I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 99: Surprise or Not

Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Surprise or Not

"So, guess what I’m going to say next?" Suizi felt that the two of them were really in tune.

Yu Jingting pondered again, satisfied, saying:

"Soft."

If they continued to let him compliment, he would run out of words.

All he could do was to display his affection by munching on it a few times.

"Exactly! It’s all about finding the weak points of the troublemakers!"

"..." Something seemed off?

To Suizi, Yu Jingting’s silence was filled with profound meaning.

She was totally oblivious to the fact that they were talking about two different things.

"Some relatives treat you like a pushover if you’re nice to them. To keep them in check, you have to find their weak points. Take Mrs. Big for instance, after all her hustle and bustle, when she finds out that we earn even more than her, she’s bound to cause trouble — Jingting, let’s make a bet? I bet she’s definitely going to stir up something. If I win, you will..."

Give the countless descendants of the Yu family a break!

"Hmm, let’s bet."

Suizi’s mouth fell open slightly; she couldn’t believe happiness could come so suddenly.

"You’re really betting? For a week....you’re betting too?" Is this really her energetic husband that could never resist a bargain?!

Yu Jingting stood up, palms together in prayer, chanting Buddha’s name with a tranquil expression of a Zen master.

"My good lady, I no longer harbor those earthly desires for you."

This expression of asceticism almost convinced Suizi.

She felt that something was up.

Yu Jingting glanced at her, noticing her suspicion, casually grabbed Jiaojiao’s school bag from the kang bed, and tore a piece of her homework out.

He took a pen, quickly wrote down the terms of the bet that Suizi had just described, and coolly signed his own name afterwards.

"My good lady, please sign as well."

Suizi snatched the paper, speechless.

"This Zen master, you better prepare some money."

"Does my good lady want to beg alms from me?"

"You tore Jiaojiao’s homework, she’s going to be livid when she gets home. Soothe her with some money, show off your money-spending skills!"

"...May good luck be with you, my lady, I’m off to try my luck in the world and harness that monster Holly~"

The man, who had stirred up trouble, moved to make a quick escape, brushing past Jiaojiao, who had just returned with some candy.

"Bro, want some candy?"

Suizi looked at Jiaojiao with sympathy, and the innocent little girl extended her hand, offering to share with her brother.

Yu Jingting snatched a piece of candy and, without looking back, walked out of the courtyard.

"What’s wrong with my brother?"

"Well, a man without worldly desires tore up your homework."

After a brief silence, Jiaojiao leaped up and charged out of the house.

Above the small courtyard of the Yu family, Jiaojiao’s roar echoed:

"Yu Tiegen! Spit out my candy! I won’t give you any more!"

At the end of the road, Yu Jingting’s voice faded:

"Little Monster~ It’s impossible to spit it out, but I can poop it out for you!"

Jiaojiao was so angry that her little face puffed up. Like a small whirlwind, she rushed into the house, picked up the radio, ready to smash it.

The radio was broadcasting a Journey to the West story, which might explain why Yu Jingting keep calling himself a monk and her a "Little Monster".

So annoying!

"Little Monster, you can’t take it out on the radio! It’s innocent, go smash Yu Jingting instead!"

Suizi hurriedly rescued the precious family property.

"Sister-in-law, Suizi! How can you call me Little Monster Clump too!!!"

Suizi looked at the two small clumps Jiaojiao had combed on her head. Some fine stray hairs swayed when she got angry, so cute.

Jingting is really good at capturing people’s features.

"Don’t be angry, look, what’s this?" Suizi pulled out a headband from her pocket as if by magic.

"Isn’t this the elastic headband that I gave you - huh?!" Jiaojiao’s little face lit up.

The elastic headband was a wedding gift from Jiaojiao to Suizi, bought with all the pocket money she had saved.

The 20-year-old Suizi couldn’t possibly wear such a childish thing when she got married, so it was tucked away in the luggage.

Jiaojiao was hurt.

After her rebirth, Suizi has been constantly searching for this precious wedding gift, and finally found it.

She slightly modified it and turned it into a bracelet and two headbands.

The color was still the garish red, with a small woolen cherry hook attached. The plump and round little cherry, combined with the small green leaves, couldn’t be cuter.

"These two headbands are for you, and I will wear this bracelet. Look, the woolen cherry on the bracelet matches the one on your head, so anyone who sees us will know we’re family."

Family. Jiaojiao’s eyes turned moist. The previous misgivings about Suizi abandoning the gift disappeared, she wanted to cry, but felt a little embarrassed.

"Come on, let’s put this on Little Monster Clump. Whose child is this pretty?"

Suizi put the headband on Jiaojiao, who immediately grinned through her tears, gently touching it, swaying her head, her big eyes swaying back and forth with the small clump.

This was something Suizi had crocheted during her break, just to surprise Jiaojiao.

"I should go out and show everyone. Nobody has something this nice!"

Children are easy to satisfy, and she was so happy she almost flew. She always wanted to show off to her friends when she had a good thing.

Running to the door, and then turning back, poking half her head out, she said bashfully to Suizi:

"Thank you, sister-in-law... I like it."

The girl’s face turned red after she spoke, and before Suizi could respond, she ran away.

Suizi was smiling. Seeing Jiaojiao so happy was worth crocheting this even if Jingting had complained about it.

Jingting said he didn’t want his pregnant wife staying up late crocheting things, fearing it would strain her eyes.

But Suizi suspected that he was just jealous that she had only made one for Jiaojiao and herself, and none for him.

What could a grown man do with these things, it’s not like he’s a gourd baby-

A thought flashed through Suizi’s mind. She’d made four, with only one left over?

Suddenly, she had a great idea.

Jingting had been busy outside all day, and when he came back at night, he washed up while sharing updates with Suizi.

He had taken care of the villagers today.

These days, everyone has been rushing to gather herbs, from initial enthusiasm to despair when they couldn’t sell them, and then suddenly finding a buyer. The emotional roller coaster was intense.

Jingting told others that the Medicine Factory offered 1.5 taels, which was not as high as the previous 3 taels, but it was still 5 points higher than the drug dealer’s price.

Everyone was happy to accept this price.

Jingting, following Suizi’s methodology, had made everything clear to Uncle Tiegen. Now when Uncle Tiegen saw Jingting, he no longer called him Tiegen but ’nephew’.

The villagers and Uncle thought they’d got the better of Jingting, unaware that Jingting was the real winner.

"You’ve been busy all day, and I guess your mother can’t sit still. There should be some action tomorrow. The wager we made, looks like it’s starting to come true."

Suizi can’t help but grin at the thought of winning.

"Hmm." Jingting’s dark eyes flickered. Who could have the last laugh, nobody knew yet. Let’s let this beautiful wife of mine gloat for the night."

"Wife, hand me the clean underwear."

Taking the green underwear that Suizi had handed him, he was speechless.

Who could tell him what those two red balls of wool sticking to the waistband were?!

Suizi pointed to the bracelet on her hand. Look, it’s a couple’s style!

Surprise! Isn’t it unexpected?!
