Chapter 83: Chapter 83 Front Row Onlookers (Thanks to Niwawa+Update)

Suizi told him about her encounter with Li Youcai today.

Yu Jingting genuinely wanted to make a life with her, his scars and callouses were proof of this.

So whatever happened to Suizi, she had no intention of hiding it from him.

Hearing that Li Youcai had dared to ask her to run away with him, Yu Jingting was immediately up in arms.

He was going to tear down Li Youcai’s house right now, it was sure to collapse under his weight!

Suizi pushed him down onto the brick bed, afraid he would do something rash, and decided to sit on his legs with his face down.

Yu Jingting grunted, his wife’s weight... such a sweet burden.

Suizi kneeled up, her hands on his shoulders, massaging his tense muscles.

"Who gave him those bruises?"

"Who else? The Chens. Uncle Chen." Yu Jingting still refused to admit that he was his father-in-law.

"Eh?"

"Wang Fenfang was urging him to get their marriage certificate now and have the wedding banquet during Chinese New Year. She wanted him to borrow money from his wages to buy stuff for the wedding. When Li Youcai was shifty, Uncle Chen beat him up."

"...Why do you know all this?" Suizi paused her massaging hand.

Yu Jingting turned his head and gave her a toothy grin.

"Because I was cheering them on when Uncle Chen was beating him."

Initially, Chen Kaide just wanted to beat him up a little, after all, he had been a weakling all his life, he couldn’t possibly stand up for his step-daughter.

Yu Jingting, a troublemaker at heart, led his men to watch the spectacle from the front row, and enticed Chen Kaide with his words.

If he didn’t fight, he wasn’t a man. A man couldn’t be so cowardly...

This infuriatingly annoying remark enraged Chen Kaide, who then unleashed a rare burst of bravado and gave Li Youcai a proper beating.

"No wonder Li Youcai is in a hurry to run away, he must be pressured to get married."

After Suizi had figured it out, she sensed something was amiss and puzzled it over.

"What are you thinking about now?"

Yu Jingting was on the pillow, squinting and enjoying her pressure point massage. He didn’t expect her to be quite skilled at serving people, it felt really comfortable.

"Jingting, where did he get the money for train tickets?"

A man who couldn’t even afford glasses suddenly had funds to run away. Wasn’t this strange?

"He probably asked to be paid his wages in advance from the village chief."

The accountant had wages. The Chinese New Year was approaching and it was time to settle the work points. The village chief would agree to pay wages in advance.

Suizi thought it over, it was indeed possible.

But knowing Li Youcai’s nature, the little money he advanced certainly wouldn’t satisfy him.

He was likely to take the old route, divert public account of the production team.

At the thought of this, Suizi’s heart beat faster.

After waiting for such a long time, finally opportunity has come.

"Jingting, can you do me a favor?"

Yu Jingting sneered, he lazily rolled over, spread himself out in a big ’X’ shape, his hands comfortably settled behind his head.

"I find that you’re very double-standard. When you need my help, you call me Jingting, when you don’t, you call me Tiegen?"

Suizi silently translated it. In other words, he was willing to help, but it would have to be worth his while.

It seemed that massage and sweet talk could no longer buy him over.

For the sake of quickly sending the criminal to jail, for the sake of quickly realizing the harmless treatment of Yang Village - the "harm" was naturally Li Youcai, the big trash of the human world.

A small advantage was acceptable.

"Jingting, have a look at this." Suizi slowly undid her cotton jacket.

Yu Jingting’s eyes were glued to her, his mouth swallowing saliva. He pretended to hold himself back and stay calm:

"Don’t go down that path. Do you think I’m the kind of person who’d abandon his principles for a small advantage?"

Suizi discarded her cotton jacket to one side, gave him a faint smile and bent down.

Yu Jingting’s eyes widened instantly.

"Is this okay, Mr. Principles?"

"Principle? What principle?" Yu Jingting immediately stepped on the dignity he had just put on.

His heart had already drifted up into the clouds.

Come on, beautiful Suizi~~~

Snap.

The man ripped the electric wire down in his haste, pulling too hard and causing it to spring back.

Suizi could only sigh: the price of justice was high indeed.

The next day, Li Youcai’s heart was pounding.

Thinking that school should be over by now, he went to the tree.

Upon arrival, he felt something was off. The school gate was locked tightly and the inside was eerily silent, void of any students.

Having spent all of yesterday mulling over money matters, he hadn’t paid attention and didn’t know the school was on holiday today.

It had been snowing all day; the accumulated snow was almost knee-deep. Standing in the snow made him feel a piercing cold.

Li Youcai stuck his hands in his sleeves, shivering and sneezing repeatedly from the cold.

He was anxious inside.

Would Suizi come?

What if the Yu Family had restricted her freedom and wouldn’t let her out of the house?

As he was pondering, he saw a figure approaching from afar.

Li Youcai’s heart leaped with joy.

Without his glasses, his vision was blurry, but he vaguely noticed that it was a woman.

Who else could be coming at this time except Suizi?

The figure was wrapped in a scarf, revealing only a pair of eyes, and dressed in a padded jacket.

With a pounding heart and trembling hands, he embraced the woman who had just approached him and instantly realized something was wrong.

Why were there dandruff flakes on her head?!

"Brother Youcai~ you’re so naughty~"

This artificial voice was sharper than the icy wind.

Li Youcai pushed the person away with a start and found Lun Lamei blushing and looking down at the ground, her hands twisted together.

"Why is it you?!"

"You called me, didn’t you?" Lun Lamei pulled out a note.

Li Youcai took the note, brought it closer to his eyes to read. The note read:

Come to the tree. I have the money. Let’s run away together.

His head felt like it was going to explode.

Realizing he’d been tricked, he didn’t spare a glance for Lun Lamei and turned around to run away.

A large basket came flying towards him.

Yu Jingting sprang down from his hiding spot on top of the school wall and stomped his foot on the basket.

Li Youcai was forced to kneel in the snow with a basket on his head, howling in pain.

"Boss, we’ve caught him!" Yu Jingting shouted loud.

The village chief, with his dark, half-bald head rising slowly like the morning sun from behind the wall, tried to imitate Jingting’s pose and land gracefully.

However, he fell flat on his face instead.

Watching through the glass of the broadcasting room, Suizi and Jiaojiao both gasped in surprise.

"Oh dear! I hope the chief didn’t hurt himself?"

"Don’t worry, that old fox can take a fall." Wang Cuihua was also there, watching the excitement with a pile of peanut and melon seed shells at her feet.

Suizi wanted to climb up the school wall like Jingting and watch the spectacle from a higher point, but the old hands in the village had warned her that it wasn’t safe for pregnant women to climb ladders, so they arranged for her to be in this Feng Shui treasure spot.

A place protected from the wind and cold, with a heater to boot.

"We need to go out and reserve the front row otherwise when the villagers come to watch, we won’t get a good spot!" Wang Cuihua said excitedly, rubbing her hands together.

"Sister-in-law, hurry up!" Jiaojiao added, just as excited.

"You two go and save a spot first, I’m in no rush." Suizi replied calmly.

Wang Cuihua was about to praise her for her calm demeanor, being educated made a difference after all.

That’s when she saw Suizi rise and walk towards the speaker.
