Before Qi Zhenbai could say more, Grandpa Qi called him to the study.
Now that Zhenbai’s wife was pregnant, Grandpa Qi couldn’t wait for the two children to imdiately co back and live here; he couldn’t trust Zhenbai to take care of his wife.
In particular, when he had seen the boy get out of the car, he had been even more dissatisfied. Grandpa Qi didn’t voice any of this out loud, but asked instead, “Your wife is pregnant. What are your plans now?”
Qi Zhenbai had actually still considered being honest, but when he thought about the excitent on the old man’s face just now, he didn’t want to provoke him into being hospitalized. He deliberated for a while, then said, “Grandpa, I accidentally got my wife pregnant, but I don’t plan to make her drop out of school. I think she’s in good health, so we’ll talk about it when her stomach gets bigger. My wife thinks the sa! It isn’t easy to get into Yanjing University, and I can’t bear to hold her back!”
Grandpa Qi said angrily, “You don’t want to hold her back, but you got her pregnant? You can’t control your lower half!”
Grandpa Qi was both happy and conflicted about his daughter-in-law’s pregnancy. Of course, he was happy because he was going to have a great-grandchild. The dilemma was that Zhenbai’s wife was too young and was still studying.
Plus, young people nowadays might not be able to settle down. Grandpa Qi had wanted the two kids to date for a little longer, which would help to stabilize their relationship. What if the relationship turned rocky after the baby was born? What would happen then? Wouldn’t his precious great-grandchild be the most pitiful one?
Grandpa Qi wasn’t an unreasonable person. Seeing his most proud grandson lower his head and admit his mistake, Grandpa Qi’s heart softened. Thinking of his future great-grandchild, Grandpa Qi’s heart started to burn again. All the worry and anger in his heart disappeared at once. He thought for a while, then said, “I won’t interfere with the matter of leaving school, but I really don’t trust you to take care of your wife. In the future, bring your wife back to the old residence!”
Qi Zhenbai said calmly, “Grandpa, the old residence is a little far from my wife’s school. She’s still living in the dormitory!”
It would have been fine if Qi Zhenbai hadn’t said anything. When Grandpa Qi heard the words “living in the dormitory,” the anger in his heart flared again. “Your wife is pregnant now, and you still dare let her stay in the dormitory? What are the conditions like?”
Grandpa Qi rembered that school had just reopened recently, and students had to go through military training as soon as school reopened. His face changed drastically, and the walking stick in his hand almost hit the floor in shock. He hurriedly asked, “Did you apply leave for your wife? Kid, if you dare say that your wife was still attending military training yesterday, do you believe that I won’t hit you with my walking stick?”
Grandpa Qi was so shocked that he almost passed out when Zhenbai didn’t say anything. He didn’t have ti to talk to this boy anymore, and was about to call the Qi family doctor to see Zhenbai’s wife.
Qi Zhenbai quickly said, “Grandpa, my wife is fine. I just brought her to the hospital today. Both she and the child are fine!”
After confirming that everything was fine, Grandpa Qi heaved a sigh of relief. He imdiately slapped the table and said that he would settle the matter of moving his wife out of the dormitory the next day. He would personally go and talk to the school if they wouldn’t release her.
Grandpa Qi could also tell that this kid didn’t intend to bring his wife back to the old residence. He thought about how Zhenbai’s wife hadn’t gotten used to the Qi family yet, and the Qi residence was indeed far from the university. Grandpa Qi also couldn’t bear to see Zhenbai’s wife tire herself out, so he took a step back and said, “Let’s do this first before you move back to the old residence: Have your wife stay at your place. But there’s one thing: In the future, you have to rember that your wife isn’t alone. Take care of her more and bring her back to the old residence every weekend.”
