Chapter 758: Chapter 758 Knowledge is Power (300+ monthly tickets update)

"Fire!"

Someone shouted outside.

Suizi looked out the window and saw thick smoke billowing from Auntie Er’s house. She had no idea what had caught fire.

Seeing this, the men in Suizi’s yard, some with hoses and others with buckets of water, all rushed to the front yard.

Fan Xi’s mom didn’t care if someone else’s house was on fire; she was only interested in getting her son’s money back.

"Since you brought it up, aunt, I won’t beat around the bush. I think deciding a business partner based on kids’ preferences is unreliable. So, can you refund my son’s money?"

Suizi was concerned about the neighbor’s fire and wanted to hurry out, so she cut to the chase.

"Auntie, giving the money back is a straightforward matter for us. As long as Fan Xi takes the initiative to ask, we can refund it immediately."

Suizi knew that with Fan Xi’s intention, he would never withdraw his investment. Most likely, it was his mother’s idea. In this case, she should just shift the conflict back to them, let them solve their internal problems internally.

"But—" Fan Xi’s mom was getting anxious.

Unable to persuade her son, she had hoped to get Suizi’s help.

Suizi didn’t want to be entangled with her, so she headed straight out and saw Yu Jingting leading their children over.

"What’s going on?"

"Auntie Er’s storeroom caught fire. She doesn’t know exactly why. She was making caramelized sugar pancakes when it happened. Everyone’s off fighting the fire. We should leave through the back door, take refuge at Xiaopang’s house for a while, and return when the smoke clears."

The fire was getting serious, and their houses were close by. Yu Jingting worried that the smoke would drift over and decided to evacuate his family.

Fan Xi’s mom was still persistent about getting her son’s money back and had followed Suizi out.

"Suizi, let me advise you. You need to be cautious in making big decisions. Choosing a business partner is a significant event. How can we simply make that decision based on two children?"

All the way, Fan Xi’s mom kept nagging Suizi.

"Big girl, do you want her to hold you?" Yu Jingting was annoyed by Fan Xi’s mom and asked Luoluo, pointing to Fan Xi’s mom.

Luoluo shook her head like a wave drum, indicating she didn’t want to.

Without waiting for his dad to ask, Bobo proactively turned his head to the side, signaling that he didn’t want to be involved, thank you.

The children’s attitudes explained everything. Suizi grew even more convinced that her kids had a talent for identifying treasure.

They wouldn’t let just anyone hold them.

Fan Xi’s mom appeared to be shortsighted, nothing like Fan Xi, the smart aleck. The apple fell far from the tree in this case. Either it was a case of regression towards the mean, or his dad must be the clever one.

Fan Xi’s mom heard them using the kids as examples. What frustrated and annoyed her more was the kids’ rejection. This lit her fuse.

"Let grandma hold you. Grandma has candy!" She took out candy from her pocket, trying to bribe the kids.

Unbelievable, just two little brats, what do they know?

Giving them some candy might do the trick pretty quickly.

However, the kids shook their heads even more vigorously. Their little faces seemed to be saying: don’t mess with us.

Everyone had now arrived at Xiaopang’s front gate, and the spurned Fan Xi’s mom, lost in her agitation and unperturbed by the encounter, was focusing entirely on convincing the children. She wasn’t paying attention to where she was going and ended up bumping into someone.

"I’m sorry, are you okay?" Fan Xi’s mom asked.

The man she bumped into was tall, appeared to be under thirty, and looked quite energetic. He looked handsome and sunny, but his expression was a bit stern.

"I’m fine, just watch where you’re going," the man said.

He was carrying a cloth bag. Whatever was in it seemed heavy and clinked around. As he walked down the street, he looked a bit like a construction worker.

At this moment, Yu Jingting, Suizi, and their children were about to enter the courtyard. He glanced back, thinking it was a minor incident and didn’t give it much thought.

Just then, a gust of wind wafted the man’s scent towards Yu Jingting. He had a start.

Without thinking, Yu Jingting pushed Suizi and the kids inside the gate. Seeing Suizi’s puzzled eyes, he said: "Lock the gate."

At the same time, the man who’d bumped into Fan Xi’s mom also raised his head. Seeing Yu Jingting pull out a saw from his bag, he shouted:

"Damn you, Wu Dalang! Take this saw!"

Before she could figure out what was going on, Suizi saw the tall man pull out a saw to attack Yu Jingting. As the man drew nearer, she smelled the strong aroma of spicy soy sauce emanating from him, and she suddenly realized.

This man was Fan Lili’s boyfriend, the lunatic who fancied himself as Wu Song!

Yu Jingting always had an ax tucked into his waistband. He wasn’t flustered, he pulled out his ax and swung it towards the man’s saw.

Everyone was stunned by the scene. Fan Xi’s mom, who hadn’t yet entered the yard, was dumbstruck, standing frozen in place mumbling:

"What the... What are they doing?"

"Quick, come in!" Suizi called out to Fan Xi’s mom, attracting the lunacy’s attention to her.

"Damn you, Li Pingping! You dare to harm my Jin Lian! Take this saw!"

When Suizi quickly closed the gate, the saw landed on the iron gate with a loud clang, sparks flying everywhere, which startled Suizi.

Yu Jingting dashed back and kicked the man away, and they continued their fight.

Yu Jingting had always been strong, virtually undefeatable. But this time was different.

His opponent was a lunatic who’d sneaked into a zoo and killed a tiger — so powerful that it was frightening. Even Yu Jingting needed to give his all in this fight.

Watching worriedly, Suizi took out her pepper spray from her bag. But both men were now engaged in close combat, so she didn’t dare to act rashly for fear of hurting Yu Jingting.

"Go, dad!" Luoluo cheered for her father through the iron gate. This girl really wasn’t afraid. She had guts.

Jiaojiao had already run off to call Xiaopang for help.

Meanwhile, Bobo was asking Suizi:

"Mom, why does he call you Li Pingping? Who’s that? Is Jin Lian the same Jin Lian from Water Margin?"

"He thinks he’s Wu Song. And Li Pingping is Ximen the official’s mistress and Jin Lian’s rival — son, now is not the time for trivia!" Suizi watched as Yu Jingting fought several rounds with the man without gaining the upper hand, worrying her to the point she was nearly beside herself, wanting to help him fight.

On the side, Fan Xi’s mom seemed to have been terrified into a stupor. She didn’t even think to run and just kept mumbling "what on earth."

"No, uncle! You’re wrong!" Suddenly Bobo shouted. The man had had the upper hand, and Yu Jingting was on the verge of losing. Bobo’s shout attracted the man’s attention and let Yu Jingting kick him back a few steps.

"Kind young man, how dare you say I am wrong?!"

"If you’re Wu Song, and you call my dad Wu Dalang, that would make him your brother. Why are you trying to kill your own brother?!" Bobo wasn’t well-versed in literature for nothing, and he quickly pieced together the relationships.

His words struck the man like a bolt of lightning. He staggered back two steps, a look of horror on his face as he stared at Yu Jingting.

"Yes, I’m Wu Song, and you’re Dalang, my brother. I shouldn’t have tried to poison you.... Oh my!!! I tried to kill my own brother!!!"

He threw down his saw and, covering his head with his hands, knelt on the ground and wept openly in front of Yu Jingting:

"Dear brother, accept my apology!"

Suizi covered her mouth in disbelief....what???

You truly can’t communicate with a madman in a normal way, her son sure was clever.
