Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Restless

Watching Cheng Su wrap up the entire lunch rush, Qi Taiguo finally understood how busy she had been. He also realized that when she talked about diverting money to fill in the gaps, she wasn’t lying—it was probably true. After all, the business at the eatery seemed to be booming.

After eating lunch at the small restaurant, Qi Taiguo, clutching the pawn ticket and the banknotes Cheng Su had given him, left. As he stepped out of the restaurant, he turned for one last look.

Cheng Su was quickly chopping radishes at the table she called her workbench. Her wrists were agile, her knife skills were impressive—it was as if she were seasoned through and through.

She hadn’t even fully rested before she began feverishly preparing for the next day’s sales. Those radishes—weren’t they meant to be pickled?

No wonder she’d earned the money back so quickly!

Qi Taiguo tightened his grip on the banknotes and strode away with a pursed lip.

But it wasn’t until he arrived at the pawnshop that she had mentioned that he realized: Why was he helping her redeem those two items? When had they ever been that close?

"Hey, are you pawning something?" The small window at the pawnshop opened, and the boss stuck out half his head to ask.

Qi Taiguo handed over the pawn ticket: "Here to redeem some items."

Cheng Su had also asked him, and seeing that he indeed had time today, she had him come to help with the redemption. After all, she was truly busy. If she came here to redeem the items and then went home, it would be too late.

"That was quick." The boss took the pawn ticket, looked it over, and muttered, "Wait a moment!"

After paying the money, Qi Taiguo took the two items belonging to Cheng Su back to the military residential compound. By then it was the afternoon. The weather was exceptionally good, and several people had moved stools out into the courtyard to sit, chat, and knit.

"Hey, did you know? Commander Qi’s wife was nowhere to be found these past few days!" A woman in a cloth shirt whispered mysteriously.

"Without you saying it, I also remembered; she hasn’t been seen for several days." Another person chimed in.

"Look, for so many days with Commander Qi away on a mission, she’s been missing; no idea what mischief she’s been up to."

"Tsk, tsk, don’t say that, they just got married."
