Chapter 112: Chapter 112: An Extra Bowl of Pork and Vegetable Dish for You

"What on earth are you two doing?!" The village chief came over with a crowd of people.

"Li Youcai ran out and even took Jiaojiao hostage. My wife invited his mother over to work on his conscience."

The cloth in Li’s mother’s mouth was removed and the ropes on her body were untied. She broke down crying.

"Village chief! You have to stand up for me! Chen Hansui came to my door with a gun, she must be arrested! She’s a bandit, she’s too terrifying!"

Just as Suizi had foreseen, she went to Li’s house to take hostages, left Li’s father behind, and Li’s father called the neighbors, and the villagers came all the way to find them.

Li’s mother wanted to play the blame game. Her son couldn’t be saved, she wanted to drag Suizi down with her.

The village chief understood as soon as he heard it. In his heart, Yu Jingting was now more than just a street punk, he was his grandnephew.

"You don’t need to interfere with my grandnephew here, quickly take Suizi and Jiaojiao home. They’re children and pregnant women, don’t scare them. I’ll handle this."

There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

The village chief was already clear on what Yu Jingting and his wife had planned.

Yu Jingting put on a show and hugged Suizi, saying to the incoming villagers.

"Do you believe my wife would take hostages? She would cry just from watching a pig being slaughtered."

"She pointed a gun at my head!" Li’s mother yelled.

Suizi lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly, and Yu Jingting quickly patted her.

"Don’t cry wolf, if you scare the pregnant woman your family will have committed a great sin — who saw my wife come to your house to take hostages? Who saw it?"

"Brother Jingting, stop joking, sister-in-law is a cultured person, how could she do such a thing?" Someone in the crowd shouted.

There was a chorus of agreement.

Li’s mother had gained some insight into what it means to twist right and wrong.

Suizi’s gentle image in the village had long since won over people’s hearts, no matter how much she argued, no one would believe that Suizi would resort to threats and violence.

"Everyone has worked so hard, coming out in the middle of the night for my family’s affairs. Tomorrow we’re slaughtering a pig at my house, you’re all welcome to come eat!"

It wasn’t time to slaughter the New Year’s pig yet, but Yu Jingting’s words brought cheers from the villagers.

Li’s mother’s face turned ashen.

At this moment, her and her son’s "grievances", when put together, were still not worth a serving of pig meat stew.

Suizi’s soft voice floated over at this moment, not very loud, only a few people around her could hear.

"Curse others, and you will be cursed in return. Your ancestors of the Li family, apparently, do not protect you wicked descendants."

Li’s mother’s eyes widened, she desperately wanted to yell, listen, everyone, listen, are these harsh words something a "cultured person" would say?

Is this the "gentle and harmless" woman in everyone’s eyes?

"Yu Tiegen, she’s so vicious, aren’t you afraid that you’ll wake up one day and she’ll stab you to death?! " Li’s mother’s mindset at this point was that if she couldn’t live well, she would make Suizi, who had "wronged" her son, suffer too.

She’d prefer it if Yu Jingting didn’t want Suizi!

Yu Jingting squinted at Li’s mother.

Li’s mother thought she had succeeded in stirring up trouble, so she continued to speak.

"I had lived for most of my life and hadn’t seen a woman like her, having a face as innocent as a little white rabbit, but with a heart as savage as a big gray wolf! You heard it too, didn’t you? She wanted to chop me with an axe? If she can chop me, she can chop you and your mother too!"

Isn’t she a reincarnation of an evil woman?

"Done farting? If you are, then live well. Better yet, live as long as a turtle does, and with your dog’s eyes watch how good our life is. Whether your Li family’s ancestral tomb collapses or not, my wife and I will live well."

Yu Jingting casually moved his wrist, making Li’s mother take a step back.

Would this guy really hit a woman?

"Relax, I don’t make a habit of hitting old ladies."

Li’s mother let out a sigh of relief, only to see Yu Jingting walk over to Li Youcai and punch him in the belly.

"What was that sentimental oath to the moon that your son muttered — it’s so foul that even the moon wouldn’t want to hear it!" This statement was said with a grudge, no explanation given.

"He’ll get rid of you on behalf of the moon?" Suizi mused.

Mrs. Li rolled her eyes. She had been exposed to too much stimulation and fainted.

"Tiegen, is your sister okay?" A man came over. He was the son-in-law of Auntie’s family.

He originally came to enjoy the "revelry" at Yu Jingting’s house. But when he heard Yu Jingting talk about slaughtering a pig for the New Year, he instantly transformed from a bystander to a "concerned relative".

The two families were not on good terms, so he needed to find an opportunity to get closer, enjoy the meal made from the slaughtered pig, then continue causing trouble.

"She’s just scared. She needs to calm down. Here, take this bag," Yu Jingting casually threw the bag from his shoulder to Auntie’s son-in-law.

"What’s this? It’s quite heavy." The son-in-law followed whatever instructions he was given in anticipation of the feast.

"The gun and axe I brought."

The son-in-law dared not to look in the bag, he simply carried it on his shoulder.

Suizi was initially taken aback, then she looked down and thought about it, finding it amusing.

Only she and he knew what was in the bag.

If the son-in-law carried it around, no one would become suspicious. Even more fun, he would circle around the doorstep of wealth without ever entering, which was quite mean.

"Did the Yu family’s beard gene only get passed down to you?" Suizi asked. Without waiting for him to respond, she continued, "It must have. None of your brothers are as impressive as you."

The son-in-law looked at Suizi sympathetically. She was talking nonsense.

Who would compliment a bandit in such an admiring tone?

"Jiaojiao, come here." Yu Jingting called his sister over. With a big stretch, he picked up the little miss.

"What ever for, I can walk."

"Stop nagging. If it weren’t for your silly getting tied up, I wouldn’t be carrying you. Usually, only your sister-in-law gets this treatment — miss, do you mind?"

Actually, he would rather carry his wife home. She was pregnant. They lived quite far away and he didn’t want her to walk that distance.

"I don’t mind." Suizi smiled.

When Jiaojiao was in trouble, he was the most anxious. It’s quite a blessing to have such a reliable brother.

"Ah! Do I have no face? People will see, I’ll be so embarrassed, put me down!" Jiaojiao buried her head in her brother’s shoulder.

"Uh, Brother Tiegen, should I carry her?" The chubby kid leaned in, but Yu Jingting kicked him aside.

"It’s not your turn to carry my sister!" The kid didn’t even have a full beard yet and he was already trying to hit on girls? Ugh!

On the way back to the village, Jiaojiao was in her brother’s arms, she fell asleep on Yu Jingting’s shoulder before they even reached home.

Although being kidnapped had been scary, the timely appearance of her brother and sister-in-law had diluted Jiaojiao’s fear. Plus, she had the chubby boy to trade jibes with her the whole way. It didn’t leave a psychological shadow on her. Many years later when she would think about it, she would only remember how strong her brother’s shoulders felt and the sense of security it provided.

The son-in-law carried that bag all the way, escorting Yu Jingting home.

Yu Jingting escorted the chubby boy home, while Suizi brought Jiaojiao into the bed quilt.

Yu Jingting came back.

The couple exchanged a glance, one locked the door and the other closed the curtain.

The moon was obscured, the wind high, and there was nobody around.

Yu Jingting opened the bag, taking out a mysterious box from it.

More accurately, it was a porcelain jar.

As soon as the lid was opened, the light shimmered inside, glaring.

Even Suizi, who had seen her share of big scenes, was shocked by what was inside.

She lost her voice for a while. After looking at it for a moment, she said absentmindedly:

"Let’s give Auntie’s family an extra bowl of the pig slaughter feast tomorrow..."
