Chapter 527: Chapter 527: It Turns Out that the Mother-in-law Dug a Big Pit

Cheng Su was indeed that unlucky, and luckily her mother had given her a heads-up before she had come, otherwise she would have been completely caught off guard.

This aunt, what should she be called? Cheng Su thought for a moment. Ah, her father’s eldest brother’s wife, so that would make her Great Aunt.

"I heard you’re running a big business now. Look at your sister, she’s grown up. You know, girls don’t need to study that much. Besides, our family is poor; we can’t afford her education. It’s better for her to start working. Susu, do you think you could arrange some sort of job for her?" the Great Aunt said, pointing to a girl next to her.

Cheng Su looked over, and the girl, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, kept staring at Qi Taiguo with wide eyes, practically sprouting little hearts.

Cheng Su coughed, and when the girl looked her way, her face turned red and she cast her eyes down.

This girl, she seemed to be called Cheng Dahua!

Cheng Su smiled and said, "I’m not running any big business, just a small restaurant, and we have enough staff right now, not hiring more."

The Great Aunt became anxious as soon as she heard this, "But that can’t be all, I heard you also have a factory? Factories always need people, right?"

Cheng Su felt a wave of annoyance, asking, "Great Aunt, where did you hear that from?"

"Where else could it be from? Of course, it’s your mother-in-law who said it. Not to mention our Myrica Rubra Village, but the whole Huangtian Village probably knows by now. Your mother-in-law was boasting about how her daughter-in-law in the city is doing big business and it wouldn’t be a problem to arrange a job!" the Great Aunt said. "Susu, I’m not talking about others, but Dahua is also a sister from your side of the family, you should be able to arrange something, right?"

Cheng Su scoffed quietly and casually glanced over at Qi Taiguo.

Who else could it be but the mother-in-law who had dug her a huge pit to fall into!

Qi Taiguo was drinking tea, listening to the Great Aunt’s remarks and feeling the killing intent in Cheng Su’s gaze. He felt very uneasy, pretended not to hear, but couldn’t help resenting his mother inside.

They say you shouldn’t show off wealth, and his mother usually knew that best of all. Why had she started broadcasting it now!

"Great Aunt, it’s not that I can’t arrange it, but we really do have enough people for now and don’t need any more workers," Cheng Su certainly didn’t dare hire the girl whose eyes kept darting towards her brother-in-law.

She glanced at the time on her watch, stood up, and said, "Great Aunt, you see, I still need to visit my second and third aunts to give my New Year’s greetings. I’m going to head over there first!"

The Great Aunt’s expression turned sour.

She had watched Cheng Su grow up and this was the first time she has asked her for something, but Cheng Su wasn’t playing along. Cheng Su’s high and mighty attitude left her feeling stifled and annoyed.

"Go ahead, I understand that my home’s too humble," the Great Aunt said with a biting edge.

Implying that her home couldn’t accommodate such a grand presence.

Cheng Su also looked somewhat displeased. Who had she provoked? Here she was, paying a New Year’s visit out of filial piety, and not only didn’t she receive a good word, but she was also met with disdain and revulsion.

She was sure that as soon as she stepped out the door, the Great Aunt would spread around how unfriendly she was.

Cheng Su and Qi Taiguo walked out of the Great Aunt’s house. They accepted all the New Year’s money given to them, but upon leaving, not a single person saw them out, all because Cheng Su refused the job arrangement.

"Susu..." Qi Taiguo tried to smile apologetically.

Cheng Su glared at him and said, "Your mom really knows how to create problems for me. Arranging a job is ’no trouble at all.’ I didn’t even know she could talk that big!"

Having said this, she stormed off with angry strides.

Qi Taiguo, feeling guilty, braced himself and followed.
