I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 874: Underestimating the Shamelessness of a Street Rascal

Chapter 874: Chapter 874: Underestimating the Shamelessness of a Street Rascal

"I don’t think I’ve brought it up with you yet. You bet with Grandpa using me as the stake, oh right, you were also embracing a woman and dancing. Your hand was even on her waist."

Suizi spoke in a detached manner.

But the edge in her words that seemed to cut someone was undeniable.

Yu Jingting’s rascally smile froze on his face, thinking that after being busy with serious matters all night, his wife had already forgotten about this.

How come her brain still managed to take twists and turns?

It went full circle and came back!

Like turning the guts inside out!

"Weren’t I just looking out for the big picture? Moreover, isn’t that the usual pose for ballroom dancing?"

"Heh, you had to dance the Rumba all wrapped up with her. Why didn’t you dance the Cha-Cha with her, bouncing face-to-face?"

"Aiya, that image, too saucy—uh." Jiaojiao imagined her brother like a little squirrel agitated by the heat, bouncing side by side with some unknown woman, tsk tsk tsk.

"Scram! Adults are talking; kids shouldn’t butt in!" Yu Jingting pressed Jiaojiao’s head down with one hand, turning her head to the side, and didn’t let go, keeping her from watching the scene.

He leaned close to Suizi and kissed her directly.

Heh, if an explanation is too complicated to get across, a kiss solves everything.

Suizi was just joking with him anyway.

Although feeling a tad jealous, isn’t the matter settled after rubbing her man down with a steel wool pad, spraying some alcohol all over him for disinfection, and having him jump over a fire basin to dispel the moldy vibes?

She wasn’t the petty type.

But she didn’t expect Yu Jingting to be so shameless as to nibble in front of Jiaojiao.

And he didn’t stop at a nibble, his tongue ventured in too!

"Bro, are you done yet? My neck hurts!"

Jiaojiao protested.

"Can’t you be less shameless? You used this trick to bully my sister-in-law when I was little. Now that I’m growing up, you’re still the same?"

Having taken his advantage, Yu Jingting licked the corner of his mouth and struck a lewd hip-thrusting pose for Suizi.

All of this was his to claim after the serious affairs were dealt with. He could reap at will!

Suizi wanted to transform into a butterfly and fly away, or even a moth would do, just to escape the embarrassment.

Yu Jingting released his hold on Jiaojiao’s head and feigned innocence, "Oh, there was a leaf in your sister-in-law’s hair, I was just helping her get it out."

"...Do you think I’m stupid?"

Yu Jingting pulled out a fifty yuan note from his pocket, and Jiaojiao’s eyes widened. Her first thought—

"Bro, where did you get such a realistic fake bill?"

How could her brother, who she depended on for pocket money through her sister-in-law, suddenly become so generous?

"Don’t want it, forget it!"

"Ah! My dear brother is truly a modest gentleman, gentle and refined, handsome and kind. Helping my sister-in-law pick out a fallen leaf is so commendably transparent, unlike those lowlifes fond of clinging and gnawing together!"

Yu Jingting knocked her on the head, "You little rascal, always so sarcastic!"

"Hehehe, bro, why are you suddenly so generous? I’m a bit unaccustomed to this." Jiaojiao snatched the money as quickly as possible and pocketed it, for fear that he would change his mind and take it back.

"Let me tell you, your brother is making foreign money now. Times have changed; I have stood up! I am rich now! I even have a private stash, secret funds, hahaha!"

"Oh? You don’t have to hand it over to my sister-in-law? Sister-in-law, he’s hiding private money behind your back. Are you going to do anything about it?" Jiaojiao tattled to Suizi.

Yu Jingting made a move as if to dig it out of her pocket, demanding the money back!

Jiaojiao held his hand, almost breathing a few sighs on his face. Under the Yu family’s traditions, one does not spit out meat that has reached the mouth; one does not return money that has entered the pocket.

"That was money I earned fair and square from a bet I had with grandpa, and it didn’t come from the family’s public account! Hey, little miss, am I right? It’s my own skillfully won gray income, you can’t just confiscate it, can you?"

"What did you bet on?" Suizi asked curiously.

"If I lost, I would serve grandpa as his grandson, help him watch over his turf, be the leader. If I won, grandpa would open his private safe and let me pick anything I wanted."

"Ah, then it can’t be confiscated." Suizi quickly calculated in her mind.

In grandpa’s safe, there surely were heirloom jades.

Given Jingting’s character, such things would definitely end up being gifts for Suizi.

After a whole round, it would still end up in Suizi’s hands, thinking this, she immediately became magnanimous.

"Our family is very democratic. How could I possibly confiscate such gray income? It’s all yours, take it with confidence!"

She said this out loud, but her mind was already scheming.

Was it material for a jade bangle or for a ring surface? Maybe a jade hairpin wouldn’t be bad either; she recently had a thing for jade hairpins.

Yu Jingting’s eyes rolled around, and he wore a mischievous smile.

"You mean what you say?"

"Of course! I, Chen Hansui, when have I ever been the kind of person to go back on my word?" Suizi declared righteously.

Yu Jingting nodded, then turned to Jiaojiao and said, "Your sister-in-law just said, what I win is my personal property and she can’t confiscate it, and you, the kid who took fifty bucks from me, you need to bear witness."

"Ah, suddenly I can’t hear anything, maybe I have insects in my ears?" Jiaojiao pretended to smack her ears.

"Add another fifty!"

"I can hear again! Bear witness, right? No problem! Brother, the kinship I feel for you has overcome my deafness!"

Suizi, pretending to be generous, faintly sensed something was off.

Jingting was being too generous with his spending, doling out a hundred to Jiaojiao just like that. Was his stake in the bet worth that much?

"There’s a witness now, you can’t back out!" Yu Jingting pressed close to Suizi’s ear and whispered so Jiaojiao wouldn’t hear, "If you dare go back on your word, I’ll make you pay with your body!"

"Hehe." Suizi was not at all intimidated by this threat.

It sounded as if he wouldn’t cause trouble if it wasn’t for that.

However, Suizi, who was normally prescient, indeed stumbled this time.

Because she underestimated both Yu Jingting’s shamelessness and the stakes of his bet.

Taking a rickshaw would be half an hour slower than driving.

Standing at the entrance to the Courtyard, Suizi and the others could already hear the howling inside, sounding like Fourth Uncle and grandpa yelling at each other.

The argument was quite intense, all in a language from another region, gibberish that Suizi couldn’t understand.

"Could they have started fighting again?" Suizi hurried into the Courtyard, only to be dumbfounded by the scene inside.

Fourth Uncle and grandpa were playing chess and swearing at each other while they played.

They were still at the stage of trading verbal blows; if Suizi had come back later, they might have actually come to blows.

"Unfilial son! Stealing my army! You have no shame! After all these years, you still can’t kick this disgusting habit!" grandpa was so angry he was puffing out his beard.

"As if you haven’t taken my cannons! What right do you have to talk, old man? I learned sneaking pieces from you! You said it yourself back in the day, what you see stolen, what you don’t is merely taken!"

Fourth Uncle was particularly unrestrained in front of grandpa, cursing back in a dialect others couldn’t understand.

Even though Suizi and the others couldn’t understand, they could guess what was happening from their actions.

"Should I flip the chessboard to end this battle?" Jingting asked Suizi.

"No need, no need to lay a hand to annoy—watch this—" Suizi whispered back to him, then suddenly raised her voice and said something that made both Fourth Uncle and grandpa shudder.
