Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Wow, the Visual Impact

Zhang Yue’e had organized the house in advance, leaving behind the larger furniture she couldn’t take, and she took the smaller items to her school dormitory.

Suizi’s family moved in with their bags.

The arrangements for Jiaojiao’s schooling were soon sorted out. Among the part-time teachers at the night school, some were from the local elementary school. Suizi just gave them a heads up, and easily transferred her child there.

Thankfully, in that era, there wasn’t the fuss over school district housing. Otherwise, getting into such a good school would have been harder than scaling the heavens.

Connections made things easier. When Jiaojiao’s schooling was sorted, the whole family sighed in relief.

Jiaojiao had originally thought that without her sister-in-law as her homeroom teacher, things would be easier.

But soon after she started school, she realized that her neighbors on both sides were all school teachers...this was like a nightmare.

By giving the house to Suizi’s family, Zhang Yue’e had settled a worry of hers.

Her birth mother had visited twice. The first time was when Yu Jingting was moving in. She had left behind a bucket of paint and lost a gong.

The second time, she quietly waited until Yu Jingting and Suizi had left, intending to deal with Wang Cuihua.

Wang Cuihua’s legs were immobile, but after shouting outside for a long time with no one answering the door, she decided to climb over the wall.

The two big geese brought over from the Wang family, Tieqiu and Tiebing, rushed at her with cries.

These two geese were now in retirement. When the old Yu family moved, they also brought them into the city. They had been trained to peck at anyone climbing over the wall, so seeing someone do just that, their DNA was triggered.

Wang Cuihua only heard the uproar of geese honks in the courtyard, accompanied by a woman’s screams. Anxious but unable to move, she had to watch.

Seeing the unlucky one being pecked by the geese and climbing back over the wall, Wang Cuihua shook her head.

"Isn’t this a misfortune?"

When Suizi and the others came back from work and Wang Cuihua relayed the incident, Suizi just held her forehead.

"They haven’t given up yet?"

Evildoers need to be dealt with by other evildoers. Meeting such a formidable family as the Yu’s, Zhang Yue’e’s birth parents could be said to have hit a streak of bad luck.

After that, no one dared to come again.

However, Suizi would occasionally see that family squatting at the school gate. As soon as Zhang Yue’e left, they would grab onto her, crying and wiping their tears.

When being tough didn’t work, they switched to a softer approach.

For money, some people were even willing to lose face.

"Yue’e, when we gave you away back then, it was because we were forced to by life, we couldn’t afford to raise you. Now your younger brother is in trouble and if you don’t speak for him, he’ll go to jail. We are all family."

Her birth mother spoke tearfully, almost convincing herself of her own performance.

She grabbed onto Zhang Yue’e’s hand, but then wondered why this hand felt so big?

When she raised her head, she was met with a disgusted look on Yu Jingting’s face.

"Mother!!!" She was so scared that she jumped up. "How come it’s you?!"

Yu Jingting pulled his hand back, shaking it off with disdain.

"What is the deal with you, elder comrade? Making moves?"

He turned his head and made an aggrieved face at Suizi, who was next to him. Wife, I’ve been taken advantage of by an old woman, I seek comfort.

Suizi stifled a laugh.

A drama queen has met another drama queen, isn’t that a coincidence?

"Yue’e, I... I will come back some other day!" Seeing that Yu Jingting’s hair was almost standing on end, her birth mother turned tail and ran.

"This won’t do, Yue’e. You have to stand up for yourself." Suizi remarked to Zhang Yue’e.

If it weren’t for her and Yu Jingting coming out, who knows how long Zhang Yue’e would have been held up.

"I also want to... to stand up for myself... But when she cries, I just don’t know what to do."

Zhang Yue’e was still a young girl. When she encountered someone so persistent, no matter how many times she said no, if that person had a thick face, she didn’t know how to react.

"This can’t go on like this." Considering the situation, Suizi thought it was time to put an end to all this.

She turned around intending to discuss it with Yu Jingting, but upon turning her head, she found that he was gone?

"Where did you go?" Suizi shouted at Yu Jingting’s retreating back.

"I have some things to take care of." Yu Jingting departed without looking back.

Suizi watched him go in the same direction Yue’e’s biological mother had gone. Her temples pulsed anxiously.

The bullies from their street hadn’t found anything to do today. Their overwhelming energy had nowhere to go. Getting involved with Yue’e’s biological mother was definitely a collision waiting to happen.

Did this not simply entertain them and spare them from boredom?

"Will my brother-in-law get into trouble because of me?" Zhang Yue’e worried.

Suizi waved her hand dismissively.

"He knows what he’s doing, don’t worry about him. You, on the other hand, Yue’e, what’s going on in your head?"

"I don’t recognize them, I never will. Aside from my deceased parents, I don’t acknowledge anyone else." Despite her harsh words, the young girl had a clear understanding in her heart.

Suizi nodded in approval. That was her same sentiment.

"They brought you into this world but didn’t raise you. Yelling can at least bring some justice. You were put through so much trouble by them, and nearly lost your job. It seems like you’ve settled scores with them now."

Suizi felt a pang in her heart after speaking.

She could clearly analyze for others.

But what about the fuzziness in her own family? How should she tally that?

If one day, Chen Lijun came looking for her, could she be like Yue’e and sever ties completely?

Her mother did still raise her for over ten years. If she were to cut off her own finger, it certainly wouldn’t be enough gratitude.

Every time she thought of Chen Lijun, there seemed to be a wad of cotton stuck in Suizi’s throat.

She couldn’t swallow nor spit it out. It was frustrating.

Yu Jingting was gone for half the afternoon, coming back in the evening with look of satisfaction.

"They’ve gone back to their hometown."

"What did you do to them? You didn’t do anything illegal, did you?" Suizi asked.

"We are the family of a teacher, could we ever do such an unrefined thing?"

All he did was make some noise and set off firecrackers in front of their house, while singing a little song with his friends.

"What kind of song could scare a family into moving overnight?" Wang Cuihua asked curiously.

"Crying at the Seven Passages."

"Pu—" Suizi almost spewed out the porridge in her mouth, choking and coughing continuously.

"Brother, you sang funeral songs for them?"

In the north, people are usually asked to sing "Crying at the Seven Passages" at funerals.

It is said that the souls of the dead must pass through seven stages to reach the underworld, and this crying sound can guide the deceased through these seven stages. Those creepy, combined crying and howling tunes are generally intolerable for ordinary people.

"With my status, would I sing for them? The guys under me sang, I just beat the gong on the side."

Oh boy, that scene...

Suizi played the situation over again in her head, feeling that something was off.

"Where did you find these guys?"

"Oh, those piano-moving workers at the mall, I’ve organized them. Apart from the motor-mouthed one, the rest are all following me now."

"???"

It’s only been a few days, and he’s already recruited followers?

Yu Jingting was really acting quickly, going with the phrase ’no confrontation, no intimacy’.

When he ran into those guys again while hauling goods, he drew them to his side with his experience from years of being the big brother. These young men were of a vigorous age, jobless and having nothing much to do on normal days except for some casual labor. Yu Jingting quickly won them over.

When there was work at the construction site, he’d drive over on his tricycle with a group of men to help out. He’d also take them to occasional fights to establish dominance...of course, this sort of thing absolutely could not be revealed to Chen Lijun back at home.

It was definitely a Yu Jingting scheme to gather a group of street toughs, stand in front of someone’s door, beat a gong, and sing "Crying at the Seven Passages".

If that family wasn’t frightened, the relatives who took them in would be. Yu Jingting declared that as long as this family didn’t leave, he’d spend the day singing, for a whole month if it came to that.

He had all the time in the world!

"Brother, does singing ’Crying at the Seven Passages’ work this well?" Jiaojiao grew curious.

"Of course not, I have another ace up my sleeve."
