Chapter 1611 - 1612: Deciding
In the bitter cold of winter, the whole family sat around the table, gathered around the hot pot, drinking strong liquor, and enjoying the warm atmosphere.
As the partner of Qi Fenglian, especially after she experienced such a painful marriage before, it was natural to be more cautious with Chu Changxing, fearing that she might repeat the same mistake, jumping from one fire pit straight into another deep hole.
And to give Chu Changxing a good talking to, Qi Taiguo, with his serious demeanor, was most suitable. His stern and earnest expression almost made Chu Changxing fall to his knees and vow his loyalty.
Mother Qi, seeing this, was afraid that her son might scare the son-in-law away, and then Qi Fenglian would be even less willing to seek another partner and might end up living alone. Thinking about it made her feel chilled to the heart, so she smoothed things over and spoke good words, pulling Cheng Su into the room to whisper.
"Taiguo seems fiercer than before, even more domineering, what’s going on? You are his wife, you should persuade him more often, especially toward this superior, he can’t be so bullish."
Cheng Su smiled and agreed.
With both drinks and dishes served, the family enjoyed themselves. Chu Changxing, flushed with wine, left with Qi Fenglian, having barely passed.
They then settled Father Qi and the others at the guesthouse, ready to head to Guangcheng together the next day. After tidying up, Cheng Su sent Xiao Qi to Mother Cheng’s place to sleep, and the couple lay down to talk.
"What do you think of this Chu Changxing?" Cheng Su asked him.
"He isn’t particularly outstanding, nor does he have great ambitions, but he can settle down and live a stable life," Qi Taiguo responded quite fairly.
This was exactly in line with Cheng Su’s view.
Chu Changxing did not have any remarkable traits, and the business lessons Cheng Su discussed with him were basically nothing noteworthy. He merely ran a shop to make a living, without any thoughts of large-scale expansion, having enough to eat and drink, living a plain life was enough.
But precisely because of this, Cheng Su felt that he and Qi Fenglian were quite a good match, because Qi Fenglian herself wasn’t particularly outstanding. If Chu Changxing was very capable and exceptional, could she keep up?
For a marriage to last, the best scenario is actually a couple being well-matched. If the man is too strong and the woman too weak, or vice versa, the distance between them would eventually widen greatly.
Now, Qi Fenglian and this Chu Changxing are quite compatible. He has his own livelihood, his son has grown up, and Qi Fenglian isn’t someone who loves luxury. Just a hardware store, living a life wouldn’t be a problem, and in the future, if she wants to continue working, she can, and if she doesn’t, the two of them can run that hardware store together, which isn’t bad.
Cheng Su then said, "Looking at it this way, those two will settle down quickly." After all, they’re not kids anymore.
Qi Taiguo, sleepy from the alcohol, said, "It’s good to settle down. Big sister has been divorced for two years, and seeing her taking care of two kids by herself is tough. Finding another partner is good. Now, with this Chu Changxing, we don’t expect him to be very wealthy; as long as the two of them can live a peaceful life and manage a shop, it shouldn’t be too hard."
Cheng Su responded with a hmm.
"The most important thing is that she is willing. Remember back then, big sister looked so dispirited that I thought she would never remarry in her life!"
Qi Taiguo slightly opened his eyes and said, "Things have changed, and people’s mindsets certainly change too." He embraced her again and said, "Let’s sleep. We have to go to Guangcheng tomorrow, it’s a long way, don’t end up being too tired."
Cheng Su agreed, pulled the lamp cord, and the couple hugged each other to sleep.
