Qi Fengping hummed a tune as she returned home, only to see Mother Qi wiping away tears. She couldn't help asking, "Mom, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Mother Qi lifted her clothes and said, "Your elder brother is too harsh, he's not human. I told him I was sick, and he was still cold-hearted and indifferent."
"You called elder brother?" Qi Fengping frowned and said, "Didn't Dad tell us not to tell elder brother?"
"Your dad just sides with outsiders. Just because he said not to call, should we listen? He's not the Jade Emperor. His words aren't imperial edicts," Mother Qi snapped coldly.
"All right, all right, you're right," said Qi Fengping with a nonchalant shrug of her hands.
"Look at what you're saying, right or wrong, did I say something incorrect?" Mother Qi shot her another glance and said, "And you, you little wretch, I haven't settled the score with you yet!"
Feeling somewhat guilty, Qi Fengping said, "Settle what score? Ah, haha, did you cook dinner?"
