Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98: Chapter 98 Greetings

Cheng Su had finished cooking dinner and set the table by the time Qi Taiguo finally came home.

After he washed up, the two of them sat down at the dining table, and Cheng Su told him about Platoon Leader Chen moving in.

"Platoon Leader Chen and his wife have been living apart for a long time, so he has always been staying in the barracks. It wasn’t until this year that he applied for his wife to come over to the city hospital. He filed a report, and only then did they move next to us," Qi Taiguo explained.

"She’s finally coming to stay with him now that he’s a platoon leader? Shouldn’t he have been assigned quarters a long time ago? Why did he only file a report now?" Cheng Su wondered aloud, picking up a slice of roasted meat for him.

"He was assigned quarters, but originally they were not here, they were at the Southeast Ladder," Qi Taiguo said, looking at the meat in his bowl. "I can pick for myself, you eat!"

Cheng Su found it even stranger: "If he had a place at the Southeast Ladder, why move here?"

"Southeast Ladder 210 used to be lived in by Shen Zhen, a platoon leader from the previous third company. His wife got sick and passed away in that room. Hearing this, Hualing absolutely refused to live there, claiming it was bad luck. She wouldn’t move in until the house was exchanged. That’s why it took so long, for the housing swap to take place and for the couple to finally live together, you see?"

So there was this background story—Hualing feared the house was cursed!

Cheng Su laughed: "With the iron-blooded nature of you military folks, what sort of evil spirits could you not subdue? She’s even a college graduate, and yet she clings to feudal superstitions!"

Qi Taiguo’s face darkened slightly, and he chastised her gently, "Don’t spread rumors. She did, after all, receive higher education, and she’s a nurse working in a hospital. Not what you call feudal superstition."

His wife, always so relentless with her words.

"But you just said she received higher education and is a nurse at the hospital. She must have seen plenty of dead people, so why believe in these superstitions?" Cheng Su scoffed lightly.

Anyway, thinking about Hualing’s haughty attitude and her disdainful treatment of herself, she couldn’t help but feel disgruntled.
