Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 32

Chapter 32: Chapter 32 The Suffering Inside

Just as Cheng Su had anticipated, the Zhang family caused a commotion about leaving the hospital immediately after hearing the cost of hospitalization. The hospital staff explained that the child was born premature, only eight months along, and there’s an old saying "seven months survives, eight months does not." If they insisted on leaving the hospital, the hospital would not be responsible for any consequences.

With just these words, the Zhang family matriarch, who had been making a racket, changed her tune instantly and said the child should stay, but the mother could be discharged.

Naturally, the hospital did their part in persuading them, mentioning how difficult childbirth was on the body, especially given it was a C-section, and how complications could easily arise. Discharge was out of the question.

Mother Zhang was unwilling to listen, claiming the hospital was only in it for the money, which nearly drove the head nurse to the brink of rage. Then they called for the only person related to the maternity patient who had a say in matters.

And that person was none other than Cheng Su!

Cheng Su didn’t waste words, but simply looked at Zhang Jisheng and said, "You can choose not to stay in the hospital. If Qi Fenglian were to worsen, as long as you can handle Qi Taiguo’s fury, then it’s fine."

Zhang Jisheng immediately cowered at the mention of his older brother-in-law’s name, and said he would pay. Mother Zhang was still ranting, "What’s so great about being in the military? Could he possibly dare to kill someone? Those who kill will be taken to firing squads, does he dare?"

"Whether he dares or not isn’t for you to decide," Cheng Su said with a sneer, unable to hide her disdain. "Old Qi is especially protective of his own. After all, Big Sister was the one who largely raised him, and he respects her the most."

Mother Zhang and Zhang Jisheng fell silent in unison for a moment, because Cheng Su was speaking the truth.

Qi Fenglian is only a little more than three years older than Qi Taiguo, but as is often the case with children from poor families who mature early, being the eldest sister, she began helping to take care of her brother as soon as he was born. Their bond as siblings has been strong ever since.

To say that Qi Taiguo was protective was an understatement. In middle school, when someone made a joke about Qi Fenglian’s chest and she came home crying, Qi Taiguo, furious like a young bull, beat up the boy.
