Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 1662

Chapter 1662: Chapter 1663: Tragic News from the Zhang Family

Cheng Su brought her son back to her hometown this time, firstly because of the New Year, and secondly, because Qi Xiaoqi needs to be presented, a tradition in the countryside for sons to formally notify their ancestors, ensuring family lineage.

When Qi Xiaoqi had his full moon celebration, it was held in Qing City with a small gathering, so Father Qi and Mother Qi decided to use this opportunity to invite relatives for a feast as a supplementary celebration.

The elders wanted a lively event, and Cheng Su didn’t mind helping. Before the day arrived, she was busy organizing the banquet, deciding on the menu, who to invite, and how many supplies to purchase, all of which needed planning.

Time flew by, and on New Year’s Eve, Cheng Su got up early to help slaughter chickens and ducks and offer prayers. She was busy with various tasks; in the freezing weather, she hardly left the house except for family duties.

While she was plucking a fat duck in the yard, someone came to visit and greeted her: "Killing a duck, are you!"

Cheng Su smiled in response and asked the visitor about her purpose.

"We’re making fried meatballs at home and came to borrow a sieve, ours broke, and we haven’t bought a new one yet!" the elderly lady said with a smile.

Mother Qi went into the kitchen, fetched a large sieve, and handed it to her.

"... You’re always so at ease, with no worries, everyone envies you!" The lady accepted the sieve but stayed, chatting with Mother Qi: "All the kids are doing well. We used to feel sorry for Fenglian, but now she has seen the light at the end of the tunnel!"

Mother Qi modestly responded with a few words and a smile.

"Ah, the Zhang family isn’t so lucky. Such a good woman like Fenglian left, and now they’ve got a shrewish wife who’s not fertile. The kids born are sickly; it’s such a pity." The lady sighed.

Mother Qi was taken aback, and even Cheng Su looked over: "Sick?"
