Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Shocking the Entire Village for a Whole Year

"Just this alone will keep your uncle at bay?"

Upon leaving her uncle’s house, Wang Cuihua still felt a bit buoyant.

Suizi’s threat was immediate.

Her uncle’s family didn’t even dare to keep Wang Cuihua to look after the old lady anymore. They directly allowed Wang Cuihua to return.

"It is useful for a short period."

"What about for a long time?"

Suizi smiled and looked at her mother-in-law.

"In the long run, they will have a new leverage."

"How do you know they would certainly have some leverage?"

Suizi lowered her eyes and softly responded,

"They will."

If they have any leverage, that’s great; if not, then they would create a situation and gain some leverage over them!

To deal with her uncle’s family who are completely unreasonable, money isn’t enough to satiate their constantly growing appetite.

The best strategy is to find some leverage on them. Intimidating with threats is often more effective than persuasion.

Of course, if her uncle and his wife could profoundly understand the core values she has imparted and act nobler, then Suizi wouldn’t need to apply such manipulative tactics.

The purple-red evening sunset stained the horizon. Suizi in the snowy landscape was gentle and beautiful, radiating a quiet elegance.

She was like a fairy descended from heaven, untainted by the world.

How could a fairy discuss such sinister tricks as finding people’s weaknesses?

Wang Cuihua shook her head to get rid of Suizi’s gentle voice reverberating in her mind. Was that just an illusion?

"What’s the meaning of all this, sister-in-law?" Jiaojiao was bewildered.

Her brother and sister-in-law were on a roll today. The broiler in her brother’s hand was proof enough!

Being able to get something from their stingy uncle was a great achievement.

"Didn’t your sister-in-law tell you earlier? Kindness is a choice, intelligence is a gift, and that gift is used to uphold choices. Write this down ten times," Yu Jingting seized the opportunity to taunt his sister.

Suizi looked at him with amazement. Had he memorized her life motto?

Wang Cuihua dizzily said, "Tiegen, how did you start talking like Suizi..."

The son was being influenced by his daughter-in-law, to the point of speaking incomprehensibly.

"What a beautiful sunset. Unfortunately, the sunset is endless. Shame it marks the end of the day." Suizi stared at the sunset, pondering whether the poor girl, who had been rescued, would have a smooth future.

"Silly girl, the sunset spans a thousand miles, tomorrow will be another good day."

A warm hand firmly held hers and slipped it into his coat pocket.

The concern in her heart for the strange girl was smoothed out by his warmth.

Suizi saw her own face reflected in his eyes, marked by a relaxed smile touched by warmth.

Apparently, she looked so relaxed when warmed by him.

Did he realize she was worrying about that girl and purposely comforted her?

She, who was pessimistic, had met such an optimistic good man like Yu Jingting.

Perhaps after walking through the darkness post-sunset, that poor girl will also see a good day tomorrow.

While Suizi’s mind was full of the thought "Rare is the knowing heart in life," Yu Jingting was thinking "I should try a few new positions tonight."

Both of their hands were together in the same pocket – a hidden world within.

He released her hand, letting her keep her fist clutched. He extended his middle finger, poking her tightened palm.

Once again.

One poke might be confusing, two conveys the message even to a simpleton.

Having completed his suggestive signaling, he drew a big "3" on the back of her hand.

It’s only a few days until the end of three months. No problem.

The baby wants to meet their heroic dad.

These were her exact words.

The romantic filters in Suizi’s mind shattered helplessly as she closed her eyes.

Forget about comforting herself, or being optimistic!

He is just craving for her body!

"Mom, why do I feel like my brother and sister-in-law are secretly communicating something?"

Jiaojiao glanced at her brother, who had his eyes closed and was being led by his hand, and then looked at her brother, who was laughing weirdly—

"The last time my brother laughed like that, he tricked me into giving him candy. This is the face he makes when he’s playing tricks! My brother is definitely up to something!"

Suizi felt a mix of joy and sorrow.

The joy was that Jiaojiao had excellent observation and description skills. If nurtured well, she has a promising future.

The sorrow was that in order to uphold justice, she couldn’t pretend to drive as she had done before.

After driving fervently for nearly three months, stepping on the accelerator more often than not, the idea of braking was an unlikely one.

But the problem is, her baby car can’t keep up with Jingting’s high-speed train.

Suizi felt the road back home, become longer and heavier.

There’s a thrill in saving a life, but a crematorium awaits debtors. Life’s just path is full of hardship... really fucking hardship.

After dinner, cheerful tunes rang out in the Yu Family home.

After humming a tune, Jingting looked down and chuckled maliciously.

Never ends! These three words, how apt they are!

"Did you become poetic just from washing your feet?" Wang Cuihua could hear it all the way from the east room.

The excessively boastful and off-key singing was simply unbearable.

Suizi was reading a book in the west room, and every time Jingting let out a loud sound outside, her hand would shake.

"Aunt Four! Are you asleep?" A hasty call came from outside the courtyard.

Wang Cuihua went out in her cotton-padded clothes and saw the village doctor, Wang Ming, standing outside with his medicine box.

"What happened?"

"Lun Lamei had an accident, I ran out of a rescue herb to stop bleeding, do you have any?"

"What happened to her?" Suizi asked, surprised as she came out.

"This..."

Wang Ming stuttered, finding it awkward to talk about it in front of the two women.

Jingting came out after wiping his feet, and they stood outside the courtyard and talked for a bit.

Suizi faintly heard a few keywords:

Didn’t know she was pregnant, with a married man, took advantage of the woman’s trip home to coerce her, heavy bleeding, need to stop bleeding before sending her to the hospital...

Just these few words, made Suizi open her mouth wide, her mind racing with thousands of words of various scenarios.

Oh boy, really... oh boy.

Is this really the conservative 1980s?

Lun Lamei’s bold approach was completely out of sync with the times.

No wonder Wang Ming looked like he was struggling to say it.

This sort of news that could shock the whole village for a year had even left the worldly village doctor dumbfounded.

"I don’t have the herb you mentioned, but you can ask at Li Youcai’s house. She’s carrying their child, they can’t just ignore that right?"

Jingting was in a state of rare shock, so much so that he even forgot to curse.

"Whether it’s Li’s child or not is uncertain, but what I’m sure of today is that... Jingting, she’s not married..."

"Don’t worry, I won’t announce it on a loudspeaker."

Wang Ming gulped nervously.

He won’t use a megaphone... He’s going to speak it out loud, isn’t he?

After Wang Ming left, Wang Cuihua and Suizi heatedly discussed the sensational gossip.

Wang Cuihua criticized Lamei for being promiscuous, while Suizi remained silent.

After Li Youcai went in, Suizi stopped her revenge on Lamei. In Suizi’s worldview, she was now clear of Lamei.

If Lamei brought this misfortune on herself, Suizi wouldn’t sympathize or kick her when she was down, she’d just treat it as hearing about a stranger’s affairs.

Jingting also fell into silence, a deep one at that.

When it was time to get into bed, he hugged her, switched off the lamp, and closed his eyes.

Just switched it off, nothing else.

"What happened to your ’never ends’?"

Suizi waited a long time for him to make a move but when he didn’t, she opened her eyes to ask.
