Mother Qi hadn’t felt this frustrated and wronged in her entire life as she did today. The reason was nothing but Qi Xiaoqi. Whenever she held him, he would immediately start wailing. Once he was in someone else’s arms, the crying stopped, and when he returned to her arms, the crying resumed. Even when the second aunt held him, the child behaved well and even flashed a generous smile.
Seeing this made Mother Qi’s heartache and discomfort deepen with a sense of grievance. Why was it that everyone could hold him without any issue, but when she held him, he would cry?
Could it be that her daughter-in-law secretly taught her grandson not to be close to her?
It was small-minded of Mother Qi to think this way—Qi Xiaoqi was just a month old. Even if he were taught, could such a young child understand?
But regardless of the truth, Qi Xiaoqi simply didn’t want Mother Qi to hold him, otherwise he would bawl. Cheng Su couldn’t stand it, so she gently reproached him while holding him, "What’s wrong with you today? That’s your grandmother!"
This rebuke made Mother Qi’s heart ache. She said, "Forget it, maybe it’s because my foot is still wrapped with ointment that has a smell. It makes him uncomfortable!"
She could only comfort herself this way.
Cheng Su gave a wry smile. As the family chatted, Cheng Yaozu and the Old Master Cheng arrived.
They had heard long ago that Old Master Cheng would attend the full month banquet. However, since he was old and had traveled such a long distance by train, enduring the journey’s trials, Cheng Su didn’t expect him to actually come. But now that he was here, they were naturally surprised and delighted.
"I thought you weren’t coming!" Cheng Su personally helped the old gentleman sit down.
"Today’s my grandson’s big day. How could I not come? I can still walk!" Old Master Cheng sat down with a smile, looking around at everyone in the room.
Cheng Su naturally had to introduce everyone. Old Master Cheng held Father Cheng’s hand and said, "You’ve raised a good daughter. I’m just taking advantage, recognizing her as a goddaughter. You don’t mind, do you?"
These words meant, even if you mind, it’s too late since the recognition has been made. What could be said against it?
