Cheng Su really hadn't guessed wrong; Mother Qi was indeed already on her way.
When Mother Qi received the phone call from Qi Fenglian, hearing that the grandson she had been longing for day and night was gone, she was stunned as if struck by lightning.
She returned home in a daze. Father Qi was fixing a plough, and seeing her flustered look, as if she were soulless, he asked, "What happened?"
Mother Qi sat down on the courtyard bench with a thud and muttered, "Something big has happened, something very big!"
"What has happened?" Father Qi paused in his work and looked at her intently, standing up.
Mother Qi looked at him blankly and said, "It's Lianlian..."
"What happened to Fenglian?" Father Qi asked anxiously, "Did she argue with the Jisheng officials?"
Mother Qi shook her head and suddenly cried out with a slap on her thigh, "It's not Lianlian, it's the daughter-in-law. Our grandson is gone. Oh my, what a sin!"
Gone? Gone how?
