Chapter 562: Chapter 562: Great Award for Uncivilized Human Behavior

On the Tomb Sweeping Festival, the whole family used the excuse of visiting the cemetery to return to their village for spring outing.

By fortune, apricot blossoms had just started to bloom and a light sprinkle of snow the night before lent a unique charm to the scenery.

"Damn, it’s beautiful." As Yu Jingting drove a tractor through the apricot grove, he breathed a sigh of admiration. He promptly pulled over and directed everyone to get off for photos.

"See, these are the remarks of those who don’t study well. All they can remark about is vegetation," Suizi cheerfully displayed the intellectual’s cultivation to the children. "The flowers are blooming beautifully, taking all the charms of spring."

"Both high-sounding and corny descriptions mean the same thing, don’t they? Everyone, get ready! I will take a photo. Jiaojiao, climb up the tree. Mom, strike a pose by a branch full of flowers!"

Yu Jingting showed everyone what uncivilized tourists are, doing everything he could think of that was inappropriate, while Suizi was powerless to stop him. She turned a blind eye, thinking it was a wild grove and there shouldn’t be anyone to nag about it.

"Stomp on the flowers and make them fall, and then mom, you can lie on them——"

"No way!" Suizi interrupted. The indecorous suggestions were becoming unbearable!

Thanks to Suizi, the environmentalist, the uncivilized posing plan was abandoned. Instead, Mrs. Wang Cuihua picked up her child and struck various poses.

Suizi had a brilliant idea and handed her scarf to her mother-in-law. Once Wang Cuihua got the scarf, she was inspired and immediately posed for photos in the style of older people of later generations, pleased with herself.

It seemed that some things in human genes were universal. Suizi was filled with joy that transcended time and space, laughing until she was out of breath.

"Back in the village, I never realized how beautiful the scenery was. Ever since we’ve moved to the city, I often think about going to the forest to pick mushrooms, reminiscing about the apricot blossoms in spring and the stream fish in summer." said Wang Cuihua.

"Once our basic survival needs are met, we have the means to appreciate the beauty of nature in spring flowers and autumn moon. It goes to show that our life is better now," Suizi replied with a high emotional quotient.

"What she means is, you’re just well—" Jingting attempted to rephrase Suizi’s statement but was instantly interrupted by a harsh poke from her, causing the children to giggle unceasingly.

They spent a little extra time on the road, and it was already noon by the time they returned to their village.

In the countryside, we usually pay respects to our ancestors before noon. The Yu family was not genuinely interested in paying respects to their ancestors, they were merely looking for an excuse to stroll around and relax. Hence, they weren’t bothered by the customs.

Just as they approached the Yu Family’s ancestral tomb, an intense argument broke out, and it appeared as if a fight was about to start.

Around them, the normally lazy Jingting perked up at the sound of a quarrel.

Spotting his sudden enthusiasm, Suizi saw him dash towards the scene lickety-split.

"What’s going on up there? How can there be a fight in a cemetery?" Wang Cuihua curiously craned her neck, eager to see which family was behind all this commotion.

"Looks like it’s the Shuigou’s?" Suizi pointed out.

Both Shuigou and his son were present, being chased and attacked by two men—one old, one young. Suizi watched incredulously as a middle-aged man kicked Shuigou, knocking him to the ground.

Members of the Yu family were being ruthlessly beaten down by others.

Dizzy from the blows, Shuigou caught sight of Jingting rushing towards them.

An excited Shuigou strained to yell:

"Tiegen! Come help me!"

Panic-stricken, Tiegen sprinted forward, only to abruptly climb up a tree.

Shuigou and his son left in shock: ???

Sitting high above on a tree branch with an excellent view, Jingting pulled out his camera and gleefully began to snap pictures.

He was quite content with the photos he took. Indeed, he was a true spirit photographer. These photos would come in handy to cheer himself up, especially when he would look at the cowardly faces of Shuigou and his son.

Packing away his camera, he pulled out a rice ball from his pocket to snack on—while still sitting high up the tree.

Specifically prepared by Suizi for this trip, the rice ball was a special offering for the tomb visit, stuffed with delicious fillings.

"Go on fighting, don’t stop. Pretend I’m not here. I’m just enjoying the show."

"What are you doing?" The middle-aged man stepping on Yu Shuigou asked rudely.

The young man holding back Yu Shuigou’s eldest son brightened when he saw Yu Jingting.

"Ain’t you big brother Jingting? I am Yu Tieshan, Caifu’s dad!"

Yu Jingting waved his hand as a form of greeting.

Yu Tieshan turned his head towards the fierce-looking middle-aged man and said, "Dad, this is our family’s savior. He saved your grandson."

"Oh, then go hide in the tree, don’t get in our way. I won’t beat him." The middle-aged man said dismissively.

Yu Jingting nibbled on his rice ball, squinting his eyes in amusement, "Well, isn’t he bold."

"Da, look at Tiegen, how improper it is to watch drama from a tree!" Wang Cuihua looked at her son sitting in the tree, at a loss for words.

Surely, this was something to infuriate people across ten villages.

"Shall I choose a tree for each of you women?" Yu Shuisheng was pleased with his son’s behavior. Indeed, he was his son; he knew exactly where to best enjoy the spectacle.

Suizi and the other women shook their heads collectively. They at least had basic humanitarian concern. Who could be as shameless as Tiegen?

"Fourth son! Save me! These madmen will beat me to death!" Yu Shuigou called out to Yu Jingting in desperation, but upon receiving no assistance, he shifted his attention to Yu Shuisheng instead.

Yu Shuisheng took the paper money from Wang Cuihua, bypassed the group of people locked in battle, and headed straight for the tomb. He scattered the paper money and lit it on fire.

With his hands clasped together, he chanted:

"Ancestors of the Yu family, look at your weak descendants. Tsk tsk."

"Oh dear, they are totally shameless." Wang Cuihua turned to Suizi and asked, "Aren’t these two going too far?"

Even though Yu Shuigou was not a good person, he was still family. Letting others beat him while these two didn’t lift a finger felt wrong in some way.

"Mom, Dad is avenging you, isn’t he?"

Suizi saw through everything.

The vindictive nature of the father and son was passed down through the generations, they were identical.

The old family members of the Yu clan had bullied Wang Cuihua and her sisters during the ten years Yu Shuisheng was not home. They were as good as enemies in Yu Shuisheng’s eyes.

Asking this father and son duo to save Yu Shuigou was virtually impossible.

Seeing Yu Shuisheng’s indifference, Yu Shuilin and his son burst out laughing. They continued kicking and cursing at Yu Shuigou and his son, creating chaos.

"It seems your branch of the family isn’t united. You’re all cowards, afraid of death. What’s the point of chanting to the ancestors? Do you think they can jump out of the grave?" Yu Shuilin mocked Yu Shuisheng who was burning the paper money.

"Fourth son! You son of a bitch! You’re letting strangers beat me in front of our father’s and grandfather’s grave?" Yu Shuigou, by now, hated the father and son, who were just standing by, more than the people who were beating him up.

"Mom, do you think he’s gone mad? He doesn’t even know who to be mad at?" Although Jiaojiao didn’t climb the tree like her brother, she was still enjoying the show, asking Suizi when she didn’t understand.

"Remember this, some weak people dare not confront their oppressors. Instead, they harbor resentment towards those who could help but didn’t. You’ll meet many such people in the future. Sometimes, you can’t be too soft-hearted. Some people are not worth sympathizing with."

Hearing Suizi’s words, Yu Shuigou and his son were even more furious.

They cursed Yu Jingting’s family to the point of wishing them dead.

Watching the drama was bad enough, but having a woman criticize them was even worse.

"Oh, your family has such beautiful women? You two are quite capable, aren’t you?"

Yu Shuilin was drawn by Suizi’s voice, and when he saw the still-beautiful Wang Cuihua and Suizi, his eyes sparkled.
