Cheng Su and Qi Taiguo returned home and tidied up, then both started missing their son again, so they turned towards the Cheng family, only to be told that Old Master Cheng was ill.
Cheng Suxin was shocked. The old man was in his seventies, so this illness was no small matter. She asked Sister-in-law Cheng what caused this sudden illness while following her to the old man's bedroom.
At this moment, Old Master Cheng was lying on a large bed, the quilt pulled up to his chest, eyes closed. Beside him, an IV bottle hung from a stand, his face appearing withered.
Upon hearing the noise, Old Master Cheng opened his eyes. Seeing Cheng Su and her husband, he smiled: "Why are you two here?"
Cheng Su walked over and sat down, saying, "If we hadn't come, how would we know you were ill? Did you sneak a drink again?"
She held his other hand. The skin on an elderly person's hand is much wrinkled, feeling layered with folds, evoking a certain sadness.
