I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 156: He Can Do It

Chapter 156: Chapter 156: He Can Do It

Spending so much time with Suizi, if I didn’t learn anything else, at least I figured out her strategy for intrigue.

Suizi almost always had to build up a proper case before she made a major move.

A pre-war manifesto to boast our might and highlight the enemy’s confusion.

What she wanted was a valid reason for her act.

She had this way of making people feel guilty for their downfall, like she was doing them a favor even when she was setting them up.

When Suizi talked about all this with him, all she wanted was for Yu Jingting to understand the rationale behind her next scheme.

"Do you know why Second Uncle is so hostile towards us?" Yu Jingting asked and answered himself, "Because he has a decade-old injury on his thigh, and it’s somehow related to us."

Suizi covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes wide in surprise as she stared at Yu Jingting’s thin lips, her expression clearly asking, Are you going to bite him there?!

Yu Jingting was grossed out by her leap in thoughts.

"You little Pig Spirit! What are you thinking?! Do you think I’m like you, always ready to bite someone?"

The bite mark on his nose from her previous attack had just faded!

"Oh really? And you don’t bite?" Suizi’s small hand gently stroked his calf, up his waist, and finally stopped over his heart.

Let’s be real, if there hadn’t been curtains around, she could’ve stripped right then and there, just to show how this man, who bit wherever he grabbed, had left plenty of "evidence" all over her body!

Yu Jingting coughed dryly.

"I only bite my own woman. I wouldn’t bite those coarse and tough old men."

You never know how much you might bite off those unclean old men, yuck!

"So why do you claim that Second Uncle’s leg injury is related to us?"

"When our father died, there were a lot of people trying to break into our house. So, our mother began keeping Tiebing and Tieqiu, those two big geese."

Geese are very good at guarding homes.

Many people have been bitten.

"Wait, you’re saying...?!"

Suizi was covered in goosebumps—how disgusting!

She’d known all along that Second Uncle was not a good guy, but she hadn’t expected he’d actually stooped to such depths.

Why would her uncle so audaciously try to sneak into his deceased brother’s widow’s courtyard in the middle of the night?

After her initial shock and disgust, Suizi shuddered at the thought. A fear-induced shiver ran down her plump body.

The sheer level of human depravity astounded her.

Never underestimate the depths of human depravity because in the bleakest part of night, some people are so wicked that not even the Buddha could redeem them.

Second Uncle must’ve thought that Wang Cuihua, now a widow with a child, wouldn’t dare to expose him even if he took advantage of her.

Being branded as the woman who seduced her brother-in-law would mean social suicide for Cuihua and her child in Yang Village.

No one would know who he was if he broke in during the night. Once he took advantage of Cuihua, he would have her totally under his control, to use as he pleased.

But Second Uncle significantly underestimated Cuihua.

As soon as he climbed over the wall, Tiebing and Tieqiu attacked him.

At that time, 10-year-old Yu Jingting heard the noise and came out.

He saw a man, his face masked and dressed only in underwear, hobbling away, his behind bleeding from the goose’s attack.

Although the man’s face was covered, Yu Jingting could guess from his shape and the color of his underwear that it was probably Second Uncle.

The next day, he deliberately went to Second Uncle’s house and, sure enough, saw the marks from the goose bites on his leg.

"I have a question!" Suizi raised her hand.

Yu Jingting has a grave expression, Ah, my little lady has finally realized that her man could protect the family?

"So, how did you come to see the wound on his thigh? Did you pull down his pants?"

Seeing the truth through the underpants.

"Do you think I would stoop to such tasteless actions?" Yu Jingting sneered. His lady’s imagination was becoming a real hazard!

First, she suggested he bit the scab off an old man’s leg.

Then, she accused him of pulling down an old man’s pants—to what, ogle?!

"So, how did you find out?"

"I told Second Auntie that his wound was from the goose bite at Li Youcai’s house because he was peeping on Li Youcai’s mother bathing."

"Wait, what?! Li Youcai’s house was involved too!"

"Then, the second aunt pulled down his pants. I told you, I wouldn’t do such tasteless things."

"..." So, that’s your justification for inciting others to do your dirty work?

Wang Cuihua never knew who was behind it, and she had been fooled all these years.

Yu Jingting knew what happened but kept silent all these years.

He just seized every opportunity to annoy the two uncles.

Though the uncles hadn’t climbed walls, they hadn’t committed fewer unsavory deeds, all remembered by him.

Suizi found it hard not to put herself in others’ shoes.

What would she do if she, as a weak woman, came across such a rotten-hearted villain, and if she were in her mother-in-law’s place?

She couldn’t raise geese, she was even afraid of them!

The "iron pies" and "iron balls" at home (nicknames for the geese) were fed by Jiaojiao; Suizi avoided them.

She, with her timid nature, would surely not be as excellent as her mother-in-law in raising geese.

Probably the most she could do was erect some iron fences, turn on the electricity at night, sprinkle some glass shards on the walls, and place some mousetraps inside the walls...

Having mapped out the scenario in her mind, Suizi sighed.

"Compared to our mother, I’m way behind."

She needs to take so many steps to solve a problem that mother could solve with just two geese; it was troublesome and money-consuming.

Timidity really is a terrible thing.

From her gloomy expression, Jingting knew that the young mistress was up to no good again.

The "second uncle" had added one more sin to his sins.

Now Suizi could punish him without feeling guilty at all.

"During the draw, you seize the opportunity and grab the first-class land stuck to the box before their two families do," Suizi told Jingting.

He didn’t answer, just looked at her, lost in thought.

"Do you...think I’m a bit bad?" Suizi asked nervously, while playing with her hair.

She hoped to maintain a perfect image in front of the love of her life all the time.

Jingting watched her for a while, then reached out and messed up her hair.

"Silly girl, our mom has predicted my fortune. I can live till over ninety."

"What?" She didn’t get what he meant by this inconsequential remark.

"I won’t let you live in fear like our mom did. As long as I’m alive, no one can bully you."

Suizi didn’t expect him to say this. Her eyes watering, tears trickled down her cheek.

Pregnant women’s sensitivity can indeed be fatal. She hugged Jingting and dabbed her tears on his sweater.

"So, you little pig spirit, just eat your pancakes with great relish. Even if you gain some weight, it won’t crush your brother——Hey, speaking of which, when will you come on top next time?"

It was time to show his superb endurance.

He was totally okay with heavy-duty tasks!

Suizi couldn’t cry anymore.

"Don’t call me a little pig spirit!"

"Oh, a little spirit pig?"

"A little Suizi pig?"

"Suizi little pig?"

The glib-tongued man paid a heavy price again.

...

On the day of the land distribution meeting.

Villagers gathered in front of the Production team’s Courtyard, each family sending a representative to draw lots in the courtyard.

The rest of the people were watching from outside.

The most conspicuous was the street boss in the front row...with teeth marks on his face.

"Tiegen, what happened to your face? You knew that today’s the day of life and death decision, and let your wife take a bite, hoping for some good luck?"

The second uncle sat next to Yu Jingting.

His eyes were filled with schadenfreude.
