I am chasing a rough man in the 80s -
Chapter 342: I’m Your Father
Chapter 342: Chapter 342: I’m Your Father
"Why so careless, I’ll go get the mop." Chen Lijun quickly stood up.
Suizi watched her retreating figure and said to Yu Jingting:
"Look at her, don’t you think she’s very uneasy?"
Yu Jingting laughed cheerfully.
"Just finish your soup quickly, otherwise our mom will nag at you again."
Suizi made a face, taking small sips of her soup.
When Suizi wasn’t looking, Yu Jingting rubbed his chin.
The mother-in-law’s reaction seemed suspicious indeed.
But a smart man would never discuss the historical emotional affairs of his mother-in-law with his wife.
When the mother and daughter quarrel, they quickly reconcile and then gang up to scratch him. Who could he turn to for justice then?
It took Suizi almost ten minutes to finish a bowl of soup. Chen Lijun returned when it was almost finished.
"Mom, you were so slow. Jingting has already cleaned up- Oh, what were we talking about?"
Suizi still wanted to ask about Fan Huang.
"Why do you have so many rocks under your bed?" Chen Lijun tactically switched the topic.
She bent down and held up a raw jadeite.
"Mom, do you know how to evaluate these? I won them from betting at the border."
Yu Jingting cooperated with his mother-in-law to change the topic.
These two women always squabble when they meet, and he, caught in the middle, ready to mediate at any moment.
"I don’t know much about raw stones, but I can evaluate the finished product." Chen Lijun glanced at her son-in-law approvingly. What a sensible lad.
"We only have one finished product."
Yu Jingting took out a small box and retrieved a jadeite ring from it.
Since Suizi’s return, this matter had been forgotten. Watching Yu Jingting take out the ring, she became curious.
After examining the jadeite ring, Chen Lijun said:
"Do you know how rare it is to find a black jadeite of such quality and brilliance? Its price is pretty steep."
Under the intense gaze of Suizi and Yu Jingting, Chen Lijun revealed the odds.
"One in a million."
This was the probability of a raw stone producing an excellent jadeite of this size.
"Where did you get it from? You two can’t even afford this, even if you sold your chubby daughter by the kilo."
Chen Lijun pointed at Suizi.
The aforementioned chubby girl widened her eyes: "Stop feeding me pig’s trotter soup if you think I’m fat! How can I not get fat drinking that stuff?"
Just when it was starting to get heated again, Yu Jingting quickly moved to mediate and split the quarrelsome women apart.
"I didn’t buy this, I got it from that old geezer."
He had a run-in with the local underground boss, Husi, while betting jades at the border.
At first, he defeated a scornful seller. Then, the seller sought revenge with Husi, who sent a group of men to ambush Yu Jingting, end up being counter-ambushed and tied to a tree by him.
Yu Jingting decided to change his betting place because Suizi’s money hadn’t run out yet, she said he couldn’t come home until it was all spent.
While buying jadeites again, he overheard a stonecutter talking about Husi’s jade ring. On hearing this, he asked who this Husi was.
Yu Jingting was looking everywhere for this old geezer. Wasn’t this a golden opportunity?
"I just tossed the leftover bits of our jade stone into his ring box, and picked up this one."
"Mom, can Jingting be sentenced for stealing a jadeite ring worth so much?" Suizi asked Chen Lijun.
Chen Lijun shook her head.
"How can it be stealing? Two boxes were placed together and Jingting picked the wrong one by mistake. His intentions weren’t criminal, understand?"
Suizi made a face.
"A thug is scary enough, but a cultured thug is more terrifying."
Her mother is just that: a cultured female thug.
"I also left a note inside the box."
"???" Suizi suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Summoning wind and rain is too commonplace, Mortal’s fool: Hu Silang. If you want to know who I am, I am your father, the lad of the Yu Family. Im your father."
Yu Family lad = Yu Family’s fine lad.
Yu Jingting recited his self-created poem with a triumphant smile.
"..." Suizi was silent for a while, then suddenly she put her palms together and muttered a few words.
"Thank heavens, it’s a miracle that this fellow managed to return safely."
Chen Lijun thought about the poem and found it quite catchy. She nodded in satisfaction.
"Jingting’s progress in the past half year is truly remarkable; he can even curse in English now. Excellent."
"Mom! You’re praising him?! Look at the state of him right now. He’s actually risking his life on someone else’s turf, challenging their gang leader! The fact that he came back alive, without having his legs broken, is a miracle!"
Suizi was furious. She reached out to pinch Yu Jingting’s ear.
Yu Jingting cleverly hid behind his mother-in-law, and Chen Lijun swatted away Suizi’s hand.
"A new mother should be resting quietly. It seems you don’t want to take good care of yourself. Go lie down, close your eyes, and try not to think too much."
Suizi took a deep breath, Great, are they in cahoots now?
"Mom! Jingting is bullying me!" Suizi shouted, using her lower abdomen to muster up strength.
The Invocation: The Power of a True Mother-in-Law’s Love!
Wang Cuihua, holding her granddaughter, came rushing over.
She had just given the little girl a bath. Placing the sweet-smelling baby next to Suizi, she gave Yu Jingting a slap without hesitation.
"Why are you bothering Suizi?! If you make her angry and her milk dries up, I’ll chop you up and feed you to the baby!"
"Oh, we can’t have that. My grandchild will get a stomach ache from eating such unclean things." Chen Lijun added.
Yu Jingting looked helplessly at his mother-in-law — Whose side are you actually on?
This time Suizi was the one grinning triumphantly, hehehe, let him wallow in it. Deservedly condemned by all!
Yu Jingting glared at Suizi, who stuck her tongue out at him.
Chen Lijun couldn’t be bothered with this childishly juvenile couple, and she left with Wang Cuihua.
"Let’s ignore these two nitwits, Cuihua. I’ll help you bathe Bobo— and by the way, Chen Hansui, you ignorant lass, why did you come up with these bizarre names for the kids?"
Bobo is the baby boy’s nickname in Suizi’s family, and the girl is named Luoluo.
At first, it didn’t seem unusual.
It was only when Chen Lijun got used to calling them that she realized, when said together, it sounded like "Radish."
After so many years of studying poems and literature, she ended up with a child named "Radish."
"Nicknames aside, their father and their names share the same lineage." Suizi pointed at Yu Jingting.
Is there a more suitable name for the offspring of a big radish than Little Radish?
After a while, the clean and fresh Bobo was also brought back. The child had slept through the whole bath and was still sound asleep after it was done.
The energetic Luoluo was being dandled around the room by her father.
"Look how pretty my little daughter is. When she grows up, she is going to make a lot of boys swoon. Now, let’s practice some English, im your father~"
Yu Jingting babbled while holding his little daughter until she fell asleep.
He put his daughter next to his son. Looking at the sleeping children and mother, then back to his two kids, Yu Jingting crossed his arms triumphantly. He felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life.
While Suizi was asleep, Yu Jingting slipped out and found Chen Lijun studying a menu for the postpartum meals. He passed her a cigarette and lit it for her.
"Mom, what is your relationship with Fan Huang?"
"Isn’t that a bit too direct?" Chen Lijun raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, then let me put it more subtly — who is the biological father of my wife?"
