After repeatedly considering it, Mother Qi also felt that Auntie truly had no better choice, so she listened to the others and planned to give her a call.
But before she could call, Auntie called first, crying and cursing as she spoke.
"...And you still want me to fulfill his wish with that bitch? Why should I? Only if I die would I fulfill them. This damned, heartless, sooner die outside!" Auntie said on the phone.
Mother Qi listened to her until Auntie’s mood seemed much calmer, and then she advised, "But it’s good that the child has returned, at least you’ll have someone to rely on for the rest of your life."
"Erzhen, what are you saying!" Auntie was taken aback.
"Big sister, I’m not trying to speak for Weixia, and don’t be annoyed with my harsh words. I’m just saying it as it is. Look, before Weixia returned, when Weiqiu was with you, how difficult was it to find her a match? From last year until now, none seemed suitable. Isn’t it because they heard she had to take you along to marry?" Mother Qi said.
Auntie immediately became angry, "Erzhen, how can you say that? You’re stabbing me in the heart with your words!"
"Big sister, I’m just straightforward like this. You know that. If I don’t say it, think about it yourself—isn’t it true?"
Auntie remained silent on the other end, but her breathing was heavy.
"With this dragging on, nothing gets done, and you’ll end up with Weiqiu becoming an old maid. Can you bear that?" Mother Qi continued, "Just look at this point with Weiqiu, there’s no solution. As parents, they say, having children is a lifetime of debts, that’s the logic!"
