Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 686: Chapter 686: What’s the Next Move If You Have One?

Mother Qi and Mother Cheng, the two old ladies, followed behind Qi Taiguo with apprehension as they entered the house, not daring to utter a word.

Mother Qi felt some urgency in her heart. Had Qi Taiguo seriously considered taking off his military uniform? And that commander, he was too frightening, his eyes looked as if he wanted to devour someone. That was Taiguo’s superior!

Would this cause Taiguo to act out? Would he then have no future?

Mother Qi was somewhat annoyed and regretful. She shouldn’t have listened to her in-law and made trouble for that surnamed Jiang. Now, they hadn’t even received compensation, and she feared they might end up sacrificing her son!

In her eyes, nothing was more important than her son’s future.

Mother Cheng also felt some regret. She had just wanted to stand up for her daughter and the unborn grandchild, but now it seemed like they had stirred up quite a mess. They were just common folks from the countryside, even with a son-in-law who was an army commander, could they really take on someone like that?

Qi Taiguo helped Cheng Su sit down on the sofa, glanced at Qi Fenglian, and said, ”Big sister, it’s almost lunchtime. You should go back to work first!”

Qi Fenglian nodded, glanced at the old ladies, knowing she couldn’t help with this matter.

In the living room, the two old ladies were very restless, Cheng Su and Qi Taiguo exchanged a helpless look.

Mother Cheng was the first to stand up, sheepishly saying, ”Daughter, son-in-law, this, it’s not your mother-in-law’s fault, I was the one who started it by looking for trouble. I, I just wanted to vent for you, but I didn’t expect...”

Mother Qi didn’t expect her in-law to take the blame upon herself and muttered, ”A life for a life, we can’t just let them get off easy!”

Cheng Su gave her mother-in-law a faint look and then turned to her own mother: ”Mom, you’ve been so foolish. How could you just barge in recklessly? What if you had gotten hurt?”

”We won’t get hurt, they aren’t as strong as us; they didn’t harm us at all!” Mother Cheng immediately said.

”Still, you shouldn’t have gone. It was only by coincidence we arrived in time. What if we had been late? We would have had to get you out of jail, right?” Cheng Su said.

Mother Cheng and the others turned pale.

”Let it be, mother-in-law just wanted to stand up for us,” Qi Taiguo spoke.

”You cannot act recklessly. There are some people we are not afraid of, but we can’t afford to offend them to death either!” Cheng Su sighed.

This time, Mother Qi said, ”Now we’ve thoroughly offended them. Taiguo, will this affect you?”

”Yeah! Will you really need to take off your uniform?” Mother Cheng also asked anxiously.

”No, if that were the case, they wouldn’t have let us come back!” Qi Taiguo consoled, ”Don’t worry about this matter anymore, I will handle it.” Mother Qi felt even more anxious and regretful.

Mother Cheng also blamed herself for being too impulsive, especially now that they were not blaming them, she felt even more uncomfortable.

How could it be right for the mistakes they made to fall on the younger ones to bear?

After having the two old ladies tidy up a bit, Qi Taiguo took Cheng Su to rest in the bedroom. Once they lay down, Cheng Su asked, furrowing her brows, ”It looks like we’ve won for now, but Jiang Conghe, he probably won’t let it go, right? Could he seek personal revenge again?”

Hearing that the two old ladies had gone to cause trouble, they were both panicked, worried something might happen to them, and hurried over.

And the moment they saw Jiang Conghe, they knew he was not an easy person to deal with. Especially since he had sought personal revenge before, and this time he had suffered a dumb loss at their hands, he would likely be even angrier!

”Are you scared?” Qi Taiguo asked in return.

Cheng Su paused and shook her head.

”Then that’s fine. I’ve said it before—if worse comes to worst, we can just take off the uniform and go back to farming. Can he really kill us?” Qi Taiguo scoffed, ”We’ve come this far; whatever tricks he has, I’m ready for them!”
