Chapter 603: Chapter 603: I’m Just an Ordinary Person (Monthly Tickets 150+)

"Let us out! Yu Tiegen, I curse your ancestors!"

The cry of the two old ladies came from inside the sacks.

Through the gaps in the beer crates, they had already identified their abductor.

Yu Jingting kicked the sacks irritably: "Stop your yapping or I’ll throw you in the river!"

The sacks went silent, not daring to make another sound.

Yu Jingting picked a place under the blazing sun and tied the sacks to a pole. Even if they won’t get heatstroke, they would still be soaked in sweat.

He squatted down next to the sacks, smoking a cigarette and casually chatting with the two old ladies.

"One year, the first old lady lost a bag of potatoes, but magically the second old lady’s potato cellar somehow filled up... You two mustn’t fight. As sisters-in-law, you shouldn’t be falling out."

"Did you steal my potatoes?!" The first old lady’s sack shook.

"Another year, second uncle sneaked into first uncle’s house while he was out. Hey, first old lady, what on earth could you two have been talking about until midnight? Second old lady was visiting her family that night, wasn’t she?"

"Did you steal my man?!" The second old lady’s sack began shaking.

Yu Jingting cheerfully moved the two sacks closer, always glad to help. His wife often told him to do so, and he knew it well.

Then the two sacks started to crash into each other violently, along with a series of affectionate phrases about each other’s ancestors.

Yu Jingting saw a kid bouncing by, and beckoned him over.

"Come here, kiddo!"

"Uncle Jing, what’s up?" This kid lived in the vicinity and knew Yu Jingting.

"Have you got to pee?" Yu Jingting asked.

The kid eyed him suspiciously. How was he supposed to know since he hadn’t peed yet?

"If you pee on them for me, uncle will give you some candies."

Once the kid saw the candy, he nodded immediately. Even if his pee wasn’t yellow, it would be for the candy. He understood eating candy!

The sacks let out a scream as the warm liquid quickly seeped in, but they had nowhere to hide.

"Spray it evenly - cover both sides. Hey, well done, kiddo! You’ve got lots of pee, here, have an extra candy!"

Following Yu Jingting’s instructions, the kid sprinkled both sacks, fertilizing them and dousing their fire.

Once done, he took the candy and bounced away.

Yu Jingting watched the two sacks full of mortifying stories and curses for each other. After finishing off his last cigarette, he crushed the butt under his foot.

Beating up these dimwits felt... quite meaningless.

"Yu Tiegen, don’t you have any morals?! You’ll get what’s coming to you!"

Yu Jingting stood up, kicked the sack hard. From the inside came a terrified wail - that shut them up.

"You two better learn to duck on rainy days and live a few more years. Don’t get struck by lightning, then a few years later--"

Just you watch with your own eyes, see how well my wife and I will be doing.

Yu Jingting had been wanting to say this for a long time, and even though he finally got the opportunity to say it, it just seemed a bit lame.

The two insignificant beings within the sacks couldn’t be awakened by any method, it dawned on Yu Jingting again today that the two were clearly not in the same world that he was living in.

His world was never within the Wang family compound nor was it amidst these gossipy housewives.

"618...," murmured Yu Jingting, recalling Suizi’s score, a gentle curve appeared on his lips without him even noticing.

His wife was indeed something!

Good thing, he didn’t let her down.

He knew his result would probably be good after taking the exam, but hearing the actual score gave him a concrete feeling.

He raised his hand and took a gentle sniff.

Suizi’s fragrance still lingered on his hand. Clasping his hand lightly was like catching a cloud from the sky.

Although the cloud in the sky was far away, she was right next to him, within his reach... and was quite soft.

What she gave him was never elusive. With her seemingly gentle hands, she always guided him every step to take him where he supposed to be.

Even if those places were somewhere he never thought he would go, he thought he would not like it. But having it made him realize he wasn’t resistant to it at all.

He was even a bit excited about it...

Yu Jingting blinked. Damn it, there must be sand in his eyes.

Suizi had become the pride of D City. Her legendary experience with Yu Jingting quickly spread in a short time.

Regardless of the era, exam champions were always popular and adulated by the masses.

Suizi’s personal history was quickly brought to light. People discovered that she was not only the provincial topper this time around, but she also previously topped the key middle-school exams, always ranking first in her major subjects.

After graduating, she returned home, got married, had two children, casually took the university exams while working, and effortlessly became the top scorer.

The most impressive thing was that not only did she herself top the exam, she also brought her husband along to write the exam, and his score was surprisingly not low!

When people inquired about Yu Jingting’s background, they were shocked. Rumor was that he was a troublemaker who suddenly turned over a new leaf after marrying.

He not only boldly helped others many times, making several appearances in newspapers, but also studied hard, finally making it to the top twenty in the province.

People had only heard the saying that a prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold, but like a ghost, the saying seemed to exist but no one has seen it happen.

This husband and wife really opened everyone’s eyes.

Their life story could be used to write a script for inspirational films.

Although the current exam champion didn’t receive the abundant prize money of later generations, the honor and admiration received were no less.

The chief editor of the newspaper, upon learning that Suizi was the top scorer, was so excited that he didn’t even have his meal. He directly rushed to Suizi’s house and vowed not to leave without conducting an interview.

The chief editor had paid Suizi sufficient royalties over the years to buy a fancy bicycle. He believed the connection from gifting such an expensive item should be enough reason to get an exclusive interview.

He knew Suizi didn’t like being in the limelight, so he was ready for a long-standing battle with her.

Unexpectedly, Suizi readily agreed to his interview which surprised him.

"Suizi, what happened to you? Why the sudden change? It’s not like you. I thought you only wrote the news and refused to be the news."

"You can interview me, but I want to decide the focus of the interview."

"No problem at all, as long as you agree to our interview."

"Alright, then let me share my husband’s secret to improve his scores quickly."

"No problem — Wait, what?! The chief editor finally realized something was amiss.

She circled back to talking about her husband?

Is this still... well, Suizi’s style? She keeps on praising her man without any restraint? The chief editor found it both funny and exasperating. She had never seen a woman so keen on praising her own man.

"Suizi, I want to interview you."

"I can share my husband’s methods for improving scores, help more students get good grades next year. After all, I’m just an ordinary exam taker, people won’t be interested in me."

"Hahaha..." The chief editor laughed awkwardly yet respectfully. Ordinary? How could Suizi say that without batting an eye?

How ordinary does one have to be to miss a perfect score by only two points?

She completely dusted the second highest by several tens of points. Her score even alarmed the exam board. A woman whose name is destined to become legendary says she’s ’ordinary’?

"May I ask, what do you aim for by writing so persistently about your husband?"

After asking this, seeing Suizi’s expression, the chief editor suddenly got a feeling that she shouldn’t have asked that.
