Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 1573

Chapter 1573: Chapter 1574: Qi Xiaoqi: Better Sleep with Grandma

Cheng Su was quite surprised with her old mother’s easygoing nature. When Cheng Su mentioned performing a ritual, it didn’t feel odd; people in the countryside were just like that, turning to gods and spirits at the first sign of trouble.

What he didn’t tell Cheng Su was that Mother Qi had privately asked him if Cheng Su had spoken ill of her to Xiao Qi. Naturally, he said no, but he still found it odd that the child steadfastly refused to be held by the old mother.

Performing a ritual wasn’t a bad idea.

Qi Taiguo looked at his son and said, "If, as Sister-in-law Song said, Xiao Qi saw something dirty, a ritual might help. But if he’s rejecting his grandma, it could be troublesome!"

Qi Xiaoqi clutched his little hands, tilting his head as if looking at Qi Taiguo, or maybe somewhere else.

"What kind of trouble?"

"Like I said before, who’ll look after the child?" Qi Taiguo said, "Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, you’ll start school in half a month, right? No matter how light your courses, you’ll have to commute between two places. Someone has to look after the child. Can your mother do it endlessly? Leaving your father alone back home makes me uneasy."

Cheng Su chuckled, "I’ve already talked to my parents about this."

"Oh?"

"Cheng Zhi didn’t get into college and plans to go into business with my third uncle. My dad is home alone, just taking care of a few acres of land with nothing much to do. If he gets bored, he could come over to stay and help my mom with the child. When he’s fed up with staying, he could go back to the countryside for a few days." Cheng Su eyed him, "What do you think?"

"If your father is willing, it sounds fine." Qi Taiguo said.

"Doesn’t it feel unfair? Letting the maternal grandparents take care, but not the paternal ones? Don’t you have any thoughts on that?" Cheng Su said with a half-smile.

Qi Taiguo was momentarily taken aback, "What thoughts could I have? You don’t have the time, and the child must be taken care of. You can’t just drop out of school, and the business needs managing. Besides, it’s not that we’re not letting my parents take care; it’s that my mom’s leg isn’t healed yet. Even if we let her take care, she couldn’t."
