Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Nuclear Energy Ahead (Thanks to JOjo Xu Xiaozhen+Update)

Chen Lijun burnt her first love’s grain stack and scratched his face all over.

If it weren’t for others holding her back, she could have thrown him into the river to feed the fish.

After all these, she refused to see her first love even when he came to apologize several times.

Later, Chen Lijun got a strange disease and vomited blood.

Just then, her first love came to see her. Seeing her coughing blood into a handkerchief, he thought she had tuberculosis and ran away in fright.

At that time, they couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Seeing her vomit blood, it was deemed serious, and no man dared to take her, regardless of her good looks.

During her illness, Chen Kaide sent her millet porridge. After some time, she mysteriously got better and considered Chen Kaide a reliable man, so she married him.

Suizi heard these past anecdotes for the first time and found them unbelievable.

Could her mother, an exceptionally smart woman in her memory, be this naive?

Marrying out of gratitude... and picking such a poor man? Is intelligence a pathway to stupidity?

"Would the mother-in-law have married Chen Kaide if she hadn’t overthought? Of course, we should thank her for marrying him — " Where else could he find such a great wife?

"When it comes to women, you should listen halfway and reserve the rest." Suizi guessed that this was not the whole truth.

There must have been a hidden story behind the marriage back then.

Yu Jingting always said that Suizi thought too much, but she felt that her own thoughts were not even half of what her mother had.

"Don’t talk like that about our mom—" Yu Jingting’s words were cut off midway when he got scared by Suizi’s piercing look.

Immediately changing his approach, he said, "Go ahead, keep reprimanding! She deserves the blame for not bringing you along!"

"Are you my husband or her son? How could you say good things about her?"

"..." Yu Jingting thought to himself, being your husband and her son-in-law, doesn’t that make me half a son? Rounding up, that’s practically one whole son.

With only Suizi as their child, in the future, it will still be Suizi and him who will take care of her mother-in-law; that also makes him a son.

However, Yu Jingting would never utter those words that could infuriate Suizi.

"When it comes to moving into city, I need to think about it. But whether we’re moving or not, you must promise me one thing—" Then, she was interrupted by shouts from outside the courtyard.

"Brother Jing!"

Suizi looked outside and saw several familiar faces standing in the courtyard.

They’re Yu Jingting’s buddies who he normally fiddled away the time with under the big tree.

Their voices were quite urgent, and they kept yelling.

Suizi squinted, seeing clearly that they were all holding various tools like pickaxes and sickles — even one of them had a bandaged head with blood seeping through it.

What were they up to?!

An alarm went off in Suizi’s mind.

Yu Jingting hopped off the heated platform and he immediately went out, followed by her.

"Brother Jing, those sons of bitches from the neighboring village took our rabbit trap and made off with several of our rabbits. When we went to confront them, they beat up our guys!"

"Blood for blood!"

"Brother Jing, you must stand up for us!"

There was a loud chorus of angry voices below, all waving their sickles and pickaxes, resembling a scene out of a peasant uprising.

The sight of this made Suizi’s head spin.

For goodness’ sake.

They were planning a damn gang fight with the neighboring village!!!

Upon hearing this, Yu Jingting’s face immediately went pale. With a side glance from Suizi, she could sense that his whole body was exuding the aura of a kingpin.

With his followers ardently shouting "Boss" and firing up, Yu Jingting suavely swung his cotton jacket in the air, slipped his arms through the sleeves, instantly intensifying his boss-like presence.

Suizi swore, this seemingly effortless and impressive move, he must have practiced countless times in the woods.

The young man was so full of vigor he simply couldn’t contain it. When an outsider was bullying a villager, was there any way he could stand by?

"Wait, let me grab a tool." Yu Jingting said, striding towards the warehouse.

His family’s warehouse was a small brick house, designed cost-effectively without even a window.

The door was made of heavy iron sheet and the inside was filled with farming tools. Yu Jingting entered and headed straight for the pickaxe.

Suizi watched him from behind, her blood pressure rising accordingly.

If this thing hits someone, wouldn’t it cripple them?

Looking at Yu Jingting’s manner, it was clear he intended to rally the villagers and start a group fight, not stopping until his purpose was accomplished.

The New Year was only a couple of months away. If this continued, the two villages were bound to become enemies.

All the young lads staying at home for the winter had no other business to attend to, so their pent-up energy found release in these group fights for the so-called sake of righteousness. For these hooligans, this was the best possible stress relief.

The thing is, Suizi wasn’t sure whether their families would have the same spike in blood pressure as her.

For every hooligan, there was a worried parent.

As Suizi watched Yu Jingting pick up the pickaxe, she quickly grabbed the lock hanging from the large iron door, kicked the door shut before he could react, and snapped it shut. Ka-chak!

Yu Jingting: ????

The brothers outside the courtyard: ????

Three seconds later, the "tiger" trapped in the warehouse finally reacted.

"Open the door, what are you playing at?!"

"Oh, I slipped and accidentally touched the lock. It seems to be broken and I can’t open it." Suizi shouted back purposefully in a loud voice.

The brothers outside: Are you treating us like idiots?

Under the gaze of all, the highest educated woman in the village had, in front of everyone, locked the toughest man in the village in the warehouse using the flimsiest lock.

Steam was practically coming out of Yu Jingting’s head as he kicked the iron door hard enough to dent it.

Watching his kick, Suizi’s heart skipped a beat.

Oh God, how terrifying.

Even though she’s no longer afraid of him in this life, seeing such a ferocious man can still make your heart flutter.

However, after the shock, she felt... sort of exhilarated.

Wang Cuihua came over at the noise, but before she fully understood the situation, her son was already roaring like a beast from inside the warehouse.

"Bring the key and let me out!"

His intimidating roar made his followers take a step back.

Yu Jingting was only proclaimed their boss because of his rugged fighting spirit and his irritable temper was well known to everyone.

"What’s going on?" Wang Cuihua asked.

Suizi leaned in and whispered into her ear.

Wang Cuihua slapped her thigh with approval, her gaze expressing her thousand times admiration for her daughter-in-law.

Well done!

This naughty boy, leave him alone for a second and he was already causing trouble. If she had let him out, it would have been a disaster.

Wang Cuihua had given countless pieces of advice and broken too many brooms over her son’s head, but none of that controlled him.

The parenting problem that had been bothering Wang Cuihua for many years was solved by Suizi with a simple lock.

"Brothers, my house’s lock has no key, it will take time to unlock. It seems he can’t go with you today. But I promise you, if someone from the neighboring village has hit us and taken our rabbit, my man will make it up to you tomorrow. For now, let’s all go home."

Suizi talked everyone into leaving with a few words.

In the warehouse, Yu Jingting’s roars continued.

The followers dispersing from the scene were not only disappointed that Yu Jingting couldn’t stand up for them but were also worried about Yu Jingting’s new wife.

Didn’t the woman just throw herself into hot water with the whole village?

Once the boss was out, would she be any better off?
