Chapter 1079 - Spent a Bomb (1/2)
If Feng Cheng was still clueless and were to do something inappropriate to add on to his troubles, s.h.i.+ Peng was reluctant to continue to tolerate it.
“s.h.i.+ 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 s.h.i.+ Peng down. She had also never thought of getting a divorce.
To her surprise, s.h.i.+ Peng dared to voice out something that she had not even thought about. “s.h.i.+ Peng, confess honestly. I’ve not been by your side for such a long time. Are you seeing someone else outside?”
“…”
“…”
Even s.h.i.+ Qing frowned, failing to comprehend this, let alone s.h.i.+ 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?”
s.h.i.+ Peng was quite angry earlier but he smiled when he heard s.h.i.+ Qing’s slick words. “Oh, you’ve improved.”
“Of course!” s.h.i.+ 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, s.h.i.+ Qing’s chin lifted even more.
In terms of devising ploys and strategies, s.h.i.+ Qing and Feng Cheng’s relations.h.i.+p was reversed. s.h.i.+ Qing was Feng Cheng’s ‘senior’.
Now, s.h.i.+ Qing was able to understand the arrangements and ploys that the Feng family had for Feng Cheng.
In s.h.i.+ 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, s.h.i.+ 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.
s.h.i.+ 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 a.s.sign 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 ch.o.r.es at all, taking care of s.h.i.+ 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 s.h.i.+ Peng’s wife. “Fine. In the future, I will take care of your dad by his side. I will definitely nourish his health.”
s.h.i.+ 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?”
