In the evening, Cheng Su discussed trivial household matters with Qi Taiguo.
The conversation started with the Elder Sister and her husband. Recently, the Elder Sister had mentioned to her that Zhang Jisheng was constantly complaining about how tough the renovation work was and they were always arguing.
Cheng Su said, "They say it’s best for outsiders not to meddle in a couple’s affairs, so I didn’t say much."
Qi Taiguo frowned and said, "You did the right thing. It’s their marital issue, and we shouldn’t interfere. By the way, how is your Uncle doing?"
Cheng Su replied, "Uncle hadn’t said much; I think he’s settled down too. Actually, if he does well, he can really go solo in this business in the future. But..."
"What?"
"Uncle mentioned that the Elder Sister’s husband talked back to Dazhi twice!" Cheng Su cautiously said.
Upon hearing this, Qi Taiguo’s expression changed immediately. He sat up on the bed, his lips pursed, and a faint anger began to bubble up.
"Don’t be annoyed, and don’t interfere, to spare the Elder Sister any embarrassment!" Cheng Su immediately said.
"He just doesn’t know how to appreciate opportunities!" Qi Taiguo gritted his teeth.
The job of Zhang Jisheng was something Cheng Su had found for him; though it was tough, the pay was fair, without a penny missing. If one were really committed, there was a chance to set up one’s own renovation team in the future, but Zhang Jisheng?
Seeing him like this, Cheng Su quickly changed the subject and asked about Qi Taiguo’s recent mission—what kind of task it was, where he was going, and whether it would be dangerous.
"Susu, the military has its secrets, and this mission is no different; I can’t discuss the details with you," Qi Taiguo looked at Cheng Su. "However, this mission isn’t too significant; just a few heads of state are coming to a neighboring province for an important conference, and we need to deploy troops for defense, that’s all."
Cheng Su, not fully understanding, asked, "Is it to protect those people?"
