I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 565: Double Standards Aren’t Necessarily a Bad Thing

Chapter 565: Chapter 565: Double Standards Aren’t Necessarily a Bad Thing

Suizi watched the two children clinging to their great-grandfather and marveled at the incredible bond of blood. She thought, perhaps this was destiny.

The term "great-grandfather" is a local dialect term for great-grandparents. Considering the generation hierarchy, it’s a fitting title.

"Would you like to rest at our place for a while? We don’t live here regularly so it’s a bit rough, but it’s okay for a short rest." Suizi took the initiative to speak, hoping to break the awkward atmosphere.

"I wouldn’t be caught dead in your shabby place." Once Yu Shuilin saw it was Suizi who spoke up, he snorted sneeringly, "Your lot has no manners, not only is she a youngster, she’s also an outsider, reigning over the conversation?"

"Got an opinion? You sure have a lot to say." Shuisheng took out a cigarette, handed it to the old man, "We only have simple food and drink, would you like to try it?"

The head of the family spoke up, increasing Suizi’s standing.

The elderly Yu was willing to go, he even disregarded his cane while still holding onto the two children.

"Shuilin, you go back first. Tieshan, you stay with me."

Yu Shuilin is thoroughly against this.

"Dad, this family behaves like savages, why would you go there? What if they hurt you or something--"

"Out of my sight! Go peddle your straws!"

Shuilin’s face turned to an iron blue hue. As he turned to leave, he could hear a chorus of laughter from the ’savages’.

On the way back, with the children acting as a buffer, the conversation gradually picked up.

Wang Cuihua asked, "For no reason at all, how did you guys end up fighting?"

"Well that’s a long story..."

Without his father’s support, Yu Tieshan acted like a docile giant cat in the presence of Shuisheng and his son, not daring to straighten his back.

The three generations of the Yu family, had appeared at the ancestral tomb, all due to a dream of the elder.

The day before Tomb Sweeping Festival, the elderly Yu had dreamed about his deceased wife.

She insisted that he should return to the Wang Family on the day of Tomb Sweeping Festival.

"My wife who died many years ago came to me in a dream, told me to take my son, just like you’ve seen, that useless thing got into a fight at the drop of a hat."

"Ah..." Suizi was spooked.

Jingting comforted Suizi by hugging her, whispering, "Don’t be scared, it won’t affect us, stay close to me, my vitality is strong."

Suizi drop any pretense of modesty and clung to Jingting’s hand, constantly glancing around, she was ready to flee at the sight of any ’thing’.

On Tomb Sweeping Day, near the cemetery, who wouldn’t be scared of hearing such supernatural talk?

Shuisheng chuckled while glancing at the couple, "Tiegen, your wife is quite scared."

"Oh, ho, why don’t you look at who caused all this?" Jingting stood up for his wife.

Shuisheng grimaced but didn’t retort because the incident was indeed caused by him.

Everyone knew the inside story so they understood immediately the mystic undertones to the elderly’s words. Others looked confused, the trio seemed to be speaking in code that no one else understood.

"What are you guys talking about?" Wang Cuihua asked.

"We’re discussing—your grandma seems to have some spiritual abilities." Jingting told the elder.

"Oh, my late wife studied I Ching."

"Dear God, the mysteries of the universe lie in metaphysics are." Suizi was once again filled with goosebumps, subconsciously looking at her mother-in-law, she decided to encourage her mother-in-law to study I Ching. It was useful after all!

"So how did you end up fighting with Shuigou’s family?" Jingting changed the subject, knowing that his wife could be scared to death if they continued talking about this.

"Actually, that ancestral tomb not only belongs to Yu Yi’s family but also my grandfather. We were burning paper offerings, half way through the process, my grandfather went to the toilet and then Shuigou’s family showed up," Tieshan replied.

Shuigou’s family is notorious for playing bully at home, just like Tieshan and his father.

Seeing bunch of strangers at their ancestral tomb offering papers without asking, they started swearing.

Initially, Tieshan was patient and explained that this was their family’s tomb as well, and they might be related.

The moment he said that, Shuigou’s family lost it.

They came up with a bunch of absurd accusations. Accusing them of pretending to be relatives to conduct disruptions, and ruining their family’s Feng Shui. They even said that if they were related, they’re the bad relatives from back then who dug up the gold coins...

"What gold coins? It’s utter nonsense! Who knows if these things exist or not? We certainly haven’t seen them!" Tieshan was furious about the gold coins.

If there were really gold coins, he would have dug them out a long time ago. Why would he need to keep flattering his grandfather every day?

Suizi started to feel insecure again. Her hands, holding onto Jingting’s, began to cool. Her wide eyes darted around. Gold coins, ahem, were they talking about the jar she kept at home?

"And then the pair of them, just like mad dogs, started extorting us. They said we had to pay them or they would stomp out our offerings—do you hear this, is this something a human would say?"

No wonder when Suizi arrived, the Shuigou brothers were being beaten on the ground.

"Hmm, from the sound of it, those two deserved every punch they got, it’s fully warranted." Jingting spoke, Tieshan nodded vigorously in agreement.

"Of course, they deserved it. It’s your dad’s foul mouth that led to this conflict, ensuring everyone got their share of punches," Jingting continued.

Tieshan gritted his teeth, the one he most wanted to punch was this man, if he could, that is.

The Yu family hadn’t been back for a while, the house had no dust on it. The last time Wang Cuihua returned, she asked a neighbor to look after the house. Someone came regular to check on it.

After lighting the stove, Suizi and her mother-in-law took out the food they had brought back from the tractor. It was all ready to be cooked, just needed a stir in the pot and it was ready for the table.

Yu Ding sat by the heater, two little radishes, whom seemed to have taken a liking to him, played around him, now pulling his beard and now tugging his hair. Suizi couldn’t stop them.

"Let them play, it’s normal for kids to be playful—Look at these children, which one is so powerful? My Caifu was beaten to the point of sleep-talking when he arrived home."

"Um, what did he say?" Suizi asked.

"Stop beating me, I won’t steal anymore."

"Cough." Suizi was a bit embarrassed, "Our two kids, one is protective over his food and the other over his things, it’s inevitable for conflicts to arise among kids."

"Actually, it’s Jin Wa’s fault. He’s just like a bandit, had he not touched my child’s things, my maiden’s son wouldn’t have hit him." Jingting argued.

Upon hearing this, Yu Ding realises the two children had a fight?

It’s understandable for the boy, but the girl is also this fierce?

He picked up Luoluo, who burst into sweet laughter at once, appearing cute and soft. Yu Ding found it difficult to reconcile the violent child who gave his great-grandson nightmares with this adorable little girl in front of him.

His thoughts were interrupted by an air kiss from Luoluo. Yu Ding pronounced, "Being energetic is good for children; being able to fight is promising."

"??? Granddad, you didn’t sing this tune when you were at home." Tieshan was taken aback by his words.
