Chapter 122: Don’t Come Here, Bear
Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Don’t Come Here, Bear
The woman was taken away by a group of individuals, pleading pitifully with Suizi and gripping onto her clothes before her departure.
Suizi felt sorrowful, compassion welling up in her heart.
Wang Laowu, Yu Jingting’s cousin, was born disabled and had a distorted character.
Such low-quality men will likely remain bachelors for their whole life, and no woman would be willing to marry someone like him.
To the Wang Family, the sudden appearance of the madwoman, who had no relatives or support, was like unowned ’property’.
They bound her up at home to bear children, to carry on the Wang Laowu’s lineage.
Even the most despicable of men, it seemed, wanted to pass down their inferior genes, driven by an inherent reproductive instinct etched in their very bones.
These people did not see their actions as problematic, even thinking they were helping the woman by giving her food to fend off starvation.
Suizi’s morning sickness had subsided a while ago, but upon seeing these ignorant people, she felt her stomach churn.
She was inclined to demand that they release the woman, but she kept stealing glances at Yu Jingting by her side.
He was strong, but he couldn’t stand against a crowd.
In such matters, the villagers always stood firm together.
If she recklessly attempted to free the woman, and the villagers rose up in a swarm, they could all attack Yu Jingting, and even his strength wouldn’t save him from being hurt.
And on top of that, she also had Jiaojiao with her.
Suizi suppressed her impulse, following Yu Jingting to his uncle’s house, her reactions were slow as she needed some time to think of a plan.
The grandmother was moved to a side room, a small room with a cold heated bed that hadn’t been used in years.
Wang Cuihua shared a bed with the old lady, and after a few days on the cold bed, she developed back pain.
When Suizi arrived, Wang Cuihua was groaning on the bed.
Seeing her mother-in-law in such a pitiful state, and then at the elderly woman on the bed, it wasn’t hard to imagine how uncomfortable the sick old woman must be.
No wonder the aunt didn’t allow them to move the elderly woman. They wanted to hasten the old lady’s death.
If it weren’t for Wang Cuihua’s intervention, they might have directly bullied the old woman to death.
Now, the uncle’s family was pressuring Wang Cuihua for medical expenses, using the old lady as leverage against Wang Cuihua, threatening that they’d make the old lady suffer if they didn’t get the money.
"Mother, shall I apply a cupping treatment for you?"
Suizi distracted Yu Jingting as she used a tin jar to do cupping therapy on Wang Cuihua, simultaneously probing her opinions.
"Mother, Wang Laowu has taken in a mad woman as a wife, did you know?"
"What?"
Wang Cuihua had been busy caring for the old woman and was unaware of the affairs outside.
Suizi recounted the story to Wang Cuihua, who got so angry that she cursed.
"Isn’t this courting disaster? The reason Wang Laowu turned out the way he did, was due to his father’s past misdeeds, the repercussions befalling him. Daring to procure a wife in such a manner, aren’t they afraid of reaping what they sow?"
From Wang Cuihua’s words, Suizi learnt of an unbelievable truth.
Wang Laowu’s father and Wang Cuihua’s father were brothers, making their two families closely related.
Wang Laowu’s father was ill and couldn’t marry a normal woman, so he took in a foolish woman from the village. After she gave birth, he chased her away into the mountains because she ate too much.
Wang Cuihua was already married off to Yang Village by then. She just heard that the foolish woman was eaten by wolves in the mountains, always feeling Wang Lauwu’s family weren’t human, thereby not interacting with them for many years.
It was her brother who lived in the same village and maintained good relations with Wang Laowu’s family.
Hearing from Suizi that Wang Laowu had bound another mad woman in such a way, Wang Cuihua was outright furious.
"The older generation did such evil things, and it resulted in the birth of Wang Laowu, who was neither man nor ghost. Haven’t they learnt their lesson yet, that they’re still resorting to such despicable means?"
"Mother, I find the maiden to be pitiful. Is there anything we can do to help her?" Suizi tentatively asked.
"I do want to help, but how? This is Wang Village, not our turf. Your grandmother is still here. If it comes down to a confrontation, we can hold our ground, Ges Tiegen’s presence means we won’t be at risk, but your grandmother will..."
With a "hostage," Wang Cuihua dare not abuse her sympathy.
"What about waiting for you to return, and then Tiegen goes to the city to fetch your classmate who’s a police officer?"
"By the time my classmate arrives, they’d have ruined that woman, she might even turn out to be pregnant, she’s already crazy, and if she becomes pregnant again, what then... Mom, we should do it like this."
Suizi whispered into Wang Cuihua’s ear.
At this moment, Gran’s shaman identity turned out to be useful.
Wang Cuihua thought that Suizi’s idea was good, but she felt a bit uneasy.
"When your uncle comes to his senses, he can’t be angry at your grandmother, right?"
"He won’t dare. Mom, I assure you, do as I say. From then on, my uncle’s family won’t dare to mistreat my grandmother. In fact, they will even serve her and cater to her needs. Tonight, we can move Grandma to the room with a heated floor."
Suizi’s aim was also to deal with her uncle’s family. This crazy woman was a great opportunity, saving her the effort to set any traps. It was a ready-made "trap".
Wang Cuihua was both skeptical and trusting. After the cupping treatment, Suizi instructed her to find her uncle.
Suizi advised her to inform her uncle that the madwoman was stricken with the Seventh Curse, anyone associated with her would be unlucky for three years.
Wang Cuihua’s shamanic status was useful for those outside, but it was difficult to fool her own family with it.
All these years, her relations took her claims of being a shaman with a grain of salt.
"The old spirit said, within an hour, your chicken pen will be cursed,"
Wang Cuihua squinted, counting with her fingers, reciting the script that Suizi had given her, she couldn’t help but add something else:
"Hand over the silky fowl."
Hearing her mention the silky fowl, Suizi quickly ran out to find Yu Jingting. She needs to add some extra drama to the play, he needs to get in character fast!
She dragged the uncle’s family to her grandmother’s room.
Grandma’s room now had curtains covering the windows, obscuring the courtyard. Uncle had been thinking about the chicken pen; he tried to leave a few times, but Wang Cuihua distracted him with her act.
Half an hour later, there was a loud crash in the courtyard.
The chicken pen had collapsed, and a large rock had crushed the silky fowl.
"Ai Ma, everything you said turned out to be right!"
The uncle was convinced, and he now looked at Wang Cuihua with awe.
In the courtyard, Yu Jingting held a pickaxe over his shoulder, looking at Suizi with his chin held up.
He, the tough guy, was reduced to a tool of a young woman, doing such a trivial thing like destroying a chicken pen. He was not pleased.
Suizi put her hands together, expressing silent gratitude to him.
The two were out of sight from the courtyard, and the uncle didn’t suspect that it was Yu Jingting who had wrecked his chicken pen.
"Cuihua, quickly, how do we prevent this curse?" Uncle’s desperate voice came from the courtyard.
Suizi tugged at Yu Jingting. Stop listening to the drama, there’s still another one that hasn’t been ruined yet.
Yu Jingting looked at her coolly. Did she think he was the kind of man who would obediently let her boss him around?
If that got out, wouldn’t it make him seem like a wife-fearing guy?
"It’s been almost three months." Suizi touched her stomach innocently, looking at him, "We can let the baby meet its heroic father in three or two days, it’d be okay."
The implication was that Uncle Bear should not come in. The child didn’t want to "see" him, nor did the child’s mother want to see him.
A tightness crept up Yu Jingting’s throat.
By the time he came back to his senses, he was carrying a hoe, walking down the road to destroy Wang Lao Wu’s chicken pen with his wife.
Suizi and Tiegen had no way of knowing that a moment of kindness (or lust) would bring them significant benefits in the future....
