Qi Taiguo hung up the phone, rubbed his temples, feeling a throbbing pain, and his head seed to have grown bigger.
"So, how was it? What did they say?" Cheng Su leaned in to ask.
Qi Taiguo pinched the spot between his eyebrows and said, "Auntie has gone to our place. Weixia caused that ss, and she doesn’t have the face to stay at ho, so she’s temporarily staying with us."
Well, this is sothing that chaste and resolute woman might do, after all, it’s an uncle and widowed sister-in-law, which is considered unethical. How could they face others if this got out? If she continued to stay at ho, wouldn’t people break her backbone with their whispers?
Even Cheng Su herself felt embarrassed, not to ntion that extrely traditional woman? She probably thought it would be better to just die rather than face such humiliation, with the situation being so intense and lacking a support pillar, she could only seek refuge.
"So, what does your mom want you to do?" Cheng Su asked him.
Qi Taiguo didn’t look happy and said, "She wants to find Weixia and bring him back. Where am I supposed to find him in this vast sea of people? How would I know where they’ve gone? Besides, I’m in the army; it’s not like I can just leave when I want to!"
Cheng Su thought to herself, your mom’s bizarre way of thinking, you’re well aware of it.
"This Weixia too, how could he do such a thing! He’s just a young uncle, ssing with the widowed sister-in-law; I think he wants to live with his head down forever!" Qi Taiguo fud, "Utter foolishness."
Cheng Su said, "Breaking societal norms, this goes beyond love!"
Qi Taiguo looked sideways, "Why do I feel like there’s a hint of sarcasm in your words?"
Cheng Su coughed twice, uncomfortably saying, "No, you’re hearing things!" Then added, "I advise you not to worry about how to find them. Since they wanted to elope, they certainly wouldn’t want to be found. They’ll appear when the ti cos. Plus, I’m guessing their affair has been brewing for a while."
"Hmm?" Qi Taiguo sat up straight, asking, "What do you an by that?"
"Just last year, I saw the way Weixia looked at his sister-in-law was quite unusual. I just didn’t think too much about it, only felt he might have been sympathetic seeing his sister-in-law beco widowed so young." Cheng Su said, "And your aunt, always saying a woman doesn’t serve a second husband, she scolded on the spot when I ntioned remarriage to Liu Wenjing. Clearly, your aunt doesn’t allow or want Liu Wenjing to remarry. She thinks if she could persevere, so can Liu Wenjing, and that she can watch her son grow up this way!"
Qi Taiguo frowned, asking, "What does that have to do with them eloping?" He rarely thought about these complicated issues, so he didn’t imdiately see the connection.
"The more people are oppressed, the more they will rebel!" Cheng Su glanced at him plainly, "Your aunt never remarried, held on her entire life, and no one said she was wrong. But she can’t impose her will on others. Who knows if Liu Wenjing never thought of remarrying? But what if your aunt suppressed her? Fine then, if you don’t let remarry, and since the young uncle loves , then let’s just be together!"
Qi Taiguo hissed and said, "How is that possible? This is completely..." Revenge!
"Revenge!" Cheng Su said, "Perhaps Liu Wenjing didn’t initially intend anything with the young uncle, but what if she couldn’t withstand the mother’s pressure? In short, the reason she eloped with the young uncle could be a combination of many factors, but the desire for revenge must have played a part."
Qi Taiguo’s eyes showed shock.
How could people be like this!
