I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 282: Truly a Filial Son

Chapter 282: Chapter 282: Truly a Filial Son

Wang Cuihua’s Achilles’ heel is her "deceased husband". Yu Jingting takes advantage of this, and with a little coaxing, she believes him.

If it’s her "deceased husband" visiting her in a dream and telling her not to trade goods, then she’d rather believe it than ignore it. So she decides to stop doing business.

Yu Jingting helped Suizi to fudge this awkward situation. Suizi then pulls him into the room to whisper something.

"How are you going to explain this to mum once we find dad?"

Yu Jingting’s father is still alive, after all. The whole "dream visit" thing is bound to be exposed sooner or later.

"Once we find him, I’ll simply tell mom that being superstitious is not good. Won’t she serve as a negative example?"

What a loyal son indeed.

Suizi is at a loss for words.

"Ah, I can already imagine getting a good beating from dad once we find him..." Yu Jingting suddenly appeared "gloomy and sorrowful".

Suizi felt both heartbroken and guilty seeing this.

He’s shouldered everything because he’s been protecting her.

"Jingting, you’re doing all this for me, and yet I’m still losing my temper at you. I..." Suizi choked up, almost on the verge of tears.

Now, if Yu Jingting were to tell her that a deer was a horse, she would believe it.

She didn’t even give a thought to the logic. If they really find her father-in-law in the future, wouldn’t her mother-in-law be so grateful to the local street punks that they wouldn’t dare beat them?

He was intentionally playing the sympathy card to take advantage.

When a woman is immersed in emotion, her IQ tends to nosedive.

Suizi’s unguarded starry eyes made the street punk feel a tiny bit guilty.

But soon, evil thoughts overcame his conscience, which was as small as a fingernail.

Yu Jingting cleared his throat.

"I learned a new piece of music, I’ll play it for you."

Suizi hesitated slightly. She really didn’t want to hear that depressing suona.

But considering everything Yu Jingting has sacrificed for her, she decided to brace herself for it.

She and the twins in her belly should be able to endure the unpleasant melody. Just grit her teeth and it’ll be over soon, right?

Suizi greatly underestimated the thick skin of Yu Jingting.

She thought he simply wanted her to appreciate his "suona performance".

Unexpectedly, this was actually part of his elaborate scheme.

After the song ended, Yu Jingting put down his suona.

"Did you figure out what the song is meant to be?"

"Um, is it ’The Little Girl Picking Mushrooms’?" Suizi is still trapped within the sad melody.

A once joyful children’s song, when played on suona, transforms into a depressing tune.

It gives off the vibe that the little girl picked some poisonous red and white mushrooms, ate them, and made her whole family lie flat.

"Um, do you like it?"

"Uh..." Suizi hesitated, this honest girl is really not good at lying.

"If you don’t like it, it proves that you have failed to grasp the true essence of the song. I have decided to dedicate a performance to you every morning and evening!"

"I like it! It’s great!" Suizi exclaimed, fearing that he might actually put the song on replay. She lied out of her conscience.

"Hmm, if you really like it, then please reward me for my performance. As the lyrics suggest..." Yu Jingting whispered something into her ear.

"Yu... Tie... Gen!!! Have you no shame?!!"

It’s just an innocent children’s nursery rhyme!

Even a nursery rhyme could be misinterpreted, is this guy even human?!!!

Dinner time, at the dining table

"Hehe, sister-in-law, I have some good news to tell you!" Jiaojiao said mysteriously.

"What good news? Are you punished for doodling in class again or called in to see the teacher for fighting with boys?" Yu Jingting asked.

"Bro, are you just jealous about my double-stripes ranking? Have a closer look but don’t touch and ruin it."

Jiaojiao turned sideways to show her badge with two stripes to Yu Jingting.

Ever since she got this double-stripes ranking, she had been bragging about it more than ten times a week. She would always flaunt it whenever she caught Yu Jingting.

"Bro, you will never be able to get double-stripes in this life. Looking at me now, do you regret not cherishing your school days and studying hard?"

"What’s there for me to regret? I might not have the chance to achieve double-stripes in my life, but I’ve married a woman with triple-stripes. Back in my sister-in-law’s school days, she didn’t even care about double-stripes, she only aimed for triple-stripes. If there were ten or eight stripes, she could get that too!"

Yu Jingting winked at Suizi.

Suizi was still upset, and continued eating her porridge without looking at the show-off man.

Deciding not to entertain Yu Jingting for the next few hours, Suizi chose to give him the silent treatment. Humph!

"My sister-in-law is remarkable, but what does that have to do with you? Fine, I’ll tell you the good news. I’ve been selected by the school to represent the school in the city-wide cultural and arts festival. I’m performing the piano~"

The teacher said there would be photos and it might even make the newspapers.

Such an honor really made the whole family happy.

"Sister-in-law, am I great?" Jiaojiao looked eagerly at Suizi.

Suizi was Jiaojiao’s idol. She craved for Suizi’s acknowledgement.

Suizi was delighted and said with a smile:

"Talent is a sword, hard work is a sharpening stone. Jiaojiao, you not only have talent but are also willing to work hard. If you carry on, your efforts will be as unstoppable as a swift sword. So, what are you planning to play?"

"The piece my brother has been practicing recently. I thought it sounded good so I learned it too!"

"Ahem!"

"Haha!" Yu Jingting couldn’t help laughing. "That song, your sister-in-law knows it too."

"Yu Jingting, do you know how to say ’gun’ in English?"

"qiang?"

"gun!!!!" Suizi felt like biting him now.

Jiaojiao couldn’t understand what her brother and sister-in-law were saying. She looked to Wang Cuihua, expecting encouragement from her mother.

Unfortunately, Wang Cuihua now only knew how to sigh and didn’t eat much of the dinner.

She was expressionless while dipping her green onion into soybean paste, cooling off her anger.

"Mom, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing much, just your heartless father! When he kicked the bucket, you and your brother didn’t get anything from him. Now he’s even obstructing us from getting rich. I don’t know what on earth he is thinking..."

Wang Cuihua savagely bit into a big piece of green onion, scaring Jiaojiao into silence.

She lowered her voice and asked Suizi.

"What’s wrong with mom? Why is she cursing dad out of the blue?"

Based on Jiaojiao’s experience, when Wang Cuihua said "thinking back", she would follow with a long rant about Tiegen, and wouldn’t stop for at least ten to fifteen minutes.

Suizi shook her head, signaling Jiaojiao not to stir up trouble.

Wang Cuihua was straightforward about her feelings. She was angry now because a great sum of money had disappeared, the business had failed, and she was blaming everything on her late husband, cursing fluidly.

"If you want to blame someone, blame me, mom. Not father-in-law." Suizi said uncomfortably.

"Why should I blame you? I’m not senile yet. I know who’s good and who’s bad. You’ve been devoted to this family since you married in. You wouldn’t betray us. If anyone is to blame, it’s that bastard. The old tortoise even threatened me, saying he would find a younger man in the afterlife."

Suizi stalled, the last sentence from mother-in-law could be the real reason for her anger, right?

"After dinner, have Tiegen buy some yellow paper. I’ll write a letter to burn for that bastard. I swear I will curse him to death!"

"Mom, isn’t Dad already dead?" Jiaojiao muttered.

"I’ll curse him to death over and over!"

Now Wang Cuihua was really angry, even wanting to fight with a "dead man".

Suizi stealthily pulled at Yu Jingting. See, this is all your fault! Now, how are you going to fix this?
