I am chasing a rough man in the 80s

Chapter 875: Chapter 875 My Family’s Atmosphere Is Just That Good

"No matter how old you are, in front of your parents, you’re always a baby. Grandpa, just let my dad be the big baby,"

Suizi articulated each syllable, emphasizing loudly and clearly, as if delivering a line of poetry.

The cheesiness was a solid five-star rating.

Uncle Si had red ears, and the old man wore an expression as if he’d seen a ghost.

"You two, fatherly love and filial piety abound, continue on, we’ll just spectate here," he said, and then added an innocent look for good measure.

Who could possibly play on after that?!

In a fit of bashfulness turned to anger, Uncle Si flipped the chessboard.

"Play what play! Don’t we still have serious business to discuss? The old man can’t stay up late; let’s get into the study and talk business pronto!"

"Exactly, serious matters first!" The old man was also keen to avoid another mushy love declaration from Suizi.

Suizi shot Yu Jingting a triumphant glance. How about that?

Yu Jingting gave her a thumbs up: "Wife, you sweet talk like a sly vixen greased with laxative; your little mouth is sweeter than honey! You flick those little words so elegantly,"

"..." Suizi decided that later, when he fell asleep, she would smear some laxative on his lips first, to make his mouth ’sweeter than honey’, heh.

The study was some distance from the bedrooms, so discussing business at night wouldn’t disturb the children’s rest.

Suizi took out her best tea leaves and brewed them.

"Jingting and I have a plan that is slightly lengthy, and the scope a bit large, so the discussion may take a while. It’s necessary to drink some tea to stay sharp,"

Suizi picked up a piece of chalk and began writing plan data on the blackboard on the wall.

"Within two years, Grandpa and Dad’s mines can maintain the status quo, and we don’t even have to disclose that our two families have already established private ties."

"All my market stuff is eventually going to be yours anyway," said Elder Hu, glancing at Uncle Si, and then added, "If this good-for-nothing doesn’t change his ways, always cheating in chess and pissing me off, I won’t leave it to him, I’ll leave it to Jingting."

"..... Who cares! If you keep annoying me, I won’t even come to your market when the time comes," Uncle Si muttered.

"You two, pay attention and listen seriously. Teacher Xiaochen is lecturing here, what are you guys whispering about?" Yu Jingting casually tossed a piece of chalk at the two childish troublemakers.

Uncle Si and the old man collectively went into a rage, successfully shifting the conflict onto Yu Jingting.

Suizi’s forehead creased with lines of exasperation.

Holding a meeting with these three was harder than teaching in an elementary school; the meeting discipline was too cringeworthy to behold.

Who would have thought that a gathering of bigwigs would look like this?

Father-in-law and Grandpa, after all, are the elders and can’t be easily spoken against.

Suizi flicked the piece of chalk onto Yu Jingting’s forehead.

Yu Jingting: ???

"Wife, whose side are you on? I’m trying to maintain order here!"

"Stop adding fuel to the fire and the atmosphere will be just fine!"

Suizi took a dig at her own man, which effectively calmed down the two old childish spirits, allowing the meeting to continue.

"Suizi, what are you hinting at with your plan? Why not let people know that me and this unfilial son have reconciled?" asked the old man.

"Doing so will help us take advantage of the current market situation. Outsiders think you and Dad don’t get along, they tend to offer us specific information, and that allows us to benefit the most,"

Yu Jingting, fearing the old man might not understand Suizi’s eloquent words, translated simply.

"What she means is, let the idiot who’s always been against you get struck by lightning."

The old man sat up straight in a flash.

"Are you saying you can help me take down the Zhang Family?"

The biggest rival of the Hu Family at the moment was the Zhang Family.

After the Fourth Master left, the ability of the old man was always somewhat lacking; he had been duped by the opposing side many times.

He suspected there was a traitor within, but couldn’t find out who it was, otherwise how could he have orchestrated a kidnapping to force the Fourth Master’s return?

The old man felt that only the Fourth Master could continue to fight the Zhang Family; he’d need that satisfaction even if it killed him.

"Taking down is not the right word. We are a respectable family; we cannot do things against the law and morality. You should say we’re engaging in business warfare."

Suizi corrected the old man’s phrasing very seriously.

Every deal her family did had to be clean; that was a principle.

"Whatever it is, a brawl or a business battle, can you suppress the opponent’s momentum?" This was more invigorating for the old man than any strong tea.

"I think Father probably had a plan in mind a long time ago. Let me offer Buddha a flower borrowed from another’s bush, so to speak, and present Father’s ideas."

"Oh?" The Fourth Master raised an eyebrow. This girl knew even his own thoughts? He hadn’t spoken to anyone about them.

"Father must have been planning this since the start of the year. I noticed several unusual transactions at his own minefield; if I’m not mistaken, Father is fishing."

"How did you see the transactions of my minefield?!"

Yu Jingting whistled towards the ceiling. Wow, he had "accidentally" seen them when rummaging through the safe and "accidentally" handed them to his wife.

"Hetui! You rebellious son! How dare you rummage through your old man’s box! Your mother should have broken your hands!" The Fourth Master cursed.

Yu Jingting pursed his lips.

"If it weren’t for you talking in your sleep and scaring my mother so she came to consult with my wife, how could we have engaged in such sneaky activities?"

"I was talking in my sleep?" The Fourth Master didn’t believe it.

"Didn’t you? You shouted, ’Father! I’m coming to save you! Father, you are my god! Dad, I can’t live without you!’ It scared my mother to death." Yu Jingting deliberately exaggerated.

For a time, Yu Shuisheng indeed talked in his sleep, but it wasn’t so mushy; he just kept repeating the old man’s name. Wang Cuihua, worried that the old man was causing him trouble, went to discuss it secretly with Suizi.

It was since then that Suizi started looking into these matters.

But when serious words passed through Yu Tiegen’s mouth, they always seemed to become less serious.

The Fourth Master slammed the table, ready to clean house that very day.

Yet the old man was comfortably stroking his beard. Hmm, for some reason, he suddenly felt very good?

"Wait until we’re done discussing serious matters, then I’ll break your legs!" The Fourth Master grumbled.

"So you think you’re big and bad, huh? If you hit me, my mother will kick your ass!" Yu Jingting retorted.

"You have no idea of your place in the family hierarchy; your mother will only team up with me in mixed doubles to beat you, turning you into a human sweet potato!"

While these two were battling it out, Suizi poured tea for the old man and said as if it were the most natural thing in the world, "Our family has a great atmosphere. You’ll understand once you move in with us."

"..." The old man felt Suizi might have some misconceptions about a good atmosphere.

Wang Cuihua, worried that these men might actually start fighting, pretended to bring in some fruit. As she pushed open the door, the Fourth Master and Yu Jingting instantly fell silent.

One pretended to drink tea, the other whistled.

Seeing no issue, Wang Cuihua backed out. No sooner had she left than Yu Jingting raised his hand, about to flip his father the bird, but Suizi pressed his hand down.

"If you keep messing around, I’ll strip you of your right to attend meetings."

With Suizi taking sides, the Fourth Master felt somewhat appeased, and the meeting continued.

Yu Jingting’s mouth almost twisted to the back of his ear. So maintaining world peace depended on picking on him alone?
