Wei Shufang couldn't help but have an idea in her mind, but seeing that her eldest nephew was as calm as an adult, she gave up the doubt.
Lies will always be exposed one day, especially lies that are extremely easy to verify.
On the other side, Qi Zhiqiang has begun to care about practical issues.
"Yicheng, if you don't go to school, will your grades be affected?"
Li Jie shook his head and said, "Uncle, I can do it. I have finished all the junior high school courses. I just need to review them occasionally. It will not affect my grades."
Qi Zhiqiang pursed his lips and opened his mouth to say something, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.
After all, he is just an uncle. There are some things he can help with, and some things he cannot.
Looking at Qi Zhiqiang's entangled look, Li Jie sighed secretly.
Fate is indeed a fate played by fate.
If Mother Qiao had persisted, she might have been able to be with the one she loved.
In addition, Qi Zhiqiang's future outcome is not good. Qi Weimin fell ill just after he passed the Jinling City College Entrance Examination.
I went to the hospital for a check-up and found out that I had liver cancer, and it was in the advanced stage.
Advanced liver cancer, let alone in this day and age, is still an incurable disease even in the future when medical treatment is more developed.
However, liver lesions did not occur as quickly as expected. Calculating time, Qi Zhiqiang should not have liver cancer yet, at most it would be fibrosis.
Qi Zhiqiang is a standard good man, he doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, and has a good life.
Based on his observations in the past two days and past understanding, Li Jie deeply suspected that Qi Zhiqiang's liver lesions were related to viral hepatitis.
Both hepatitis B and hepatitis C may be the cause. Which one is specific requires you to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination.
Qi Zhiqiang hesitated for a while and then said.
"Yicheng, does your father know about this?"
"He knows."
"Um."
His father agreed, and Qi Zhiqiang felt that he had no right to object.
Immediately, he turned his eyes and asked curiously.
"By the way, Shufang, where is my sister-in-law? Where are you?"
After being married for many years, Wei Shufang knew Qi Zhiqiang too well. If she told Qi Zhiqiang the truth, he would definitely find a way to get Qiao Zuwang.
Therefore, she decided to hide the matter.
"I don't know. I searched around and couldn't find it."
In this era, there were neither BP machines nor mobile phones. There were telephones, but ordinary people were not qualified to install them.
If a person runs outside without leaving anything behind, you really won't be able to contact him in a short time.
After hearing this, Qi Zhiqiang no longer worried about Qiao Zuwang's whereabouts. He was not a child, could he be lost?
"Forget it, let's go alone."
Wei Shufang raised her head and glanced at the sky: "Well, I think it's getting late, why don't we set off?"
"Issei, have you finished eating?"
Li Jie looked back and saw that the three little ones were still eating hard, and compared with before, there was one more person in the army.
Qi Weimin came after breakfast. He was not hungry originally, but he smelled the aroma of food and saw the three little ones eating so deliciously.
So, he joined the army of rice cooks and became a glorious rice cook.
Following Li Jie's gaze, Wei Shufang also saw her son devouring the food. Seeing this scene, her face couldn't help but feel a hint of embarrassment.
"Weimin!"
Qi Weimin, who was immersed in cooking, suddenly heard his mother's cry and quickly turned around.
"Hurry up, we are ready to leave."
Normally, Qi Weimin would have put down his chopsticks immediately without saying anything, but the food on the table was really too tempting.
He looked back at the food on the table, then wiped his mouth, got up and walked outside.
"Second Qiang, you can clean up later. My uncle and I will go out."
Before leaving home, Li Jie gave some final instructions.
"And Sanli, Simei, don't run around, just stay at home, and don't open the door when anyone comes."
"Okay, big brother!"
"Brother, I know, I will keep an eye on Simei."
"Brother, don't worry, Simei will definitely not run around."
After explaining the family affairs, Li Jie and his party set off to the cemetery to pay homage to Mother Qiao.
During the worship process, Wei Shufang burst into tears again. Looking at the photo on the tombstone, she couldn't help but think of the entire Qiao family.
When she thought that the whole family depended on Qiao Zuwang for their livelihood, she couldn't help but feel sorry for the children.
"Shufen, why is your life so miserable..."
At this moment, an urgent cry suddenly sounded from the scene.
"Issei, be careful!"
After Qi Zhiqiang exclaimed, he rushed forward with a single step, desperately holding up Li Jie who was about to fall down.
Bang!
With a dull sound, Qi Zhiqiang fell solidly to the ground.
The fall was serious, and the pain caused his eyes to turn black.
"dad!"
"Zhiqiang!"
Wei Shufang and Qi Weimin saw Qi Zhiqiang fall to the ground and ran over in a hurry.
Li Jie turned over and said with concern on his face.
"Second uncle? Are you okay?"
Qi Zhi resisted the pain and showed a smile, saying indifferently: "Cough...cough...I'm fine."
While talking, Wei Shufang rushed over.
"Zhiqiang, does it matter if you want me?"
Although Qi Zhiqiang's fall seemed heavy, with Li Jie's participation, how could he really injure Qi Zhiqiang?
Therefore, Qi Zhiqiang just looks miserable.
Seeing her husband's head covered in cold sweat and his face twisted in pain, Wei Shufang suddenly became anxious.
If it was just a minor injury or pain, Zhiqiang would never show such pain.
"Come on, I'll help you go to the hospital."
While Wei Shufang helped her husband up with a concerned look on her face, she couldn't help but blame Li Jie.
"Yicheng, why are you so careless? If it weren't for you, would your uncle be like this?"
Qi Zhiqiang was about to raise his hand to stop his wife's scolding, but as soon as he raised his arm, a nerve in his body was affected, and he gasped in pain.
"Hiss...Shufang, it's not Yicheng's fault for this. It's because I didn't take care of her properly."
Wei Shufang rolled her eyes at him: "You all..."
"Okay, stop talking, let's go to the hospital quickly. We just happened to go through the discharge procedures for Qiqi."
Before she could say anything, Qi Zhiqiang interrupted her speech.
The group hurried to the hospital, and while Wei Shufang was registering, Li Jie secretly found the doctor and asked the doctor to check Qi Zhiqiang's liver later.
Although doctors feel strange when a child makes such a request, as medical practitioners, they have seen many strange requests.
Therefore, the doctor just asked a few questions and then added two more tests to the checklist.
