I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 32: Blinding the Dragon’s Eye

Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Blinding the Dragon’s Eye

"Your mouth, it must be smeared with Castor oil to be so sarcastic!"

Suizi pointed at his nose, looking serene and refreshed.

"This is what you spent ages thinking? Didn’t get angry, just huddled in the dark away from me, trying to come up with words?"

"I’m pretty awesome." To emphasize her awesomeness, Suizi even nodded.

She was only slow-tongued during an argument, given some time, she too could think of insults to retort. She was particularly satisfied with her performance this time.

She thought herself fierce, but to him, she was just an adorable girl that had voluntarily come his way.

Yu Jingting looked at her proud little face, his adam’s apple bobbed — how he wanted to nibble at her...

Compared to a vagrant, she still had a bit of shame left in her.

"Silly lass, Castor oil smeared on the mouth is sweet, come, let me taste if it’s sweet ~"

Suizi could only hold her triumph for three seconds before she was drawn into a nearly suffocating kiss, and her little lip was cruelly bitten again.

"Dare to tease me aimlessly again, don’t blame me for not being polite!"

"???" She argued seriously, which eye saw her teasing him?

Glancing at her clueless, adorable expression, Yu Jingting’s heart surged into a wave of emotion. Who could resist being addicted to such a wife?

"Wait, how do you know Castor oil is sweet?" Suizi, with her slower than average reaction time, had just thought of this.

"Have you drank it before?"

"You kissed me with a mouth that had tasted Castor oil?!" Suddenly, Suizi wanted to brush her teeth.

"It was something from my childhood——Damn!"

Yu Jingting fled in the face of her obvious revulsion.

No man is willing to share their childhood secret of drinking castor oil with their wife, especially a macho man.

Wang Cuihua’s business had been booming these past few days.

Li Youcai damaged the Zhang Family’s wall and was judged by the village chief to compensate them with money.

Once the Zhang Family vented their anger, they regarded Wang Cuihua, their "benefactor," with even more respect.

They extolled her as the Fortune-telling Auntie who was never wrong with her predictions.

As her predictions gained a growing following, Wang Cuihua didn’t raise her price but adhered to the spirit of serving the villagers wholeheartedly — thin profit but high turnover.

Wang Cuihua had long confirmed that Suizi was a family’s lucky charm. Suizi married into the family one month ago, and not only brought new life into the family, but also wealth, which was great.

After Suizi had rested at home for several days and her Fetal Qi stabilized, she went to substitute at the primary school again.

Watching Li Youcai get his daily beatings improved her mood significantly, which is why her Fetal Qi stabilized so quickly.

Since her reincarnation, Li Youcai had been beaten twice daily at a steady rate, providing Suizi with a constant source of good mood.

When one is out of luck, even drinking water can lead to choking — this saying is precisely about Li Youcai.

After being roundly beaten by Yu Jingting and his wife, he was then caught red-handed by the old Zhang Family. The villagers discussed him behind his back, and received strange looks wherever he went.

For a time, Li Youcai suspected that his insincerity while burning paper money failed to send Suizi’s soul in her previous life away. He ran to another village to find another fortune teller, but was swindled out of his last penny without finding out why he was so unlucky.

Of course, Yu Jingting knew about this and told Suizi as a joke when he came back.

Suizi sighed yet again.

Li Youcai was living his life again but hadn’t learned his lesson. He didn’t reflect on his misdeeds at all and continued to seek balance through crooked ways, reflecting his narrow state of mind.

After blowing through his savings, Li Youcai desperately needed money for the upcoming lunar new year celebrations in a few months. He had no other option but to retrace his old steps, working as an accountant for the Production team to scrape together some wages.

The team’s office wasn’t far from the primary school where Suizi would substitute teach. Every day, she had to bear the sight of Li Youcai staring at her dreamily from behind a large teapot as she walked to and from work.

Suizi felt uncomfortable knowing that watchful eyes were observing her from the shadows. However, to put Li Youcai behind bars as soon as possible, she had to endure.

Whether it was due to Li Youcai’s creepy demeanor or her pregnancy, Suizi began to vomit whatever she ate, causing her small face to visibly lose weight.

But in Li Youcai’s eyes, this became a symbol of her suffering in the Yu Family.

Brought down the Yu Family, freed and made money from Suizi — this idea took root deeply in Li Youcai’s mind.

He frequented Suizi’s sight, fluttering around her at every chance he had. The more often he did so, the worse Suizi’s morning sickness got.

Yu Jingting saw that Suizi had lost weight, and he became extremely worried.

At the same time, the family’s pig seemed to be unwell, causing Wang Cuihua to sigh repeatedly. These two instances led to a sigh-filled household.

One was worried about her daughter-in-law’s declining weight, and the other was upset that the pig wasn’t putting on weight.

"It’s still three months until the Chinese New Year — it’s too early to slaughter the pig. We can’t let it lose weight like this. We should feed the pig more beans to see if it fattens up," Cuihua suggested.

She unintentionally gave Yu Jingting an idea. He snapped his fingers, realizing that he needed to find some nourishing food for Suizi.

Suizi’s morning sickness was severe — she would throw up at the smell of lamb meat or milk. She also refused to eat eggs. She couldn’t stomach any nutritious food and was losing lots of weight. So, Yu Jingting decided to take an unconventional approach.

As Suizi returned home from work, she was immediately blindfolded.

"Wife, try this," Yu Jingting offered, pushing the mystery food to her lips.

Suizi sniffed. It smelled burnt, but also pleasantly fragrant.

"What is it?" she asked.

"Something delicious," he replied.

Suizi cautiously took a bite. It was the size of a peanut and had a unique, enticing taste.

"Is it delicious?" he asked.

"Yes, it’s delicious — but what exactly is it?" Suizi asked as she opened her eyes. On their home stove, she spotted a row of grayish beans, something that looked vaguely familiar but she couldn’t recall what exactly they were.

"They’re Yang Laguan. It took me a lot of effort to find them in the mountains," Yu Jingting replied.

It had taken him half a day to gather them. Indeed, it hadn’t been an easy task.

Yang Laguan....

Wait, weren’t they silkworm cocoons?

Suizi’s face paled.

Silkworms were similar to caterpillars — they stung, causing both pain and itchiness.

During winter, they formed cocoons hanging on trees, known as Yang Laguan.

Despite their rich nutritional value, delicious taste, and medicinal properties, even the most appetizing cocoon couldn’t fight Suizi’s vivid mental image of squirming caterpillars. And with that, her stomach churned and she ran outside, hand over her mouth.

"Get rid of it! I don’t want to see it!" she yelled from the courtyard.

Yu Jingting originally intended on surprising Suizi with his unconventional idea.

Instead, he had inadvertently ruined everything.

Suizi could barely eat her dinner due to nausea. That night, she dreamt of being chased by a bunch of silkworms, the lead worm bearing the face of Tiegen.

The next day, she went to work with dark circles under her eyes.

Yu Jingting’s good intentions led to chaos. He was beaten by Wang Cuihua and given the cold shoulder by Suizi.

This situation couldn’t continue; he had to restore his dwindling image in his wife’s eyes. His plan of gifting game had failed, but he had another plan up his sleeve.

He stood on the street, stroking his chin. He remembered that every time he had a conflict with Li Youcai, Suizi seemed to be pleasured. He thought if she was happy, she would surely eat more, right?

But he couldn’t just straight up confront Li Youcai. He needed a suitable excuse — like an imperial edict declaring war in historical novels, right?

What excuse could he use? Yu Jingting sunk in deep thought.

Meanwhile, Li Youcai couldn’t contain himself anymore.

Since his rebirth, his family had been so poor that they couldn’t afford to eat ribs. Was this a life worth living?

He had to come up with a plan to get Yu Jingting and Suizi to separate, then he could rescue the money-savvy Suizi from her miserable life. He wouldn’t worry about not having ribs to eat if Suizi was on his side.

A cunning plan began to form in Li Youcai’s mind.
