Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1653 - 1654: Only Time Reveals a Person’s True Heart

The elder sister is remarried now, has her own little family, and Cheng Su is just happy for her. Thinking about the current brother-in-law, he’s also running a small business, so will Qi Fenglian join him in managing the business together as a couple?

Cheng Su isn’t a shy person and asked directly.

"Your family also has a shop, is brother-in-law managing it alone now? Is there enough manpower, do you plan to help with it in the future?"

Qi Fenglian said, "The shop isn’t big, he manages it alone. If there’s something to fix, he just locks the door and leaves."

"What if someone wants to buy something and can’t find anyone there?" Cheng Su asked in surprise.

"That’s exactly it." Qi Fenglian said, somewhat embarrassed, "So, I might have to go back to help. He did say that if I work here, that’s fine too, as he can lock up and go help with repairs."

"If that’s the case, the business will surely suffer. Why didn’t brother-in-law hire someone to help before? Even a part-timer would help!" Cheng Su said with a smile.

"He said if he hired a worker, he’d have to pay a high salary, even higher than what he earns." Qi Fenglian replied, "If I’m there, I could help manage the shop and cook meals too, it would be convenient!"

"So, sister, how long will you work here? You better let me know in advance, don’t leave me short-staffed and run off." Cheng Su said jokingly.

Qi Fenglian glared playfully, "Do you think I’d do that? Don’t worry, I’ll wait till you’re fully staffed before I leave."

Cheng Su giggled, sincerely saying, "Seeing how relaxed you look now, we are really relieved. It shows a woman truly needs a man to rely on!"

Qi Fenglian blushed and mockingly scolded her, "You’re teasing me again!"

The sisters-in-law bantered happily as time flew by.

In the evening, Cheng Su talked to Qi Taiguo about Qi Fenglian’s situation, and he relaxed his brow, saying, "As long as she’s happy!"

Seeing his expression like a big burden had been lifted, Cheng Su couldn’t help but chuckle, "You look like you’re watching a daughter finally settle down well!"

Qi Taiguo laughed too, then added, "Our sister has had it tough, I won’t even mention the past. You saw how they treated her when you first married into the family, didn’t you? And what happened later, her life was hard. Now that she’s escaped that, how could I, her brother, not feel relieved?"

Cheng Su laughed and said, "According to her, her stepson isn’t difficult to get along with. He doesn’t mind her joining the family or controlling the finances."

Someone like Chu Zheng, who’s eighteen or nineteen years old, is already sensible. If they were a bit more selfish or ruthless, they wouldn’t want their parent to remarry, as remarriage could mean a cut in their own benefits and inheritance.

After all, the family assets originally belonged entirely to them, and now they have to share a portion, who would be willing?

Hence, many people prevent their parents from remarrying, regardless of their loneliness!

But the kid from the Chu family isn’t like that, which is commendable.

"It’s just beginning now, let’s wait and see. In the long run, only then will the true nature of people be revealed. If he’s truly good and filial, we can lend a hand. If not... humph!" Qi Taiguo said fiercely.

Cheng Su thought the same, saying, "Truly farsighted people know how to behave and handle things. Let’s hope he doesn’t turn out to be another Zhang Jisheng. They’re coming back home for the New Year, we’ll see what he’s like then."

Time reveals a person’s true nature. If the Chu family is pretending, as long as the Qi family is strong, there’s no need to fear for the elder sister being at a disadvantage. We can surely support her and her daughters.
