Chapter 833: Chapter 833 Mastering the Sui Language Fluently

Yu Jingting had said on the ship that whoever sees it gets a share, and he wanted to divvy it up with everyone.

At that time, the brothers were so relieved that he was unharmed that they didn’t take the matter to heart.

Now that the matter had been perfectly resolved, Yu Jingting took out the large package again, and only then did everyone remember.

They were all curious about what was in the package.

Yu Jingting opened the package, and several items were wrapped haphazardly in newspaper.

Unwrapped, there were some porcelain and jade pieces.

"Antiques?" The second brother flipped through the inscriptions, from the Ming Dynasty.

"Where did they come from?"

"From—" Yu Jingting was just about to say they were taken from Frank’s house, but as he began to speak, he saw Suizi wink at him and understood.

His wife meant that he shouldn’t speak plainly but rather in "Suizi language."

"Oh, it was Frank, that idiot, who thought he could act behind the higher-ups’ backs and smuggle things. As a kind-hearted passerby, I saw this and decided to report him for smuggling cultural relics by real-name registration—as for how the stuff in this package got here, I have no idea."

It just mysteriously ended up in his package.

Given that Frank that blockhead had a warehouse full of antiques, when the higher-ups went to seize them, a few items mysteriously disappeared, no one would notice.

"The Cultural Relic Protection Law came out the year before last, tough luck for him," Suizi sneered.

If this had happened a bit earlier, what Frank did wouldn’t have constituted a crime.

But now it was different.

He wouldn’t dream of setting foot on the mainland’s territory ever again.

It’s just Frank’s bad luck that he’s such an idiot.

He thought Yu Jingting was easy to bully, so he had him bound and sent to Thunder Island.

But it turned out that Yu Jingting was someone who could eat anything but wouldn’t take a loss.

He could have gotten away earlier, but when he overheard the two thugs watching him talking, he gleaned two key pieces of information:

1. The two thugs watching him had been eying the pretty widow on the island for quite some time, pondering on taking advantage by force since her man had died.

2. Frank had a house on the island with many "important treasures" inside, and these two were required to patrol it daily.

This was something Jingting couldn’t just ignore.

His mother, years ago, had been coveted by the village scoundrels because she had no man, and this had always been etched in Yu Jingting’s heart.

So even though he didn’t know the poor woman, he had to avenge her.

He tied those two fools up in a tree and let ants and sparrows nibble at them.

And such unethical behavior would certainly earn them a good hammering from the islanders, half-dead before being taken to the police station. Just for the offense of indecency, that would be enough to lock them up for a while.

As for the treasures in Frank’s house, Jingting having heard about them, couldn’t miss the opportunity.

He strolled over for a look and exclaimed at the sight.

Being the descendant of a "non-official archaeology enthusiast," he had a formidable grandfather.

Old Master Yu would come to Beijing every now and then, inevitably scoring treasures for the Yu Family and giving impromptu lectures.

This had turned Yu Jingting into a semi-professional cultural relics appraiser, and with a discerning eye, he knew right away that these were all fine items.

Pickled by Suizi’s patriotic thinking, Yu Jingting made a decisive decision, "These fine items, they all have to be handed over to the state. How could we let them fall into the hands of those ’foreign devils’ and be taken overseas?"

At that moment of embracing values, somehow several very valuable treasures just "flew" into his bag on their own.

"Maybe even the heavens think these treasures should stay with us as family heirlooms, to be passed down through generations to promote our traditional culture," Yu Jingting said, mimicking his wife Suizi’s speech.

The crowd snickered, thinking, "Just like you!"

Poor Frank, who managed to kidnap the wrong person—a genuine ancestor to take home?

Now he’s in trouble, losing both his wife and his troops. Not only did he get a fever reducer shoved in, but he also lost a whole room of treasures and can no longer enter the country, completely missing the opportunity to make a fortune on the mainland.

"They’ll soon realize what they’ve missed. The economic boom is here, the era of great times has arrived. Those arrogant ’banana people’ still cling to their lofty attitudes towards us from the past, but they’ll inevitably be left behind by the times," he said.

Though Suizi had cursed Frank out while drunk, for her vindictive nature, it was still far from enough.

"But big brother, you’ve just handed over all his treasures to the state. Aren’t you afraid of their people seeking revenge on us?" the youngest asked.

Though the group of young and spirited lads weren’t afraid of a head-on confrontation, they worried about underhanded tactics.

"Revenge?" Suizi curved her lips and began to demonstrate her strength as the group’s military adviser.

"What should worry them, not us, now is. Frank, this idiot, always spoke Mandarin to his own people. What does that imply?"

Everyone had noticed this detail but hadn’t thought deeply about it.

"It means that the elders of their family must still cherish their roots deeply. The mountains and rivers across the strait can’t sever the hearts of those children of the sea who’ve gone abroad. Language makes them feel connected to us by blood, and even though they’ve left their homeland for special reasons, they still want to keep their roots in their hearts."

That’s why they required all the younger family members to learn Mandarin.

The elder generations may hold on to their sentiment, but grandchildren who’ve been educated in the West for a long time could produce black sheep like Frank.

To assert his sense of superiority, Frank looked down on mainlanders and sought to elevate his own status by deliberately speaking English in front of Yu Jingting and others.

"If my prediction is correct, that idiot Frank will soon be disowned by his family unless the elders have lost their minds, and someone in the family still possesses strategic foresight. Then, they’ll immediately send someone new over," she said.

The past couple of years have seen reforms and opening up, especially with the Special Zone being given so many preferential policies. The size of the business opportunities here is apparent to anyone with eyes.

Suizi didn’t believe Frank’s family would want to give up such a huge piece of the pie unless they were all fools.

"The first thing the person they send over will do is seek reconciliation with us," she stated.

As Suizi’s gaze swept across the people in the room, her words weighed with meaning.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all about to get busy again," she said.

Translated, that meant big jobs were coming. Everyone had to get their spirits up, prepare their wallets, and get ready to make some money!

Everyone except Yu Jingting retained an expression of surprise.

While their thoughts were still on the immediate gains and losses, Suizi was already planning far into the future, her maneuvers on a stratospheric level.

"So... when you reported Frank, did you already have all this in mind?" they asked.

They simply had to look at this couple with new respect. Raised on the same Dongbei rice, why was he so formidable?

"Not at all!" Yu Jingting stood tall, hand on hip, the other arm around his wife.

"I just wanted to punch someone, how could I have time to think so much about it?"

"That’s not quite right. Think again—shouldn’t you say, ’I am your eyes, and you are my hands’?"

Suizi gently reminded him.

The sweet talk of Suizi—you know.
