The aunt was taken aback to see Qi Taiguo return alone and her impression of Cheng Su worsened. What an assertive daughter-in-law, she thought, showing no sense of wrongdoing at all.
"Taiguo, you really can’t indulge that wife of yours. Otherwise, she’ll end up walking all over you. With such a temper, how can she be so unsubmissive?" the aunt couldn’t help but advise Qi Taiguo.
In her view, having such a daughter-in-law, Qi Taiguo had really been cheated.
Upon hearing this, Qi Taiguo wasn’t as ’obedient’ as he used to be. He suddenly remembered what his father-in-law had said the night before. Though initially not quite convinced, now it was clear to him that what he had thought – that his family considered Cheng Su as one of their own – wasn’t really the case.
So she truly was alone and unsupported!
"Aunt, Cheng Su is very good. She is independent and strong; she can do business and make money; she keeps our home neat and clean; and she takes good care of me and treats my parents well. So even if she does walk over me, I don’t mind. She’s my wife; if I don’t indulge her, who will?" Qi Taiguo said indifferently.
The aunt felt choked by his response, swallowing her prepared lecture and looking at him as if she were dumbfounded.
"Being able to marry Cheng Su is the blessing of my life, aunt. What you’ve said, I’ll only listen to this one last time. From now on, anyone who speaks ill of her is speaking ill of me," Qi Taiguo added before leaving the room.
"Everything’s turned upside down, Erzhen, have you seen this? What did I tell you? Your Qi family will eventually change its surname to Cheng. Look at them, all bewitched, even disrespecting their elders," the aunt leaped up.
Mother Qi had a splitting headache. She had just been rebuked by her husband and given a cold shoulder by her son, and now her elder sister was speaking out, causing her head to throb violently.
"Elder sister, please stop talking, I’m upset enough as it is!"
