Chapter 373: Chapter 373: It’s all in the past (600+ monthly tickets update)

"Brother! Our dad is gone! He’s gone!! Whoa~"

Jiaojiao dashed into the yard, breaking out in a loud sob.

She cried as if she had lost the whole world.

She felt that she had failed Suizi, who had entrusted her with a mission.

Upon returning from a visit to the toilet, she found her father is gone!

Suizi looked up, Xiaoliu was standing at a distance outside the yard, not following Jiaojiao inside.

Yu Jingting also noticed him and squinted his eyes.

It seemed that his father’s follower, Xiaoliu, was quite scheming.

Jiaojiao didn’t know that the fourth master was brought back by Yu Jingting, but Xiaoliu definitely did.

Yet, Xiaoliu kept this from Jiaojiao, allowing her to run all the way back home. He didn’t enter the yard but stood in a relatively safe place outside.

If Yu Jingting decided to interrogate him, he would be ready to run.

He could even abandon the Boss.

Suizi glanced at Yu Jingting, and the couple exchanged a look.

The fourth master was their relative, but Xiaoliu wasn’t.

Being cautious of people was essential; it was always wise to be suspicious in such situations.

Suizi leaned into Jiaojiao’s ear and whispered something. Jiaojiao stopped crying and asked Suizi with teary eyes.

"Sis, why can’t we tell Xiaoliu that he is our father?"

A father is a father. Why couldn’t they openly acknowledge him?

"Sis is going to teach you something: harbor no ill intentions, but always be on your guard. We may not treat everyone in the world as bad people, but the only ones we can fully trust are our family," Suizi replied.

Jiaojiao somewhat understood that.

However, she knew that Suizi was always right in this household. Even if she did not understand the lesson now, she would remember it someday in the future.

Afterward, Jiaojiao ran outside the yard and told Xiaoliu a few things, leaving him puzzled.

"Our fourth master... he isn’t at your home?" Xiaoliu questioned.

Jiaojiao fervently shook her head.

"Hey, little girl, what exactly is your relationship with our fourth master? Why is he so nice to you?" Xiaoliu asked again, curiously.

Jiaojiao continued to shake her head as per Suizi’s instructions, evading his questions.

Seeing that she was just a young girl, Xiaoliu figured she didn’t know how to lie, so he had no choice but to search elsewhere.

When Yu Jingting was capturing the fourth master, Xiaoliu had been hiding and hadn’t seen it, so he wasn’t sure if the fourth master was really taken away by Yu Jingting.

Meanwhile, in the house, the fourth master witnessed the whole scene of Suizi instructing Jiaojiao. Though he didn’t hear what Suizi whispered to Jiaojiao, he clearly heard the words "always be on guard".

He admired Suizi greatly.

Merely based on this incident, he could tell that Suizi was no ordinary girl. She thought about everything thoroughly, which not everyone could manage.

Originally, he wanted to warn Suizi about being wary of what she said to Xiaoliu, because although Xiaoliu was technically his subordinate, Xiaoliu had a loose tongue. If he accidentally leaked any crucial information about Wang Cuihua, it could invite revenge from the fourth master’s enemies, which would cause trouble.

As Wang Cuihua lay on the bed, she wanted to observe the fourth master more carefully but felt shy about making eye contact. She glanced at the chair beside him and asked him to sit rather awkwardly:

"Have a seat."

"Ah —— I’m dirty. I can just stand." The fourth master was even more reserved than Wang Cuihua.

Suizi watched this awkward pair through the glass and shook her head with a sigh.

"They are the most familiar strangers in the world."

If it weren’t for all these unfortunate circumstances, they would have made a great couple.

Being separated for ten years undoubtedly caused a strain in their relationship. Even more so, now that the father-in-law had lost his memory, how should they cope?

Suizi was full of worry, frequently glancing inside the room.

Yu Jingting hugged her tightly.

"Let’s go. With the thickness of that old man’s face, you don’t need to worry at all. At most two days, he’ll be crawling into our mother’s bed."

"... Can you not be so straightforward?!" Suizi was shocked by him.

This literary young woman was all about sorrowful literature, like the boundless separation of life and death over ten years, wondering if our love would still exist.

Yu Jingting’s mention of "crawling into bed" tore the sentimentality of the literary young woman to smithereens.

"This is my full understanding of our old man. Don’t worry, you don’t need to concern yourself with those two. Our kids will wake up soon. Let’s hurry inside and check on the children."

"I’m going to find our Dad~" Jiaojiao bounced around wanting to sneak into Wang Cuihua’s room.

Yu Jingting grabbed her collar in one hand. Jiaojiao stuck out her tongue from being choked, almost rolling her eyes.

"What the hell, Yu Tiegen!"

"What are you going over there for when they’re chatting? Go, go, go. Go with your sister-in-law to watch the children."

Jiaojiao pouted.

Her fresh-out-of-the-oven father, still warm, she still wanted to have a good look at him.

"There will be plenty of opportunities for you to look at him in the future, it won’t hurt missing this moment." Suizi coaxed Jiaojiao while taking a look inside the room.

The fourth uncle had already moved from standing in the middle of the room to standing by the bed. In just a few seconds, the distance had shortened so much.

It seemed that what Yu Jingting said was right. Everyone in the Yu family had advanced social leather syndrome, so she didn’t need to be so pessimistic.

Inside the room, Wang Cuihua was nervous like a young girl. Aware that the fourth uncle was standing by her bed, she sat up and asked the air in front of her:

"Shall I pour you some water?"

"No, don’t! You lie down, don’t move around after your surgery, let me pour it for you – never mind."

The fourth uncle looked at his own hands. Although he had wiped them, they still smelled of sour watermelon.

"Let Tiegen help you shower later. I still have your clothes left here. When the old lady asked me to burn them, I couldn’t bear to."

When Wang Cuihua said this, tears fell from her eyes.

Keeping clothes is a reminder of those absent. Who could have imagined, the person is still alive.

"Don’t cry... hey, if you cry again, I’ll wipe your tears for you! Smell my hands." When the fourth uncle saw her crying, his heart ached tremendously, yet he was too flustered and afraid to wipe her tears away.

A scene formed in his mind, he asked: "Did I talk to you like this before?"

Wang Cuihua was still crying, but hearing him say this, she burst into laughter.

"When Tiegen was little and blew up the toilet, accidentally splashing you, you beat our son half to death. I was crying for him, and you said the same thing."

"If you cry again, I will wipe your tears for you! Smell my hand, get over here you little rabbit!"

This conversation appeared in both their minds, and the fourth uncle also laughed.

"Was Tiegen always this mischievous from a young age?"

The fourth uncle had no recollection of the name "Jingting", but as soon as he heard "Tiegen", he felt a warmth in his heart. That was his naming style.

"You have the nerve to ask? Who does he take after? He was only ten back then, and you were already leading him into various nuisances. If he hadn’t met Suizi and straightened up, he would still be a street rascal in the village."

Wang Cuihua only mentioned it casually, but upon hearing it, the fourth uncle felt a mixture of emotions.

"How have you and your son been coping all these years..."

Wang Cuihua’s nose twitched. She originally wanted to ask him, where the hell have you been, but when the words reached her mouth, they changed to:

"We’ve managed."

One sentence condensing ten years of difficulty. The past is memory, only the unpassable becomes obstruction. The barrier in Wang Cuihua’s heart turned into memory the moment she saw the fourth uncle.

But in the fourth uncle’s heart, this sentence stirred up huge waves.
