Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Can’t Catch a Wolf Without Give up Your Child

"What’s going on?"

Upon hearing grandma’s scream, Suizi was scared and jumped from the Kang bed, without even having time to put on her shoes.

"Where, where did you get this?!" Wang Cuihua trembled, pointing at the drawing in her hand and questioning Jiaojiao, her face twisted with shock.

Jiaojiao, unnerved, retreated one step back and hid behind her sister-in-law.

She had never seen her mom like this before.

Even when she scored zero in an exam, she hadn’t seen this.

"What’s the big deal, it’s just a piece of paper, what is written on it — oh my!" Yu Jingting glanced at the drawing and was also shocked.

"Isn’t this my dad?!"

In the drawing, a man of about thirty, with bright, focused eyes and a mischievous smile, chuckled at everyone’s surprised reaction within the room.

Frightened, Jiaojiao clutched at Suizi’s sleeve, unable to understand why her mother and brother reacted so intensely.

"Where did you get this?" Wang Cuihua, her eyes unfocused, stared at the drawing, unable to hold back her tears.

She thought she could only see this face in her dreams.

But over the years, she couldn’t even dream about him anymore.

Just yesterday, she was sorrowful and found it hard to remember his face, as he no longer appeared in her dreams.

"An auntie drew it for me — sister-in-law, I didn’t mean to let her touch your drawing, she just grabbed the pen and started drawing..."

Looking helpless, Jiaojiao turned to Suizi for support.

"Auntie? What auntie? Do we even have anyone in our village who can draw so well? Have you seen her before?"

Suizi took the drawing and after one look, she knew, this was definitely drawn by someone with professional training, from the way the character was proportioned and shadows utilised, it was all professional technique.

But... who is it depicting?!

"Jingting, are you sure, this is grandpa?!" Putting her hand over her mouth, Suizi’s mind seemed to have been hit by dozens of lightning bolts.

The person who drew this picture had captured the likeness and characteristics of the subject impeccably, making it come alive.

But, why does he look so familiar!

"Yes, our dad looked like this, don’t you remember from when you were a kid?"

She certainly wouldn’t remember from her childhood, but in her previous life, she had seen him.

Suizi’s mind became muddled for a moment, she was confused.

But when she saw this person in her previous life, it was already ten years later, judging by the current time, their grandfather had been dead for twenty years, right?

Could there really be two people who look so alike in this world?

Recalling what Yu Jingting had mentioned, Yu Shuisheng was brought home by his grandfather, his origins unknown.

After a brief moment of shock, Suizi could only guess that the person she met in her previous life was either her grandfather’s twin or his close brother.

"The one who drew this must have seen grandpa and knew him well. Otherwise with just a memory, you can’t draw like this — Jiaojiao, where is this auntie?"

"The auntie drove away, got into a green car with large wheels!"

Jiaojiao gestured with her hands.

"A military vehicle?" Suizi looked at Wang Cuihua, who didn’t respond as she was lost in her thoughts, staring at the piece of paper.

"We don’t have any relatives with such connections." Yu Jingting replied.

"The person driving was an uncle, this auntie initially wanted me to call you out. She said she knew you, oh yes, I remember now, there’s some resemblance between you two!"

Jiaojiao’s words turned Suizi’s face pale instantly.

Resembled her.

And had such excellent drawing skills.

She guessed who it could be.

Snatching the drawing from her grandmother-in-law’s hand, she attempted to rip it.

Yu Jingting quickly snatched the paper away, holding it above his head.

"Calm down!"

He also guessed who the visitor was.

He knew about the tension between his wife and his mother.

But this painting meant a lot to his mother.

Suizi wanted to tear the painting, it was a natural reflex. After Jingting stopped her, she calmed down.

This painting was his mother-in-law’s last wish, she couldn’t destroy it.

"Why did she abandon her plan to see your sister again?"

Seeing how furious his wife was, Jingting asked Jiaojiao.

After Chen Lijun finished the painting for Jiaojiao, she asked Jiaojiao to call Suizi over.

Jiaojiao, being an astute girl, started to be tricky upon receiving the painting.

She told Chen Lijun that her sister-in-law couldn’t walk such a long distance. If she wanted to see her, she could follow her home.

"My sister-in-law taught me not to easily trust strangers. I don’t think she is a bad person, but I’m afraid she might harm my sister-in-law if I bring her here, so I asked her to come with me."

"Hmm, well done, what happened next?" Jingting asked.

"Then that aunt asked me why my sister-in-law couldn’t walk far, I didn’t have a chance to answer, the kid next to us said my sister-in-law is pregnant, and is afraid of slipping."

After hearing this, Chen Lijun’s face turned green.

"After hearing that, she cursed at Jingting, saying ’you useless thing’, which was quite scary."

In fact, what Chen Lijun said was more than that, there was more offensive words.

Jiaojiao repeated every word, showing her excellent memory.

"When I heard her cursing my brother, I spat at her. The man next to her seemed surprised, he closed the car window, and the two of them said something I couldn’t hear, then the car drove off. I chased them and threw rocks at their car."

"You naughty girl, how could you be so rude?" Although Wang Cuihua couldn’t figure out who had painted the picture, it must be someone who was able to capture her husband’s likeness so accurately must have been talented.

"Who asked her to curse my brother--" Jiaojiao pointed her finger, feeling aggrieved.

"Well deserved! Good job throwing rocks!" Suizi grit her teeth.

Wang Cuihua was surprised by her daughter-in-law’s abnormal reaction, and was about to say something when Suizi turned and entered the West Room, closing the door behind her, not caring about anyone’s reactions.

"What’s the matter?" Wang Cuihua had never seen her daughter-in-law so upset before.

Suizi was always calm and well-behaved no matter what the situation, this was the first time Wang Cuihua had seen her genuinely angry.

Jingting pulled Wang Cuihua off to the side and whispered something in her ear, causing Wang Cuihua to gasp.

"Lijun came?! Why didn’t she come in? I’ve missed her so much. You quickly borrow a carriage and see if you can catch up with her, the dumplings are still hot."

For Wang Cuihua, this was a friend she hadn’t seen in many years, her thoughts were relatively simple.

Jingting looked at the closed door of the West Room.

"If you let her come over, it won’t be about eating dumplings anymore."

His mild-mannered little wife could feed the whole family explosive cymbals, blasting them into the sky.

Don’t mention her mother-in-law to her, the mere mention of it makes her hair stand on end.

"What on earth is Lijun planning? She comes here on New Year’s Eve, but doesn’t come in to see her child." Wang Cuihua didn’t understand what was going on and was muttering to herself as she looked at the portrait in her hand.

"I begged her to paint for me back then, but she refused. Why did she paint today?"

"If you can’t bear the child, you can’t catch the wolf."

Jingting patted the unsuspecting Jiaojiao on the head, praising her:

"You did a good job, little girl, here’s a dollar for candy."

He probably understood why his mother-in-law had come.

If it hadn’t been for Jiaojiao’s quick thinking, his wife would have been taken away.

Suizi was beating the pillow as if mad, even punching didn’t assuage her anger, she picked up the pillow and was about to bash her head with it.

Jingting walked in to see the rarely out-of-control Suizi, he hurriedly tried to calm her down:

"Stop hitting it, be careful not to bump your head!"

Suizi was furious and didn’t listen to him, Jingting’s words brought her under control.
