Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 509

Chapter 509: Chapter 509: The Sister-in-Law’s Provocation

After washing up, the family sat at the table for dinner—a feast of five dishes and one soup: a big fat chicken, a plate of duck, braised pork belly with lotus root, a dish of greens, and spicy cabbage stir-fried with cured meat, topped off with ribs soup.

Cheng Su glanced at the fatty meat in the soup, then gave Qi Taiguo a meaningful look, as tonight’s meal was on his dime.

"Here, have a chicken drumstick. Look how skinny you’ve gotten—are you not eating meat usually?" Mother Qi placed a drumstick in Qi Taiguo’s bowl with a look of sorrow, then turned to Cheng Su with an accusatory gaze, her meaning clear: she was blaming her for being a negligent wife.

Qi Taiguo laughed, "Mom, I’m all grown up now, what do I need a chicken leg for?" Then he passed the drumstick to Cheng Su, "Here, you must be tired today."

His insinuation did not go unnoticed; Cheng Su shot him a glare as they exchanged loving glances, which only served to infuriate Mother Qi, her face stretching long with displeasure.

What did this mean? The special chicken drumstick she had cut for her son—did Cheng Su even deserve to share it?

Feeling the heat of Mother Qi’s gaze, Cheng Su thought about returning it but then considered, why shouldn’t I eat what my husband is willing to give me?

Right then, Cheng Su sweetly said, "Thanks, husband."

Qi Fengping and Qi Jianguo, the dragon-phoenix twins, shivered in unison at her coy tone.

Cheng Su didn’t care. She picked up the drumstick and bit into it, her mouth glossy with grease, which nearly popped Mother Qi’s eyes out of their sockets. To Mother Qi, Cheng Su’s bite felt as if taken out of her own flesh, sending pangs of hurt through her.

As Mother Qi was about to react, Father Qi, who knew her thoughts best, immediately placed some chicken in her bowl, "Let’s eat, everybody!" He then shot her a warning glare.
