Just because she said something wrong, Mother Qi was resisted and disliked by Qi Xiaoqi. No matter how she tried to amuse him, he simply wouldn't show her any affection.
This left Mother Qi feeling very defeated and angry. She was more convinced that Mother Cheng and Cheng Su had taught Xiaoqi to reflect poorly on her, not knowing how many bad things they might have said behind her back. It strengthened her resolve to personally take care of Xiaoqi.
If this continues, she'll have nowhere to stand as his grandmother. It's clearly her grandson, yet he seems more like a Cheng.
After seeing off Qi Fenglian's family, Mother Cheng and Cheng Su began cleaning and washing dishes in the kitchen, whispering to each other.
"...About what I said before, regarding why you don't celebrate the festival at your place - do you understand now?" Mother Cheng pursed her lips and said, "Your mother-in-law thinks the same. Even if it was said unintentionally, who knows if she's dissatisfied."
