Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 700: Chapter 700 You Did a Good Deed!

Grief, anger, all kinds of indescribable emotions swept over Cheng Su, as if these unspeakable tendrils were tightly choking her throat, making it impossible for her to breathe.

She couldn’t imagine, nor did she dare to imagine, how someone could be so despicable, so low, to scheme and design things just to achieve their own ends.

Is this what a family is?

Ha ha, Cheng Su cried and laughed at the same time, repeatedly pounding her chest.

Where was this any kind of family? They were clearly villains.

Using a needle to burst ***—such a clichéd plot, she thought only existed in TV dramas and novels, yet never expected that one day, it would happen to her.

It was too ridiculous!

Anger surged through her limbs, and Cheng Su’s tears flooded like a deluge.

If not for her, how could she have suffered so? How could she have lost her first child so inadvertently?

The child, her own flesh and blood, was now gone, vanished into the cold machinery.

Cheng Su lay on the bed, crying so hard that she couldn’t catch her breath, beside herself with grief.

In the other room, Mother Cheng and Mother Qi were preparing lunch. Seeing the steamed egg on the table, Mother Qi felt a sour pang in her heart and said, ”How many eggs did you use to steam this custard? It’s too rich!”

Mother Cheng’s heart skipped a beat and she responded with a laugh, ”Not many, just two or three. I just thought, the more nutritious, the better for Susu to recover quickly and have a big, healthy grandson for us in the future! Don’t you agree, in-law mother?”

Mother Qi pursed her lips with a sour tone, ”These young people nowadays, they are so much more precious than in our time. Back then, not to mention losing a child, even after having a child, we didn’t have much to eat. We couldn’t even rest a full month after giving birth before we had to work in the fields!”

Was she blaming herself for making too good a meal for her daughter?

Mother Cheng felt a wave of nausea in her heart, thinking to herself that she didn’t use your money to eat. In this household, her daughter was the one earning more!

With this in mind, she said, ”Yes, back then, we didn’t have anything to eat, we were poor. What was there to eat? It’s the same now, but fortunately, our Susu is capable and can earn money. Even if we eat a few more eggs, we can afford it.”

Mother Qi gave her a sideways glance and smirked inwardly, knowing well that your daughter is good at business; no need to mention it in front of me.

The two mothers-in-law kept bickering, when Qi Taiguo returned with a bunch of fresh roses in his hand, the flowers still wet with water, looking tender and beautiful.

Mother Qi frowned at the sight and asked, ”Where did these flowers come from?”

Qi Taiguo was in high spirits, feeling relieved with the troublesome person gone from the house; he had gone out to buy a bunch of flowers to give to Cheng Su to cheer her up.

”I bought them, Susu likes them,” Qi Taiguo smiled and asked, ”Where is she?”

Upon hearing that he had spent money on something inedible, Mother Qi stumbled a step and bellowed, ”What? Where did you learn this trick? If you have spare money, you should save it, not waste it on these worthless flowers. You can’t eat or drink them; that money would’ve been better spent on a few eggs!”

Mother Cheng, however, was thoroughly pleased. Her son-in-law knew how to make her daughter happy, and of course, she was only too happy about it. Although she also felt the pinch of money, when it was for her daughter, she wouldn’t care!

Qi Taiguo paid no mind and said, ”It’s not worth much, as long as she likes it. I’ll take it to the room.”

Mother Qi’s face grew long and sour.

Just as Qi Taiguo approached the room door, it was flung open from the inside.

Cheng Su rushed out, bumping into him and making him stumble, flowers falling and petals scattering.

He paused in shock, only to see Cheng Su march up to Mother Qi and slam something down in front of her, ”Your fine work!”
