Old Man Chi tapped his pipe hard, his face contorted in a pained expression, and asked:
"Third brother's wife, let me ask you, if you could only save one of Tangtang and An'an, who would you choose?"
"Can these be considered the same?"
Old Man Chi calmly analyzed: "When your mother entered the house, she saw Tangtang about to fall, not Tangtang and An'an falling at the same time! Naturally, she would save Tangtang who fell first! An'an was trying to grab Tangtang, which is why she fell backward. This is something your mother didn't expect!"
“We’re all family. Even if your mother and I favor Tangtang, our youngest daughter, it’s impossible for us not to love our children and grandchildren! Remember this! I, Chi Yongcai, swear to God with my hand on my heart that both your mother and I love our children and grandchildren!”
In the past, Aunt Chi was the one who made the decisions in the Chi family.
In fact, many people even perceive Mr. Chi as somewhat henpecked.
But this doesn't mean that the Chi family is solely ruled by Aunt Chi.
Old Man Chi usually gives in to his wife and is honest and quiet, but that doesn't mean he lacks the ability to handle things.
"...Who could have imagined this? I wish I had been the one who smashed my head!" Aunt Chi sobbed.
Seeing her grandson injure his head, Aunt Chi felt as if her heart had been ripped out!
This time it was her oversight that allowed Xiao Zhou to make veiled accusations without offering any explanation.
Because she didn't know if she would want to kill someone if Tang Bao broke her head!
"Mother, what happened to your face?" Sister-in-law Chi asked.
That just goes to show, women are more meticulous.
Only then did the Chi family notice that half of Aunt Chi's cheek was swollen and red, with a very obvious handprint.
Chi Sanhe was stunned, as if struck by lightning, and jumped up: "Little Zhou, how dare you hit my mother?"
Chi San's sister-in-law was so angry her eyes almost popped out.
"Sanhe, don't talk nonsense, I hit myself... Seeing An'an like that, I hated myself and slapped myself."
As soon as Aunt Chi finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the room.
Yes.
This is something no one expected to happen.
Old Man Chi took a worried puff of his pipe and said, "This is something no one expected... Sanhe, I'll give you some money later. Go to town and buy some good things for An'an to nourish her properly... Third brother's wife, don't go out for a while. Stay home and take good care of An'an..."
This result still didn't satisfy Sister-in-law Chi.
But she also knew that no matter how much she made a fuss, it wouldn't change anything, so she could only angrily drag Chi Sanhe back to the west wing.
After the third son and his wife left.
Chi Dashan then comforted his mother: "Mom, don't blame yourself too much... Don't take what your third son's wife said to heart. As a mother, it's natural to be upset when you see your child break their head."
"Yes, Mother, please don't blame yourself."
Although Sister-in-law Chi was particularly agitated about what happened today, everyone understood.
only……
But Sister-in-law Chi is not up to the task!
After returning to the west wing, Sister-in-law Chi began to mutter and curse:
"See that? Is our An'an even comparable to a single hair on Chi Tang's head?"
Third Sister-in-law Chi shoved Chi Sanhe angrily, resenting that her husband hadn't spoken up for her earlier. "I told you before that your parents were biased towards Chi Tang, but you didn't take it seriously. Now that An'an has broken her head, don't you believe me?"
Chi Sanhe staggered back two steps after being pushed, and patiently advised her, "What are you talking about? Didn't Mother say that Tangtang fell down first? So of course Mother went to catch Tangtang."
"Only my mother was there at the time, so of course she could say whatever she wanted!"
Did it fall first?
Do you think she's stupid?
Who knew that An'an, who was sitting pitifully on the kang (a heated brick bed) eating a melon, would suddenly raise her head and weakly say, "It was my aunt who fell down. I saw it, and then I tried to pull her up, and that's when I fell down too..."
An'an didn't understand the adults' complicated thoughts, but he heard about who fell first, so he told them what he knew.
Chi San's sister-in-law was so angry that she glared at her silly son!
An'an shrank back in fear and dared not utter a sound.
"See, you've misunderstood your mother."
Chi Sanhe went up to his wife with a grin and put his arm around her shoulder.
Third Sister-in-law Chi pushed him away: "Get out of here!"
She gets annoyed just seeing that guy's smirking face!
Is he an idiot?
All he does is laugh all day!
Chi Sanhe's face immediately fell.
He considered himself to be good-tempered enough.
What's wrong?
Isn't this over yet?
"Then tell me, what do you want to do? An'an also said what happened, that it's inevitable for children to bump and bruise themselves."
"Do you think this is going to go on and on?"
With red eyes, Sister-in-law Chi questioned the man, "Don't you feel sorry for An'an seeing her like this?"
"How can I not feel sorry for you?"
"So how did you behave?"
Chi Sanhe thought this woman had gone mad. He tilted his head, spat, and asked with a sneer, "Then what should I do? Go and have Mother smash her head open too, and then come back?"
Immediately, Sister-in-law Chi was so angry that her liver ached.
Chi Sanhe pressed his advantage: "Come on, tell me, what do you want me to do? Tell me, and I'll do as you say!"
"I……"
Sister-in-law Chi couldn't say it.
Her mind was a complete mess, and she couldn't explain it to herself.
Seeing her like this, Chi Sanhe immediately mocked, "Look, you don't even know what you want me to do, so what right do you have to scold me? Alright, take a good look at An'an. I'm going to go get some money from Dad and go to town to buy things for An'an."
"Do you even know what to buy? I'll go myself," said Sister-in-law Chi San in an annoyed tone.
