Chapter 614: Like Mother, Like Daughter
Chapter 614: Chapter 614: Like Mother, Like Daughter
Suizi and Yu Jingting started school, going from work to school, had them running around non-stop.
Suizi adapted rather smoothly, but Yu Jingting suffered a little.
The only reason he got accepted was because Suizi accurately predicted the exam questions, but his basic knowledge was far behind. Entering such a top-notch school, he had to put in extra effort in English and advanced mathematics to keep up with the lectures.
Only after starting school did he realize he’d been fooled by his wife.
They indeed went to the library every day, but it was not for leisure, it was solely for studying. Suizi tricked him before the exam, saying they could have fun at the library. All of those were merely bullshits.
The better the school, the higher the students’ enthusiasm for autonomous learning. The library was packed with people - there were no dead corners.
It was already nice if they could find a seat. Don’t even think about being disrespectful in these sacred halls!
And those woodland plays that Suizi mentioned, were pretty much the same.
Yu Jingting dragged Suizi over enthusiastically, but before they’d even entered the woods, they could already hear voices.
Voices of people reciting English words - not those other nonsense.
Yu Jingting was furious.
Couldn’t these people find a place with no people to recite words - okay, perhaps to the students, the woods is a place with no people.
What really pissed he off, it wasn’t that none of the grand visions his wife painted for him before the exam materialized - it’s that this crafty woman calmly admitted to it.
Yes, everything she said before the exam was to bamboozle him. So what? That’s what you get for being uneducated - you believe whatever someone says. The moral of this story is that going to school is to avoid getting scammed. Some things, you have to see them for yourself to know they’re real. If you don’t come to college, how would you know what goes on in college? That’s what Suizi said.
The logic sounded flawless, but with people like Yu Jingting, who grew up on the streets, you can’t argue with logic.
So Suizi was carried back to the room by an annoyed and furious Yu Jingting. He shut the door, and when he opened it again, it was already afternoon.
They didn’t have classes on Sunday, and Wang Cuihua knew to give the couple some space, so they slept till dawn.
Suizi got up and looked at the man sleeping soundly, and was so angry that she didn’t know where to explode.
She kicked him off the bed with one foot.
Yu Jingting sat up with a scream, still not fully awake. His eyes scanned the room instinctively, then he looked at Suizi, then down at himself, seemed puzzled about why he was sitting on the floor.
Suizi looked at his expression, her heart was going to burst with adoration, but she kept a poker face, showing a worried look.
"My beloved husband, how did you fall down?"
Yu Jingting was still in a daze, seemingly wondering why he’d fallen to the floor.
It wasn’t until he saw Suizi laughing with her hand over her mouth that he realized what was going on.
"Are you looking for a fuck’n death wish?!"
Suizi let out a shriek and jumped up, trying to run out, but was grabbed by Yu Jingting and pinned to the carpet.
Chen Lijun stood at the door, calling out a few times without getting a response. When she walked in, she saw this scene.
"Have you two shoved all your studies into a dog’s belly? Is this the kind of thing your school teaches?"
Suizi got up from the floor, red-faced. Getting caught in the act by her own mom was too much to handle.
"Suizi fell, and I was just helping her."
Yu Jingting got up from the carpet with no change in his expression, smiling at Chen Lijun, "The school taught us to be helpful. Mom, don’t you think I’m improving in leaps and bounds?"
"Your skin is thicker than our city wall. When you help others, do your hands sneak into people’s clothes?"
"Hey, maybe my hand slipped, mom. Why did you come here? Shouldn’t we come to you instead?" Yu Jingting continued to joke.
"I made too much soup, it would be a waste to dump it, so I brought it to you guys. Where’s your mother?"
Suizi was gritting her teeth to the back of her ears.
Obviously, it was made specifically for her, but she came up with a lame excuse that it was leftovers. This old lady was really unlovable.
"I don’t know, probably taking the kid to the park to feed the fish."
The school had a lake with giant koi fish in it. Their three kids loved to feed them, and Wang Cuihua steamed man tou every few days to take the kids to feed the fish.
"Mom, how did you get here? I didn’t hear a car."
Suizi remembered her mother living with the family, which was quite a distance away.
"Oh, I walked here. What’s with your expressions? Don’t you know I moved to your front yard? You’re such ungrateful children."
Chen Lijun enjoyed the surprised look on her daughter and son-in-law’s faces, finding a small pleasure in her successful prank.
"You moved here?!! When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell us?!"
"Why should I tell you? It’s not like I didn’t have help moving. What’s with that look? Don’t think I missed you. I just worry that my two grandsons’ aesthetic would be skewed by you two, so I came to supervise."
"I think you’re just tired of that old man nagging at you, aren’t you?" Suizi hit the nail on the head.
Chen Lijun snorted.
"It’s all because you two got that old man worried and kept nagging me, making all sorts of noises, so annoying."
The incident at the train station where Yu Jingting confronted Chen’s father, while it delighted him, left Chen’s father fuming afterwards.
He was already narrow-minded, so when something happened, he couldn’t let go, and would howl whenever he thought about it.
When Chen Ziyao was at home, he howled about him; when Chen Ziyao went back to the army, he started to pick on Chen Lijun.
But Chen Lijun wouldn’t let him have his way, so when they quarreled, Chen Lijun would smash things.
The father and daughter hurt each other, but Chen’s father was no match for Chen Lijun in a fight. He was pissed off every day, and during a quarrel, he told her to get lost. Chen Lijun gleefully packed her bags and left.
"Have Jingting come over to my place to get something later," said Chen Lijun.
Suizi thought it was food, but Yu Jingting ended up carrying back a box full of antique porcelain.
"Mom, are you also like our grandpa, an unofficial archaeologist?!" Suizi picked up a vase and looked at the signature on it. She felt like she could open her own private museum in the future.
"How could I be so tasteless? These are all stolen goods, not suitable to keep at mine, so I’ll give them to you."
Stolen goods!
The word scared Suizi, and a picture of her mother being taken away in handcuffs appeared in her mind. She wanted to say something, but didn’t know what to say. After a long time, she finally said:
"Mom... you should turn yourself in."
Chen Lijun was both crying and laughing - how did she end up having such a silly daughter?
"What are you thinking? I "borrowed" these from your father’s collection - anyway, they’re yours now."
It was much later that Suizi found out just how shameless her mother was.
Chen Lijun also has a background in art. Although her current work has nothing to do with art, she has many acquaintances in the art circle.
Among these acquaintances was someone who was good at making replica porcelain.
Chen’s father liked antiques and had quite a few at home, some of which were handed down from their ancestors and some of which he had obtained by one means or another.
Chen Lijun had her friend create replicas that were identical to the originals. When Chen’s father wasn’t looking, she would switch them. When they argued, she intentionally smashed the replicas. That’s what you call dying without proof.
