Father Qi said he wants to go back to his hometown and is not planning to settle in Guangcheng with Qi Taiguo and the others. This really surprised Cheng Su, especially since her mother-in-law didn’t object. Could it be that after this ordeal, they’re scared?
However, she didn’t say anything. She was the daughter-in-law; it wasn’t impossible for her in-laws to settle with them in Guangcheng. She could buy another house, living on different floors or in the same community.
If they live in different cities, she wouldn’t shirk the obligation of support.
If she couldn’t manage well or provide care, she’d hire a nanny. There’s nothing money can’t solve.
Qi Taiguo felt a bit stuffy and deliberately went downstairs with his old father for a casual walk—and a father-son talk.
He took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed it to his father, lit it for him, then lit one for himself, saying, "Dad, reconsider about returning home, would you?"
He wasn’t trying to pretend to be persuasive. It’s just that now, all brothers and sisters have grown up and have their own families. He, Cheng Su, and Xiao Qi would settle in Guangcheng, and his elder sister would likely settle in Qing City, too.
As for the two younger brothers and sisters, they are about to graduate and start another life, moving forward in their youthful prime, a time to struggle. It’s impossible for them to return to the countryside.
Parents have just the four of them as siblings; now each of them has their own life and choices. If the parents return to their hometown, they will face loneliness and solitude together.
This made Qi Taiguo feel a bit distressed.
