I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 405: Begging With a Golden Bowl

Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Begging With a Golden Bowl

"So, the main point is that Lun Lamei’s mother-in-law is having a secret rendezvous with an old man?"

Suizi thought that Yu Jingting would make an excellent private detective, as he always manages to dig up little-known secrets--

But there was one problem with this detective, where he investigates, he also pees. Not a great habit.

"Hehe, talking about it makes me want to laugh."

Yu Jingting’s expression told Suizi that he was certainly not going to say anything pleasant.

"I’m not kidding, the old man that her mother-in-law meets with, their meeting lasts about as long as it takes me to go to the bathroom."

As his stream ends, the meeting in there would also be over.

"You... how do you know?"

Suizi felt her worldview had been refreshed.

"They were shouting for toilet paper in there."

"I think I’ll call you the Great Detective from now on. Your deductions are remarkable. I’ve even thought of a name for you - Sherlock Urine Holmes."

The source of this inspiration was unknown to Yu Jingting, as he had never read Sherlock Holmes, but from the word "urine", it wasn’t hard to deduce that this was no compliment.

He bit down on her little cheek, causing Suizi to puff up in irritation.

"Don’t chew on my face! I have a meeting to attend later!"

Yu Jingting poked Suizi’s puffy face: "Hey, you silly little groundhog~"

The consequence of having a sharp tongue was gaining two rows of neat little teeth marks on his finger. Both of them now had a mark on their faces and hands respectively - a couple’s set.

After some bickering and mutual injury, they finally remembered their main business.

"What key word did you hear?" Suizi asked.

"Prison."

The old lady, after her date with the old man and right after Yu Jingting finished his trip to the bathroom, mentioned the word "prison" frequently in their conversation.

It was said that Lun Lamei has a brother who committed a crime and was jailed, and Lun Lamei often goes to visit him.

Suizi immediately understood.

"It’s Li Youcai, who’s currently in jail, who gave Lun Lamei the idea."

Li Youcai, like Suizi, also had reincarnation memories. He thought of the severe drought in the coming years and the medicine factory going bankrupt, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to make money.

He didn’t know how he got back in touch with Lun Lamei, but from inside the prison, he was directing Lun Lamei on the outside to be his eyes and ears.

If not for Yu Jingting’s keen perception and noticing this detail, the two might have been able to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

"Why would Li Youcai trust Lun Lamei so much? They had a falling out before." Yu Jingting had almost forgotten about Li Youcai during this period.

Thinking about it, the hemorrhoid cream he had sent should almost be used up, right? With Lun Lamei visiting him every now and then, he probably didn’t need him and Suizi’s "delivering love" anymore.

The words of Yu Jingting plunged Suizi into long contemplation. Knowing that she tends to think longer, Yu Jingting started to play with her fingers.

"Li Youcai wants to get out." Suizi could only see this as the possibility.

"With so many years of his sentence left, it’s still a long way off, right? By the time our child learns how to fry soy sauce, he might not even be out yet."

"He either wants to find someone to fake it and get out on medical parole or he wants to invent something, make meritorious deeds, and get his sentence reduced--Given his character, I think he would probably focus on the former."

Suizi felt that Li Youcai, as a reincarnator, had no halo at all.

He seemed to be making the same mistakes he made in his previous life all over again, always wanting to take shortcuts, never considering the idea of taking the right path seriously.

Being bullied on the inside, he thought of using all kinds of tactics to get out.

"Then I’ll have someone keep an eye on it. As soon as there’s any movement on his side, we’ll know what to do next."

Yu Jingting was only a step away from saying: "The moment he bribes someone, I dare to report him directly."

Even though he didn’t say it, Suizi understood.

"Apart from having someone keep an eye on Li Youcai, we should also be careful with our parents and children going out, beware of Lun Lamei tripping us up."

Suizi was not satisfied with the current distance between the two families. With Lun Lamei’s sneaky personality, who knew what kind of tricks she could pull off.

Even if she didn’t know now that Suizi’s family was here, she would find out sooner or later.

Suizi even believed that Lun Lamei might already know that she was here, because over the past year, Yu Jingting had been appearing in the newspapers every now and then under the pseudonym "Xiaoyu, the Progressive Youth".

In this small city with only a few streets, a bicycle ride could complete a full circle within an hour. Suizi’s family was gradually gaining fame, so gathering information about them was not challenging.

"Du Zhong asked if we should refuse directly, after all, they haven’t transferred the money yet, so we can still back out at any time."

Suizi shook her head.

"Du Zhong needs these medicines. There’s no need to escalate personal grudges to this level. Every additional box of medicine produced can save more people. We shouldn’t be narrow-minded; we should have a bigger picture."

"Say it in plain language."

Yu Jingting knows well that behind every ’Suizi-ism’, there’s a translation that brings him joy.

"I want her to have the means to make money but not the blessing to spend it — Jingting, what do you think would happen if her mother-in-law knew that the man in prison is not her brother, but a man she was previously engaged to and even had a child with, and that this couple is secretly making money and preparing to run away at any moment?"

The reason why Lun Lamei’s current in-laws accepted her, a woman with such a bad reputation, was simply because they wanted her to serve as a free nanny, taking care of their paralyzed husband.

"We should always show more compassion towards the disadvantaged. Being paralyzed is already very pitiful. If he loses his wife as well, how will he live the rest of his life?"

Suizi shook her head meaningfully. Therefore, to show care for the disadvantaged, they of course had to get all the money Lun Lamei earned into her in-laws’ hands.

"You’re really cunning, tsk." Yu Jingting was pleased with the answer he got.

In old Yu’s family, cunning is not necessarily a negative word.

Being overly soft-hearted towards enemies is tantamount to letting those with bad intentions out to harm society. As the "good youth" frequently praised by the mainstream media, he and Suizi are bound to carry on their justice and prevent these pieces of rotten meat from going out to harm others.

"Let them be smug for a few days; the pain of losing hope after having it is far greater than living in ignorance."

Suizi’s words gave Yu Jingting a different train of thought; perhaps, he could use the same strategy to deal with Li Youcai?

Out of caution, Suizi asked Yu Jingting to thoroughly investigate Lun Lamei’s in-laws. When Yu Jingting showed her the information about Lun Lamei’s husband the next day, Suizi was utterly shocked.

The man who married Lun Lamei was not just any ordinary man.

This man was a renowned chemist in the future world, nominated for the Nobel Prize, extremely talented.

Moreover, he was not completely paralyzed but only his legs were immobile. At this moment, he was at the lowest point in his life.

If Lun Lamei could seize this opportunity and live a good life with him, her social status in the future would definitely be very high.

But...

Thinking with her knees, it was obvious that this was impossible.

Looking at Lun Lamei’s series of tricks, Suizi could only sigh that there were indeed people who bought a beautiful piece of jade and discarded the jade itself only to keep the box, people who were holding a golden bowl but asking for alms.

People with sinister intentions, really can’t live a good life even if fate hands it to them on a silver platter.
