Qi Jianguo was not a carefree person; he first called his older brother to see if there were any possibilities for a turnaround, but nobody answered the home phone or his office phone, so he gave up.
Returning home, Father Qi saw him and asked with a stern face, "You’re back? Why were you gone for so long?"
Qi Jianguo glanced at his father and cautiously replied, "Mom dragged me aside to talk for a bit."
Father Qi snorted and plucked at the bamboo strips of the basket in his hand, saying, "No matter what your mother says, don’t bother with it. This isn’t something you should deal with. Just focus on your studies and strive to get into college."
"Mm." Qi Jianguo nodded but hesitated before adding, "Dad, Mom said she feels very uncomfortable living in the old house and she has lost weight. I think Mom knows she was wrong. How about..."
Father Qi’s hands paused in their work and he glanced at him, "Don’t you know what kind of person your mother is? How much of what she says can you really believe? Don’t concern yourself with it, I’ll handle it."
This meant he had no intention of letting Mother Qi come back. Qi Jianguo felt a rush of heat to his head and said, "Dad, this can’t go on forever, right? Mom is getting older, are you two going to be at odds for the rest of your lives? As for Sister-in-law... Dad, must we wait until Sister-in-law says it’s okay?"
"Jianguo, you still don’t understand. A harmonious home leads to prosperity in all endeavors. The prosperity of a family absolutely requires a good daughter-in-law and cannot tolerate troublemakers. Your sister-in-law is capable. She and your brother are the foundation of the Qi family’s prosperity. Of course, there’s you as well. Once you’ve completed your studies, our family will have made its mark!"
Qi Jianguo pursed his lips.
"Go and study now, you don’t need to worry about the family matters," Father Qi lowered his head again.
