Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Who Says Discharge

Cheng Su watched the siblings pushing the Great Unity RMB notes back and forth and then, with a laugh, rose to her feet and said, "Big sister, don’t refuse it. Just take it. Otherwise, he won’t be able to sleep tonight." She paused before adding, "But Old Qi Taiguo said something sensible. You should keep this money to yourself and hide it. Don’t let him know you have it unless it’s absolutely necessary. A woman should always have some money of her own to feel confident."

As she spoke, both siblings felt a sense of relief. Thinking of her own son and the daughter who could only watch her classmates eat cookies with envy, Qi Fenglian accepted the Great Unity RMB notes and said, "Big sister thanks you for the favor. Once I get a job at the factory and earn some money, I’ll pay you back."

Cheng Su smiled, knowing they might have something to say. She made the excuse that she was feeling stuffy and needed some air and went outside.

Once the door was closed, Qi Fenglian said to Qi Taiguo, "You really scared me, brother. I was truly afraid that your wife might take it the wrong way just now."

Thirty yuan was not a small sum. Anyone would feel a bit uncomfortable, and yet Qi Taiguo pulled out the money in front of his wife and gave it to his big sister.

"Big sister, don’t worry, it’s okay, she’s not that petty," Qi Taiguo smiled.

"Nonsense, as if I don’t know what kind of temper she had before?" Qi Fenglian scolded him with a glance and added, "But it’s strange, don’t you think? How can a person change so much? Back then, she was jealous and stingy, with a fierce temperament, but after getting married, it’s like she turned into a different person. Look at what just happened, if it were the old her, she might have thrown a fit, right? Now that she’s your wife, she seems to have become gentle and generous. Did you manage to completely domesticate her?"

"Gentle? She’s not exactly that," said Qi Taiguo. "As for being generous, it doesn’t matter much. It’s my money I earned. I gave it to you, and she doesn’t really have a say." As for being docile, let’s not talk about that.

"I don’t agree with that. You’re married, you’re a unit; it’s best to discuss things and make decisions together—that’s what makes a harmonious couple. Take the money you gave me, for example. If you had discussed it with her first, she wouldn’t overthink it. But since you decided on your own, she might still be a bit unhappy, being your wife and all. Women, after all, are usually a bit narrow-minded. Don’t do that again!"

Was that so?
