Cheng Su turned around, and behind her stood a young girl in a plaid dress with her hair down, looking at her with a face full of sarcasm.
This was her sister-in-law, Qi Fengping, who was a twin to her brother-in-law, Qi Jianguo. She had always been quite dissatisfied with Cheng Su, and now she had the chance, naturally, she wanted to have a go at her.
Cheng Su laughed in annoyance, "Oh, my dear sister-in-law, are you somehow a worm inside my stomach? To think you know what I'm thinking. Unfortunately, you've misunderstood this time."
She was certainly not a weak person.
Qi Fengping's delicately plucked eyebrows shot up. Did she just insult her by calling her a worm?
Just as she was about to retort, Mother Qi had already preempted her, "Fengping is right, you did this on purpose. Well, well, playing tricks as soon as you enter the door. I'm telling you, no way! This isn't the Cheng family, you're already married into our Qi family. Thinking of using tricks to be lazy, impossible."
With no words, Cheng Su rolled her eyes. So, in this day and age, mothers-in-law and sisters-in-law convicted people without allowing them to explain themselves?
"Enough, it was an accident. The day is hot, and it's windy and dry, it's not impossible for a fire to start by accident. Is it worth all this fuss? Quickly clean up, it's getting late." Father Qi chimed in, "Besides, what's done is done. Fortunately, nobody got hurt. Taiguo's daughter-in-law, you didn't get burned, did you?"
His words carried concern, and Cheng Su felt a slight warmth in her heart. She smiled faintly, "Dad, I'm fine, I was just a little panicked when the fire started, that's why I ran out."
"That's good, next time you'll have to be more careful. This weather is hot, and the wood is all dried out, it's easy to catch fire," laughed Father Qi.
"Yes!" Cheng Su sighed softly, grateful there was someone reasonable.
She glanced at Qi Taiguo, his gaze deep and also looking her way, the corner of his mouth curling up with a tinge of sarcasm.
