Cheng Su knew she should be grateful that her in-laws were helping her raise her child, but gratitude was one thing—there were some things she would never obey or compromise on, especially when it concerned her son. Now hearing about the Talisman Water, her hairs stood on end, and her eyes sharpened, like a lioness protecting her cubs, glaring at Mother Qi.
"Mom, what’s going on? What kind of Divine Talisman Water is this?" she tried to keep her voice calm.
This wasn’t what she thought, right? She had heard and seen some people who were superstitious, giving their children Talisman Water to ensure health or ward off evil spirits, wasn’t that just nonsense?
Could Mother Qi have succumbed to such superstitious ideas?
Faced with Cheng Su’s questioning, though it was just a simple question, Mother Qi’s heart was trembling slightly, looking to her husband for help.
No wonder she was scared; her daughter-in-law was always strong-minded, never believing in gods and ghosts, and you could tell from the absence of an incense burner at home. Back in the hometown, she would comply to worship a deity, which was considered giving face.
But she would never allow her grandson to drink Talisman Water, even though she believed it was beneficial and wouldn’t harm anyone.
And then there’s Xiao Qi, he...
Mother Qi looked at her grandson with a complex expression—smart, yes, but also too clever, and always siding with his mother.
Upon receiving the plea for help from his wife, Father Qi first glared at Mother Qi, his gaze saying: You deserve it.
Mother Qi shrank, instinctively moving to Father Qi’s side.
"Dad?" Cheng Su looked at her father-in-law.
Her father-in-law was always an open-minded and sensible person, surely he wouldn’t be this ignorant, indulging the mother-in-law, right?
