Chapter 797: Chapter 797: Elder Sister’s Narration (Reissued missed Chapter, the real Chapter 797, subscribe with caution)

Qi Fenglian returned to work at the shop two days after her third uncle’s visit, but she looked haggard, with especially dark circles under her eyes, and an indefinable irritation furrowed her brow.

Cheng Su frowned as she looked at her, thinking Elder Sister’s current state wasn’t far from that of a resentful wife.

After introducing her to Shi Ling and her daughter, Qi Fenglian sized up the woman. When she respectfully addressed her as Sister Lian, a smile graced her face, and she said, "Now that you’re here, work hard!"

Shi Ling nodded and agreed.

Only then did Qi Fenglian sit down, her face showing utter exhaustion.

"Elder Sister, you just got back; you could have rested at home for a day before coming over. There’s no rush at this moment, I’m here at the shop anyway," Cheng Su said, pouring her a glass of water.

Qi Fenglian offered a forced smile, "How could I do that? I’ve already delayed your work for so many days, and you have exams coming up. I can’t be the reason you’re held back! Who knows, maybe you’ll be the first college graduate from our Qi family."

Cheng Su pressed her lips together in a light smile and asked, "How is Xiao Bao doing?"

Qi Fenglian rubbed her eyes and said, "His fever has gone down, but being so young and not well-nourished, his immune system is pretty weak. You should see him; he’s become so thin... it’s like he’s lost a human shape..."

At home, she pleaded nicely with her mother-in-law, entreating her to take better care of Baobao, her voice breaking with emotion. Her mother-in-law merely retorted with, "It’s my own grandson, wouldn’t I cherish him? If you can do better, then take care of him yourself; don’t ask me to," and with that, she blocked any further discussion.

If the child weren’t so young, she would have been unable to bear it any longer and would have brought him over, enrolled him in a nursery school, and they could have been together as a family.

But how could she manage her job with such a young child?

Qi Fenglian held back over and over again, telling them how hard it was to have her son, how the illness had caused him to lose all the weight they had managed to put on him, and that they should let him eat well. She sent all of Jisheng’s salary back, urging them not to skimp.
