Chapter 861: Chapter 861: Arrange a Good Job for You

Suizi spoke slowly and leisurely to the two senior brothers.

It was only then that the two senior brothers realized that Chen Hansui had been brewing these thoughts since yesterday.

"It’s not some clever trick, if you two had any sense of decency and simply borrowed my ideas and did the work yourselves, this ugly scene wouldn’t have happened. In the end, it’s because you’re too greedy."

Suizi packed up her belongings and walked out, while the two men she outwitted were not convinced, one of them cursed angrily:

"Do you dare to talk like this in front of our tutor? You are only tough with us. On ordinary days, you’re busy sucking up to the tutor! Don’t think I don’t know, you even bring gifts to the tutor for no reason! Last time I saw you delivering cookies to her house!"

Suizi looked at him with sympathy.

"Senior brother, it must be so upsetting not to have won the tutor’s favor, huh?"

Indeed, she was very likable, and she indeed brought heartfelt but inexpensive food items, like the cookies she made herself or braised meat.

That’s because the tutor was too busy to cook sometimes, and her children had to eat in the cafeteria. Suizi often brought food to them, and when her tutor suffered from severe insomnia, she asked Du Zhong from the medicine factory for a secret recipe for treating it.

"How can you still think so superficially at your age? Have you not figured out why you’re here or understood the nature of our relationship with the tutor?"

Suizi, feeling particularly cheerful because of the phone call from Yu Jingting, was willing to talk more with these novices.

"Our relationship with the tutor isn’t just that of students and teacher; we are comrades in the same trench, united to overcome difficulties in scientific research. If you help her out and provide her with emotional support, she will have more energy to help us with technical problems. That’s how we achieve a win-win situation. Not understanding this, you will never succeed in anything you do."

These two people were the ones who most wanted to fawn over the tutor, but unfortunately, they’d always been off-target. The little they did with their flattering words never helped solve any of the tutor’s problems. They were nothing in academics and provided no emotional value in life.

The tutor liking them would be strange indeed.

"Either settle down and focus on your academic work to relieve the tutor’s worries, or stop buzzing around the tutor like flies, cooing for attention. Sycophancy and providing emotional support are two completely different things. Being able to provide effective emotional support is merely a foot in the door—the real skill is what supports you to the end."

Suizi’s speech left the two men speechless.

Having said what needed to be said, she also pitied the tutor, who had to deal with two clueless fools and took the time to give them a few pointers. Whether they could comprehend that would depend on their own insight.

Truly impressive people should have pride without arrogance, and Suizi thought of Yu Jingting.

He never skimped on giving emotional support to others, making those who dealt with him feel comfortable. Suizi’s parents liked him very much, and Fan Huang, who was usually surrounded by a crowd of people trying to butter him up, could never have won his favor with just sweet talk.

Yu Jingting had won over his future in-laws with his real skills, just as if Suizi hadn’t been outstanding in her field, she could have turned the tutor’s house into a grocery store, but the tutor wouldn’t have valued her regardless.

Suizi dared to give Yu Jingting the go-ahead precisely because she knew his capabilities, and while reason gave her 99% confidence, that remaining 1% of emotion also made the wait excruciating.

To Suizi, this little issue with her fellow disciples was a trifling matter. Once sorted out, she decided to do a thorough cleanup at home to help pass the unbearable waiting time after returning from school.

Wang Cuihua was a tidy person, and since they had a live-in nanny at home, there wasn’t much to clean.

Therefore, Suizi, armed with a rag and the homemade window cleaning tool that Yu Jingting had made for her, headed straight for her parents’ home in the front courtyard.

Watching the figure of her daughter-in-law, Wang Cuihua couldn’t help but sigh.

"Suizi’s enthusiasm is really too much, isn’t it? If Tiegen saw this—"

"He’d probably say, ’If you’ve got that much free time, why don’t you go lick the cow dung at the entrance of the village?’" said the fourth elder, who was carving toys for boy and girl twins.

Wang Cuihua slapped his back with her palm.

"Tiegen would say that to strangers, but could he bear to say that to Suizi? What I mean is, Tiegen must feel distressed seeing her struggle like that."

Siyè chuckled and bowed his head to focus intently on planing wood.

It’s all because of Tiegen that Suizi is acting so out of character. Could she really be like this after Yu Tiegen’s return?

"But on the other hand, what are you doing with all this wood, making a mess with all these shavings?" Wang Cuihua found Suizi carrying a window-cleaning wonder quite odd, but her husband was even stranger.

"Oh, I plan to build a tank for Little Luobo out of wood. Take a look at this blueprint."

Yu Shuisheng held up the blueprint he had drawn, "The kids can sit inside, and we can pull it with a rope so the tank can slide forward. Then, when you hit this switch, the slingshot will launch. You can shoot at whoever you don’t like with it. How about that for an idea?"

"....I think the one who should go lick cow dung at the village entrance out of sheer boredom is you."

What’s the point of making such a meaningless toy?!

During a wait, doing nothing makes people overthink. It’s essential to find something to distract oneself.

Suizi thought so, and so did Siyè.

Chen Lijun was forced by Fan Huang to stay home and keep the child safe. She was bored to death when Suizi arrived.

"What are you doing?" Chen Lijun saw Suizi carrying a stick with two towels over her shoulder and wearing a triangular headscarf on her head, looking quirky.

"Giving you a major cleanup."

As soon as Suizi entered, she began tidying up. After mopping the floor and wiping windows, Chen Lijun, seeing her in such a frenzy, hurried to the restroom to hide Fan Huang’s underpants from the night before—she was genuinely afraid the frenzied maiden would wash those too.

"Why are you acting so abnormal? What happened?" Chen Lijun asked, munching on fruit and watching Suizi wipe the windows with her pregnant belly protruding.

"Everything’s fine; just bored and looking for something to do. I’ll walk with you tonight. The evening breeze on our campus is so nice. We can walk from our house to the campus, circle it once, and then walk back. It’ll be a one-hour round trip, good for health and fitness."

"..." That’s really not necessary!

"Is Jingting doing well lately? Has he not annoyed you?"

"He’s doing very well. He’s busy expanding the business at home. I’m about to become a wealthy woman. What’s there to be annoyed about?"

Chen Lijun circled her maiden, scrutinizing her from left to right, and shook her head.

"I can’t see the aura of a wealthy woman on you just yet, but I think there’s a big word written across your face."

"What?"

"Complaining wife."

"Mom, doesn’t pregnancy make you dumb for three years? ’Complaining wife,’ that’s two words, not one. How about this? Once I’m done with the big cleanup, I’ll tell you about my major. It can also count as prenatal education for the baby in your belly."

Five minutes later, Suizi was kicked out, and Chen Lijun calmly locked the door from inside, ensuring that the overly energetic girl couldn’t come back in and wreak havoc.

"I see you’re unbearably idle. In that case, I’ll find you a good job to do."
