Lady Zhang must have repeated this countless times, and the family's grandparents also constantly complained, complaining that they didn't know how to flock to where benefits lay. Qi Congming knew this well and had explained that he wasn't unwilling to join in the fun, but rather that he couldn't break into that circle with his younger brother following him.

When I tried to take some myself, he scolded me and wouldn't include me in his games."
