Chapter 377: Chapter 377: Tiegen’s Invincible Singing Voice (Update for 700+ Monthly Tickets)

Suizi guessed the beginning, but she got the ending wrong.

She surmised that her father-in-law must have run away without a word after his memory restored because he didn’t want to shoulder the responsibility.

Turns out, he sneaks back home in the middle of the night, climbing over the wall!

The unpredictable move took Suizi by surprise and awakened her to a truth: you simply can’t judge the folks of the Yu family by common sense.

"Huahua, is there anything to eat? I’m starving. I’ve had a tough journey back just to find you, didn’t even have a meal."

Wang Cuihua joyously unclasped her hands, wiping away tears as she walked to the kitchen. Suizi also wanted to be of help by following her but was gently nudged out by Wang Cuihua.

"Just let her do it." Yu Jingting pulled Suizi back.

To Wang Cuihua, making a bowl of noodles for Yu Shuisheng was the greatest happiness.

"What on earth were you doing? You vanished halfway through the bath! I thought you were feeling insecure about our size comparison." Yu Jingting gave Suizi a knowing look, and Suizi ducked back into the house, soon emerging with a bottle of Moutai.

She had been saving those bottles of wine maybe for their children’s wedding. Yet they had good news in the house, so unsealing one early wouldn’t hurt.

"It’s a long story. I wanted to have a serious conversation with you, but I ran into some folks as soon as I stepped outside."

"Which people?"

The adoptive father of Four Ye sent people.

Four Ye had been in this area for several days, and his adoptive father, concerned for his safety, dispatched some underlings to search for him. They settled near the bathhouse and coincidentally intercepted Four Ye while he was taking a bath.

Four Ye didn’t want people from that side to know about his home here, so he went back with them, leaving all his money with his son before leaving.

"What’s your plan?" Wang Cuihua, serving the cooked noodles, asked with concern.

She was in the kitchen, always lending an ear to the conversation outside, concerning herself with every move of Yu Shuisheng.

"I have to go back once, settle things there, and then come back for you all."

It took Yu Shuisheng half a day to sort out the memories of these years.

He is Hu Suye, but also Yu Shuisheng; a powerful gambling mogul in the border region, but also Wang Cuihua’s husband and the father of Tiegen and Jiaojiao.

Memories could reconcile, but the two starkly different life experiences weren’t so easy to reconcile.

"How long will you be away? When are you leaving?" Wang Cuihua didn’t know whether to be sad or happy. She didn’t want to part ways with Yu Shuisheng again.

"I’ll be leaving tomorrow morning. I don’t want you to get upset, so I sneaked back home to let you know." In reality, he was unwilling to part with his wife and children, and wanted to come back for a look.

Suizi, standing by, was swarmed with feelings.

She was so focused on thinking about the negative outcomes that she almost forgot there are many warm things in life.

"Stay a few more days before you leave! Jiaojiao misses you so much that she’s upset. You didn’t even say goodbye when you left."

"I can’t bear to leave you guys, but..." Yu Shuisheng looked at Wang Cuihua unblinkingly. The fervent gaze made Suizi feel like she was intruding.

Yu Jingting shot her a sympathetic look, as if to say, you’ll get used to it.

He had been through the same thing when he was a child, enduring his parents’ excessive affection. Geez.

"I will go back and arrange things over there, collect all my assets. Over the years, I’ve made a lot of money and collected a fair bunch of quality stones. Bringing them back here, you guys would lead a great life."

Yu Shuisheng didn’t dare to ask how Wang Cuihua had suffered during his years away. Looking at their condition now, they seemed quite well-off, with a TV and tractor in the house, and it seemed like they lived quite comfortably.

But what about before? He could imagine the hardships endured.

Now, he wants to get all the money back, to compensate for the years he had left them in the lurch, so that his wife can live a wealthy life for the rest of her days.

Money isn’t the main thing. Look at our son and daughter-in-law; they have decent jobs. Jiaojiao is also a good learner. As long as you return, our family would be complete."

Wang Cuihua always felt that things were not as simple as Yu Shuisheng had described.

"I’ll be back in a month if it’s slow, half a month if it’s fast. I’ll definitely be back." Yu Shuisheng spoke casually.

Wang Cuihua was both skeptical and convinced. She sat next to him, with a thousand questions in her mind, but not knowing where to start. She could only listen to him and Yu Jingting drinking and catching up.

Suizi stood aside, deep in thoughts.

Things certainly won’t be as relaxed as the father-in-law suggests.

If it were that easy, he wouldn’t have needed to hide from Yu Jingting in the bathhouse. And it’s not likely his adoptive father would just let him go easily.

They fostered the father-in-law to become the underground king in the gambling stones field. Apart from getting along well, there must be complicated interests involved.

It wouldn’t be easy to break away unscathed.

Moreover, the father-in-law said he would bring back all the savings he had earned over the years; the other side would almost certainly disapprove.

However, at this moment, the women of the Yu family were all indulged in the joy of reunion. Suizi didn’t want to dampen the mood, nor to upset her mother-in-law.

They finished the bottle of wine quickly, and Yu Shuisheng rubbed his hands together and cleared his throat.

"Tiegen, take your wife home earlier. You have to work tomorrow. Don’t stay up late."

"I told you, within three days I’d be sleeping..."

Fully drunk, Yu Jingting stood up with Suizi in his arms, and bragged to his father:

"I have a wife too. You two go be sweet to each other, and don’t bother us."

Wang Cuihua blushed. It was all her husband’s fault for being too obvious and inviting ridicule.

"Go on, go on. Kids, don’t mix into our business. Your mother and I have a lot of things to talk about, it’s not what you think!"

Yu Shuisheng was eager to clear the playing field. He wanted to be alone with Huahua for a while.

After ten years, his Huahua seemed just like the woman of those days, feisty and tantalizing.

"Well, talk for five minutes, and then spend the rest of the night in bed. This behavior can be succinctly captured in one phrase from a song, ’I miss you in the first half of the night that I couldn’t sleep—’"

Yu Jingting was the type who speaks without a filter even without alcohol; after a few drinks, he completely let loose and didn’t hesitate to tease his own parents.

Suizi was afraid that he would continue singing and upset his father-in-law and also make her mother-in-law lose face. So she dragged him towards the room with her signature smile on her face:

"Dad, Mom, Jingting drank too much. I’ll take him home."

Wang Cuihua gritted her teeth in anger and Yu Shuisheng was torn between laughter and crying.

"How did this boy become more unruly after he grew up?"

It seemed to him that Tiegen from his childhood was not so mischievous.

"After you left, relatives would come to bully us. Over time, he changed. Sometimes when I look at Tiegen, I feel like I’m looking at you; he is becoming more and more like you."

Her words deeply stirred feelings of guilt in Yu Shuisheng. He reached out and held her hand.

"Huahua, don’t worry, I’ll definitely come back."

"In the second half of the night, I think of you until dawn — mmm!" Yu Jingting’s voice disappeared behind the door, as if his mouth had been blocked.

Yu Jingting’s playful singing added an indescribable tint to the touching scene.
