I am chasing a rough man in the 80s -
Chapter 81 Suizi, keep calm
Chapter 81: Chapter 81 Suizi, keep calm
Yu Jingting thought to himself, a real man shouldn’t be afraid of his wife, he has to maintain a tough stance.
But what he said aloud was ——
"What the hell are you doing out in the freezing cold? Have you lost your mind?"
"I just worry about you."
Biu~
The man’s heart melted at her words, his tone softened.
"What could possibly happen to me?"
Suizi shook her head.
"Even the tiger snoozes sometimes. No matter how strong you are, but..."
She thought about her past life.
She had been incredibly careful, yet still ended up being pushed down the mountain by Li Youcai.
No one could predict danger a hundred percent of the time.
Tears welled up in Suizi’s eyes, and her voice broke a little.
She was really scared that he would be harmed as well.
She was always uneasy at home, it was only when she saw him that the tension in her heart eased.
What a silly girl.
That’s what he thought, but all he heard was an overly soft voice saying,
"I won’t let you worry again next time, please don’t cry."
Huh...?! Yu Jingting touched his lips, wondering, since when did it start to speak on its own?
Who could resist when his young wife was too soft and delicate?
Yu Jingting and Suizi walked back hand in hand.
"Cuihua! You’re getting carried away! She is pregnant and you allowed her to go out in the middle of the night?!" Yu Jingting roared as soon as he walked in.
Wang Cuihua slammed the dustpan on his head.
"Who are you calling Cuihua? You disrespectful thing -- What’s that on your shoulder?! Give it here!"
Yu Jingting’s mouth almost reached his ears.
This is the difference between a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law.
His wife had waited for him in the freezing cold, and when she saw him, she asked no questions, only if he had eaten.
His own mother, on the other hand, completely ignored his towering presence, only focusing on the object he brought.
Suizi had already noticed the parcel on his shoulder earlier, she thought it was some rare herbal medicines that he had collected from the mountain.
Yu Jingting set the package on the floor. It was a big cloth bag, soft and sagging.
As he unfastened it, a hue of red appeared.
Suizi: ...
The red cotton-padded jacket in the mall window had been bought by him.
The top part contained the cotton-padded jacket, whilst the bottom part was filled with fabric.
"As the New Year is approaching, you can use this as a model and make a set of clothes for each of us."
"Oh my, why did you spend so much money on this? You only needed to buy for Suizi and Jiaojiao."
Wang Cuihua said this, but her face revealed her pleasure.
"Ha, if it’s for you, you will wear it —— Hey! Describe our mother in a phrase, something like ’old cucumber painted green,’ old but still looks good."
Was he praising or insulting her? Suizi cast a sidelong glance at him.
"If I had a son as insensible as you, I would suffocate him to death."
Wang Cuihua nodded in agreement. True, she was far too kind-hearted not to have drowned that bad boy Yu Tiegen in the cesspit when she had the chance.
"’Old cucumber painted fresh’ is to pretend to be young. But our mother exudes grace and elegance, retains her charm, naturally beautiful, even though you’re full of flaws, you still don’t annoy people."
Yu Jingting skipped the flowery compliments at the beginning, but the last comment caused his ear to twitch and his eyes to squint dangerously.
"What do you mean ’Even though I’m full of flaws, I still don’t annoy people’? That doesn’t sound like a compliment!"
"It’s because you took after your mother in the looks, we were fortunate that you inherited her good looks. If you looked like Yu Tiefu and Yu Tiegui, you might have been beaten to death already."
The two brothers had faces so ugly, they were an injustice to appearance itself, large enough to contain mountains and rivers, not to mention their ugliness was accompanied by equally foul hearts.
Compared to other members in the old Yu family, Yu Jingting stood out indeed like a fairy under the moon, a cinnabar mole at his heart position entirely refreshing to look at.
Suizi’s tactful response makes everyone burst into laughter, Yu Jingting, touching his chin, wonders if he could bite her without causing too much offence.
Wait until they are back in their room, and see if he doesn’t pretend-kiss her little mouth till it’s swollen!
Suizi pretended she did not see his "ferocious" gaze and bent her head down to play with things he had brought back.
Among them was a readymade cotton-padded jacket, there was still enough material left to make a set for Jiaojiao and Wang Cuihua, cost effective, and also avoiding offending mother and sister-in-law.
Yu Jingting’s method of doing things was thorough, and he even considered the relationship between mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
It would be too expensive to buy three readymade pieces, only buying for Suizi would certainly displease the other women in the family.
His solution was flawless by anyone, spending the least money, having the biggest effect.
He was indeed a person who gets things done, Suizi looked at Yu Jingting with respect-filled eyes.
"Where did you get the money from?" Wang Cuihua has already started studying the design of the jacket.
"Earned by mountain harvesting."
"Mountain harvesting? What can you harvest at this season in the mountain--Wait, you didn’t...did you?"
Suizi suddenly reacted, the genius that she was had a clear understanding of the profitable harvests from the mountain during every season.
She immediately grabs Yu Jingting’s hand, and sure enough the center of his palm had worn out.
Tears sprang to her eyes.
Yu Jingting was waiting to be praised by the women at home, but instead of receiving praises, he almost got washed away by his wife’s tears.
"Don’t cry, it’s not such a big deal."
"You sit there and don’t move! I will get you some antiseptic!" Suizi held him down and sobbed while she searched for medicine.
"Hey~~~Lady, can you hurry up~~~~ at this pace, my small wound would heal by itself~~~~" Yu Jingting bantered with her.
He did not think it was a serious matter, he used to have much more severe injuries from fighting outside.
"Don’t cry, okay? You can still cry when I unfortunately die one day——"
"Shut up!" Suizi roared unusually.
Wang Cuihua slapped him upside the head, almost gave him a concussion.
"Not allowing any say of unlucky things!" Suizi and Wang Cuihua said in unison.
Yu Jingting touched his chin frustratedly.
"Is this how you treat a hero? My hand injury draws lesser pain from Cuihua’s beatings than it does from your one——oh, mom! I’m grown up, would you please stop twisting my ears?"
Suizi got hold of a pair of tweezers and some alcohol, carefully removing the splinters and tiny thorns from his palm, then applied alcohol to disinfect it.
She cried as she worked.
Yu Jingting wanted to tease her a bit, but witnessing her sob so heartfeltly he did not dare to say anything, her tears were more heart wrenching than his mother’s slap.
Even if his mother beat him to bone break, it would not be as sore as his wife’s tears dropped on his heart.
"I have told you already that I didn’t like it, you insisted on buying it, you are overly self-conscious, overbearing, self - self—" Suizi sobbed as she talked, suddenly she picked up scissors, she was ready to cut the cotton jacket.
Scared, Wang Cuihua stepped back, holding up the clothes.
"Suizi, calm down!"
These items had been bought with money, damaging properties was strictly forbidden in this household!
"Why should we keep something which hurt him? Do you know what he did for earning the money?"
"Um?" Wang Cuihua thought, it was just a little skin wound, it wasn’t that serious right?
She didn’t dare to say it though.
In the face of Suizi’s deep sorrow, Wang Cuihua felt that if she dared to say it out loud, her daughter-in-law could cry the house down.
"He climbed on the trees to pick holly, such a high tree, he climbed bare-handed, his hands are worn out..."
Holly is a type of herbal medicine that grows on trees, one can sell it for money during the winter time, it was the only thing Suizi could think of.
Just thinking about him braving the danger climbing the tree time and again for a little money for clothes twisted her heart.
Seeing her cry so hard, in desperation Yu Jingting blurted out a threatening phrase in haste.
