Chapter 284: Chapter 284: My Daughter-in-law has Advanced Towards a Well-off Life

After dinner, Wang Cuihua pulled out a special wooden hammer engraved with the shape of ancient coins.

She gripped the hammer forcefully and stamped the yellow papers, imprinting them with embossments resembling coins.

Once a sheet of paper was full, it could be burned at the street corner.

Jiaojiao squatted beside Wang Cuihua, watching, resting her chin on her hands.

She was well-familiar with this process.

Since her earliest memories, her father was always embedded in scenes like these.

On each occasion the festival of the underworld was observed, her mother would imprint the yellow papers while her brother wrote letters on them.

Yu Jingting’s handwriting wasn’t bad, not sure if it was specifically practiced for writing these letters to their father. But when it came to brush pen writing, it was all skewered.

Starting this year, the letter writer was now Suizi.

"Bro, I never knew your writing was so terrible until I saw my sister-in-law’s brush pen writing. Compared to her’s, yours look like a dog’s paw."

Yu Jingting threatened with a fist, causing Jiaojiao to withdraw and stop.

After a two-second pause, curiosity made her lean in again, asking about the beautiful yet incomprehensible writing on Suizi’s yellow paper.

"Sis-in-law, what are these characters you’re writing?"

"Xiaozhuan, want to learn?"

Jiaojiao shook her head like a wave drum, it looked so complicated.

Wang Cuihua had finally filled a yellow paper with coins, stood up and praised Suizi’s letter in awe.

"Your writing is really good, but it’s a pity I can’t understand a single word—what are you writing?"

"The deceased had a noble character; he was hardworking, kind, and upright all his life. In order to pay respect to his character and accomplishments, compensate for his loving upbringing, the dutiful sons and daughters contribute many ten thousand taels."

Wang Cuihua was satisfied. Having an educated background indeed made a difference, her letter for money delivering was much better than the ones Yu Tiegen wrote.

"Learn from your wife, look at what you’ve written in the past."

The letters of Yu Jingting only said to burn money for the sake of eating and drinking well.

"Everything is almost ready; I’ll take it to be burned. You three stay at home."

With everything in place, Wang Cuihua picked up the paper and went out to burn it on the street.

Yu Jingting pulled Suizi into a small room and hugged her with both arms.

"Are you gonna confess, or should I resort to torture?"

"Okay, I admit, the letter I wrote wasn’t a requiem; in fact, written in Xiaozhuan, it’s ’unite to develop China’... Anyway, it’s all positive."

But her father-in-law is still alive, how could she burn that kind of script for the dead.

"I only wrote in Xiaozhuan as I feared mother-in-law would be able to read it."

"Who asked for that? You should know what I want to ask." Yu Jingting followed up.

Seeing Suizi still trying to dodge the question, he went straight to the point.

"When we were doing business before, you were all in favor, as if you couldn’t wait to drill into the money, completely obsessed—"

"I wasn’t nearly as exaggerated as you described!" Suizi protested, she just has a little natural love for money, who doesn’t?

"So why all of a sudden you called to stop? Even mom didn’t have your insider information, how did you know?" He asked.

"I had a dream, in which two radishes told me." Suizi told the truth.

"You use the excuse you use to fool mom on me?" This was the routine he had leftover!

"Uh . . . " Suizi was speechless.

Although it sounded like nonsense, this was the true story. If he didn’t believe her, what could she do?

"Let me tell you the truth. Actually, I have memories of my past life and I knew something was going to happen, that’s why I stopped. Do you believe me?"

"You think I’m a fool?"

Suizi spread out her hands. See, the truth sometimes sounded ridiculous.

"If you don’t believe what I tell you, what do you think it is?" Suizi asked.

"Did Du Zhong secretly approach you?"

"???"

How did he skip over all the truth and come up with this totally unreliable hypothesis?

Suizi’s astonished expression was interpreted by Yu Jingting as a sign of guilt.

Yu Jingting kicked the wall resentfully, and said ominously.

"Stay away from this Du guy, I told you he’s into you! He told you this, he meant no good!"

Yu Jingting believed, Suizi’s timely withdrawal must be because someone had tipped her off. And this person could very well be Du Zhong.

"..." Suizi felt it better to stay silent.

But she still couldn’t help but ask—

"What makes you think that someone would be interested in a fat pregnant woman?"

Actually, she wanted to ask this question last time when he said that Du Zhong liked her.

She admitted that Du Zhong liked her in the previous life, but then she was more than a few pounds lighter, and she is now a pregnant woman.

How shameless and unscrupulous would Du Zhong have to be to be interested in a woman who is already pregnant?

"Being fat and ugly are two completely different concepts. You can find ugly people everywhere, but an attractive fat person like you is unique! If you were in the Tang Dynasty, who would care about Yang Guifei?"

"..." Suizi was silent.

Was he praising her, or was he being sarcastic?

"Are you questioning my taste in women?!" He lifted her chin, pecked her, and admired her charm.

"If you were Yang Guifei, I would also skip court every day!"

Suizi’s smile grew bigger. Although she knew he was teasing her, sweet nothings, like tiny bugs nibbling at your heart, were impossible to resist.

"Wife, you should be on the news! A big close-up on you! My wife is so beautiful she’s causing a stir!"

Yu Jingting traced his chubby wife’s curves with his hand, causing Suizi to blush.

"You’re over-praising, I’m not that great."

"No, no, no, I’m not exaggerating. The news must do a close-up on you; you’re the only one who can manifest China’s increasingly growing national happiness index!"

Suizi’s smile froze: ???

Yu Jingting bravely continued:

"The evil capitalists are always spreading rumors, saying we don’t have enough to eat. A prick at you on the news, and the rumors will be self-destructed!"

Yu Jingting didn’t mean to mock, he truly thought Suizi was special.

Though they were now quite wealthy, he still held onto his farmer’s simplicity.

Eating well and having meat leads to weight gain.

Round it off, being fat=being rich=well-off.

His wife had already taken the lead to be well-off!

Suizi grabbed the duster and swung it at him.

"Chen Hansui! I was praising you, why are you attacking me?"

After throwing the duster, Suizi was still angry; she grabbed the broomstick and started swinging at him.

"Stop running!"

Yu Jingting was completely puzzled, why was she suddenly throwing a tantrum?

Are women such complex species?

Suizi went to bed angry. When she woke up, she saw a big face right in front of her—he was still sleeping.

Yu Jingting’s sleeping pose radiated a sense of happiness.

One arm was under his wife’s pillow, and one hand was rubbing the future baby bottles, it couldn’t be more satisfying.

The happier he was, the angrier Suizi got.

He said that yesterday, and she dreamed of losing weight all night!!!

She wanted to bite his nose, but on second thought—no.

If she bit him, he would wake up. What if he took the opportunity to play the victim and tease her?

She rolled her eyes, had a plan.
