Chapter 48: Chapter 48 Reading is Useful

Years ago, only a few households raised geese for household security.

Several disreputable men would bother Wang Cuihua when she first became a widow.

Some even tried to climb her walls at night. That’s when she started keeping big geese.

The ones named Tiebing and Tieqiu were left from that time.

Yan Dagang said that he was pecked by the geese and created a problem when he was young.

Yu Jingting didn’t pay attention to this, but Suizi did.

If the old man wasn’t trying to harass the wife, why would he be pecked by the geese?

This point made the tired Yu Jingting return for another round of "thanks".

The village chief wanted Suizi to persuade Yu Jingting to stop when he was getting the upper hand.

Suizi kept her head down, her eyes rimmed with red yet her face was expressionless.

She was not scared, nor did she have any sympathy.

The village chief suddenly understood.

While Yu Jingting was the one leading the assault, the plan was devised by Suizi.

Every incident that occurred in the village recently came to mind. Out of the complicated matters, nothing was unrelated to Suizi.

Suizi’s facial features hadn’t changed, but her eyes were entirely different. This kind of determined and decisive look was rarely seen in women.

In her petite profile was a powerful spirit.

The setting sun cast a faint golden glow over Suizi. The winter wind blowing, bone-chillingly cold. Her silhouette seemed to put pressure on the village chief, and he didn’t dare to say anything more.

The room was suddenly silent.

As Yu Jingting walked out, Suizi was standing in the dim light. He extended his hand towards her, she obediently walked over, took a handkerchief from her pocket, and carefully wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead.

"You’ve worked hard."

"It’s nothing."

Suizi leaned toward his ear and whispered something.

The village chief saw Yu Jingting’s eyes light up - Suizi must have said something exciting as his eyes were practically glowing green.

"Really?" Yu Jingting asked.

Suizi, blushing, nodded her head.

As a businesswoman and manager in her previous life, she knew well that a boss must be clear about rewards and punishments. Although she was clueless about married life, she thought it was the same.

Not only did he help her catch the culprits who had done so much harm, but he also saved numerous female students. He was her hero tonight and deserved encouragement.

"Let’s go, let’s go home quickly!" Yu Jingting wished he could grow wings and fly back home immediately.

"What about Yan Dagang——?" the village chief asked Suizi, a trace of awe unconsciously creeping into his voice.

"Lock him in the school warehouse and turn him over tomorrow morning. Sir, you’d better find a few young men to guard the door."

"Why?"

As Suizi passed by the principal, she stopped, and in a voice only the two of them could hear, she said, "Sir, it’s time to win people’s hearts."

Suizi left with a visibly excited Yu Jingting.

The village chief stayed, pondering the meaning of her words. The principal went to the grove and took a look -

The sight was unbearable, truly unbearable.

Yan Dagang was unconscious, and there wasn’t a part of his body that hadn’t been brutalised. Street fighters really were ruthless.

"Damn, what did Chen Hansui mean by her last words?" the principal asked.

The village chief had figured it out and was both shocked and joyed, with a touch of fear.

"This girl doesn’t lose to her mother in terms of tactics, fortunately, I didn’t offend her..."

Not immediately turning Yan Dagang over was to provide an opportunity for the parents of the bullied students to vent their anger.

She was suggesting the principal keep him secured in the warehouse, and have a couple of young men guard him. Should any parents want to avenge their children, they can mask themselves and have a go, as long as they don’t cripple or kill him and he can still be delivered to the state the next day.

The village chief just needed to notify each household in the nearby villages, those with fifth-grade girls, discreetly explaining the situation and stressing that nobody else would know about it.

Parents would naturally ask their children if they had been wronged. If there were vengeance to be had, they would have their chance for revenge, creating loyalty towards the village chief, and Suizi would be seen as removing a menace from the villagers, and the evildoers would get their due punishment.

"What in the world?" The principal, oblivious to what had happened, felt that the village chief’s expression was very subtle.

"The master of offense stands above the ninth heaven, the master of defense hides under the ninth earth." Tonight’s events reminded the village chief of this memorable line from a story recounting.

If one were to say, Yu Jingting was like the sky above the ninth heaven with his authority subtly visible, Suizi would be like the earth beneath the ninth earth, hidden and mysterious. How did these two end up together?

"What? Why are you always talking in riddles?" The principal was still in the dark.

The village chief patted his shoulder.

"What I’m saying is, you must never offend Chen Hansui."

This girl’s mind was so sophisticated, and with a man like Yu Jingting by her side, the two, one skilled in pen and the other in martial arts, must one day accomplish great deeds.

...

During dinner, Yu Jingting kept staring at Suizi, fearing she would find an excuse to go back on her promise after eating.

This woman took him for granted and promised to satisfy him.

Just these four words, "pack and satisfy," had been scratching at Yu Jingting’s heart all night.

He wanted to know, how she was planning to satisfy him.

After dinner, Jiaojiao stuck to Suizi for a bedtime story while Yu Jingting paced back and forth, his face serious, his hands behind his back.

"I’m going to talk to your sister-in-law." Yu Jingting motioned to Suizi with his chin, and looking at him, you would think the words "anxious" were written on his forehead.

Jiaojiao looked curiously at her brother and sister-in-law, and Suizi blushed completely under the innocent eyes of the child.

"What is it that I can’t listen to?" Jiaojiao asked.

Yu Jingting playfully looked at the blushing Suizi, teasing her in a bad mood:

"Yeah, you can tell Jiaojiao." He found it addictive to make her blush.

"Sister-in-law is going to teach your brother a classic poem. ’To the Censor Han Cho of Yangzhou,’ want to listen?"

"Get out of here." Jiaojiao, one hand shooing each person, pushed the two of them out, not wanting to hear the word study, as it made her sleepy.

When they reached the West Room and closed the door, Yu Jingting raised an eyebrow.

"Did you just lie to a child?"

"No." Suizi’s voice was barely louder than a mosquito’s, her head down, she muttered, "I was just telling the truth."

Yu Jingting wanted to ask more, but Suizi didn’t give him the chance. This was the time for the award ceremony for the great hero Yu Tiegen and no disturbances were allowed.

Tonight in Yang Village was destined to be a sleepless night for many.

In the abandoned school warehouse, villagers with their faces covered entered from time to time, and a howling was heard non-stop.

For evildoers, it was indeed a day of retribution.

For Yu Tiegen, who had done a good deed, it was an unforgettable and exciting day.

She told him, "I have no experience, it might be very bad, can you bear with me?"

Much later, Yu Jingting, unable to sleep from the excitement, got up.

She was really humble. What was bad about it?

It was terrific. An honor student is always the best at everything.

He picked up a copy of 300 Tang Poems from the ledge and looked up the poem she mentioned, reading each word and sentence with an unprecedented enthusiasm for learning.

It was no exaggeration to say that if he had this kind of enthusiasm when he was in school, he might’ve been able to get into tech school.

Under the moonlight pouring through the window, Yu Jingting read the last line, dumbfounded. Suddenly, he felt that his behavior, which compared plants to what was in his mouth, was so inferior compared to her!

If these cultured people started playing dirty...it would be too terrifying!

At this moment, Yu Jingting developed a sudden reverence for his wife, who was full of book knowledge; she was extraordinary!

In her dream, Suizi dreamed of Yu Jingting’s heroic feats of capturing criminals in dangerous situations, her man was so handsome!
