With the fury of a storm, Mother Qi stormed into the Cheng family home. The place was filled with laughter and joy; Cheng Suâs parents were busy slaughtering chickens in the yard, and her brother Cheng Zhi, along with two other cousins, were laughing and joking loudly.
Seeing the scene, Mother Qi was even more infuriated, thinking: Your daughter is about to ruin our Qi family, yet youâre all laughing happily.
With sharp eyes, Cheng Zhi saw Mother Qi and shouted, "Mom, sisterâs mother-in-law is here."
Mother Cheng turned her head, saw Mother Qi and exclaimed, wiping her wet hands on her apron, "Oh, in-law mother is here, come on in."
Mother Qi stepped into the yard, ignoring Father Chengâs welcoming smile, with her hands on her hips and a dark face, she snorted heavily.
Father Cheng frowned slightly at this, wondering what had happened now.
Mother Cheng noticed too and asked cautiously, "In-law mother, whatâs the matter?"
"Whatâs the matter? In-laws, youâve raised quite a daughter, taught her well. Sheâs got such big ideas!" Mother Qiâs words came out like firecrackers, popping explosively, "Sheâs been married into the Qi family for three years, hasnât even laid an egg, but I didnât mind, sheâs got strong ideas, and I canât argue with her. Iâm an old woman with only a few years left to live, I can wait for a grandson!"
Mother Cheng and Father Cheng exchanged a glance.
"But she absolutely shouldnât drag the entire Qi family into hell. Weâve done nothing wrong to her, right? Why is she so bent on ruining our family? What good does it do her if our family collapses?" Mother Qi vented all her anger at their daughter not answering her phone onto Cheng Suâs parents.
"In-law, donât be hasty, letâs talk this over. If Cheng Su has done something wrong, Iâll definitely teach her a lesson later. But what do you mean by causing harm, whatâs going on?" Father Cheng asked, bewildered.
"Whatâs going on? Cheng Su has lost her mind, wants to borrow money from the bank, do you know how much? Not just thousands but tens of thousands." Mother Qi screamed, "Tell me, is she crazy, borrowing that much money? Does she want to ruin the Qi family for generations, destroy our family?"
What, Cheng Su wants to borrow tens of thousands from the bank?
Father Cheng and Mother Chengâs expressions changed; thatâs an astronomical sum, what does she want with so much money, and if she canât return it, then...
"In-law mother, donât be anxious, Iâll ask Cheng Su whatâs going on!" Father Cheng immediately instructed, "Cheng Zhi, call your sister, see whatâs the matter? Why borrow so much money?"
"Okay!" Cheng Zhi ran into the house.
Mother Cheng had Mother Qi sit on a small stool, soothing her with kind words.
Mother Qi calmed down a bit, and said, "Iâm not just criticizing her, but how can a woman have such big ambitionsâtell me, borrowing so much money, how will they repay it? Wonât the children be crushed by debt their whole lives? Her ideas are too big, if she dares to do it, our Qi family wouldnât dare keep such a daughter-in-law."
Mother Chengâs face turned several shades; it didnât look good, wondering if it was really that serious.
Father Chengâs expression wasnât good either, realizing that borrowing such a large amount was frightening, what was she borrowing it for? Could it be that they ran into trouble with their business dealings?
Cheng Zhi ran out from the house and said, "Dad, I canât get through to sisterâs home phone."
Hearing this, Mother Qi started shouting again, "See, see, I knew you couldnât get through, sheâs got the nerve of a bear and the heart of a leopard, intending to doom our Qi family!"
