Chapter 466: Chapter 466: Jingting, Your Younger Brother Turns Out to Be You

Suizi and Wang Cuihua worked together and managed to trick Mrs. Li into kneeling and becoming a devout follower of Wang Cuihua.

"My son tripped and fell; does the wise one have a solution?"

Wang Cuihua sat with her eyes closed and her legs crossed, silent despite Mrs. Li’s pleading.

After a while, Mrs. Li seemed to recall something. She took two coins from her pocket and reverently placed them on the table.

Suizi facepalmed.

From causing a scene to giving money for a fortune. A failed attempt to steal but instead losing something of her own.

She couldn’t help sighing, thinking that this woman’s intelligence was questionable at best. She would have been better off staying in the hospital, taking care of Xiaoli.

Wang Cuihua, with her years of professional habit, opened her eyes slightly and glanced at the two coins, clearly unimpressed.

Now a rich woman, she was no longer satisfied by the few cents that used to satisfy her in the village.

So, she continued, "So unlucky, so unfortunate."

Mrs. Li shivered as the fortune-telling went on, she didn’t bring much money, and was stuck in an awkward situation, not sure of what to do.

Wang Cuihua suddenly opened her eyes, fixed an intense gaze at Mrs. Li’s brand new padded jacket, and pointed.

"That, there, it’s hiding an unlucky ghost! It’s harmful to your husband, your mother, and your son!"

Mrs. Li was so frightened she broke out in a cold sweat, her teeth chattering as she stuttered.

"Wh-wh-what should I do about this?"

"Take off the jacket!" Wang Cuihua ordered decisively.

"But it’s freezing out, without the jacket--"

People in Dongbei layer multiple pieces of clothing in the winter. With two pieces of padded jacket, Wang Cuihua figured she wouldn’t freeze to death and insisted she remove it.

"If you don’t take it off, then let the unlucky ghost stay in it, risking the health and future of your son..."

Wang Cuihua noticed Suizi was constantly muttering about "fate," so she continued along that line.

The essence of fortune-telling was the art of deception. The spiel was always the same, it rolled off her tongue like clockwork.

"Your son’s marriage prospects look very promising. His potential spouse is both lucky and wealthy. If you ruin this, you ruin eight generations of your blessings, and in your next life, you will be reincarnated as livestock."

Mrs. Li was taken aback. What a revelation! This is phenomenal!

Not wanting to miss out, she quickly removed her brand-new padded jacket.

As much as she wanted to hand it over, she hesitated, obviously still attached to it. Wang Cuihua shouted:

"Hand it over!"

Heartbroken at the loss of her jacket, Mrs. Li was on the verge of tears, but she swallowed her sadness and asked:

"May I inquire, wise one, where is this promising marriage prospect of my son?"

Suizi gestured at Zhang Yue’e who was also present.

"Near and far, right in this room! The one with the most blessings!" Wang Cuihua continued to play along with the charade.

Excited by her statement, Wang Mengmeng couldn’t wait to pop up.

"Auntie, I have a lot of blessings, right?"

"You sure are brazen. Get out of the way."

Suizi couldn’t hold her laughter.

Wang Mengmeng was so angry, she wordlessly cursed some nasty words, careful to not let her voice out, but let her lips move to express her frustration.

Yu Shuisheng, who was having fun watching, had noticed Wang Mengmeng’s silent cursing and couldn’t help but smirk.

Nice. He’ll remember this.

"You! You’re the one!" Wang Cuihua pointed at Zhang Yue’e. "You are one lucky girl, such a smooth face, bound to have great fortune in the future!"

Zhang Yue’e had also been standing in front of Suizi, so naturally, she hadn’t seen Suizi and Wang Cuihua conjuring up their little scam.

Suddenly being called out, she was surprised and startled.

"But... my parents died quite early..."

"That’s because they repaid the debts of their past lives and their time was up. It has nothing to do with you. Had it not been for you, they would have died even earlier."

Wang Cuihua’s words made Zhang Yue’e teary-eyed, changing the way Mrs. Li regarded her.

Did she really make a mistake?

"But my son is still lying in the hospital, could it be because of her——"

"Your son was living with her?" Wang Cuihua countered, "The two of them weren’t together, if there’s a jinx, it’s more likely you!"

The logic of this was shockingly sound! Mrs. Li didn’t dare to ask any further, immediately humbled.

"Auntie, I see you do care about your son. But fate is predestined, and marriages are predetermined. One must let nature take its course, otherwise——"

Suizi cast a sympathetic glance at Mrs. Li. If she continued to be stubborn, her mother-in-law might not even leave her any underwear.

Upon this, Mrs. Li had a sudden realization, feeling that both Suizi and Wang Cuihua were good people.

"Yue’e, I’ll give you half a day off. Go to the hospital on behalf of the school to visit Xiaoli. Let him recover well. I’ll still count this month as full attendance for him."

Wang Cuihua slapped her thigh and said to Mrs. Li, pointing at Zhang Yue’e:

"See? Isn’t she blessed? She still has a salary, right?"

Mrs. Li nodded continuously, muttering under her breath, "It’s so miraculous."

How could it not be miraculous? This was all orchestrated by Suizi and her mother-in-law. The matter of the salary was just something Suizi casually added when handling the accounts. The money wasn’t coming out of her pocket, so why not do someone a favor and be the good guy?

Just as they saw Mrs. Li being taken down by the combined efforts of Suizi and Wang Cuihua, suddenly, a formidable woman who had been standing nearby spoke up.

"Auntie, don’t let them deceive you. These two are tricksters!"

This woman had been under Yu Shuisheng’s pressure and didn’t dare to speak, but witnessing Suizi and her mother-in-law turn the tables in a matter of mere words made her unable to hold back.

Having said this, the woman suddenly raised her hand, aiming to scratch at Suizi’s face.

Yu Shuisheng was at the entrance and couldn’t make it over in time.

Suizi was about to get her face scratched by the dirty fingernails of this woman.

Suddenly, an object flew towards them amid a roar.

"Stop!"

With a yelp, the woman’s hand was hit by the flying object, causing her to cry out in pain.

The object struck the woman before landing on the table, delighting the little LuoLuo in Suizi’s arms at the sight.

"Cake! Cake!"

It was a bag of Osmanthus cake wrapped in oil paper. The little girl recognized the packaging—it was a common treat at home.

A furious Yu Jingting stood at the entrance, glaring at his father with contempt.

"Good thing I made it in time. I can’t count on you."

Having said that, he strode into the room, intending to lay into the awful woman who’d nearly injured his wife.

Moving further into the room, Yu Jingting frowned.

"Jin Qu?"

"You know each other?" Suizi asked.

"She is Ma Guocai’s wife."

"Oh——?!" Suizi was slightly surprised. So this was the woman who had her eyes on Yu Jingting!

Yu Jingting told Suizi only yesterday that Ma Guocai’s wife, a prison tyrant, was making blatant advances towards him.

Yu Jingting had pre-emptively informed Suizi in case she caused further trouble and stirred up discord.

Who would’ve expected that they would meet in such a peculiar way today?

Suizi initially only perceived the woman as malicious. Now she realized—this was the kind of demeanor a socially astute woman should possess. It made sense now.

"You have a... rather apt name," Suizi said looking at Jin Qu.

Jin Qu, it seemed that based on her unruly and unreasonable character, she would soon be ’in’ (prison) herself.

The particularly bold woman who moments ago was ready for a fight, became bashful upon seeing Yu Jingting arrived, not even minding her aching hand. Her face was full of shyness.

Ordinary women blushing and being shy might resemble a flower, but when her kind did, she looked more like a flesh-eating plant. It was especially discordant.

Suizi shot a sympathetic glance at Yu Jingting. Although her husband’s charm with women wasn’t something new, this particular ’tiger lily’ was indeed an eyesore. No wonder he ran back overnight, his face full of grievance.

"Jingting brother, is it you?"

Suizi couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing her referring to Yu Jingting as ’brother’.

Yu Jingting shot her a harsh glare, thinking to himself: watch out, you gossiping girl!
