Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1154: Chapter 1155: When Will the Big Tiger Be Defanged

The days of June arrived, and Cheng Su’s expectations came true: this month, they still didn’t succeed, and the good days were still arriving on schedule, so Cheng Su’s mood suddenly sank.

However, Qi Taiguo continuously comforted her, saying maybe the Goddess of Childbirth was too busy, so she hadn’t had time to bring them a child yet!

Cheng Su forced a smile. She wanted to conceive at this time, thinking that when the child is born, it wouldn’t be in the sweltering heat of summer. Otherwise, having a child in such a hot summer, doing a confinement month would be utter torture. Nowadays, people do a full month of confinement, without exposure to wind, nor washing hair or bathing. Truly, if in summer they were to be covered up for a month, wouldn’t they all be suffocated and stinky?

So Cheng Su hoped to conceive during this period, but things often go contrary to one’s wishes.

Since the child hadn’t come yet, the only option was to set these thoughts aside for now.

The materials that Cheng Su entrusted Ying Xiaoya to organize were all ready, taken to the bank for negotiations on the loan amount, because Ning Ge and the others also intended to borrow, so naturally, they talked about a larger amount.

On the other hand, Cheng Su made several calls to the Cheng family, hinting at a desire to buy land, to see if they could acquire a suitable plot.

It must be said, Cheng Su just happened to catch this opportune moment, as Guangcheng’s planning aimed at development, and the government was successively releasing several plots of land to attract investment.

The plots meant for investment were huge; Cheng Su had the money to buy land but not enough to develop anything on it immediately—merely wanting to secure the land first.

So after the loan was approved, she had to go to Guangcheng to personally assess the situation.

Ning Ge returned at this point and immediately pulled Qi Taiguo aside for a lengthy conversation, though no one knew what they talked about.

Cheng Su then spoke to him about purchasing land, and that she would go to Guangcheng to have a look.

"In that case, once you set a date, I’ll go with you. Anyway, our family is also interested; it’s a good chance to check out the situation over there," Ning Ge said.

Of course, Cheng Su agreed, as Ning Ge is also the owner of the Jam Company, with a distribution store developing over there, and they should go inspect it.

As for buying land, everyone has a stake, and it wouldn’t be right for her to decide for the Ning family on which one to buy, right?

Therefore, it was good for Ning Ge to go too, so they could support each other.

Qi Taiguo wanted to go see the area as well but couldn’t accompany them because he was heading to Yanjing Military Academy for a half-month course in middle to late June.

"How come I haven’t heard you mention this?" Cheng Su was a bit surprised.

"The meeting was only held today to notify us. This study session is primarily to strengthen weapon knowledge," Qi Taiguo explained.

Cheng Su was very sensitive about Yanjing, knowing it was someone else’s territory, so she asked, "There won’t be any trouble, right?"

"The military academy has strict discipline, and during the study period, you can’t come and go as you please, so don’t worry, there won’t be any major issues!" Qi Taiguo understood what she was worried about and said with a smile.

Cheng Su nodded, but she couldn’t shake an uneasy feeling, possibly because she thought of Chiang Qing’s family living over there.

But she also knew this was unavoidable; study is study, and it couldn’t be skipped just because of someone’s presence.

She sighed again, thinking it would be nice if this big tiger had its teeth pulled out—they’d really be like a toothless tiger then.

Cheng Su didn’t know how Ning Ge and the others had worked hard behind her back to pull the teeth of this great tiger.

And later, when she eventually found out about this, she sighed, pondering that there really is no such thing as poetry and a distant place; it’s just someone behind you taking on the heavy load for you.
