Chapter 264: Chapter 264: Before Facing Outside Problems, Fix Internal Ones First

"Why would she know where we live and even when you are not at home?"

Suizi had previously felt something was amiss.

When Yu Shuilian caused a fuss today, she figured it out.

"She must have asked around among the folks and learned where we moved to, and then she sneaked in when you were not at home!!! She’s spying on us!"

The fact that she ran as soon as she saw Yu Jingting suggests that Yu Shuilian knows Yu Jingting is tough.

"Wow, she’s really going to great lengths." Yu Jingting felt even more like harming her.

"She tried to introduce us to suitors before -- but why does she only come when you’re not around?"

The more Suizi thought about it, the more scared she became.

Her previous life experience of being murdered made her think more than others in this life.

When something happens, she always thinks the worst of people. She knows this is not good and feels that she might have some post-traumatic stress disorder. She’s thinking about seeing a psychologist when they become available in the country, to address her tendency to overthink when facing problems.

For any normal woman, a visit from a relative would not lead to conjuring up conspiracy theories like Suizi does.

"Is she trying to trick mom into meeting suitors, then sell mom?"

Yu Jingting chuckled and pecked her little mouth.

"Have you been writing too many scripts for newspapers? The story is well made up. With me here, how dare she scheme against Mom?"

"But, what if she tells you mom eloped with someone? She could easily claim that mom didn’t want to stay at home and take care of the grandchild, so she ran away. If she says this, ninety percent of people would believe her."

The smile on Yu Jingting’s face slowly faded.

"I know this sounds far-fetched, but if we adopt a counterintuitive way of thinking, it makes sense. Because everyone knows you’re tough and wouldn’t dare to mess with you, her approach wouldn’t arouse suspicion."

"With so many people out there, why would she target our aging mom?"

"Mom is only in her early forties and so attractive. One might believe she is in her thirties. Yes, there are many people out there, but how many of them are as beautiful and capable as mom?"

Not only is Wang Cuihua beautiful, but she is also efficient as well.

Suizi and her husband earn money by working day in and day out, but she keeps the house in perfect order. The neighbors can’t believe Wang Cuihua moved from the countryside.

City people have misconceptions about the countryside. They always think the countryside is backwater, but there are many capable people there as well.

Wang Cuihua is hardworking, clean, and beautiful. In the eyes of a human trafficker, she is definitely a desirable target.

At this point, Suizi simply thought that Yu Shuilian, having tasted the sweetness of selling relatives’ children years ago, had slipped back into her old ways.

Now either she lacks money, or something has come up, and after considering all options, she turned her wicked idea towards Wang Cuihua.

Even Suizi, who is so thoughtful, didn’t expect that Yu Shuilian’s motive would be far more complicated than she had imagined.

Suizi’s mood to be intimate with her husband was completely gone. She sat up and grew angrier the more she thought about it.

She picked up her clothes to put them on, but Suizi stood up and held him back.

"What are you going to do?"

"I’m going to teach her a lesson."

Without a good beating, he wouldn’t be pacified.

"Calm down first, let’s think about it for the long-term. Maybe we can trace back along her line and find the children she sold before."

Suizi was thinking further ahead.

"If you go now, you’ll alert her. Tomorrow we can go see Liao Yong, see if he has any leads. It’s not appropriate to circumvent the police on this matter."

Yu Jingting pretended not to listen and made a deliberate effort to get up. Suizi could only snuggle up to him and eventually calmed him down by sweet-talking.

The next morning at breakfast, Suizi saw the unruffled look on Yu Jingting’s face, and suddenly realized something.

"You were doing it on purpose last night, weren’t you?!"

With his shrewdness, how could he react like a bumpkin when something happens? He always pays attention to details in his actions.

Pretending to be impulsive was just to fool her into taking the initiative!

"Wife, have some fried eggs to refresh your brain -- they say pregnancy makes a woman dumb for three years, your reaction is definitely getting slower."

He shamelessly admitted that, yes, he purposely deceived her into taking the initiative last night.

Suizi wanted to smack him. She was so angry that her cheeks were puffed up, which made her look even cuter in Yu Jingting’s eyes.

"What are you two playing at?" Wang Cuihua couldn’t understand what the affectionate couple was up to.

"Jiaojiao, go pack your school bag, I need to talk to mom about something."

Suizi sent Jiaojiao away and told her mother-in-law about her and Yu Jingting’s suspicion of Yu Shuilian.

"What the hell?! Is she out of her mind? Daring to sell me!" Wang Cuihua, with her explosive temper, blew up after hearing it.

She slapped the table forcefully and stood up rolling up her sleeves, ready to fight.

Suizi hastened to hold her down, along with Yu Jingting. Yu Jingting was only pretending to have a violent temper, while Wang Cuihua’s temper was really explosive.

It’s easy for her to flare up, and it’s hard to calm her down.

"Don’t hold me back. I’m going to crack her head open with a brick right now! I want to see what color her brains are, for being so audacious!"

Wang Cuihua was swearing fiercely.

Yu Jingting quickly gave Suizi a look, and Suizi had no choice but to clutch her belly and yelp in pain.

Immediately, Wang Cuihua stopped making a fuss.

"What’s wrong?"

"Mom, I think I was frightened..." Suizi covered her belly and moaned, and Wang Cuihua quickly helped her into the room.

She ran to fetch water and took care of her in various ways. After all that fuss, she almost forgot about her anger.

When Suizi saw that her mother-in-law had calmed down, she said that she was feeling better.

Wang Cuihua was quick to catch on, and after a few minutes, she figured it out and was amused.

"Suizi, you were teasing your mother, weren’t you?" She slapped Yu Jingting, "Did you instigate this? You’ve led our nice little Suizi astray too."

"Mom, neither of your two grandsons approve of your impulsiveness. We have to stay calm."

Suizi watched her husband getting scolded leisurely.

She deserved it! It’s retribution! Who made him fool her last night! Her knees were still a bit sore now.

She was pregnant and their position was...slightly awkward. Those who knew, would know.

Now he was being scolded by his mother, and Suizi felt incredibly satisfied.

Yu Jingting rolled his eyes. His mom wouldn’t listen to reason. If Suizi upset her, she wouldn’t hold Suizi accountable. She would hit him!

"Suizi, what do you want to do? Mom will listen to you." After scolding her son, Wang Cuihua felt much better.

Suizi shared her plan. When it comes to such illegal matters, they definitely can’t bypass the police.

Wang Cuihua was still somewhat dissatisfied. Suizi promised her that if Yu Shuilian really is a human trafficker, they would let Wang Cuihua "discuss life and their hopes" with her in a small dark room before handing her to the authorities.

Translated, that means: before handing her over, they will let Wang Cuihua beat her up in a small room. They can do whatever they want as long as they don’t harm her too severely.

Only then did Wang Cuihua calm down after Suizi appeased her.

After settling things at home, Suizi, having taken half a day off, went to the station with Yu Jingting.

As it happened, Liao Yong wanted to see Suizi, so the couple’s arrival was well-timed.
