Chapter 243: Chapter 243 Skilled at Raising Wild Pigs Business

Yu Jingting didn’t expect Suizi to come.

Faced with imminent exposure, he had a flash of inspiration.

"She’s a friend of Professor Sun, we were discussing postnatal care for wild boars."

"Keeping wild boars?"

"Yes, in Beijing’s research institute, they’re studying the issue of wild boars having multiple piglets per pregnancy. Recently, a pregnant wild boar lost her appetite, and since I’ve kept pigs in the village before, I thought I’d share some of my experience - do you want to chat with her?"

Yu Jingting made an inviting gesture to Suizi.

Professor Sun was nearly scared out of her wits, fearing that Suizi might take over the conversation. Wouldn’t that reveal the truth?

"I don’t know how to keep pigs. You better handle this."

Yu Jingting’s mouth curled up.

"In terms of keeping wild boar piglets, you’re indeed not as experienced as me."

Not only could he raise them, but he also had some excellent small pig breeding skills!

The twins in her belly were the proof!

"Yu, Tie, Gen!" Chen Lijun’s teeth-grinding voice came through the receiver. She was listening.

This rascal, was he really calling her maiden a wild boar?

Jiaojiao sat on the piano stool, emotionlessly playing "Hanon".

This was every piano student’s nightmare–ugly and boring, yet unavoidable.

Suizi stood behind Jiaojiao, patiently watching the girl practice piano.

She sneaked a glance at Professor Sun, eyes filled with admiration.

She wanted to listen to Professor Sun’s live performance, but was too shy to ask.

Yu Jingting saw the expression on Suizi’s face, guessed her thoughts, and winked at her playfully. Watch me, little sister!

"Darling, stay away from the piano. You’re playing it like you’re fluffing cotton. Don’t upset the babies in your belly with this horrible foreign tune."

Yu Jingting was using reverse psychology, and Professor Sun took the bait, not wanting to hear any more.

"These exercises are basic skills. Only by practicing these skills can you play well. Jiaojiao, can you move aside for a moment?"

Professor Sun dismissed Jiaojiao, and started playing the Liuyang River.

She had to reclaim the dignity of "foreign tunes." They were definitely not cotton-fluffing!

Suizi listened to the smooth melody, entranced, and the twins in her belly moved a bit.

Yu Jingting bought her a piano cassette, but nothing compared to a live performance.

After the song ended, Suizi wanted more, but she was too shy to ask.

Seeing her desire, Professor Sun kindly played a few more songs.

Listening to the music gave Suizi great pleasure, while Yu Jingting just kept grimacing. How could this foreign tune ever compete with the lively sounds of a suona?

After leaving Professor Sun’s house, Suizi said to Yu Jingting:

"Don’t you think that Professor Sun is especially nice to me?"

Wouldn’t she be? After all, she’s your aunt. Yu Jingting thought as much, but replied diplomatically that it was simply the mysterious connection between people.

"She refuses to accept my tuition fee. All I could do is make some food for her, but I always feel like I’m taking advantage of her."

"If she dares to take money, someone will blow the roof off her house."

"Don’t you dare meddle, she’s Jiaojiao’s mentor!" Suizi thought he was threatening to make trouble for Professor Sun.

Little did she know, Yu Jingting was referring to her mother-in-law.

Her mother-in-law was indeed very protective of Suizi.

That Jiaojiao was able to have such a fantastic mentor was all down to her mother-in-law’s efforts.

Any slightest trouble at Suizi’s school, and her mother-in-law, despite the distance, would know about it.

Looking at Suizi’s pregnant belly, and thinking about her mother-in-law’s caring inquiries on the phone, she must want to see her grandchildren very much.

"Sweetheart, your uncle will have a vacation soon, he’s thinking about visiting us." Yu Jingting tested the water.

"Great, the river fish is ready to serve. Let’s treat our uncle to some fish."

River fish, the number one of the top four delicacies in Dongbei, is particularly fresh and incredibly delicious.

Seeing that Suizi doesn’t have any significant objections to her maternal uncle, Yu Jingting continues to probe.

"I remember, doesn’t your mother like river fish too?" Maybe, after a daughter-in-law becomes a mother, she won’t hate her mother-in-law as much?

Suizi stops, her face, which was just filled with smiles, instantly becomes taut, her eyes warily watching him.

"Did you contact her?" Her voice, enveloped in a chilly breeze, gives Yu Jingting a jolt.

"I just mentioned it casually, if you don’t want to hear it, I won’t bring it up."

"She’s a high-class city person who looks down on this rural kid. You’re eager to give gifts, only to let her look down on us? She might even think that we’re trying to curry favor with her to get you a new job."

Suizi takes a deep breath, her good mood utterly ruined.

Yu Jingting dares not bring it up again; his probing has failed.

He initially thought it would be best if Suizi accepted her mother-in-law before their child’s birth.

The mere mention of her mother-in-law sets Suizi on edge, as if she just ate gunpowder. He fears this wish of his might never come true.

Realizing her tone just now was too harsh, Suizi covertly adjusts her hair and casually says,

"I’m a stranger to her now. As the saying goes, ’to live without encroaching on each other’s territory’, we don’t disturb each other. I’m now at peace and don’t care about the past."

"Yep, you don’t care." Yeah, right! This lady cares more than anyone else.

Yu Jingting remembers that Suizi once used the same tone, claiming she was a mature woman, not caring about Wang Jialan.

But the truth was, she secretly filled her lesson plans with Jialan’s name.

"Why are you so twisted?"

The more she cares, the more she tries to pretend she doesn’t, just like a maze-like twisted donut - a chubby honey bun donut.

"What did you say?" Suizi squints dangerously.

Yu Jingting makes a zipper motion over his mouth. Can’t he remain silent?

He can’t offend the twisted donut; it’s just not worth it.

Feeling upset, Suizi goes to bed as soon as she gets home and falls asleep shortly after.

She has a messy dream about her childhood.

There was a famine in her childhood. There was no food at home, so Chen Lijun, seeing everyone go to the mountains for wild vegetables, also took little Suizi to the mountain.

Chen Lijun, a town lady who couldn’t tell one grain from another, raised Suizi in the same way.

Mother and daughter, both agnostic of wild veggies, blended in with the villagers digging for vegetables. Whatever others were digging, they followed suit.

Suizi brought back poisonous Miss Qucai mistaking it for Qu hemp; these two types of wild vegetables look very similar, and Chen Lijun couldn’t tell them apart either. She carelessly chopped them together and made buns.

The entire family swelled up after eating the buns and it took several days to recover.

Yu Jingting stands by the bed with his arms crossed, watching Suizi sleep, a look of sorrow on his face.

He doesn’t know what Suizi is dreaming about. He sees her giggling one moment and making crying faces the next.

Seeing Suizi’s lips pouting non-stop and mumbling something, he shifts his ear closer.

"Mom, it’s delicious..."

Yu Jingting castigated himself for his loose tongue.

Saying unnecessary things like bringing up the topic of her mother, causing his wife to miss her mom.

It was clear that Suizi missed Chen Lijun, yet she insisted on stubbornly clinging to her anger.

Her mother-in-law obviously cares for Suizi but refuses to say why she’s upset.

Suizi’s stubborn nature is inherited from Chen Lijun. Mother and daughter are like two peas in a pod; they’re so rigid with each other, and he wondered when it would end.

Seeing Suizi dreaming about her mom, Yu Jingting can’t bear it.

The issue was started by him, causing his wife distress; it’s only right that he should comfort her.

His gaze falls on the Suona in the box. His unutilized talent finally has a chance to shine.
