I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 255: A Slight Happiness

Chapter 255: Chapter 255: A Slight Happiness

When Wang Cuihua woke up, she felt as if the Yu family’s world had turned upside down.

Chen Lijun was wearing an apron and cooking in the kitchen while Suizi was quietly washing vegetables beside her.

Despite the silence, there was an unusually harmonious atmosphere.

Suizi was not very talkative herself, it was only when she was with Yu Jingting that she seems influenced by his incessant chatter.

Chen Lijun was not a chatterbox either, so when these two were together, the room was exceptionally quiet.

The clacking sound of the knife hitting the chopping board, mixed with the flow of the washing vegetables’ water, formed a scene of peaceful and warm everyday life.

After finishing his morning wash, Yu Jingting sauntered over, leaned against the wall beside Suizi, babbling incessantly, teasing his wife from time to time, and he would also smoothly flatter his mother-in-law whenever she glanced over.

In Wang Cuihua’s eyes, her son was the only one acting normally within this abnormal picture, remaining as annoying as ever.

Wang Cuihua walked towards Yu Jingting, just as he was about to tease her about the sleep in her eyes, Wang Cuihua reached out and pinched him~

"Ouch!" Yu Jingting held his arm, looking wronged, "What the heck?! I didn’t even say anything to provoke you yet?!"

"Did it hurt?"

"What a stupid question! Your hands are like giant pincers, anyone would hurt if they got pinched?!" Yu Jingting held his arm and moved over to his mother-in-law’s side, seizing the opportunity to tattle.

"If it hurts then you’re not dreaming. What is going on?" Wang Cuihua was completely taken aback.

She had drunk herself into a stupor last night.

All she remembered was that she had spoken quite a bit to Suizi’s mother. The usually reserved Lijun had even shed tears, saying she didn’t know when Suizi would be like before and finally call her mom again.

"Mom, see, my mother intermittently hits me, and now even Suizi has started to imitate her, always domestically abusing me!"

Hehe, now he had someone to back him up.

"Mom, I didn’t do anything." Suizi pulled her hand out from the vegetable basin and splashed water onto Yu Jingting’s face in the process.

Daring to seize this opportunity to tattle and sell her out, Tsk!

"Suizi, if you have something to say, say it nicely, don’t resort to physical actions." Chen Lijun subtly moved further away from Yu Jingting to avoid being splashed with water.

Adhering to the characteristics of a shrewd Chinese mother-in-law, she must openly protect her son-in-law whenever there is a conflict.

"Can I be heard over him?" Suizi realized her tone had somewhat coquettish, feeling a little embarrassed, she quickly looked around at everyone’s reaction.

Her mother-in-law’s mouth was still ajar, still stuck in absolute astonishment.

Her own mom scolded her with her mouth, but her eyes were full of indulgence.

Yu Jingting— he was exaggeratedly picking his nose, intentionally provoking Suizi. Suizi turned her face away in disgust, disregarding this big jerk.

"Lijun, you guys, you guys are?!" Wang Cuihua gestured towards Suizi, then towards her old friend, startled and confused about the situation in front of her.

"It’s thanks to Jingting. With him mediating, our stubborn daughter finally got her act together." Chen Lijun smiled genially, firstly praising her son-in-law, and then swiftly changed the topic.

"Jingting, Suizi is indeed a bit stubborn, but water thrown out is impossible to retrieve, I won’t take her back."

"How could she be taken back, I am not getting enough of her yet." Facing Chen Lijun, Yu Jingting automatically activated his brown-noser mode, praising Suizi, and then, in the end, struck the main point.

"My wife is so good, it’s all because my mother-in-law taught her well."

Chen Lijun’s eyes flickered with satisfaction.

"If she annoys you, just tell me, and I’ll scold her. Rest assured, I definitely won’t favor her." She said, and then the cleaver heavily fell down, and the cabbage was tragically beheaded.

Once translated, it meant: I can hit my own daughter, but you must absolutely not use physical violence against her. If you dare hit my daughter, your fate will be like this cabbage.

Suizi gave a snort of laughter.

Look at this layabout! As her biological mother, how could she possibly side with him?

Seeing Suizi laughing so freely, a smile crept onto Yu Jingting’s face too.

She’s been married for a while, but today was the day she laughed most freely.

While Chen Lijun and Wang Cuihua were busy chatting, Suizi sneaked a question to him.

"Regret it now, huh? Thought bringing my mom here would shield you? You wouldn’t dare bully me now, I’ve got backup."

Yu Jingting picked up a piece of cabbage from the cutting board and gnawed at it, "When have I ever bullied you?"

The smug look in Suizi’s eyes was nearly overflowing, making his heart flutter. His hand was also wandering.

While their mothers were turned away and couldn’t see, his hand swiftly squeezed the future baby bottle. The feeling...ah, splendid.

"No shame!" Suizi’s heart nearly jumped out of her throat in panic, she pinched him. This guy always takes advantage of her at the most inappropriate times!

"Ah!" Yu Jingting cried out in pain, drawing the attention of their mothers. Trembling, he held up the partially eaten cabbage, playing the victim. "I’m just trying to eat some cabbage, and she won’t let me~~~"

Suizi was nearly choking on her own anger. She’d never seen such a shameless person!

Yu Jingting shot her a smug look. Dare to tell your mother-in-law? Let’s see if you dare tell the truth!

Suizi dared not. She could only glare at Yu Jingting, the shameless scoundrel. Wait until they were alone, she’d give him what for!

"You ruined it! There’s only a bit of that cabbage left, how am I supposed to cook now?" Wang Cuihua scolded her son.

"It’s just cabbage. Take another, don’t always pick on Jingting." Chen Lijun reprimanded her daughter.

The two women exchanged a look, making jibes about their children, their criticism soon turning to mutual praises.

This typical mother-in-law and daughter-in-law interaction among northern families was something Suizi had never dared to dream of.

She always felt that the happiness others could easily grasp was an insurmountable mountain for her, something she might not achieve in two lifetimes.

But now, in this room filled with people closest to her, she suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to cry.

Turned out, once you cross that mountain, looking back, it’s just a molehill, nothing that couldn’t be overcome.

Tears of gratitude were pooling in her eyes when a large hand gently rested on her stomach. The movement in her belly felt like two little fish swimming around.

Suizi turned her head to meet his smiling eyes.

"Once you’ve given birth, our moms will take leave and come take care of your postpartum needs, then they can stay longer with you."

It’s still months till we can meet again... Suizi looked at Chen Lijun with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"No worries, if you miss her, I’ll take you to Fan Hua’s office when he’s not there and we can call her."

"Why go to Fan Hua’s office?"

"If the Fan Family checks the call logs, they’ll surely suspect he’s conspiring with our mom. And we won’t have to pay for the call!"

Suizi found it hilarious, the idea was crafty, and she liked it.

The heavy stone in her heart was gone, even her laughter was more carefree. Yu Jingting watched her, mesmerized by her smile.

Last night, she was nestled in Yu Jingting’s arms, smiling in her dreams.

He had never seen Suizi act so blissfully naive before, like a carefree teenager.

She was always calm and reserved in public, even with him, she was charming and feminine, but always with a hint of melancholy.

"Thank you..." Suizi mumbled, barely louder than a mosquito, while chopping vegetables. Yu Jingting heard her clearly nonetheless.

"No need for thanks. You can help me clear the blocked pipe tonight. When you’re too full, you overflow. That’s a principle even Dayu understood, you should too - ouch no, are you pinching again?!"
