I am chasing a rough man in the 80s

Chapter 140: Chapter 140: I Support My Relatives, Not Justices!

"Ai, this loose-mouthed old lady, causing trouble and expecting her son to pay for it."

As Yu Jingting spoke, he tugged at his sweater, revealing his firm abs occasionally.

Suizi hastily held his hand, her face pale with anxiety.

"What are you trying to do!"

In her nervousness, her dialect slipped out.

"The children bear the debts of their parents. As a poor man who hardly makes a few cents a day, I’ve spent my last penny on candy for Jiaojiao. So I guess I have to, pay in kind."

Yu Jingting made as if to undress.

Such a thick-skinned face, always shedding a layer wherever he goes.

He dared to do it, but Suizi didn’t. She hurriedly held him back.

"Stop making a fuss, just eat your meal."

"How can I eat when my wife is upset—let’s pay in kind."

Suizi, fearing that he would let slip some inappropriate remark in front of the kids, hastily grabbed a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth, not even using chopsticks.

"Not only does my wife make delicious fillings, but the dumplings she feeds me are also especially fragrant. No one can compare to that, old lady. Are you envious of me?"

Yu Jingting cheerfully addressed Wang Cuihua, relieving her suspended heart.

Sure, the boy is a bit of a jester, but he sure knows how to appease Suizi.

After his antics, Suizi’s complexion improved and she quietly finished her meal, even managing to drink some dumpling soup.

In the afternoon, Wang Cuihua planned to visit the neighbors. Before leaving, she pulled Yu Jingting into the courtyard and murmured instructions for a while.

As the mother-in-law, there were certain things she couldn’t tell Suizi directly. So, she hoped Yu Jingting could soothe Suizi.

"Blood is thicker than water. They are mother and daughter after all. Why are they treating each other like enemies? Try to persuade Suizi not to hold a grudge against her mother any longer."

"I won’t. Whosoever angered her should be the one to appease her."

Yu Jingting thought to himself, if he dared to bring up the matter, Suizi would ban him from the bed. He wasn’t that stupid!

"You! Can’t you see the bigger picture? Your mother-in-law and your wife are at odds. Do you think being in the middle of it is easy?"

"Why should I be stuck in the middle? From beginning to end, I’ve always taken my wife’s side. If they ever get into a fight, I’ll be on the sidelines, cheering for my wife."

Wang Cuihua was infuriated by his words.

"I know Lijun. She is not the kind of woman who would abandon her child heartlessly. There must be some misunderstanding about the past. You could have helped mediate, but why stir the pot instead?"

Yu Jingting shoved her out the door, locked it from the outside, and grinned cheekily.

"Go on your rounds, I have everything under control."

Only after Wang Cuihua left, did Yu Jingting stroll back into the house, whistling softly.

Suizi was reading a book by the kang, she covered her face with the book when she heard him enter.

"I know what mother told you, you don’t need to say anything."

"I wasn’t planning to say anything, I was just—" he edged closer, his hand becoming restless.

The cold from outside, touching her warm skin.

"Just the two of us at home, my dear. We shouldn’t neglect our cultural studies even during the New Year. Do you have any poetry or songs that are suitable for the occasion without hurting the child, recite one."

Suggestions of "the green shirt is wet."

And "the moonlight is bright on the twenty-fourth bridge"... the next line.

All could be discussed.

Suizi dodged uncomfortably, squishing his handsome face with her tiny hand.

"Is this all you have in your mind, Yu Jingting?"

"Yes!" He answered cheerfully.

Suizi was left speechless.

After all, when the man in front of her was someone whose face couldn’t be shot through even with a gun, it really confirmed that saying:

As long as he doesn’t feel embarrassed, the one feeling embarrassed is someone else.

"Aren’t you curious about the feud between me and her? Mother asked you to persuade me, right?"

Yu Jingting gripped Suizi’s tiny hand that was resisting him, put it to his mouth and let out a low hum.

"Why would I need to persuade you? I’m not stupid."

"They always say there are no bad parents..." she sometimes found herself quite contradictory.

"Don’t worry, if you set your little uncle straight, I can even smash the windows of my mother-in-law’s house."

"????"

While she was discussing life with him in earnest, were all strangers on his mind?

"Aren’t you supposed to be friends with her despite the difference in age? Why do you want to smash their windows now?" How could someone change so drastically?

"What kind of friendship can compare to ours?"

"Don’t you want to ask who’s right and who’s wrong? What if I’m the one who’s wrong?"

"What’s right or wrong got to do with me?"

He pinched her little chin, and in the dominant tone said the most cowardly words:

"Listen lady, is this your first day knowing me? You got yourself a street hood, not a moral template, so why speak logic with me?"

"I, Yu Jingting, from the day I remembered, always care for kin not justice!"

Suizi was shocked by this sudden show of dominance, and the readiness to smash someone’s windows with a slingshot, her brain froze for three seconds.

After a while, she silently translated his words:

"Whoever my wife tells me to hit, I hit. That’s how obedient I am. Don’t ask why."

"Pfft."

This time, she was genuinely happy.

The gloom in her eyes disappeared, recalling his face when he said those words made her smile.

Without the Spring Festival Gala, Yu Jingting single-handedly provided the entertainment, making Suizi laugh heartily.

He was really capable. In her previous life, it always took her a long time to let go of her mood. With his few words, he could pull her out of it.

Just as Suizi was about to compliment him, and indirectly express her feelings for him, she heard the street performer whose career was stunted because he was a wandering artist say:

"I really like your stubborn yet adorable look."

"I also li——" Suizi’s voice was as quiet as a mosquito; she had never formally expressed her feelings to anyone.

Suizi felt her whole body immerse in pink bubbles. Was this the taste of love?

Was she dating her husband whom she had married twice after their marriage?

What should she do? Her heart was beating so fast!

"If you were the type who could be persuaded with a few words, you wouldn’t be the charming little Pig Spirit that I have in my heart."

Pig Spirit?!

Suizi’s sweet smile froze on her face.

The pink bubbles turned into raging waves, crashing down on her, making her choke on this guy’s indecent words.

One minute later, Yu Jingting was pushed out of the room, and the door was locked with a click.

Three minutes later, the window was opened.

The man who had provoked her entered through the window with one hand on the frame, and stood on the kang with his shoes on, looking triumphant.

"Didn’t let me use the door and you thought I can’t climb the window? Hopping through windows is a tradition in our family. My dad used to be chased out so many times, hahahaha!"

Suizi stared at his foot wearing the shoe, she was about to faint.

"Do you want to die! Hurry up and clean the kang, dirty!"

The man, who felt extremely superior, cleaned the kang while humming a tune.

Seeing him like this, Suizi couldn’t help but think of the man who looked like his father she had met in her previous life.

"Jingting, mom said dad died when he was working on the river project, so... did you guys ever find his body?"

It was indeed somewhat taboo to talk about this during the New Year.

But Suizi was really curious. Could there be someone in this world who looked so similar?

"When they brought him back, he was swollen from soaking in the water. Mom was pregnant with Jiaojiao, so the team didn’t dare let her go see him. He was directly buried. Why are you asking this?"

"I——" Suizi initially wanted to say that she had once seen someone who looked a lot like him, but she swallowed her words before they left her mouth.
