Chapter 351: Chapter 351: The Miraculous Appearance of Granny Pig
Under Suizi’s persistent questioning, Yu Jingting finally revealed his true intentions.
Simply deliver a proper beating to this scoundrel, and he’ll understand there is no such thing as the "Fairy".
If you don’t hit him, he’ll believe that he was bewitched by some fairy and passed out. To avoid bad luck, he’d certainly find ways to drink child’s urine as a ward against evil when he gets home.
The thought of that man having to continually drink for half a month gave Yu Jingting immense satisfaction.
"I suspect every cell of yours is etched with the word ’naughty’," Suizi evaluated without hesitation.
"Huh, as if you’re not naughty yourself—Miss Piggy?"
Suizi, her cheeks puffed up in anger, was gently tapped on the face by Yu Jingting’s finger.
"Don’t keep hitting on me, Little Pig Spirit, it’s not yet time. The doctor said you must hold it for two months. Even though you’re earnestly enticing me, I won’t fall for it."
"Do you have any shame? Are you human at all?"
Suizi was about to be outraged to death.
She was clearly extremely angry, so why did it seem like she was coming onto him when he said it?
Seeing her face full of life made Yu Jingting’s heart itch, he really couldn’t bear to keep watching, or he wouldn’t be able to hold back any longer.
"How much do you think we can trust that man’s words?" Yu Jingting changed the topic, and his hand changed direction.
Moved onto the children’s bottle, and instinctively gave it a squeeze.
Suizi swatted his hand away.
"I believe at least half of what he said, the other half I have doubts about."
The man claimed that it was his family heirloom, meaning that he was likely the descendant of the wealthy landlord who had gone mad.
This was believable.
The doubtful part was that his motive for crime doesn’t stand up.
According to the man himself, it was simply out of jealousy, there was absolutely no need for him to go to such great lengths to cause trouble.
Trashing up the house till it was filthy wouldn’t bring any benefits to him either.
The real estate now belongs to a beer factory, and the factory gave the property to Yu Jingting. No matter how you look at it, the man won’t be able to acquire the building.
Therefore, his mischief seems to have no purpose.
"I suspect that he made the place appear superstitious and disgusting, possibly to deter people from moving in," Suizi voiced her opinion.
The house has been vacant for a couple of years since the previous owner passed away.
If it weren’t for the higher-ups that Yu Jingting had offended, they wouldn’t have given him the property.
No one wanted to live in such an unlucky house.
Except for the fearless Yu family, who don’t believe in these things—Suizi thought the mother and son of the Yu Family were quite odd.
"Why wouldn’t he want people to move in?" Yu Jingting wondered, "Could it be that there’s a corpse hidden in this house?"
The night wind blew, giving Suizi a shiver. She darted into Yu Jingting’s arms, and Yu Jingting took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her, seizing the chance to flirt again.
Suizi was initially scared, but after his touch, her mind started turning.
"That’s not right, if there really were some unclean things hidden, it has been so many years. The man’s family has been dead for two generations, no one can trace it back to him."
Yu Jingting sighed in disappointment, hoping to invent more ghost stories to scare her so that he could hold her for a bit longer~
"Why is it so hard to fool a smart woman...," he muttered with his head buried in Suizi’s hair.
"If I wasn’t smart, you wouldn’t have fallen for me. Jingting, there must be something in this house, but it might not be bad—you remember what his ancestors did?"
Landlord.
A big landlord at that.
This means, he must have been very wealthy.
Yu Jingting’s ancestors were bandits, who were able to leave behind a jar of silver coins for their descendants during those special times.
The jar of silver coins was swallowed wholly by Suizi and her husband.
Suizi’s mysterious father also used a treasure map as a way to leave Suizi three large yellow croakers.
There’s no need to ask, the large yellow croakers were also left behind by Suizi’s real father.
Could it be possible, that the landlord of this house left some kind of wealth for his descendants in some corner of this house?
They enthusiastically entered the house, searching for treasure in the dark.
They hadn’t connected the electricity yet. Yu Jingting switched on a flashlight to help them search around the abandoned house.
The house hadn’t been cleaned out yet. According to Yu Jingting’s plan, they were going to clean up the house the next day. The original floor was made of cement, but he intended to tile it. The walls were also going to be re-wallpapered.
There wasn’t any furniture in the house; it was completely empty. Bright footprints could be seen on the thick layer of dust on the floor as the flashlight passed over them.
"It looks like this guy stops by here every other day to search for something, he’s even more eager than us." Yu Jingting said.
"If he hasn’t found it after so many visits, it’s gonna be tough for us as well. Perhaps the landlord didn’t leave anything behind, it could just be rumors made up by the people that came after."
Suizi’s enthusiasm dwindled by half.
"This story tells us that the greatest inheritance we can leave for our descendants isn’t wealth, but education."
Teacher Xiaochen never misses an opportunity to spread positivity.
No matter how much money is left behind, it can be squandered by prodigal children.
If good family traditions are left behind, being hardworking, and having the courage to struggle, even if their future generations were to turn out poorly, they still wouldn’t be so useless as to live off their parents.
The house was simply too bare—having searched through all three rooms, nothing was found.
"Could it be that something was bricked up in the walls?" Yu Jingting knocked on the walls, but nothing seemed unusual.
Suizi shook her head.
"Given the background of the time, if there really was something to hide, there would be no opportunity to brick it up in the walls. Do you think the people searching the house were vegetarians?"
During the period of defeating the local tyrants, so many eyes were watching. If you tried to stash something in the walls, anyone who entered the house could easily notice that the wall had been tampered with, and it would be easily discovered.
"So, it’s buried in the courtyard?"
Suizi shook her head again.
"Any hiding place we can think of, people in the past could think of too. Burying it in the courtyard is the easiest method to be discovered."
"You’re the best at hiding things, so if it was up to you, where would you hide it?"
Suizi swept her gaze around the room, her eyes finally landing on the roof.
"I might hide a little bit in the roof tiles, but I think there’s nothing in the roof tiles of this house."
She finally understood why the roof tiles were missing when she saw the house for the first time.
The man’s descendants came to search and have turned every place inside out, not even sparing the roof tiles.
"Forget it, if it’s meant to be, we’ll have it. It’s not ours anyway, so it doesn’t matter if we can’t find it. Let’s go home."
Suizi was concerned about the two children at home, and she also felt the milk rising.
"Indeed, let’s go—Watch out!"
Yu Jingting pulled Suizi away as a beam fell from the ceiling and landed right next to Suizi.
"My mom always says I’m a Lucky Star, but I think you’re my lucky star." Suizi patted her chest, still in shock.
If it weren’t for Yu Jingting’s quick reactions, she could have been hit.
"Damn! What rotten beam!" He was angry that it almost hit Suizi, and kicked it.
A hit from the foot, and the sound of metals clashing echoed.
Yu Jingting shone the flashlight on the beam and it glimmered back.
The couple looked at each other, stupefied.
Yu Jingting brought his hands together in a prayer, bowing towards Suizi.
"Miss Piggy showed her power, you’re truly a Lucky Star!"
Suizi remained silent.
If he hadn’t mentioned "Miss Piggy" at the start, she would have been very happy.
