Chapter 333: Chapter 333: Slap Your Face Hetui

Fan Gao left the old Yu Family’s home with a belly full of anger.

Wang Cuihua demanded that he must square the bookstore’s accounts and she needed to see the receipts for it to take effect.

This hullabaloo took up half the day.

By the time Fan Gao came with the cash and receipts, it was already dark.

Using an excuse that she needed to avoid suspicion as a single woman, Wang Cuihua flatly refused to open the door, leaving Fan Gao with no choice but to wait until dawn to return.

With this delay, it left only three days for the carefully calculated suitable day for Suizi’s cesarean section.

Anxious and in a hurry, Fan Gao rushed over early in the morning to wait at the door.

Wang Cuihua came out to open the door with a toothpick in her mouth, extending her hand through the gap of the iron gate with her palm facing upwards.

Fan Gao, having experienced Wang Cuihua’s greed, could only reluctantly place the money on her hand with a stern face.

Wang Cuihua, in front of him, counted the money over and over again.

"Where is the person? If you dare play tricks on me, you’re dead!" Fan Gao ran out of patience.

Wang Cuihua pocketed the money, giving it a pat. It was really bulging.

"She’s at the Wang Family Compound in Yang Village, I sent her back home. You can go find her."

"Damn woman! Are you messing with me?!" Fan Gao kicked the door.

Being toyed with by a rural woman was simply a great disgrace.

Wang Cuihua, unwilling to be outdone, also forcefully kicked the iron gate in retaliation. The two kicked at each other, causing the gate to emit a creaking noise.

"Foul woman! Wait and see, if I can’t find her, you will——"

"Get lost!" Wang Cuihua spat out a glob of phlegm that shot out from the gap of the iron gate and landed right on Fan Gao’s face.

"Ah!!!!!!!!"

Fan Gao felt extremely disgusted and attempted to climb over the iron gate to kill this detestable woman right now!

Wang Cuihua bent down to pick up Tieqiu, the stout-beaked goose took a peck at Fan Gao’s hand that was gripping the iron gate.

Hurt, Fan Gao let go and fell to the ground. Wang Cuihua put down Tieqiu, the goose squeezed out from the gap at the bottom of the gate and started pecking at Fan Gao.

Fan Gao, wailing from the pain, sprang up and ran towards the car, shouting as he ran.

"Foul woman! Wait and see! I’m going to kill you when I return!"

"I’m not afraid of you!" Wang Cuihua shouted, displaying the posture of women holding up half the sky.

Fan Gao’s car drove off, and only then did Wang Cuihua quickly step inside the house.

Suizi came out of the small house. She had witnessed the whole episode through a crack in the curtain.

The old woman really had a good fight, a pleasure to watch!

"Have you packed everything?" Wang Cuihua asked.

Suizi pointed to the bundle on the bed. It was all set.

Suizi’s stratagem of making a feint to the east but attacking to the west was beautifully executed.

"Just what is his story? He doesn’t seem very clever, letting himself get pecked into a wretched state by Tieqiu."

"He’s the youngest of the fourth family of the Fan clan. The troublesome Fan Hua who bothered us before is from the third family."

If Fan Hua, the terminal cancer patient who Suizi and her husband had sent off, could be referred to as the family’s primary wastrel, then this Fan Gao was undoubtedly the second.

The two most good-for-nothing members of the entire clan had inexplicably crossed paths with Suizi.

"None of those damn Fan’s are any good, spit!" Wang Cuihua hadn’t spat enough, and wanted to spit a few more times.

"Let’s hasten our retreat, this place isn’t very safe anymore."

Suizi was afraid that Fan Gao might figure it out halfway and come back again; by then, it could put her in danger.

Although she had made contact with the head family of the Fan clan, who had promised to send someone to take Fan Gao away, Suizi was still worried that Fan Gao could become desperate and dangerous.

If the alliance with the main family, which was hastily assembled, cannot be relied upon, her family will be in danger.

She quickly packed up valuable belongings with Wang Cuihua and Jiaojiao, and taking a detour, rushed to the hiding place that Suizi had thought of.

This hiding place is somewhere that, regardless of the extent of the Fan family’s influence, dares not to intrude forcefully.

Never did Wang Cuihua imagine that Suizi would dare to lead her to the Police Station’s common dormitory seeking shelter.

Suizi asked Liao Yong for help. She didn’t mention the trouble in her own family, only asking an old classmate if she could stay in his dorm for three days.

"This dorm room is unoccupied, and I’ve spoken with my superiors, they know that you are relatives who came to visit me and won’t mind you staying for a couple of days. But, Suizi, are you sure you don’t need to be hospitalized for childbirth?"

Liao Yong, looking at Suizi’s abdomen, made the kind suggestion.

"Not at the moment." Suizi knew the hospital was the most dangerous place right now.

Not only Fan Gao, but who knows how many in the superstitious Fan Family might be secretly calculating the days, staring at her belly.

It was only three days before the extraordinarily good day for newborns arrived, as calculated by Teacher Wang. At any moment someone from the Fan family might appear to take advantage of Suizi’s baby.

What Suizi could do now was to hide in the safest place and survive these few days.

As long as the members of the Fan Family couldn’t find her in these few days, they wouldn’t be able to forcibly perform a cesarean section. Once these few days were over, and the so-called good day had passed, her baby would be safe.

"Even though you didn’t tell me what happened, I’m guessing you must have run into some trouble— I’ve heard about Jingting’s affairs from a friend at the Tobacco Factory. If there’s anything you need help with, don’t hesitate to tell me."

What Liao Yong said was quite subtle. Wang Cuihua understood he was tactfully asking about the funeral arrangements for Yu Jingting.

The whole world believed that Yu Jingting was dead, except Suizi.

"After Suizi gives birth, we’ll arrange—"

"At the hundred days celebration for the baby, let Jingting have a good drink with you." Suizi interrupted her mother-in-law’s words.

Liao Yong looked at Suizi, feeling a bit saddened. Was she so grief-stricken that she refused to accept reality?

"Old classmate, you need to move forward. I’ve met many victims’ family members who react just as you are, but...."

Those words - that the dead cannot be resurrected - are something Liao Yong just couldn’t utter.

Suizi’s gaze drifted to the clouds. She’s done everything she can.

What happens next is left to fate’s arrangement.

"Jiaojiao, come, let’s go look at our new room with your sister-in-law." Suizi led Jiaojiao into the dormitory.

Taking the opportunity, Liao Yong asked Wang Cuihua:

"Aunt, what’s wrong with Suizi?"

"She’s gone mad, insisting that Tiegen is not dead. If anyone tries to tell her that Yu Jingting is dead, she’ll fly into a rage. I’m at my wit’s end."

Wang Cuihua sighed in frustration.

Perhaps, amid this autumn of momentous events, Suizi’s state of self-deception is for the best.

It’s certainly better than having her remain heartbroken and risk harming her body.

Current troubles keep coming, with major issues linked to minor ones, one after another, each looking like an unsolvable deadlock.

Because there are just too many difficult issues, Wang Cuihua and Jiaojiao are always on edge, pushed forward by Suizi. They spend every day planning their escape, and there’s simply no time to wallow in grief.

Sometimes Wang Cuihua, influenced by Suizi’s certainty, also gets the illusion that perhaps Tiegen really isn’t dead?

At night, the three of them huddled together in the dormitory.

Wang Cuihua cuddled with Jiaojiao on a single bed, while Suizi occupied the other one.

These beds creaked with every turn, and the hard planks were nowhere near as comfortable as at home. But nevertheless, Suizi managed to go to bed early and didn’t skimp on dinner.

If she didn’t let it known, no one would realize that she was a woman undergoing a tremendous change.

Hearing Suizi’s steady breathing, Wang Cuihua knew she was asleep. Cuihua sighed and got up to cover Suizi with a quilt.

Suddenly, Suizi turned over, startling Wang Cuihua, and then, she sleep-talked a sentence that made Wang Cuihua tear up.
