Chapter 543: Chapter 543 Openly Losing Face of Mother-in-law
Cheng Suxin felt resistant to these job arrangements, especially after those few encounters at her parents’ house, all thanks to her mother-in-law.
Now she continued to play nice and fritter away her patience, but Cheng Su was not one with a good temper, and now she was on the brink of exploding.
Mother Qi’s face stretched long, and Cheng Su pretended not to see it.
"You say come work in my shop and you just come, once is enough, but to keep trying to push people over here, this isn’t a shelter."
Qi Taiguo saw that Cheng Su’s face looked displeased and turned to ask Deng Weixia, "Weixia, what can you do? What are you good at? When I go back, I’ll see if I can make some arrangements?"
Deng Weixia cleared his throat, glanced at this imposing cousin, then lowered his head again, his voice very small, "I, I don’t know."
In fact, he didn’t want to leave home and go so far away.
But he dared not say it!
Seeing his quail-like timidity, Qi Taiguo frowned, as a man should not be so cowardly.
Cheng Su watched, even more displeased, a man, shrinking back, what did it look like, how could he achieve anything great?
"What do you want to do?" Qi Taiguo asked again.
Deng Weixia raised his head again and shook it.
Qi Taiguo was speechless.
Seeing this, the aunt said, "It doesn’t matter what, as long as he can eat an imperial grain, that’s good enough, just looking for stability, no worries about having nothing to eat in the future."
"I’ll see what I can do when I go back," Qi Taiguo said.
"Who can you rely on in the army? You have to send favors too. In my opinion, why not just arrange something at your wife’s place and be done with it, why bother seeking far and wide?" Mother Qi glared at Cheng Su, her face still hopeful.
"Mom, her place is just a restaurant, do you want Weixia to wait tables?" Qi Taiguo spoke up before Cheng Su, knowing well that Cheng Su was close to erupting.
Mother Qi became frustrated, after all the talking, her son was still siding with Cheng Su, not willing to help.
"Not waiting tables, doing something else is fine too. Besides, aren’t you, the older daughter-in-law, going to open another branch? If you’re not using the old restaurant, you’ll need people for the new one, right? And there’s that factory; I can’t believe you can’t fit one more person there." Mother Qi said.
The aunt’s eyes flickered; this daughter-in-law of the Taiguo family was so capable, opening one shop after another, how big was her business?
And Liu Wenjing was also surprised, unable to tell that this young cousin-in-law was so capable, truly admirable.
Cheng Su lifted her eyelids and said, "Mom, my shop has already hired enough people, and I’m not planning to hire more for the time being, so I can’t arrange anything. Though if I really had to, it wouldn’t be impossible." She said this, and her tone shifted, "It’s just that I would have to make the older sister’s position available."
An uncle can endure, but an aunt cannot; if she endured any more, they would step all over her. Now, I give you a choice, between your nephew or your own daughter, take your pick.
The outright refusal made Mother Qi feel a burning humiliation, especially in front of her own older sister; to be defied like this by her daughter-in-law was a blow to her pride.
Look at the daughter-in-law in her older sister’s house, quiet and obedient, at just one glance from the older sister, she dares not speak further. What about her own daughter-in-law?
Almost like a load-bearing pillar!
And her way of putting it, forcing her to choose, was clearly intentional.
Just as she was about to speak, the aunt cut in ahead of her, "Taiguo, I’m sorry to trouble you." She paused then added, "Our family’s fate isn’t good, Weidong is gone, and Weixia is the only pillar we have left. Outsiders are not reliable, and you cousins are directly related, so we can only rely on you to lend a hand."
What a covert admonishment!
Cheng Su snorted coldly; this was calling her an outsider, but indeed, she was not wrong, she really is an outsider to them.
She stood up and said, "Aunt, please take your time, I, the niece-in-law, will go down first."
