Chapter 96: Chapter 96: I Treat You as a Brother but You Covet My Maiden

"What’s a street rat?" Mother Chen asked in confusion.

"Hooligan," Chen Lijun considered for a moment, but using ’hooligan’ to describe Yu Jingting seemed inappropriate, "That brat, you could say he’s the local ruffian."

Using ’ruffian’ to describe a man like Yu Jingting, who treated play as work and work as play, seemed most fitting.

Mother Chen’s heart lurched, it didn’t sound like he was a good person, did it?

Father Chen scoffed, his face said it all ’I knew it would be like this’.

"Following her useless mother, she brought this on herself. She deserves it."

It was less a criticism of Suizi and more airing of old grievances with Chen Lijun.

"How many times did I tell you before you went to the countryside? I told you not to pick a farmer. But you just wouldn’t listen and gave birth to this...this...Ah!"

Chen Lijun raised a porcelain bowl filled with soybean paste over her head emotionlessly making Father Chen turn pale.

"It’s from the Yuan Dynasty! Put it down quickly!"

Chen Lijun placed the bowl on the table, Father Chen continued to ramble on.

"If she wants to marry, let her marry. When she’s mistreated and beaten every day, she’ll realize her mistake. We can find her a second husband then, no matter whether he’s a soldier, farmer or a villager, we just need to get it over with. At that point, she should sever all ties with you, not expecting a cent from this family. She doesn’t deserve it!"

Chen Lijun’s glasses flashed coldly, and she swept everything, bowl and plates, off the table.

Everything smashed and scattered across the floor.

Father Chen held his chest, his eyes wide in shock at the mess on the floor.

His Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain!

"It slipped," Chen Lijun stood up gracefully, grabbing a stack of newspapers and went inside her room.

"Ah! Old Chen, what’s wrong with you!"

The father who had a heart attack from the shock and the mother who was in a panic were all shut out of the room by Chen Lijun.

Chen Lijun stared at the letter, wishing she could burn holes into the character for ’husband’.

She had calculated all sorts of possibilities but never did she expect her daughter to get married at this time, and to hitch herself to such a...

Thinking of that street rat from the Yu family, full of brazen audacity and daredevil courage, Chen Lijun’s temples throbbed.

That little wretch Chen Hansui, she really knew how to stir up trouble.

Mother Chen came in after knocking.

"You make your father so angry that he has a heart attack, why do you always have to go against him? If you really worry about the child, once things have quieted down here, we can bring her over."

"Bring her over? That’s not possible now." Chen Lijun mocked. Could that little rat Yu Jingting spit out the meat he’d already bitten off?

"The man Suizi married, is he really that bad?" Mother Chen could guess from her daughter’s anxious face that Suizi’s man wasn’t easy to deal with.

"Speaking of which, you had me prepare a lot of local specialties, saying they were for an acquaintance in Dongbei to help take care of Hansui. Why not let him go to scare off that street rat, so he doesn’t bully Suizi?" Mother Chen suddenly remembered.

Chen Lijun had said that she had a friend in Dongbei, a young man with considerable power who could look after Hansui so she wouldn’t be bullied.

"Just give the gifts to the dogs, no need to send them."

"Didn’t you say that your brother is very loyal and as long as he accepts the gifts, he would definitely take care of Hansui?"

"He took care of my daughter alright, right onto his kang (bed)!" Chen Lijun slapped the table angrily.

Mother Chen was shocked and her mouth hung open. Was it possible that...

"That brother whom you praised to the high heavens..."

"Turns out he’s a goddamned bastard!"

From being hailed as a great friend to becoming a goddamned bastard, the entire transition owed itself to Suizi.

Before Yu Jingting hooked up with her daughter, Chen Lijun had quite high opinion about him.

After her return, she had several times mentioned this young man to her mother, praising his unusual perception, decisive action, and his rare sense of loyalty, even suggesting that he had the makings of a great leader.

Given the chance, sooner or later he would stand out, he was certainly not a common man.

His mother, Wang Cuihua, was a close friend to Chen Lijun.

Thus, Chen Lijun was never worried about Suizi being bullied by Chen Kaide and his hideous woman.

She just wanted to get through this transitional phase, then have Suizi back with her.

But, they’ve missed out on something crucial, it was completely unexpected.

That punk actually seduced her maiden!

"You were just now praising him and his mother."

"He’s good when it comes to doing business, but to marry my maiden...yuck!"

Chen Lijun thought of Yu Jingting, always getting into fights with a group of people, and remembered how timid Suizi was, her head was spinning.

"They’re not even the same type of people, why get into the same bed?!"

It seems she needs to find time to return once more.

While Chen Lijun was thinking about how to break up this mismatched pair, Suizi and Yu Jingting were wrapped up in a thick quilt, lying lazily in bed.

Today is the weekend, no classes, it wasn’t enough for Yu Jingting to laze around in bed, he wished for Suizi to join him.

Suizi tried to get up several times to make breakfast, but he kept snuggling in bed, insisting that she lay with him a while longer.

Fortunately, Wang Cuihua was a considerate mother-in-law. Seeing that Suizi hadn’t gotten up on time, she made breakfast and kept it warm, then went out for a walk.

"What if mother-in-law thinks I’m a lazy daughter-in-law? Look, at this time of morning, whose house hasn’t opened the curtains?" Suizi nudged him.

The clock on the wall showed it was already half-past seven, and it was considered very late in the village. Any household still covering their windows would be gossiped about.

Yu Jingting closed his eyes, and cuddled his sweet-smelling wife lazily.

"No other families have as good-looking a wife as you for them to want to stay in bed. Also, isn’t Jiaojiao always sleeping in too? The laziest one in the village is her. Let them laugh at her!"

"Brother! I heard that!" Jiaojiao’s voice came through the door panel, she was about to wash her face when she heard her brother badmouthing her.

"Here are two cents, go buy some candy." Yu Jingting, discontented with the light bulb in the house, tried to send his sister away with money.

"I’ll only leave for five cents. Otherwise, I will stay home this morning and let my sister-in-law help me with homework!"

"Are you bargaining? At most, three cents!"

A small crack opened in the door and Yu Jingting threw out three cents.

Picking up the money, Jiaojiao hopped out enthusiastically. Suizi quickly sat up and, through the window, she shouted after Jiaojiao:

"Come back! Have your breakfast before—mum!"

Before she could finish her sentence, the mischievous Yu Jingting dragged her back into bed for more cuddling.

He had to feel satisfied; at least the three cents used to send Jiaojiao away was well spent.

"I feel bad for Jiaojiao. How can you be such a careless brother? She’s growing up, how can she skip breakfast?! Hurry up and bring her back!"

"She’ll come back on her own when she’s hungry, leave her be."

Suizi poked at his abs, trying to teach this jerk a lesson on Jiaojiao’s behalf.

Looking at Yu Jingting’s firm abs, Suizi felt envious.

As a man, how could his waist be slimmer than hers?

His abs were really good-looking, making her want to pinch them.

"Do you deserve some punishment? Who was it crying last night, begging me to let her go? It seems like you’re really full of energy now!"

Yu Jingting’s eyes darkened, ready to lure his wife back to bed for some activity that won’t harm their child or his desire, an untimely voice was heard from outside the courtyard.

"Is this Yu Jingting’s home?"

Suizi was taken aback. A southern accent?
