The aunt was taken aback to see Qi Taiguo return alone and her impression of Cheng Su worsened. What an assertive daughter-in-law, she thought, showing no sense of wrongdoing at all.
"Taiguo, you really can't indulge that wife of yours. Otherwise, she'll end up walking all over you. With such a temper, how can she be so unsubmissive?" the aunt couldn't help but advise Qi Taiguo.
In her view, having such a daughter-in-law, Qi Taiguo had really been cheated.
Upon hearing this, Qi Taiguo wasn't as 'obedient' as he used to be. He suddenly remembered what his father-in-law had said the night before. Though initially not quite convinced, now it was clear to him that what he had thought – that his family considered Cheng Su as one of their own – wasn't really the case.
So she truly was alone and unsupported!
