Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Chapter 9 The Profligate Daughter-in-law

Cheng Su did as her mother-in-law instructed, moving the dishes to the dining table and setting the meal. Looking at the bowls of white rice shaped like roosters and the several plates of food, she couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

She never imagined that just yesterday she was enjoying a delicate steak in a hotel, and today, dressed in a traditional Dacron suit as befit her era, she, as a new bride, was preparing soups and washing hands for the Qi family.

She didn't even feel anything odd about it, as if in a past life, she had done this before, so she found nothing unbelievable about it.

Could it be that in just one day, her identity and role had already mentally transformed?

How strange life's circumstances could be.

Cheng Su looked at her hands, not as slender and well-maintained as in her previous life. Would these hands continue to act as a daughter-in-law's hands, washing clothes, cooking meals, and taking care of housework and her in-laws?

She suddenly felt a wave of despondency, recalling a Japanese drama where a man said to his date, "I hope you don't work, stay at home full-time as a housewife, respect your parents, manage the household, have children..." and the female protagonist simply replied, "I can do that all by myself!"

Indeed, getting married, serving the in-laws, treating oneself like a nanny—if marriage was like that, it would be better to be alone!

So, in her time, many single persons of privilege, like her, preferred to remain single rather than settle. But in this era, not getting married wasn't an option!

Cheng Su shook her head, casting out the thoughts from her mind. Now, her status was as another man's wife.

"What is all this?" a voice exclaimed, interrupting Cheng Su's musings.

Turning her head, she saw the astonishment on her mother-in-law's face, along with the schadenfreude of her younger sister-in-law.

What is it? It's the meal, what else could it be?
