Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 542

Chapter 542: Chapter 542: Arranging a Secure Job

A meal, Cheng Su ate with such a tastelessness that she wondered if it was her own illusion; she felt that the auntie was watching her every move.

After the meal, Cheng Su began to clean up. Qi Fenglian took off her coat to help, but Auntie stopped her, saying, "You’re here as a guest, an auntie visiting relatives. Guests don’t do chores. We have a daughter-in-law here; there’s no need for you to intervene."

Qi Fenglian and Cheng Su looked at each other, both at a loss.

"Older sister, you rest. Baobao must be getting hungry; I can take care of it," Cheng Su said with a light smile.

Qi Fenglian felt somewhat guilty.

Cheng Su didn’t dawdle; she was always someone who handled things efficiently. She first made a pot of tea for them to drink and chat, put out a fruit plate, and then swiftly cleaned up the dining table and did the dishes.

Qi Taiguo quietly followed her to the kitchen and said, "Auntie is traditional by nature and finds many things about young people’s behavior hard to accept. If she says something that displeases you, just bear with it, pretend you didn’t hear it, and feel sorry for her!"

Cheng Su, while washing dishes, first glanced at the kitchen door and asked in a low voice, "Is it true that in their place, women don’t sit at the table?"

Qi Taiguo nodded and said, "Yes, it’s true."

Cheng Su sighed sharply and said, "My goodness, what kind of place is that? It seems very closed off, right?"

"Mhm, it’s a very closed-off small mountain village, where the traditional customs are quite strict, and they’re used to it," Qi Taiguo replied.

"I’m glad when I came over, it was here and not there. Otherwise, what would I have done?" Cheng Su muttered to herself, filled with relief.

She really had not expected such traditional customs to still exist; it was extremely suffocating. With this in mind, her firm decision not to remarry was also a matter of following the example, wasn’t it?
