Chapter 346: Chapter 346: Indifferent to Life and Death, Fight If You Don’t Agree (500+ more with monthly ticket)
"Go back to the countryside? The fools are them, not us. If anyone has to leave, it’s them."
Yu Jingting shut Wang Cuihua up with just one sentence.
"Mom, since we’ve moved to the city, there’s no reason for us to go back. The education here is better than back home."
Suizi was adamant. Their family had got to the city step by step, and now they were facing some difficulties.
But if the adults show weakness and back down from challenges, the children will mimic them.
Suizi’s words calmed Wang Cuihua down.
Even though Jiaojiao had only been in the city for half a year, the change was clear.
After buying the piano, she practiced every day. Watching her daughter play made Wang Cuihua feel a certain pride.
Their family had been farmers for generations, and now they were raising a child who could handle ’Western’ things.
Giving up now was unthinkable.
"Jingting is right. As long as we’re honest, we have nothing to fear, even if they take our jobs away, we won’t starve."
Wang Cuihua’s face was full of worry.
"But all these problems are distressing."
Her daughter-in-law needs work, and the twins need mother’s milk. It’s truly inconvenient to be running back and forth.
Jingting’s career was put on hold, and his superiors were making things difficult for him.
What’s more worrisome are the relatives of those killed in the accident, clearly being instigated against Jingting.
If they start causing trouble regularly, it is going to be a problem."
"I’m not worried about anything else, but if any of those people get overly emotional and blame Tiegen for their loss, and come to cause trouble every now and then, I can handle it, but we have children at home."
Wang Cuihua, who had been a seasoned fortune teller for many years, knew well the darkness of human nature, especially after tragic accidents, people tend to become extreme.
What if they were to drag Jiaojiao out and beat her up?
Or what if they took advantage of a distracted Wang Cuihua to harm the young twins...?
The thought alone gave Wang Cuihua a headache.
"Those old women broke into the zoo at midnight and ate the leopard’s gall? Dare they touch my family?"
When Yu Jingting opened his mouth, he was full of gusto.
He picked up his daughter from the stroller. They looked at each other.
"My dear daughter, it’s time for daddy’s daily lecture. Today, let me teach you: I am your father, respected all over the city. If anyone disagrees, fight. Don’t fear death!"
Suizi sighed and took her daughter back. He seemed to enjoy filling her daughter’s head with strange ideas.
Fortunately, their daughter was still too small to understand what he was saying.
If this carried on, Suizi worried he’d raise the girl into a tough character.
Why didn’t he pester his son? Because Bobo was asleep most of the time, and Yu Jingting never had a chance to ’handle’ him.
"Stop talking nonsense to our daughter, she’ll remember it subconsciously!"
"That’s exactly what I want, otherwise why would I bother talking?" Yu Jingting moved in closer to his daughter and kept on speaking.
"Don’t be like your grandma and back down in the face of trouble. Beat the instigators until they acknowledge me as their father — that’s right, I declare, this is the new rule of our family."
"I veto your twisted ’family rule’." Suizi pushed him away.
She looked at her daughter, her big eyes witnessing the commotion. She couldn’t help thinking about the horoscope that teacher Wang from next door calculated for her.
"Teacher Wang said our daughter has the Fortune Star. According to his calculations, our current troubles are nothing and we should be able to turn our misfortune into a blessing."
Yu Jingting originally thought to forget about the old man’s words, but considering that all he said were good things, he thought it might be possible.
"Let the children create their own destiny. As their parents, we will find a solution. In fact, I was just thinking ..."
Suizi listened attentively, curious to see what solution he had.
"Grab a slingshot now and break the Factory Director’s windows."
"..." You can’t expect too much from this guy!
Yu Jingting stroked his chin, and started to act all cultured in front of his two kids.
"Each generation is stronger than the last — down with the Factory Director by generations of slingshots!"
Suizi was fuming; ever since he used a limerick to make fun of Mr. Hu at the gemstone betting stall on the border, it’s as if he’s awakened a gene for writing limericks.
"If you want to smash windows, you go do it; don’t teach the kids such things!"
"Hmm, by the time our two kids grow up, there might be more advanced equipment than slingshots. They could drive over in an excavator and directly topple someone’s house."
"..." Suizi silently covered her daughter’s ears.
An excavator to demolish someone else’s house? What nonsense!
The baby whose ears were covered by Suizi pouted discontentedly and let out a cry.
Although Yu Jingting felt that Suizi was the one who made their daughter cry, he still picked up his daughter, coddling her under Suizi’s glare.
"Xiaoyu, are you home?"
Someone from the Tobacco Factory came by.
The man who came was the Factory Director’s secretary, a man in his thirties.
Suizi had a deep impression of him because he had been here before looking for Yu Jingting.
Back then, he addressed Yu Jingting as the respectful "Department Head Yu".
Whenever Yu Jingting lit up a cigarette, he would dutifully light it with both hands, the epitome of obsequiousness.
Today, he referred to him as "Xiao Yu" right away. The change from "Department Head Yu" to "Xiao Yu" made Suizi smell something unusual.
"Old Zhang, what’s blown you over to this part of town?"
It seemed that Yu Jingting didn’t notice the change in the way he was addressed, but the corner of his mouth on his left side rose imperceptibly.
"I came to congratulate you, little brother, you’re going to ’get rich’." Old Zhang emphasized the words ’get rich" heavily.
"Spit it out."
Old Zhang’s fake smile stiffened.
Don’t think he didn’t catch on, Yu Jingting was swearing at him!
Wasn’t this just a compound sentence of ’spit it out’ and ’fart’?
Old Zhang took a piece of paper out of his pocket, so crumpled and dirty that one might mistake it for a used tissue.
"Your transfer order came down, look how great."
While he claimed to be offering congratulations, his words were laced with schadenfreude.
"Where’d you get this toilet paper, it’s dirtier than my daughter’s shit papers."
Yu Jingting cast a glance at the paper, and the corner of his mouth rose a bit higher.
These little men already knew about his impending transfer, and they couldn’t even bother to save face.
The change in address, the crumpled transfer order, all intended to annoy him.
"Xiaoyu, look at the mess this has become. My hand slipped just now and I accidentally crumpled it. You won’t be so petty as to hold a grudge against me, will you?"
"Oh wow, your hand slipped and crumpled the paper like this -– you’ve had cerebral thrombosis for many years, haven’t you?"
Wang Cuihua leaned over, assessed the situation, and shook her head.
"I see your face is dark, you’re in for some misfortune."
Old Zhang came to mock the Yu family, but he didn’t expect their combat power to be so strong — even Wang Cuihua could destroy him.
"I came to tell Xiaoyu that you’ve been promoted. You’re being transferred to a new factory as the Deputy Factory Director!"
He claims it’s a promotion, but the smug expression on his face is enough to make the Yu family believe there’s more to this "promotion".
