Chapter 212: Chapter 211: Foolish Jin Yu (2 more)

"I’ll wait for you," Xu Niannian did the opposite, speaking softly, "It’s dark, I’m scared."

This is killing me.

Jin Yu felt he was truly at her mercy.

This little fairy is so exasperating.

"Then turn your back, don’t look at me, and give me ten minutes to calm down."

Xu Niannian nodded her head, realizing he couldn’t see her, she added, "Okay, I’ll turn around."

Obediently turning her back, Xu Niannian silently counted in her heart.

Hearing a rustling sound behind her, Xu Niannian was startled, thinking of an uncertain matter.

On the other side, Jin Yu paused his actions, puzzled.

"It’s just..." Xu Niannian stamped her foot, speaking reproachfully.

Jin Yu was frustrated, "Where did you hear that nonsense, and how does a young girl like you know so much? Who told you, I’ll kill him."

Jin Yu started with a question but then got angry at the thought that it might have been some boy who told her these things, the anger rushing to his head.

Xu Niannian got stuck, making up something on the spot, "I overheard it by accident from the boys in my class."

Hearing this, Jin Yu was utterly furious, "What kind of school is this undisciplined?"

The sight of a jealous Jin Yu made Xu Niannian giggle, she deliberately pursed her lips, "What’s this about discipline? Your place is disciplined, but I’ve heard you men love to tell dirty jokes."

"How can that be the same?" Jin Yu was exasperated, "That’s because there are no girls around, and we might speak crudely but our hearts aren’t crude."

Xu Niannian was speechless, "There are no women where you are?"

Although her focus was strange, Jin Yu obediently answered her.

"There are women, but no girls."

Xu Niannian: "..."

That response... simply a quirky thought process.

Are women not girls? Could it be that they’re all boys?

Jin Yu explained, "The women in our special unit are cruder than the men."

The next day, Xu Niannian woke up to Yang Cuihua’s clamorous voice.

"Oh my, what kind of damn thing is this, who would do such a despicable act? I swear I’ll flay whoever it is."

Hearing this, Xu Niannian instantly woke from her drowsiness, quickly got dressed, and ran out.

Last night, Xu Niannian slept in the room of the three Xu brothers, sharing a bed with Xu Duoyu.

She gave up her large bed for Jin Yu and Xu Zhicheng.

Getting up too quickly, she even woke Xu Duoyu.

Hearing Yang Cuihua’s cries that seemed to shake the heavens, Xu Niannian thought something major had happened.

Yang Cuihua stood in the courtyard cursing, saying whatever nasty things came to mind.

"Mom, what happened?" Xu Niannian ran out anxiously, pulling on the cursing Yang Cuihua.

Yang Cuihua pointed and said, "Look, which unlucky rascal did such a vile thing, my little piglet!"

Xu Niannian looked up and saw that in their courtyard’s big tree outside, a little piglet was tied.

The piglet’s mouth was also gagged.

This piglet was one Yang Cuihua had bought from the town with plans to raise since they were moving to the city, Yang Cuihua intended to give it to her second uncle to feed.

But she prattled on for so long last night that she forgot all about it.

And Jin Yuzheng was standing on the side, his face beet red.

Remembering the words from last night, Xu Niannian couldn’t be clearer about what had happened.

For a moment, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

This fool.

Since Yang Cuihua was still cursing, Xu Niannian was too embarrassed to laugh out loud, trying hard to contain her laughter.

After several deliberate coughs, she said to Jin Yu, "Jin Yu, go rescue my piglet."

Jin Yu had thought about it all night long, even dreaming that Xu Niannian refused to believe his confession from the night before.

After much deliberation, Jin Yu made an impulsive decision.

That was to run to Xu Niannian’s backyard while nobody else was awake, and tie her piglet to the tree.

Behind Xu Niannian’s room was the backyard, and the piglet’s "oinking" all night had reminded Jin Yu to tie it up.

He didn’t expect Xu Niannian to not be the first to see it, but instead, it was the mother-in-law.

Scolded all morning and always believing in confessing when wrong, Jin Yu kept a red face and didn’t dare to speak.

Seeing Xu Niannian’s smiling eyes, Jin Yu’s face turned even redder.

Stubborn and defiant, he asked, "So, do you believe what I said? If you do, I’ll rescue it."

Yang Cuihua had already run to the foot of the tree, looking up at her piglet and lamenting.

If she knew how to climb trees, she would have charged up already.

Xu Niannian suppressed her laughter, "What if I don’t trust you?"

Jin Yu gritted his teeth, "Then I won’t save it. Its life and death are in your hands, you decide."

Xu Niannian immediately found herself caught between tears and laughter.

So, was he planning to threaten her with the life and death of a piglet?

"Alright, I trust you. Go get the piglet down, or else I’ll tell my mom later."

Upon hearing this, Jin Yu cracked a smile and, while Yang Cuihua wasn’t looking, quickly pecked a kiss on her face and then sprinted towards the tree where the little piglet was tied.

The expression on his face, so full of pride and satisfaction, was as if he was not going to rescue a piglet but to marry a beautiful bride.

Jin Yu thought with satisfaction that he had taken another successful step.

At least she was willing to believe the confession he made last night. To become her boyfriend, Jin Yu felt it wasn’t far off now.

Xu Niannian watched Jin Yu’s retreating figure with amusement. How had she never noticed that he could be so foolishly naive and pure?

Jin Yu quickly got the piglet down.

Yang Cuihua took the piglet, her heart full of compassion—after all, she had spent money to buy this little piglet.

After this incident, it caused quite a stir in the village, with each household keeping a close watch on their piglets, rushing to check on any slight disturbance in the pig pen.

All for fear that some heartless wretch might tie their pig to a tree.

That heartless wretch Jin Yu helped Yang Cuihua carry the piglet and two old hens to Xu Erhong’s home.

Liu Guimei was effusive with thanks and offered to pay.

The usually stingy Yang Cuihua generously said, "What for? Our Niannian has plenty of money, we don’t need this little bit."

Yang Cuihua thought that Xu Zhicheng’s family had helped a lot when her own family was poor, which was why she didn’t take the money.

But when she said it out loud, there was a certain proud arrogance of a nouveau riche.

Luckily, Liu Guimei was an easy person to get along with and, knowing Yang Cuihua’s unfiltered mouth, she didn’t mind and even felt deeply moved.

In the past, her husband always helped the eldest Xu family, and Yang Cuihua was known to be aggressive. Liu Guimei always felt that her husband would toil in vain forever and this family would not remember their kindness.

She didn’t expect everything to slap her in the face, leaving her both comforted and remorseful.

Of course, Yang Cuihua knew nothing about the twist and turns in Liu Guimei’s heart.

And Jin Yu was even less likely to know.

After sorting everything out, Jin Yu drove the car with Xu Niannian’s family of five and headed towards the county town.

They passed by the school of Xu Zhicheng and Xu Duoyu, where Xu Niannian specially went down to explain the situation.

The village’s small school had only a few teachers, and it was common for students to skip school due to family circumstances.

Some were busy with work and had to ask for leave; others dropped out because they couldn’t afford the tuition.

For all sorts of reasons, the teachers couldn’t stop them, nor did they have the power to do so.

So when Xu Niannian went to talk, it didn’t take much fuss. The teachers signed, then took it for the principal to sign.

In less than a few minutes, it was settled.

Back in the car, Jin Yu glanced at her, "That was quick?"

"What else?" Xu Niannian laughed.

Jin Yu, looking at her charming and smiling face, yearned to pounce on her and embrace her for a kiss, but with the father-in-law and mother-in-law in the back, he didn’t dare to be presumptuous.

The most important point was that now he could only steal a kiss with a sudden attack, as things weren’t official yet.

She hadn’t agreed to date him yet.

In the back seat sat four people, with Xu Duoyu being held by Yang Cuihua.

All four family members were in a car for the first time and found it extremely novel.

To avoid embarrassing Xu Niannian, they all restrained themselves from touching anything out of curiosity.

The weather was hot, and the car windows were open.

Because they were in the village, Jin Yu drove very slowly, partly because the roads were bad, but mainly because cows often lay across the road.

Driving slowly, they would occasionally see villagers passing by from inside the car.

Yang Cuihua and Xu Dawei immediately straightened their backs and raised their chins, looking proud.

Look at this, their son-in-law’s car, such a fine car. How many people could afford to drive one?

In the past, they laughed at her for doting on her daughter, saying she would have no one to rely on when she got old. Now look at her daughter, living the good life.

And the son-in-law too, hmph.

Not only that, whenever they passed people, Yang Cuihua would stick her head out to chat with them.

Each time, Jin Yu would stop the car.

Yang Cuihua would then nonchalantly reveal that their family was moving to the county town and mention her daughter’s earnings.

The villagers, envious, would engage in small talk with Yang Cuihua, trying to get closer.

Nobody had expected that the first family to move to the county town from the village would be the formerly poorest Xu Dawei’s family.

Some were envious, others, like Auntie Xu, were jealous.

As people walked away, she would spit out, "What daughter earning money? She’s just relying on a man, pah."
