I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 902: So It Was This Thing

Chapter 902: Chapter 902: So It Was This Thing

The boy and girl twins were extremely interested in soaking in the bath; their little skins were almost wrinkled.

If they were not in the room, they must be in the pool.

Suizi was about to go look for them in the pool when Wang Cuihua returned, leading the twins with her, grumbling and complaining.

"What happened?" Suizi asked.

"Get rid of Jiaojiao’s classmate right away! If you’re not going to find a car, I’ll pay for it myself; even if I have to hire a donkey cart, I’ll send her back!"

Wang Cuihua has a quick temper and can’t keep anything to herself.

Seeing the situation, the two little carrots hurriedly hugged Grandma’s arms from both sides, cooing:

"He’s angry at me, but I’m not angry!"

"Anger brings sickness, and no one can replace me!"

This back-and-forth banter managed to amuse Wang Cuihua, turning her anger into laughter, as she tugged the little ones and kissed their small cheeks.

"What mischief has she caused now?" Suizi was curious but felt a bit "impressed" inside.

Liu Meimei is also a "talent," managing to offend her mother-in-law and mother at the same time within a short period. It is rare to see someone so disagreeable.

"I was soaking inside when the kids were playing outside. That girl went over to them, then she started crying. She came to me claiming that our kids had bullied her."

Wang Cuihua would never believe such a claim.

"Our kids are just in kindergarten--"

Wang Cuihua intended to say how could kindergarten kids possibly bully a middle schooler, but probably remembering the "cabbage transportation on the rooftop ramp" incident changed her line of reasoning.

"Would they lay a hand on someone without being provoked?"

Liu Meimei specifically chose a time when there were many people around to approach Wang Cuihua, crying and wailing that the twins had pushed her and almost made her fall. She also adamantly accused the twins of placing thumbtacks in her shoes.

To say that two kindergarten kids pushed her was already ridiculous, but the accusation of planting thumbtacks was simply malevolent.

Suizi frowned; she did not believe her children would suppress others by using thumbtacks.

She knelt down to ask the kids.

"Tell Mommy the whole story from start to finish. I want to hear the entire process."

Although it is difficult for children of this age to recount an event fully, Suizi’s children have always had a strong memory and better language skills than most kids, so it isn’t too far-fetched.

"Mommy, we didn’t do anything," Luoluo said.

Bobo nodded in agreement.

"It was her speaking ill of Auntie—actually, I can’t decide if it was really bad or not."

Liu Meimei didn’t directly insult Jiaojiao, but her words dripped with sarcasm.

Initially, she indirectly told her classmates that Jiaojiao showing off by inviting them to play because she had money was just showing off and pretending to be rich at everyone’s expense.

Seeing that those classmates ignored her, she switched the topic to last night’s barbecue.

Just then, the nearby playing twins overheard her.

"What exactly were her words?" Yu Jingting asked.

"She said that she wasn’t invited to the barbecue last night, and she didn’t dare say too much in front of Auntie for fear that Auntie would overthink and become angry at her."

The two classmates who came with her didn’t react very quickly; they were probably used to interacting with kind people and would find that kind of sarcasm odd upon first hearing it but couldn’t quite put their finger on what was wrong.

Unable to refute her, those classmates pretended not to hear.

The twins might not have fully understood Liu Meimei’s intent, but they vaguely felt that those words weren’t nice.

The twins exchanged a glance, and then, Luoluo’s water balloon went flying straight at Liu Meimei.

Wang Cuihua had filled a basin with water balloons for the kids, and it all came to use here.

"After bursting the water balloon, what then? Did you push her? Did you put thumbtacks?" Suizi asked.

Both children shook their heads together.

"Mom, she had an aura of black energy. How could we possibly touch her? If she hadn’t mentioned the little aunt, I wouldn’t have wanted to throw it at her..." Luoluo lowered her head, dejected, "What a waste of my water balloon."

"I can fill more for you guys later. We’ve got plenty!" Yu Jingting, not one to nickel and dime, openly supported actions like paying back in kind that aligned with the family’s style.

Only then did the children begin to cheer up, but they still looked toward Suizi.

"Mom believes in you," Suizi stroked the children’s hair, "but in the future, when you see people with this kind of dark, inauspicious energy, it’s best to stay far away, or find Dad and Mom to handle it."

She was just short of saying something like "avoid being tainted by bad luck."

Reassured by their mother’s trust, the boy and girl twins then begged their father to continue filling water balloons.

"Get that girl who spews nothing but lies out of here right now! What kind of family raises such a thing?"

Wang Cuihua was very concerned about her precious grandchildren being defamed.

"Unrighteous deeds will bring about one’s self-destruction; she will have bad luck herself, there’s no need for us to send her off purposely."

Suizi was now getting a clearer sense of the children’s abilities.

They seemed to be able to sense the presence of "energy." Ordinary people didn’t have it. Those who were wealthy or powerful had a special glow, as did those who were unlucky, though theirs was black.

Suizi had once asked the children if she and Yu Jingting had any, and the children shook their heads.

Dad and Mom can’t see it, it’s not that they don’t have it, but that they can’t see it, probably because this ability has its limits with close relatives.

Thinking about what Luoluo said, Suizi guessed that Liu Meimei was likely in for some bad luck.

"What’s with kids these days? Jiaojiao kindly invited her to play, and she goes and pulls such an ugly trick, still has the nerve to spread bad rumors about Jiaojiao. She truly is an ungrateful wretch," cursed Wang Cuihua.

"How else can she highlight her ’innocence’ if she doesn’t spread bad rumors about Jiaojiao? She’s indeed smart, too bad she’s using her smarts in all the wrong ways."

Suizi had already guessed what Liu Meimei was planning to do.

She’d use the barbecue incident to stir up trouble and direct all the hatred toward Jiaojiao, thereby covering up her own scandal with Chen Lun.

Neither of those two students were present when the affair was caught.

Although Jiaojiao hadn’t mentioned this incident to the two classmates afterward, Liu Meimei, being overly scheming, feared that Jiaojiao might eventually talk about it at school, so she struck first to besmirch Jiaojiao relentlessly.

Suizi shared all these analyses with Wang Cuihua, shocking her for an entire year.

"Have kids these days become that crafty? They’ve just got too much cunning, haven’t they?"

"Who cares whether it’s too much or too little, evil never triumphs over good. Her tricks won’t have any impact on Jiaojiao."

Suizi had a lot of confidence in the child she had raised.

She hadn’t seen Jiaojiao yet today. She and Little Fatty were nowhere to be seen, probably off plotting something together.

Suizi was pleased to see this, if the children weren’t asking her for help, it meant everything was under control.

Wang Cuihua chatted with Suizi for a while longer, and as dinner time approached, Yu Jingting and the kids still hadn’t returned.

"How can it take so long to fill a water balloon? Did they fall into a water pit?" Just as Wang Cuihua was about to go look for them, she heard screams from outside.

"Ah!!!"

It was Liu Meimei!

Suizi raised an eyebrow. Had Jiaojiao made her move? That didn’t seem right. She assumed Jiaojiao would wait until she got back home to take action.

"Oh, what a coincidence," Yu Jingting’s hearty laughter came through the door.

Suizi rolled her eyes. So it was him!
