I am chasing a rough man in the 80s -
Chapter 329: Who Enters Whose Game
Chapter 329: Chapter 329: Who Enters Whose Game
"Suizi, shall we get him drunk so he will spill the truth?"
Wang Cuihua suggested.
Suizi was silent.
Wang Cuihua’s heart ached suddenly.
Only then did she remember Tiegen, who used to drink at home, was no longer with them.
The overwhelming sorrow was fleeting, but the dull pain caused by the loss of a loved one could prick your nerves unexpectedly and remind you that the person you loved most was no longer there.
"When Jingting comes back, he will have plenty of opportunities to drink with mother. We shouldn’t focus on that now." Suizi interrupted Wang Cuihua’s sorrow.
Wang Cuihua didn’t know whether to mourn her son or her daughter-in-law. She always felt that Suizi was somewhat delusional, refusing to accept the fact of Tiegen’s death.
Could this be the onset of hysteria, as the elderly used to say?
Suizi always spoke with certainty, her attitude unswervingly resolute.
This strange behavior worried Wang Cuihua. Was Suizi going mad with grief? Was she becoming hysterical?
"Mother, I am fine. I am not mad, I am fully aware."
Wang Cuihua:...
A mad person never admits their madness, right?
"Let’s put my mental state aside, and get through the current situation. Mother, you should do this tomorrow..."
Suizi revealed the plot of the drama she had devised for Wang Cuihua.
She would invite Fan Gao to their home for dinner tomorrow, a clear set-up.
Suizi asked Wang Cuihua to play the role of an evil mother-in-law and a shrewish daughter-in-law.
Wang Cuihua was torn.
"Think about how Jingting’s grandmother treated you," Suizi said earnestly, walking her through the script.
Remembering how her mother-in-law had treated her back then, Wang Cuihua couldn’t help but gasp.
"You are pregnant now. If you get angry, the child might bear a birthmark. I have always suspected that the blue birthmark on JiaoJiao’s buttocks is due to her grandmother’s upsetting remarks."
There are plenty of beliefs about pregnant women. It is commonly believed that getting angry during pregnancy can affect the baby.
Wang Cuihua still gets upset when she recalls the hard times her mother-in-law put her through. She treats Suizi well mainly because she doesn’t want Suizi to go through what she herself had faced.
"Don’t worry, we are just playing roles, I won’t get truly upset. Mother, let’s do this, for our family’s future. Try to adopt the demeanor of an evil mother-in-law."
Wang Cuihua took this matter seriously, nodding her head gravely.
"As long as our family is united, no matter how difficult the immediate situation is, we can get through it as long as we grit our teeth."
Suizi caressed her belly. She felt that her belly had gone down a little in the past two days.
There were fewer fetal movements, indicating that the twins might be born early.
These tiny beings inside her had already undergone a huge test. But she believed that she was capable of protecting them.
No matter when the twins choose to come into the world, she would shelter them with her own body and provide them a peaceful sky.
She hadn’t been able to protect her children in her previous life. In this life, no matter what she suffered, she had to correct her past mistakes.
She had to put everything back to where it belonged.
The next day, the dining table of the old Yu family was laden with red-hot dishes.
"JiaoJiao, do you remember what your sister-in-law taught you?" Suizi asked.
While nodding, JiaoJiao sneezed.
"Sister-in-law, this food is too spicy, can anyone really eat it?"
Suizi had borrowed some extremely spicy dried chillies from a neighbor. She had thrown a handful of them into every dish, resulting in heartburn-inducing and tear-jerking aromas.
Jiaojiao and Wang Cuihua had already eaten, this spread was prepared specially by Suizi for Fan Gao.
"Whether he wants to eat or not, he has to eat. This is the price of playing father casually." Suizi plopped a bottle of wine on the table.
The wine was specially bought high-proof liquor from the winery.
Paired with spicy food, there was just one objective.
Even if it didn’t burn his mouth, it would still burn his stomach. Even if the other party had a steel stomach and avoided gastritis, he could still be plagued with hemorrhoids.
Suizi had a hard time believing the guy’s organs were that robust, there must be something that could take him down.
"He’s here!" Wang Cuihua, looking through the window, saw a car pulling up outside.
Fan Gao, dressed in a formal suit, got out of the car, holding a gift in his hand.
"Let me see what he brought — oh look, pastries, how stingy."
Wang Cuihua curled her lip, it was just the ordinary pastry you brought when visiting relatives, people in the north called this thing pastries.
"Looks like he doesn’t have much money either." Suizi sneered.
These past few days she had asked for several big-ticket items, which had nearly impoverished him.
A miser who grits his teeth even when buying a piano could never casually dole out three big yellow croakers... It seemed that her freeloading father was much more capable than this pretender.
Fan Gao, unaware that he had been seen through by the mother and daughter, walked in full of calculations.
Just as he stepped in the door, he heard the sound of a bowl being smashed from inside.
"You damn star of calamity!" Wang Cuihua cursed as she picked up a bowl and hurled it at the door with all her might.
Fan Gao didn’t even see what was happening when a bowl hit him squarely in the face, causing a dull thud to echo.
"Ouch!"
"Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t see you were here." Wang Cuihua smirked from the corner of her mouth, silently praising herself in her heart.
What a perfect aim.
"Are you okay? What are you guys quarreling about?" Fan Gao, clutching his head, asked.
"Nothing much, a slip of my hand. Are you really the star of calamity’s father?"
"In-laws, you shouldn’t talk to Suizi like this. What does your son’s death have to do with Suizi?" Despite the conciliatory words from Fan Gao’s mouth, his eyes were filled with smug delight.
Clearly, discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was a sight he relished, because only then would it be easier for him to convince Suizi.
"Yes, mom..." Suizi lowered her head and fiddled with the corner of her clothes, looking like a mistreated young bride.
"Don’t call her ’mom’! She’s my mom! If my brother hadn’t married you, how would he have died? Pah! You’re the star of calamity!" Jiaojiao, following Suizi’s guide, said this with a trembling voice and red rims around her eyes.
The little girl didn’t really want to say this. These words were instructed by Suizi and Wang Cuihua. After saying these words, Jiaojiao felt choked and kicked the door before rushing out.
She stopped in front of Fan Gao and kicked him hard in the shin, that kick undoubtedly came from the heart.
Before Fan Gao even had time to react, Jiaojiao disappeared like smoke.
She ran to her homeroom teacher’s house in tears.
"Jiaojiao, how can you be so rude?" Suizi added silently in her heart that once the annoying man left, she would have to give Jiaojiao some extra money for her performance. The little darling performed really well.
"What do you mean ’rude’? Your little sister-in-law is upset, and I’m upset too. My dear son was taken away just like that. My life —"
With a slap on her own thigh, Wang Cuihua flawlessly recited the lines her mother-in-law had once used.
Although from Suizi’s perspective, the acting was a bit overdone, it was essential to bluff Fan Gao.
"Elder Sister, with you treating my daughter like this, how can I leave her here with a good conscience?" Fan Gao was overjoyed, thinking that he was about to achieve his goal.
"She was married into our home at a great expense, and you say you’ll take her away just like that?" Wang Cuihua stretched out her hand and made a five, "She’s supposed to mourn for my son in my house. If she wants to leave, she has to pay this amount!"
