Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Chapter 10: To Be Continued

Over the years, Qi Taiguo's stipend had always been sent back home, so the Qi family's finances had significantly improved compared to the past. Now, with Taiguo getting married and being the eldest son, the family naturally placed great importance on the event, resulting in a lavish banquet that was very lively.

There were a lot of leftovers after the banquet. Last night, Mother Qi had already distributed quite a bit to others, and the family kept a lot for themselves too, thinking they would not need to buy meat or vegetables for a few days and could save some money.

She was a person terrified of poverty, always frugal. It was common for her to eat leftovers until they could no longer be eaten, and she planned to do the same this time. No one in the family would have any objections.

Who from a poor family background had the right to complain whether the food was leftovers? Despite the era of reform and opening up improving the lives of the common people compared to the past, there were still not a few who went hungry.

The Qi family lived a relatively comfortable life thanks to the monthly stipend from Taiguo, but even so, they did not eat meat every day. They would buy meat only now and then for a special treat.

But now, Cheng Su had spoiled Mother Qi's perfect plan, dumping the leftovers into the slops bucket.

Mother Qi, seeing the bucket brimming with leftovers, was so heartbroken that she beat her chest and wished she could scoop them all back out.

This prodigal daughter-in-law, such a wasteful woman, it's just too much, she has no idea how hard life is!

"Tell me, why did you do this?" Mother Qi glared at Cheng Su, unable to contain her anger.

Startled by her fury, Cheng Su frowned and said, "I saw that the dish had gone bad, it was sour, so I threw it away."

"Elder Sister, although it's May and the weather is indeed hotter, it's been only one night. How could it go bad so quickly? You wanted to eat fresh food, so you deliberately threw it away, didn't you?" Qi Fengping interjected, "Our Qi family is not a capitalist household; we've never lived lavishly. However, even though your ancestors were accustomed to a life of luxury, wearing gold and silver, you're not rich now, are you? How can you not know the value of thriftiness?"

Cheng Su's expression darkened as she replied, "Little sister-in-law, since you call me 'Elder Sister', you should speak more politely. This intentional or unintentional talk, I don't have as many thoughts as you. I simply noticed that the food smelled and tasted spoiled, and I threw it away to prevent sickness. I was just considering everyone's health!"

Qi Fengping pursed her lips and rolled her eyes.
