Chapter 966: Land
Qi Xuansu wanted to say that he would be calling the shots, but he felt it would go against the Daoist ideal of equality and show little respect for Zhang Yuelu. More importantly, he lacked the confidence to say so.
In the end, he said, “They say even an upright judge finds it hard to settle family quarrels. In matters like this, there can’t be only one person who decides everything. Everything should be open for discussion.”
Madam Qi scoffed and gave Qi Xuansu a sidelong glance. “I knew it. You’ve got no balls.”
Qi Xuansu protested innocently, “What does this have to do with balls?”
Madam Qi argued righteously. “Other men, whether they’re really in charge or not, at least claim they are. You don’t even dare say it in front of me, so I can’t bear to imagine what will happen when you’re alone with that Zhang girl. Are you already henpecked?”
Qi Xuansu shot back, “Madam Qi, if you found yourself a man right now, who would be in charge?”
Madam Qi replied without hesitation, “I’d be in charge, of course.”
Qi Xuansu pursed his lips. “Don’t you think that’s a double standard?”
Even when she had no reason, Madam Qi spoke as if she did. “Yes, it’s a double standard. What, you got a problem with that?”
Qi Xuansu muttered under his breath, “No wonder you’re forever alone.”
“Tian Yuan, what did you just say?” Madam Qi glared at him.
Qi Xuansu quickly changed his tune. “I said, you’re always right, Madam Qi.”
