Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Even a Placenta is Better than Him

"I heard that the Zhang Family caught him, hacking at their newly built wall in the middle of the night with a pick. First thing in the morning, they brought him over to the village chief’s place. Tsk."

While cracking melon seeds, Wang Cuihua grumbled,

"Everyone’s gone gawking. No one’s come to me for advice today."

"No worries. Next time you give someone advice, you can ask for a higher price."

"Why?"

"Wasn’t it you who predicted that Li Youcai was going to vandalise the Zhang Family’s wall? Wasn’t it you who hinted at me with your glance yesterday to warn them?"

"Huh?!" Wang Cuihua was startled. When had she suggested to her daughter-in-law with her eyes—oh hold on, she remembered now.

She had hinted with her eyes to her daughter-in-law to help get goose eggs. Suizi went to tell them to beware of their wall, and she accidentally got it right?

Actually, this was all orchestrated by Suizi. She knew Li Youcai was sensitive about walls and guessed that he was going to tamper with it, so she specifically warned the Zhang Family.

The newly built wall was not sturdy, and it was easy to break open. Li Youcai did not disappoint Suizi and went to damage the wall in the middle of the night, getting caught red-handed.

"Mom, how are your predictions so accurate?" Suizi asked naively, giving all the credit to her mother-in-law.

"Uh, that..." Wang Cuihua couldn’t say that Suizi accidentally got it right, so she had to make up a reason, "It might be because you bring blessings to your in-laws’ house? I’m telling you, some women just naturally bless their in-laws. I figured this out before you got married—you bring a lot of good fortune to your husband’s family."

Praising each other, mother and daughter-in-law were quite pleased. "Your predictions are accurate," one said. "You bring blessings and prosperity," the other replied.

"Where did Jingting go?" Suizi hadn’t seen him since she got up this morning.

"I told him to go to Yang’s place to get some sheep’s milk. He’s been gone for a while now. I guess he went to watch the commotion at the village chief’s house."

The village chief’s house is next to Yang’s. Wang Cuihua understands her son pretty well.

With Li Youcai being dragged to the village chief’s house, you can bet that Tiegen would be there in the front row watching, always ready to stir up the crowd. He’s such a troublemaker.

Shortly after, Yu Jingting came back humming a tune. Not only did he bring a bottle of sheep’s milk, but he also brought a piece of mutton.

"I happened to run into Yang’s slaughtering a sheep. He gave me a piece of meat as a token of thanks."

He got to see a dramatic spectacle and scored a piece of mutton too. It was a win-win situation.

"Yang is such a tightwad, why would he be generous and give you meat? Are you up to no good again?"

No one knows a son better than his mother.

Yu Jingting gave a sly smile, clearly indicating there was more to the story.

His action piqued Suizi’s curiosity. She quickly offered him some shelled melon seeds in her palm, as a gesture of her willingness to listen.

Yu Jingting ate the aromatic melon seeds and, when Wang Cuihua wasn’t looking, licked Suizi’s palm, causing her to blush. After teasing his young wife, he began to recount what happened in a vivid manner.

Li Youcai was tied up and taken over by the Zhangs. The situation in the courtyard was tense, with the two families carrying a deep grudge against each other. How could things end well for Li Youcai now that the Zhang Family had evidence against him?

"Zhang was weak, hitting with the intensity of cotton, lacking power. Seeing him struggling, I provided some guidance from the sideline, I even handed him a brick."

The enthusiastic bystander Yu Tiegen explained while gesturing.

Wang Cuihua spat out a melon seed shell, clicking her tongue twice.

"You really are a piece of work."

Suizi nodded in agreement, her mother-in-law was right.

He was just a bystander, yet he added fuel to the fire, which was too damaging.

"Is it fair to say that many were looking forward to the wall being damaged? Li Youcai always walks around the village with his nose in the air, a lot of people find him obnoxious. When Zhang was beating him, Yang was chuckling on the sidelines."

"Wasn’t Yang in the middle of slaughtering a sheep?"

"He was laughing while slaughtering. With such an idiot getting beaten up in front of you, could you hold your laughter?"

Li Youcai was hilarious when he was getting whacked. If there was a tree, he would hold onto it; if there wasn’t one, he’d hold onto his head, not his butt.

Suizi thought about it. It was indeed true. Seeing Li Youcai getting beat up like a helpless koala yesterday was close to making her burst into laughter.

"Li Youcai didn’t dare to retaliate against me. Instead, he cursed at Yang, causing Yang to lose his temper. You guys know Yang, he’s a straightforward guy. When he gets upset, he doesn’t know what to say. Could I let an honest man be bullied right under my nose?"

Suizi nodded seriously.

"So while others are wolves from the north, you’re the mad dog from the north. You’d certainly want to bite in such a situation."

Yu Jingting widened his eyes. His wife was quite sharp-tongued today. She needed a kiss!

"Anyway, I defended the honest man, and played a heroic role. In return, Yang, the honest man, especially cut me a piece of mutton. Good deeds will be rewarded."

"By playing a heroic role... You mean, maintaining justice?"

"That’s essentially it."

Appreciating such a lovely thing, in which he gets some meat as a reward for beating Li Youcai, Yu Tiegen indicated that he was willing to continue this, carrying on the family trait.

After boasting about his exploits, Yu Jingting had his ears glued to the radio while listening to storytelling. He learned his vocabulary from the radio.

Now that it’s the slack season on the farm, all the households are free.

Of course, for idlers like Yu Tiegen, even in the busy farming season, he wouldn’t do any of the work.

Suizi saw him idling around all day, causing trouble and picking fights. No wonder he was always thinking about teasing her.

"Jingting, I see that you’re pretty smart. Would you like to continue your education?" Suizi asked.

Yu Jingting froze, and so did Wang Cuihua, who was shelling melon seeds.

"Although you didn’t finish junior high school, you can take night classes. You only need to attend on weekends, so it won’t interfere with your other activities."

Ten seconds later, Yu Jingting walked over, put his hand on her forehead, and asked,

"Are you running a fever?"

"Suizi, listen to my advice. You can raise Jiaojiao, educate the baby in your belly, or even send a placenta to school, which would be better than him. If all else fails, teach our husky to shake hands or something. Don’t waste your time or make yourself angry."

Wang Cuihua gave her sincere advice.

Seeing their strong reaction, Suizi didn’t continue to persuade, but she made up her mind.

Even if he is a mad dog from the north, she’ll make him as elegant as a Husky.

In her memory, even though Yu Jingting became a businessman in his previous life, he remained a gangster in his bones.

She had to accompany him to overcome his weaknesses and bring him to a position he couldn’t reach in his previous life. She couldn’t let his lack of education hold him back.

Suizi’s determined eyes appealed to Yu Jingting as a flat-out flirtation.

He took advantage of Wang Cuihua being taken by surprise and made a thrusting gesture to Suizi, mouthing silently,

"You... need... tree."

Suizi turned her body around, not wanting to look at his smug face.

Yu Jingting knew he messed up.

He’d teased his wife too far and upset her.

Whenever he saw her round, tender face, he just wanted to tease her. He enjoyed seeing her look at him with teary eyes and a pout.

She had been bold these past few days and he was starting to lose control. He had been too cocky!

Wang Cuihua went out to cook, leaving the two of them alone in the room.

Yu Jingting pretended to listen to the storytelling on the radio, but he couldn’t resist getting closer to Suizi, who had been ignoring him and giving him the cold shoulder. He nudged her with his arm.

"Are you really mad?"

Suizi turned around abruptly, pointed at Yu Jingting’s nose, and said something he would never forget.
