Once someone started it, those who were unhappy followed immediately said:
"Exactly! If you ask me, we, as members of our clan, have done more than enough."
The Chi family has been causing trouble every day for the past few days, making it impossible for people to do anything. At lunchtime, they also have to provide meals for people.
Although these things come from the clan, aren't all things from the clan ultimately ours?
Being annoyed by someone on one hand, and having to serve them good food and drink on the other—just thinking about it makes me feel pathetic.
Those who are skilled at calculation said it even more directly:
"In my opinion, you should just do as the Chi family wants and give the child to them."
Premature babies are generally weak, and whether they can survive is a question.
Even if they could survive, who could afford the constant medication?
Despite being in pain all over, seeing everyone saying the same thing, Mrs. Shen also earnestly offered her advice:
"Second brother, just listen to everyone. That short-lived fellow will be lucky to live to be a year old."
If you want a child, wait until you pass the imperial examination, and your mother will find you a husband.
"You can have ten or eight children then, I'll take them all!"
Old Man Qi, also known as Qi Wenhan, has finally reached his breaking point.
Seeing that everyone thought it would be better to return the child, they rarely spoke up.
"Second brother, if the Chi family wants a child, then give it to them."
Let's pretend this child was never born; the previous baby born to Madam Chi was stillborn!
Upon hearing this, Qi Mingyu looked up at Old Man Qi in disbelief: "Father, how could even you..."
Qi Wenhan has been hit hard these past two days, and he looks much older, even his back is a bit hunched.
Knowing his son's resentment, he said, "You've never even seen the child, so it's impossible for you to have any fatherly affection for him."
Father knows you are unwilling to accept this, and perhaps you have other concerns.
But our family is in such a state now that it can't withstand any more disruption.
We don't even have the money to buy roof tiles, let alone pots, pans, and other household utensils.
Shen, who was standing next to him, nodded repeatedly: "Your father is right!"
My son, just listen to your parents, we would never harm you!
You may not know the value of Chi's other dowry items, besides the dowry money she received.
Mother will tell you now, those furs alone will cost over two hundred taels.
My mother once went to a fur shop to inquire, and she learned that a piece of fine material, such as that pure white fox fur without any blemishes, would cost ten taels.
Son, think about it, she not only had white fox fur, but also tiger skins and the like, there were three big boxes full of them.
"Her brothers started saving this money from the time she was born; we simply can't afford to pay it back!"
Those from the Qi clan present gasped upon hearing this, while some inwardly cursed them as idiots.
Why not just enjoy a perfectly good life instead of making a fuss over nothing?
If you want Qi Mingyu to inherit both branches of the family line, then just discuss it openly and hold a banquet if necessary.
If Madam Chi is unwilling, others will have their say in what she does.
They were quite something; they wanted Qi Mingyu to inherit both branches of the family, but they were also afraid that Madam Chi wouldn't agree. In the end, because they were unhappy, they refused to provide any money for household expenses.
They just kept it a secret!
You can just keep it a secret. If you don't hold a banquet, it doesn't count as a secondary lineage. If people find out later, your reputation will just suffer.
As long as Qi Mingyu doesn't admit it, no one can do anything to him.
But why did they have to do something like this, causing someone to have a premature birth?
Not only that, but they also viciously switched someone else's child. Is this something a human being could do?
Let alone this happening to the spirited hunters of the Chi family.
Even ordinary villagers like them would be so angry that they'd fight the other side to the death, right?
Why are people unwilling to keep their children? Isn't it because they don't trust the family and are afraid the children will die?
The Chi family lacks daughters, not sickly premature babies!
Now look what happened! Not only did we lose everything, but we also have to pay a heavy price.
And as members of their tribe, they all had to lose face.
If it weren't for the fact that they were from the same clan, they wouldn't bother standing here. They're not just standing around doing nothing!
