How I Tamed My Wolfish Husband Back in 80s-Chapter 211 - 213: Discovery_1

As the sky grew dark, Li Qiao entered the kitchen, where she found only some garlic sprouts and radishes. She went back to her room to get some money and took a vegetable basket, ready to go to the nearby market to buy some goods.

Jin Daxue said, "Qiaoqiao, shall I go out for a walk with you?"

"Sure."

Li Qiao and Jin Daxue walked a distance when the latter said, "Qiaoqiao, there’s something I have to tell you. Li Jinhua got married into our village, right? She was pregnant and came back to her parents’ home just as it was the anniversary of your mom’s death. Your dad went to pay respects, and your stepmom and Li Jinhua went along too.

When they left, Li Jinhua tripped over your mom’s grave and had a miscarriage. Your stepmom was convinced your mom’s spirit was causing trouble, so she destroyed her grave. Then, your stepmom got beaten up by your brother-in-law and ended up in the hospital. Li Jinhua called the police and had your brother-in-law arrested, and when we left, he still hadn’t been released.

Even that didn’t satisfy your stepmom; she smashed the Top Scholar plaque at your house. The village head ordered her to restore it, which led to two days of arguing."

Li Qiao didn’t have any feelings for the original owner’s mother, but she couldn’t help feeling shocked.

She finally understood why Feng Kui and Jin Daxue glanced at her when they just replied to Old Mrs. Qin; they wanted to inform her. But they were probably advised by Qin Jin to keep the matter from Old Mrs. Qin to spare her the heartache of hearing that the Top Scholar plaque was smashed.

She asked, "How is my big sister doing?"

Jin Daxue went on to say, "Your big sister is frantic. Li Jinhua is asking for 300 yuan as compensation to settle things with your brother-in-law. Your big sister wants to contact you but doesn’t know how to. Jin just made a call back home, contacted your former colleagues, and said they could sort out your brother-in-law’s situation. Are you going back home?"

Li Qiao replied, "If it’s sorted, why should I go back?" Wouldn’t I be bothered by Dong Lamei and Li Jinhua if I returned?

Also, can you visit a grave while pregnant?

Li Jinhua is such a superstitious person, doesn’t she find it taboo?

Did she deliberately not want the child, so she devised this scheme?

The goal was to get my big sister anxious, and since her husband is protective, wouldn’t he be inclined to get physical?

Thinking this, she decided to write a letter to her big sister later.

To give her advice on how to deal with Li Jinhua.

....

Li Qiao and Jin Daxue chatted all the way to the market.

All sorts of cooked food and braised dishes caught Jin Daxue’s eye. "There’s so much to eat here, even pig’s feet." She swallowed reflexively.

Li Qiao spotted them and bought five, along with a large serving of pig’s head meat.

Jin Daxue asked, "Qiaoqiao, isn’t it too cold for cold mixed dishes in this weather?"

Li Qiao replied, "You can warm them up in a pot, tastes even better."

No coupons were needed for the prepared food, so she also bought some beef, weighed some soybean sprouts, and headed back.

Close to the alley entrance, Li Qiao saw Xue Lingqing and Xue Sufen and politely greeted the former.

Xue Sufen instinctively hid behind Xue Lingqing.

Xue Lingqing said, "Out buying groceries?"

"Yes, my partner’s good brother and his wife are visiting us," Li Qiao introduced.

Xue Sufen peeked out, "Good brother? People from your hometown?"

"Yes," Li Qiao answered, "Professor Xue, we’ll be going now."

Xue Lingqing nodded slightly.

After parting ways, Jin Daxue marveled, "Your school’s professor is so young and good-looking. I thought he would be an ugly old man." The village had a middle school teacher who was old, while the younger ones taught at the elementary level.

Li Qiao said, "He’s an exception. Most are middle-aged or old men..."

Once they got home, Li Qiao went straight to the kitchen to get busy, with Old Mrs. Qin ready to help.

Jin Daxue entered the room to assist first. The kitchen was small, so without going in, Old Mrs. Qin stayed outside, doing her embroidery while asking Feng Kui about people back home.

Jin Daxue was chatting here too, mentioning how Feng Bing was pestering Yu Feng for a wife after being released.

Then there was Peng Chunhua, since everyone in the village was saying the child Li Qiao found was hers, she believed it to some extent. But Feng Hu and Yu Feng adamantly denied she had twins, so she planned to ask Li Qiao after the New Year.

Li Qiao said, "What’s the use of asking me? Can she prove the child is hers? It’s most likely she wants to find out which family the child went to so she can reap their benefits in the future."

She and Xu Feng communicated through letters, and the child was already registered under the name Gan Huanxi.

The name signified that her arrival brought sweetness and joy to the entire family.

Jin Daxue: "That’s also true, her family is the most calculating. But such people, giving them to a good family, feels a bit like doing harm."

Li Qiao: "Even a poor bamboo can produce fine shoots, the child’s living environment is more important."

As long as parents do not blindly pamper, children generally will not go astray.

She believed that the heavens would not let down any sincere person.

"..."

.....

After dinner, Qin Jin escorted Feng Kui and Jin Daxue to a nearby guesthouse.

Li Qiao accompanied them, and as they passed the school entrance, she inadvertently caught sight of Cheng Shuqin and Lu Kai stepping into the school together.

Is Lu Kai associated with the school?

She immediately said, "Jin, I suddenly remembered something and need to go back to the dormitory. Can you wait here for me after you’ve seen off Feng Kui?"

Qin Jin: "Of course, that’s fine."

After Li Qiao left.

Jin Daxue said: "Jin, today I met Qiaoqiao’s professor, he’s really handsome. She’s with these highly educated people all day, aren’t you worried she might look down on you?"

Feng Kui slapped the back of Jin Daxue’s head: "Nonsense, what are you saying? Qiaoqiao has studied so much, she has high standards. Besides, why would she call him to the school if she disdained Jin?" This gossipy woman, she must be afraid his brother and sister-in-law are too happy, right?

She’s here stirring trouble while his wife is away.

Itching for a beating!

Let’s see how he deals with her at the guesthouse!

Jin Daxue was slapped and didn’t dare to make a sound.

Qin Jin thought to himself, exactly!

Some women really do need a beating.

Fortunately, Qiaoqiao is not like that now. If it was her former self, he would have to spank her three times a day!

...

Li Qiao covertly followed Cheng Shuqin and Lu Kai, and upon seeing the latter send Cheng to the dormitory entrance and leave, she hurried to catch up. The former went into the school security office and changed into a security uniform.

Only then did she realize that this person was a security staff member of the school, no wonder she had been monitoring Cheng Shuqin for a week with no findings. With Lu Kai as her errand runner, Cheng Shuqin didn’t need to meet with those hoodlums herself.

She wondered whether the initial draft of the paper was still in Lu Kai’s possession; she had to obtain it and report the matter so the school could investigate.

At that time, how could Cheng Shuqin still be arrogant in her presence?

Li Qiao secretly planned to collect evidence and report the incident, but she needed to start with Xue Sufen, after all, it was Xue Sufen who received the thesis.

She wondered if Xue Sufen had told Professor Xue about this.

Tomorrow was Monday and there would be Professor Xue’s class; she would have to inquire after the class.

Having planned everything, Li Qiao returned to the dorm and took out some letter paper to write a letter.

Ma Hongxiang said: "Li Qiao, why do you have so many letters? I’ve seen you dropping letters into the mailbox more than once."

Li Qiao: "I have many friends."

Cheng Shuqin, having been reprimanded, was looking for an outlet for her frustration and immediately retorted to Li Qiao: "Can the people in the village even read?"

Li Qiao: "Who are you looking down on? I’m a villager myself, and you know very well how I compare to you city folk."
