Chapter 570: Chapter 570: Just This Much Money for Two People Beating and Tying up One

"Evildoers will not end well, and Rome wasn’t built in a day."

These two sentences are vividly embodied in the Yu family.

Suizi couldn’t believe how quickly her mother-in-law had accepted this new reality, and she was even thrilled by it.

"I told you, your father isn’t like Yu Shuiniu and Yu Shuigou. Your husband isn’t like the others either. They’re not like other members of our family, isn’t that right?"

Wang Cuihua felt as though a heavy stone that had long plagued her heart was suddenly lifted.

"I’ve long suspected these people. Glad to finally cut ties with them. We don’t need to associate anymore since we aren’t relatives. Saves me the agony of whether I should bring the old woman to live with us..."

Suizi felt her mother-in-law was too kind-hearted, carrying a tough exterior but a tender heart, a perfect description of her.

The old lady from the Yu family had bullied her severely in the past, but when she saw the old lady fall into trouble, she still thought about taking her in.

Today, if it weren’t for her father-in-law seeing through everything and resolving the issue in advance, they’d have had to deal with an annoying old woman back in the city, in addition to the local eggs that were gifted.

Suizi once again looked at her father-in-law with admiration. Father-in-law, you are indeed wise!

Yu Shuisheng nodded, my daughter-in-law, your assist today was also pretty good.

The father-in-law and daughter-in-law complimented each other in silence.

"If she’s not your biological mother, then who is? Know who held you incorrectly? So we can find her." Wang Cuihua asked.

"You’ll know the specifics soon. I ran out of time to roll out the homemade noodles and I didn’t bring the tools. How about I cook you some instant noodles?"

"Sister-in-law, I want to eat!" Jiaojiao raised her hand excitedly. Instant noodles were a novelty, which sister-in-law didn’t usually allow.

"You’re still growing, you can’t eat too much of this stuff. I can only give you half a bowl."

"I——" Bobo raised his hand, only to be ruthlessly pushed down by his mother.

"Don’t even think about it. It’s impossible."

"Me?" Luoluo pointed at her nose.

"You too."

For the two children, the grudges and grievances of adults might not be as important as a bowl of instant noodles. The joys and sorrows of humans differ, and the gap in intelligence is even greater.

The maneuver Yu Shuisheng made was clear to Suizi and her husband, but the old lady and others were oblivious.

Yu Jingting quickly brought back the old lady and others. Suizi could guess from the time that he must have hurried back at a high speed.

This was what she emphasized, to avoid "procrastination leading to more issues".

They couldn’t let the old lady and others react. They had to take advantage of their anger and provoke them to reveal the truth.

Fortunately, the people of the old Yu family were all dim-witted, with the addition of the loose-lipped Yu Jingting, who certainly hasn’t stopped fueling the fire on the way. Therefore, the old lady was still in the dark when she returned.

She was still acting high and mighty.

She entered the house, waving the cloth bag in her hand.

"See? The evidence is in my hand! I want to see who dares to say that I’m confused now!"

At this moment, Yu Shuigou was still dazed, seemingly not understanding why things had turned out this way, vaguely feeling something was off, but unable to articulate it.

It was Yu Shuigou’s eldest son, who had been pondering along the way, who moved a step forward and whispered into the old lady’s ear:

"Grandma, if you prove that Uncle Four isn’t your biological son, won’t he refuse to support you even more?"

"He dares! Blood is thicker than water, even if he wants to cut off ties with me, he has to pay me back for all the years I’ve raised him!" The old lady’s voice was exceptionally loud, everyone in the room heard it clearly.

Suizi murmurs to herself, this old lady is so stupid that she can’t understand such a simple logic and still thinks she’s smart.

But on second thought, it seemed that the more remote the place, the easier it was to breed bigoted people like the old lady. Guarding their own patch of sky, they always thought they were so smart that they could understand all the truths of the universe, with extraordinary self-confidence, and they would not accept rebuttals.

This was also why she insisted that her family should read more. The more books one reads, the more experiences one has, the less dogmatic one’s view of the world is. There are always unlimited possibilities in this world, and one’s opinion is not always correct.

"See? This pair of pants, this is the evidence! Look, the fabric is pretty unique, isn’t it?" The old lady took out a pair of small pants from the cloth bag.

This pair of small pants might even be too small for Bobo to wear, and should belong to a newborn baby.

The fabric that the old lady called "very unique" didn’t seem remarkable at a glance: light gray material, one side smooth, one side rough, soft to the touch.

Suizi recognized at a glance that it was raw crepe satin, a kind of silk, mostly used to make skirts or scarves, and it was high-quality fabric.

It was rare to see such a good thing in the countryside, which the old lady had kept as a treasure.

"Ah...." Yu Ding tremblingly took the pants, looking it over anxiously, as if searching for something.

The old lady didn’t realize the stupidity of her action and was still showing off.

"You ungrateful bastard, my husband brought you back to our house, if it wasn’t for us, you would’ve starved to death. Now, you must repay our nurture, and return all the money I spent on raising you!"

"He isn’t the bastard..." Yu Ding’s tears fell like rain. He found it!

This little pair of pants had a small flower embroidered with the same color thread on the left leg. He recognized it, this was his deceased wife’s stitching style.

His wife liked to embroider some marks on clothes, saying that when clothes were hung outside, they would be easy to distinguish in case someone tried to steal them.

And this material of the pants, he also remembered. His wife had an identical skirt made from this material. This was clearly made from the fabric left over from making the skirt. When this pair of small pants was made, he was still at home, he didn’t leave!

So, it meant that Yu Shuisheng was his— Yu Ding’s old tears welled up. Suddenly he understood why his dreams were filled with his deceased wife. It was her guiding him from the underworld to find his son!

"Who uses the word bastard nowadays? Just because of this little bastard, my own son has gone missing. Yu Shuisheng, your life is mine, and you owe me my son’s life. These two lives, you have to give me five thousand...no, eight thousand dollars!"

The old lady of the Yu family held up one hand, unable to count the fingers with the monstrous sum of eight thousand in mind.

Yu Shuigou and his son had been confused, but when they heard the mention of money, they instantly perked up, straightened their backs, and gestured along with the old lady.

Eight thousand, not a cent less!

Suizi felt sorry for her father-in-law. Ah, the illustrious Four Master is only worth eight thousand?

Yu Jingting added for emphasis, "Eight thousand, for two lives."

Yu Tieshan, who had been observing the scene, nodded when he heard this.

"Yeah, tying up two adults together for eight thousand seems a bit expensive. When my son was kidnapped, he was only sold for a hundred and fifty."

Yu Jingting patted him with a smile: "My father’s life is worth seven thousand nine hundred and fifty, and your father’s life is worth fifty. Add them together, that’s exactly eight thousand."

"Beat it!" Yu Tieshan, the fourth master, kicked his son, scolding him for valuing his father’s life so cheaply. He deserved a lesson.

"Wait, wait, why is my dad involved?" Yu Tieshan was confused.
