Chapter 91: Take as Prescribed
Every time the Yu Family’s relatives visited Wang Cuihua to bludge a meal, they had to tread carefully around Jingting and his mother. These two were quick-witted and combative, making it difficult for anyone to take advantage of them.
But the relatives were no pushovers either, persistently returning to the fray despite repeated setbacks.
Jingting’s household enjoyed the most comfortable lifestyle amongst them, and they knew there were benefits to be gleaned if one were thick-skinned enough to ask.
The auntie nearly collapsed with laughter upon hearing Suizi’s readily agreeable response.
"Everyone’s been saying Tiegen landed a good wife, and it sure looks like it today." How naïve could she be!
Giving away one’s stuff as if it means nothing? She clearly has no idea how to survive. She’ll soon bleed Jingting dry. The auntie couldn’t suppress a gleeful smile at the thought.
These old women always thought they were the sharpest in the game. Little did they realise that Suizi and Jingting could read their intentions in a blink of an eye.
Suizi’s concern was simple: She just wanted to know if Jingting ruined their vat of soybean paste.
Jingting chuckled at her reaction, and playing up the theatrics, he slapped the lid of the paste jar hard, his voice booming.
"Do you even know how to manage a household? This is all that’s left, not even enough for us, and you’re giving it away?"
Unable to bring himself to really berate her, he tried to assert his dominance with a show of bravado.
