Mother Qi was finally brought back home after that illness, as Qi Jianguo and the others all begged Father Qi, saying it was too unsafe for a sick person to live alone in the old house.
And since Cheng Su had also made a phone call earlier, Father Qi stepped down gracefully and allowed Mother Qi to move back home.
The illness came on suddenly and fiercely; after two days of fever-reducing IVs, Mother Qi had become a shadow of her former self, extremely weak.
But being at home, Mother Qi felt her heart finally settle, even though she suffered a bit, at least she didn't have to live alone in the old house anymore.
Once she stabilized, she started to blame Cheng Su; it was all her fault she suffered so much. Her eldest son had made a terrible mistake marrying her—such a daughter-in-law was no good at all. If only it was that doctor...
Mother Qi thought, and her heart skipped a beat.
No, no, that wouldn't do, Taiguo was already married, not single!
