Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 58: Chapter 58 Going on a Mission

Cheng Su hadn’t found a job that suited her, and ever since she realized she was living in an era of struggle and effort, she had extinguished the idea of working for others; she was determined to do her own business and fight her own battles.

Therefore, she wouldn’t miss the current opportunity, and as for not having enough money?

She pursed her lips and her gaze fell upon the gold ring her mother-in-law had given her, as well as the pair of silver bracelets in the box, and other cherished belongings she had brought with her in the cabinet.

When she had just returned, she had already asked Chunhua and the others where there were pawnshops or gold shops in Qing City.

That’s right, she had set her sights on her dowry.

Since ancient times, women have had tough lives; pawning and selling their dowries to sustain their household was not uncommon—now it was her turn, and she didn’t see why she couldn’t do the same.

Indeed, the pawnshop—that restaurant she wanted to take over, she had a rough idea about how much money Taiguo had; he had only given her fifty yuan before, and it seemed a little embarrassing to ask him for more.

So Cheng Su thought of this; there were still pawnshops around these days, wasn’t it possible for her to pawn her belongings for some money?

She opened the cabinet, took out the bottle of precious perfume, and then the silk dress hanging there, reaching out her fingers felt like something was boiling and erupting inside her, rampaging around.

No, she couldn’t pawn them—they were hers, her dress and her perfume, all hers.

”Get a grip on yourself,” Cheng Su growled softly, ”even if I have to sell or pawn them today, in the future I’m sure I will be able to buy back a dozen, a hundred of them.” She caressed the silky smooth texture and murmured to herself.

She needed to gather the full amount of the transfer fee to take over the shop. She needed the money here, and it seemed unreliable to count on Taiguo; she could only rely on herself to find a way. It was the only way.

When she decided to do something, she would definitely give it her all; if she still couldn’t achieve her desire, then it must be destined not to happen.

Touching the silky feel of the dress, she swore that in the future, she would wear such dresses in rotation every month, with no repeats every day.

As for the ring on her hand, she would buy one that was twice as heavy.

Cheng Su gritted her teeth, wrapped everything up, and planned to exchange them the following day.

However, she also needed to have a word with Taiguo. As the saying went, a married couple should act as one and make decisions together. Besides, since a lot of the money was given by him, she should at least inform him.

With that thought, Cheng Su calmed down, left the room to start cooking, and waited for Taiguo to return.

But as it grew dark, there was still no sign of him. Could it be that he was on duty again today, with no rest?

Seeing Dahe pass by the door, she hurried out to ask him, ”Is Old Qi on duty today?”

Dahe was startled and then said, ”No, Commander Qi has a mission. Didn’t he tell you, sister-in-law?”

Cheng Su was taken aback—on a mission?

He had left for a mission without a word to her? What a jerk!

Haven’t they agreed to keep each other informed about such matters?

Inside, Cheng Su was furious, but she couldn’t say anything in front of Dahe, and simply said, ”He didn’t say, it must have been quite urgent, he didn’t even come home!”

Dahe gave a sound of acknowledgment and said, ”It’s okay, it happens that sometimes missions come up suddenly and there’s no time to inform.”

Cheng Su forced a smile, closed the door, and her face fell.

What a jerk—no time to come home, but he could have sent someone to give a message. He didn’t even think of that—did it mean he didn’t care, or had she overestimated her own importance?

”Fine then, I’ll make my move first and report later; you can’t have any complaints!” Cheng Su huffed.
