The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 337 Unrelated and Peaceful Coexistence_1
It turned out that Zhao Xiaohu’s sheep had fallen ill.
He had seen the veterinarian several times, but instead of getting better, the situation had gotten increasingly severe, and it looked like they could die at any moment.
Today, while herding the sheep, he saw from a distance Wu Xingxing’s mother spraying the fields and a scheme popped into his head.
He knew the Wu family undertook construction projects and had money.
So he deliberately drove his eight sheep into Wu Xingxing’s family’s field, then carried dead sheep over to demand money.
But no matter how well he thought his plan through, it backfired.
He hadn’t expected the police to see through him at a glance.
"You scoundrel, you really are capable of anything!" Suddenly, an elderly man burst out from the crowd, giving Zhao Xiaohu a harsh slap across the face.
The slap was so resounding that even Li Qing felt his own face sting.
"Who’s that?" Li Qing whispered to Wu Xingxing.
"Zhao Xiaohu’s clan elder." Wu Xingxing replied.
"Old man, stop it," Officer Wang shouted, "Zhao Xiaohu is suspected of extortion, we need to take him away."
"Officer, thank you for your trouble, please educate him properly!" Zhao Xiaohu’s clan elder sighed and said, "We elders have failed to properly educate our own children, and in the end, we’ve had to trouble the police, it’s our responsibility!" It seemed the elder became angrier the more he thought about it, and he gave Zhao Xiaohu another slap.
"Damned good-for-nothing, reflect well on your actions once you’re inside."
At this moment, Zhao Xiaohu lost all of his arrogance and hung his head like a quail.
He wished he could shrink his head back into his neck.
"Get in the car!" Officer Wang glanced at Zhao Xiaohu and ordered.
The other two officers each took one of Zhao Xiaohu’s arms and helped him into the car.
To Li Qing’s surprise, before leaving, Officer Wang even acknowledged him.
As the crowd watched the two police cars disappear into the night, they gradually disbanded.
"Qingzi, we really owe you one!" Wu Xingxing’s mother said joyfully, "Don’t go back tonight, Auntie will cook some of her special dishes for you, come taste my cooking."
"Auntie, I really didn’t do much!" Li Qing said modestly.
Meeting his prospective mother-in-law for the first time, it would be a lie to say he wasn’t nervous.
He had no idea what to say.
"That Zhao Xiaohu is really despicable!" Wu Xingxing crinkled her nose, her canines clenching with a grinding noise.
"This time, let’s see if he dares to stay out of trouble, hmph!"
"He has always been a scoundrel, always into petty thievery, but I never thought he’d have the gall to extort money!" Wu Xingxing’s mother also shook her head.
Wu Xingxing grabbed Li Qing’s arm and asked with a grin, "Qingzi, how long do you think he’ll be locked up for?"
"Probably just a month or so," Li Qing said, "After all, he didn’t succeed in his extortion, it’s an attempted crime."
"I didn’t realize it was intentional before, if I had known, I definitely would have lent a hand, giving him three to five years!"
If he had quickly handed over the money before the whole matter was found out.
Li Qing didn’t know much, but Zhao Xiaohu was sure to face a sentence of three years in jail.
"Just a month? That’s letting him off too easy!" Wu Xingxing said dejectedly.
Wu Xingxing’s mother slapped her on the head, "Mercy to the guilty can be virtuous, let’s hope he truly learns his lesson this time and stays clean from now on."
"Mom, you’re just too kind-hearted," Wu Xingxing said, shaking her head. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Li Qing stayed at Wu Xingxing’s house for a while before returning, not staying the night.
It was his first time meeting his prospective mother-in-law, and he really was nervous.
Not knowing what topics to bring up or what to say, sitting there dryly made him feel like he was on pins and needles.
During this time, Han Mei called to specifically ask about the situation.
Li Qing took the opportunity to excuse himself.
However, Wu Xingxing did not return with Li Qing.
Since she was there, she planned to stay the night at home and come back the next day.
Since Li Qing traveled to the city every day, he could easily pick her up en route.
By the time Li Qing got home, it was almost nine o’clock.
Checking the time, he guessed Han Mei hadn’t gone to bed yet and headed straight to her house.
Lately, he had been running all over, entangled with all sorts of women.
Regardless of the reason behind Han Mei’s estrangement from him.
He had first failed to take proper care of Han Mei.
Today, just so happens that Wu Xingxing wasn’t around, and Tian Yueqin hadn’t moved in yet.
It was the perfect opportunity for him to shamelessly try to close the distance with Han Mei again.
Li Qing didn’t use a flashlight but felt his way in the dark, familiar with the path to Han Mei’s doorstep.
The main door was tightly closed, but the lights inside the room were still on.
Just as Li Qing was about to knock on the door, he suddenly heard a faint, barely audible moan.
"What is this..."
Li Qing felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
His sister-in-law was with someone else...
He couldn’t believe what his ears were hearing.
Impossible!
It just couldn’t be!
Li Qing’s face turned ashen. He shook his head violently, his fists clenching without him noticing.
His sister-in-law wasn’t that kind of person.
If she hadn’t accepted him, how could she possibly accept someone else?
"I have to see for myself, what exactly is going on!"
Li Qing took a running start and deftly climbed over the wall.
He tiptoed closer to Han Mei’s bedroom.
The curtains were tightly drawn, yet the window was not completely shut.
Li Qing held his breath, quietly opened the window, and lifted the curtain slightly.
A scene on the bed came into his view.
Two fair bodies tangled together like twisted dough, caressing each other.
The passionate moans were coming from Han Mei’s mouth.
She was lying on the bed, indulging in the stirring of the other person’s fingers, her expression one of blissful enjoyment.
When the other person lifted their head, Li Qing saw a familiar face.
Qin Wenjun?!
Li Qing’s blood ran cold in an instant.
How could it be her?
The two of them...
His sister-in-law actually liked women?!
Li Qing suddenly understood why Han Mei had always rejected him.
Li Qing didn’t continue watching; he slowly let the curtain fall back into place and squatted down in the shadowy darkness.
The darkness enveloped him along with a bone-chilling cold.
It was as if an invisible giant hand was choking his neck, making it hard for him to breathe, suffocating him.
Li Qing didn’t know what to think anymore, feeling nothing but a piercing heartache.
His sister-in-law actually liked women!
At this moment, he suddenly remembered what the old Taoist priest had said.
Right now, he truly wanted to fade into obscurity.
He respected Han Mei’s choice, but he couldn’t accept this outcome willingly.
From Han Mei’s room came intermittent moans that were particularly intense.
It was Han Mei’s voice.
It sounded like she was having a much better time than when he had been with her.
Better to leave, to part ways and live in peace.
With a wistful smile, Li Qing stood up from the darkness.
No more clinging, it’s time to start wishing them well!
