Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 537

Chapter 537: Chapter 537 Mother’s Worries

After spending a night at her parental home, Cheng Su and Qi Taiguo had breakfast and were ready to head back to Huangtian Village. Cheng Su was extremely reluctant to leave. Once she got back, she would have to cater to her mother-in-law’s moods and serve the whole family; it was truly exhausting!

Mother Cheng pulled her aside and said, "You haven’t gone back to Qing City these past two days, have you? We have some cured pork at home. Come and collect it when you leave. I won’t give it to you now; if you take it back, I’m afraid it won’t be you who ends up eating it."

This was her way of protecting the food, fearing that if taken back home, her daughter’s in-laws might consume all of it, leaving nothing for her to bring back to Qing City.

Cheng Su found it amusing but felt a warm feeling inside. She said, "Okay, I’ll swing by the house before I leave."

Mother Cheng nodded and added, "With the New Year coming up, try to control your temper a bit, and don’t take it to heart what your mother-in-law has been spreading about you being in business. There’s no need to compete with her over who’s right. She’s your mother-in-law. If you argue with her, you’re the one who’ll suffer. Nowadays, people, right or wrong, will instinctively side with the elderly first."

This was out of fear that Cheng Su would argue with her mother-in-law when she gets back!

Cheng Su simply replied, "I understand."

"Make sure it’s not just talk. Don’t just say it without following through. And let me tell you, what’s said is like water spilled; it cannot be taken back. Anyway, no matter what she says, you won’t agree and do as she says, so just let it go in one ear and out the other!" Seeing her daughter’s indifferent look, Mother Cheng added with more emphasis, "If I hear about you being disrespectful or back-talking, when you come back, I’ll twist your ear for sure!"

Cheng Su playfully tugged at her ear and said, "Mom, I’m your own daughter. Why are you not siding with me first? Are you implying I was picked up from a pit?"

"I picked you up from the stove corner! You are just ungrateful. It’s because I’m on your side and don’t want you to suffer losses that I advise you not to be obstinate. Anyway, you never listen to me. Stop hanging around before me and go on, you ungrateful girl!" Mother Cheng pretended to look disgusted.

"Fine, seeing how disgusted you are, I must really be picked up." Cheng Su said, chuckling. "Then I’ll come back in a couple of days!"

"Mm!"
