Chapter 724: Chapter 724: This Strange Street Loafer

Returning home, Yu Jingting nonchalantly sent Jiaojiao to bring Little Luobo home from Chen Lijun’s place.

As soon as Jiaojiao stepped out, his cheerful facade faded.

"Find out who had the audacity to show interest in my sister!"

"Calm down. Nothing substantial has happened yet, you’re getting agitated for nothing."

After thinking for a bit, Suizi added, "But to be honest, this time it is indeed different."

Jiaojiao is beautiful and often gets invited by boys to walk home together from school, from time to time, she also receives small gifts, though she always hands them back without accepting any.

The custom of the past couple of years had become slightly liberal, there were even those who secretly wrote love letters to Jiaojiao.

Jiaojiao would share all of these with Suizi. Their close relationship began from an early age, and Jiaojiao really trusted Suizi.

However, this time was different, Jiaojiao did not mention a word about "Phoenix Flower Boy".

"Find out who he is! Pay extra attention to those who transferred from the south in their class. If I find them, I’ll..." Yu Jingting motioned as if he was exploding, leaving Suizi facepalming.

"Top-notch big brother, that would be you."

"No, it’s not just that simple."

"Oh?"

Yu Jingting grinned ominously: "In the future, I might also be an overbearing father-in-law."

Suizi laughed profusely.

She remembered one night, Yu Jingting jolted awake in the middle of the night, his forehead covered in sweat.

He woke up Suizi, who had never seen him in such a state before, thought he was unwell and panicked.

But it turns out, Yu Jingting held her tight in his arms, trembling as he said that he had a dream about Luoluo growing up and getting married.

Suizi rolled her eyes. Was that all?

Then she happily continued sleeping, leaving Yu Jingting tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. All the while concocting a long list of standards for choosing a son-in-law.

As dawn broke, he wrote everything down and presented it to Suizi. A couple of A4 size papers were not enough for him, the most terrifying part was the small print at the bottom of the page that said "Add whenever I think of something, all interpretation rights belong to Yu Jingting".

That wasn’t enough for him, holding onto the paper, wanting to get Luoluo, who wasn’t even in kindergarten yet, to leave a handprint on it. But he was stopped by Suizi.

"If you’re always this paranoid, I worry about our girls. They may find it difficult to marry when they grow up."

She looked at dozens of standards he listed out. This wasn’t finding a son-in-law; this was like choosing a celestial successor among the stars.

Height, education, looks, these visible traits are one thing.

Morality is as clear as a spring; character is like a mountain - these abstract phrases didn’t sound like something he would say. Suizi couldn’t help marveling — this peculiar fatherly love had turned a person who was not into literary pursuits, into a poet.

And he was pretty serious about it....

Yu Jingting was quite satisfied with his standards for selecting a son-in-law. His plan was not only to select sons-in-law in this way but also to pick brothers-in-law.

Suizi, feeling sorry for the girls in their family, managed to steal those papers when no one was around and burned them.

Hoping that he would forget about it soon.

"Where is the ’Must-Read Guide for Yu Family Women’ that I wrote?"

Yu Jingting remembered that he had once written a very instructive guide for choosing a spouse.

Suizi was speechless, listening to him coming up with such terrible names.

"If Jiaojiao and Luoluo see that thing of yours, they might not even bother with you. What do you mean ’must read’? Now even a child who goes to kindergarten is called a woman..."

"The Chinese dictionary states that adult women are called women. They’re still little now, but when they grow up, when it’s time to discuss marriage—"

At the thought of discussing marriage, his teeth clenched and a murderous aura emerged.

"Fortunately, I don’t have a brother or a father like you, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have been able to marry you — by the way, can you meet the conditions listed in your ’Guide for Women’?"

"Of course I can’t!" He answered confidently, "However, as the saying goes, blue comes from the indigo plant, but it is bluer than the plant itself! Aren’t we working hard so that our children can live better lives? It wouldn’t make sense for them to live a princess’s life at home, but then have to be a foot-washing maid at someone else’s house after marrying, right?"

The mere thought of his daughter or sister being treated poorly by their in-laws after marriage stirred up an almost uncontrollable urge to burn their house down.

Suizi’s mind started to spin again.

"In the future, when neighbors are gossiping, try to keep your distance, and when our mother gets back, don’t watch those melodramatic family dramas."

Of course, no one would talk about those who are leading good lives, all that can be heard are extreme cases of people leading terrible lives. As for TV dramas, they are all written by brainless people in order to create conflict. If you believe in them, can you expect any good to come out of it?

"Anyway, as long as I’m watching, the wild boar won’t be able to ruin our cabbage!" Yu Jingting put his hands on his hips, arrogantly assertive.

Suizi rolled her eyes yet again, choosing not to burst his bubble.

As the saying goes, a woman’s life is not determined by others. Jiaojiao did not even inform her family about Phoenix Wood Boy, yet there he was hoping to protect his "cabbage", typical self-deception.

Jiaojiao had been gone for a while and hadn’t yet returned long, probably because Chen Lijun had invited her to stay for a meal.

Worried that the pregnant woman might take this opportunity to indulge in an eating spree with the three kids, leaving the "Cabbage Protector" alone, Suizi decided to go to the front yard to check on them.

Before going out, she saw Yu Jingting taking out a set of darts from under the bed and sticking them on the door, poking wildly.

Childish...Suizi mumbled in her mind.

When their father gets back from work, they should get him to write a "Must-Read Guide for Chen Family Son-in-Law" as well, and put it on the head of their street’s bed for everyone to see, using poison to fight poison, with magic to defeat magic!

Just as Suizi stepped out the door, she noticed a few of the neighbouring old ladies chatting among themselves, she seemed to hear the term "Yu Family’s eldest daughter".

Were they talking about Jiaojiao?

Suizi’s curiosity was piqued; she intentionally remained silent, maintaining a safe distance, keeping her ears alert.

"This time we caught that rogue, thanks to the intelligence of Yu Family’s eldest daughter, she’s not only pretty but also intelligent, she can also play the piano, sometimes in the evening I would stand at their doorstep just to listen, it’s lovely."

Hearing someone compliment her child, Suizi’s lips curled upwards, a sense of maternal pride filled her heart.

It was even more delightful than someone praising her.

"In a few years, she’ll be looking for a partner, I wonder what kind of person can become the Yu Family’s son-in-law, if I had such a daughter-in-law, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."

Yes, yes, keep praising. Suizi continued to look content.

"It’s really all about luck, the father is talented, the brother and sister-in-law are capable, they even have their own cars. I see that her sister-in-law is also willing to spend money on her, she buys a hundred-dollar dress just like that."

That statement sounded a bit sour. Suizi pouted.

The dress was for Jiaojiao’s performance, Suizi felt that it wasn’t good enough for Jiaojiao, if their auntie wasn’t feeling unwell these couple of days, Suizi wouldn’t hesitate to have it custom-made for her.

The next sentence, however, was particularly grating.

"People enjoy as much fortune and suffer as much hardship as they’re destined to. Some people appear to be better off than others in all respects, but they enjoy the blessings they shouldn’t have at a young age. They have used up their blessings, and will probably have to suffer hard times later on."

Suizi squinted her eyes. Good, I remember you.
