1571 Marriage Registration
The next morning, thinking about how Grandpa Qi had been hospitalized, Chi Shuyan went out before 7am â it would have been earlier if she hadnât been worried about going too early, when Grandpa was still resting. By the time she arrived at Grandpaâs ward, it was almost 7:30am.
Fortunately, Grandpa Qi was already awake. Mother Qi, Second Aunt, and Third Aunt were all there, along with Second Uncle and Third Uncle. When Chi Shuyan knocked on the door and went in, Grandpa Qi was indeed pleasantly surprised to see her. He hurriedly waved and said amiably, âZhenbaiâs wife, why are you here?â After a pause, he sighed in delight. âItâs good that youâre here! Good child, itâs good that youâre here!â
With that, the old man immediately invited her to sit next to him and said that it had been a long time since they last met, and he wanted to chat with her for a bit.
It wasnât just the old man who was pleasantly surprised; Mother Qi and the others were also pleasantly surprised. Apart from that, Mother Qiâs feelings were also a little complicated.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
!!
Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Second Aunt Qi couldnât help but tease, âItâs good that Zhenbaiâs wife is here. Itâs good that sheâs here. Zhenbai hasnât brought Shuyan back for so long. If I didnât know better, I would have thought something had happened between the two of them.â
Second Aunt Qi wasnât talking nonsense, and it wasnât just her who felt that way. Since Shuyan hadnât come to the Qi family in so long, Third Aunt, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and even Mother Qi had also wondered if the two of them had broken up. However, this concerned Zhenbai, so even the elders didnât dare ask. In addition, too many things had happened in the Qi family recently, so at most, everyone just wondered.
They didnât expect Shuyan to really come and see the old man!
On the other hand, when the Qi family patriarch heard Second Auntâs words, he hurriedly said, âWhat nonsense are you saying? From the moment I saw this child, I knew that Shuyan was destined to be my granddaughter-in-law. She and Zhenbai are very good. Why would they break up?â
Chi Shuyan had always been close to the Qi family, especially Grandpa Qi. Seeing that he was still very amiable toward her, she couldnât help but feel a little guilty when she saw the old man lying on the bed with a pale face.
Looking at the old manâs face, she didnât dare tell him the truth to agitate him, so she could only smile at him and the Qi family silently in agreement.
The old man seemed to see her worry, and there was a rare smile on his face. He hurriedly patted the seat closest to him for her to sit down, then told the others to go out first. He had something to say to Zhenbaiâs wife.
The Qi family naturally had to listen to the old man. Mother Qi and the others immediately left the ward obediently.
As soon as everyone left the ward, it immediately fell silent. Chi Shuyan also sat on a stool next to the bed and felt the old manâs pulse.
Grandpa Qi chuckled and had an especially kindly expression on his face, without the slightest trace of impatience. When Chi Shuyan was almost done, he said, âItâs really fine, Zhenbaiâs wife. Donât listen to what other people say. How can I not know what my own health is like? Donât worry, Iâm really fine. A few days ago, the doctor said that I can be discharged. If it wasnât for my eldest son and the others, I would have been discharged long ago.â
The old man was quite annoyed at being hospitalized.
Chi Shuyan smiled at the irritation on the old manâs face. After taking his pulse, she confirmed that he was indeed fine. Although she hadnât been to the Qi family recently, she had sent a lot of good stuff, such as Nourishment Pills and spirit tea.
The old man was indeed in good health.
She was relieved, but she didnât forget to coax him. âGrandpa, the doctors have their reasons. Stay for a few more days and do a proper checkup so that Uncle and the others donât have to worry about you!â
âOkay, okay, okay⦠Iâll listen to my granddaughter-in-law!â The old man agreed happily. If it were anyone else trying to persuade him, Grandpa Qi would definitely scold them impatiently. However, when it came to his granddaughter-in-law, Grandpa Qi had to admit that he was biased. He genuinely felt that this child was good, and he couldnât wait for Zhenbai to marry her immediately.
It was just that when he thought of what had happened to the Qi family recently and how cold and ruthless Zhenbai was, the old man couldnât help but feel upset. For a moment, he didnât know if he wanted this child to immediately join the Qi family, or if he wanted Zhenbai not to harm Shuyan.
He then thought about how this child hadnât come to the Qi residence recently. She didnât even know that something had happened to Zhenbai, and the two of them didnât interact much. Perhaps something really had happened to the two children?
Although he had confidently said that the two children hadnât broken up, the old man actually felt a little uncertain now. He also felt very conflicted. If the two children were doing fine, he didnât want Zhenbai, this grandson, to be too extreme and vicious, and harm Shuyan. If something really had happened between the two of them, he couldnât help but worry, especially when it came to Zhenbai.
After hesitating for a while, the old man couldnât help but ask, âGrandaughter-in-law⦠did something happen between you and Zhenbai recently? Did you have a fight?â
Chi Shuyan took in the old manâs worried gaze and hurriedly replied, âNo, Grandpa, we didnât quarrel. Weâre fine!â
Sure enough, the old manâs first reaction was relief. He nodded excitedly. âOkay, okay, okay⦠Thatâs good! Thatâs good!â
After a pause, the old man seemed afraid that Shuyan would dislike Zhenbai, and immediately said sagely, âItâs good that you didnât have a fight. Even if you did, talk it out nicely. Donât be in a hurry to lose your temper. You have a good temper, child, and I donât have to worry. Itâs just that Zhenbai, that rascal, is stubborn. Granddaughter-in-law, donât worry. If Zhenbai gets angry at you in the future, just tell me. Iâll teach him a lesson for you!â
It had to be said that Zhenbai, this grandson, had already become a knot in the old manâs heart. This child had been too ruthless toward his fourth uncle, but after Grandpa Qiâs wrath passed, he calmed down a lot. Zhenbai couldnât be blamed for all this; the person at fault was his fourth uncle, who had been too greedy and crossed Zhenbaiâs bottom line.
It was just that while Grandpa Qi could let what happened to his fourth son go, it wasnât the same with his fourth sonâs family.
But in the end, he was the one who had brought up Zhenbai, and their relationship was no less inferior to, or was even deeper than, his relationship with his own sons. After that, he talked to Celestial Master Zhang about Zhenbaiâs condition, and was always worried about him.
It was also because of this that although he couldnât immediately let go of what happened to his fourth sonâs family, he couldnât help but worry about his grandson, whether it was his character, his methods, or his health.
The elderly believed in karma, and he was no different. What he was worried about now was that Zhenbai, this child, had committed too many sins, and would be alone and suffer retribution in the future, and wouldnât have a good ending.
Grandpa Qi had been dreaming a lot recently, either of Zhenbai dying young or being alone for the rest of his life.
The old manâs heart had long softened. Coupled with Father and Mother Qiâs current attitude toward Zhenbai, the old man couldnât help but dote on his grandson again, and didnât even think about his fourth sonâs family anymore.
It wasnât like he hadnât been anxious for the two of them to register their marriage in the past. However, he had felt that Shuyan was too young, and he could still afford to wait. Now, however, he couldnât help but want the two children to quickly register their marriage. He was afraid that Zhenbai, this grandson, would be alone for the rest of his life!
Sure enough!
Children and grandchildren were the debts of their parents and those who came before them.
Grandpa Qi couldnât help but suddenly bring up marriage. Since the two of them hadnât quarreled or broken up, were they planning to register their marriage?
Chi Shuyan was so stunned by the old manâs sudden question about marriage that she almost didnât react. Putting aside the fact that they had broken up for a while, even if they hadnât, suddenly asking her to make a decision about registering marriage with Qi Zhenbai was something she still had to digest. In the end, she could only grit her teeth and squeeze out, âGrandpa, Iâm not old enough to register for marriage yet!â
Grandpa Qi also seemed to sense that he had brought up registering marriage too abruptly, but to his surprise, Shuyan didnât refuse. Grandpa Qi was amused at first, then remembered that Shuyan probably didnât know about the Qi family and Zhenbai yet. He didnât know if this child would leave Zhenbai after finding out that Zhenbai had thoroughly destroyed his fourth uncleâs family!
The old man couldnât wait for the two of them to register their marriage immediately. In the future, if Zhenbai really suffered retribution, he would still have someone to accompany him. However, it would be too bad to drag Shuyan into this matter without her knowing anything. Now, even Zhenbaiâs parents were afraid of this ruthless son, let alone anyone else.
The old manâs heart wavered, and he didnât make a decision for a long time.
It wasnât until a deep and familiar voice suddenly rang out that Chi Shuyan looked up and saw a tall man standing at the door of the ward. Who else could it be, but Qi Zhenbai? He said, âGrandpa, I still have something to say to my wife. Iâll bring her to see you next time!â With that, he stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, and they left the ward.
