Chapter 22: Sickness
Early in the morning, Qi Wanran was woken up by the ringing of the phone, and the hurried voice was like urging life.
Unless it's the news of the interview, I will never accept it! She also has a sense of getting up.
“……”
After picking up the phone, Qi Wanran found out that it was her adoptive mother.
She sighed softly, "Mom." ”
"You unfilial little, the old lady is dying of illness, and you don't know how to come back and take a look. Pan Pan, who is across the street, knows how to send two fruit baskets, you are good, you haven't mentioned any nutritional products, not to mention, not even a phone call! ”
"I see that you are just looking forward to the death of the old lady all day long, so you can get rid of us and follow other wild men to fly away!"
On the other end of the phone was the usual unreasonable scolding.
In the years since she was adopted, she has been able to listen to more ugly words than this.
Qi Wanran was already accustomed to it, and this time was no exception.
It's just that what she didn't expect was that her adoptive mother was actually sick.
After running out of the house that day, she really didn't call back. Although their previous attitude was indeed a bit bad, it was better to be born than to be nurtured, and Qi Wanran thought that she couldn't do anything and didn't care about it.
"What did the doctor say?"
Qi Wanran turned on the phone amplification, and changed his clothes while asking.
"Let you prepare for me!" Qi Mu sneered.
Qi Wanran furrowed his brows, his face uneasy.
The other party is always like this, refusing to say a word to her.
She didn't want to listen to her adoptive mother's meaningless scolding anymore, so she asked for the address and hung up the phone.
The weather outside the window was as gloomy as her mood, like an unwashed rag.
The phone rang for a long time, and I didn't say what was going on. Listening to that voice, it was full of energy, and it wouldn't be a serious illness if I didn't think it was.
Mother Qi, like Aunt Wang downstairs, likes to put a little thing infinitely big, in order to feel how miserable her life is.
Most of the unhappiness comes from her adopted daughter.
Thinking about this, Qi Wanran's mood was even lower, as if he had been weighed down.
After washing, Qi Wanran didn't even eat breakfast, and drove to his adoptive father's house.
She stopped by and bought some expensive but useless health supplements.
Don't they just want this kind of thing that can hold up the scene, and it will be a lot less troublesome if they want it.
The adoptive father's and mother's family lived in the south of the city, surrounded by high-rise buildings, and the old neighborhood had not been demolished, as if it had been forgotten, and the gray walls were still in the style of the last century, the same color as the mud.
Qi Wanran walked into the community, and some old and trivial things came to her mind from time to time.
Qi Wanran exhaled lightly, rubbed his face vigorously, and calmed down, before walking quickly towards his adoptive mother's house.
There was a crack in the door of the house, and the strong smell of Chinese medicine came out of it, overflowing the entire corridor.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back." Qi Wanran opened the door and went in sideways.
"Yo, what a rarity. Which gust of wind is blowing you? ”
Qi's mother sat on the bed, nibbling on an apple in her mouth, her face was ruddy, and she didn't look seriously ill at all.
Qi Wanran put the health care products on the bedside table, and she specially packaged the side with the price sticker on it to face Qi's mother. In a sense, Qi's mother thinks that her adopted daughter is willing to spend money for herself, which is a kind of "filial piety".
Money became the yardstick.
"You didn't call me here?"
I don't know how this sentence hit Qi Mu's thunder point again, and it exploded in an instant-
"If I don't ask you to come back, you won't come back, will you? Oh, I can see clearly, for so many years, I just raised a white-eyed wolf! I knew that such a result would fall, and I might as well go and pick up a dog on the side of the road. I threw a bone at the dog, and it knows how to wag its tail at me, what about you? This unfilial thing! Qi Mu shouted loudly.
Simmons' mattress was slapped by her.
The corners of Qi Wanran's mouth pursed into a straight line.
She knows her adoptive mother too well, as long as anyone disobeys her wishes, then she must scold enough, and she can't wait to scold her ancestors for eighteen generations, and her saliva will not stop if she doesn't dry up.
Qi Wanran would always endure it before, but I don't know what happened today, when she heard these words again, she only felt bored, and a strong idea of wanting to get rid of this state surfaced in Qi Wanran's mind.
"What is wrong with you?" Qi Wanran furrowed his brows and interrupted the other party's chatter.
"Cancer! Advanced! There are only a few days left to live! Are you satisfied? ”
Qi Mu looked at her with a look in her eyes that seemed to be quenched with poison, and she wished that Qi Wanran would die in front of her on the spot.
Qi Wanran felt that she didn't need to ask any more, anyway, she wouldn't tell the truth, so be as good as her love.
Her eyes were half-closed, and the hand hanging at her side slowly clenched into a fist.
After a moment, Qi Wanran spoke softly-
"I never expected you to be upset."
"You told me to get out of the house, saying that I didn't have this daughter. I admit it. Today you called me back again, and I came back. You said you wanted health supplements, and I bought them. ”
"I genuinely care about your condition, but what about you? I've never had a good word for me, what was wrong with me? ”
The tone was not at all eager, even soft, but the weight of each sentence was not light.
Qi Wanran couldn't understand why Qi Mu was so disgusted with herself.
Sometimes she even thinks, if she doesn't like me, why did she adopt me in the first place?
But the grace of nurturing is greater than heaven, and she always comforts herself like this.
Either way, the family pulled themselves up.
She doesn't have the luxury of how rich she can live a material life, she only needs the most basic respect, isn't that okay?
"Don't you think that's unreasonable?" Qi Wanran said.
"It's the other way around, it's the other way around!" Qi Mu trembled with anger.
Qi Wanran had no doubt that if her adoptive mother had a sword in her hand at this time, she would definitely copy it.
Qi's father, who was boiling Chinese medicine in the kitchen, heard the movement in the bedroom and hurriedly ran over to save the scene.
He hurriedly pulled Qi Wanran aside, first comforted Qi's mother a few words, and then looked at his adopted daughter with disapproving eyes.
"Ranran, your mother is sick, how can you make her angry?"
"It's also for your own good, girls always have to be polite, and they still have to take what they should be in their temper, otherwise their in-laws won't like it."
Qi Wanran's fingertips trembled, she closed her eyes, fixed her mind, and spit out a sentence without being salty: "It's me who married, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
"Listen! Qi Jianguo, this is your good daughter! ”
The sharp voice of Qi Mu's face almost pierced people's eardrums.
"Yes!" Even though Father Qi was a good man, he couldn't help but scold him when he heard this.
What he fears most is that this family is unstable.
Qi Wanran stiffened his neck and didn't speak, with a right expression.
Mother Qi was so angry that her forehead jumped, and she immediately got up and was about to slap this unfilial daughter.
