If Feng Cheng was still clueless and were to do something inappropriate to add on to his troubles, Shi Peng was reluctant to continue to tolerate it.
“Shi Peng, what do you mean? Do you want to divorce me?” The couple had been living in separate places for so many years. Feng Cheng felt that she had always been a good wife and had never done anything that let Shi Peng down. She had also never thought of getting a divorce.
To her surprise, Shi Peng dared to voice out something that she had not even thought about. “Shi Peng, confess honestly. I’ve not been by your side for such a long time. Are you seeing someone else outside?”
“…”
“…”
Even Shi Qing frowned, failing to comprehend this, let alone Shi Peng. “Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? Dad is not that kind of person. Why would he do such a thing? Dad, you should know Mom’s temper too. You are aware that Mom has a one-track mind. Be patient when you tell her things. If she doesn’t get it, just keep a watch on her. Why did you have to say such things? Aren’t you afraid that Mom may create a greater disaster when you provoke her?”
Shi Peng was quite angry earlier but he smiled when he heard Shi Qing’s slick words. “Oh, you’ve improved.”
“Of course!” Shi Qing said proudly. “Do you think I have been wasting my time at PLA National Defence University during the past six months? You have to know. Although I entered PLA National Defence University later, I am still an outstanding student.” When she mentioned this, Shi Qing’s chin lifted even more.
In terms of devising ploys and strategies, Shi Qing and Feng Cheng’s relationship was reversed. Shi Qing was Feng Cheng’s ‘senior’.
Now, Shi Qing was able to understand the arrangements and ploys that the Feng family had for Feng Cheng.
In Shi Qing’s opinion, Feng Cheng had lived most of her life in a muddleheaded way. Furthermore, the Feng family’s education of Feng Cheng was too successful. It would not be easy to correct Feng Cheng.
Instead of making everyone suffer whereby the outcome might not be good, they might as well allow Feng Cheng to maintain her current state.
Her mother was clueless about everything. Nevertheless, wasn’t she simple and happy?
As long as her mother felt that she was having a good life, it did not matter what the truth was.
In short, similar to the Feng family, Shi Peng was willing to continue to ‘dote’ on Feng Cheng so that she will always be simple and happy.
“Qing Qing, is that how you talk to Mom?” No matter how simple Feng Cheng was, she could tell that her daughter was underestimating her.
Shi Qing sat beside Feng Cheng and hugged her arms. “Mom, don’t get angry. Didn’t grandpa and grandma always teach you that these are all men’s matters? You just have to let Dad handle them. Won’t that do? Mom, didn’t you say that you will stay in Ping Cheng this year to keep Dad and me company? Why don’t we do this? Tomorrow, I will go shopping for recipe books. When you are not around, Dad doesn’t take his meals regularly. His health suffers easily. With you around, Dad will have a health housekeeper. You can feed him until he is fair and chubby.”
If she did not assign something for her mother to do, the latter’s thoughts might go astray.
“This matter…” To Feng Cheng, who did not have the habit of doing household chores at all, taking care of Shi Peng’s daily three meals was still an arduous and major task. She had to learn everything from scratch. Fortunately, Feng Cheng still remembered that she was Shi Peng’s wife. “Fine. In the future, I will take care of your dad by his side. I will definitely nourish his health.”
Shi Qing’s eyes swirled with thoughts. “Mom, reading culinary books won’t take up too much of your time. Besides preparing meals, what are you going to do? It is too boring to be alone. Why don’t we ask Dad to find some easy jobs for you to do?”
“You want me to go out and work?” Feng Cheng, who had never cooked before in her entire life, had just decided that she was willing to try to be a good and virtuous wife. Now, her daughter gave another suggestion that had never come to her mind before.
Shi Peng glanced at Shi Qing. He was well aware of his daughter’s thoughts. He then sang the same tune as Shi Qing. “Qing Qing is right. It is already the 21st century. When Chairman Mao was alive, he said that women can hold up half the sky and become very successful too. It is also a new experience for you to take on a job. Of course, if you feel that it is not suitable for you or you are not used to it, you can always stop working.”
Shi Qing held on to Feng Cheng’s arm affectionately. “Dad, you have to find a relaxing job for Mom. She has not worked before in her whole life. I just want her to experience life. I don’t approve of her doing something too arduous. What if it tires her out?”
Shi Qing did not mention that Feng Cheng did not have the skills to take on difficult jobs. She only said that her heart would ache for Feng Cheng if it was too tiring for the latter. Feng Cheng felt so loved by Shi Qing’s caring manners. “Qing Qing, don’t worry. Mom is not so useless. Whether the job is easy or not, as long as I am determined to do it, I don’t need your dad to take care of me.”
Fine. Since Qing Qing had suggested that she take on a job, she would give it a try then.
For the past twenty years, Feng Cheng had been staying at home with the Shi family. Thereafter, she had been cooping herself in the house of the Feng family. Although she would occasionally participate in some cocktail parties, she was spending less and less time on these events as her husband was not by her side.
She had been staying at home all the time. Feng Cheng had long felt that she was going to turn moldy.
Otherwise, she would not have strongly requested to come to Ping Cheng to keep her husband company. She could also see her daughter occasionally then.
Feng Cheng was already thinking of changing her current way of life. Hence, there was no reason for her to reject her daughter’s suggestion.
As soon as they talked about working, Feng Cheng was smiling and considering the kinds of jobs that could be suitable for her. As for the Chen family’s situation, she had completely forgotten about it and put it behind her.
After successfully diverting Feng Cheng’s attention, Shi Qing stretched out her two fingers and showed Shi Peng a sign of victory.
Shi Peng smiled and glared at Shi Qing to remind her not to be overly smug, in case Feng Cheng discovered any loopholes.
If that were to happen, they would not be able to appease Feng Cheng as easily.
“I have so many dowries? Isn’t Uncle Zhu exaggerating?” On the other hand, Qiao Nan had received the list of dowry that Zhu Chengqi had prepared for her.
At the sight of the list of dowry and the long string of words, Qiao Nan was wide-eyed and tongue-tied.
The list of dowry could be described as… as comprehensive as it could get?
Zhai Hua stretched her neck and took a glance. “How can the Zhu family make a mistake on this? I really can’t tell… The Zhu family spent a bomb on you. They really treat you as their biological daughter.”
Even a person like Zhai Hua felt marveled when she saw the list of dowry from the Zhu family. She was astonished at the generosity of the Zhu family. At the same time, she was also a little envious of Qiao Nan’s good fortune.
Although Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi, this pair of biological parents, were extremely unreliable, they could not stop good fortune from befalling Qiao Nan. Someone was not only willing to acknowledge Qiao Nan as a goddaughter but also willing to treat her like a biological daughter.
“Mom, will I have so many things when I get married in the future?”
