By the time the sun set, Cheng Su had returned from the fields to the Qi family's fenced compound, where Qi Family's Younger Sister and Father Qi were squatting by the well, busy with something.
Upon hearing footsteps, Qi Fengping looked up and shouted, "Where on earth have you been? It's almost dark and dinner isn't even cooked yet! A wife should be back on time to prepare dinner. Who are you expecting to serve you?"
Cheng Su's face darkened. No matter what her reputation was, nominally she was Qi Fengping's sister-in-law. It wasn't strange for her not to respect her, but Qi Fengping had no right to scold her, especially with such heart-piercing words.
"Fengping, what are you saying? She's your older sister-in-law; don't be so disrespectful." Father Qi spoke up to correct her before Cheng Su could retort.
Qi Fengping pursed her lips, "Dad, I would respect her if she acted more like an older sister-in-law!"
