Chapter 530: Chapter 530: It’s All the Mother-in-law Looking for Trouble

After lunch at Third Uncle’s home and chatting for a while, Cheng Su and Qi Taiguo finally left and headed back to her parents’ house.

"Aren’t you really annoyed with relatives asking you to arrange jobs? Why did you then volunteer to suggest that Third Uncle take on the renovation work?" Qi Taiguo didn’t understand and said, "Also, didn’t you say you would ask your brother-in-law to do it?"

Cheng Su stopped in her tracks and said, "Asking your brother-in-law is one thing; besides, we don’t even know if he wants to do it. Your brother-in-law is your brother-in-law, and Third Uncle is Third Uncle; of course, I could let him do it!"

Qi Taiguo clicked his tongue, "Look at you, I didn’t mean that at all, I didn’t say he couldn’t go!"

Cheng Su scoffed coldly, "Don’t even start. I’m still annoyed about it. You see what your mother has dragged me into. Just wait and see, someone will surely say that I’m heartless."

"That’s right, so why did you only allow your Third Uncle..." Qi Taiguo found it strange that she refused everyone else but voluntarily suggested Third Uncle go.

"Look and see, other than my Third Uncle’s family, what have the other families done? Have Third Uncle and Third Aunt ever brought up asking me to arrange this? Do you not see what kind of person Third Aunt is?" said Cheng Su.

Qi Taiguo fell silent.

In Cheng Su’s Third Uncle’s family, not a single one was a pain.

Therefore, Cheng Su was willing to help, and besides, this was her own blood-related Third Uncle. If she could help her husband’s Elder Sister, why couldn’t she help her own Third Uncle from her maternal family?

If the Qi family had anything to say, she had plenty of justifications ready at hand.

Helping people also depended on who the other person was; Cheng Su wasn’t about to make herself uncomfortable.

Take, for example, Big Flower from the maternal side of the family hall: A young girl, always staring at her cousin’s man, does she have no shame at all?

Or take Second Aunt’s son Dongzi: Claims he only manages things, pah! Who does he think he is, daring to overstep with her!

Of course, Qi Taiguo wasn’t about to say Third Uncle couldn’t go. He said, "But if you arrange it just for Third Uncle, aren’t you afraid others will talk even more?"

Cheng Su sneered, "Who am I afraid of? What do I owe them? They say to arrange it, and I arrange it? What benefit do I have? As for their talk, let them talk. Will I lose a piece of flesh?"

"You’re not afraid, so why blame Mom?" Qi Taiguo muttered.

Cheng Su gave him a cold look, "That’s a separate matter. As they say, less trouble is better than more. If it weren’t for her big mouth, would people be gossiping about me? This is creating issues out of nothing!"

"Alright, alright, everything’s my fault!"

"It’s not your fault, it’s your mother’s. Hey, I just don’t get it, she clings to every cent as if afraid thieves are eyeing it, so why so eager to show off this time? Isn’t this just announcing, ’I have money, the Qi family has money?" Cheng Su was also puzzled by Mother Qi’s actions.

But whatever she did, it was never quite right, obviously just creating trouble for her.

Qi Taiguo tried to please her, "You’re capable, maybe Mom was just so happy and proud that she blurted it out. Old folks, you know, if they have something good or something to boast about, naturally they want others to envy them, right? Even me, I want to tell others how capable and virtuous my wife is!"

"Just listen to you, earlier you complained that I only focused on work and couldn’t even cook a meal for you to eat!" Cheng Su brought up old grievances.

Qi Taiguo immediately said, "That was my nonsense in the past, my wife, let’s turn over a new leaf, shall we? With the New Year coming up, shall we have a good celebration?"

Hearing his soft tone, Cheng Su sighed. She felt a fire burning inside her, but she couldn’t vent it all on Qi Taiguo. What annoyed her the most was her mother-in-law creating problems for no reason at all.
