Chapter 479

"What?" Qi Yingying doubted her own ears and turned to look at her son.

Weren't you two going to He Tian's house to check on him?

Why did you suddenly come back?

And now, you're so mad you want to toss out Dad's stuff?

With Old He's respect for Dad, has he lost his mind?

He Ming, catching his mother's puzzled look, wished he could vent and spill everything that just happened. But Dad doesn't seem to be in a good place mentally; would he just break down if told?

While He Ming was still debating whether to tell or not, He Zhifei, seeing his wife not budging, got even madder: "Can't you hear me? Fine, I'll do it myself!"

With that, He Zhifei stormed into He Quan's room.

"What's wrong with your dad?" Qi Yingying was secretly thrilled but still a bit worried about her husband's state of mind.

Hearing this, He Ming quickly whispered what had just happened.

Qi Yingying thought she'd seen everything in this family.

Now, hearing about anything, she'd at most get mad, but never shocked.

But... Her son's big reveal still left her stunned.

This is just too much!

"Is it true?" Qi Yingying asked, then realized it was a dumb question.

If it weren't true, would Old He be this mad?

"Finally, their family won't be bugging us anymore, it's just a shame our family's given them so much over the years. Their whole family's no good!

And your grandpa, from now on, we can't mention them in our family.

Who knows, one day when your dad calms down, he might remember them and bring them back."

Qi Yingying felt she hadn't bought enough food today; she should've bought more!

To celebrate today's good news!

Not long after, He Zhifei came downstairs with a big bag of stuff and tossed it right by the door.

He Cheng and his wife, coming out of their room, saw He Zhifei furious and were stunned.

"Dad, what's up?" He Cheng asked, confused.

He Zhifei didn't want to explain, he just glared at his younger son: "He Ming, take these things back to them, I'm going to your Uncle Shen's place."

With that, he left first.

The speed at which he left left He Cheng and his wife completely baffled.

They looked at Qi Yingying in confusion.

"He Ming, you go and deliver the items. I'll talk to your brother and the rest," Qi Yingying said, sending her son out and then calling her daughter over.

She then filled them in on what had just happened.

Once again, everyone was taken aback.

Xu Niandi was stunned. How could their family be such a mess?

She thought her own family's problems were bad enough, but the He family's drama was on another level. No wonder Grandpa always favored Third Uncle's family and wasn't too fond of her in-laws.

So that's what was really going on.

"From now on, stay away from their family, especially you, He Cheng. Don't let He Tian rope you into some scheme and end up being his pawn," Qi Yingying warned her second son.

This kid, ever since he married Xu Niandi, has always been strapped for cash.

If He Tian, now desperate, comes knocking again, the family will be thrown into chaos.

She finally got what she wanted and couldn't afford to mess things up now.

"Mom, don't worry. I'm not an idiot. I know what's important. From now on, we won't have to deal with Grandpa, and things will be easier," He Cheng said, extremely happy.

Soon, once He Wei gets married, it'll just be me and He Ming left at home.

Big Brother wants nothing to do with this family, so he's out of the picture.

I'm the only one who can inherit the house and our parents' stuff.

Isn't life looking up?

I always thought about moving out, but what's so great about living somewhere else?

Now I've got it figured out. I'll take care of Mom and Dad in their old age and let He Ming move out!

"Mom, do you think Dad will want to bring Big Brother back home? You should work with Dad on this. Big Brother is family, after all," He Wei glanced at her second brother, knowing he was scheming again.

Second Brother is even more of a mess than Big Brother.

At the mention of her eldest son, Qi Yingying's smile disappeared.

He's nothing but a headache!

Her parents still don't know about the fallout with their eldest son. With everyone starting their holidays, her parents might take her brother to Qinghe's place any day now.

When they find out what's been going on, won't they blame her?

Qi Yingying was feeling down.

Meanwhile, the two elderly folks she was worried about had already shown up at Wang Qinghe and his wife's place.

After all the drama, it was already pretty late.

The two elderly people deliberately chose this time, worried that their grandson might go to his teacher's place to start his apprenticeship in the evening, and they wouldn't get to see him.

Just as Qi Shizhong was about to knock on the door, Wang Qinghe, who had just returned, saw them as he entered the alley.

"Why are you two here at this hour?" Wang Qinghe asked, puzzled.

As soon as he saw his grandson, Qi Shizhong's joy was evident on his face: "Qinghe, your grandmother and I have come to see you. It's been a while since we last saw you. How have you been?

Has your third uncle been giving you trouble again?

Last time, your uncle had your cousin cause trouble for him. Did he end up in trouble?"

Qi Shizhong asked repeatedly.

Wang Qinghe thought for a moment and remembered that He Ming had mentioned his third uncle being beaten up, and they didn't know who did it.

And it wasn't just once; it happened several times, probably related to this incident?

"He did get into trouble, but it won't happen again. Let's head inside; it's chilly out here." Wang Qinghe had no ill will towards these two elders.

Guo Chunhua looked at her grandson and noticed that he was becoming more careful in his speech.

It seemed like they had grown more distant; it was better the last time they visited.

Qi Shizhong didn't feel this way, and the two followed Wang Qinghe into the house.

Inside, it was warm and cozy. Wei Pozi had already taken the two children to bed by this time. Bai Xiuxiu, who didn't have to work starting tomorrow, was reading a book.

Seeing Wang Qinghe bring the two elders back, Bai Xiuxiu closed her book: "What brings you two here at this hour? It's dark and slippery out there, please have a seat."

Qi Shizhong and Guo Chunhua didn't feel too awkward and sat down.

Qi Shizhong was still confused by Wang Qinghe's earlier words: "Qinghe, what did you mean by not needing to bother your third uncle anymore?"

"He had teamed up with the two sons of Old Wang’s family, who tried to kidnap me, and hired others to try to kill me. The plan backfired, and now he's behind bars.

I also turned in evidence of his attempt to have Old Wang’s family kidnap me.

Because of this, I've completely cut ties with the He family.

So, there's no need to cause them any more trouble."

Wang Qinghe briefly explained the situation.

Qi Shizhong was so furious he nearly passed out, slamming the table: "That monster!"
