Chapter 605: Chapter 605: Embarking on a New Journey

Suizi and Yu Jingting applied to the same university. Suizi had chosen Economic Management Engineering as a major for Yu Jingting. Two years later, the economic management institution was established, and its first principal was a bigwig. It was a perfect choice for Yu Jingting to join this batch.

Suizi herself chose accounting, which was a part of her profession. She and Yu Jingting were from the same institute and their scores were stable, leaving no worries about their applications.

Once the results were out, the next step was to move out.

Chen Lijun was stubborn with her younger brother, claiming that she was not happy at all. While she called Suizi, she took an aggressive tone.

Her attitude made Suizi hang up the phone. However, it was Yu Jingting who called back, made some jokes, then finally decided about the move out.

After Yu Jingting hung up, he saw Suizi sitting on the road, pouting and holding a bottle of pear juice, blowing the bottle and was quite impassioned. That amused Yu Jingting.

"If you’re really mad, why not drink some beer? Why on earth are you drinking pear juice?"

"I am angry because I will see her a hundred times more often. My blood pressure goes up just thinking about her. Did you hear what she said? Was that even human speech?"

Suizi began to mimic Lijun’s tone, "This year’s exam was a bit easy, you both like blind cats that caught dead rats—I spit!"

So indignant, she took the bottle and drank with audacity.

"You have heard worse things and you weren’t mad. But why are you so upset with your mother’s words?"

Suizi was drinking so fast that she choked.

The carbonated drink seeped into her nose, resulting in a nasty coughing fit. Her eyes watered from it.

"Can anyone be compared with her? I can ignore others but can I do the same with her? Is it so hard for her to praise me for once?"

"Well, she’s just like that. But I have some inside information from Uncle, do you want to hear it?"

"Huh, like I want to listen to that old woman’s chatter—what bad things has she been saying about me behind my back?" While Suizi was grumbling, her ears perked up to listen.

Seeing Suizi pretending not to care but actually caring, Yu Jingling found it funny. But he didn’t dare to show it, fearing that this would cause her annoyance to be redirected towards him.

"My mother has selected a four-bedroom house for us that’s close to the university. It’s just us living there. Uncle said that in order to find this house, she had been visiting multiple houses every day during her lunch break, under the scorching sun. She even used all of her private savings, seemed to have squeezed quite a sum of money from Uncle Fan too, and even set up a grape trellis in the courtyard—ah, she must have seen your picture book, she knows that you like it."

"Huh?!"

Upon hearing the first half of his words, Suizi was slightly moved, but she sensed that something was off after hearing the later parts.

"Yes, the picture book that you hide under your bed. There are a lot of pictures based on that scene, you folks of the culture circle..."

Having the conversation steered off the track, Suizi punched him a few times. But, she didn’t feel so stuffy anymore.

"Not only did she put all her effort into finding a house for us, but she has also been boasting about us everywhere. Uncle said he overheard her speaking to her friends on the phone, she was saying—what a nuisance, my maiden is rebellious. She had to drag me into applying for the university despite having the option of becoming a principal. She applied for a small unknown university—"

Then, she "accidentally" revealed the name of the university.

Her friend was so angry that she immediately hung up the phone.

She didn’t contact her for several days.

Chen Lijun complained about her ’nuisance’ daughter to all of her friends.

Chen Lijun who hadn’t cared much about socializing in the past, had recently been enthusiastically participating in gatherings. She was not only attending her own circles’ gatherings but also those of Fan Huang’s, which she wouldn’t have attended before. This made Fan Huang so touched, thinking that the bad woman had finally decided to become a good wife and mother.

But after going a few times, he realized that her real aim was to show off her child, not to socialize.

Although Suizi and her husband hadn’t moved in yet, everyone at Chen Lijun’s office and her friends circle knew that her daughter was champion in the college entrance examination and her son-in-law just happens to rank among the top twenty, which bothered Lijun a lot.

After hearing all these, Suizi’s melancholy face gradually brightened up with a hint of a smile creeping into her lips. She covered her mouth afraid that Yu Jingting might see.

"If you want to laugh then laugh. Why are you holding back? The two of you mother and daughter are like, honestly, you can’t communicate directly, and always end up arguing through the phone. Can’t imagine what will happen when you meet."

Upon reflecting, Suizi realized that this was indeed the case.

Parent-child relationships were always more complicated than others, especially having a quirky mother. It felt like old enemies had met again.

Once the living place was sorted out, they had to pack up and move. There seemed to be so many things when they started packing.

Wang Cuihua was worried seeing a pile of possessions.

Just when they moved to the city, they could fit all their stuff in a tractor. Within just a span of one year, they had so many miscellaneous electrical appliances.

Unwilling to throw anything, finally, Yu Jingting pulled some strings and booked a carriage, packed all household appliances into a container, even included bicycles and moved everything to their new home.

Although it cost some money, it was better than buying everything new. Suizi, who was good at finance, seized the opportunity and filled the container with mountain goods.

Those were the dried mushrooms she collected from the countryside. A fully loaded freight carriage, once sold, it would be good income on the other side.

Shen Liangyin came to help Suizi pack up and saw her being so calculating and efficient. She was amazed.

"You don’t lack money at home yet why do you still want to earn more?" Suizi is the most "unambitious" scholar that Shen Liangyin had ever met as she always managed to earn some money in her spare time.

Yu Jingting was the same. This couple was really dedicated to making small amounts of money. They would not let go of any opportunity to earn, whether it was big or small.

"Every little helps, you know. The business opportunities that we research, there is demand, there is market. This business idea will never go out of style. Ah, yes, a going-away present for you."

Suizi took out an envelope from her bag.

Shen Liangyin took it and wanted to open it, but Suizi stopped her.

"Wait until I’m gone to open it. I’m afraid you’ll cry and hold me once you see it. We’re going to be saying goodbye soon; no need for any dramatic scenes."

"It feels like a piece of paper—Chen Hansui, you’re not writing a letter to secretly scold me, are you?" Shen Liangyin rubbed it with her hand, unable to guess what it was.

"If she wants to scold you, she would do it straight to your face. We don’t do sneaky things like that." Yu Jingting inputted while moving the box.

Suizi kicked him away. Women were chatting, why would he interfere? Annoying!

"We might not see each other for many years once we leave. I won’t write to you often when I’m there, wouldn’t want you to miss me too much."

"Oh please, I’m glad you’re not writing. It saves me from being disgusted." Despite what she said, Shen Liangyin felt a bit uneasy.

After sending off Suizi’s family onto the train, Shen Liangyin took out the envelope and opened it.

Inside was a piece of paper and a photo.

Shen Liangyin took them out. After seeing the words on the back of the photo, tears started rolling down her cheek.
