I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 459: This Unstoppable Desire to Confess

Chapter 459: Chapter 459: This Unstoppable Desire to Confess

Suizi often felt that Yu Jingting’s body housed the spirit of a naughty boy that sporadically acted out.

Like now, for instance.

Suizi, pinned underneath him, couldn’t shake him off. This shameless guy was nestling against her shoulder, brazenly sliding his hand up and down while shouting,

"I’m really drunk!"

"To hell with you! Yu Tiegen, have you ever seen anyone who’s drunk admitting they’re intoxicated? Do I look like an idiot to you, letting you play me like this!"

"Which idiot’s wife is as adorable as mine? Come, gimme a kiss~"

Suizi covered his mouth with her hand, and while staring into Yu Jingting’s shocked eyes, she screamed out:

"Mom! He’s pretending to be drunk!"

Yu Jingting looked quite wronged, as if saying, my wife learned to tattle on me?!

Wang Cuihua, rolling pin in hand, stormed into the room, took one look at her good-for-nothing son lying atop her daughter-in-law, and scoffed.

"How did I birth a shameless son like you?!"

"I take after my dad! You chose him, so can you really blame me for following suit?"

Yu Jingting lazily sat up. His ploy of being drunk was exposed, so might as well face it now, considering the thickness of his skin.

"Don’t sidestep the issue. We’ll deal with you hitting your dad later, first explain where’ve you been hanging out recently and why are you always intoxicated?"

"So in your heart, two bottles of wine are more important than your husband? Dad! This old lady is drifting away~~~" Yu Jingting cried out to stir up discord.

Suizi rubbed her temples.

A thud was heard as Wang Cuihua’s rolling pin made contact with Yu Jingting’s shoulder, emitting a muffled sound.

"I don’t feel sorry for you at all." Suizi stated her thoughts candidly.

Some people are just naturally asking for trouble.

"There’s no love left in this house." Yu Jingting sighed, rubbing his shoulder where his mother had hit him.

"I was merely dining with some local friends, and came home directly after. I didn’t go anywhere else, fooling around, what fooling around?"

"Friends doing what?" Wang Cuihua continued to probe.

"Um, they’re..." Yu Jingting paused, suddenly pointed out of the window and said,

"The hair trader is here!"

"Hey! Hair trader, don’t leave, wait up!"

Wang Cuihua hollered and dashed back to her room to fetch the braids she had been stockpiling, before rushing out.

Jiaojiao cut her braid, the school no longer allows long hair.

The cut-off braids can be sold for money, and thrifty Wang Cuihua certainly wouldn’t let this opportunity slip.

The moment Wang Cuihua stepped out, Yu Jingting sprang up, grabbed his cotton-padded jacket, and began to leave.

"Where are you going?" Suizi asked.

"Gotta run an errand, no need to wait for me for dinner."

Suizi frowned, this was beyond unacceptable.

"Mom will kill you!"

"She can’t bear to make you a widow, darling. Wait for me tonight, I’ll repay you with lots of love~"

Yu Jingting cast Suizi a charming look and, while her cheeks flushed, he grabbed her wallet from the dressing table and pocketed it.

By the time Suizi regained her composure, he had already taken the money and run off.

Wang Cuihua saw her son leaving, shouted at him to stop, but how could Yu Jingting listen to her? He ran like the wind, disappearing in no time.

"Damn it, I’m so pissed!"

Wang Cuihua sat on the bed, thumping it furiously.

Each thump jolted the prone Shuisheng lying on the bed.

This was what you called ’when the child creates trouble, the father suffers the consequences’.

Wang Cuihua was mad at Yu Tiegen, but poor Yu Shuisheng bore the brunt.

"You just watch him run off with the money?!"

Wang Cuihua raged at her daughter-in-law, how could she just stand there and not trip Tiegen, then ride him like a horse, sit on his back, and give him a thorough beating?

"I didn’t know he stooped so low... Mom, do you think we were too strict on his allowance, causing him to rebel? Maybe I could give him a few more bucks next month?"

Suizi was angry but also reevaluating herself.

Did Yu Jingting rebel because his mother-in-law was too disciplinarian?

After all, her mother-in-law’s main intention was to create harmony in their family, and fundamentally Suizi was the beneficiary.

So, Suizi never interfered with how her mother-in-law controlled her husband, and she even enjoyed watching... Was she crossing the line doing that? Suizi pondered seriously.

"Delusion! He’s lucky if we don’t break his leg, let alone increasing his allowance. Ask your father, how many years we have been together, did I ever raise his allowance?"

Wang Cuihua pointed at Yu Shuisheng, who was lying down resting his back.

"We could increase it a little," said Yu Shuisheng.

Wang Cuihua’s hand lay on his aching back, her smile was "friendly", "I didn’t hear you, could you repeat that?"

"Why increase it? Not reducing it is already lenient enough, no need to talk about increasing his allowance," said Shuisheng tactfully switching sides.

After all, when it came between making her temperamental daughter-in-law angry or betraying his son, even a fool would make the right choice.

"We need to find out what this kid is up to outside, gathering with bad influences and splurging all day, is definitely not acceptable. We’ll split up to investigate."

Wang Cuihua assigned tasks to everyone.

Suizi was responsible for getting Jingting to confess that night.

That was plan one.

If Suizi couldn’t get the truth, then onto plan two. Shuisheng would tail Jingting and find out his whereabouts.

"Mother, Jingting is an adult now. Aren’t we taking this too seriously? He should know better," Suizi voiced her concern, worried her mother-in-law’s good intentions might backfire.

"Suizi is right... well, somewhat right." Yu Shuisheng, under Wang Cuihua’s intense gaze, immediately corrected his statement, "Let’s follow your mother’s plan."

Suizi raised an eyebrow, about to say something, but seeing her mother-in-law and father-in-law exchanging sweet glances, she swallowed her words.

Maybe for her father-in-law, being doted over by his wife was its own form of happiness.

Suizi admired the love their elders had for each other and wondered if she and Jingting would be similarly content in twenty years.

When Jingting returned home, it was already quite late. His breath was clear of alcohol scent by the time, and Cuihua was asleep. As usual, Suizi prepared the foot bath for him.

Jingting was unprepared for her calm demeanor.

On his way home, he rehearsed several responses to his wife’s potential outburst.

But Suizi remained unfazed, the calmer she was, the more anxious Jingting felt.

It turned into a game between them. She did not ask, so he wanted to talk; they were waiting to see who would break the silence first.

After preparing the foot bath, Suizi covered their sleeping children with blankets and started reading on the bed, as if nothing had happened.

"Don’t you have any questions for me?" Jingting couldn’t hold in any longer.

Suizi didn’t lay down her book, she just made a acknowledging sound and continued reading.

Jingting forced down her book and squinted at her.

"Am I that insignificant to you now?!"

Even though he was the one acting out, he sounded like a wronged wife, complaining pitifully.

"If you want to say something, you’ll naturally talk. If you don’t want to, what’s the point of me asking?"

"Kiss me, then I’ll talk," Jingting made a concession.

"Oh, then don’t bother speaking, and move aside, don’t block my reading."

Jingting got angry, not caring about the foot bath anymore, he yanked Suizi into his arms and started kissing her.

"I must say it!"

Strong-arming a confession, men! Suizi rolled her eyes and thought to herself, what a big baby he is.
