Father Qi and Qi Fenglian rushed to Qing City, were picked up by Qi Taiguo and the others, and went straight to the hospital without even going home.
When they met Mother Qi, both had tears in their eyes. After all, being kidnapped, having a finger cut off, and almost losing one’s life was a terrifying ordeal for people like them who abide by the law. It’s normal to worry and be scared.
Father Qi often spoke harshly, but seeing his wife so weak and aged, he felt both heartache and resentment. It was all for a small gain, almost costing her life. Isn’t this seeking death? Does the family lack money that much? Chasing after that compensation led to such a huge issue.
So, after a bout of tearful complaints and realizing the injury was not fatal and she could be discharged soon, Father Qi couldn’t help but start reprimanding Mother Qi.
"I told you to return to the hometown, but you wouldn’t listen. Look at the mess you’ve made now. You’ve lost a finger, are you satisfied?" Father Qi angrily said, "You believed them when they said they’d compensate you and followed them. This is just kidnapping; if you encountered those truly malicious ones, they might have stabbed you on the spot. Do you think this is a big city? There are plenty of villains here."
Mother Qi, who was already crying sadly, cried even harder and felt even more scared upon hearing his words.
"Dad, let it be. Mom has learned her lesson," Qi Fenglian said, unable to bear it and advised a few words.
"Whether she has learned her lesson, only she knows. This time, it’s a finger; what about next time? Ignorance itself isn’t terrifying. It’s only when you recognize your ignorance that you can understand your shortcomings. Your mother, she..." Father Qi sighed, squatted down, took out his tobacco pouch, then remembered he was in a hospital, and put it back.
Cheng Su went over to help him sit on the chair.
Father Qi patted her hand, thankful for this daughter-in-law, otherwise the Qi family might have been arranging a funeral!
