Cheng Su exchanged a bag of sausages for a piece of cured meat. That night, she ate happily while Qi Taiguo watched with joy, almost putting the whole plate of meat into Cheng Su’s bowl.
But Mother Qi was quite distressed.
Such extravagance! Giving a return gift shouldn’t be done like this!
Once Cheng Su went to take a bath, she couldn’t help but complain to Qi Taiguo: "...Your wife is overly generous. They gave us meat; a simple cake or some fruit would have been sufficient in return. But giving such a big bag of sausages? People might think she’s a fool! Extravagant, far too extravagant!"
Qi Taiguo replied, "Mom, when it comes to social exchanges, she knows the limits. Just let her be. We rarely eat those sausages anyway, so giving them away is fine. Look, she ate such a big bowl tonight, isn’t that good?"
Mother Qi snorted.
Qi Taiguo continued, "I’m going to the festival preparedness tomorrow. Mom, please help take care of her at home. Don’t argue with her too much; go along with her, alright?"
Mother Qi scoffed, "Forgot your mother now that you have a wife, huh? A mother-in-law going along with her daughter-in-law, ridiculous!"
Qi Taiguo awkwardly resorted to his usual tactic: "Isn’t this all for the sake of the child?"
Mother Qi was just about to say something when Cheng Su came out of the bathroom, making her close her mouth.
She held back!
With six days left until the New Year, Qi Taiguo was about to head out for festival preparedness. Surprisingly, Cheng Su felt reluctant, hugging him with tears in her eyes and refusing to let go.
"Guessing there’s a big cabbage inside, she loves to cry!" Qi Taiguo pointed at her belly and laughed.
Cheng Su was amused by his remark and pushed him, "What big cabbage?"
"Then it’s a little pig?"
