Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 1684

Chapter 1684: Chapter 1685: Insane Cruelty

Unlike the mourning at the Zhang family, the Qi family was full of joy, and laughter could be heard from inside the house even from outside the courtyard walls.

Qi Taiguo stopped outside the house. Cheng Su saw him when she came out and said, "Back so soon?" Seeing he didn’t enter, she asked, "What are you doing standing at the door, come in!"

Qi Taiguo said, "Go to the kitchen and get some straw."

Cheng Su was puzzled, wondering what he was up to, but went to the kitchen and grabbed a small handful of straw.

Qi Taiguo took it, placed it at the doorstep, pulled out a lighter, and lit it. Once the straw was burning well, he stepped over the fire as he went in.

Cheng Su was stunned, wondering what this was all about.

Mother Qi came out from the main room and happened to see this scene, and asked, "What happened? Stepping over a fire, did someone pass away?"

Cheng Su was taken aback.

Qi Taiguo saw Cheng Su’s stunned expression, realizing she was ’an outsider’ who might not understand, so he quietly explained, "When coming back from a house where someone died, you must step over fire to ward off the bad luck, especially with children in our house." He then asked, "Where is big sister? Has she left? Something happened at the Zhang family!"

"She hasn’t left yet, said she would leave after eating." Cheng Su was alarmed by this and grabbed his arm, asking, "What happened? Could it be that child... passed on?"

"I’ll tell you inside!" Qi Taiguo shook his head.

Indeed, big sister hadn’t left yet, so Qi Taiguo found an excuse to send Xiao Yun and Xiao Bao away before he spoke of the Zhang family’s tragedy.

"What?!"

"Oh my God!"

Everyone was shocked, wondering what on earth had happened.

They resented the Zhang family for lacking integrity, but never wished them dead, never wanted them to face such cruel fate. Yet now, hearing about the viciousness of that woman from the Zhang family made their skin crawl.

Qi Fenglian’s body weakened, nearly falling to the ground, and Chu Changxing quickly supported her.
