Chapter 102 (1/2)
Xueer has handed over the scissors. She took the scissors and cut off Mrs. Zhou's trouser legs directly, revealing her shins with swollen skin.
Zhou an moved the fire pot to her mother's calf again, for fear that her mother would be frozen.
Old Mrs. Zhou looked at her cut trousers painfully, thinking that she would mend them well in a moment, but she could still wear them.
Qi Rongyue pinched the other leg of old lady Zhou again. As she expected, the other leg was not swollen.
”Does your waist hurt now?” Qi Rongyue asked.
The old lady nodded quickly. It hurt. It hurt deeply. It's the same every day. I'm almost used to it.
There was a smile on the old lady's thin face. There was helpless bitterness in the smile. She never cried for pain in front of her son. She knew that her son would not feel well. If she cried for pain again, how sad would he feel?
Qi Rongyue held her shoulder and said, ”lie down first, and I'll touch your waist.”
The old lady lay down as she said, but she didn't lie straight. She just lay on her side, slightly arched.
When Qi Rongyue saw this, his eyebrows were slightly frowning. Old lady Zhou's illness seemed more serious than she thought.
It seems that what Zhou an knows is not all. In order to make her son less worried, the old lady didn't tell him the truth.
”Old lady, are you just suffering from low back pain? What about the back? Does your back hurt? ”
The old lady looked at Qi Rongyue in surprise and her son again. No, she never told her son about her backache. How could miss Qi know?
Qi Rongyue said: ”it should not only hurt your back, but also your chest, right?”
