Chapter 51: Chapter 51: The Untasted Roasted Potato

"Li... Youcai?!"

Suizi’s voice couldn’t help but tremble in shock. Him?!

"My brother and I, following Jingting’s plan, hid out in our village’s small woodland, and watched Li Youcai sneak past..."

The younger brother narrated their experience in detail.

To brighten up his wife’s mood, Yu Jingting spent most of the earlier day near the tree by the village entrance, marking off suspicious spots on the ground with small twigs.

He and his group took turns watching these marked locations. Each suspicious spot having two people keeping an eye on it.

The informer was Yang Dazhi, who was paired with his brother Yang Erkui to keep an eye on the Yang Village’s small woodland.

Both brothers were in their late teens, an age where they idolized their older brother. They yearned for an opportunity to impress Jingting.

"He was acting so suspiciously, so sly... We thought we could nab him right there, but we remembered Jingting’s rule — always apprehend in pairs, never just one person."

Suizi looked at Yu Jingting in admiration.

Jingting was not just some hot-headed fool. His actions were a mix of rough internality and delicate exterior with a grand strategic vision.

If they had arrested Li Youcai alone, it could have led to a counter-accusation.

But Suizi was still perplexed.

"So, did Li Youcai truly abscond with the young girl?"

She did not mean to underestimate Li Youcai, but after being disciplined by Yu Jingting for consecutive days, the man hardly seemed capable of even lifting a piece of tofu, nonetheless forcefully taking someone...

Did he still have the strength to run off with a young girl?

"Young girl? No, he was with Lun Lamei. Wow, they went into the forest together, one in front, one behind, and they soon started making out... Ah, sister-in-law, perhaps you would like to rest?"

Yang Dazhi animatedly described the scene, nodding approvingly, truly impressed.

He had never seen such a spectacle in his life... it was exhilarating.

Noting the highly educated sister-in-law of the Yu Family’s eldest son was also listening with interest, Yang Dazhi suddenly stopped mid-sentence and began to cough.

Suizi was immersed in his storytelling and wanted to encourage Yang Dazhi to continue, assuring him it was alright.

She was ready to critique and expose the scandalous behavior.

Jingting looked at his wife’s interest in the gossip coldly. Humph.

Seeing Suizi was uninterested in moving away, and that Jingting had not interfered, Yang Dazhi was left to censor his own speech and continue his report, relaying only the sanitised points.

"The two of them started making out as soon as they met... Li Youcai undid his belt, and we rushed in, bound him and Lun Lamei, one person per sack. Jingting had initially instructed us to only bind the men, but this woman and our sister-in-law had unresolved issues."

So, they decided to Bundle up Abigail as well.

"So... Did he pull up his pants?" Suizi, ever the intellectual, always focused on the critical points.

"No."

Suizi imagined Lun Lamei and Li Youcai in such a "gracious" state, "sealed" in burlap sacks. Oh dear...

No one would believe those two weren’t up to something.

The pair of scandalous men and women would have difficulties explaining themselves even if they were covered in mouths.

"You two are quite meticulous." Suizi complimented.

"That’s because Jingting has taught us well. He mentioned during the morning meeting that regardless of who we catch, the men must be left, uh, exposed."

Yang Dazhi struggled to paraphrase the original, rather explicit instructions.

"Brother, what do we do now?"

"Find a horse cart and send them to the station." Yu Jingting had figured it out.

Li Youcai was not a scoundrel of those cornfields; he was merely meeting Lun Lamei for a clandestine rendezvous.

After Yu Jingting ruined Lamei’s marriage prospects with a single piss, Lun Lamei, tearfully turned back to Yang Village and didn’t dare to show her face during the day. She sought solace and consolation in the comfort of Li Youcai’s house in the dead of the night.

Li Youcai too, was holding onto a deep-seated resentment, a frustration he could not vent.

He was bearing the brunt of Jingting’s punishment these days, which led him to question his existence. He was feeling quite stifled.

With Lun Lamei presenting herself on a platter, he was all too eager to seize the opportunity for some catharsis.

The two of them, as usual, headed towards the small woods. Before they could shamelessly bring the sky down as their quilt and the earth as their mattress, they were "sealed" in a sack by the ambush arranged by Yu Jingting.

The rollercoaster of a plot made Suizi thoroughly thrilled.

Life is really full of surprises! The Smooth Noodle sounded really effective; one smooth leads to hundred smooths!

"Don’t take them to the station." Suizi spoke up.

Yu Jingting looked at her displeased. If the lass dared to go soft, he would carry her into the house and treat her to family law right now!

"Like this..." Suizi was whispering in his ear.

Yu Jingting raised an eyebrow. This lass was full of tricks indeed.

Suizi had figured it all out very clearly.

If both of them were tied up and taken to the station, being unmarried and not yet married to each other, at most they would receive some criticism and Li Youcai would be detained for a few days, and he wouldn’t be able to work either.

That would be contrary to Suizi’s original intention of sending him in for a long-term prison meal.

Strike the snake at seven inches, one move to subdue the enemy. The current situation is not enough to put Li Youcai in completely. Suizi has a better way to torment him.

Wang Cuihua came out in a cotton jacket and saw that her son was leading a bear—it wasn’t a bear actually.

Upon closer look, it was Suizi.

"Why are you bundling Suizi up like this, where are you going in the middle of the night?"

In addition to Suizi’s small floral cotton jacket, Yu Jingting added a thick cotton coat on her and a turned-up fur hat. From a distance, she really looked like a bear entering the village.

"Going to the village chief’s house to watch the fun. Li Youcai and Lun Lamei were blocked in the small woods."

"Oh my! I must check this out - you two go and get a good seat in the front row first, I will be there after I change my clothes."

Wang Cuihua was thrilled.

Everyone in the Yu family protects the calf. Lun Lamei almost took Wang Cuihua’s grandson, Xiaosun, away. This grievance hadn’t been vented yet. How could she miss this chance to kick them when they were down?

"Mom, you take Jiaojiao with you. We are all out anyway. Don’t leave Jiaojiao at home alone. It’s not safe." Suizi kindly reminded.

The lights were bright at the village chief’s house.

Yang Village really had its share of events in recent days, with constant dramatic episodes of all sizes.

The village chief had just roasted a potato, thinking that he would drink a little wine to warm up his body and then go to sleep.

These days, the village chief had a bit of mental shadow about roasting potatoes.

He always felt that every time he roasted a potato, Yu Jingting would jump out to ask him to do something, which made the chief dare not roast during the day. He secretly worked on it at night. Looking at the soot-stained iron pot, he smiled contentedly.

It’s so late, will the idler from the Yu family come to find him?

He poured himself a small cup of liquor with satisfaction.

"Chief! There’s been an incident!"

The village chief’s hand trembled, and the valuable Erguotou liquor spilled on the Kang table.

Yang brothers, each holding a sack, were making a racket outside the gate.

The village chief came out to open the door, shocked by the scene.

JNot two minutes later, Chen Kaide and Wang Fenfang came over. The two of them had just laid down when someone was knocking on their door. They woke up all dazed.

"We brothers were watching the moon in the small woods, and saw some people acting suspiciously there, so we tied them up and brought them here." Yang Dazhi said as instructed by Suizi.

Lines of black appeared on the village chief’s forehead.

It’s cloudy tonight, so why watch the moon on earth?

"Why did you bring them to us? In the middle of the night, let us sleep!" Wang Fenfang grumbled with an unhappy face.

She’d been having really bad luck recently and was in a bad mood.

The Yang brothers opened the sack, revealing the "sealed" man and woman inside.

Suizi also hurried over. She stretched her neck to see Li Youcai. She was almost there! ~

Yu Jingting covered her eyes with his hand.

She was pregnant and couldn’t see just anything!
