Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171: Chapter 171 Not Giving Any Household Money

Having successfully recruited the father and son duo from the Song family, Cheng Su was utterly delighted. Instead of calling Mr. Song, who was actually named Song Cheng, "Mr. Song"—as it made him sound old—she decided simply to call him Old Song.

After finalizing the work schedule and remuneration with Old Song, Cheng Su rode her bicycle back to the compound, in high spirits.

"Well, well, did you strike gold or come into some fortune? Look at sister-in-law beaming like a blooming flower."

Upon entering the building, she ran into Hualing, who prided herself on her aloofness. Seeing Cheng Su’s glowing cheeks, Hualing couldn’t hold back her jealousy.

Cheng Su stopped in her tracks, smiled, and said, "Us folks drawn to the scent of copper must be this happy because we’re about to strike it rich."

With that, she brushed past Hualing, leaving her fuming.

Cheng Su took out her keys, turned back, and said, "What’s with you these past few days? Haven’t slept well, or what? Those dark circles are almost as prominent as a national treasure’s eyes."

Hualing was stunned, and before she could respond, Cheng Su had already entered her room. It was only then that Hualing, belatedly realizing, thought to herself, "The national treasure, isn’t that the giant panda?"

Touching the area around her eyes and thinking of Cheng Su’s radiant face, Hualing lost her composure and rushed into the bathroom. She looked in the mirror hanging on the wall and saw that her dark circles were indeed quite pronounced.

She dropped the vegetables she was holding and hurried back to the room to vigorously shake Chen Shouwang, who was sitting in a daze.

"Cheng Su just said my eyes look like a panda’s eyes. Take a look. Do they, or don’t they?" Hualing asked, pointing at the dark circles under her eyes.

Chen Shouwang looked up and forced a smile, saying, "Not at all, she got it wrong. You’re naturally beautiful and very pretty. No one’s more beautiful than my wife."

Hualing playfully spat at him and said, "Sweet talker. But I really think these circles are too dark. Honey, buy me some good cosmetics."
