How I Tamed My Wolfish Husband Back in 80s-Chapter 129: Learning to Be Bad_1
Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Learning to Be Bad_1
Li Jinhua continued to entangle, "Who is the production team looking for? Who is the township looking for? Why don’t you take me there?"
"I still have work to do, you should find someone else." Han Ting refused without compassion.
Li Jinhua simply squatted down and cried.
With a soft voice, Du Xinxin said, "Han Ting, why don’t you take her to find someone?"
Wang Nannan also found it difficult to listen, "It’s truly pitiable for a girl to be forced into marriage, why don’t we help?"
Han Ting had no intention of interfering from the start, "You can’t just look at the surface. Wang Nannan, did you forget how you confronted Li Qiao at first? Did she ever hold a grudge?"
Wang Nannan was startled in her heart.
As Li Qiao’s sister, Li Jinhua surely had to endure a lot, and what happened in between must have been more than they had heard, which was why the situation escalated. Immediately, her sympathy for Li Jinhua faded away, realizing there’s a hateful side to someone pitiable.
The educated youths secretly came to a consensus and decided to inform Li Qiao about the situation.
But as for Li Jinhua, they chose to ignore her.
Li Jinhua cried for a long time without achieving the results she wanted, which only attracted the attention of the passing villagers to watch, forcing her to leave in disgruntlement.
....
After working until the temperature rose, the educated youths returned to their youth spot and arranged for Du Xinxin to discuss the matter with Li Qiao. Li Qiao was at home, busy making salty pine nuts with Qin Jin. Upon seeing Du Xinxin, she enthusiastically invited her to try some.
Du Xinxin signaled that she had something to say.
Li Qiao took her inside the house, "What’s the matter?"
Du Xinxin briefly recounted the incident.
Li Qiao’s sixth sense told her it wasn’t good news, "Stay as far away from Li Jinhua as possible. That woman is adept at garnering sympathy to set traps for others." She thought hard for a moment, "Recently, her family has been pressing her to marry, and she definitely doesn’t want to. An idea suddenly flashed in her mind, "Ah! It’s likely she wants to impose herself on either Han Ting or Zou Qing. As long as she gets with one of them, she can have an educated youth as a husband."
Du Xinxin felt a chill run down her spine, "No way, that would ruin someone, wouldn’t it?"
"Ruin who? In Li Jinhua’s eyes, an educated youth is a jackpot, a beautiful wife for free. And she’ll tell men she’s clean, a pure virgin."
Du Xinxin laughed out loud, "Ha ha... I’ll remind Zou Qing and Han Ting."
Li Qiao wasn’t worried about Han Ting; as a village primary school principal, he wasn’t short on experience.
He would definitely see through Li Jinhua’s ruse.
Zou Qing was the type to focus on his work. He needed to be careful, or else Li Jinhua might impose herself on him, and with Dong Lamei causing trouble, things could end up making him Tulou Village’s son-in-law. She added one last comment, "Jin was once imposed upon in this way, think about how formidable she is."
Not wanting to be careless, Du Xinxin bid farewell to Li Qiao and immediately went back to inform Han Ting and Zou Qing at the youth spot.
The two young women beside her laughed until they couldn’t breathe.
Liu Jing stopped laughing, "That’s impossible! How would she impose herself?"
"Be careful your Zou Qing doesn’t get imposed upon."
Liu Jing’s face turned red, "What nonsense are you speaking?"
Zou Qing was also embarrassed, but in the following two days, just as Li Qiao had predicted, Li Jinhua frequently appeared in their sight. This alarmed Han Ting and Zou Qing so much that they didn’t dare to step away from Du Xinxin and the others.
On the third day when Li Jinhua came again, she was caught red-handed by Yu Feng, who was picking pumpkins in the field. "Ah, Jinhua, it’s you! How did you know Bing got discharged from the hospital?"
Li Jinhua didn’t respond.
Yu Feng grabbed her wrist, "Come sit at my house. Our family’s living conditions are much better than your third sister’s. We have a sewing machine and even a bicycle."
Li Jinhua sneered, what’s so special about a few old things? She tried to pull away, but Yu Feng, accustomed to farm work, was strong and Li Jinhua couldn’t free herself. Plus, with Yu Feng mentioning Qin Jin selling pine nuts, curiosity got the better of her and she followed half-heartedly.
Seeing this, Yu Feng thought there was a chance for something to happen and her eyes lit up with joy. She continued the conversation, "Your third sister really brings good fortune to her husband. Ever since she married into the Qin family, Qin Jin’s life has improved. They eat meat and fish every day." The aroma was truly tantalizing.
Li Jinhua secretly swallowed her saliva. The last time she had meat was half a month ago when Li Jiaojiao sent her five pounds of pork, "It’s all earned by your brother-in-law, right?"
"Without your third sister, he couldn’t have earned a fart!" Yu Feng said dismissively.
Li Jinhua muttered to herself, "If not Qin Jin, who else could it be? Ah, why does Li Qiao get to reap the benefits?"
When they reached the Yu Family, Yu Feng, pulling her along, introduced her to Feng Bing. Feng Bing had been a widower for several months and his eyes lit up at the sight of a woman: "You, you’ve come to see me?"
"In your dreams!"
Yu Feng, using the excuse of stepping out to pour water, slid the bolt into the door of the main room.
Li Jinhua realized what was happening just as Feng Bing leaped towards her.
"Help, somebody help!" Li Jinhua screamed.
Feng Bing sneered, "This is my home, who’s going to save you now?"
Li Jinhua said, "You’re being a hooligan! That’s a crime."
This time, Feng Bing was not afraid. Who would be scared of behaving like a gangster in his own home? If Li Jinhua made a fuss, he’d just claim it was consensual.
Feng Bing’s wounds were mostly healed, and he was agile.
Li Jinhua was soon caught, and she desperately cried out for help.
She hoped next-door neighbor Li Qiao would hear her cries, hoping that he would come to her rescue without bearing grudges.
Li Qiao did faintly hear someone calling for help, but Qin Jin was making so much noise in the courtyard, clanging a pot lid, that she couldn’t hear clearly.
It was Yu Cuiying who sensed something was amiss. She had seen Li Jinhua enter the Feng Family’s courtyard, but only Yu Feng came out. From her vantage point, she could see the door to the Yu’s main room was closed, and she immediately sensed that something terrible was happening. Feng Bing hadn’t seen a woman in months; he was probably going crazy from the lack.
She went looking for Yu Feng right away.
Yu Feng was indifferent, believing that as long as Li Jinhua had been with her son and he was willing to marry her, it was no big deal.
Yu Cuiying barged in directly.
Although Li Jinhua and Li Qiao had their enmities, if something happened here, Li Qiao’s stepmother would definitely blame it on Li Qiao. They all knew a bit about how fierce Feng Lamei was when Qin Jin took a wife. If this blew up, it would involve not just Yu Feng and Feng Bing, but several families.
Yu Cuiying unbolted the door.
Li Jinhua, with a mouthful of blood, frantically pushed past her and ran out, while Feng Bing clutched at his ear, wailing in pain.
Yu Feng collapsed at the sight; half of Feng Bing’s ear was gone. She then started shouting for help herself.
Yu Cuiying was also shocked out of her senses for a good while.
The working women and nearby neighbors gathered around to watch the commotion.
...
Li Qiao sat in her room eating pine nuts when she glanced out and saw that the workers had vanished.
She stepped outside, only to see a crowd gathered at the entrance to the Yu household.
Old Mrs. Qin was among them. She approached and asked, "What’s going on?"
Old Mrs. Qin said in a low voice, "They say that Feng Bing’s ear was bitten off by Li Jinhua."
"What?" Li Qiao exclaimed in shock, "How did those two get together?"
Old Mrs. Qin whispered, "It’s all Yu Feng’s doing. She wanted to turn a casual affair into a sure thing, but she didn’t reckon with the girl’s temper. Now look what’s happened. Do you think the marriage can still go ahead?"
Li Qiao said, "....Well....who knows, but Li Jinhua sure is fiercer than a man, badass."
Fiercer than a man? Badass? Old Mrs. Qin’s face darkened; fierce and badass were hardly proper terms. This must be something she picked up from that detestable rabbit of a grandson, Jin. His bad influence was even corrupting their well-behaved granddaughter-in-law!
It was only after Feng Bing was taken to the hospital that the crowd dispersed.
But the conversation about Feng Bing continued.
Everyone chuckled darkly about Yu Feng. It seemed like her dreams of gaining a high school graduate daughter-in-law had been dashed.
