Chapter 163: Chapter 163 Go Be Happy, Don’t Mind Me

Yu Jingting narrowly escaped the feather duster his wife had swung at him.

"Woman! Have you lost your mind?!"

What did he do wrong?! Why did he deserve that?!

"Gift from Mother, my scepter, eh, my feather duster! Just testing to see how well it works." Suizi weighed it in her hand with satisfaction. It felt good and handy.

"When we buy a house in the city in the future, I’m going to get a cabinet to display this feather duster."

Suizi waved around, extremely pleased.

This was the power bestowed by her mother-in-law.

Primarily for disciplining unruly men.

"Why couldn’t she teach you something better?!" Yu Jingting was speechless.

When his wife first joined their family, she was as gentle as a little white bunny, barely raising her voice.

Yet merely months later, under the influence of his formidable mother, she’s learned to wield a feather duster against others?

"Mother-in-law taught me that this is the greatest truth! In terms of Feng Shui, the wife is the central palace of the family. When the central palace is stable, wealth and good luck abound."

Suizi thought her mother-in-law truly had great wisdom, understanding the secret to a prosperous family from its roots.

Yu Jingting chuckled twice, educating his wife to discipline him has now become a profound truth?

"You women are just full of ’inner’ reasoning."

"What do you mean?"

"You are all about ’inner’ (making pun on the Chinese character since ’inner’ and ’reason’ pronounce the same in Chinese)!"

Yu Jingting had figured it all out. Women, they were nothing more than a mouth and two pieces of skin, always talking about ’reasons’ in whichever way it was put.

"It’s often mother-in-law versus daughter-in-law at most homes. But look at you two, banding together to deal with me alone."

"That’s your blessing. With me and Mother to watch over you, we won’t let you make any mistakes!" Suizi felt more pleased with the feather duster the more she studied it.

She made up her mind.

If it’s a girl in her belly, she’ll pass down the feather duster as a family heritage, from generation to generation.

Yu Jingting looked at the item in her hand with disdain, sneering.

"You won’t get the chance to use this thing again. I’m simply not interested in those women outside, they’re neither attractive nor plump."

"Glad you know better—wait, who did you say was fat?" Suizi detected something was amiss, "Yu Jingting! You indeed have a thing for fat women!"

She had suspected it for a while, and now it was confirmed.

Seeing him standing to leave, Suizi was quick to follow, posing her question again.

Yu Jingting turned around exasperated, snapping his teeth at her.

"You lass, you’re completely unafraid of me now?"

Suizi nodded. What was there to fear? She had the feather duster in her hand.

"Silly girl." He reached out and flicked her forehead.

"Disobedient son! Don’t you dare to bully Suizi!"

Wang Cuihua, who was feeding the pigs, turned around. She didn’t see Suizi bullying Yu Jingting, but saw him flicking Suizi instead.

Picking up the ladle used for feeding pigs, she threw it at Jingting, who barely dodged it.

"Mother, doesn’t your conscience hurt for being biased?"

Suizi had been picking on him for a while and Mother pretended not to see. He had just flicked her forehead and she threw a ladle at him. Was this how a mother should treat her son?

"Brother, I drew a painting, do you think it’s nice?" Jiaojiao held up a crayon sketches, drawn with a few stick figures.

"This one’s mother, this is me, and this is you and my sister-in-law."

"Why is your sister-in-law holding a potato?"

"That’s my future nephew!" Jiaojiao was proud, "I have decided to sell you this painting for two cents."

"... Your painting would even stain my ass if I used it as toilet paper."

"Mom! My brother is bullying me! Sister-in-law, are you going to stand up for me?"

Yu Jingting yielded, taking out the last bit of money from his pocket.

Jiaojiao grabbed it and hopped off towards her piggy bank.

"Bro, I’ll sell more drawings tomorrow!" Just a few more days’ worth would be enough.

Yu Jingting resigned himself to it.

The harmony of this house was built on the oppression of Jingting by three women.

Even the little brat Jiaojiao could strut around him, does a man have no dignity in this house?

"Why has Jiaojiao been asking for money lately?" Wang Cuihua jumped the line ahead of her son and asked Suizi directly.

With a daughter-in-law around, an unfilial son is basically a useless ornament.

"She seems to be saving up, but she won’t say what for, she’s been very secretive."

Though Jiaojiao often extorted Yu Jingting, she didn’t squander the money. Most of it was saved in the piggy bank.

She would seize any opportunity to sit on her little bench counting her money, giggling all the while, thinking no one was aware of her little mischief.

"I’m going to steal her piggy bank tonight." Yu Jingting chuckled, scratching his chin.

"No way!" Suizi glared at him. Stealing money from a child, how low can he stoop!

The family was enjoying their time together when Wang Cuihua lifted her head and saw the matriarch leading Yu Shuiniu towards them. Wang Cuihua’s face grew solemn.

"Tiegen, take Suizi and Jiaojiao out. Granny’s brought your uncle over to make trouble."

Even at this distance, Wang Cuihua could feel the killing aura radiating from her mother-in-law, as if a huge dark cloud hovered over them.

Regarding the division of the fields, Uncle suffered a great loss. No good comes from him.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take Suizi to safety. Don’t let her get frightened."

Wang Cuihua thought her daughter-in-law was as timid and docile as a rabbit.

The old folks from the Yu family would never rest easy, they shouldn’t scare the pregnant Suizi.

"Don’t worry, this girl dared to whack me with a feather duster, what’s there for her to fear?" Yu Jingting brought a small stool, made Suizi sit and traced a circle around it.

"Stay inside the circle and don’t get involved when the fight breaks out."

"I don’t dare to, I’m scared." Suizi obediently nodded her head, but her eyes gleamed with anticipation.

She knew Uncle would show up eventually, she just didn’t expect it to be this soon.

The faster the better, she needs to buy a tractor and was worried about the money.

Well, here comes the money knocking at her door.

"Wang Cuihua! You husband-killing widow!" The elderly Yu yelled as she entered the yard.

Standing by her side was Uncle Yu Shuiniu, and behind them were Uncle’s two sons and the eldest son from the head of the family.

"Granny, you and my mom are both widows. If it were someone else saying it, it would be fine, but you— tsk, tsk, a crow standing on a pig, can’t you see your own darkness?"

Suizi, who was "sealed" by Yu Jingting’s circle, made a mental note of this retort.

School never ends when learning how to retort. The arsenal of insults needs daily updating.

"Enough chatter, exchange your land with your uncle’s!" The elderly Yu got straight to the point, presenting an unbelievable condition.

"It’s still daylight, yet you’re daydreaming?" Yu Jingting crossed his arms, "The lot-drawing results are final. Now after shitting, you want to sit back on it? It’s him who stinks his hand, who’s to blame?"

"Your uncle has a large family, so many mouths to feed. You two don’t want to see them starve, do you?"

This old lady’s making a moral hostage out of them! Suizi thought furiously, staring at Yu Jingting eagerly, hoping to see how he would retort!

She never knew how to retaliate when confronted with this kind of unreasonable moral abduction. They would play the emotion card when you tried to reason with them. A bunch of twisted logic adds up to gibberish that may as well be in a foreign language; communication was impossible.

"Are you speechless? Have you turned mute? Do you find satisfaction in the thought of your uncle’s family starving to death?!"

Yu Jingting took a cigarette out, calmly lit it, puffed a ring of smoke and nonchalantly handed out two words that pissed people off.

"Yeah, sure~"
