Mother Qi angrily returned to her own room, sat on the bed, and listened to the conversation outside. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and she couldn’t help but start to cry.
Qi Taiguo walked in and saw his elderly mother wiping her tears, her temples somewhat gray, and he couldn’t help but feel a pang in his heart. However, he put on a smiling face.
"Mom."
Mother Qi glanced at him and said, "Why are you coming in here? Go outside and flatter your in-laws and wife!"
"Mom, what are you talking about? What flattery? Your son, am I that kind of person?" Qi Taiguo went over, put his arms around her shoulders, sat beside her, and smiled.
Mother Qi sneered, "I see you’re almost like your mother-in-law’s son now, saying nice things one after another, isn’t that flattery?"
"Mom, I don’t agree with what you said. You know the saying ’A son-in-law is like half a son.’ I’m her son-in-law; if I don’t say nice things to my mother-in-law, am I supposed to say unpleasant things? How would that look to others? Wouldn’t that imply you didn’t teach me well? I can’t bear to let others talk badly about my mom."
Qi Taiguo’s words hit the mark, making Mother Qi feel a bit better, and she said, "Naturally, my son is well-taught."
Qi Taiguo echoed her words and continued, "Besides, last year when you injured your leg and Cheng Su was having a baby, Mother-in-law left Father-in-law alone and stayed for half a year to help take care of Cheng Su and Xiao Qi instead of you. I am grateful for that, and those nice words are genuine. We must not forget kindness, don’t you think?"
Mother Qi felt bittersweet again, looking at her leg, and said, "If it weren’t for that accident, my leg would be fine, and I wouldn’t need your mother-in-law to replace me. I would be more than willing to help take care of Xiao Qi."
