I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 784: Using People as Mirrors

Chapter 784: Chapter 784: Using People as Mirrors

In the courtyard, Shen Jun was gradually irritated, hearing the cheerful conversation of Suizi’s family.

Liu Yanan came over to pester him.

"You need to leave. If my father-in-law wakes up and can’t find anyone, he will be upset."

Her father-in-law had a bad temper; when he fell ill, it was even harder to care for him. The couple took turns working shifts to hang on.

Liu Yanan had been taking care of him all day; it was now Shen Jun’s turn. However, after having dinner at the old Yu Family’s house, Shen Jun made excuses to stay, complaining of gastric discomfort, and refusing to move.

Now, Shen Jun was in the courtyard again, with his face distorted, leaving Liu Yanan bewildered.

Shen Jun murmured to Liu Yanan: "Our old classmate is unkind. Listen, they’re all happy as a clam, not considering us at all."

"Didn’t they invite us to dinner? And wouldn’t it be strange if we intruded on their family conversation?"

Liu Yanan didn’t think there was anything wrong with Suizi’s family; on the contrary, she always felt guilty.

They were living in their house, not giving Suizi rent for it. These last few meals, Wang Cuihua has been warmly inviting them. Even the congee for her father-in-law was prepared by Wang Cuihua and delivered by Liu Yanan to the hospital.

"Should we buy gifts for Suizi’s children before we leave? Since we’ve been living and eating at their place for free, I guess she wouldn’t accept money from us."

Shen Jun looked at Liu Yanan like an idiot.

"She has two kids. If you bought gifts, you’d have to buy two of each. For that kind of money, I’d rather stay in a hotel. Why would we need her then?"

"How can you say that? Where would we get the extra money to stay in a hotel? And look at the meals the auntie makes, using such expensive ingredients, she even added a sea cucumber for my father-in-law today."

Wang Cuihua was indeed very hospitable.

There were many supplements in the house, mostly sent by Chen Lijun. What Fan Huang couldn’t finish was all given to Suizi’s family.

"Their family is rich. This little amount of sea cucumber is petty cash to them. She gave it to you as if you were a beggar asking for food, and you still express gratitude to her?!" Shen Jun said ironically, "I think when they gathered together at night, they wanted to eat the good stuff without us knowing. The richer the people, the smaller their minds are."

Shen Jun said this because he saw Fan Huang bring a bunch of bananas when he came.

Bananas were rare in this season, and in the times when logistics were not developed, they were considered expensive fruit.

Shen Jun was looking forward to trying it out, so he kept postponing his departure.

But nobody called him when they locked the door and started to chatter.

The frustration of not getting to eat a banana made him grow increasingly bitter.

Liu Yanan feels uncomfortable listening to him, and she couldn’t help saying, "How can you say that? You are so different now from before we got married."

The one who used to discuss life and ideals with her, talking about "How I wish there was a thousand more summers, to bring a smile to every poor soul’s face," how did he become the cynic he is today, always sneering and counting pennies?

"What do you mean by that? Are you actually disappointed that I’m poor? I think you’re just like Chen Hansui, all you see is money. Do you feel that I’m poorer than Chen Hansui’s man, lacking the ability to drive a car?"

"What are you talking about? If you have anything to say about me, just say it. Why bring up Suizi?" Liu Yanan flared up when he started to bad-mouth Suizi.

"Keep your voice down!" Although Shen Jun could trash Suizi behind her back, he was a coward and was afraid that the old Yu family might overhear him.

"I’m sick of your attitude! Shen Jun, you should be grateful when people are kind to you. If you think Suizi isn’t nice, then move out. Stop eating their food and living in their house. What kind of man are you, gossiping about others behind their backs?"

Seeing that Liu Yanan’s voice got louder, sweat began to fall from Shen Jun’s forehead. He unsuccessfully tried to cut her off a few times, and in his desperation, he slapped her.

"How dare you hit me? Now you’ve really made me angry!" Liu Yanan, a northern girl, has a fiery temper. Seeing Shen Jun hit her, she picked up a stool and struck back.

The clash resonated from the side room, attracting the attention of the main house.

"Are those two fighting? Husband, Tiegen, go and check it out!" Wang Cuihua, hearing the noise, urged her husband.

Yu Shuisheng didn’t even lift his eyelids, just gave a kick to his son’s leg.

"You go."

Yu Shuisheng, having seen countless people, could tell what kind of person one was with a simple glance. After meeting Shen Jun a few times, he took dislike to him.

This kind of rat, in Shuisheng’s eyes, was not worth the effort. He had watched his daughter-in-law hustling back and forth to accommodate them these few days while Shen Jun behaved as if he were entitled to it. Shuisheng had long found him distasteful.

If it weren’t for his daughter-in-law, Yu Shuisheng could easily kick Shen Jun out of the house.

When Suizi heard that her classmate was fighting, she hurriedly got up. Naturally, Jingting couldn’t just sit there when she was up; the two rushed over together.

Outside the side room, Suizi’s children squatted in a row, watching the couple fight inside with great interest.

Although Shen Jun was cocky, he was clearly outmatched by Liu Yanan. After all, the advantage of body weight was significant.

Liu Yanan was pressing Shen Jun on the ground, beating him, and Shen Jun was yelping in pain.

"Oh, your sister is not at a disadvantage. Wife, let’s go back inside." Jingting glanced inside the room, confirmed the situation, and expressed his satisfaction.

The scene where a woman was pressing down a man beating him, didn’t require him to intervene at all.

"You come back." Suizi pulled Jingting back, signifying with her eyes that he should at least put on a show.

Jingting rolled his eyes. How could he resist when his wife had spoken already?

He waited outside for two minutes. When Liu Yanan’s fists started to lose their strength, apparently from exhaustion, Jingting finally entered the room.

"Wow, are you two playing wrestling?"

Liu Yanan, upon seeing the arrival of Jingting and Suizi, finally got off Shen Jun.

Suizi saw Shen Jun was almost strangled, which made her miss the days when she was still plump.

If she was still the same weight, and if she was fighting with Tiegen, could she outwrestle him by sitting on him?

Recalling the scene where Liu Yanan was sitting on Shen Jun, Suizi replaced the two people in her mind with her and Jingting, which amusingly played out in her mind.

Seeing her playful expression, Jingting knew that his wife was up to no good.

He laughed to himself, liking the idea of her pressing against him, huh?

Wait till tonight when the lights were off, he would certainly fulfill her "wish"!

Let her enjoy pressing him until her heart’s content!

"Hag! You are nothing but a hag!" Seeing others had arrived, Shen Jun tried to save face. While running out, he pointed at Liu Yanan and yelled.

He was in such a hurry to run out, for fear that Liu Yanan would catch up and continue to wrestle with him.

"Worthless prick! If you dare, don’t come back!" Liu Yanan shouted.

After Shen Jun ran away, Liu Yanan let out a wail and threw herself into Suizi’s arms.

Suizi was pushed back a step by this friendship that weighed about 150 pounds and leaned against the wall.
