Chapter 445: Chapter 445: The Big and Small God Stick (Thanks to Shu Yue’er + More)

When Yu Jingting and his son entered the house, the village chief was still in a daze, observing the baked potatoes that had fallen on the ground, mumbling to himself:

"This is too strange..."

Could there be some karmic connection between this potato and the old Yu family?

Even summoning spells aren’t this effective.

"Big bro, what are you mumbling about here?" Yu Shuisheng bent over, casually picked up a baked potato, broke it open with his hands, and took a bite in front of the surprised village chief.

"Not bad, quite soft."

"When did you guys come back?" The village chief came to his senses and hurriedly invited the father and son to sit on the kang bed.

"We brought our daughter-in-law back to sweep the graves."

"..." The village chief still remembered the big scene when Yu Shuisheng brought Wang Cuihua back last time.

What graves to sweep! He, this guy barely even respects our elders’ graves, let alone sweep them!

But he only dared to say this in his heart, pretending to be oblivious on the surface.

After some small talk, the village chief saw that Yu Jingting and his son seemed to be in a good mood, unlike they were planning to burn down the old Yu family houses. The atmosphere was just right, so he mentioned:

"Tiegen, your mother’s prediction really came true."

...

Suizi heated up the kang bed. It was the children’s first time in the countryside, they found everything intriguing. Sitting on the kang bed and looking out through the glass at the recent snowfall, the children were a bit restless.

"When your dad comes back, he’ll take you out to play." Wang Cuihua sat cross-legged on the kang bed, pacifying the two kids.

News travels fast in the countryside. The neighbors saw smoke from the chimney of the old Yu family home and knew that someone had returned, and soon they came to visit.

There were several people sitting on the kang bed and a crowd standing on the ground. Everyone was chatting about daily matters and complimenting the children on their good looks.

"His Aunt Si is so lucky. Shuisheng has returned alive after ten years away. Who wouldn’t praise Suizi for bringing good luck? Since she married into your family, good things have been happening. Even Tiegen has become a factory director."

Suizi came into the room with a tray of thawed frozen pears just in time to hear this.

She furrowed her brows slightly.

From what was being said, it seemed like a compliment, but it seemed like there was an undercurrent of stoking the fire. If her mother-in-law was the type to pick at small things, she might be disgruntled.

"Having a good life is the result of the efforts of the whole family. My mother-in-law is absolutely wonderful to me and the children. The cotton-padded jackets on the children were recently made by her."

Suizi changed the topic, denying them the chance to praise her excessively.

The woman was hit with a soft nail and felt somewhat defeated.

Wang Cuihua, who had seen plenty of social niceties, immediately understood the situation. She grinned and thought, aren’t you just shooting yourself in the foot?

On the way back, Wang Cuihua was still hesitant.

She was a show-off herself. If it came to who was living the best life now, no one could compete with her. The memories of being belittled by the villagers over the years were still fresh in her mind. She wished she could return to her hometown in splendid clothes and show off to her heart’s content.

But she was a bit reluctant. Her overwhelming superiority made her feel like she was bullying those whose lives weren’t as good as hers, which reduced her sense of achievement.

This "desire to show off yet feeling embarrassed" mood made Wang Cuihua feel as restless as if she had diarrhea but couldn’t find a toilet.

Seeing the expression on her mother-in-law’s face, Suizi couldn’t help but curl her lips up in a smile.

Her mother-in-law is really adorable.

Even though Yu Jingting, that rebellious son, always addresses Wang Cuihua as an old lady, she herself is quite young. Especially compared to everyone in this room of similar age, she seems to be from a different generation. No wonder her father-in-law is always up all night... cough, cough, cough.

Suizi shook off those unwelcome thoughts from her mind and mentally spat twice. Of course, it must be Yu Tiegen who led her astray. Is this the way a respectable person should think?

"No one criticizes my daughter-in-law, Suizi—they can’t! Why? Because it’s a fact! My son Tiegen has become motivated because of his good wife, and even Jiaojiao has won many awards under her sister-in-law’s guidance. It’s annoying."

Wang Cuihua’s boasting is in full swing.

"Auntie, what’s so annoying about winning awards?" A little girl mumbled a question and was immediately glared at by her mother.

"There’s no space to hang them, the walls are full. If I get any more, I’ll have to hang them in the Toilet hallway. And those trophies, like the ones for playing the piano, take up space and gather dust. I hardly have time to get rid of the dust, let alone deal with Suizi’s teaching excellence certificates...they’ve all been stashed away."

Once Wang Cuihua starts showing off, it’s like there’s no stopping her, she just keeps going and going.

She’s having a good time speaking, though it’s hard to know how many of her listeners find it enjoyable.

Suizi quietly sits on the heated platform, feeding her two kids frozen pears. She decides to let her mother-in-law maintain her hobby of bragging; it’s fine just to listen quietly.

As they say, every effect has a cause. If she hadn’t been psychologically traumatized by the villagers years ago, she wouldn’t be like this. No one is perfect, and it’s okay to have a few small flaws.

Wang Cuihua feels refreshed after her verbal outpouring.

Those who intended to sow discord between Suizi and Wang Cuihua shut their mouths. After listening for a while, they really couldn’t stand it anymore and left on the pretext of cooking, leaving only those who were relatively close to Wang Cuihua.

Suizi watched Wang Cuihua chat familiarly with everyone. This time, her bragging was less extravagant, but full of heartfelt family anecdotes and warmth.

"Cuihua is really blessed. Suizi is such a prolific mother. I’d agree to have a shorter life to have such wonderful twins." An aunt who was close to Wang Cuihua admired the twins with envy.

Seemingly sensing her kindness, Luoluo raised her hand to blow her a kiss, nearly melting the aunt’s heart.

"Isn’t that the truth? When I was choosing a daughter-in-law, I chose Suizi. Her destiny is good for her husband and children."

Wang Cuihua intentionally emphasized this point, making Suizi want to laugh again. Dear mother-in-law was defending her son again.

At first, Suizi was ridiculed for being a curse by the villagers. Everyone thought she was unlucky, fueled by Wang Fenfang’s deliberate spreading of rumors. Only her mother-in-law, against public opinion, insisted that her destiny was good.

"Speaking of which, how come your fortune-telling got even more accurate after you moved into the city? Did your prophecies improve?"

"Um——" Wang Cuihua was stumped, she didn’t even know what she had predicted.

"Auntie, what fortune did my mother tell?" Suizi asked on behalf of Wang Cuihua.

"Didn’t the Yin brothers lease your family’s tractor? Did you predict them having bad luck?"

"Oh, that!" Wang Cuihua remembered.

Earlier, the village chief, together with the brothers, sweet-talked and cajoled them into leasing the Yu family’s tractor for a high price.

Back then, under Suizi’s hint, Wang Cuihua deliberately warned that the brothers would be unlucky.

Because of the daily routines with their kids and dealing with the womanizer Yu Shuisheng, Wang Cuihua had forgotten about it.

"They really did have bad luck! The village chief is going bald from worry, and he’s planning to visit you in the city to discuss it. The Yin family will probably come calling soon."

"Uh..." Wang Cuihua, still puzzled, looked to Suizi.

Suizi looked down, appearing confident. It seemed as if she had predicted the current situation.

"Auntie, at that time my mother-in-law repeatedly advised them, but they didn’t listen. Now that the tractor has been taken back, they remember us. But it’s too late."

Everyone in the room gasped, and someone exclaimed,

"The tractor was only taken away this morning. How did you know?! Have you also, like your mother-in-law, become a clairvoyant?!"
