How I Tamed My Wolfish Husband Back in 80s-Chapter 115: Madness_1

Li Qiao finished the tasks he had promised to his classmates and came to the grove for another date with Qin Jin. They walked out unhurriedly only after the school bell rang.

She saw him off at the school gate, turned around to get her lunch box from the canteen, and after eating, continued working on the unfinished problems.

Before the evening self-study, Hu Xiufang rushed into the classroom out of breath.

Li Qiao said, "Did you get the fertilizer?"

"My eldest brother has already gone over. He said that the fertilizer station indeed received fertilizer this morning, and the price dropped to three jin and eight per pound. He considered buying it while the price was low but was hesitant because he didn’t want me to think he’d broken his promise and get angry, so he didn’t buy any. Fortunately, he didn’t, otherwise we would have lost a lot, and I would have really hated him," Hu Xiufang explained, catching her breath.

Li Qiao chuckled lightly, "That’s too harsh. Even if you hadn’t bought any, my family could have sold ours." Qin Jin said that many people in the village bought from him, even reserving some for their relatives, but he had already promised to supply the fertilizer station, so he took it all there.

Everyone knew that Li Qiao’s family sold fertilizer cheaper than the fertilizer station. After the first period of evening self-study, several classmates approached her to inquire about purchasing fertilizer.

Li Qiao said, "It’s already sold out. The intention wasn’t to make money by keeping some for you." She just wanted everyone to know that her partner wasn’t worthless.

Liu Lanlan felt fortunate that she decided to go home and consult with her parents at the end; otherwise, she would have had to spend more than two extra yuan on three bags of fertilizer, enough for her family to beat her up.

After evening self-study, Li Qiao walked toward the dormitory carrying fried, crispy snacks.

"Xiufang!"

Both turned their heads at the same time.

The newcomer had an average build, neither fat nor thin.

"Big brother, didn’t you go to get the fertilizer? How come you have time to stop by?"

"I was passing by and decided to come and see you," Hu Hai said.

Hu Xiufang introduced Li Qiao to Hu Hai, "This is my deskmate I told you about. Good-looking, right? And really good at studying."

"Hello, big brother," Li Qiao greeted him, picking up on Hu Xiufang’s words.

Hu Hai smiled and nodded slightly, "Hello." Indeed good-looking, and also polite and generous. It made his sister seem like a country bumpkin. How could she have the nerve to walk with such a girl? "Thank you for leaving us the fertilizer."

Li Qiao replied, "No problem."

Hu Hai had a brief chat with Hu Xiufang before saying goodbye.

Li Qiao and Hu Xiufang accompanied him to the door, where a familiar voice called out to Li Qiao.

No need to ask.

She knew it was a troublesome person.

Li Shengcai stepped forward and grabbed Li Qiao, "Qiaoqiao, I’ve finally found you. We’ve run out of fertilizer, and the station’s is too expensive. You have to help your dad. You can’t let your dad starve to death, right? If your classmates knew that a Beijing University student let her own father starve to death, what would they think of you?"

Li Qiao felt helpless and powerless. By declaring himself her father in front of so many people, Li Shengcai blatantly threatened her to agree. If she didn’t, gossiping would be the least of her worries today—it might even lead to a talk with a teacher. She kept her composure and said, "Didn’t we leave three hundred pounds for you?"

"Where’s the three hundred pounds? I went to get it today, and while there was a bunch of people from Qin family’s pulling fertilizer, claiming to be your classmates’ relatives, when it came to my turn, there was none left; though there was clearly some still on the ground." Li Shengcai was frustrated and then complained, "Loser Qin even tried to hit me."

Thankfully, Old Mrs. Qin intervened in time, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to come to the school at all today.

In her heart, Li Qiao thought he deserved to be hit! "Do you know about your stepmother and Li Jinhua coming to steal my admission notice today?"

Li Shengcai’s eyes darted around evasively, "What? Steal an admission notice? I had no idea. Is that really a thing? Wait until I get home; I’m going to kill them!"

Qiaoqiao, regarding the fertilizer, you need to think of something; it’s going to rain soon, and we need to apply fertilizer to the seedlings. Every other house has their supply except for ours, and we’re already strapped for cash at home," Li Shengcai segued from pleading poverty to shifting the focus away from the admission notice matter.

Li Qiao saw right through Li Shengcai’s ruse. Given Qin Jin’s character, if he wanted to hit someone, he would make sure they knew why.

Li Shengcai was still hoping to get something for nothing, perhaps as others said, the betrothal gifts were taken by Qin Jin?

But she had asked Qin Jin, and he flatly denied it, swearing that if he lied he would have ten or eight daughters in the future.

In the countryside, sons were valued, and he wouldn’t dare make such a vow.

Li Qiao, to steady Li Shengcai’s emotions, endured his discomfort and said, "Don’t be anxious, I’ll write a note right now. You take it back to Jin, and after he reads it, he’ll get you the fertilizer."

Li Qiao went back to the classroom, wrote a note, and handed it to Li Shengcai.

Li Shengcai felt reassured.

At a critical moment, one’s own child is really reliable.

Li Jinhua is so useless, good for nothing but creating problems!

He took Li Qiao’s note to Qin Jin, but Qin Jin ripped it up without even looking at it and, with a bellow from deep within, roared, "This household isn’t going to be run by some little wife!"

"You, you, you," sputtered Li Shengcai angrily, "I, I, I’ll have her divorce you!"

Qin Jin’s expression darkened, "Divorce? She wouldn’t dare! I’d cause a scene at her middle school, her university! Make it so she can’t study and has to stay home to honestly bear children."

Li Shengcai nearly passed out with shock. Weren’t these the exact tactics he had prepared to use against Li Qiao if she disobeyed?

Qin Jin scoffed coldly, feeling frightened now, aren’t you? You think only you can play dirty and I can’t? "Scram! Otherwise, I’ll beat you with no discussion."

The youth twisted his neck, rolled up his sleeves to reveal his muscular arms, as if in the next second, his punch, filled with explosive force, would come swinging around.

Li Shengcai stood unsteadily, tense and looking around. Not seeing Old Mrs. Qin, he planned to beat a hasty retreat.

"Wait!"

Li Shengcai stopped in his tracks.

"Next time you get my wife to write a note, or if she blows any pillow talk my way, I’ll beat her first, then come after you!" Qin Jin’s demeanor was cold, his words reckless and without respect, his whole being radiating a chilling aura, his sharp gaze directly locking onto Li Shengcai.

Li Shengcai felt a chill down his spine, his cowardice manifesting in a stutter, "Ah, ah... "

"Go!" Qin Jin dismissed him with two words.

Li Shengcai, intimidated by Qin Jin, dared not trouble Li Qiao again, so he took out his anger on Li Jinhua.

The number of times he had hit Li Jinhua over the past decade could be counted on one hand’s fingers.

Now, just looking at her made him want to hit her.

He had people contact a matchmaker. No matter the conditions, as long as someone was willing to marry her, he would marry her off.

Dong Lamei disagreed, "Jinhua is not your own flesh and blood. What right do you have to make decisions about her marriage?"

Li Shengcai put up a rare firm front, "Which of the three daughters upstairs is your own flesh and blood? Didn’t you marry them all off? And now it’s your daughter’s turn, you say no?"

Dong Lamei argued confidently, "The men your three daughters married are good, each one proper and decent. Loser Qin is top-notch in good looks. As for my daughter, how can you just choose someone arbitrarily? Never mind family background, at the very least, shouldn’t the man match Loser Qin in appearance?"

Li Jinhua couldn’t help but get angry when she heard this. She harbored a stomach full of secrets she dared not speak out, but now she could no longer hide them, "Why didn’t you decide earlier to let me marry Loser Qin? Do you know how rich he will become? Last life, most of his money was uncountable. The house he lived in was bigger than our entire village. There must have been at least a dozen or twenty people just to clean. If you had married me off to him, I wouldn’t have to worry about food or clothes my entire life, I would live in comfort, with enough wealth to last several lifetimes..."

The more Li Jinhua spoke, the more agitated she became, her emotions spiraling out of control as she pounded on Dong Lamei. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

All because of this mother. If it weren’t for her letting Li Qiao marry Qin Jin, it would have definitely been her own marriage.

She was so close to becoming a wealthy lady!

How hard was her previous life, married to a selfish and useless man, who would eat all the good food behind her back.

How tenderly did Qin Jin treat his wife?

Every day he would feed Li Qiao fine flour and rice, alternating between fish and meat, with her clothes and belongings increasing in quality each month.

Dong Lamei’s head buzzed from the blows as she dodged and fled from Li Jinhua.

The girl had gone mad.
