Chapter 576: Chapter 576: Are You Hurting Yourself? (Thanks to Rifle Bullet+1 for the update)

The first thing that popped into Yu Jingting’s mind was Shen Liangyin.

He thought to himself, this woman was so frustrated by Suizi’s personal "Fashion Show" that she almost lost her shape. Under Suizi’s fierce attack, she barely had any power to fight back. Could she have retaliated maliciously and used Jin Qu to counter-attack Suizi?

This thought practically jumped into Yu Jingting’s mind and he immediately informed Liao Yong of this information.

Liao Yong followed the clue immediately and promised to notify Yu Jingting as soon as he had results.

Mr. Yu Ding, after hearing Suizi’s suggestion that day, left in high spirits and had not returned. However, he sent word via messenger advising Yu Shuisheng to take the family on a trip to D City for Labor Day.

That weekend, Suizi took the whole family out for a picnic and to barbecue.

They had enjoyed the street food stalls with Yu Jingting another day so much that they decided to prepare a grill, buy their own lamb, and take it to the countryside for a barbecue.

It was also the season for wild vegetables, men were in charge of starting the fire and grilling meat, women foraged for wild vegetables using plastic bags while the three children played on the picnic blanket.

Wang Cuihua was in an incredibly good mood these days, radiant and beaming. She chatted with Suizi about gossip while foraging for wild vegetables.

"A few days ago, someone from the old hometown came and said that the old Yu lady had run off to D City."

"Huh?!" Suizi exclaimed, "That old lady can’t walk without support, and yet she can travel that far?"

"She couldn’t herself, but she’s not without others who can walk, right? Those people from the old Yu Family, in order to get money, would not only travel to another city but given the opportunity, they could even go as far as the moon. Ah, speaking of the moon, when can we make it there ourselves? Once the Americans landed, they came back showing off bits of moon rocks as if it were something remarkable."

Old Yu Family has been watching news lately. Since Suizi has been coaching Yu Jingting for his exams, she pays particular attention to current events. This has made Wang Cuihua start to understand national affairs, causing her to become a bit patriotic.

"It will be soon, we must have faith in our scientists. After a few generations of effort, it won’t be long before we not only reach the sky but also join the ranks of the space powers." Teacher Xiaochen always maintained a high level of awareness, regardless of the situation.

After discussing the topic of space exploration for a while, the two switched from discussing the heavens to earthly matters, focusing on the quirky Wang Family.

"Old Yu Lady insists on having Yu Shuilin provide for her in her old age. She also wants Yu Shuilin to find jobs for her two sons."

"Would Yu Shuilin agree to this?" Suizi remembered that the whole family was cast from the same mold- money was everything to them.

"Of course not. He tried to throw them out, but the very next day he had to go down to the big carriage shop and bring them back."

The big carriage shop was the poorest inn in the north with several people huddled on one kang bed- cheap and shabby.

"Apparently, someone suggested to Old Yu Lady to cause a scene with the higher-ups. As long as Yu Shuilin refused to support her, they would make him lose his job. And so, she’s gone so far as to find the assistant mayor."

Suizi gasped. Old Yu Family could go that far?

"Who gave her that idea?"

"Who else could it be but our resident mischief-maker, Tiegen?"

Suizi’s mouth fell open, and right in front of her a skewer of fragrant lamb appeared.

"Try it, how does it taste?" Standing behind Suizi, Yu Jingting offered his mother and Suizi the fruits of his hard work.

Suizi took a bite. Mmm, delicious~

"When did you go to D City? I handle everything and I wasn’t aware." Suizi noticed he was extremely busy these days.

He works during the day, comes back to study at night, and occasionally has his tofu-eating sessions in the middle of the night. In short, he’s a time management guru.

"No matter how busy I am, I can’t overlook doing good deeds. I, Yu Jingting, always do good deeds anonymously! Whether there’s ample opportunity or not, I find a way to go and help. Now, I’ve been fooled by you to focus on studies, but I have connections. I sent Boss Yang to D City, expenses paid by the public funds, to guide my mother full time in protecting her rights. This generous heart of mine——"

"It’s puffing smoke again," Wang Cuihua said.

Suizi’s eye twitched, one-to-one guidance... Grandma was right, this guy is really puffing smoke.

Although the method was a bit too much, the effect was immediate and excellent.

To prevent the situation from escalating and risking losing his job, Yu Shuilin had to send someone to bring Old Yu Lady back home. His original plan was to mistreat them a bit and embarrass them until they left on their own.

"I have a good habit - when I help someone, I help them thoroughly. After all, I have called her grandma for many years, I ought to do my part, right?"

"What else have you done?"

"I asked Boss Yang to contact the local Newspaper Agency and dedicate half of a social section to convey this story of long-lost kinship. At the same time, praising how Yu Shuilin never abandons the elderly."

"...Isn’t this my old move?" Suizi noticed that it sounded familiar.

"Does it matter whose method it is, as long as it works?"

Without Yu Jingting stirring things up, Yu Shuilin could have hired someone to beat up the people from Old Yu Family, making them miserable and nauseous, and eventually forcing them to leave.

But now that it’s been printed in the newspaper, that’s a different story.

Everyone in society knows about it now, and with so many eyes watching, if he dares to disown them, the public would drown him with harsh words.

"Look, I even brought the newspaper." Yu Jingting pulled out a wrinkled half-sheet of newspaper from his back pocket.

The other half was gone, used for getting the charcoal grill started; not a scrap wasted.

"Well, look at this picture. It seems Yu Shuilin is forcing a smile here, it almost resembles crying." Suizi looked at the newspaper, laughing her head off.

You must never cross Yu Jingting. Once he becomes spiteful, he provides full-stack services that are thoroughly effective.

"The rest depends on whether the old man has the guts or not, if he can act according to your advice, it won’t be difficult to ditch Yu Shuilin. Of course, we aren’t unreasonable. Snatching someone’s rich grandfather and leaving them with an old, disabled grandmother, does that sound like us? We have to compensate."

"How did you compensate them? Did you make the newspaper write an essay again?"

"We can’t keep using the same trick, you taught me, right? A good leader always knows how to draw a big picture for their subordinates."

Suizi coughed twice. Indeed, she did have a profound influence on Yu Jingting in terms of these Machiavellian tactics. This guy learned quickly and exceeded the teacher, becoming incredibly cunning.

"So, what big picture did you draw for Yu Shuilin?"

"I had someone ’accidentally’ put a treasure map in Old Yu Lady’s luggage. If she’s smart she can use it to manipulate her unfilial sons all her life."

Suizi’s mouth formed an O. Was this guy developing a conscience?

"The treasure map depicts the place where we found the gold coins. To demonstrate sincerity, I even buried a jar there that’s full of gold."

"Are you making up stories now? All our gold is in Dad’s and Suizi’s possession— Tiegen, you little rascal, are you hiding money?!" Wang Cuihua frowned and demanded answers.

Keeping private money in this family is an unforgivable sin!

"Why would I need to hide them? Aren’t they naturally given by my parents?"

"What do you mean by naturally? Ah, this skewer is so delicious." Wang Cuihua was enjoying her food until she realized what he meant.

"God! Tiegen! You’re shameless! Talking about such things while eating, disgusting!"

Suizi too was disgusted. She strongly suspected that this guy purposely chose this moment to mention it!
