It’s rare for Mother Qi to visit Qing City, so naturally, she won’t forget to visit her paralyzed elder sister.
For poor families, staying in the hospital long-term isn’t very practical, so unless it’s something very serious, the aunt has been brought back home, and the one taking care of her is Liu Wenjing.
Cheng Su has to attend classes and deal with work, so she didn’t go along to visit. When she got home, she heard her mother-in-law complaining incessantly.
"That house is so dark, and there’s a smell in the room. How could anyone get better in that?"
"Lying in bed all day, eating, drinking, and everything else happening there, barely seeing any sunlight. She’s so thin, almost just skin and bones, poor thing."
Cheng Su watched her wipe her tears silently.
"And that daughter-in-law of hers too, she should at least spend more time with her. Who knows how many days are left for her? Lying there all alone, not even letting the grandson come in, afraid of catching something, it’s so sinful!" Mother Qi continued to curse.
Cheng Su frowned.
Before she could speak, Father Qi spoke first, saying, "How can Weixia’s wife accompany her all the time? Weixia has to work, she has to take care of two children, manage the household, cook meals, do the laundry—the entire burden of the home falls on her. It’s good enough if she can catch a breath. Besides, after lying there for so long without developing bedsores, she’s already responsible enough. Is she supposed to sit by the bed all day, just staring at her?"
Cheng Su almost applauded her father-in-law; a person who understands and sees things clearly is indeed different.
Mother Qi was somewhat embarrassed to be reprimanded in front of her in-law’s daughter-in-law. She said, "But there’s still no reason not to let the grandson see her."
"What if the young child gets scared? Your elder sister can only make some sounds." Father Qi continued, "Moreover, didn’t they still see each other at the door?"
