Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Ting Ge’s Daily Unusual Behavior (Asking for monthly votes)

"What I want is not an empty reputation adored by others, but to correct things that have deviated from their true course,"

Suizi said with a firm and unwavering tone.

He didn’t need to carry the blame for things he hadn’t done.

The old folks in the village had a hard time changing their mindset.

She wanted to change the way the younger generation thought.

Just like him, she pursued her goals in the trajectory of her life.

"So cheesy, you scholars really know how to fuss."

Yu Jingting turned his head away, showing his disdain in his words. Yet, the corners of his mouth were unconsciously turning upwards, more and more.

The next day, before the break of dawn, Yu Jingting got up and dressed in his mountain-climbing gear in the dark.

A thick cotton-padded jacket, a fur hat, and a firearm.

These items had not yet been reclaimed by the authorities, every household at the foot of the mountain had this equipment, sports stores in the city sold them too, useful for hunting and self-defence while in the mountains.

Besides these, he also prepared a large bag.

Yu Jingting glanced at Suizi who was still sleeping. She was tucked in the quilt with only her head exposed, adorable like a skinned honey peach.

Resisting the urge to give her a kiss, he tucked her in properly, then softly and quietly left the house.

Only a naive girl like her would believe that he was going into the mountains just to catch a few rabbits.

Softly closing the door, Yu Jingting casually put his hand into his pocket. The peculiar touch surprised him - it was...

There was originally nothing in the wide big pocket.

But at this moment, a small oilpaper package was lying there quietly.

Taking it out and sniffing it lightly, the unique aroma of fried dough food spread in his nostrils.

It should be some kind of shortbread, with a faint scent of meat, and probably some meat filling inside.

When did she prepare this?

Last night everybody at home ate noodles, he didn’t see Suizi preparing this.

While holding the thick oilpaper package, Yu Jingting thought about her getting up quietly in the middle of the night and preparing this for him.

He deeply inhaled the cold morning air, it seemed to be mixed with her unique fragrance, even this long journey into the mountains didn’t seem so tedious anymore.

The glaring flashlight shone on his face, disrupting his thoughts of his wife back home.

"Brother Jing!" The Yang brothers came over to greet him. The three had agreed to go up the mountain together.

"What’s up with Brother Jing today...?"

Yang Boss noticed that there was a peculiar gleam on Yu Jingting’s face today.

The flashlight shone on him, revealing Yu Jingting holding something and laughing foolishly. In the dark, such a silly smiling face was quite a sight.

"See, know what this is?"

Yu Jingting took the oilpaper package and flaunted it in front of the two brothers. The tightly wrapped oilpaper package could not hide the aroma of the shortbread.

The Yang brothers swallowed hard.

"My wife made this for me in the dark. Of course, you don’t have to envy or be anxious, I’ll let you guys -"

"Have a taste?"

"Smell it."

The Yang brothers were speechless, Brother Jing was really... generous.

"This is the trouble of a married man, something you single men can’t understand. You think this is just a regular shortbread, but it’s actually filled with meat."

"..." They really wanted to hit him, if they could.

"You’d think my wife is very refined, right? But this woman, she’s overly considerate. Why would she bake a pie in the middle of the night? Even sneaking it into my pocket. These little schemes of women’s, ah."

"..." While pretending to complain, could Brother Jing restrain the grin that reached his ears?

It took Yu Jingting nearly five minutes to describe in detail how delicious this shortbread was, although he hadn’t tasted it yet, but he was sure it tasted great.

After stirring up enough envy, he displayed the superiority of a married man to the fullest.

The Yang brothers were fed up with his boasting. But they didn’t dare to say anything to Yu Jingting and could only subtly change the topic.

"Big Brother Jing, do you think we can make some New Year’s money with this job? Do you think what the man from the South said is true? It’s not easy for us to go up the mountain in the dead of winter. We can’t do it for nothing. Shouldn’t we play it safe and just catch a few rabbits and go back home?"

Yu Jingting’s gaze drifted in the distance, thinking about the red cotton-padded jacket in the window. His eyes squinted.

Playing it safe, of course, means trapping rabbits.

However, rabbits couldn’t help him earn a decent living for his little Suizi.

"We’ll catch rabbits and we’ll make money."

Only children would make choices.

The number one tough guy in the Wang Family territory, he wanted it all.

"But yesterday the loudspeaker said it’s going to snow. Is it okay for us to go up the mountain?"

"Just because it’s going to snow, we need to get up the mountain, take the chance, and sell at a good price. After the snow calms down for a few days, those southerners might switch places. By then, everyone who goes up the mountain to look for it will be stuck with it, then we can buy low." Yu Jingting said calmly.

"While others are hesitating due to the weather, we take the initiative, and the opportunity is ours. If we hesitate, we’ll miss everything."

Looking towards home, in the pitch dark dawn, the small courtyard was calm and tranquil. The woman who secretly stuffed the cake for him was still sleeping.

Her sleeping face was his strongest motivation.

"Did Big Brother get Sister-in-law so quickly because he was bold and quick? Saw that Sister-in-law was pretty and brought her home without a second thought - hey, why did you kick me?" Yang number two clutched his butt, looking aggrieved.

"Because you talk too much! Let’s go."

Yu Jingting took the lead, with his two followers hurrying behind him. The darkness concealed the triumphant smile on his face.

All the impulses he felt when seeing her had been planned and premeditated for many years. All this, he would never tell an outsider.

In the afternoon, a heavy snow fell unexpectedly.

The loudspeaker had predicted snow a day in advance, but it didn’t say it would be such a heavy snowfall.

The thick feather-like snow was swirling in the sky, Suizi’s school had let out early.

Suizi was worried about Yu Jingting and wanted to rush home to see if he had returned yet.

When she passed by Li Youcai’s house, a limping Li Youcai came out with a walking stick in his hand.

He had a wound on his face. Squinting his eyes, he recognised Suizi, and his lips couldn’t help but tremble.

Suizi raised an eyebrow when she saw his miserable state.

In recent days, her family’s street wanderer had been busy doing good deeds and catching thieves, and had no time to beat up Li Youcai. Who had given him these new injuries?

"Oh my god, did he fall into the latrine?!" Jiaojiao exclaimed.

"Chen Hansui..." Li Youcai’s hand tightened on the walking stick as he looked at Suizi, lost in reverie.

His memory of Suizi stopped at the moment when he called Suizi "Wang Cuihua" and was beaten by her.

After a few days, Suizi looked well, her little face flushed, but she seemed a little flustered—Li Youcai felt a twinge in his nose.

She must have had a hard time in the old Yu house, hadn’t she?

"What?" Suizi, who was concerned about Yu Jingting, didn’t even have the interest to watch Li Youcai’s misfortune and indulge in the pleasure of hitting a drowning dog.

"I want to tell you, actually, I was deceived by Lun Lamei, I don’t want to be with her, Chen Hansui, you have to believe me!"

Li Youcai’s words made Suizi nauseous.

Was this guy beaten up so much that he lost his mind? Why was he saying this to her?

"There’s something that I can’t hide from you anymore, Suizi, I—"
