I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 159: The Extraordinary Performance of Yu Tiegen

Chapter 159: Chapter 159: The Extraordinary Performance of Yu Tiegen

"I told you two, you’d be unlucky, didn’t I? So, how’s that misfortune coming?"

The smirk on Wang Cuihua’s face could only be described with four words:

Triumphant and Immensely Satisfied!

The more aggrieved she felt earlier, the happier she was now.

The elderly mother and the second aunt are taken aback, completely caught off guard by this turn of events.

The two households, eager to secure prime land, had bribed the Team Captain in advance.

They had gone into debt to raise the money for the bribes, and now they both were flabbergasted by the outcome.

It’s now Uncle’s turn to draw.

Seeing his brother pulling out a poor plot after all his bribery, Uncle’s hand was shaking.

What should have been a sure-fire win took an unexpected turn.

Uncle was petrified he might also draw a lousy plot.

His rough, bark-like hand reached into the box and groped around amongst the lots.

His fingers hooked upwards, snagging a paper lot stuck to the top of the box.

Uncle guessed that the Team Captain must have stuck it there. With gritted teeth, he tore the paper lot off the ceiling of the box.

Having no other options left, Uncle could only gamble.

He gambled that his brother had simply slipped, failing to grab the correct lot.

Suizi assumed that lot was another poor plot.

However, when the Team Captain called out the results, he was clearly heard:

"Yu Shuigou, first-class land!"

"Thank heavens!" Uncle’s wife was dancing with joy, her old face glowing.

This reaction starkly contrasted to Aunt’s deteriorating color.

What’s happening? Suizi was puzzled.

The lots must have been tampered with by Yu Jingting.

He must have sneakily meddled with the lots when everyone wasn’t paying attention.

But why didn’t he give both uncles the worst plots? Why did he give a good plot to Uncle?

If you were to say he hadn’t had a falling out with Uncle’s family, that wouldn’t be accurate. Yu Jingting had bad relationships with all the Yu family relatives.

While Suizi was pondering over this, she heard a slap coming from behind.

"Ah! You old hag, you hit me?!" the elderly mother cried, holding her face and pointing at the second aunt.

Not content with just one slap, the second aunt stepped forward and grabbed the elderly mother’s hair.

Being a practiced country dancer, Wang Cuihua was agile.

Noticing the fight, her first reaction was to step back, pulling her daughter-in-law with one hand and her maiden daughter with the other.

The entire family stood back, avoiding any repercussions from their fight.

"Suizi, look! They’re fighting! Oh my gosh!" Wang Cuihua’s voice rang clearly throughout the courtyard, laced with barely concealed amusement.

Yu Jingting, sitting in the courtyard, took the opportunity to build an atmosphere for the brawling women outside.

He put his long fingers to his lips and gave a sharp whistle, initiating theaction with:

"Oh, oh, oh~ they’ve started fighting~~~"

Outside the courtyard, several of Yu Jingting’s younger apprentices followed their boss’s lead, clapping their hands, whistling, and cheering, making the scene rather lively.

After the second aunt slapped the elderly mother, she felt the old woman’s family had conned hers.

Even though both families had pulled together to offer the bribe, Uncle’s family ended up with the best land, while her family got the worst. If this wasn’t Uncle’s doing, deliberately undermining their efforts, what else could it be?

"You deserve it! Your entire family is rotten to the core, making sure we don’t get a good field, may you meet a terrible end!"

"Who are you cursing? You’ll be the one with a terrible end!"

As the elderly mother was being held by her hair and couldn’t fight her off, she used her head instead, lunging it straight into the second aunt’s chest.

"Where are you aiming?" Yu Jingting played into the uproarious atmosphere, leading the men to laughter that was brimming with illicit undertones.

Suizi watched as the second aunt held her chest in pain, her shoulders instinctively hunching up.

That spot, it looked so painful!

The two shrews started fighting amongst themselves. The second aunt stubbornly insisted that Uncle had bribed the Team Captain, demanding a redo of the draw on accusations of unfairness.

The elderly mother, having finally obtained a first-class plot, wasn’t planning on letting go without a fight.

As they continued to bicker, the elderly mother used her head to attack the second aunt, resulting in tufts of her hair being pulled out and the second aunt crying out in pain.

The men from both families stepped in to separate them, but the women continued spitting at each other from a distance.

As Wang Cuihua entertainingly watched the fight, she saw the women start to spit at each other.

She quickly pulled Suizi and Jiaojiao back, not wanting any of them to be hit by the spit, given its disgusting taste!

The village chief stepped in, banishing both fighting women, and finally restoring order at the scene.

The longstanding economic alliance between Uncle’s family and the second uncle’s was officially shattered.

Suizi could already imagine a long period of animosity between the two families in the future, each trying to trip up the other.

Yu Jingting’s move had internally disassembled the alliance between Uncle and his brother.

It was even more ruthless than both families drawing poor plots.

Suizi pondered a while and realized that if both families drew poor plots, they would unite against Yu Jingting’s family out of mutual anger and resentment.

Now, with both families at odds, her family was safe.

The second uncle would find every possible way to demand a piece of land from Uncle. As this involved familial interests, Uncle would definitely not give in.

Thinking Uncle was trying to screw him over, the second uncle would try every means to give Uncle a hard time for a long time in the future.

As for this method—

Just as Suizi was considering this, Yu Jingting, the ultimate stage setter, loudly announced with apparent insincerity:

"Uncle, you better be careful with your first-class land! What if somebody, envious of your land, pours salt water on it?"

Uncle, who had been bending over for years, suddenly straightened up. Pouring salt water on crops would turn fertile land into saline-alkali soil, resulting in reduced crop yields.

The second uncle, infuriated and frustrated, yelled at Yu Jingting:

"You little bastard, what are you rambling on about?! Why would I do such a thing?"

"I didn’t mention you, you’re the one drawing conclusions?" Yu Jingting, with one hand in his pocket, looked serenely calm.

"Uncle, let me remind you a bit. There are plenty of ways to reduce crop yields. How does that saying go?" Yu Jingting said, pretending to be troubled as he rubbed his temples.

"It’s easier to catch outside thieves than treacherous insiders. A household has a thief who doesn’t bark," Suizi didn’t disappoint in the critical moment, adding timely insight.

Yu Jingting clapped his hands, looking delighted.

"See, my wife, an educated person indeed, always puts things so eloquently!"

A seed of mistrust was planted in Uncle’s mind.

From now on, Uncle would look at the second uncle’s family as if they were thieves.

The second uncle also held a grudge against Uncle.

The bond between the brothers was largely built on jointly plotting against Wang Cuihua.

Now that the two brothers had quarreled, and Wang Cuihua didn’t even live in the same village share, she could finally have peace while the two brothers fought.

The lottery draw continued.

Chen Kaide drew a second-class plot, but he couldn’t bring himself to be happy.

The land was extremely remote. Although the soil was good, the journey there was both time-consuming and exhausting. And then there were two graves on that land.

Suizi even felt a bit sorry for him. It seemed like he lucked out, but not completely.

The villagers took turns drawing. Some were overjoyed, others dejected.

Soon, it was Yu Jingting’s turn. Wang Cuihua was sweating on her son’s behalf, holding her breath nervously.

Suizi’s gaze, however, landed on the ignored tractor in the corner.

At this moment, she had had a grand vision.

She had a daring plan.

Meanwhile, the ready-to-draw-lot Yu Jingting did something surprising.
