Chi Sihai is gone.
He led a horse, carried a flat bag on his back, and despite the pain from his wounds, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the elderly couple.
"Mom and Dad, I'm sorry. I want to go out and clear my head. Maybe I can let go of my obsessions. I will definitely come back and take good care of you when the time comes!"
From now on, I'll have to trouble you two to take care of Goro.
After saying that, Chi Sihai struggled to mount his horse and left without hesitation.
If he didn't leave soon, he didn't know if he would torture himself to death.
So, go out.
Perhaps in the vast world outside, I can rediscover myself.
The elderly couple stood in the glow of the setting sun, backlit, watching their son's figure grow smaller and smaller until it disappeared from sight...
Aunt Chi cried.
She cried silently.
Old Man Chi wanted to scold her for driving her son away.
But he swallowed that thought in the end. Instead of making sarcastic remarks, he put his arm around his wife's shoulder and patted her hard.
"Going out is a good thing. Seeing the vast world might help you figure things out on your own."
"Who the hell feels sorry for him? I'll pretend I never gave birth to that bastard! I'm just pitiful Wulang!"
Aunt Chi burst into tears.
She just felt sorry for her grandson.
Compared to her son, Chi Sihai was more troublesome and disruptive, which annoyed Aunt Chi.
The grandson is cautious and never causes trouble; his sensible nature is heartbreaking.
Between the two, which one do I feel more sorry for? Need I even ask?
"Sigh. Our sons are all so selfish. The third son abandoned Silang and An'an, and now Sihai has abandoned Wulang..."
They never even considered being parents to them.
"Ignore them, whether it's the third or fourth son, oh right, and the second son! We'll leave them all alone and just take care of our grandson."
That was also surprising.
Surprisingly, Chi Sihai's departure made Aunt Chi see things clearly, and she stopped insisting on interfering in her son's affairs.
What does it matter if we're married or not, or whether we have a son?
If they themselves don't care, why should she bother to care and take care of them?
Not only do you have to worry and put in a lot of effort, but you also don't get a single kind word in return.
What's the point?
That's settled then.
Let whoever wants to do it do it.
"Yes, let the sons do whatever they want, we just need to take care of Tangtang."
"right."
After the elderly couple returned home, they called their sons over and told them about Chi Sihai.
At the same time.
Aunt Chi said to the eldest son and his wife, "Although the courtyard over at Fenghua Hall is small, it's enough for your whole family to live in."
Okay, about that courtyard, have your father and Dashan go there later and transfer the deed to Dashan. Your whole family can live there.
I'm old, and my thoughts are different from yours. So I won't interfere with your affairs anymore.
This is something Aunt Chi figured out on the way.
Sister-in-law Chi was shocked: "Mother, what are you doing? Only Dashan and Xiaowu are home right now, and Xiaowu is so young, how can we..."
"Eldest daughter-in-law, I'm so sorry for you and Dashan. You two have given so much and sacrificed so much for this family. I want to make it up to you."
Aunt Chi wiped away tears as she spoke of her emotions.
To be honest...
Which daughter-in-law would want to live with her mother-in-law?
We didn't have the means before, but now that we do, of course we should help them.
"And it's also convenient for Xiao Suotou to go to school." Old Man Chi also supported this view.
Of course, the elderly naturally hope to have many children and grandchildren.
But the other three sons are so willful, why should the eldest son always take care of them and please everyone else?
Should the eldest child be expected to sacrifice for their younger brothers and parents?
The grandchildren are all grown up now; they should naturally think more about this.
"But I'm worried."
Sister-in-law Chi counted on her fingers: "Look, Mother, you can't get too angry. There are so many children in the family, and you're the only one taking care of them. It's inevitable that you'll get angry."
Then if you live separately, you'll miss Xiao Suotou and Changsheng, and then..."
Before she could finish speaking, her mother-in-law firmly grasped Chi's hand.
Aunt Chi, with tears in her eyes, was deeply moved: "Little sister, please agree, so that your mother can feel better. Your mother doesn't want to owe you too much."
Looking at her mother-in-law, Sister-in-law Chi suddenly understood. With tears in her eyes, she nodded heavily.
“Alright, I’ll listen to you, Mother. But… let Wulang come with us. Silang will be at the workshop during the day, so you can take care of Xiaowu and your sister.”
"No. It's not that I don't trust you, but as your aunt, you can't be too lenient or too harsh when it comes to managing your nephew..."
Aunt Chi also didn't want Wu Lang to follow the same old path of immortality.
As the grandmother, she is the most suitable person to discipline them.
Otherwise, when the daughter-in-law tries to discipline Wulang, she always loses her composure and overthinks things.
"……mother."
Sister-in-law Chi's voice choked with emotion.
While she felt grateful for her mother-in-law's actions, she also felt heartbroken for her.
At the same time, he also harbored some resentment towards his brothers-in-law.
He was even more determined to talk to Dashan properly when he returned, telling him not to interfere too much in the affairs of his uncles, so as to avoid problems in the future.
Regulation is acceptable, but it must be moderate.
"Let's move there. It will be more convenient for Xiao Suotou to study, and... it will save us from worrying about Changsheng."
Despite her resolute handing out the stick during the day, she knew in her heart how much heartache and inner turmoil she was going through.
When she went out to buy land with Xiao Wu, she secretly wiped away tears several times.
"……OK."
Upon hearing about Changsheng, Sister-in-law Chi agreed more readily.
Changsheng is such a difficult child to manage. I'll inevitably have to resort to physical punishment in the future. If my mother-in-law takes pity on him, things will really get complicated.
"You should cultivate one or two more people you trust in your restaurant, so you don't overwork yourself. You can never earn all the money in the world..."
"Yes, Mother, I understand."
Although she had made the decision, Sister-in-law Chi still decided to move in a couple of days.
Fenghua Hall also needs to be tidied up properly.
Goro and Anan Shiro both stayed behind.
Aunt Chi had the three brothers move into their courtyard, and they could move out when they were a few years older, which would make it easier to take care of them.
The children had almost no worries.
After boiling the water, the three of them, Shiro, Goro, and Xiao Wu, went to take a bath together, and soon their playful noises could be heard.
Chi Tang expressed her envy: "I want to go too."
Let's play in the water.
How wonderful!
"Tangtang can't go," Huo Chenyi said quickly.
How could Tangtang have such a dangerous idea?
Chi Tang pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
Huo Chenyi saw all of this, had an idea in mind, and went out shortly afterward.
The Chi family ignored him.
Chi Tang is sleeping alone now. Jiu Hua and Jiu Li insist on taking turns keeping watch over her at night. Chi Tang refused twice, but seeing their insistence, she let them have their way.
Putting everything else aside, the sounds of wealthy people in ancient times were truly a treat.
