With Aunt's interruption, the atmosphere in the main hall wasn't as pleasant. Father Qi felt a bit embarrassed and annoyed. The guests were the in-laws, and the things his aunt said were harsh to the ears; naturally, he felt ashamed.
"In-law, don't mind her. Ever since something happened at her place, and after she had a stroke, she's been a bit unclear in her actions. Please don't take it to heart!" Father Qi said.
Father Cheng laughed heartily, "It's all right, it's all right, we're family, it's nothing." After a pause, he added, "But this drink today has quite a kick. It's getting to my head; I should head home and lie down for a while. Age is catching up, can't help it!"
"Leaving already? Stay for dinner; there's plenty of food left. Let's have another drink or two," Father Qi suggested.
"No, we'll go. We live close; we can drink and chat anytime. I can come over, or you can visit me," Father Cheng said. "You should also take a rest."
