Mother Qi was worried that Qi Xiaoqi’s grandmother might complain to her daughter-in-law about her inappropriate behavior, but throughout breakfast, Cheng Su showed no unusual behavior and said nothing, making her wonder if she was being overly suspicious.
Still, she felt relieved because, truth be told, Mother Qi was a bit afraid of Cheng Su, her daughter-in-law, not for other reasons, but solely because of Qi Xiaoqi. If Cheng Su decided to prevent her from seeing him or being close to him, it would be unbearable for her.
Compared to bonding with her grandson, what is so-called mother-in-law authority worth?
Mother Cheng missed Father Cheng and wanted to visit their old home, but considering Qi Xiaoqi’s "clinginess," she gave up on the idea. Unexpectedly, plans couldn’t keep up with changes as a phone call from home informed her that Father Cheng had been bitten by a poisonous snake.
In the countryside, snake bites are common, and there’s usually a way to deal with them. The snake that bit Father Cheng was also poisonous. He immediately tied his calf with a rope, cleaned the wound with alcohol, and went to the hospital.
The timely treatment meant his life was not in serious danger, but the venom still spread a bit, causing a slight fever.
The call was from Third Aunt, who had come to help Cheng Su take care of the child. With only Father Cheng at home, there was no one to look after him. As a sister-in-law, she couldn’t keep running to her brother-in-law’s house. Upon hearing this, Mother Cheng was extremely worried and left Qi Xiaoqi with the Gu family, who were there, and went home to check on things.
There was no other choice. Cheng Su was also concerned and immediately let her go, personally seeing her off at the station.
"Your father-in-law is open-minded and reasonable, though your mother-in-law is a bit unreasonable. But with your father-in-law around, it should be fine. Xiao Qi is still young, so you should spend more time at home with him. Lest they can’t handle him. When your father is better, I’ll come back!" Mother Cheng urged repeatedly before getting on the bus.
Cheng Su acknowledged her understanding.
