Chapter 888: Chapter 888 This is Our Secret, Oh

Yu Jingting was caught between laughter and tears by his maiden’s antics, with his son adding fuel to the fire on the side.

"If you insist on going, then you will lose our love!"

Yu Jingting’s forehead creased as he picked up his daughter, who was pretending to be a corpse on the ground, and dragged his son over, gently bumping his little head with his own.

"Aren’t there enough masterpieces in the study for you to read? Must you learn to watch the trashy TV dramas that Grandma watches, which are meant to deceive the tears of middle-aged and older women? Look at your mother, so young and beautiful, wise and incomparable, does she watch that stuff?"

"Grandma never watched it back in the day, either, it’s just that time flies like rushing water." Bobo had a look of world-weariness in his eyes as he glanced at his mother behind him.

That look seemed to say that in a few years, Mom wouldn’t be able to escape the ravages of these melodramatic dramas either.

Suizi’s eyelid twitched, she pursed her lips, straining to hold back her laughter.

She now understood the children’s motives and wasn’t as upset anymore.

But the lesson still had to be taught.

"Mom, are you still mad?" Luoluo asked Suizi cautiously, sensing a change in her mother’s attitude.

Suizi sighed and took the little hands of both children.

"Su Zhe has not loved you two in vain; it’s good that you keep him in your hearts, but the method leaves something to be desired."

The boy and girl twins’ eyes went wide.

Yu Jingting tugged at the corner of his mouth. Ginger was still his daughter-in-law’s match—no matter how clever these brats were, how could they outwit his wife?

"Mom, you know?" Luoluo asked.

"Did you come up with this method to stand up for your godfather because you heard people in the Research Institute’s Cafeteria speaking ill of him?"

Suizi easily tricked out the truth, and the expressions of the twins told her she’d guessed right.

"Last time we went there, we overheard several aunties in the cafeteria say that godfather was a cripple and even if he got married, he couldn’t do ’that thing’—Mom, what is ’that thing’?"

Luoluo confessed the whole thing after seeing that her mother had guessed it and took the opportunity to ask about something that she and her brother couldn’t understand.

Upon hearing this, Suizi’s face immediately darkened, understanding why her children had done what they did, she herself felt angered.

"Your dad, you answer this question." Suizi couldn’t bring herself to explain the adults’ vulgarity to the children.

"Uh—" Yu Jingting was also at a loss.

Although he was quite keen on "that thing," how in the world could he explain it to a child?

"She is cursing your godfather to be childless." After some thought, Yu Jingting could only answer as euphemistically as possible.

"That’s so malicious, they should have their big iron pots and frying ladles transported over!" Luoluo didn’t understand but felt the curse was truly vicious.

Grandma used to say that you shouldn’t hit someone in the face when you hit them, nor should you curse someone to be without offspring when you berate them.

"So after you heard that, you wanted to retaliate against your godfather in this way?" Suizi asked.

The twins nodded together.

It was a scheme hatched together by the boy and girl twins; they thought if they shipped all the vegetables over, and then go to the institute director to say that these aunties were gathering together and not working, allowing even kindergarten children to sneak into the Research Institute and steal vegetables.

This was the most "vicious" form of revenge that kindergarten children could come up with.

But the result was somewhat like injuring the enemy by a thousand and losing eight hundred of themselves, the damaged cabbage had all been bought back by Suizi, and they were also scolded by their mother.

"So, when you asked me for the binoculars yesterday, it was for this?"

To observe when no one was looking and take the opportunity to act.

Bobo continued to nod.

"When did those women curse your godfather?"

"Last Friday, I remember it all!" Luoluo’s little fists clenched.

When she and her brother heard these aunties gossiping, they already wanted to rush out and fight, but she was still young and couldn’t beat adults.

After returning, the two children began to ponder and came up with a set of methods.

Suizi remembered that, indeed, in the past few days the children had been squatting in front of the sand fortress, drawing with little sticks, so they were actually studying the topographical map?

"Truly my offspring, loyal and protective of the family, good job," Yu Jingting proudly patted the two children, nearly hugging and kissing each of them.

Such traits of the Yu Family were blatantly obvious in these two children; so young and yet they already knew to be chivalrous and protect their own—surely when they grew up, they would be united and strong. How could he and Suizi worry about lacking successors?

Suizi did approve of the children’s intent towards their godfather, but being their mother, she couldn’t openly praise such behavior. She had to address the issue from the perspective of safety and casually lectured them a bit.

The main point was that climbing on rooftops was dangerous. What if they fell?

As for the motive of revenge against the auntie, Suizi didn’t even bring it up.

She and Yu Jingting had invested so much effort into their children’s education, with the goal of nurturing them to become pillars of the country and useful to society. They hoped their children would use their abilities to make the world a better place.

If they remained indifferent even when their own family was insulted, how could they hope for their children to love this world?

"In any case, before you do anything in the future, think about safety. You cannot hurt others, and even more so, you cannot harm yourselves. Tonight before you go to bed, come to my room. Tell me all the dangerous behaviors you can think of," Suizi said lightly, then stood up and walked toward the kitchen.

"Is that all...?" Luoluo was a bit incredulous.

She was fully prepared for a spanking, but instead, her mother finished with just a few words?

Bobo was also surprised.

The self-critique he prepared in advance was 200 words long.

For a kindergarten child, such a long self-critique was a work of painstaking effort!

And now, it wasn’t needed?

Suizi turned around, feigning severity, "What, you wanted me to spank you?"

The two children shrank their necks in unison, cutely shaking their heads.

Suizi turned back again, her face filled with a smile.

Two hundred catties of cabbage; the children really did work hard.

She would make a hotpot for them tonight to replenish their energy.

"Dad, is Mommy not angry anymore?" Luoluo waited until Suizi had gone into the house and still felt uneasy, asking Yu Jingting.

Yu Jingting shrugged his shoulders.

"Your account should be settled for now," he said.

But his own probably wasn’t over yet.

From what he knew of that little lady, he expected to be bitten and nagged at by her later tonight.

Women are like that—saying one thing but meaning another.

Deep down she was extremely pleased with the two children, yet she still had to put on an act and say all their faults came from him, and so on.

But he was not someone to be easily provoked—Yu Jingting had a deviously self-satisfied look. If she dared to make a fuss, he’d pin her down and mete out justice then and there. Honestly, he was just too fierce!

To the two children, that expression looked like nothing but bad intentions. It was exactly how the big villains on TV would smirk.

"But Daddy, we’re still angry. Godfather is so nice, how come people still say such things about him?" Luoluo pouted her little mouth.

"Those commoners are simply not on the same level as your godfather. What do they know? Stop fussing, Mommy and Daddy will avenge your godfather—"

Before Yu Jingting could finish his whisper, Suizi called out from the kitchen, "Don’t talk nonsense to the children! Come in and help!"

Yu Jingting winked at the two children, extending his little finger.

Pinkie promise, this is a secret just between us guys.
