Cheng Su left decisively, leaving Mother Qi staring in astonishment, pointing at the doorway and trembling without stopping, before finally mustering a sentence, "What, what kind of attitude is this?"
It was indeed an eye-opener; a new bride dared to show her disdain on the very first day?
Everyone knew she had a fiery temperament, but no one expected her to still be so temperamental even after crossing the threshold into the family.
She was furious!
"It's fine. She's young. We'll teach her slowly over time. Besides, isn't she going to make breakfast?" Father Qi didn't seem to care much. It's natural for a new bride to be shy; they could teach her gradually.
Mother Qi's face darkened. It was precisely because of the old man's attitude that the Qi family had ended up with such a daughter-in-law. Her Taiguo had been wronged.
She looked at her eldest son, Taiguo. His face was impassive, and he said nothing, leaving her guessing what he might be thinking. But to Mother Qi, it seemed he was displeased.
Indeed, how could he be happy with such a bride?
Father Qi asked Taiguo when he planned to return to his military unit.
"I'm leaving tomorrow," Taiguo replied succinctly.
His holiday time was already strict. Such a big event as marriage would allow him more leave, but he didn't want to take it, so he had only scheduled three days of wedding leave.
And Cheng Su, she did not seem to have any desire for him to stay.
"Then you..."
"What's that smell?" Taiguo interrupted his father's words, wrinkling his nose as if something was burning.
"Is someone burning firewood?" Mother Qi also smelled it.
Taiguo looked outside and upon seeing smoke, he stood up abruptly.
A sharp scream altered his expression.
"Fire... Ah."
