Qi Fangfang was puzzled and saddened for her brother.
"You're all grown up and still crying," Qi Jianguo said, "Alright, in a few days it's grandma's birthday. I happen to have some money on hand, let's buy a chicken to nourish her."
"There's no need, brother," Qi Fangfang said, "We have plenty of grain at home, and life has been pretty good. You should save your money and maybe change to a bigger, drier room."
"No worries, let's get through grandma's birthday first," Qi Jianguo insisted. He felt he had been too unfilial.
Eventually, Qi Fangfang couldn't help it and burst into loud sobs.
"What's wrong? Fangfang?" Qi Jianguo was somewhat flustered, "Did I embarrass you by coming back to the village?"
Qi Fangfang shook her head, "No, brother, that's not it. No matter what, you are still my brother."
"Then why are you crying?" Qi Jianguo asked dryly, "Although my leg isn't good, I still have my skills and can make money."
