Qi Taiguo didn’t fail to follow her back, but Cheng Su wouldn’t let him enter her maiden home, telling him she’d get cross if he did, and now he was still standing outside in the courtyard.
The north wind howled, and snow had begun to fall at some point. Qi Taiguo, having rushed out, had only grabbed a coat on his way out. Even with his regular exercise, he felt the chill invading.
Footsteps approached, and her younger brother poked his head out, waving, "Brother-in-law, come in. My sister really has a temper. Without her saying anything, none of us would have known you were here. Come in quickly!"
Qi Taiguo hurried inside.
As soon as he entered the main room, it was warm and inviting. Dinner had already been set out, but the looks on his mother-in-law and father-in-law’s faces weren’t too pleasant.
"Sit down and eat. After dinner, you should head back. I’ll stay at my mother’s place for the next few days," Cheng Su called out to him.
Qi Taiguo sat down, steeling himself.
Father Cheng opened a bottle of liquor and poured him a drink. Qi Taiguo quickly stood up to take it, his face a picture of panic, "Father-in-law, please let me do it. How could I trouble you to pour me a drink?"
"Sit down," Father Cheng avoided his hand.
Qi Taiguo had no choice but to sit down again.
