I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 36: What Kind of Divine Operation is This?

Chapter 36: Chapter 36: What Kind of Divine Operation is This?

Jiaojiao stood in the courtyard of her own home, watching her elder brother come back carrying her sister-in-law on his back, her lips pouting almost enough to hang an oil bottle.

It had been a while since her brother had carried her on his back.

She felt that ever since her sister-in-law arrived, everyone in the family seemed more distant from her.

"Tiebing, Tieqiu, only you two are nice to me", Jiaojiao said while feeding two geese in their home, feeling lonely.

"That’s enough feeding for the day, don’t give them more", Yu Jingting walked in carrying his wife on his back and casually remarked on seeing his sister squandering.

This cake was made from the residue of soybean oil extraction and is excellent poultry feed, once a day is sufficient.

Jiaojiao ran up and kicked Yu Jingting’s leg forcefully.

"Mind your own business!"

Yu Jingting gritted his teeth, the little girl was just asking for trouble!

"Let me down", Suizi struggled from his back, he had been unwilling to put her down all the way, and everyone in the village had seen it.

Perhaps it’s now being rumored that the Yu Family brought home a Lin Daiyu who sprains her ankles frequently for no reason, how embarrassing!

"I’ll go talk to Jiaojiao", Suizi thought about her sister-in-law’s recent behavior and thought it was time to formally talk to her.

Yu Jingting snorted in frustration.

"Why bother? She’s like a mad little dog, always biting whenever she sees someone."

He knew what his sister was like, completely spoiled by their mother.

"That’s okay, I can handle it." Suizi gave him a motherly smile and turned to go inside.

Yu Jingting felt something was peculiar about his wife’s smile.

Ever since she said that he must have suffered a lot, every time she looked at him, he felt a kind of indescribable feeling, just like the expression on her face when she looked at his little sister.

Wang Cuihua came back rubbing her chin, deep in thought.

He didn’t quite understand, but he felt there was something strange about it. A woman’s look at a man shouldn’t be like hers, should it?

Jiaojiao was angrily ripping apart her homework, Suizi saw scraps of paper all over the floor when she walked in.

"Jiaojiao, have you not handed in your homework these past few days because you don’t know how to do it?" Suizi asked.

"I don’t know how, and I don’t want to write. Anyway, I’m going to drop out of school and become a goddess." Jiaojiao said nonchalantly.

This problem had been discussed before, with the little girl insistent that education is useless.

"Let’s put aside whether studying quite literally is useful or not for now, I’ll take you to the city this weekend."

"Really?!" Jiaojiao visibly brightened up.

Suizi nodded.

She had long figured out how to guide her young sister-in-law.

The girl had grown up in Yuanjia Village and had never seen the outside world. The profession of goddess was the most respectable job in her cognition.

Suizi decided to take her to see the outside world, and then talk to her about her ideas when she came back.

Jiaojiao, unaware that she was about to be duped by her sister-in-law, bounced up cheerfully. She was no longer angry about Suizi stealing her brother and mother’s attention, and now kept praising how good her sister-in-law was.

"Jiaojiao, are you close with Erya?" Suizi asked, seizing the opportunity.

Jiaojiao was in a good mood and no longer confronted Suizi. Suizi asked her anything and she answered.

Suizi quickly understood Erya’s situation.

Jiaojiao said that Erya’s family was poor, she was motherless since childhood, wore tattered clothes, was sloppy, not good at studying, and not many people played with her at school.

When winter came, the students had to bring firewood to school, but Erya didn’t have any.

Suizi felt a sting in her heart.

Thinking of Erya in the future, who was strong and capable, always dressed brightly, Suizi joked with her that all the money she made went towards buying clothes and jewelry.

Looking back, these were all compensations for her childhood.

After the heartache, Suizi’s heart had slightly widened. Jiaojiao claimed to have not noticed any recent changes in Erya, which means the demon who hurt the child has not yet targeted Erya.

But he might have already appeared. The little maiden of Yuanjia Village may or may not be the first victim, but what if there are more in the future...

Suizi only regretted she hadn’t asked Erya more in her previous life, and knew too little about this matter.

Yu Jingting was chopping wood in the courtyard. Even though he is a rogue, he always volunteered to do these house chores, fetch water and chop wood. He never let women in the family do these heavy physical chores.

The only useful help she could rely on now was him. But he had already refused her and firmly stated that he would never meddle in unnecessary matters. If she were to say more, he might even eat her lips -- uh, Suizi quickly wiped these images from her mind.

Wang Cuihua came back from the street angrily, cursing as she walked:

"You damned gawkers, spitting nonsense again! If you don’t stop, I’ll tear your tongues out and feed them to the pigs!"

Wang Cuihua was genuinely angry. She came back and immediately ran to the water tank and gulped down a big scoop of cold water.

Drinking cold water in winter, to reduce her anger.

"Mom, what happened?" Seeing her so angry, Suizi quickly asked.

"It’s those people outside, spreading gossip...ensh, let’s not talk about it." Initially, Wang Cuihua wanted to vent her frustration to her daughter-in-law, but on second thought.

The relationship between her son and daughter-in-law had just begun to improve. What good was it to let the rumors outside reach her ears?

Suizi was curious, what had been said this time?

Soon, Suizi found out.

After dinner, Yu Jingting, having nothing to do, took Suizi to old Mr. Yang’s house.

The old man’s third son lived in one of the only three brick houses in the village. His family was well-off, so they were the only family who owned a television.

After dinner, when the villagers had nothing to do, they would gather at his house to watch TV.

Although the TV was very small, black and white, and had an antenna, the programs were also very monotonous.

The entire village had only that one TV set, and the house could not even accommodate everyone sitting inside to watch. As a "big shot", Yu Jingting still managed to get a small stool to sit on.

At that time, the popular TV show, "Shanghai Bund", was airing. Yu Jingting thought that his wife looked a bit like the actress in it, but his wife’s character was so much better than that of the woman who two-timed in the show.

Actually, Suizi wasn’t very interested in such old-fashioned TV dramas. Especially when there were so many people cramped together, the air was filled with smoke and human odor, which she disliked.

However, she couldn’t resist Yu Jingting’s enthusiasm.

They hadn’t appeared in this sort of "major event" together since they got married, after all.

The moment they entered the house, holding hands, all eyes were on them.

The glances they received were somewhat subtle.

Yu Jingting glanced around, furious.

The "vip" little stool right in the middle of the front row was supposed to be his.

But someone else was sitting there now.

Yu Jingting had planned to offer this position to Suizi, showing her his "status" in the village.

However, his seat had been taken. He wanted to see who dared to take his spot.

Upon seeing this, his heart sank. Wasn’t that Li Youcai, the bastard?

Suizi took a look and also gasped in surprise.

What???!

Did Li Youcai’s brain get flooded from her frequent attacks?

What on earth was he thinking?

Yu Jingting wanted to beat him up but hadn’t gotten the chance, and now, Li Youcai delivered himself to his doorstep?

Seeing Yu Jingting entering with Suizi, Li Youcai’s eyes glinted with pride.

He was about to play his trump card, whether or not it was enough to split Yu Jingting and Suizi, he was about to find out.
