Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Go With the Army

As soon as Father Qi said this, the two who were at odds glanced at each other, both seeing surprise and astonishment in the other’s eyes.

So she’s going to Qing City with him just like that?

"Dad, is it because she’s causing trouble at home?" Qi Taiguo’s first reaction was to think that Cheng Su had caused problems at home and had fallen out of favor. Therefore, his gaze carried a warning as he glared at Cheng Su.

Cheng Su rolled her eyes and glared back; she couldn’t shoulder such a big blame.

"Nonsense, what trouble? You’ve just got married; it’s not good to live in separate places. You’re there and you always need someone to cook for you, even if you usually eat at the cafeteria. You’ll still need a supper, right?" Father Qi laughed and said, "You’re married now; you make your own life. Having your wife accompany you in the military, you’ll keep each other company. If anything comes up, you can discuss and decide together."

Qi Taiguo stopped talking and silently picked up his bowl of porridge and took a sip.

Seeing him seemingly unwilling, Cheng Su spoke up, "Dad, if it’s not convenient for Taiguo, I can go by myself!"

Qi Taiguo looked up and glared at her.

Cheng Su responded with an equally defiant glare.

"Didn’t you also say you wanted to look for a job or something? Since you’re both going anyway, why split it into two trips? Go together, you can take care of each other on the way, and you don’t have to go there and blindly search by yourself!" Father Qi wouldn’t let her argue and said, "Alright, have your breakfast, then pack up and go with Taiguo."

Qi Taiguo wanted to say something but ended up keeping his mouth shut.

Seeing this, Cheng Su could only respond with an "Okay."

Father Qi watched their reactions, feeling somewhat anxious in his heart, but soon he had a change of heart.

It was exactly because they were not together that they couldn’t communicate and understand each other. Once they started living together, affection would grow over time, and they would gradually come to love each other!

After all, isn’t love something that is cultivated?

With this thought, his frown eased. The two were the eldest son and daughter-in-law of the family. The family’s future relied on them. He hoped for their happiness because a happy couple meant a thriving family.

"...In married life, you need to discuss matters and make compromises with each other. Taiguo, as a man, you should be considerate to your wife and not always act high and mighty, as if you are the lord of the house. She’s come to be your wife!" Father Qi patiently advised his son.

Cheng Su kept her head down, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.

Qi Taiguo caught her smile and snorted, saying, "As long as she doesn’t cross my boundaries, I, of course, won’t nitpick her."

Cheng Su raised her head indignantly and replied with a smile, "The feeling is mutual!"

Mother Qi, not liking what she was seeing, admonished Cheng Su, saying, "As a man works to earn for the family, you as his wife should know how to cherish him. If a man comes home to a cold meal and has to cook and wash clothes himself, then it’s a failure on your part as a wife, understand?"

Cheng Su replied, "I will also look for a job and make money." And she was confident she would make a lot of money.

Mother Qi was dissatisfied with her response and wanted to say more, but Father Qi interjected, saying, "In any case, from now on, you should discuss and live your life together. Don’t always be bickering. Remember, harmony in the family leads to prosperity in all things."

"Yes." Cheng Su was quite willing to listen to her father-in-law’s words, as they were fair.

Qi Taiguo, seeing her hypocritical expression, scornfully bit into his flatbread, she sure could put on an act.

Since the decision had been made, Cheng Su hurriedly went to pack her things, as time was limited. She also entrusted her father-in-law to stop by her parents’ house when he had time to let them know she was going with the military.

Once everything was ready, she and Qi Taiguo went to the hospital to visit Fenglian.
