Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Returning Home

Cheng Su’s parental home was in Myrica Rubra Village, just next to Huangtian Village. A fifteen-minute walk was all it took to get there.

Wearing a new red dress, Cheng Su, following the original host’s memories, led Qi Taiguo, who was carrying gifts for the return visit, unevenly back to her maternal home.

Upon entering the village, people who saw them knew they were making a return visit and curiously sized them up, their gazes lingering on Cheng Su.

When a bride gets married, those from well-off families usually give her some gold ornaments or heirlooms to bring back to her parents’ home. Brides would wear them openly for all to see, a matter of pride for both the bride and her in-laws.

The Qi family wasn’t particularly wealthy, but they had given Cheng Su a gold ring and a pair of silver bracelets to wear, which looked quite nice.

Cheng Su found it amusing and didn’t mind the looks from others; after all, it was common practice and there was no loss to be seen from it.

The Cheng family’s home was constructed similarly to the Qi family’s but housed fewer people, consisting only of a large main house with a spacious courtyard. Next to the door, there was also a pigsty housing two plump pigs shuffling around inside.

Cheng Su pushed the gate open and was about to shout when someone came out from the house carrying a plastic bucket.

She was dressed in a floral cotton shirt with a pair of dusty grey trousers, wearing slippers, her hair curled up in a bun. Her robust figure could only belong to Mother Cheng.

"Mom!" Cheng Su blurted out instinctively, and she felt surprised at how natural it felt, without the slightest discomfort.

Mother Cheng looked up upon hearing the call, "Oh, Susu and my son-in-law are back already?"

"Mother-in-law," Qi Taiguo greeted.

"Ah, come in quickly." Mother Cheng replied with a smile, then asked, "I thought you wouldn’t come until lunchtime, why so early? Have a seat first; I’ll just feed these pig feed to the pigs. Your dad, our daughter has come back on her return visit!"
