When Qi Taiguo entered the room, Mother Qi was angrily stuffing clothes into the red, white, and blue bag she had brought, while Qi Fenglian was ceaselessly trying to persuade her, but upon seeing her younger brother, it was like she had seen a savior.
"Mom, calm down, Cheng Su is just talking nonsense. Don’t you know her temperament? She has to be the first in everything," Qi Taiguo braved himself to step forward.
Mother Qi’s hands halted, and she swiftly looked over, her voice cold, "Nonsense? It’s exactly because I know her temperament that I know she’s telling the truth. Tell me, is what she said all true? Did you two really agree to not have children for the next two years?"
Qi Fenglian kept making meaningful glances.
"This..." Qi Taiguo saw his older sister’s signals and truly found it difficult to speak.
"Well then, Cheng Su said I’m being fooled like a fool, but it seems you two are the ones treating me like a fool! Here I was, thinking there might be something wrong with your health, and I went out of my way to drag her to get checked. All my efforts were in vain; it turns out you two had colluded in advance. I’m the fool, I’m truly a fool!" Mother Qi began to tear up as she spoke, and her tears started flowing.
Qi Taiguo felt a throbbing pain at his temples and involuntarily reached up to press his forehead, saying, "Mom, it’s not that we conspired, we just had a mutual agreement."
Qi Fenglian tugged at him and deliberately scolded, "What nonsense are you spouting at a time like this? If you have any difficulties leading to such a decision, just speak up, so mom can understand and be sympathetic!"
"No need, I don’t have that much face for them to care; let them be. Once their wings are hardened, they can do whatever they please. I, a simple country wife, can’t control them." Mother Qi began packing again, and sternly glared at Qi Fenglian, "Are you leaving or not? If you’re not going, then I, this old lady, will go by myself."
