Chapter 545: A Prediction Reveals a Complicated Matter

Chapter 545: Chapter 545: A Prediction Reveals a Complicated Matter

After giving her daughter a good scolding, Chen Lijun happily returned to Beijing.

Suizi bathed the children in the evening, even though the room was heated, she still turned on two electric heaters.

Using electric heaters was seen as stealing electricity, and people were on the lookout for it.

At that time, electricity was collectively paid for and everyone was charged a fixed amount. Individual meters weren’t used and the use of high-power appliances was prohibited.

Wang Cuihua sat on the stool, helping Suizi take care of the two tykes. Seeing the snowfall outside, she couldn’t help but express her thoughts.

"Turning on the electric heaters while it’s snowing, won’t that be too ostentatious? I’ve heard that the electricity inspectors are coming today."

Usually, electricity theft inspections took place during snowfall. The warmth from the power cables entering the house would melt the fallen snow. Any house with bare cables was certainly stealing electricity.

"They won’t make it to our door. They’ll automatically turn away when they reach our house."

Suizi didn’t think anyone dared to examine the electricity use in the residential area of the Factory Director’s home at the beer factory.

"Thoroughly wash the folds of this chubby baby. Look at him, he’s so chubby that he’s starting to form folds." Yu Jingting sat at the entrance gnawing on a spring onion, directing them.

"Make sure you clean all those folds, otherwise they might get moldy."

Wang Cuihua was annoyed. She splashed him with a faceful of water.

"What does ’so chubby that he’s starting to form folds’ mean?! What has Bobo become according to your speech?"

Suizi nodded in approval. Well done, Mom!

"Bobo is just slightly chubby from mother’s milk, isn’t that how all children look?"

"Look at his little elbows and those two fat legs. Hahaha." Yu Jingting mercilessly made fun of his son.

As Bobo lay in the large basin, he let out a sigh and looked at his clueless father with a hint of pity.

Suizi even felt that her son’s little expression contained a touch of maturity, as if he had seen through everything.

The next second, Yu Jingting, who was gnawing on the spring onion, was hit by his mother. His spring onion was also confiscated, depriving him of his right to eat it!

"Get out of here. Go bathe your son. I’ve never seen a father who belittles his son so much! He doesn’t mind you being tall and awkward like a silly power pole, yet you find him too fat?"

When Yu Shuisheng came out, it was Wang Cuihua who was leaning against the door gnawing on the spring onions and Yu Jingting was bathing his fatty son.

"Are you afraid of contracting foot-and-mouth disease by eating the spring onion that this little guy has gnawed on?" Yu Shuisheng asked.

"No problem, I broke off the part he nibbled."

"Hey! What kind of parents are so disgusted with their own son?!" Yu Jingting yelled indignantly.

Suizi couldn’t help but grin.

"You were just belittling your own son too, is that right, my dear maiden?"

Luoluo, who was submerged in the basin, nodded. A white towel rested on her little head.

Hearing her mom call her name, whether she understood or not, she bobbed her little head like a baby chick pecking at rice.

Bobo, who was referred to as fatty by his father, also took the opportunity to kick the water with his chubby little legs, splashing Yu Jingting all over his face. The little fatty who accomplished all this still kept his cool, hiding his capabilities.

And so, the accomplishment where only one person in the whole family got wet came to be.

Suizi spent the whole day pondering about how to tell Yu Jingting that he would soon have a "beauty" as his subordinate.

After much thought, she decided to let Yu Jingting discover this "surprise" by himself.

Bathing could be quite exhausting for babies, and they slept better after a bath.

The two babies comfortably fell asleep after the bath.

Tomorrow was the 6th, both Suizi and Yu Jingting were back to work. Suizi went to the West Room and saw her in-laws playing a card game called "tractor".

It was a simple game that relied on luck.

Of course, for a habitual cheater like Shuisheng, the "gambling skills" might need to be considered.

Suizi stood by Mom’s side watching, while Yu Jingting peeped from next to his Dad.

"Plum Blossom trump." Yu Shuisheng used a card to take all the other cards.

Suizi squinted. If she remembered correctly, this round, dad-in-law had already played this card. Does that mean he was cheating?!

Wang Cuihua, who didn’t keep a record of the cards played, didn’t notice any problem.

Suizi looked at Dad-in-law, boy, look how daringly he cheated, Yu Tiegen definitely got his thick skin from him!

"I don’t want to play anymore! You always win!" Annoyed at losing, Wang Cuihua upturned the small table and stomped off to the kitchen to quell her anger with a drink.

"You old man, you take it too seriously. What’s the fun in bullying my mother?" While Yu Jingting lowered his voice, his thumb and index finger were rubbing together.

Yu Shuisheng pulled out a ten yuan note from his pocket, which Yu Jingting quickly snatched and tucked into his own.

"My father wins all by skill, my dad’s so cool!"

Suizi looked disdainfully at this shameless father-son duo. She decided to confiscate Yu Tiegen’s illicit money later and use it for a delicious meal out with her mother-in-law.

Looking at the scattered cards on the bed, Suizi got an idea.

She collected the cards and took them to her room.

"Jingting, let me predict your future?"

Suizi proposed while arranging the cards.

Yu Jingting took a brief, uninterested glance.

"Isn’t this just the silly turtle formation? You think I’ve never seen it before?"

The turtle formation was a method of arranging cards, a solo pastime that many people in the northeast played.

"In others’ hands, it’s a silly turtle, but in my hands, it’s fortune-telling. Let me predict your fortune for tomorrow..." Suizi flipped over a card, revealing the seven of hearts.

"You’ll meet someone tomorrow and this person will bring a great shock to your life and potentially anger you. The number 7 represents ’air’ and the red heart... well, you just interpret it yourself."

"How mystical." Yu Jingting didn’t believe in any of this. After all, he’d grown up watching his mother hoodwink people.

"Done. That’ll be 10 yuan for the prediction, please." Suizi held out her palm, her smile beaming.

Yu Jingting clutched his pocket and stepped back.

"Half a month’s salary for a prediction? Would the price regulators agree with your pricing?"

"You go report me to the price regulators. Come on, hand it over!" Suizi launched herself at him, grabbing at his neck with one hand and pulling at his pocket with the other.

Yu Jingting silently mouthed curses.

"What are you saying?" Suizi asked sweetly. In her imagined world, Yu Jingting was vanquished by her Dragon Tail Sweep technique, but in reality, she only managed to light a fire under him.

Yu Jingting responded by pinning Suizi to the door.

The young couple found happiness, one in newfound wealth, and the other in newfound love. It was a win-win.

The next day, Yu Jingting came to the factory in high spirits, whistling and strutting as if he owned the place.

His mind was preoccupied with the happenings of the previous night. Although his privy cash was confiscated by his wife, it was totally worth it...

"Factory Director!"

The factory’s personnel supervisor ran over.

"A person from the top is here, waiting in the reception room."

"I’m on my way."

Seeing Yu Jingting’s joyful face, the supervisor dared to add:

"They said...a vice-director has been reassigned to our factory."

"Oh, let them." Yu Jingting knew about this. The vice-director’s position in the factory had been vacant for a while, so it was no surprise they were sending someone.

"The person who was transferred over was...never mind, you’ll know when you see them." the supervisor seemed hesitant as he stopped mid-sentence.
