Chapter 411: Nothing Is More Important To Me Than You

The old man looked at the large group of people outside the car window and nodded in satisfaction. He said to Qi Yihan and Tang Li, “Our Qi family can stand the test of time and not fail because we have a lot of family members. That’s why it’s important to start a family.”

Tang Li pretended not to understand and turned to look at Qi Yihan.

Qi Yihan quietly held her hand, opened the car door, and got out first.

After the two of them got out of the car, Qi Yihan helped the old man down.

Everyone quickly greeted him.

The old man nodded at everyone and said, “Everyone, help Li get ready for the wedding. The Qi family’s wedding banquet must be grand.”

“Yes.”

The old man called a few people of his generation in to talk, but the others did not dare to go in.

Other than the elders, he also called his four sons and Tang Li.

After the group of people walked in, the others looked at each other and dispersed.

Tan Wenjing, who was walking with Qi Hao to First Master’s house, asked worriedly, “Qi Hao, I haven’t had the time to greet Grandpa. Is this all right?”

“Don’t worry, Grandpa will probably call us over alone. He’s talking to the elders now and doesn’t have time to care about us.”

Tan Wenjing was relieved. “I’m just afraid that Grandpa will think that I don’t have etiquette.”

When she saw the old man, she felt inexplicably afraid.

…

The group of people followed the old man to the living room. After the servants served the tea, the old man told them what he had learned on the sickbed.

“People understand the value not when they are alive and kicking, but when they are sick. It’s all thanks to Li that I can continue to sit here and talk to you guys today.”

The other elders quickly said that he was blessed to live long.

The old man shook his head. “I don’t believe I am blessed. Life and death are fated. However, if our children and grandchildren are capable, they can save us when we are about to die. Therefore, if our Qi family wants to prosper, we have to nurture generations of capable people.”

“First Brother is right. Everything will be easier when the children are capable.”

“Yes.” The old man asked, “Tell me, how many more new members did we have during the time I was sick?”

The elders started counting with him.

The old man listened attentively and nodded from time to time.

Then, he said to them, “Take good care of these newborns. When they’re older, train them well.”

The elders were obviously a little excited and quickly nodded.

While the old man was talking to the elders, Tang Li and the four masters did not speak.

After the old man was done talking to the elders, he said to them, “You guys can leave first.”

The elders immediately stood up and left.

After they left, the old man first glanced at the four masters. After taking a sip of tea, he said, “You heard it too. The other branches all had newborns, but we had none.”

The four brothers did not speak. They knew that the old man was questioning them.

The old man turned his gaze to Tang Li.

Tang Li said directly, “Father, I’ve said it before. It’s all up to fate. There are some things that you can’t rush.”

The old man frowned when he heard that. In the end, he didn’t say anything. Instead, he said to First Master, Second Master, and Third Master, “Your sons are not young anymore. If you need to arrange for them to get married, then do so.”

First Master, on the other hand, said proudly, “Father, don’t worry. Qi Ming told me that he is going to have a second child with Xinya. Qi Hao is about to get married, so he will definitely consider having a child immediately after he gets married.”

The old man was quite satisfied with his grandsons.

He then turned his gaze to Second Brother and Third Brother.

Third Master quickly said, “Zeyu is still studying. He won’t think about marriage until he graduates from university. There’s nothing I can do about it.”

In the end, it was Second Master’s turn to answer.

Second Master said, “Father, I was just about to talk to Fourth Sister-in-law about this. Tiancheng and Yaolong are also at the age of marriage. Fourth Sister-in-law is in charge of the Qi family. I want her to hold two banquets for my sons so that they can choose a upper-class lady of their choice.”

After saying that, he immediately looked at Tang Li.

Tang Li said, “A lot of guests will arrive these few days along with their family. When the time comes, there will definitely be many young unmarried ladies. Second Brother, you can ask your sons to entertain them. If they fall in love with someone, and the girl feels the same. I’ll get Butler Yang to prepare the wedding.”

Second Master nodded. “I’ll tell Tiancheng and Yaolong about this.”

He always wanted his two sons to start a family as soon as possible. Now, it seemed like Fourth Brother and Tang Li would not be able to give birth anytime soon. It was also possible that Tang Li would not be able to give birth at all. He definitely had to make his sons work harder. When the time came, the children they gave birth to might be capable and eventually become the head of the Qi family.

The old man was very satisfied with their attitude. After listening to them, he said that he was tired.

Just as they were about to leave, the old man said to First Master, “Get Hao and Tan Wenjing to come over after lunch.”

First Master quickly replied, “Yes, Father.”

First Master and Second Master left first.

Third Master followed Qi Yihan and Tang Li. The three of them walked for a while before Third Master said, “The old man must have been influenced by the other old men living on Peace Street. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let the young ones have children the moment he returned.”

Tang Li and Qi Yihan did not reply.

Third Master continued, “Actually, what the old man wants the most is for Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law to have a child. Fourth Brother, Fourth Sister-in-law, you have to work hard.”

The corners of Tang Li’s lips twitched. She and Qi Yihan had already worked hard enough.

At that moment, Qi Yihan held Tang Li’s hand and said, “Li and I are not in a hurry to have a child. Let nature take its course.”

Third Master opened his mouth, wanting to say something. In the end, he nodded and left.

Tang Li and Qi Yihan held hands as they walked back to their house. Qi Yihan said, “There is no hurry. If you’re pregnant, we’ll take it. If not, there is nothing we can do.”

Tang Li tilted her head to look at his serious expression. The corners of her lips curled up as she deliberately asked, “What if I can’t give birth?”

Qi Yihan held her hand tightly. “It’s fine if you can’t. At most, I’ll give up my position as the head of the family and leave here with you.”

These words amused Tang Li. She nodded. “Remember what you said.”

Qi Yihan smiled as well. “In my heart, nothing is more important than you, not even the head of the Qi family.”
