Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 675: Chapter 675: Taking the Wife’s Side

Mother Cheng was very angry, while Mother Qi felt a bit guilty. If that was the case, then it was her son’s fault.

”Mom, it’s not like that, Taiguo has done nothing wrong to me!” Cheng Su hurriedly explained.

After hearing this, Mother Qi let out a sigh, frowning and saying, ”It was that doctor, she was so sweet-talking at the beginning, I actually thought she was good-hearted, but it turns out she is heartless and rotten, truly detestable.”

Cheng Su lowered her eyelids; her mother-in-law was not entirely without judgment, still able to discern right from wrong, although it was for the sake of that unborn child.

”Such a despicable woman should be beaten to death. Taiguo, you are a soldier, don’t be blinded by other women outside. If you make a mistake, there’s no turning back,” Mother Cheng lectured.

”Mother-in-law, I know, I promise to treat only Susu well,” Qi Taiguo hurriedly said.

Mother Qi watched and felt increasingly displeased with everything, very bitter inside. Her son, why should he be so submissive and deferential?

”Even if that woman is bad, you are also negligent. You didn’t even know whether you were pregnant or not. You should have been alert the moment your period stopped. Otherwise, how could such things happen?” Mother Qi unwillingly chided Cheng Su.

”Mom, since you’re here, have you not yet visited my older sister? Let me take you for a walk there!” Qi Taiguo spoke up.

Mother Qi’s heart skipped a beat.

He was warning her!

”I...”

”Let’s go, it’s a good opportunity to see where my sister works,” Qi Taiguo said insistently, not allowing her to refuse, and then to Mother Cheng, ”Mother-in-law, please accompany Susu for a while. I’ll come back later to pick you up.”

”Oh.”

Mother Qi’s face darkened as she stood up and walked out.

Once the mother and son were gone, Mother Cheng said, ”What’s going on, why does Taiguo seem to have changed quite a bit?”

Cheng Su was quite satisfied, saying, ”That’s a good thing. Mom, didn’t you notice my mother-in-law was picking on me? Taiguo distracted his mother, saving me from having to listen to her blame.”

”That’s true!” Mother Cheng also quite approved of her son-in-law’s behavior, patting her hand and saying, ”If he can stand by your side, your days in your in-law’s house will be much easier!”

Cheng Su snorted and said, ”Mom, I’ve figured it out over the New Year, whether my life is good or not is up to me. A mother-in-law is just a mother-in-law after all. No matter how well I do, she will never be satisfied and will always find fault. So why should I continue to curry favor with her? I’ve thought it through; it’s enough if we get along on the surface. If she doesn’t give me face, I won’t give her face either.”

Mother Cheng was taken aback and let out a sigh.

”Let’s not talk about this. As long as you feel comfortable, that’s what matters. Now I see, if Taiguo always stands by your side, she probably won’t dare do much to you, can she scold her own son? In the end, doesn’t she have to bow down to her son?” Mother Cheng said.

Cheng Su nodded.

”Let’s not talk about her, what about this time? What exactly happened? Tell me everything, and about that fox spirit, what’s the deal with her?” Mother Cheng changed the topic.

Cheng Su’s expression became a bit somber. There was no need to hide anything from her own mother, so she recounted the details of the incident meticulously.

Mother Cheng listened with a mixture of alarm and trepidation, asking, ”A high official, eh? If Taiguo has offended them, might they strip him of his post?”

”He’ll handle it; we women don’t need to worry about it,” Cheng Su said indifferently, ”Even if he is discharged from military service, we won’t live poorly. We can do business.”

Mother Cheng relaxed upon hearing this, saying, ”You’ve managed to conceive while avoiding pregnancy, isn’t it the will of the Goddess of Childbirth? Alas, it’s a pity it didn’t last, such is the will of Tianyi.”

Cheng Su’s eyes dimmed, but she was also pondering the matter, how could she have become pregnant?
