Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1612 - 1613: No Way to Control the Daughter-in-Law Anymore

It’s all because the in-laws suddenly suggested going to Guangcheng together, so they bought two additional train tickets. A group of several people boarded the train to Guangcheng.

Mother Qi’s leg was still not well, she walked with a limp and couldn’t walk fast. Afraid of the strange looks from others, she usually sat down, and to make it convenient for the whole family to be in one compartment, Cheng Su simply spent more money to book a small compartment ticket, making the journey lively.

”This is the first time I’ve gone so far. Hey, Su, do you think the Cheng family invited your Third Uncle?” Father Cheng said excitedly.

Before Cheng Su could answer, Mother Cheng said, ”Lao San called before, saying he was invited. Perfect, let him and Cheng Zhi come to have a drink together.”

Mother Qi was taken aback: ”They even invited your family’s Lao San?”

Her heart was uneasy; the Cheng family inviting Susu’s biological parents was understandable, given that Cheng Su is their goddaughter, but inviting the Third Uncle, who was more distantly connected?

Seeing Qi mother’s envy, Mother Cheng couldn’t help but boast, ”Of course, they invited him. The Cheng family is large and wealthy, holding a multi-day banquet is nothing to them. Our Lao San is Susu’s biological third uncle too; we’re all relatives.”

Mother Qi felt a bit embarrassed.

Cheng Su said, ”After Third Uncle went to Guangcheng, he received a lot of help from my Fourth Brother. Third Uncle reciprocates, sending gifts during festivals, and they’ve grown familiar over time. Now, it’s not surprising to invite him for the wedding. Besides, Third Uncle might have future business dealings with the Cheng family!”

The Cheng family wanted to develop real estate, and Third Uncle Cheng, being shrewd and clever, already managed to secure some renovation projects from the Cheng family.

Mother Qi felt even more uncomfortable upon hearing this, saying, ”Your family’s Lao San is quite fortunate.” She glanced at Cheng Su, thinking, this daughter-in-law supports her natal family; surely she’s the one paving the way for Cheng Lao San to reach this stage. How else could he connect with such wealthy people as the Cheng family?

She recalled last year when Cheng Su was borrowing money from the bank, she herself went to the Cheng family to hold them accountable. Those young Cheng boys, like young calves, were fiercely ready to back their sister, truly united.

Mother Qi had to admit, the Cheng family is genuinely united and protective of their daughter.

But certainly, they protect her because of the benefits Cheng Su brings them. Could they not protect her?

Listening further, the Cheng family seems to be rising; Cheng Su’s stature is growing more solid, not only her biological brothers support her, but also the god-kins, who are rumored to be all sons, including brothers and now sons too, giving her strong backing.

Mother Qi pondered this, increasingly realizing Cheng Su was not someone easy to deal with. She couldn’t control this daughter-in-law anymore; she had unknowingly climbed to an unapproachable height.

With wealth and connections, these are her strengths, while Mother Qi, aside from the title of mother-in-law, lacked anything to compete with her. Even with her son, now it seemed the son was already swayed by her; even if the son favored her, she’d be upset, ultimately contacting a chain of brothers to deal with it. Would Qi Taiguo be okay?

Thinking of this, Mother Qi pursed her lips, eyes complicated.

Some people just have good luck, isn’t Cheng Su one of them?

Her gaze fell on the Qi Xiaoqi in her arms, and she immediately softened; this precious darling is a Qi family member. His mother’s luck is his too, and in the future, everything of hers would be her grandson’s, right?

Never mind, considering the grandson, she decided to endure.
