Qi Fenglian returned to her parent's home, a child in tow and fury churning in her belly.
As always, Father Qi was busy weaving bamboo baskets, while Mother Qi was washing clothes by the well in the courtyard. They both seemed surprised to see Qi Fenglian arrive.
"Fenglian, why have you come back?" Mother Qi stood up and dried her soaking hands on her apron, asking without a second thought, "That Thai daughter-in-law doesn't need you to work for her anymore?"
Father Qi gave her a warning look.
Mother Qi looked sheepish.
Qi Fenglian was defeated by her mother's words and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? Xiao Bao has had a high fever for the past few days, and I rushed back because of that!"
"He's got a fever?" The elders quickly turned to look at the child she was carrying on her back.
"Oh my dear grandchild, what's happened to you, how did you get so skinny?" Mother Qi exclaimed loudly.
Father Qi glanced over and frowned as well.
