    Chapter 383

    "Our daughter hasn't even finished speaking, what are you doing?" Guo Chunhua was frustrated to see that the old man was getting too angry.

    How could Yingying be so clueless?

    If she keeps expecting the eldest son to support the other children, there would never be a chance to repair her relationship with him.

    "Eldest daughter-in-law, go give your sister a couple of pancakes."

    Guo Chunhua, protective of her daughter, knew that if she let her daughter continue speaking at home, the old man would end up in the hospital from anger, and her daughter wouldn't need to come back anymore.

    The relationship between the two families was beyond repair.

    "Mom..." Qi Yingying couldn't believe that even her mother, who had always been loving, was now dismissing her and urging her to leave.

    "Enough, don't beg your mother. We know why you came today. The eldest grandson is back, and we're as happy as you are. In the next two days, we'll go visit the child with your brother. From now on, we'll maintain our family relations separately.

    If you don't care for him, I, as his grandfather, will have to care for him more.

    Why did I end up with a daughter who doesn't think clearly?

    I failed to raise you properly, and now the child is paying the price for it.

    Speaking of Weiwei's marriage, you made a smart decision there. It's right to wait. Your nephew told me Ji Feng’s not exactly a stand-up guy.

    But let's not jump to conclusions. We'll wait and see how things go.

    If everything goes well, let us know when it's time for the wedding. Your mother and I have set aside a dowry for Weiwei.

    It's not common these days, but it's fine for us to subsidize the child ourselves.

    And don’t forget to let us know when He Cheng's son is born. Don't wait too long, or it'll be embarrassing for you if we only find out when the child is a month old."

    Qi Shizhong rattled off a mix of advice and complaints in one breath.

    He was both angry and worried about his disappointing daughter.

    Although Qi Yingying didn't get any extra help, she got pretty much everything she wanted.

    "Dad, about He Cheng..." Qi Yingying still wanted to try to get something extra for her second son, preferably some money.

    "We’ll discuss it after his son is born. I'll be honest, the inheritance I leave for you is fair. If you use it now, you'll have less in the future.

    Before, I thought it was fine, but seeing your situation today, I've decided to reallocate your share.

    You have four children, so I'll divide your share into five parts.

    The other four parts will go to the children, and you can keep one part for yourself.

    You can decide who gets it later. We'll handle this next week when you have the children take some time off and come to see me."

    After speaking, Qi Shizhong felt even more exhausted.

    Qi Yingying didn't expect this turn of events—her father actually wanted her to give some of her share to the eldest son?

    No way!

    Though she felt resentful, she had no choice but to agree, knowing her father never changed his mind once he decided.

    "Yingying, take the pancakes with you and eat them on the way back in the car." Qi Dasao specially packed four pancakes to make sure they had enough.

    "I'm not eating. Weiwei, let's go back." Qi Yingying didn't care about the pancakes. She didn’t need any more food or favors.

    After she left in a huff, Qi Dasao was still confused. What’s her problem now?

    "Don't worry about her. Go cook." Qi Shizhong knew his daughter was upset, but he didn't feel like dealing with her.

    "You! She rarely comes back, and you just send her off like that." Guo Chunhua sadly complained to her husband. Among all their children, she knew her daughter’s life was the hardest.

    It wasn't about money. Their son-in-law had a respectable job, and her daughter’s work was good too.

    It was just that there were too many messy things at home, and then the child went missing...

    "Sending her away is being kind. I should have thrown her out. Keep protecting her, just look at what she's become now. Our son even fought with her husband because of her.

    What did she do?

    All these years, haven't we treated her well? Look at her now. She doesn't even want to stay for half a day after coming back.

    The child that went missing for so many years, and now that we've found him, what has she done?

    She does whatever she wants, and nothing she does is acceptable."

    As Qi Shizhong went on, he lost his appetite, and his chest felt like it was on fire. He coughed heavily several times.

    "Calm down, okay? I’ll stop talking about it," Guo Chunhua said, seeing her husband was furious.

    "When the eldest son gets off work, ask him to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy more eggs and meat. Use all the meat coupons for the next two months. Tomorrow, we'll go visit our grandson.

    Our precious grandson, and I still haven’t even seen him."

    Qi Shizhong carefully instructed, worried the family might overlook this matter.

    "I understand," Guo Chunhua said. She also wanted to see her grandson. When her daughter was still at home, she loved this daughter the most.

    After the child got married, she started looking forward to seeing her grandson.

    Her husband even argued several times with the in-laws about naming the child. In the end, they didn't get to use the name. She and her husband didn’t even hear the child cry once.

    Carrying a bag full of nutritional supplements, they struggled to get to the county hospital, only to hear the devastating news that their grandson was missing.

    They scolded and even hit their son-in-law, but it did no good.

    For years, they thought the child might be gone. Who could have imagined he would come back this year? And from what they heard, he seemed like a good child.

    "Our son shouldn't go tomorrow, right? He's exhausted. Let him rest at home," Guo Chunhua said, worried about her son. She and her husband could go see the grandson themselves.

    They wanted to see the child, so why bother other family members?

    "As the uncle, shouldn’t he go meet his nephew? If it weren’t for our daughter’s drama, the grandson might have come to visit us by now. Would we even need to go see him?"

    The more Qi Shizhong thought about it, the more he wished he had gotten involved sooner.

    After her husband scolded her, Guo Chunhua dropped the subject and went to the kitchen with her daughter-in-law, feeling upset.

    On the other side, after Qi Yingying pulled He Wei outside, she cried angrily, "Everyone’s mad at me. Your father says it's my fault, and now my grandfather says it's my fault too. What did I do wrong? I did everything for you all."

    "Mom... there are people around, so please try not to cry. Besides, I think Grandpa had a point. Look, things didn't turn out the way you planned, but Dad has started taking care of us anyway.

    Even the youngest brother's job is about to be settled now. Even though it happened differently, Big Brother has definitely helped us since he came back.

    Didn't you say we should get along better with Big Brother?

    He's your son too, after all."

    He Wei couldn't figure out why her mom was crying so hard when things were clearly improving.

    Qi Yingying felt choked up, unable to put her thoughts into words. She wanted to scold her daughter but couldn't bring herself to do it. She was too upset to speak.

    The trip went smoothly, and along the way, Qi Yingying gradually calmed down and came to terms with things.

    But that calm only lasted until they were about to open the door to their home.
