Cheng Su was quite surprised with her old mother's easygoing nature. When Cheng Su mentioned performing a ritual, it didn't feel odd; people in the countryside were just like that, turning to gods and spirits at the first sign of trouble.
What he didn't tell Cheng Su was that Mother Qi had privately asked him if Cheng Su had spoken ill of her to Xiao Qi. Naturally, he said no, but he still found it odd that the child steadfastly refused to be held by the old mother.
Performing a ritual wasn't a bad idea.
Qi Taiguo looked at his son and said, "If, as Sister-in-law Song said, Xiao Qi saw something dirty, a ritual might help. But if he's rejecting his grandma, it could be troublesome!"
Qi Xiaoqi clutched his little hands, tilting his head as if looking at Qi Taiguo, or maybe somewhere else.
"What kind of trouble?"
