I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 690: Three Years Later

Chapter 690: Chapter 690: Three Years Later

Suizi had a dreamy sleep on the way home.

She didn’t even know when they arrived home. Yu Jingting carried her out of the car, then carried his sleeping younger sister.

Suizi had exhausted herself and when she woke up, it was already noon the next day.

"Where’s Jingting?" The first thing she did upon waking up was to look for Yu Jingting.

"He went back to his father’s place to arrange the funeral," Wang Cuihua brought a bowl of noodles over. "Eat a little to get rid of the unlucky vibes and brighten up your mood. That old man finally passed on, hehe."

Wang Cuihua would even have liked to set off firecrackers in celebration if it weren’t for fear of antagonizing others.

"My dad didn’t go back?"

"Your dad is too busy, how could he have the time? This kind of thing can be left to Tiegen to handle."

Suizi raised an eyebrow.

Her dad, he’s ruthless. His absence was already a declaration of his stance. Yu Tiegen, who was full of mischief, was the one to manage the funeral, would there be a pleasant goodbye?

"This is sure to be a busy time, two deaths at one funeral——"

"Two?"

"The second wife of the Fan Family, she had a heart attack this morning and passed away suddenly. Maybe because she served the old master so dutifully, he decided to take her with him."

Wang Cuihua didn’t have a trace of sympathy for the second wife. Not rejoicing in her misfortune was already a show of great restraint.

"Perhaps, I hope she can continue to serve her father-in-law in the afterlife. What’s the attitude of the others in the Fan Family?"

"Your dad didn’t go, so the others are also basing their actions on your dad’s attitude, what kind of attitude can they have?"

The sky of the Fan Family had completely changed.

Everyone remained silent about how the old man died last night. They only knew that he died in the early morning. The nursing home staff said it was a simple death from old age, but the people who had seen him knew that he died with his eyes wide open.

"But I’m genuinely curious about something, could those red threads really hold on to a life?" Wang Cuihua, despite her knowledge of the I Ching, was always skeptical of these mystical things.

"Mom, if the red thread can really hold on to a person’s life, then what is Jingting’s action?"

"Ah, this——"

"So, that red thread is just nonsense. We should believe in what the country is promoting nowadays, against all forms of superstition. The reason why the old master died was purely because he was out of energy. It has nothing to do with Jingting."

"But why did I see Jingting put a big nail in the trunk of the car —— he wouldn’t be planning to nail it in someone’s tomb, would he, so that their soul can never be set free? Can the two of you unify your beliefs, do you believe or not?"

Wang Cuihua was greatly shocked by her son’s behavior and pulled him aside when no one was aware.

You should drive the nail at the right place and at the right time according to the old man’s birth chart. She instructed him meticulously.

"If you believe, it exists, if you don’t, it doesn’t. To ordinary people, it’s just a nail. As long as he doesn’t do anything illegal, I won’t stop him."

From her perspective, the old man’s death indeed had nothing to do with Yu Jingting. A person who was just barely hanging on, sustained entirely by a single belief, once that belief is shattered, the person also expires.

Suizi wasn’t surprised by Jingting’s action at all. If he were to compete with anyone, he would be ruthless and relentless. He could curse in the streets on top of people’s chicken cages in the village, and he could always make Suizi feel envious of his extraordinary energy. He’s kind of cute.

"Where’s Jiaojiao?" Suizi was now more concerned about her younger sister-in-law, worried that the child might get scared by the turmoil.

Tiegen took a day off for her, thinking it would calm her down. But she was happily skipping rope outside. It turns out it would have been better to send her to school instead of taking unnecessary leave for her.

Wang Cuihua complained.

Suizi pushed the door open, and saw the three children playing happily outside in the yard, filled with laughter.

The warm sunlight shone through the sparse leaves of the Chinese parasol tree, casting dappled shadows on the ground. Now her family could finally live freely under sunshine, no longer worrying about prying eyes from the dark corners.

"Mommy~" Little Luobo saw her mom woke up and run towards Suizi with his little legs. Suizi caught the child, and Luoluo yawned.

The kids needed to take their afternoon nap. Suizi led them into the room and watched as the two children slept soundly on the bed.

There was a rocking chair beside the bed, which was a new addition by Yu Jingting. The pine wood emitted a faint fragrance, which reminded her of the vast forests of Dongbei. Lying on it and rocking, Suizi smiled subtly and closed her eyes.

....

"Wake up~" The handsome man nudged the woman on the rocking chair. He didn’t know what she was dreaming about, she had been smiling all along.

Suizi rubbed her eyes, smiled at the man in a white shirt before her.

"You’ve already changed your clothes, you look great."

"Isn’t everyone dressed like this? Like a silly hare." Yu Jingting pulled at his shirt discontentedly, the clean white made him look more elegant but less sharp. His hair neatly combed, a sight common throughout the campus today.

Because today was the day they took their graduation photos.

"What did you dream about? You were smiling wickedly." He pinched Suizi’s little nose. Suizi also chose a white dress for the day, looking like a goddess stepping out of the sunlight, and stunningly her youthful beauty.

"I dreamt of the year the old master died, and you went to the tomb with iron nails. Time flies, doesn’t it?"

"You’re really bad, you were so happy dreaming about the death of someone? You even laughed out loud."

He had been watching Suizi for a while. Even after almost five years of marriage, Suizi was still the most beautiful woman in his heart, the kind he could never get enough of.

In a blink of an eye, three and a half years had passed, Suizi and Yu Jingting had graduated from University.

Suizi applied for postgraduate studies and continued to study in the same university, while Yu Jingting had yet to decide where to go.

Suizi began to straighten his collar and took out a tie that had been prepared earlier from the drawer and tied it for him.

The graduation photo session wasn’t about wearing a cap and gown, but white shirts, and accessories could enhance the overall look.

Yu Jingting wasn’t big on wearing ties, he reached out to pull it off, Suizi took out a headband from the drawer made of the same material and wore it on her own head.

Yu Jingting’s hand immediately dropped. Well, the tie didn’t seem so annoying anymore.

"Did dad send any messages?" As Suizi adjusted his tie, she took a white gold tie clip from the drawer and put it on him, wearing a matching brooch for herself.

One look and it’s clear that they were a couple.

"He called yesterday, wanted me over. I pretended I was in a bad reception area and hung up. I sneezed several times today, I guess the old man didn’t stop cursing me."

Once the kids went to kindergarten, their hands were freed. Yu Shuisheng brought Wang Cuihua around, business in the minefield was booming. With the reform of state-owned enterprises during these two years, the terms had loosened. Yu Shuisheng pulled together all his wealth and acquired a jade mine.

Yu Jingting became the second generation of a family owning a mine overnight. Yu Shuisheng wanted him to go to the border and start a jade business after graduation.

"It might not all be my dad cursing you, my mom hasn’t spared you either. After taking the graduation photo, let’s take the kids out and hide for a few days. Don’t let my mom find you."
