Qi Fengping rushed back home and said her mother was sick, asking Father Qi to go over.
"Your mom can get sick?" Father Qi was somewhat incredulous, and with a stern face, he said, "She must be faking it!"
The old lady was usually in good health; she rarely got sick. Given her scheming nature, it was hard to tell whether she was pretending, perhaps just looking for an excuse to return home.
Qi Fengping was in a great hurry and said, "No, Dad, Mom really is sick, her forehead is burning hot!" Of course, she didn't say it was a feigned illness.
Qi Jianguo urgently said, "Dad, please go and have a look. What if the fever damages her brain?"
Father Qi, his face darkened, still stepped out the door.
The three family members arrived at the old house and indeed, Mother Qi's consciousness was blurred, and she had begun to babble incoherently.
She really was sick!
Father Qi furrowed his brows and said, "Jianguo, carry your mom on your back and go to the clinic."
