I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 161: We Ended Up Carrying All The Burdens

Chapter 161: Chapter 161: We Ended Up Carrying All The Burdens

Suizi can still remember that scene.

The blue sky with white clouds, the golden waves of wheat, a handsome young man driving a tractor with a cigarette in his mouth.

He was handsome, his smoking style unique, attracting the attention of all the women wherever he went.

"When you first saw me, you were shaking like a little quail. How could you remember all these details?" Yu Jingting asked, focusing on the main point.

Suizi’s face turned red. She turned her head to one side, trying to change the subject.

"Smoking is harmful to your health. You should not smoke while driving the tractor."

If he didn’t smoke, all these women wouldn’t be eyeing him with such envy.

She even wanted to post a hand-written declaration of her sovereignty on the tractor!

So that everyone who saw the tractor would know that this man was hers.

"The tractor will be junk sooner or later. I’m upset just thinking about this."

Upon hearing Suizi talk about the tractor, Yu Jingting started complaining to her.

He had been close to the village chief lately, and was considered his right-hand man.

Before the land division, the village chief had also talked to him about the distribution of the tractor and several large agricultural machineries.

Yu Jingting suggested to the village chief, instead of letting them idle, they should be rented out.

The rental income could be converted into dividends and distributed to the villagers.

His idea was quite innovative for the time and very feasible.

From Suizi’s perspective, this was a tremendous example of economic thinking.

But such a proposal was quite bold in the current context.

He had previously sold herbal medicine, which had already been a risky move.

Sharing dividends from the tractor - if reported by a neighboring village - could label them as "capitalist remnants", which could lead to endless troubles.

The village chief did not agree and reprimanded Yu Jingting.

According to established practices in the village, men rarely discussed their outside affairs with their women.

However, Yu Jingting spoke candidly about it.

Not only was she his helpful wife, but also his confidante. They discussed everything together, big or small.

When Suizi heard what he had to say, her eyes lit up, and she did not hide her admiration for him.

"You’re thinking clearly."

Yu Jingting was touched by her admiration.

Many of his ideas were incompatible with people’s thoughts around him.

If he talked this way to others, it would scare them - as if he was choosing the evil capitalist path.

But Suizi was different, she was his confidante.

"We are in a transitional phase, stepping stones to cross the river. Many supply and demand relations are unreasonable. For example, tractors would rather be wasted than fully utilized."

The breeding farms lacked feed, but the stagnant economy did not allow for purchases, and animals were left to starve.

On farms, the agricultural by-products that could be used for feed were rotting and used for composting.

Selling agricultural products to breeding farms could benefit both sides, but no one dared to make this move, choosing rather to compost the by-products instead of selling them.

These absurdities, unthinkable for later generations, were indeed present during this era.

Suizi’s words had Yu Jingting nodding in agreement constantly.

As he listened to her examples, he wanted to add his own input, finding a similar scenario.

"When we’re together, I haven’t been able to express myself fully, as you always cry out and refuse me. But Yang from next door can only last for three minutes, yet his wife was always sighing by the well."

"So, some are dying of drought, others are drowned in floods, and you are the unsatisfied woman in the middle!"

Suizi was stunned.

How did he link this issue with the tractor?

What a strange association and it made complete sense!

"Why is it that every time I discover your strengths, feel your difference, and try to enter your inner world, you always show this shameless side of yours?"

Opening the door to his heart, all she saw was yellow!

"They say a cow can die from exhaustion, but the land never tires. You cannot starve me all the time, many women in this village are green with envy!"

"Were you peeping in through people’s windows, or standing outside when couples were busy? How else would you know?"

Suizi usually had a slow reaction, but when it came to "defending her territory", she was exceptionally quick.

"Are you, the energetic bull, going to ’help out’ when other houses are in drought?" As she said these words, she was searching for something.

"What are you looking for?"

"I remember there was a pair of scissors under the bed-stove. Let the tractor turn into scrap iron. I will also neuter the bull."

"Shit!"

Yu Jingting quickly grabbed her small chubby hand.

She was really ruthless! One disagreement and she wanted to neuter him!

"When did I ever say I would help others?" He was wrongly accused!

He only wanted to flirt with his wife and ask for some benefits, but now, not only had he not obtained any benefits, but he was also threatened with castration!

Suizi didn’t speak, just looked at him with her clear, discerning eyes, her eye circles reddening like she had been wronged greatly.

"Hey! Be reasonable! You’re the one threatening to neuter me, why are you crying?!"

"You’re also yelling at me ... you’re so fierce." The tears came quickly for Suizi, raining down onto the bed-stove mat.

Yu Jingting felt helpless.

Forget reasoning, her tears were the greatest truth in this world.

He cuddled her and comforted her, wiping away her tears, swearing he had never had any thoughts about other women, even promising not to disturb her at night.

The tears stopped as suddenly as they had come. Suizi had managed to get him to give in.

Yu Jingting felt he had been tricked and he wanted to take back his promise of "not disturbing her tonight."

Suizi leaned against him, her small hand massaging his leg, her voice softer than usual.

"I married a man who keeps his word." It seemed like she could finally rest for a day, yay!

"No, I am the biggest scumbag in Wang Village." He turned his head away in pretended anger.

Suizi held his face in her hands, moved her face closer, and gave him a peck.

"Do you think I’m the type to fall for your tricks?"

Yu Jingting was going to put on a face that said "Are you kidding me?", but the corners of his mouth gave him away.

Alright, he really did fall for it, and he enjoyed it.

"Why are you covering your mouth when you want to laugh?"

"Hehe~" Suizi really started laughing.

Yu Jingting’s temple throbbed. Not going to bed - she seemed quite happy?!

"It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s just that —"

Suizi initially wanted to say that she, a pregnant woman with extra flesh on her, couldn’t bear his physical strength.

But thinking that would only boost his ego, she changed her words.

"I want to save my strength, so tomorrow I can help you get the tractor."

"If you want to laze around, just say so. What do you mean tractor—tractor?!"

Suizi nodded.

She had been calculating earlier and had been doing the sums for obtaining the tractor.

"If the village chief doesn’t agree to share the profits from the tractor with the villagers, then we should take it."

If he didn’t agree to share the money with the whole village, then they would have to monopolize it.

Suizi put on a sorry face, resting her hand on his handsome face:

"My man wanted to share the prosperity with everyone, but the village chief disagreed, so now we have to shoulder everything."
