1571 Marriage Registration

The next morning, thinking about how Grandpa Qi had been hospitalized, Chi Shuyan went out before 7am – it would have been earlier if she hadn’t been worried about going too early, when Grandpa was still resting. By the time she arrived at Grandpa’s 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, “Zhenbai’s wife, why are you here?” After a pause, he sighed in delight. “It’s good that you’re here! Good child, it’s good that you’re here!”

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 wasn’t just the old man who was pleasantly surprised; Mother Qi and the others were also pleasantly surprised. Apart from that, Mother Qi’s feelings were also a little complicated.

Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Second Aunt Qi couldn’t help but tease, “It’s good that Zhenbai’s wife is here. It’s good that she’s here. Zhenbai hasn’t brought Shuyan back for so long. If I didn’t know better, I would have thought something had happened between the two of them.”

Second Aunt Qi wasn’t talking nonsense, and it wasn’t just her who felt that way. Since Shuyan hadn’t 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 didn’t dare ask. In addition, too many things had happened in the Qi family recently, so at most, everyone just wondered.

They didn’t expect Shuyan to really come and see the old man!

On the other hand, when the Qi family patriarch heard Second Aunt’s words, he hurriedly said, “What 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?”

Chi Shuyan had always been close to the Qi family, especially Grandpa Qi. Seeing that he was still very amiable toward her, she couldn’t help but feel a little guilty when she saw the old man lying on the bed with a pale face.

Looking at the old man’s face, she didn’t 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 Zhenbai’s 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 man’s 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, “It’s really fine, Zhenbai’s wife. Don’t listen to what other people say. How can I not know what my own health is like? Don’t worry, I’m really fine. A few days ago, the doctor said that I can be discharged. If it wasn’t for my eldest son and the others, I would have been discharged long ago.”

The old man was quite annoyed at being hospitalized.

Chi Shuyan smiled at the irritation on the old man’s face. After taking his pulse, she confirmed that he was indeed fine. Although she hadn’t 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 didn’t forget to coax him. “Grandpa, the doctors have their reasons. Stay for a few more days and do a proper checkup so that Uncle and the others don’t have to worry about you!”

“Okay, okay, okay… I’ll listen to my granddaughter-in-law!” 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 couldn’t 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 couldn’t help but feel upset. For a moment, he didn’t 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 hadn’t come to the Qi residence recently. She didn’t even know that something had happened to Zhenbai, and the two of them didn’t interact much. Perhaps something really had happened to the two children?

Although he had confidently said that the two children hadn’t broken up, the old man actually felt a little uncertain now. He also felt very conflicted. If the two children were doing fine, he didn’t want Zhenbai, this grandson, to be too extreme and vicious, and harm Shuyan. If something really had happened between the two of them, he couldn’t help but worry, especially when it came to Zhenbai.

After hesitating for a while, the old man couldn’t help but ask, “Grandaughter-in-law… did something happen between you and Zhenbai recently? Did you have a fight?”

Chi Shuyan took in the old man’s worried gaze and hurriedly replied, “No, Grandpa, we didn’t quarrel. We’re fine!”

Sure enough, the old man’s first reaction was relief. He nodded excitedly. “Okay, okay, okay… That’s good! That’s good!”

After a pause, the old man seemed afraid that Shuyan would dislike Zhenbai, and immediately said sagely, “It’s good that you didn’t have a fight. Even if you did, talk it out nicely. Don’t be in a hurry to lose your temper. You have a good temper, child, and I don’t have to worry. It’s just that Zhenbai, that rascal, is stubborn. Granddaughter-in-law, don’t worry. If Zhenbai gets angry at you in the future, just tell me. I’ll teach him a lesson for you!”

It had to be said that Zhenbai, this grandson, had already become a knot in the old man’s heart. This child had been too ruthless toward his fourth uncle, but after Grandpa Qi’s wrath pa.s.sed, he calmed down a lot. Zhenbai couldn’t be blamed for all this; the person at fault was his fourth uncle, who had been too greedy and crossed Zhenbai’s bottom line.

It was just that while Grandpa Qi could let what happened to his fourth son go, it wasn’t the same with his fourth son’s family.

But in the end, he was the one who had brought up Zhenbai, and their relations.h.i.+p was no less inferior to, or was even deeper than, his relations.h.i.+p with his own sons. After that, he talked to Celestial Master Zhang about Zhenbai’s condition, and was always worried about him.

It was also because of this that although he couldn’t immediately let go of what happened to his fourth son’s family, he couldn’t 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 wouldn’t 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 man’s heart had long softened. Coupled with Father and Mother Qi’s current att.i.tude toward Zhenbai, the old man couldn’t help but dote on his grandson again, and didn’t even think about his fourth son’s family anymore.

It wasn’t like he hadn’t 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 couldn’t 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 couldn’t help but suddenly bring up marriage. Since the two of them hadn’t quarreled or broken up, were they planning to register their marriage?

Chi Shuyan was so stunned by the old man’s sudden question about marriage that she almost didn’t react. Putting aside the fact that they had broken up for a while, even if they hadn’t, 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, “Grandpa, I’m not old enough to register for marriage yet!”

Grandpa Qi also seemed to sense that he had brought up registering marriage too abruptly, but to his surprise, Shuyan didn’t refuse. Grandpa Qi was amused at first, then remembered that Shuyan probably didn’t know about the Qi family and Zhenbai yet. He didn’t know if this child would leave Zhenbai after finding out that Zhenbai had thoroughly destroyed his fourth uncle’s family!

The old man couldn’t 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 Zhenbai’s parents were afraid of this ruthless son, let alone anyone else.

The old man’s heart wavered, and he didn’t make a decision for a long time.

It wasn’t 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, “Grandpa, I still have something to say to my wife. I’ll bring her to see you next time!” With that, he stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, and they left the ward.
