Returning home from the agricultural market, just as she was going upstairs, Cheng Su and Mother Cheng heard the loud cries of Qi Xiaoqi. Mother Cheng said, "No doubt, your mother-in-law must be insisting on holding Xiao Qi, making him unhappy again."
Cheng Su chuckled, walked through the door, and as expected, Mother Qi was holding Qi Xiaoqi while she walked. The child cried pitifully, and Father Qi was persuading her to give the child to him, but Mother Qi was unwilling to let go.
"Awake now?" Cheng Su put down her things and walked over.
Upon seeing her return, Mother Qi looked a bit sheepish, as if trying to cover up: "Just woke up, maybe he didn’t sleep enough, crying hard."
Cheng Su didn’t expose her and said, "He might be hungry, I’ll feed him some milk."
Regardless of her reluctance, Mother Qi had to hand the child over to Cheng Su. Seeing Cheng Su, Qi Xiaoqi pouted with grievance, sobbing intermittently, making others feel compassionate.
Once handed over, he stopped crying. Mother Qi felt more awkward and a bit sour: "After all, he’s close to his mother. This child, whoever takes care of him more, that’s who he’ll be close to." Not mentioning it was because of her.
Such sourness, like having swallowed century-old vinegar.
Everyone remained silent, Cheng Su took the child to breastfeed, while Mother Cheng prepared dinner. To break the awkwardness, Mother Qi joined her in the kitchen.
Cheng Su hadn’t cooked for a while. With Elder Sister bringing her partner over and the in-laws visiting, once Qi Xiaoqi was fed, she placed him with her father-in-law and went to the kitchen herself, rolling up her sleeves to cook.
"Mom, your legs aren’t fully recovered, why don’t you sit down, I’ll handle this." Cheng Su said to Mother Qi.
Mother Qi heard this, but preferred watching her grandson, so she comfortably went to do so.
