Chapter 283: Chapter 283: Another Village Emerges From the Darkness

The situation was a little awkward to resolve.

Wang Cuihua developed a resentful "ghost", while Suizi was worried about how to explain things to Wang Hui.

Both families were in business together, and her last-minute withdrawal had squandered Wang Hui’s goodwill. Suizi had initially planned to explain things to Wang Hui that very night, but she wasn’t able to.

The doors to Wang Hui’s house were locked, unknowingly if she was busy or if she was deliberately giving Suizi the silent treatment and didn’t want to see her.

Actually, Suizi quite understood Wang Hui. From her perspective, if she had been in Wang Hui’s shoes, she’d definitely be upset too.

She could only come up with plans as to how to explain to her once they had a chance to meet.

The contradictory nature of the Reincarnator is shown in full detail at this moment.

But at this point, Suizi didn’t feel as lonely as yesterday.

The unconditional support from Yu Jingting gave Suizi a strong belief and deeply touched her.

Even though he may not fully agree with Suizi’s decision to fold, he still gave her support and even helped her smooth things out with her mother-in-law.

Breaking his father’s wall to fix his wife’s.

This home would eventually be something they would have to protect together.

Suizi realized clearly that as long as the development of events follows her predictions, Yu Jingting would trust her even more in the future, and the couple would take a step closer towards a united front.

Waiting was a long process.

After Suiz’s family quit the Morning Market, another family rode the momentum and rose.

It was the family Wang Cuihua saw unloading goods from a horse-drawn carriage.

Wang Cuihua purposely strolled to the Morning Market to take a look and upon return, she laid in bed and couldn’t get up; her gums were all swollen.

"Mom, try this popsicle. It will make you feel better," Yu Jingting hands over a popsicle.

Wang Cuihua weakly snatches the popsicle from his hand, gives out a cry, and takes a big bite.

A toothache may not be a disease, but when it’s acting up, it’s terribly painful. She was hoping the ice could alleviate the pain a bit.

"Hey, hey, hey, don’t eat it!" Suizi comes in with water and medicine and sees Yu Jingting being so reckless, it almost gave her a headache.

"It’s fine. Eating ice cures toothaches. When I had a toothache back home, I ate a popsicle. It worked wonders," said Yu Jingting, speaking from his experience.

Suizi rubbed her forehead.

"There are many types of toothaches. Eating ice to relieve tooth pain is based on the premise that the inflammation has already turned into pus. But if you eat ice when the pulpitis just starts, it will exacerbate the pain."

Wang Cuihua looked at the popsicle in her hand and suddenly felt it was not as appealing.

When she first bit into it, her mouth indeed felt much better, so she was somewhat dubious about Suizi’s explanation.

While she hesitated with the popsicle in her hand, Yu Jingting retorted unconvinced.

"This remedy has been passed down from our grandfather. It has worked for everyone else, so why not for mom?"

Wang Cuihua nodded subconsciously. Yeah.

Isn’t it the same rationale as doing business?

Others can sell goods without a problem. Why can’t we?

With that thought in mind, her impatience and frustration returned. She really wanted to eat the popsicle to cool off.

"What works for others may not necessarily work for us. There are some things that may not seem problematic at first, but as time progresses—"

"Oh my goodness! It hurts so much!"

Wang Cuihua covered her face. After the brief numbing sensation from the ice, the pain in her tooth doubled.

Suizi quickly handed Wang Cuihua some painkillers. See, what was she saying?

Yu Jingting blinked his eyes, his feet inching towards the door.

"I told you not to buy ice for Mom, but you just had to mess around—don’t run!" Suizi wanted to settle the score with him, but by the time she lifted her head, he had run out into the street.

After taking the painkiller, Wang Cuihua felt much better and, holding Suizi’s hand, started chatting about the family.

"Suizi, why do I feel so upset? Today I went to the Morning Market and saw that family being so cocky, collecting their money in such a big waist bag!"

Wang Cuihua gestured around her waist. Too much of a provocation!

She didn’t even have such a big bag to hold her money!

"I heard people saying that the Morning Market is planning to extend its trading hours into the day too. Can you imagine how much that family will earn in a day? I bet they are still doing business at this very moment."

"Mom, there must be a reason Grandpa appeared in my dream, let’s observe for a few more days."

"Your grandpa is an unreliable person, dying young and leaving me with such a big family—"

Wang Cuihua was complaining when she heard her son say in the courtyard, "Is that Sister Wang coming?"

Wang Hui rushed over from outside, her face full of worry.

Wang Cuihua thought she had come to accuse and blame, so she propped herself up, ready to apologize to Wang Hui.

No matter whose decision it was, she was the mother in this family, and she had to step forward in times of trouble to protect her troublesome children.

"Auntie Hua! Things are serious!" Wang Hui rushed in, panting heavily in front of Wang Cuihua.

"Little Hui, if we are to blame, it’s my fault, it’s the fault of my dead husband. It has nothing to do with Suizi or Tiegen." Wang Cuihua, gripping Wang Hui’s hand, was on the verge of tears.

Apologies to my ally.

"Why blame you? We’re just too lucky!"

"What?"

"There was an incident at the Morning Market. We’re lucky to have withdrawn early, otherwise we’d be done for."

Wang Hui was still shaken, she almost lost her job, and everyone almost got arrested.

"Sister Wang, what exactly happened?" Suizi and Yu Jingting, who had followed her into the room, glanced at each other.

"Speaking of it, it’s scary...."

Wang Hui didn’t participate in the procurement yesterday because her daughter was ill.

Her daughter had a high fever of thirty-nine degrees and was hospitalized.

So when Suizi went to her house, it was locked.

All her concerns were about her child, so she didn’t notice that Yu Jingting’s family hadn’t gone to purchase goods.

In the morning, when her child’s condition stabilized, she went back to work, only to hear from her leader that there was an investigation into the Morning Market.

It was the provincial authorities who came to investigate directly, bypassing the city’s authorities.

Wang Hui was scared witless. She sprinted to the Morning Market, just in time to see a bundle of people being arrested.

"It’s good that you guys didn’t go. If you had, not only would we have lost our jobs, but we would have also lost the goods, maybe even fined."

Wang Hui was still shaking with fear.

That was too close.

Both Suizi and her have proper jobs. Even Yu Jingting is affiliated with the Tobacco Company.

In this day and age, losing a job is akin to losing a life. What’s the difference?

Wang Cuihua, with her mouth agape, took a while to respond.

"Is my dead husband...truly showing his spirit?"

Touching her face, she realized that her inflamed tooth didn’t hurt anymore.

"It’s the painkillers taking effect." Suizi let out a long breath of relief.

This crisis, it seems, has just passed.

Because Suizi hit the brakes in time, saving the whole family from a huge loss.

While they were talking, Professor Sun rushed in.

"Suizi! Your mom called and told you guys to withdraw immediately. She said there’s a new policy from above and her news is delayed."

The situation changed every moment. One moment it was lax, the next it tightened up. Even the usually well-informed Chen Lijun dropped the ball this time.

While everyone was feeling relieved, only Yu Jingting squinted at Suizi.

Her prediction was eerily accurate.

That evening, the family ate noodles solemnly, hoping for peace.

Despite having made no losses and stopped before things got worse, thinking of those who couldn’t get out in time filled their hearts with heaviness.

"Tiegen, buy some yellow paper later, I need to write a thank-you letter to your ghost father."

With her toothache gone and her anger subsided, Wang Cuihua could only praise her "ghost" husband.

Suizi noticed two sets of eyes from Yu Jingting on her, so she hurriedly lowered her head and ate her rice, knowing he surely had questions for her.
