Qi Taiguo and Cheng Su were in the disaster area, and in order not to let their family worry about not being able to find them, Cheng Su still made a phone call to Elder Sister, saying they were out and would not return for a few days, but she did not mention that they were in the earthquake-stricken area.
Qi Fenglian didn’t overthink it. Hearing that the couple was together and that Cheng Su had even called, she couldn’t help but be overjoyed, intuitively feeling they had reconciled. She happily told them to enjoy themselves and relax a bit.
Enjoy?
Cheng Su showed a bitter smile. They were certainly not out enjoying themselves, but she didn’t explain, not wanting to cause her worry. She just moved on to call her own family back home.
Just as she was about to hang up, Qi Fenglian called her again, hesitating to complete her sentence.
"That is, Su, Mom knows she was too anxious, and she knows she was wrong. She’s currently staying in the old house, which hasn’t been lived in for years. I don’t even know if it would collapse. You see..." Qi Fenglian hesitated with her words.
Cheng Su was silent for a moment, then said, "I understand." And then she hung up the phone.
She was quiet, lost in thought. When she returned to the tent, Qi Taiguo was gnawing on some bread and a packet of dry noodles. Seeing her come back, he asked, "Did you call Elder Sister?"
Cheng Su nodded and sat down.
"What’s wrong? What did Elder Sister say?" Qi Taiguo asked, noticing her complexion wasn’t too good.
"Nothing much, she just mentioned Mother-in-law is still living in the old house," Cheng Su replied.
Qi Taiguo’s bread-eating motion paused, he swallowed it down, took a sip of water, and said, "Don’t worry about that. Mom needs to be dealt with, Dad will handle it appropriately. Don’t intervene!"
Cheng Su pursed her lips.
Qi Taiguo grabbed her hand and said, "I’ve told you before, you can go back if you want to, and if you don’t want to, then don’t. Don’t think too much about it. As for Mom, you shouldn’t bother."
"Okay!" Cheng Su smiled faintly and inwardly sighed.
Mother Qi had no idea that her eldest son had once again blocked her path. She spent each day hopefully looking at the old house’s doorway to see if anyone would come to fetch her, but after several days, there was still no sign of Father Qi and the others.
