Chapter 452: Chapter 452: What You Get Is Called Giving Up

Wang Cuihua thought that the vixen was vying for her son, while Yu Jingting thought the woman was trying to set up his wife with someone else.

Their thoughts were completely in opposing directions, but mother and son were in agreement on this issue.

Wang Cuihua found her son particularly pleasing to the eye, which made Yu Shuisheng, who was silently gnawing on a sparrow on the side, especially irritating.

"Look at your son! Now look at yourself!"

Yu Shuisheng felt wronged and confused, he hadn’t done anything wrong.!

What did he do!? Even quietly eating was offensive!?

As Yu Shuisheng looked down, Bobo bit into the fried sparrow in his hand, trying to steal a bite with his tiny teeth.

"Oh dear, you can’t eat this, little buddy."

"Why can’t he eat it, a little should be fine right?" Seeing her great-grandson drool for it, Wang Cuihua couldn’t bear it.

How could a human cub have any harm in mind?

"Sparrows grow up in the wild eating insects, we can’t be sure if they carry any parasites. Adults can eat it, but it’s better not to feed such big kids. Fried food is hard to digest too."

The men of the Yu Family were very interesting. On any ordinary day, they seem unruly and careless, but when it comes down to serious matters, they are reliable and thoughtful. Suizi fully trusts them to take care of their child.

"It’s been fried, the high temperature would kill any parasites. Just licking a little should be okay, right?"

Wang Cuihua saw how keen the child was and couldn’t bear it.

"A spoiling mother often fails her child, in your case, you’re a spoiling grandmother failing her grandson." Yu Shuisheng’s words made Wang Cuihua furious.

Seeing they were about to argue again, Suizi quickly stepped in to mediate.

"She is his grandmother after all, my colleagues are so jealous of me for having such a good mother-in-law. But Dad, you’re right too. Mom, take a look at Shen Liangyin. She’s very focused and unprincipled, clearly a product of a lack of family education."

"You’re right, she’s ’born from a mother but not raised by one.’" Wang Cuihua’s attention was steered away by Suizi, and Yu Shuisheng narrowly escaped a scolding.

Suizi swiftly passed all the remaining sparrows to Yu Jingting, hinting him to eat quickly to save the child from seeing them and feeling tempted, and to save the grandmother from not being able to resist it.

Yu Jingting smacked his lips, and began to patiently instruct the two young ones who were envious of the roasted bird.

"See that? Learn from your mother when you grow up. She keeps everyone happy and offends no one."

"Emotional intelligence needs to be cultivated from a young age. A good family upbringing can turn a child into a pillar of society. We, as parents, should avoid preaching grand principles that we ourselves cannot adhere to, actions speak louder than words."

Wang Cuihua was particularly pleased with Suizi’s words, she even forgot about the issue whether to let her grandson eat the sparrow or not. Suizi and her husband maintain a perfect synergy, successfully preventing a minor family dispute.

"Yes, Tiegen should stay away from that woman, she’s no good. Her aunt is no good either, she’s just like her aunt. If she had any decent elders to teach her, she wouldn’t have done all these shameful things."

Fearing Wang Cuihua might bring up Yang Jinhuan again, Yu Shuisheng quickly picked up the paper bag on the kang bed, attempting to distract the conversation.

"What’s in this bag?"

"Shen Liangyin brought it over, said Jingting would be interested."

Neither of the couple bothered to open it, some people just overestimate their own influence.

To Jingting, the paper bag brought by Shen Liangyin couldn’t compare to the satisfaction of hunting a few sparrows to relieve his cravings.

"Joint development?" Yu Shuisheng took out the paper from the bag and read the contents. He already had a hunch about it.

"What does that mean?" asked Wang Cuihua.

"She wants to develop a new project, to make money with your son. Clearly stated, the superior will not interfere with his subsequent management."

No wonder Shen Liangyin had such confidence. She was sure that Yu Jingting would not refuse. The conditions were indeed attractive.

"Such a huge power in the hands of merely a Factory Director of an Ice Cream Factory. She owes it all to her father, doesn’t she? Tiegen is on par with her, isn’t he? Look at her wielding power here."

Yu Shuisheng casually dropped the paper onto the kang, seemingly not caring, but each of his words hit the nail on the head.

"If this system doesn’t change, it’s going to fall apart sooner or later."

Suizi admired her father-in-law’s insight. She knew that the Northern economy would face problems because of her memories from her previous life. However, her father-in-law, being a part of the system, had the clarity to point this out when everything seemed to be going well. He was indeed impressive.

"I’d say, there’s no need to be a factory director. It might seem glamorous on the surface, but you’re nothing more than a puppet. The way they pull the strings is the way Tiegen has to move."

Yu Shuisheng’s thoughts were still on the Border. He had lived there for ten years, all his connections and foundations were there.

Just by his territory, a person like Shen Liangyin could never meddle with his son.

"No, backing off now would be playing into Yang Jinhuan’s hands. When your reckless foster father sent her here, he wanted to stir up trouble with us. So if you go back hastily, he will be satisfied."

Wang Cuihua didn’t understand bigger strategic situations or business wars.

But when it comes to protecting her offspring and her man, she is an absolute expert.

Now that Yu Shuisheng was back, she had to keep him here. She wouldn’t allow him to leave again, even if it meant taking the whole family with him.

The parents-in-law disagreed, and Suizi thought that each of them had valid points. No matter what choice is made, there is room for development.

According to the father-in-law, returning to the Border to forge a path, considering his many years of networking, would give Yu Jingting an advantage over others.

According to the mother-in-law, staying here to continue foiling the Shen Family’s plans would not necessarily be smooth, but it would be very beneficial in shaping Yu Jingting’s personal capabilities.

Suizi looked to Yu Jingting. The core of this matter revolved around him, the decision rested on his shoulders.

"Whatever decision you make, I will support you." Suizi took a stance, his position was hers, whether he moved left or right, she had faith to support him.

The entire family turned to look at Yu Jingting. Without saying a word, he stretched out and walked out of the house to the Courtyard.

Probably smelling the sparrow from the Yu Family’s house, the neighbors from the Yang family set up a cage in their courtyard in emulation.

They busied themselves for half a day and hadn’t even gotten close to catching a single sparrow, cursing loudly in the courtyard.

"Stupid, sightless creatures, not eating, fine! I quit!" shouted Yang Jr., frustrated. Right after his outburst, a bag of sparrows fell from the sky. When he looked up, he saw Yu Jingting standing on the other side of the fence.

"Oh, Tiegen, you’re not eating anymore?" Seeing it was Yu Jingting, Yang Jr. couldn’t help but appease him.

"We can’t finish them, they’re yours now - oh right, only when you receive something and then let go that’s called giving up, never getting it in the first place and not wanting, that’s called quitting halfway."

"Yes, yes, you’re right." Yang Jr. didn’t understand what he meant, so he took the sparrows back to his house. When he got home, he muttered quietly, "Yu Tiegen stayed in the city for a while, and now he’s like his wife, speaking so politely. It’s hard to understand what he says."

Wang Cuihua felt that her son’s words had a deeper meaning, so she asked Suizi.

"What does he mean?"

"He wants to go back and earn back the respect that he deserves."
