How I Tamed My Wolfish Husband Back in 80s-Chapter 212 - 214: Embarrassing Ah_1

Cheng Shuqin choked. Li Qiao gave her a covert glance and focused on replying to the letter.

The letter mentioned Li Jinhua’s superstitious behavior, as well as the incident where she had drugged Qin Jin when they went back to visit her maternal family.

Based on these two points, she suspected that Li Jinhua did not want children and had access to drugs that ordinary people couldn’t obtain.

She took medicine before visiting the tomb, deliberately framing the deceased for the miscarriage.

She suggested that her elder sister should ask Qin Jin’s friends in the village to secretly observe Li Jinhua’s interpersonal relationships to find her loophole.

Having written the letter, Li Qiao left the dormitory.

Cheng Shuqin spat contemptuously at the closed door.

Just a country bumpkin, what’s there to show off? Aren’t you just up to the same speculative tricks with your permission slip?

Just trash that can’t make it to the big stage!

....

After dropping the letter into the mailbox, Li Qiao walked toward the gate and from afar, saw Qin Jin waiting under the big tree by the roadside. She was about to wave her hand.

Qin Jin turned his gaze and stepped forward, asking, "Have you finished what you needed to do?"

Li Qiao made a humming sound.

Only then did Qin Jin start talking about his brother-in-law’s situation.

Li Qiao said, "Daxue has told me everything. Under what circumstances would a woman not want her own child?"

Qin Jin was puzzled, weren’t they discussing his brother-in-law? "How would I know? Are you pregnant?" He had always taken precautions, could it still happen? She wouldn’t want to avoid pregnancy for her studies, right? "If there is a baby, I’ll take care of it." He was really looking forward to having a child.

He would take the child everywhere he went.

Li Qiao chuckled, "I’m talking about Li Jinhua." She shared her suspicions with Qin Jin.

Qin Jin thought to himself, thankfully it’s not that you don’t want children - that would have scared me half to death. He couldn’t care less about discussing Li Jinhua, "That coquettish woman, who knows if the child she’s carrying is even Feng Hu’s."

Li Qiao: "..." What an unexpected angle!

Qin Jin then asked, "Why have you never worn the gold bracelet I bought for you?"

Li Qiao feared it was too ostentatious and would draw gossip, Xue Sufen and Cheng Shuqin being the prime examples; they criticized her clothing and appearance more than once.

Sometimes she really wanted to wear the village’s floral padded jackets just to shut them up.

Then she thought again, youth doesn’t last for many years.

If you have the means, why not dress up nicely?

With this in mind, she decided she would wear it tomorrow. "It was hot before, I was worried that sweating would cause tarnishing. Now that it’s cooler, I will wear it tomorrow."

Only then Qin Jin had no more objections.

The two of them strolled back home, and Old Mrs. Qin had already gone to bed.

Li Qiao opened her trunk to take out the gold bracelet, planning to wear it when she got up early the next day.

The weather turned cold, making the house chilly.

After washing up, Li Qiao crawled into bed, snuggling up to Qin Jin who had gone to bed before her. The next second, a large hand landed on her waist, pinching the flesh there. He said, "I’ve been feeding you all sorts of good food, how come you’re still thin?"

The old lady had gained ten pounds.

Li Qiao: "I heard that after giving birth one gets fat, and not in a good way. Will you despise me then?"

Qin Jin immediately assured and promised, "Definitely not, and I won’t find another woman."

Li Qiao pouted, "Words spoken without thought are mostly lies."

Qin Jin thought to himself, I did think about it; you’d probably say, ’You actually hesitated, loser! No good!’

He decided to change the subject, "Are you not sleepy? Do you want to do something else?"

"No," Li Qiao immediately closed her eyes to sleep.

Qin Jin suddenly said, "Qiaoqiao, you know a lot. Tell me, why when it’s cold, does the body stay under the blankets but not the face?"

"I always cover my face. If you won’t do it, maybe it’s because your face is thick enough to withstand the cold."

Qin Jin: "..." Insulting people!

"..."

...

The next day at school.

Li Qiao wore her gold bracelet, and Ma Hongxiang, with her sharp eyes, spotted it and exclaimed, "Is that real gold?"

Li Qiao: "Could there be a fake?"

Ma Hongxiang: "Can I take it off and have a look?"

"Just don’t gnaw on it with your teeth," Li Qiao said with a smile as she took off the bracelet.

Ma Hongxiang chuckled, "How could I?" The exterior of the bracelet was carved with leafy patterns. "It’s so pretty," she said, weighing it in her hand. It wasn’t light. She gave it back to Li Qiao and asked, "Is this part of your dowry when you got married?"

Putting the bracelet back on, Li Qiao replied, "No. I had an evil stepmother; she only gave me a few blankets when I married off. Everything I wear was bought by my husband afterwards."

Ma Hongxiang sighed, "It seems like it’s still best to marry someone with good conditions."

Li Qiao said, "You mustn’t think like that. When I married my husband, he had nothing. Life was tough; we drank thin porridge for half the month, and I felt like crying every time I drank sugar water when I was sick. I hated that I couldn’t split a penny into flowers."

"Why have your days improved now?"

Li Qiao: "It’s complicated; I can’t explain it all in just a few words. In short, as educated girls, we shouldn’t be like the last generation of women, hoping to rely on marriage for a better life, it’s too risky. There’s a saying, right? It’s cool under a big tree, but the same tree also blocks the sunlight. When looking for a partner, you need to pay attention to character, and especially look at the guy’s mother. If a man always listens to his mother, stay as far away as possible."

Ma Hongxiang asked, "If you don’t live together, how do you know if he listens to his mother or not?"

Li Qiao thought for a moment, "If he frequently says ’my mom said this, my mom said that,’ then he’s definitely a mama’s boy, lacking his own opinion. You should run away immediately."

Ma Hongxiang pursed her lips and smiled, "You seem to know a lot."

Li Qiao thought to herself, this is advice based on experience.

She had always known about mama’s boys but didn’t understand what they were like until she met Cai Hechuan.

If she married that type of man, she would suffocate for a lifetime.

The two girls discussed the issue of finding a partner as they entered the classroom. It was only after they sat down that they realized Professor Xue was standing at the podium flipping through his teaching materials.

It seemed that he had just arrived.

Li Qiao and Ma Hongxiang exchanged glances. Had Professor Xue heard their conversation?

How embarrassing.

...

After class, Li Qiao returned the books to the dormitory, then went to the school gate to meet Qin Jin and the other two.

Li Qiao moved closer and noticed that Jin Daxue didn’t seem very spirited and asked with concern, "Daxue, didn’t you sleep well last night?"

Jin Daxue yawned. Tossed about by a man for most of the night, how could she have slept well? Thankfully he didn’t hit her. She made an excuse, saying, "I’m just not used to it since it’s my first time here."

After passing the security checkpoint, Li Qiao presented her student ID: "The four of us are together."

The security uncle looked at Qin Jin and the other two but didn’t say anything else and let them through.

Jin Daxue and her husband curiously observed the school environment and couldn’t help but express their envy, "It’s truly nice to go to university."

Li Qiao smiled with her eyes curved, "Why else would so many people apply?"

"Is the school of the Cai guy from your village like this too?" Jin Daxue asked.

Qin Jin and Feng Kui’s expressions changed.

The former shot a dark look at the latter, and the latter clenched his fist, cursing inwardly. That damned woman, bringing up the most inappropriate topics. She hasn’t been beaten for a while, and now she’s itching for it!

Li Qiao replied openly, "I haven’t seen it, so I don’t know." She deftly changed the subject, "Jin, have you told them about where we’re going to have fun tomorrow?"

Feng Kui took over the conversation, "Yes, he mentioned. First, we’ll go to Tianmen, then to some sort of play museum."

Li Qiao: "Museum?"

"Yes, yes, the museum!"
