Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1411: Chapter 1412: The Sister-in-Law Stays

Letting Mother-in-law leave, Cheng Su knew she was at fault, so when they were leaving, she generously counted out five Great Unity RMB and stuffed them into her mother-in-law’s hand.

”Mom, thank you for taking care of me these past days. Here’s a bit of money for you to buy some good food. When the child is born, I’ll still be counting on you to help out!” Cheng Su said with a smile.

This...

Money is truly a good thing. These ten brand-new, crisp Great Unity RMB squeezed in her palm suppressed all of Mother Qi’s dissatisfaction and frustration, and she felt somewhat comforted.

”Weren’t you dissatisfied with me? Yet you’re asking me to come back, I’m too scared to.” Mother Qi muttered as she slipped the money into her pocket.

Cheng Su said, ”How could that be? Having an elder at home is like having a treasure. Now that I’m comfortable and at ease, I’m just worried about Dad managing alone at home, so we’re letting you go back!”

”What’s so hard for him? Besides, no one is more important than you right now, nor more important than my grandchild!” Mother Qi replied immediately. After thinking for a while, she said, ”I’ll go back, and leave Fengping to take care of you!”

Huh?

Everyone exchanged glances.

Qi Fengping was also stunned.

”Anyway, she’s just repeating classes and hasn’t gone to school, so she’s studying at home by herself. What’s the difference where she studies?” Mother Qi said, ”At home, she doesn’t even dare to step out, so she might as well be here, helping take care of you, and she can study too.”

The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was a good idea. Ever since that incident, Fengping seldom went out, fearing people’s gossip. Since that’s the case, she might as well stay in Qing City to take care of Cheng Su, and continue studying, killing two birds with one stone.

Qi Taiguo was intrigued; it was indeed a pretty good idea. If it weren’t for Cheng Su’s insistence, he wouldn’t have let his mother return home. Leaving a sister here was also a good option.

”That could work; if Fengping stays, she can help you, and we’ll feel relieved!” Father Qi also agreed with his wife’s suggestion.

”Exactly. Sometimes Taiguo still has shifts and tasks to do. How can you manage alone? Let’s settle it this way!” Mother Qi concluded.

”But with my sister-in-law here, only you two are left at home, and you also have to take care of Xiao Bao. Can you manage? It’s not like there are any fields to harvest, and you’ll still need to cook daily meals.” Cheng Su was still a bit hesitant.

”We’re not so old that we can’t move. How could it be impossible? There are only two or three people at home; can’t we manage to cook even a couple of grains of rice?” Mother Qi retorted.

Cheng Su awkwardly turned to Qi Fengping: ”So what do you think, sister-in-law?”

Qi Fengping thought for a moment and said, ”I don’t really mind. But if I’m staying, I need to go back home first. I haven’t brought my textbooks and materials yet.” This would also let her repay the kindness Cheng Su showed when she took care of her after her miscarriage.

”No need to specially go home to fetch them. When I go to school in a few days, I’ll bring them for you. Anyway, I’ll be taking the train from Qing City to Guangcheng,” Qi Jianguo said.

”Alright then!”

That’s how it was decided. Mother Qi carefully instructed Qi Fengping on how to take care of her sister-in-law, reminded her to call if anything was off, and talked at length.

Cheng Su was not very mobile, so Qi Taiguo took Father Qi and the others to the bus station for their journey home.

Her mother-in-law left, and her sister-in-law stayed, but it was better than having her mother-in-law stay. Cheng Su sincerely said, ”For the days to come, I’ll be relying on you, sister-in-law!”

Qi Fengping paused, feeling a bit awkward, and said, ”Why say that, you’re being too polite!”

Cheng Su smiled sweetly.
