Chapter 433: Is This Something a Father Should Do?

Chapter 433: Chapter 433: Is This Something a Father Should Do?

Yu Jingting was raging at Suizi one-sidedly.

But Suizi couldn’t understand what he was so mad about.

She was utterly confused.

"Why would Lun Lamei be credible?"

Yu Jingting’s fury due to being ignored by his wife slightly cooled after hearing her question.

With her calm face, Suizi made Yu Jingting feel like punching into a cotton ball, making him feel suffocated.

"Tiegen, come in!"

Wang Cuihua stood at the doorway, her hands behind her back, hollering out.

Yu Jingting shot Suizi a look, meaning to say, we’ll deal with this later.

"What the-- Damn!"

When her son approached, Wang Cuihua swung out a broom from behind her, aiming at his head.

Yu Jingting narrowly dodged his mom’s broomstick.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, he dodged his mother, only to be caught by his father.

A dustpan landed on Yu Jingting’s head, dealt by Yu Shuisheng.

Yu Jingting felt a rain of small scraps falling from his head.

This was the dustpan where he normally kept sunflower seeds. The residual seed scraps dusted his whole body.

"Speak honestly, punishment will be severe! Resist, punishment gets harsher!" Wang Cuihua stood with her hands on her hips.

"What the hell are you both doing trying to murder your own kin?!" Yu Jingting was stifled as he hadn’t cooled down from the fire sparked by Suizi before being disciplined by his parents.

"Ask your mom!"Yu Shuisheng declared staunchly.

Even though he didn’t know what Wang Cuihua was angry about, he always knew that listening to his wife was the right thing to do.

"What have you been doing behind Suizi’s back?! Going around strutting your stuff, can’t control your lusts any longer?" Wang Cuihua pointed at Yu Jingting.

Yu Jingting sought Suizi subconsciously but found that the heartless woman stood in the yard, refusing to come in. Was she afraid of getting involved?!

Yu Jingting felt like he would explode with anger.

He pointed right back at Suizi, expressing his frustration at her indifference.

Suizi made a flying motion with her hands, indicating that when trouble comes, every bird will fly its own way.

This infuriated Wang Cuihua even more. She pointed the broom at him and yelled:

"You’ve become too pompous since you were made factory director. Are you threatening your wife now? What, you want to hit Suizi?"

"Why would I hit her! Where were you when she was scratching me?!"

Yu Jingting really wanted to take off his shirt and show everyone what Suizi had done to his back in the dark.

Suizi was coughing uncontrollably in the yard, her face reddening.

Yu Jingting looked at her with a sense of victory, smirking. So, she does have something to fear, now she knows better, huh?

In a battle of thick skin, nobody could out-match Yu Jingting.

"If Suizi is disciplining you, you must have done something wrong, but if you can’t handle your libido, your dad and I will finish you off!"

"Right!" Yu Shuisheng absently agreed while focusing on the television set, urging simultaneously.

"Huahua, hurry up, the surgery should be fast, it’s reaching the climax of the show. Hurry up, I want to watch it after."

"!!!" Yu Jingting was fuming.

What kind of misery is this, having parents who would blindly take sides without knowing right from wrong!

Sensing that things were heating up, Suizi quickly made her way inside to mediate.

"Dad, Mom, it’s a misunderstanding. Jingting hasn’t fooled around with other women."

"Really? My dear, don’t cover up for him. If he dares to mess up, I won’t let him off. He can go back to farming for all I care. I won’t give him a dime, the child, or anything at all."

"Hey! That’s a bit much!"

Yu Jingting finally caught on.

His mom was threatening him.

So, if he dares to mistreat Suizi, his mother will kick him back to the countryside with not a penny to his name, leaving the rest of them safe and sound?

"If you don’t step out of line, I can’t interfere. You’re a father now, and you shouldn’t pick up all these bad habits. The wife is the backbone of the family. If the backbone is not stable, the family won’t prosper. I told you this when you got married."

From a Feng Shui perspective, Wang Cuihua combined examples - in one village, a man fooling around with women outside, leading to the family’s crops falling, in another place, someone sneaking into a widow’s place at night; his house collapsed during heavy rain.

She elaborated on how miserable the outcomes could be. At first, Yu Shuisheng was amusingly listening to his wife discipline their son, but after a while, he realized something was off.

Why was his wife looking at him while talking to their son?

The piercing gaze sent a chill down Yu Shuisheng’s spine.

"Those who can’t keep their pants zipped should all be castrated, right, dear?"

"Right, absolutely right." Yu Shuisheng quickly agreed, showing his humble side immediately.

Yu Jingting felt a twitch in his eye corner. He pointed to his father and asked:

"Old man, are you flirting with some old lady somewhere?"

"I flirt your mother!" Yu Shuisheng was so angry that he swore.

Yu Jingting took off the basket he was wearing on his head, with a smug look on his face.

"Right, you are flirting with my mom, aren’t you? Tsk tsk, and you do it every day." With a single sentence, he managed to shush his parents.

Wang Cuihua blushed due to her son’s words and stuttered:

"Stop with this nonsense... Anyway, remember this - there are rarely any good endings for those who become wealthy and then change their wives, even if they seem to live the good life now, they won’t fare well in a few decades’ time!"

Suizi just listened to her mother-in-law educating Yu Jingting. From the perspective of a wife, these words were very comforting.

If these pleasing words were true, how great that would be.

However, considering her experiences in her previous life and thinking about those peers who replaced their houses, cars, and wives after becoming rich, she had to admit that her mother-in-law’s words were too idealistic.

Everyone wishes that good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds are punished. Suizi also believes in karma.

But she also knows that there is a second half to the phrase ’Good begets good, evil begets evil’ - ’Punishment may not come immediately.’

As to when this "time" for retribution comes, whether it is the "several decades" her mother-in-law mentioned, or "next life", it’s hard to say.

While Yu Jingting was being rebuked by his own mother, Suizi’s thoughts drifted from karma to life. If it weren’t for Yu Jingting’s interruption, she probably would have continued to zone out for a while longer.

"You seem to be taking quite the pleasure in this, don’t you?" Yu Jingting crossed his arms and glared at Suizi, clearly looking for payback.

Wang Cuihua, who was preparing to go into the house, turned around in anger and kicked her son’s leg.

"Who do you think you’re threatening?!"

"Let it go, Huahua. This kid is thick-skinned. Don’t hurt your foot. We are better than him, let’s go inside - " Yu Shuisheng played peacemaker, ushering his wife into the house. They had to go inside, or they would miss the TV show.

He didn’t forget to turn around and say to Suizi: "I put the kitchen knife on the windowsill. If he dares to touch you, just chop him!"

"!!!" Yu Jingting was inwardly seething. Was this how a father was supposed to behave?!

Suizi didn’t take Lun Lamei’s words to heart. The grudge between them had been there for a long time, Lun Lamei obviously didn’t want her to be well-off and wouldn’t hesitate to make up tales. Suizi refused to fall into her trap.

So, after Wang Cuihua knocked Yu Jingting as a warning to Yu Shuisheng, Suizi thought that the matter had passed.

But just as she was preparing to go inside and calm an irate Yu Jingting, someone arrived.

This was exactly the woman Lun Lamei had mentioned - the one who was rumored to be involved with Yu Jingting.
