Chapter 707, A Skilled Woman can’t Cook without Rice
Just as Suizi and her husband had predicted.
Ge Mingyue was making a fuss out of every little thing, disturbing the peace of Chen’s parents’ household.
When Chen’s mother couldn’t raise the money, Chen Lijun and her two younger brothers were furious, warning anyone who dared to lend money to the old woman to expect retaliation from them.
Chen’s father was living in fear, on the verge of collapse from the stress Ge Mingyue was causing him.
Chen’s parents tried several times to visit Chen Lijun, but they were always stopped by Yu Jingting and his wife, and never got to see Lijun.
It wasn’t until Suizi encountered Chen’s mother while she was sunning her child that the mother burst into tears and begged Suizi to help, and Suizi agreed to take her to Lijun.
The old woman had learned her lesson — she knew not to take matters into her own hands in the future, but to consult with Lijun instead.
Seeing that it was the right time, Suizi started playing good cop and bad cop with Lijun, agreeing to help Chen’s mother deal with Ge Mingyue.
Once they dealt with Chen’s mother, they used the same strategy to deal with Chen Bin.
Suizi suggested that Yu Jingting should help to appease Ge Mingyue, but Chen Bin must promise to behave himself in the future — otherwise, their family wouldn’t intervene if Ge caused trouble again.
Badly shaken, Chen Bin was no longer the brash man he used to be. He listened to whatever Suizi said, like a deflated eggplant — head bobbing obediently in response.
