I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 16: Li Youcai is a man who does all kinds of evil

Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Li Youcai is a man who does all kinds of evil

Suizi was sizing up the man in front of her, waves of hatred washing over her.

Li Youcai, with his gold-rimmed glasses, scholarly appearance and a college education, had won the hearts of many village girls.

Li Youcai got into college because he copied Suizi’s last question.

He had always asked Suizi for the answers.

Considering his poor family conditions, with a paralyzed father and a mother who had to run the household alone and rarely having enough food, Suizi gave him the answer out of sympathy.

They both entered college together.

Suizi felt overwhelmingly indebted to Li Youcai, but he repaid her kindness with treachery.

In her past life, Suizi had an abortion and went out to start a business, her quick-thinking mind allowing her to make a lot of money.

However, the local thugs saw her as an easy target due to her being a single, unsupported woman from out of town, and the police were no help at all.

Just as she was considering closing the business and moving elsewhere, Li Youcai appeared.

He said he had been framed and served a few years in jail back in his hometown, and he was looking to make a new start elsewhere. Suizi, also at her wit’s end, agreed to start a business with him.

After Li Youcai joined the business, the troubles stopped and Suizi’s business grew larger and larger.

Li Youcai took the opportunity to confess his feelings, but after being rejected by Suizi, he outwardly claimed they were still friends, but behind the scenes, he spread rumors that they were a couple. He tried to imitate Suizi’s writing and even got a girlfriend who worked in insurance.

Suizi, seeing him with a girlfriend, thought he had given up on her. When Li Youcai brought his insurance girlfriend to her and asked her to buy an expensive accident insurance policy, Suizi thought he was trying to help boost his girlfriend’s sales performance and agreed.

The company organized a mountain climbing activity, and Li Youcai lured Suizi to a deserted area. His malicious intent revealed, Suizi then realized she had let the wolf into her house.

It turned out that Li Youcai had had his eye on her since her school days, and the strange incidents happening around her had been his doing. After facing repeated rejections from Suizi, he let hate breed from his love and eventually decided to kill her.

Not only did he push Suizi, causing her to fall to her death, but he also mimicked her handwriting to write a fake suicide note. Since they had opened a company together, it was easy for him to get her private seal.

This ungrateful villain not only took her life and property but also turned her ashes into prayer beads and buried them in the wall of the Yu Family Ancestral Mansion, using a trigram soul-locking box to suppress her spirit.

All these years, Suizi had been constantly regretting and reflecting, lamenting her inability to see the true face of this evil person. The parable of The Farmer and the Snake perfectly described her relationship with Li Youcai.

After her reincarnation, there wasn’t a moment she had forgotten her hatred towards him. Just hearing his nauseating name made her want to vomit. Now that she saw him in person, this feeling of revulsion intensified.

Suizi’s fingernails dug into her palm, the pain pulling her out of her memories.

"Suizi! Are you all right?" Li Youcai was looking at Suizi with an almost greedy gaze.

"I’m fine." Suizi lowered her eyes, suppressing the urge to scratch him.

But she didn’t notice that the man opposite her was clenching his fists with a restrained expression on his face.

At this moment, Li Youcai desperately wanted to hold the woman who haunted his dreams, but he couldn’t do anything. All he could do was gaze at her with greedy eyes.

Suizi was still chubby at this point, not as pretty as when she was slimmer – but it didn’t matter. As long as she was willing to be with him, he had many ways to make her look better.

Li Youcai’s gaze grew hotter, and when he opened his mouth, it was a yearning whisper. Afraid that she might catch on, he quickly cleared his throat.

"Suizi, did Yu Jingting hit you? He won’t let you go if you abort his child, right? Don’t be afraid, come to me if you have any problems. No matter what it is, I can help you!"

Suizi, with a surprised expression, raised her head. Why would Li Youcai say something like this?

This man was as sly as a snake, having two faces and using unsavory means behind the scenes. Even if he was interested in her, he would only use unscrupulous methods secretly and wouldn’t simply say it outright.

In her past life, Suizi had no chance to see him after her abortion. His behavior today was too abnormal, so Suizi became more alert and pretended to be embarrassed while looking down.

"What are you talking about? We’re not close..."

Only then did Li Youcai remind himself that Suizi was a timid woman and his behavior had been too sudden.

"Yu Jingting is not a good man. When he found out about your abortion, he spread it all over the village that he was going to kill you. I’m only worried about you because -- after all, we’re classmates."

Suizi’s eyelashes fluttered, bringing with the nausea a wave of chills.

He was skilled in speaking with such a righteous tone, seeming upright on the surface while acting sneakily beneath it.

"Thank you for your ’concern’." Suizi kept silent after that.

The conversation between them seemed as calm as water, yet hidden beneath was a massive storm.

Suizi kept her head down, so Li Youcai couldn’t see her expression and could only assume that she was scared. In order to make her even more afraid of the Yu Family, he decided to add fuel to the fire.

"Suizi, Yu Jingting’s grandfather used to be a bandit. His family’s bad temper has been a hereditary trait for three generations. If anything threatens your safety, let alone your life, you must tell the village."

Suizi’s shoulders tensed a bit. Li Youcai thought his scare tactics were working, knowing that she is timid.

She then lifted her head and replied with an unfathomable voice:

"I don’t remember much about the previous generation’s history. But I do remember, weren’t your grandfather and your father taken in by their wives?"

The Li Family had been living off their wives for three generations. Li Youcai might not have obtained Suizi herself, but he used crafty methods to steal her property. For this man, who was adept at gold-digging to mock the Yu Family, Suizi found it utterly ridiculous.

"I, I--" Li Youcai was left speechless.

His many schemes to win her over were all disturbed by her single sentence, and he didn’t know what to say.

After all, the affairs of his family, who had survived on their wives for generations, were not praiseworthy.

"Aren’t you a high school teacher? Why did you suddenly come back to your hometown?" Suizi threw him another curveball, leaving Li Youcai speechless again.

After graduating from college, Li Youcai was assigned to teach at a high school, but he was fired within half a year. He claimed it was because of unfair treatment, that his position was taken by someone with better connections, and that it was impossible to stay at the school without any connections.

Suizi later found out that he had seduced the principal’s wife three months into his job, and only returned home half a year later because his leg had been broken and he needed to recover in the city. After recovery, he dared to return home.

"I, I came back to contribute to the development of our hometown." He stuttered.

Suizi nearly burst out laughing. He certainly had no shame!

"I’ve just returned from speaking to the village chief. He mentioned that the production team was seeking an accountant and asked if you would be interested?" Suizi dropped the bait.

In her previous life, Li Youcai became the accountant. After the disbandment of the production team, he became the village accountant, a stable position.

But then Li Youcai embezzled public funds and was sentenced to jail, which was why he couldn’t stay in his hometown anymore. He ran off to start a business with Suizi. All this was something Suizi found out only after she died and became a ghost. If she had known his character earlier, she would never have partnered with him.

After her reincarnation, the village chief offered her the accountant position, but Suizi declined and didn’t want to change the trajectory of events in her past life.

However, Li Youcai’s speech made Suizi feel a chill.
