Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Letting the Wife’s Family See Foolish Behavior

Yu Jingting’s hawk-like eyes locked onto the two small cherry-like buttons on her dress.

"You don’t like them?" Suizi wanted to chuckle but held it in. His reaction was so funny.

"Huh!"

Yu Jingting wanted to pull them off, but found he couldn’t?!

"Sewn on?!" This little lady, did she have so much free time?

She sewed them while laughing! Suizi obediently nodded her head.

This was her ultimate "retort" to him for taking advantage of her these past few days.

Yu Jingting squinted his eyes—good.

Suizi was still waiting for his reaction.

But then he sauntered over to the wooden wardrobe, casually opened it, and took out her...?!

"Why are you grabbing my top!!!" Suizi rushed over, trying to wrest it from him.

Taking advantage of his height, Yu Jingting held up Suizi’s little vest with one finger and swung it in the air, making a beautiful arc.

"I don’t like fake ones."

"Thus." He smirked wickedly, eyeing the "war spoils", and made a scissors gesture with his other hand.

Poor Suizi, with her usually outstanding wits, couldn’t figure out his lewd intentions.

"In this position, snap, cut a slit on each side." Yu Jingting demonstrated.

Suizi was confused. If he cut it, wouldn’t it... reveal too much?!

The moment she realized, her face turned beet red.

"Why use fake cherries, huh." He preferred the natural and harmless ones!

"Didn’t you say you didn’t have any worldly desires for me? ’Old monk’?!"

"Well, I’ve just reverted to layman’s life, I can have some desires. Come here, let me kiss you!"

Slap!

The sound of a crisp slap echoed.

Yu Jingting held his reddened chest, watching the embarrassed woman storm out. He lounged comfortably on the heated bed and called out leisurely,

"Finish your story with Little Jiaojiao and come back quickly, don’t make me go after you~"

When Suizi turned around, she saw him shamelessly showing off his muscles, "Look, ’brother’s’ firm abs, cool, isn’t it? Little Goblin, you’re smitten!"

"Even Buddha would spit on you for your inappropriate behavior!" Seeing him laughing wildly with his hands on his hips, she pointed at Yu Jingting and blurted out,

"You’re just like a clam that’s sprouted legs!"

After she said it, Suizi covered her mouth, she did it again!

She actually mastered the romantic way of insulting in such a vivid and grandiose manner!

While staying with someone as shameless as Yu Jingting, she had developed a linguistic talent that she never had in her past lives!

What the heck is that? Yu Jingting frowned.

There is no sea in Dongbei, let alone eating seafood, he had never even seen it.

He wanted to pull her back and ask, but Suizi slipped away to the eastern room to tell Jiaojiao a story.

Whenever Yu Jingting would ask her what it is in the future, she’d change the subject.

If pressed, she would say it’s a type of aquatic product with a delicate flavor, similar to Yu Jingting’s perseverance, handsomeness, and unaffected by worldly allurements.

Although Yu Jingting felt that she was tricking him, he could find no evidence to the contrary.

Not until much later, when he accompanied Suizi to the library to borrow books. He deliberately wandered around and found a comprehensive book about aquatic products. The richly illustrated book opened Yu Jingting’s eyes to the world. He was appalled on the spot!

But that is a story for another time.

...

Yu Jingting’s level of efficiency in matters mirrored his skill in teasing (annoying) Suizi.

Yesterday he counted the medicinal herb quantities, and today they were all collected.

Bags of holly were delivered to the entrance of the Production Team, Suizi found time during a break from classes and came out to help with the family business.

Yu Jingting and his younger brothers were in charge of receiving and weighing, while Suizi was keeping the books.

With over forty households in the village, each family could earn about thirty to forty yuan, a good amount for the farmers, given the few days of work.

First, they would collect the medicinal herbs. Once the Medicine Factory inspected the herbs and found no issues, the money would be transferred in.

With the unexpected side hustle before the New Year, everyone will be able to celebrate a prosperous New Year. The faces of everyone were filled with joy.

Many villagers came pushing small carts.

Suizi was quite moved.

Yu Jingting’s last trip into the mountains had earned the women of the family money for winter coats, which meant he had carried hundreds of kilograms for a day.

After he returned, Suizi calculated his earnings based on this weight. But seeing such a massive bag of medicinal herbs with her own eyes, she was deeply moved.

Despite his habit of taking advantage of her and giving her an awful nickname - Little Lady!

His sense of responsibility towards the family was quite touching.

Seeing Suizi staring blankly at the bag, Yu Jingting leaned in to see what was up.

"This...it’s pretty heavy to carry, huh?" Suizi touched the hemp bag and gently asked, gazing at him, her eyes full of saccharine starlight.

"Not heavy. About the same weight as you," Yu Jingting said frankly. After thinking for a moment, he added, "Or perhaps you’re a bit heavier."

It was winter, after all, and she was wearing a few kilos of winter clothes. He meant no harm.

The galaxy of stars in her eyes turned into piercing shards of glass. Dumbfounded, Suizi shot him a glare.

"If you step on the scale, we can see if you’ve put on weight. I’ve noticed your appetite’s been great recently."

She had made two rice balls for breakfast this morning.

Upon hearing this, Suizi blushed, attempting to regain her dignity: "Well, now that my morning sickness has subsided, my appetite is naturally back."

"Right, having a good appetite is a good thing. Come, let’s see if you’ve gained a little~" Yu Jingting squeezed her hand, trying to lead her to the scale.

If his wife gained weight, he’d be happy. She had been vomiting during her early pregnancy, and her face had gone pale, which saddened him.

Suizi strenuously pulled her hand away, refusing to be dragged to the scale.

Stepping on a scale in front of the entire village? Was she being publicly executed?

From a distance, it looked like the two were arguing and pushing each other.

Without even knowing, Yu Jingting was treading on thin ice, risking his wife’s fury.

"Don’t worry, the scale can bear a few hundred kilograms of grain, you won’t break it," he added.

Jerk! Suizi thought startled.

Seeing her eyes start to well up, Yu Jingting realized he had hit a bee-hive and hurriedly tried to make amends.

"While some people’s wealth is reflected in their pantry, ours is reflected in you! Whenever I take you out, everyone knows I am rich!"

Suizi stomped hard on Yu Jingting’s foot.

"Move away!" Suizi pushed him away. She decided to sever their marital relationship for five minutes; he was terrible!

Only then did Yu Jingting realize he had screwed up and quickly tried to mollify her, sticking close to her heels.

His sharp tongue was a definite perk when arguing, but it was a disaster when it came to soothing a woman.

"My love, I simply adore your adorable and plump little figure."

"Honestly, I have never seen someone who gains weight as proportionally as you do."

"If you were a chubby Panda from Journey to the West and I were Tang Monk, the story would’ve ended with me... uh, falling head over heels for your charm."

He remembered Suizi saying she liked pandas.

Suizi’s blood pressure shot up.

His brain went blank, and his mouth couldn’t keep up with his thoughts.

So he just—

Yu Jingting narrowly dodged the abacus Suizi flung at him. Man, she didn’t hesitate!

"Stay away! You’re making me mad!" She pointed at Yu Jingting, fuming.

In the distance, a pair of sharp eyes narrowed in a frown as they took in the couple’s squabble.
