Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 755: Chapter 755: Trying to Send Her Son Back to the Countryside

Vice Factory Director Huo Jingrui knew a bit about the situation with the Qi Family.

Qi Guoqing came from a village under Zeyang County. Later, because he married his master’s daughter, his career soared, and last year he became the deputy director of a workshop at the city machinery factory.

This made Granny Qi restless; she insisted on going to the city to live with her eldest son.

Out of filial duty, Qi Guoqing and his wife agreed, thinking it might be helpful for taking care of the kids at home.

But they didn’t expect that Granny Qi, who came to the city from the countryside, felt that her son, as a workshop deputy director, was a top-tier official. She often boasted in the residential compound, telling people her son could fire them, and the like.

In less than a year, she managed to offend half of the residential compound single-handedly. Qi Guoqing and his wife were either apologizing to people or on their way to apologize, they had practically become the laughing stock of the machinery factory.

This incident even caused his in-laws to turn cold towards him, as they pitied their precious daughter who grew up under their nurture, almost to the point of despising his unruly mother.

Qi Guoqing considered sending his mother back to the countryside, but whenever he brought it up Granny Qi would immediately accuse him of being unfilial. She wouldn’t rest until she cried and sang, leaving him no choice but to capitulate and plead.

More than a month ago, Granny Qi caused a major incident in the residential compound, hitting a hard wall directly.

If it weren’t for Qi Guoqing’s wife, who, sensing the impending trouble, risked her safety and acted quickly, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

In the end, the other family decided not to pursue the matter only because Qi Guoqing’s wife injured her leg while saving them.

Feeling too embarrassed to stay at the machinery factory, Qi Guoqing had no choice but to apply for a transfer back to Zeyang County Machinery Factory. His in-laws used their connections to secure him a workshop director position at the county machinery factory, just to save face.

Between a city machinery factory’s workshop deputy director and a county machinery factory’s workshop director, anyone would know which to choose, but Qi Guoqing had no choice.

Staring at his mother’s guilty expression, Qi Guoqing was fuming: ”Mom, what did you promise me before? Do you want to force your son to go back to the village to farm to feel at ease?”

Before coming back, his mother had repeatedly assured him she wouldn’t cause trouble again. But upon arriving at the residential compound she had a conflict with Section Chief Li’s newly moved family next door. Fortunately, Section Chief Li didn’t hold it against them. Now she’s targeting the Huo Vice Factory Director’s family. Is she trying to send her son back to the countryside?

Granny Qi, realizing her son was angry, waved her hand quickly: ”No, no, I just thought neighbors should socialize more. Over time, after becoming familiar, Vice Factory Director Huo might support you more.”

Qi Guoqing was beside himself with anger at his mother. What kind of socializing is swapping your yellow millet cornbread for someone else’s meat? Where’s the shame: ”Mom, why didn’t my wife return with us? It’s not just because my in-laws mentioned that a hundred days are needed for proper recovery from an injury. They want her to heal well. But more importantly, they don’t want her following me around, bowing and apologizing to everyone. Mom, just pity your son, will you?”

Granny Qi was panicking inside, feeling that her eldest son’s gaze towards her had lost affection: ”Son, Guoqing, Mom was wrong. Mom will definitely be careful in the future.”

Qi Guoqing didn’t believe his mother at all: ”Once my wife’s leg has healed, you’ll go back to the countryside.”

Seeing Granny Qi about to start the crying and leg-patting routine, Qi Guoqing quickly interjected: ”Of course, if you don’t care about your son’s future, if you want us to end up rolling back to the countryside with you someday, feel free to ignore what I said.”
