Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Fighting Spirit Arises

Cheng Su did not expect that, upon happily returning home, she would hear others gossiping about her behind her back as an uneducated nouveau riche.

Guiying was the first to see Cheng Su standing at the kitchen door, and she nudged the delighted Hualing and coughed.

”Nouveau riche is still nouveau riche. Why are you poking me? Is there anything wrong with what I’m saying...” Hualing saw the look in Guiying’s eyes, turned her head, and saw Cheng Su standing at the door, her face involuntarily changed.

It was an awkward situation as they often saw each other without much enthusiasm, but it never reached the point of tearing each other’s faces off. Talking behind each other’s backs was naturally losing moral high ground, and now being caught on the spot by the very person, the embarrassment was inevitable.

Hualing and the others were all very embarrassed, Cheng Su laughed: ”Cooking?”

”Yes, sister-in-law, you’re back!” Guiying asked with an awkward smile.

”Hmm, just got back. I bought some grapes, very sweet, come over to my place later and have some,” Cheng Su lifted the plastic bag in her hand, glanced at Hualing, and added another sentence, ”That is if you don’t mind the stench of money on me.”

Snort!

Guiying and Chunhua almost couldn’t help but burst into laughter, while Hualing’s face turned red as she glared fiercely at Cheng Su.

Cheng Su hummed triumphantly, turned around, and headed inside. So, it’s okay for you to talk behind my back but not for me to mock you openly?

”What does she mean by that? What is she trying to say?” Hualing’s voice, filled with frustration and defeat, came from the kitchen.

Humming a tune, Cheng Su casually took out her keys to unlock the door.

After dinner, it happened that Qi Taiguo didn’t have the night shift, so Cheng Su took his hand and strolled around the courtyard.

When it came to Hualing’s words, Cheng Su felt somewhat indignant, while Qi Taiguo just laughed: ”She wasn’t entirely wrong, though. You do have a bit of a nouveau riche vibe to you.”

What’s the nouveau riche like? They are the ones who strike it rich overnight, decked out in gold and silver, desperate to show the whole world how wealthy they are.

As for Cheng Su, she may not wear gold and silver, but once she had money, she wasn’t tight-fisted. Whatever needed buying, she bought. So for electric fans, she didn’t buy just one but two, like they were free.

In other households, you wouldn’t see meat on the dinner table every day, but it was different for her; she had meat at every meal, claiming it was all about ”nutritional balance” or something.

And then there were the fruits. Ever since she moved into the courtyard, the fruit bowl at home was never empty. Today, it was a big bag of grapes.

That’s somewhat like a nouveau riche, right?

”Qi Taiguo, I’m your wife, and you’re siding with outsiders, bullying me?” Cheng Su said, annoyed as she fiercely pinched his hand.

Unfortunately for her, Qi Taiguo was rather muscular, and his skin was thick. She couldn’t even pinch his flesh, and instead, her own hand started to feel sore.

Qi Taiguo held her hand, brought his fist to his lips with a gentle laugh, and said, ”Let it go. Those gossipy women can’t stand to see someone doing well. Why should you care?”

Cheng Su pouted, ”I just can’t accept it. So what if it’s just a university degree? They make it sound like it’s something out of this world. What’s so great about it?”

”Easy for you to say. Why don’t you go to university and get a degree then?” Qi Taiguo looked at her, one eyebrow raised.

”Fine, I will.” Cheng Su couldn’t stand Qi Taiguo looking down on her. Hearing his words, her fighting spirit flared up.

Qi Taiguo knew her expressions too well, and seeing the flames dancing in her eyes, he asked, ”Are you serious?”

Cheng Su lifted her chin, ”Of course, I’m serious. Tell me, do you support me or not?”

Ah...

”Can you actually do it?” Qi Taiguo was somewhat skeptical.

”Whether I can or not, I’ll only know after I try. But since I’m going to re-educate myself and study, we’ll have to put off having kids for now, alright?” Cheng Su squinted her eyes, revealing her true intent to delay having children.
