I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 85: Hey, isn’t that who?

Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Hey, isn’t that who?

"Do not act against your conscience, do not fail in your obligations, do not exploit resources. These three principles serve to establish moral values for heaven and earth, Li Youcai, do you understand?"

Suizi’s words caused a silence to fall upon the crowd, all were eager to hear the thoughtful words spoken by the most educated girl in the village, speaking on behalf of everyone.

"Brother, what does she mean?" Jiaojiao asked, mirroring everyone’s thoughts.

"She’s calling him a fool." Yu Jingting didn’t really understand either, but that did not hinder him from confidently answering.

Confidence, after all, was the most important quality in life.

The crowd had an enlightenment, they were in awe of Suizi’s intelligence, even in insulting someone!

"Don’t disregard your conscience, don’t act heartlessly, and don’t squander assets. Fulfilling these three rules can establish moral values for heaven and earth. Li Youcai, your conscience is a rarity."

Suizi tried hard not to contradict Yu Jingting.

At that moment, Suizi’s words, gentle yet determined, carried effectively through the snow and reached Li Youcai’s ears.

In his mind, he was transported back to his previous life when he was an employee of Suizi’s, listening to her speak at a shareholders’ meeting.

He felt an awe, not daring to meet her gaze, always feeling that beneath this woman’s fragile exterior, was a will stronger than a diamond.

He thought if he killed her, he would be able to shake off this fear once and for all, yet even many years after Suizi’s death, he would dream of her holding meetings.

With this tone, not too stern, but firm enough to command respect.

After hearing her, it was impossible for him not to submit to her.

"I did not, I did not intend to harm our fellow villagers, I really thought the money was not safe, that’s why I moved it!"

At this point, Li Youcai still clung stubbornly to his story.

He knew that if he admitted his fault now, he would face the same fate as in his previous life, many years of imprisonment.

He still held onto the hope of living a good life after rebirth, to win the beauty-wealth combination of Suizi, and reach the peak of life, and he was not willing to lose everything here.

Suddenly, Li Youcai focused his gaze on Suizi.

He remembered that Suizi was the kindest person.

She would weep at the sight of a stray cat crushed on the road.

How could such a kind-hearted person bear to put him in prison?

"Suizi, we were classmates! Can you bear to watch me suffer? Our relationship back in school was so good——"

Yu Jingting, who had been indifferent at first and was waiting for him to embarrass himself further, stepped forward and gave him a kick as soon as he heard this.

"Getting too soft on him? You two have no relationship, it was you who spread rumors about my woman outside. My mother-in-law personally sent me to deal with you, have your wounds healed and made you forget the pain!"

Suizi gratefully looked towards Yu Jingting.

His words, always reliable at crucial moments, silenced Li Youcai’s plot effectively.

Li Youcai had shown no tact in his words.

He had intended to play an emotional card, but hadn’t thought about how much trouble this approach would bring to Suizi.

"Li Youcai, during the exams, it was because I allowed you to copy my paper that you got into school. I deeply regret my momentary lapse of judgment, nurturing a social cancer in you."

If Li Youcai had not made it to school, and had stayed home as a farmer, the heavy farm work might have made him abandon his fantasies of getting something without doing anything, and might have chosen to marry someone wealthy, to lead a comfortable life.

"Someone like you, despite lacking capability, schemes a lot. Preventing you from seeing the outside world is a protection for the world."

Suizi’s words drifted gently into Li Youcai’s ears, startling him.

With squinted eyes, he tried hard to make out Suizi’s expression, as a horrible thought took shape in his mind.

"Who...exactly are you?!"

Could it be that Suizi remembered her past life?!

This thought made Li Youcai lose his breath.

If Suizi did not remember the sweat and blood of the past life, why would she want to put him in prison?

"She...is...your...mom!" Yu Jingting enunciated each word, and with an impactful kick, knocked out Li Youcai.

Suizi looked down contentedly.

She wouldn’t let Li Youcai know.

Let him repent in jail with this hanging in his mind.

"Let my son go!" Li Youcai’s mother ran over, stumbling and falling onto her knees, crying out desperately.

"We only have this one laborer in our family. If you take him away, what will happen to me and my husband? His father is paralyzed, my son cannot go to jail!"

"His uncle! Youcai watched you grow up! Do you really want to push dead our entire family? We have no one else!

Lun Lamei, who had been standing idly by, regained her senses and followed suit, falling to her knees and wailing on the ground:

"Village Chief! I am about to get married and get my certificate! If you take my man away, what I am going to do!"

The village chief looked at the mother-daughter pair, truly in a predicament. Considering Li Youcai’s family situation, he was somewhat indecisive.

"You pity them, but don’t you pity our fellow villagers? Elder Yang’s health had been frail, he was waiting for the distribution of the money to buy medicine, if he took the money, will he die waiting for it? And Yang Wu, he was waiting for the money to get married."

Suizi cited examples as if she was listing treasures, and the villagers she referred to burned with anger.

This money meant a year’s hard work to many families. They could not forgive someone for wanting to swallow it all.

"Chen Hansui, you fox! You’re nothing good and neither was your mother! You’re just as low as—— ah!"

Li’s mother was silenced by a couple of snowballs slamming into her mouth.

Yu Jingting and Jiaojiao looked up at the sky, while idly patting their hands on the snow.

"Good aim."

"Brother, you too!"

"I am what, it’s not for you to say. As for whether Li Youcai stole the money or not, it’s not for me to say either. Send him to the bureau, if it’s there, it’s there, if it’s not, it’s not."

Suizi spoke calmly.

Looking up at the sky, snowflakes were falling.

She had accomplished her first goal after rebirth.

She had succeeded in sending Li Youcai to jail.

Li Youcai was taken away, and all the money was found at his house, without a penny missing.

To prevent any further complications, Suizi, who also served as an accountant, distributed the money in advance.

The mood of the villagers was much lighter as a result, and needless to say, receiving the money earlier was indeed great news.

The villagers formed a long line in front of the production team’s office, and Suizi was in Li Youcai’s office, quickly calculating with the abacus.

Yu Jingting was worried that the chair Li Youcai previously sat on was toxic, so he asked Jiaojiao to bring a soft cushion from home and replaced it with another chair to make Suizi feel more comfortable.

Every villager who came to collect money thanked Suizi, and even Yu Jingting received a warm welcome.

In this short period of time, Yu Jingting’s reputation had risen dramatically, and after assisting with the arrest of Li Youcai, he had become a hero in the hearts of many villagers.

For a time, there was talk of how perfect Suizi and Yu Jingting were for each other in terms of both talent and beauty.

Yu Jingting had an unlit cigarette hanging out of his mouth, and although he was trying to maintain the cold demeanor befitting of the village’s first tough guy, everyone could see that he was in a very good mood.

The cheerfulness of the occasion continued as money was being distributed when suddenly, a disturbing voice interrupted.

"You disrespectful girl! Why does our family only get this little money?!"

"Oh, isn’t this Uncle Chen?" Yu Jingting took the cigarette out of his mouth and cheerfully approached him.
