How I Tamed My Wolfish Husband Back in 80s-Chapter 229 - 231: Driven Mad_1

"Is this Li Qiao? The one who got pregnant and had an abortion after fooling around with the school doctor?" The young woman said with contempt, "She’s quite pretty. Who would have thought she’d do something like this."

Before Li Qiao could react, Old Mrs. Qin banged on the table and bellowed, "Who fooled around with the school doctor and had an abortion? Stop farting your mother’s farts! Was it you who had the abortion?"

Cheng Shuqin hurriedly apologized, "Grandma Li Qiao, I’m sorry, my friend doesn’t mean to offend; please don’t take her seriously."

Old Mrs. Qin: "If you can’t speak properly, don’t speak at all! Spreading rumors and slandering my granddaughter-in-law, aren’t you despicable? You’re not any better! Birds of a feather flock together." She pointed at Cheng Shuqin and cursed. It was late at night, and the street was mostly empty, but these two women had to be here.

They must have shown up on purpose to blacken my granddaughter-in-law’s name and let me hear it, right?

Their hearts deserve condemnation!

Cheng Shuqin’s face darkened: "Why are you cursing? There’s no smoke without fire, and it takes two to tango."

The young woman echoed, "Flies don’t sting seamless eggs."

"Aren’t waves caused by tidal action? What have they got to do with wind? You’re a university student and you don’t even understand this basic knowledge. Did you cheat to get into college? And it takes two to tango? Stretch out your face, I guarantee it will make a sound that reaches the sky!" Old Mrs. Qin was on fire.

If she weren’t advanced in age, she would have slapped them by now. "Flies don’t sting seamless eggs, so are you maggots justifying flies’ actions?"

Cheng Shuqin stumbled over her words: "I, you." In her frustration, she retorted, "You old hag, you refuse to die and even dare to curse people!"

"You didn’t curse people? Who’s the one calling me an old hag? Your family probably doesn’t have an old lady, since the women in your family don’t live past eighteen. I was young once, but you might not have the chance to get old yourself."

Li Qiao was utterly impressed.

She had thought Qin Jin’s knack for insult was already unbeatable.

Who would have expected that Grandma would take it to another level? She really wanted to jot down notes in a little book.

Cheng Shuqin was furious.

The young woman made a move to slap Old Mrs. Qin’s mouth.

Li Qiao clenched her fist and raised her arm, ready to greet the other party, only to hear a scream.

The young woman curled up on the side, clutching her wrist and wailing, "Who hit my hand? My hand is broken."

"I hit you!" A tall young figure gradually emerged from the darkness into the dim light. His voice was cold as he said, "Dare to bully my grandma, don’t you want to live?" He stepped forward, grabbed the young woman, and gave her two resounding slaps, leaving her face numb and her head spinning.

Li Qiao pointed at Cheng Shuqin: "She started all this."

After dealing with the young woman, Qin Jin set his sights on Cheng Shuqin.

Damn woman! She never learns!

Cheng Shuqin sprinted towards the school, but within a few steps she was caught up with, and kicked from behind.

Cheng Shuqin stumbled five or six steps forward and fell, her hands and the side of her face scraping against the pavement, burning painfully.

Before she could recover, someone grabbed her hair and smacked her twice across the face.

"Help! Somebody help!"

Qin Jin dropped the woman and met up with Li Qiao and Old Mrs. Qin, shooting a fierce glare at the dumpling vendor before fleeing.

The vendor snapped out of his daze and quickly packed up his belongings to make an escape.

He definitely didn’t want any trouble with that ruffian!

The young woman, clutching her arm, implored the street vendor to corroborate that Li Qiao had hit them.

The vendor waved his hands repeatedly, "Don’t look for me, don’t look for me." He was just a street vendor and didn’t dare to confront a ruffian.

Besides, the old lady and the young girl were just having dumplings peacefully when you two came up and started accusing the girl of hooking up with the school doctor and getting pregnant. Isn’t that asking for trouble?

....

When the three generations returned home, Old Mrs. Qin felt more and more troubled, "Qiaoqiao, what’s the deal with those two women? Why are they saying you had an abortion? You need to clear this up. You can’t let it go; what if it affects your future?"

"I’ve already reported it to the police," Li Qiao recounted the incident, "I suspect Cheng Shuqin is behind it." Only the school doctor and those two male students who went to the infirmary had seen her.

But they don’t know each other.

So it couldn’t have been them who spread it.

And only her dormmates knew she was sick.

Excluding Ma Hongxiang, she had suspected Xue Sufen, but Cheng Shuqin’s eagerness to cozy up to Grandma today had just confirmed she was the instigator.

Qin Jin angrily pronounced, "Tomorrow I’m going to school to settle things with her!"

Li Qiao said, "You don’t need to interfere in this matter; I can solve it."

Qin Jin decided to look for her privately tomorrow, only to hear Li Qiao add, "You can’t look for Cheng Shuqin to take revenge in private, huh?"

Qin Jin thought to himself, are you a worm in my stomach?

You seem to know everything I’m thinking.

.....

Dawn broke faintly.

Li Qiao got up early and jogged to school.

As she passed the sports field, she encountered Xue Lingqing head-on.

She greeted him with a nod.

Xue Lingqing said, "I heard about your situation. Do you have any suspects? Could it be Sufen who did this?" His last sentence was uncertain.

But he had his suspicions.

After hearing about the incident, he had sought confirmation from Sufen, who swore she hadn’t done it.

Li Qiao’s anger reignited, "It was Cheng Shuqin who did it!" She spoke of last night’s encounter with Cheng Shuqin on her way home with Grandma.

Xue Lingqing inwardly breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that it wasn’t Sufen.

Otherwise, he really wouldn’t know how to face her.

He paused, then said, "I can help you find evidence." As a teacher, he had much more convenience in handling matters.

Li Qiao’s mood softened, and she smiled, "Thank you, but I can handle it myself."

Xue Lingqing also smiled in response. Any other girl facing such rumors might have been at her wits’ end by now, yet she could still muster a smile. "If you need help, feel free to ask me anytime."

"Alright."

....

When Li Qiao returned to the dormitory, she encountered Lv Qian head-on.

Lv Qian had been nervous all night and hadn’t seen any police, so she’d grown bolder. "Li Qiao, didn’t you say you called the police? Why hasn’t anyone come to investigate me?" She had been humiliated in front of so many people yesterday when Li Qiao grabbed her by the collar and questioned her, and she’d never let it go after that.

She didn’t want Lv Qian to spread it around, huh?

Well, she was going to spread it everywhere!

Li Qiao said, "Maybe they’ll be here soon, you’d better be careful."

Lv Qian scoffed and walked away contemptuously.

Upon arriving in the classroom, she began to gossip with the classmates around her about Li Qiao.

The classmates, worried about Li Qiao telling the teachers and having to write a self-criticism as punishment, dared not discuss further. "Lv Qian, keep your voice down. Didn’t Li Qiao clear things up yesterday? She didn’t have an abortion." Several female classmates who’d been married and had children agreed that Li Qiao’s complexion didn’t look like she’d had one.

It’s possible that the visit to the infirmary resulting in molesting could be true.

Because some senior classmates had said that the school doctor at the infirmary would take advantage of his position to grope pretty students.

With Li Qiao being so beautiful, it wasn’t impossible that she could have been taken advantage of.

Hearing this, Lv Qian spoke up even louder, "Why should we whisper? If she has a clear conscience, she wouldn’t be afraid of people talking..."

But before she could finish her sentence, a knock came from outside the door, followed by a young, formal inquiry.

"Is there anyone named Lv Qian in this class?"

Lv Qian spun around to see two police officers in uniform. Her legs instantly went weak, and she collapsed onto a chair, which emitted a piercing screech.
