Chapter 730 Losing Face is Better Than Losing Mouth
Back at the Yu Family’s home, Suizi was using a pair of pliers to crack hazelnuts, having already filled half a container.
"How did you know that Qian Jun’s mother would gossip behind your back?" asked Yu Jingting.
"A coward like her, so concerned with appearances. After taking such a big hit from me yesterday, she’s bound to want to save face. Even if she doesn’t say anything today, she will vent tomorrow."
Suizi deliberately orchestrated the situation so that Jiaojiao would hear, even though she didn’t know if Qian’s mother was gossiping behind her back. Still, the opportunity would eventually arise.
If Jiaojiao didn’t hear anything this time, Suizi would continue with her plan until she caught her fish.
"Even if Jiaojiao couldn’t hear it first-hand, the neighbors would eventually pass the word along. Adults seldom shield children from their conversations. As long as one of Jiaojiao’s classmates catches wind of it, it’ll eventually reach her ears."
Suizi had figured out human nature long ago.
A child like Jiaojiao, who is well-liked and generous, is sure to have supporters.
The clever schemes of Qian Jun and his mother couldn’t escape Suizi’s calculations.
"Although this method is a bit cruel, it’s lucky that Jiaojiao could witness the dark side of human nature so early on, even if her opponents are weak. It’s better than being taken advantage of in the future."
Experience accumulates little by little. No amount of preaching from Suizi could equal the educational value of Jiaojiao going through this experience.
