Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1325: Chapter 1326: Visiting the Daughter’s Family for News

Qi Fengping was secretly taken to the hospital to have the child aborted. She stayed in the hospital for two days and was discreetly brought back home in the evening. But how big can a village be? Rumors grew more and more intense, even reaching Cheng Su’s family in Xiashui Village.

Mother Cheng sent the younger brother to call Cheng Su back, saying there was something she needed to bring home.

Cheng Su informed Qi Taiguo that she was going back to her parents’ house. Qi Taiguo, who hadn’t seen his in-laws for a while, decided to accompany her.

As soon as they left, Mother Qi’s face darkened. Taking something home was clearly just an excuse; they probably wanted to inquire about the matter. She wanted to curse, but knowing she was in the wrong, she refrained from staying in the yard and hurried back inside to avoid losing face in front of others.

Mother Qi wasn’t wrong; Mother Cheng was indeed using this as a pretext to find out about the Qi family’s situation. After all, the rumors were too unpleasant.

She greeted her son-in-law and let Father Cheng chat with him while she pulled Cheng Su into a room to ask what was going on.

Cheng Su had already prepared herself for this interrogation. There was nothing she couldn’t tell her own mother, so she explained everything in detail.

"What a sin, this is truly shameful!" Mother Cheng slapped her thigh.

"Mom, keep your voice down, Taiguo is outside!" Cheng Su wished she could cover her mother’s mouth.

Mother Cheng sheepishly lowered her voice and said, "We’ve been hearing these rumors for days. Your dad even had a few arguments with people but couldn’t just brazenly go to the Qi family to ask. That’s why we called your brother to bring you back. I didn’t expect it to be true. It’s really shameful. I thought that girl was just getting fat, but it turned out..."

Cheng Su sighed, "No matter how embarrassing, it’s out now."

"That’s true," Mother Cheng sighed too, asking, "So it’s already been taken care of?"

Cheng Su nodded.

Mother Cheng immediately clasped her hands together, chanting a few phrases of Amitabha and the rebirth sutra, before finally saying, "It’s done then. From what you say, the Zhou family isn’t a good place anyway, marrying there would be useless."

Cheng Su nodded gloomily, sneering, "My mother-in-law doesn’t think that way. She just believes it’s good if someone wants them, not caring if it’s a pit of fire. As for the idea of us raising the child, if she insists on that, I won’t support raising the child. Let them do as they please, let the mother and daughter make a fuss!"

People are selfish. If Mother Qi really insists, Cheng Su won’t care anymore, no matter how pitiable they are!

"Your mother-in-law, how could she come up with such a lousy idea? Raising the child until they’re grown only to have them think of you two merely as the uncle and aunt, and even calling your sister-in-law ’mom’ - that’d be raising them for nothing!" Mother Cheng clicked her tongue.

Cheng Su kept silent with a sullen face.

"Alright, now the child is taken care of, don’t argue with your mother-in-law over this anymore!" Mother Cheng glanced at her stomach, changing the subject, "Now, this year, shouldn’t you also have a child?"

"Yeah," Cheng Su said, "Taiguo isn’t young anymore, and my business is stable now - working on it!"

"That’s good. It’s best for a woman to have a child as soon as possible, preferably a boy, then your mother-in-law won’t have anything to say!" Mother Cheng advised.

Cheng Su opened her mouth to speak but ended up not mentioning that despite their efforts, nothing had happened yet, to avoid making her worried about whether she could have children. She just nodded in agreement.
