Time Travel: Remarrying a Little Wolf Dog

After saying goodbye to Qian Ru that day, Su Yan met He Qi again on the way home.

He was drinking in a roadside pub and was not quite conscious.

He was yelling and talking drunkenly, and then for some unknown reason he started fighting with a few other drunken men.

The fight didn't stop until Grandpa He Qi and Grandma He Qi arrived to stop it.

Su Yan saw him several times later. At first, Su Yan thought it was just bad luck because she would meet him at the pub every time she went out.

Later, when I was chatting with my fellow tribesmen, I found out that it was He Qi who went out to get drunk every day.

And that pub was the only one on West Street.

"I heard that he always fights with others when he's drunk. He doesn't listen to his parents' advice and is drunk every day."

"I think if they continue like this, they won't even be able to keep the old house. Alas, have you noticed that the Seventh Old Lady and the Old Man haven't come out lately?"

"Yes, yes. I'm wearing linen clothes and I'm too embarrassed to go out to see people. It seems that my family is really out of money."

"He Hui is such a spendthrift, and now He Jiu is addicted to alcohol. No amount of family wealth will be enough to squander it."

"Have you heard that He Ying is not having a good time in her husband's family? I heard that after her husband married a concubine, he asked her to do all the socializing. When she occasionally comes out, she serves her mother-in-law like a nanny."

"Really, really, I really saw it last time. I heard that his son was taken away by his mother-in-law and was to be given to his concubine to raise."

"Oh, it's pitiful, but it's their own fault. We must teach our children well in the future..."

"Yeah, it's too tragic. My kid skipped classes two days ago, and his dad wanted to beat him up, but I stopped him. No, I have to go back and tell his dad to give him back the beating! We don't have that much wealth for him to ruin."

"Educating children is one thing, but we also need to find a good wife for them." Someone squinted his eyes and whispered, "I think it's because the Seventh Old Master married the Seventh Old Lady. The Seventh Old Lady's temper..."

She gave everyone the look you all know.

"So his family actually started to go downhill since the seventh old master, but he was lucky enough to marry Zhao Wan and Qian Ru, otherwise his family would have been ruined long ago."

"It can be seen that an unvirtuous wife will bring disaster to three generations."

The others thought about it carefully and actually felt that what this person said made sense.

After these people left, Grandpa He Qi came out from the alley behind them in a daze.

He was still holding the hangover medicine he bought for his son, and his eyes were dull and unfocused.

"What are you doing standing here, old man?"

Grandma He Qi's voice came from the front, with her usual momentum. She walked a few steps to Grandpa He Qi and snatched the medicine from his hand.

He also scolded, "You spent so much time buying medicine. Why am I left alone to do the housework? You are just lazy!"

Grandpa He Qi looked at her back as she walked forward angrily, and suddenly remembered what his mother had said to him when she was still alive.

"Your wife has a bad temper. If you don't stand up and suppress her, she will sooner or later make you lose everything."

Those words, which I didn't take seriously at the time, seem to hit the mark right at my heart after so many years.

He was so shocked by these words that he almost couldn't stand, and his heart was beating uncontrollably.

The air around him seemed to be sucked out in an instant. He felt like he couldn't breathe at all, and his vision went dark.

Grandma He Qi in front was still mumbling in dissatisfaction, "They all have no conscience. That bastard is so cruel that he hurt his own brother and didn't care about his own father..."

"I knew he was an ungrateful person a long time ago. When he asked my son to let him join the family tree, I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and let him..."

He could no longer hear what Grandma He Qi said afterwards. For no reason, the scene of one-year-old He Chen being brought by Qian Ru to them several times to beg them to include He Chen in the family tree flashed before his eyes.

According to clan rules, it is usually the father who brings his son to apply to be included in the family tree.

When Qian Ru handed in the letter for the first time, Grandma He Qi directly bypassed them and said that Qian Ru was disrespectful, and rejected the letter without even thinking about asking someone to reply.

Later, Qian Ru had no choice but to bring the child to the house in person. Her son wanted to register the child with him.

But every time he was stopped by his wife, who said that she just wanted to temper Qian Ru's temper.

When asked how this problem was finally solved, Grandpa He Qi's mind went blank and he couldn't remember what happened at that time.

It was not until he got home that he suddenly remembered that Qian Ru had later paid a considerable sum of money to the clan and was included in the family tree without their permission.

Grandpa He Qi dragged his feet to the front hall. It was a very desolate place, with stains all over the floor that no one had cleaned for a long time.

He Qi didn't know when he bought the wine, but he was sitting on the floor in the hall drinking it. There was an empty jar next to him.

"Why did you drink again?"

Grandpa He Qi heard Grandma He Qi's exclamation, watched her walk over, and with a look of heartache, he helped his son up and put him on the chair.

Although he said "stop drinking", he put the jar of wine next to his son.

He heard Grandma He Qi say to him, "There's no money at home. What do you think about what I told you last time? He Chen is our grandson, so it's only right that we ask him for some support."

"He is a scholar now, and his reputation is important. I dare not refuse. Oh, or else ask for our son's support too...Ah! Are you crazy? Hit me..."

Before she could finish her words, Grandpa He Qi threw another punch, hitting Grandma He Qi in the face.

"It's all your fault, it's all your fault! You've ruined our family and we've lost everything, and you're still giving us bad advice... It's all your fault, it's all your fault!"

When he really started to attack, Grandma He Qi had no power to fight back and could only scream in pain as he beat her.

He Jiu picked up the jar of wine beside him, raised his head and took a sip, then looked at the farce over there with indifference.

That day, Grandma He Qi was beaten so badly that her whole body was covered with bruises, and it took her a long time to recover.

And from that day on, Grandpa He Qi would beat her whenever he was unhappy. He Jiu, who lived with them, didn't care about the two of them, and even walked past without changing his expression when he saw his mother being beaten.

Grandma He Qi once tried to resist, but when Grandpa He made up his mind, her resistance was no match for him.

What followed was an even harsher beating.

Unexpectedly, Grandpa He Qi never looked for He Chen again, even when his old house was sold for money.

And every time Grandma He Qi wanted to go, she was stopped by him by being beaten up.

He Jiu still drinks and lives a life of drunkenness every day, and Grandpa He Qi doesn't care.

But the irony is that after Grandpa He Qi really made up his mind to discipline Grandma He Qi for a period of time, Grandma He Qi started to be reasonable.

I no longer do outrageous things, and my relationship with my neighbors has eased a bit.

Grandpa He Qi felt it was ironic to see all this. He smiled desolately, and when he was visiting his mother's grave, he looked at the tombstone in front of him for a long time, unable to come back to his senses.

It was not until dark, when he was about to leave, that Grandpa He Qi said, as if answering his mother's words before she died:

"Mom, I can control her, but it seems like it's too late."

A gust of wind blew, and the leaves fell in front of the tombstone. Grandpa He Qi reached out to pick them up, held them in his hand and looked at them.

"Zhao Wan and Qian Ru are both good women, but our family is not blessed to keep them. But fortunately, we have Chen Ge'er, he is promising and can study, and he will definitely bring honor to our family in the future."

"But the only thing he's worried about is probably us. Don't worry, mother. I'll watch over it. I'll watch over it for him. When I die one day, I'll take my wife with me before I die, so that he won't be implicated."
