Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Play the Game, Accept the Consequence

The paper in Suizi’s hand was the bet that they had previously signed off on.

She bet that Madam would cause trouble for sure.

The stake was, Jingting had to be a "without worldly desires" person for a week.

"It’s written in black and white here. I won. Throughout this period, the Madam has been causing a lot of trouble, always trying to do harm to our family."

Even though, the harms had been resisted by the couple.

"A big man like you can’t chick out, can you?" Suizi was afraid that he would deny the bet. She tightly gripped the paper, intending to bite him if he dared to grab it.

"Oh, where... is big?"

He got closer, stuck to her little face, and smirked.

"Don’t dodge and bypass, Jingting, please face reality. It’s clearly written here that you have to abide by the consequences of your bet!" Suizi raised her eyebrows and proudly declared.

"Yes, it is written clearly, you lost." He was pointing to the text he had written with one of his hands, "So, my wife will have to bear the burden for the following week."

"???"

Suizi held the paper closer to her face, reading it again.

They had both written a line on this paper - she wrote down that she was betting that the Madam would cause 100% trouble, and Jingting’s text read, "I disagree with my wife."

"What did you win?"

"You bet 100%, and I bet 102%, which disagrees with you. Therefore, I won."

"No, you cheater! You played dirty! We can’t count that!!!" Suizi felt insulted by her intelligence.

She was the best at playing word games in the business field in her previous life. When it came to contracts, she was the one always tricking others; no one had ever been able to fool her.

Never would she have thought that upon returning to the "beginners’ village", she had carelessly been fooled by Jingting in her field of expertise!

"Wife, abide by the consequences of your bet, you said it, face reality. – Or you could fulfill one of your obligations now while they haven’t finished eating, quick battle, quick resolution." He smiled deeply with a profound meaning.

This handsome face, as always, was even more charming when he smiled.

When Suizi had just returned, she especially loved watching him smile, a taste of sunshine that was unreachable and she had never possessed.

Now, Suizi wanted to scratch him! Scratch his face!

He had too much "sunshine" UV rays, making her face scorch!

...

The slaughter feast at Yu Family was very successful. As the first family in the village to slaughter a pig, everyone got to have meat in advance.

Those who didn’t come to eat also received dishes delivered by Wang Cuihua afterwards.

In a few days, all villagers would also slaughter pigs. Other families would also deliver dishes over, a way of returning the favor.

Suizi only heard from school teachers the next day that Madam had slipped away from Yang Village overnight.

She came to Yang Village to assist her daughter during her confinement period. Not only could her daughter not rest well during confinement, but she also pissed off the little overlords of Yang Village—Jingting.

As soon as she saw Jiaojiao bring over a bowl of vegetable dishes with sand, her daughter’s parents-in-law understood right away. They had her son-in-law return Madam home that very night. It is said that she is not to show up in the future if not essential.

When Suizi returned from work, there were a lot of gifts at home.

"Where did they come from?"

"This is personally sent by your sister Li’s mother-in-law. She said many nice words, hoping that we could accept their herbal medicine, even if they pay less."

Having dealt with sisters-in-law for so long, Wang Cuihua finally felt proud this time.

"Neither agree nor reject their offer for now. Let’s keep them hanging. After confirming that the Madam can keep her mouth shut, we can then discuss business with them." Suizi spoke calmly.

The most serious knifing often comes from the closest people.

The relationship between plastic relatives is often subtle.

When you are poor, people look down on you; when you are well-off, you get envied, and people try to outshine you. The gossip hurting you makes you angry but no one laughs at you.

"What do you mean ’keep her mouth shut’? Are you talking about Jiaojiao’s affairs?" Wang Cuihua was smart; as soon as Suizi said something, she understood.

"That’s too much, isn’t it? After all, Jiaojiao is a member of the old Yu family. She’s a relative, she wouldn’t spread rumors about the child, would she?"

When Jiaojiao was tied up by her uncle and taken up the mountain, even though nothing happened, it can’t be guaranteed that loose-lipped gossipers won’t babble on about it. Once someone starts gossiping about such rumors, they will spread very quickly.

From every aspect Suizi could see, the Madam was the kind of person who both had the motive and potential to gossip. If she isn’t disciplined, she will definitely cause trouble when she gets the chance.

"If there isn’t any, that’s good. If there is, we need to nip her destructive intentions in the bud."

Jiaojiao’s future is without a doubt not in the village, but Suizi still did not want to hear single trace of rumors about the young girl.

"But people have their mouth, even if she doesn’t say it, you can’t guarantee if others—" Wang Cuihua was worried.

Actually, she also thought about this issue, but she didn’t have any good solutions either.

Her son is, indeed, physically strong, but this kind of stuff isn’t the kind that someone would gossip about at her door. People gathered together behind the scenes could say all sorts of mean things.

"Therefore, we need to make an example out of someone. If the Madam’s intentions are sincere, we wouldn’t make an example out of her. I would choose another typical person. But if she insists on barging in..."

Suizi lowered her gaze.

Then, do not blame her for showing no mercy.

"Oh, then it’s up to you, Suizi. It’s such a good thing that she has a sister-in-law like you. Suizi, you’re pregnant yet still went up into the mountains for Jiaojiao. What to say about you..."

Wang Cuihua wiped away her tears. Thinking about how her daughter wouldn’t have been able to return without a daughter-in-law, she felt that Suizi was her lucky star, sent to save the Yu family.

"She’s my little sister, saying it like this makes us feel distant," Suizi patted Wang Cuihua’s hand.

She wasn’t only saving Jiaojiao. She was also finding some redemption for herself in her previous life.

If it weren’t for her actions that triggered a chain reaction in her previous life, Jiaojiao wouldn’t have had such bad luck. Once this mess is cleaned up, she would feel more settled than anyone else.

While having dinner, Wang Cuihua mentioned Suizi’s plan to Jingting and he laughed.

"Don’t be too harsh on the Madam, just a small punishment should be enough." All the while he was looking for Suizi’s little hand under the kang table.

"No." Suizi pinched his leg; the couple was messing around under the table.

"Huh? Why are you two acting so weird?" Jiaojiao thought her brother and sister-in-law’s reactions were strange.

Normally, her brother, who always liked to be harsh, was actually pleading for the Madam’s family. And her usually mild sister-in-law was talking about wiping everyone out—have the two swapped souls?

"Your sister-in-law has been eating a lot these days—ow!" Jingting gritted his teeth, glaring fiercely at Suizi. Woman, where are you pinching?!

"Can’t you even keep your mouth shut while eating?!" Suizi warned with a red face, afraid he would blurt out something inappropriate in front of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

"What I mean is, you’ve suffered a lot from the Madam recently. What did you think you were eating, huh?"

Suizi despised him in her heart. This guy’s too naughty!

I’ll never bet with him again, she realized the harm of betting!

Because Madam has made her sleepless these days, she won’t let her go. She’s about to vent her anger.
