I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 446: Danger Strikes

Chapter 446: Chapter 446: Danger Strikes

Suizi was not a fortune teller, but she had already predicted this outcome.

It was not that she was accurate because she calculated well, but rather because she thought things through accurately.

Therefore, when the people in the village were gossiping about the Yin Family brothers’ tricycle being taken away, Suizi just pursed her lips and said:

"My mother-in-law saw that the Yin Family bros had a foreboding complexion, hinting that calamity would strike soon."

"Fourth Auntie, you payback karma seems too accurate! They really have fallen into bad luck!"

The crowd casted admiring looks at Wang Cuihua, who deeply believed in karma ramification.

Wang Cuihua couldn’t decipher what Suizi wanted to do, but knew that too much talk would not end well. Picking up a frozen pear, she only munched and remained silent, creating an impression of inscrutability.

Without Suizi and her daughter-in-law asking, the gabblers spat out the whole scenario of the incident.

The Yin Family brothers bought a tractor from Yu Jingting for 8,000 yuan.

Because they didn’t have enough cash, they even mortgaged their house, promising to repay 2,000 yuan within a couple of months, or the house would go to Yu Jingting.

And now, less than two months in, disaster struck.

"The newspaper just announced allowing farmers to make money with tractors. Now they disallowed it straightaway. Some officials came today and drove the tractor away, and Old Lady Yin is wailing on the ground."

Old Lady Yin is the mother of the Yin Brothers.

She doesn’t get along well with Wang Cuihua in the village.

Wang Cuihua is attractive and had remained single in her earlier years. A few people in the village were prejudiced, thinking that all beautiful women were not virtuous, but rather sly foxes.

Old Lady Yin was one of them.

When Wang Cuihua heard that the tractor had been taken away, her heart skipped a beat. She was preoccupied, and not in the mood for conversation, either.

Seeing Wang Cuihua in this state, the others tactfully withdrew.

A woman who was on better terms with Wang Cuihua lingered behind. Only after everyone had left did she pull Wang Cuihua aside to whisper, "Fourth Auntie, there’s something I’m not sure whether to say. The Yin Family has encountered such a big predicament, and I’m worried they might take it out on you. Yesterday, I was having a chat with the village chief’s wife and she mentioned that the chief is worried about the same thing. He was thinking of going into town to give you a heads-up, but he’s also afraid of alerting the Yin Family."

"What does their tractor being taken away have to do with my family?" Wang Cuihua asked.

"Well, they’re just not coping well mentally, are they? The Yin Family has always been competitive, constantly striving to compete with your family. They thought getting the tractor would make them rich, and yet... "

They didn’t get rich, and they lost their tractor, too.

This huge gap between expectations and reality, was enough to make anyone desperate.

The village chief was worried about this. When the members of Yu Family came back, he was planning to find time to go to town and inform the senior members of the Yu Family.

Knowing the ins and outs of everything, Wang Cuihua sighed in regret.

After sending the guests away, she chatted with Suizi.

"Suizi, why is there a knot in my heart? Although our family didn’t lose money this time, and the Yin Family hadn’t always been on good terms with us, but my heart still feels perturbed."

If it hadn’t been the Yin Family brothers who had forcibly taken away the tractor, perhaps it would have been her family who had suffered the bad luck.

Yet, Wang Cuihua couldn’t bring herself to kick someone when they were down and mock them for having been duped by her family.

"It’s normal, mom. I have always respected you because you’re very kind, and brother Jingting has traits similar to yours too."

What Suizi said made Wang Cuihua’s face warm, but her heart felt a lot warmer.

This was truly how Suizi felt.

In her previous life, when she was a ghost, she saw her mother-in-law’s kind side. In this life, every little thing further affirms this fact.

Although Wang Cuihua often spews foul language, is quick-tempered, and could rant for half a day on the street, she was essentially kind-hearted.

The cold northeastern black soil has bred a large number of strong-willed women like Wang Cuihua. They are fiery on the outside, smoking and drinking, and may initially seem hard to get along with, but after getting to know them better, you will discover that they are simple and sincere at heart.

"Let your father take me to the Yin Family’s place this afternoon. We need to advise them. You should stay here." Wang Cuihua said to Suizi.

Suizi knew that her mother-in-law was worried about scaring her, and with her father-in-law there, her mother-in-law should not be taken advantage of, so she agreed.

That afternoon, Wang Cuihua and Yu Shuisheng went to the Yin Family’s house. Yu Jingting wanted to tidy up the courtyard a bit, but Luoluo began crying in the house.

"Quack, quack, quack, quack"

Yu Jingting had no choice but to put down his tools and go into the house to attend to the baby.

Suizi was torn between laughter and tears.

"I guess she’s just getting restless from staying inside, and wants to go out for a walk."

Yu Jingting reached out to pinch his daughter’s little face, and the little girl giggled.

"Why are you acting like a little monkey, can’t stay still for one minute? Look at your brother, he feeds and sleeps, growing without much effort."

"Take the kids out for a walk, it’s such a rare opportunity to come home." Seeing that her son was also looking outside, Suizi suggested going out for a stroll.

Suizi and Yu Jingting carried the children out of the house, and walked side by side. A person appeared from the haystack by the neighbour’s house.

It was the younger brother from the Yin Family who had a look of hatred in his eyes, clutching a knife in his hand.

"Yu Tiegen, if you guys won’t let me live peacefully, then I won’t let you live either!"

At this point, Yu Jingting was unaware of the imminent danger. He was currently strolling around the village with Suizi.

When they met acquaintances, they would exchange a few words.

Since it was rather cold outside, after roaming for a while, Yu Jingting, concerned that the children would feel cold, wanted to go home.

However, both children started crying, clearly not wanting to return home yet.

Suizi was somewhat surprised. While her daughter was a restless one, her son was acting unusually today, crying even louder than his sister.

It seemed like he wanted to continue roaming.

Yu Jingting saw that his son’s eyes were constantly looking at a big tree in the east. Considering it was not far from his secret base, on a whim, he decided to take the children there.

Yu Jingting’s secret base was the same cave he had brought Suizi to before. It was dug by Yu Shuisheng for him, located at the foot of a hill.

When he brought Suizi here before, he said he wanted to pass this place on to his children. So, this time it could be considered a fulfilment of his youthful dream.

The two little ones found the cave extremely intriguing upon arrival.

Yu Jingting brought some grass to spread on the ground, and then sat on the ground with Suizi, each holding a child.

The not-so-large cave was now full. Suizi saw a far-off look in his eyes and guessed he must be feeling nostalgic.

The little boy who hid here in despair years ago after losing his father and being bullied by everyone had now grown into a sturdy man with his own family.

"Next time we come back, we’ll broaden the cave a bit. I didn’t expect you to be so prolific, spawning two at once."

Suizi nodded in agreement, about to say "okay," but then he added, "With more space, we can do some stuff in here, which would be convenient."

"???" Why should they "do stuff" in the cave?

Just as Suizi was about to criticise his inability to steer clear of "that" topic for more than three sentences, she suddenly heard voices from above.

"Where did your brother go? He didn’t actually go to kill Yu Tiegen, did he?"

"Who knows? Early this morning when he saw the Yu family returning, he was not in good spirits. I advised him to seek solace and that losing the tractor really was not the fault of the Yu family, but he just wouldn’t listen. I turned my back for a moment and he ran off. Even our pig-killing knife is gone."

Suizi and Yu Jingting exchanged glances, and Yu Jingting pointed at his nose.

Was he the one intended to be slaughtered like a pig?
