I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 230 Who Is She

Chapter 230: Chapter 230 Who Is She

Just like Suizi, my elder sister-in-law also lived with her mother-in-law when she was pregnant.

But the mother-daughter-in-law relationship wasn’t nearly as harmonious.

Back then, elder sister-in-law had a craving for Fried Cake, and both she and her mother-in-law were too stingy to buy one.

She mentioned it a few times but was scolded by her mother-in-law for being gluttonous.

Until one night, when she got up to go to the toilet and saw her mother-in-law sneakily eating Fried Cake under the quilt, her feelings...

Decades have passed, and her children have grown up, but she still holds a grudge.

Seeing Suizi getting along so well with her mother-in-law, the elder sister-in-law is somewhat stunned.

"Auntie Four, you really are wealthy now, not even angry about a jar of facial cream?" Mother-in-law laughingly teased, attempting to assert her presence.

"What’s there to be angry about, one goes, another comes," Wang Cuihua really wasn’t angry.

The jar broke, but the remnants of the facial cream in it was put into a plastic jar, which she then used for her son’s detested face, not wasting anything.

Suizi took out a new bottle from her pocket and handed it to Wang Cuihua.

"I got this from Sister Wang. It’s newly released. Smell it. It’s delightful."

"Why waste money on this — wow, it really does smell good. Deduct it from Tiegen’s spending money."

"Okay!" Suizi responded crisely.

Yu Jingting: ???

So the secret to a harmonious mother-daughter-in-law relationship is to join forces in exploiting him?

Watching this scene, the elder sister-in-law saw it as an intentional display of happiness.

Little did she know, this was just their everyday life.

Any slice of life from the Yu family can make those who bear ill will insanely jealous.

"Auntie Four, what’s your take on what I said?"

Old mother wasn’t happy to see how dutiful the daughter-in-law was, and steered the conversation back to its proper place.

"I’m not in charge now, discuss it with Tiegen and his wife."

Wang Cuihua took the facial cream to old mother’s nose, forcefully showing off.

"Smell it, isn’t it fragrant?"

That’s the smell of jealousy. Old mother thought bitterly. Her daughter-in-law would grudgingly share not just facial cream, but even a piece of Fried Cake.

"Tiegen, what do you say?" old mother asked.

Wang Cuihua persistently nudged the bottle towards old mother, sniff it, sniff it~

Suizi felt like laughing, now she understood why her little sister-in-law loved to show off whatever she had — she was exactly like her mother-in-law!

Old mother awkwardly dodged, the more she avoided it, the more Wang Cuihua chased after her.

Yu Jingting poured Suizi a glass of water, they whetted old mother’s appetite, only then began to speak.

"I’ve heard about the situation in your family, and I can only say, it’s not easy to solve. We’re not living in our hometown anymore...what’s that saying—"

"Out of reach of one’s whip." Suizi chimed in.

Yu Jingting nodded.

That’s the idea.

"We could help you out this one time, but in the long run, who knows if they’ll continue to trouble you."

The implication is clear: if you want your home to be peaceful, you need to maintain good relations with Yu Jingting’s family consistently.

"You can go now. I assure you that they won’t bother you before you finish this basket of duck eggs. About what happens after—"

Yu Jingting grinned, leaving the rest unsaid.

Old mother felt a bitter pang. Was he getting a taste for this?

Before leaving the Yu family’s home, elder sister-in-law pulled Suizi aside.

"Suizi, look, you’ve been married to Tiegen for so long, we haven’t had many chances to talk. You seem to be a lucky person."

Suizi just smiled and didn’t respond. The elder sister-in-law didn’t wait for her to chime in, and just kept talking.

"Fate is preordained. You’re blessed, but others may not be as fortunate."

"Elder sister-in-law, if you have something to say, just say it directly, no need to beat around the bush."

Following a brief moment of embarrassment, the elder sister-in-law hit her own leg.

"Oh, look at my mouth. My mother-in-law repeatedly reminded me not to tell you about this. How can my mouth be so gossipy?"

Any normal person would naturally ask, what’s this about?

But Suizi is not like others, she could tell from the elder sister-in-law’s expression that something was fishy.

"Oh, if your mother-in-law told you not to say it, then don’t. I’ve noticed that you and your mother-in-law don’t get along. Don’t let me make your relationship even worse."

With that, she turned to leave.

The elder sister-in-law was left dazed.

What sort of reaction was that?

In her many years living in the village, she had never met a woman who showed such indifference to gossip.

She hurriedly grabbed Suizi’s arm tightly, drawing the attention of Yu Jingting.

Yu Jingting’s gaze instantly fell on them, but the elder sister-in-law, oblivious to his attention, said to Suizi:

"Do you know that before marrying you, Tiegen had planned to marry the maiden from the Wang Family?"

"Oh." Suizi let out an indifferent ’oh’.

"You don’t care?!" The elder sister-in-law’s voice rose in disbelief.

"My second cousin’s neighbor saw him embracing and kissing the maiden from the Wang family by the riverside!"

"Oh?" Suizi cocked an eyebrow, and the elder sister-in-law took her reaction as a sign of interest, her eyes sparkling with delight.

"Suizi, as a woman who has been there, let me advise you. What’s past is past, there’s no point dwelling on it. It’s not worthwhile to quarrel with your husband over past issues."

"Elder sister-in-law, your second cousin’s neighbor lied to you." Suizi caught her hand and patted it comfortingly, her voice full of sincerity.

"The one embracing and kissing wasn’t my Jingting, it was your man."

The elder sister-in-law was flabbergasted.

Trying to shrug off Suizi’s hand, her chubbier hand held even tighter, five of her fingertips pressing into the elder sister-in-law’s flesh.

"If you don’t believe me, go home and ask. That day, your husband was wearing green trousers and a red sweater, his hands wrapped around a maiden’s waist. I was embarrassed for him—how could he make such a mistake when he’s already a married man with kids!"

Suizi had easily assumed a dominant position in the conversation.

The outfit she described was common for nine out of ten male villagers. The only one who didn’t dress like that was Yu Tiegen.

Suizi’s storytelling could captivate any audience, even the Newspaper Agency.

Her vivid and lively descriptions left the elder sister-in-law doubtful and awestruck.

"How do you know?"

"Because my great-uncle’s third cousin’s son’s neighbor across the street saw it. You can go home and ask your husband. If he denies it, then it definitely happened."

Only a fool would admit to such a thing.

The elder sister-in-law, with a gloomy face, understood. She’d been suspecting her husband of being unfaithful, and here he was! It was already out of control!

Suizi retorted with the elder sister-in-law’s own words, unaltered.

"What’s past is past, let it go, it’s not worth it."

Who can’t advise others to be magnanimous? Hypocrite.

Failing to sow discord between Suizi and Yu Jingting, the elder sister-in-law had been checkmated instead.

She vented all the way home, ready to have it out with her husband.

The matriarch was still praising Wang Cuihua’s daughter-in-law on the way home, which agitated the elder sister-in-law even more, and they started to quarrel.

Meanwhile, in the Yu family, a storm was quietly brewing.

"What did the elder sister-in-law say to you just now? I saw she had a sour face, she wasn’t speaking any good words, was she?"

"She didn’t say much... she just mentioned, the maiden from the Wang family, who is she?"

Suizi’s voice was very soft, very soft.
