I am chasing a rough man in the 80s

Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Solve the Game with Sincerity

Yu Jingting quickly distanced himself from his dear father, decisively standing on Suizi’s side.

He flicked his sleeve disdainly—the resentment aroused by this gesture alone was enough to drive Yu Shuisheng to strangle him three times over.

"I am a man too, but I’m different from those who use alcohol as an excuse to act crazy."

"Right, you’re a street rat, not the same as those drifters."

Yu Jingting glanced at Suizi, seeing no shame in her words, rather taking pride in them.

"See, my wife’s assessment of me is very accurate. I’m not exactly a traditionally "good" guy, but this kind of behavior where I only get mildly tipsy, blow on a breezy wind and hug and cuddle others—I would never do that."

"..." Yu Shuisheng was left speechless by his son’s blunt words.

With Yu Jingting’s statement of "We’re not the same," it was as though he’d sentenced his own father to guilt.

Wang Cuihua nodded repeatedly, looking at Yu Shuisheng with eyes full of disappointment.

"If you love drinking and taking advantage so much, you might as well pack your things and go back to being the neighborhood rogue!" Wang Cuihua, in her fury, didn’t hold back in her harsh words.

Hearing her mother-in-law starting to drive people away, Suizi began to try to mediate.

"Mom, my dad is a victim too. He had lost his memory at that time. His actions were all influenced by the people around him, they weren’t his own will."

It wasn’t entirely an excuse.

People’s behavior can be influenced by their environment. The grey area that Yu Shuisheng was in was already walking on the edge. The behavior of the people around him certainly wouldn’t be ordinary.

Yu Shuisheng’s behavior in that environment cannot be said to be excessive, and could even be considered restrained.

"Our good proletarian youth has succumbed to the bad influences from that place. It’s not actually my father’s fault. Rather, it’s the devilish capitalist system that has numbed everyone and led to environment degradation. How many people could have done better than my dad in such a light-deprived place?"

These few sentences from Suizi completely cooled down Wang Cuihua.

"I’m definitely better than him," Yu Jingting raised his hand to express his view, attempting to elevate himself by trampling down on his own father.

He was swiftly kicked away by Suizi.

"People standing in the sun should never mock those who are in the darkness because we can’t make assumptions. There are no ’ifs’ in life."

The young couple’s pow-wow reduced Wang Cuihua’s anger by more than half.

"Hey old man, how did you manage to touch without——you know what?" Yu Jingting hugged his father, grinning mischievously.

Yu Shuisheng’s face turned fiery red. Wang Cuihua fell into contemplation, her gaze gradually becoming vacant.

Suizi was taken aback by this trickery for an entire year.

In her mind, Yu Jingting was always clear-minded. Each of his seemingly casual and lax actions each had a strong purpose.

In Suizi’s impression, she had never failed when cooperating with him. He was not a person who acted without thinking.

But every word he spoke today sounded as if he hit rock bottom in terms of wits.

She couldn’t determine Yu Jingting’s motive.

Just as Suizi had diverted the topic a little, he immediately blurted out a fatal remark. His seemingly careless words conveyed Wang Cuihua’s deepest fears and genuine thoughts she was unwilling to express.

She gave up on figuring it out.

She let it go, accepted the mess, and resigned to resistance. Silent, she watched quietly as Yu Jingting’s played his hand.

"Old man, you might as well admit it. You’re not...functional anymore, right?"

Yu Jingting threw out another remark, making Suizi’s eyes widen in shock.

Good god, as a daughter-in-law, was she supposed to hear that?!

"Gosh!"

Yu Shuisheng erupted in rage.

With foresight, Yu Jingting promptly ran off, not forgetting to snatch away his dumbfounded wife on the way.

"Mom, my dad can be regarded as a medical miracle. You have to treat him well."

"Little rascal! Get back here! I’m gonna tear you apart!" Yu Shuisheng was seething with anger. At this point, he just wanted to tear Yu Tiegen apart, wrap him in cement bags, and throw him into the river to feed the fish.

"Don’t forget to feed milk to my child. We’re leaving~~~"

Yu Jingting’s taunting voice came from the entrance. When it came to escape, he was the best.

The young couple hurried away without even sparing a glance at their child.

Yu Jingting took Suizi to a restaurant. Despite the storm at home, it had no effect on his good appetite.

He even ordered a bottle of beer and specifically avoided his brand.

"Know yourself, know your opponent, right? Just trying everything."

"You don’t plan on billing it on company’s expenses, do you?" Suizi instantly figured it out.

"The Factory Director is conducting a market survey. Don’t tell me he should pay out of pocket? Dang, after today’s incident, our old man probably wants to kick me out of the house."

The days where his wealthy biological father would give him pocket money were long gone. He needed to save money; he was no longer the son of a rich man.

"You really did... " Suizi couldn’t find the words to describe him. Yu Jingting’s operations today had triggered many shocking points.

His last bold hypothesis about his father-in-law’s health condition alone was enough to pique Suizi’s curiosity.

As a civilized person, Suizi has some ethical burdens to bear.

At this moment, she was carrying on a major debate in her head. Ethically, her daughter-in-law’s persona really shouldn’t entertain doubts about her father-in-law’s "health". But with such a juicy topic in front of her, it felt somehow wrong to let it go...

"A decent person would never be curious about their elders’ private lives," Yu Jingting raised an eyebrow, his eyes full of jest.

He knew Suizi well. She hardly ever showed her internal emotions, yet today, her hesitation and confusion were visible on her face.

It was clear that the big shot he had just fired had inflicted significant damage against her.

Suizi was left dumbstruck by him, lowered her head to look at the glistening rice in her bowl, wavering between "being a decent person" and "fulfilling her curiosity".

The restaurant staff were busy trying to hang a new picture frame on the wall. When asked, they would excitedly introduce that it was a group photo taken when the city leaders visited for an inspection.

A bright idea popped into Suizi’s head.

"Einstein once said that you can’t solve a problem with the same level of thinking that created it, just like that picture frame on the wall."

"Look, the person hanging the group photo won’t be able to see if it’s crooked or not. It takes a person standing at the back to see clearly, isn’t this jumping out of the same level to look at the problem?"

"Speak normally."

"Why don’t we leave ethics behind, abandon our identities as juniors, stay true to the facts, and explore the truth about grandfather being sober even after drinking?"

"Just say it straight, you’re interested in whether or not our old man gets castrated and sold for entrance tickets, going round and round, aren’t you tired?"

Suizi’s face turned red, but her eyes were still filled with curiosity as she looked at him.

Yu Jingting: (￣▽￣)V

He didn’t care about Einstein or any chicken feathers, it didn’t matter.

Want to hear his thoughts? Pay upfront, twice.
