Chapter 897: Chapter 897 Suizi Has Got Me Completely Under Control

Fan Huang gave Suizi a stack of hot spring invitation coupons, which Suizi managed to arrange for everyone.

In addition to their own family members, she also invited Little Fatty’s family of three.

The remaining coupons, she invited Chen Lun’s family of three, two of Chen Lijun’s sisters-in-law, and the couple Chen He, who had just sent their son to the Working School.

The last few were left to Jiaojiao’s discretion, who gave them to three female classmates she often hung out with, including Liu Meimei.

A group of them chartered a minibus and set off in a grand procession.

Chen He and his wife were listless and lacked energy, having been distressed since their son was sent away, Suizi had them come over to unwind.

Chen He, trying to muster some energy, discussed business matters with Yu Jingting; their pig farm had been thriving recently, and Chen He wanted to expand and keep up the momentum, but Yu Jingting just said there was no rush for now, and suggested waiting and seeing.

Suizi accompanied her mother in consoling Chen He’s wife, whose health wasn’t great, and having sent her son to the Working School was also a blow to her. Suizi had already done a lot of convincing with her, and now she was gradually accepting the reality.

The Siye played with Little Luobo while Wang Cuihua and Jiaojiao chatted with their classmates, with Liu Meimei sitting by the window, restless and uneasy.

She had gotten small-time hooligans to block Jiaojiao, thinking that Jiaojiao had no clue, but she could feel Jiaojiao’s indifference towards her.

Even though she was invited this time, the other two girls were the ones chatting with Jiaojiao.

In fact, Jiaojiao had no shortage of friends usually, but it was always Liu Meimei who clung to Jiaojiao. Now, with Jiaojiao suddenly not being close to her, Liu Meimei felt a psychological gap materialize.

Everyone was engaged in their own conversations, with Chen Lijun’s two sisters-in-law sitting in the back of the bus, whispering in each other’s ears.

"Why would Lijun suddenly think of us?"

They weren’t particularly close to Chen Lijun usually, and while they couldn’t be said to be enemies, there was certainly a significant distance between them.

So, being invited for no apparent reason, the two sisters-in-law couldn’t help but speculate.

"Who knows, but Lijun does look a bit thin, don’t you think? Could it be malnutrition? The woman from the courtyard in front of my house is at the same stage of pregnancy and is much bigger, and that family’s daughter-in-law is messing around with the father-in-law..."

The sisters-in-law started off whispering, but later on, they just spoke openly and gossiped, stretching the truth beyond belief, with a touch of magical realism in their tales.

Wang Cuihua was originally happily playing with the child but started to get a headache from the incessant chatter of the two gossipers behind her.

Unable to bear it, she leaned in and quietly asked Suizi, "Why did you invite them, they’re too noisy."

Even Wang Cuihua, a seasoned gossip enthusiast, could hardly stand the two sisters-in-law, which goes to show just how gossipy they were.

Suizi blinked, implying that if they weren’t noisy, then they wouldn’t have been called.

For Suizi’s family, this hot spring trip was about relaxation and leisure, but for some, it was a battlefield. Without a couple of human-shaped loudspeakers to spread the gossip, how would they achieve the desired effect?

Suizi had carefully arranged the seating on the bus, placing Chen Lun and Liu Meimei in the same row, with an aisle between them.

Initially, Chen Lun was wary of Yu Jingting and sat up straight.

But the bus had not been on the road for half an hour before he couldn’t resist any longer and started exchanging glances with Liu Meimei.

Jiaojiao and Suizi, sitting behind him, observed all the flirting between him and Liu Meimei.

Jiaojiao felt disgusted inside, as Liu Meimei had lied to her, claiming she had completely broken off with Chen Lun.

She had even said that it was Chen Lun who had deceived her, which led to her pregnancy.

Broken off my ass!

Those two were full of drama in their eyes, and it was all an illicit affair!

Suizi watched Jiaojiao puff up like a little fighting cock, amused to no end.

Good, this live example of the drawbacks of puppy love was perfect for Jiaojiao and Little Fatty to learn from.

The Hot Springs Resort was in the suburbs, and after driving for more than an hour, they arrived.

Though it was called a resort, it was actually a Nursing Home, catering to retired officials. The environment couldn’t compare to the luxury of later generations, but it won the battle on cleanliness and tranquility.

Suizi arranged rooms for everyone, deliberately putting two of Jiaojiao’s three classmates in one room, and specifically gave Liu Meimei a single room.

There was a reason behind the room assignments.

On the left is Chen Lun’s family of three, and on the right are two gossipy sisters-in-law.

It was Jiaojiao who had Suizi arrange this, obviously looking to stir up trouble.

After arriving at the destination, Chen Lijun was somewhat tired and lay down to catch up on sleep.

The others organized their luggage and went to soak in the hot springs.

Back then, they didn’t have those fancy hot springs with all the assorted pools like red wine or ginseng pools; nothing like that existed.

The hot spring pool was set up outdoors, similar to a big bathhouse, where both men and women mixed together, soaking in swimwear.

Suizi didn’t want to squeeze in with everyone, so she began scrubbing the bathtub in her room.

The bathroom here also used hot spring water, so soaking in the room was the same.

Bringing her own disinfectant, she first disinfected her mother’s, her in-laws’, and Jiaojiao’s rooms in turn, before moving on to disinfect her own.

Yu Jingting sat cross-legged on the bed watching her hustle.

"The water here comes from the residual heat of magma beneath the granite bedrock, which makes the temperature much higher than other hot springs and has a sterilizing effect. Wouldn’t that be more effective than your disinfectant?"

Suizi was the type who would adamantly refuse to bathe in a public bathhouse, and she wouldn’t let Yu Jingting bathe in one either.

She wouldn’t say it directly, but would seem to inadvertently chat with him about someone who contracted some disease after soaking in a public bath.

And none of the diseases were light: athlete’s foot, skin infections, you name it—she’d mention them all.

It wasn’t until Yu Jingting promised never to soak in one again that these distressing pieces of news completely vanished from their home.

Yu Jingting strongly suspected that his wife had a touch of germophobia.

After disinfecting the bathtub, Suizi swapped out the slippers and towels for her own, and even changed the bedsheets, duvet covers, and pillowcases, only then straightening her back, looking around in satisfaction, and casually answering his question.

"Disinfecting gives a peace of mind, doesn’t it? Our family, except for the pregnant woman and the children, needs to be extra cautious. Later, go check if Jiaojiao’s duvet cover has been changed properly."

Yu Jingting pursed his lips.

Those other families only brought a small package of change of clothes for the trip, but his wife behaved as if fleeing a disaster, packing a set of bedding for every room they opened, the car trunk filled with stuff from their home.

Suizi’s gaze swept around the room and finally landed on Yu Jingting.

To be exact, on Yu Jingting’s boxer shorts.

From the moment he entered, he had been entertaining some naughty thoughts, having taken off his pants and sitting on the bed in his boxers, striking poses.

He was aiming to entice Suizi with his muscular figure, hoping for an eager wolf to pounce on a hungry sheep.

But this young lady, upon entering, had started to clean up furiously, not even glancing at him.

Seeing Suizi staring at his boxers, Yu Jingting’s hand immediately moved towards the elastic waistband, ready to get straight to the point!

"You just sat on the bed with the unchanged sheets. Go take a shower and put on a new pair of boxers."

"...." Yu Jingting was full of complaints in his heart, feeling that his germophobic lady was being too much!

With the mindset of defying her, Yu Jingting intended to roll around on the bed she had just made.

"Diseases enter through the mouth; it’s essential to keep things clean, understood?"

With Suizi’s double entendre, Yu Jingting instantly perked up.

Humming a tune, he made a beeline for the bathroom, thoroughly putty in her hands.

He cleaned himself from head to toe with the fastest speed and then Yu Jingting, wrapped in a bath towel, burst out of the bathroom.

Huh, where’s his wife?

Standing in the empty room, Jingting, wrapped in a bath towel, saw a large line of text flash through his mind:

He’d been hoodwinked!
