Chapter 149: A Gentle Woman Doesn’t Roar at All
Suizi seemed oblivious to his discomfort, her hand still outstretched, demanding payment.
"A basin of cured meat, five wild rabbits, and a whole knuckle - Shelling out a hundred or so wouldn’t be tough for such goodies, would it?"
Yu Jingting couldn’t reveal he was trying to curry favor with his mother-in-law, and he couldn’t find another suitable excuse either.
As he agonized, he saw Chen Kaide and Wang Fenfang walk past, heads drooping, looking listless.
Yu Jingting’s eyes lit up – inspiration had struck!
"I did make money, but then I encountered a lady on the road, lying next to a man. He was wearing a grey cotton-padded jacket with patches on it, and the third button was of a different color ──"
Unashamedly, he was drawing upon the appearance of Chen Kaide for his tale.
Yu Jingting’s eyes remained fixated on Chen Kaide, adding more details to his cooked-up story.
"Oh? And then?" Suizi was curious about the tall tales he could spin.
"The woman was bawling her eyes out, ’Kaide, your death is so tragic!’"
"Pfft!" Suizi couldn’t hold back her laughter. He was downright shameless!
