How I Tamed My Wolfish Husband Back in 80s-Chapter 417 - 419: Certificate_1
Chapter 417: Chapter 419: Certificate_1
Old Mrs. Qin also laughed, "Qin Baby is too smart."
Mrs. Feng couldn’t believe her own ears, "He can really call out, can’t he? What’s his name? How is it written?"
Old Mrs. Qin pointed to the baby crib, "It’s carved on the head of the bed, Jin carved it by hand."
Mrs. Feng looked closely for a long time, "I don’t really recognize it, it doesn’t sound as nice as my Feng Yaozu’s name, which was specifically chosen by someone for us, meaning ’to bring glory to the ancestors.’"
Old Mrs. Qin, "It’s quite a good meaning, but we don’t have any special meaning."
Mrs. Feng, "I can help you find someone to pick a new name with a good meaning. My Yaozu, your baby could be called ’Bringer of Glory.’"
Old Mrs. Qin, ".... Let’s still call him Yunye." She had experienced many ups and downs in life.
How to ’bring glory to the ancestors’ is not as important as being safe and healthy.
Furthermore, the child is still young; he can’t shoulder such a heavy burden.
"It’s Qiaoqiao who picked the name, isn’t it? Are you afraid she’ll get angry if you change it?"
"I picked it," Old Mrs. Qin said.
Mrs. Feng glanced around and locked eyes with Mrs. Tao at the other end of the baby crib, "Is this your neighbor?"
Mrs. Tao, "No, I’m not a neighbor, I specially came over to take care of the baby."
"You even hire someone to take care of him?" Jin Daxue was envious and jealous. In her family, she was the one taking care of everything; although her mother-in-law verbally took care, the truth was that all child-related matters were managed by her. And they were telling her to have another child while she was in Beijing.
She indeed wanted to have another child, but who would help her take care of it?
It would be fine if her partner were like Qin Jin, finding someone to specifically take care of the child at home. She would be willing to have two more children.
Old Mrs. Qin, "We had no choice but to hire someone, I’m getting old and it’s not easy for me to care for a child."
One mustn’t refuse to accept their age.
She used to think she could do it.
After taking a fall, she understood.
Elderly people don’t handle falls well. She was lucky last time, not getting seriously hurt.
Would she be that lucky next time?
It would be fine if a fall killed her, but if it paralyzed her, wouldn’t she become a burden to the child?
So it’s better to be more down-to-earth.
Mrs. Feng was asking about the nanny’s salary, as well as the working hours. After learning that Mrs. Tao was paid seventy a month, didn’t need to take care of the baby at night, and had two days off a week, she was deeply shocked. She whispered to Old Mrs. Qin, "The nanny you hired looks fierce; isn’t the baby scared of her? Seventy a month is too expensive. You might as well let our family take care of him, we won’t charge you."
If their family took care of Qin Jin’s baby, he would definitely think of her son when good opportunities arose. freёweɓnovel.com
What an excellent arrangement, right?
Old Mrs. Qin secretly curled her lips, thinking you don’t even take care of your own grandson much, how can I trust you with my child? "Mrs. Tao is very nice, meticulous in her work. She takes care of everything inside and outside of the house, and the baby really likes her."
One can’t judge by appearances.
The previous nanny looked kind, but whatever my daughter-in-law asked for, she did the opposite.
She even instigated conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
No integrity at all.
Mrs. Feng planned to go home and talk to Feng Kui about it, to encourage Qin Jin to hand over the baby to them.
A stranger caring for the baby could never be as good as familiar people.
.......
As they were talking, there came a knock at the door.
Li Qiao answered, "Who is it?"
"It’s me, Mao Yawen."
Li Qiao showed a flash of surprise in her eyes as she went to open the door, "Yawen, what brings you here? There isn’t another case you need me for, is there?"
"There is indeed. I’m also here to deliver your certificate," Mao Yawen said, taking out a certificate and handing it over to Li Qiao.
Li Qiao took it and laughed upon reading.
Awarded to Li Qiao, the title of Top Scholar Detective, this certificate is issued as an encouragement.
The signature of the head of the criminal investigation team and the official seal of the unit were underneath.
"I was just being polite with you all, and you actually issued me a certificate."
"Words must be followed by actions, and actions must produce results," Mao Yawen replied.
Li Qiao led Mao Yawen into the house to sit.
Mao Yawen waved her hand, "There’s an urgent matter, you’d better come with me now."
Li Qiao didn’t hesitate, "Alright, let me just put away my certificate."
"Sure." Mao Yawen stood by the door waiting.
After Li Qiao entered the house and put away her certificate, she informed Old Mrs. Qin and then said to Qin Baby, "Baby, Mommy suddenly has something to do, so stay with Great-Grandma and Aunt Tao at home, okay?"
Qin Baby obediently replied with a hum~
Li Qiao bent down to kiss him twice, and he giggled shyly.
Li Qiao also smiled.
Jin Daxue asked, "What’s the matter? Who’s looking for you? It’s all so secretive."
Li Qiao responded as she walked away, "It’s from the criminal investigation team, I can’t go into details with you."
Mrs. Feng curiously said, "Qiaoqiao put something in the drawer, aren’t you going to check it out?"
"Why should I snoop through someone else’s drawer?"
"It’s my own child, what’s wrong with checking?" Mrs. Feng retorted unconcernedly.
Old Mrs. Qin replied, "Even if it was my own son, I wouldn’t snoop. Think about it, would you be happy if Kui snooped through your things?" Relations between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are already complicated, and if an elder is too controlling, doesn’t it just add to the conflict?
"He’s a junior; it’s improper for him to snoop through his elder’s things. We are the elders, of course we should." she contested.
Old Mrs. Qin replied, "To each their own, we have different opinions. There’s nothing interesting in there anyway, probably honor certificates. Qiaoqiao often brings those kinds of certificates home, all those scholarship awards, outstanding student recognitions, and such."
Mrs. Feng muttered to herself, "All this talk, just to show off what her daughter-in-law is capable of, huh?"
.......
Out on the main road.
Li Qiao learned the details of the case from Mao Yawen.
A week ago, the dormitory of a female employee at a food packaging factory in the suburbs was poisoned, killing six people all at once.
Everyone had checked all of the employees and their connections. Without any grudges or motives, nor the conditions to commit the crime, no suspects had been found to this day.
Due to the seriousness of the case, the higher-ups demanded a quick solution. Two days ago, they had invited experts to discuss the case, but still hadn’t found a suitable solution.
"You’re a top student and have cracked a fair number of cases; we thought to ask you to join in on the investigation."
Li Qiao said, "I need to take a leave from school."
"Okay."
After Li Qiao took her leave, she went to the suburban food packaging factory with Mao Yawen.
The factory workers were already busy with their tasks.
People were coming and going at the entrance, all carrying goods.
The dormitory area, and the door to the scene of the crime, was locked.
Mao Yawen found someone to unlock it.
Inside, the room was kept as it had been when the bodies were discovered.
When Li Qiao entered, the wind whistled through the windows with a loud noise, and the door creaked back and forth.
Mao Yawen whispered, "This room where people died feels so chilly and eerie."
Li Qiao said, "Don’t scare me, okay. Actually, the location of this building is not good. It doesn’t face south as it should; instead, it faces west. It’s cold in winter, hot in summer. Now it’s November, right as winter starts, so of course it’s cold."
She looked around the room in all directions.
Besides quilts, clothes, and some personal items, there was nothing unusual.
She asked, "Did you guys take anything from here?"
"A photo, a group picture of the six people from the dormitory," answered Mao Yawen.
Li Qiao, "Where was the group picture taken?"
Mao Yawen, "Ancient city. Did you think of something?"
Li Qiao said, "I was just wondering who took the photo. Back in high school when we took graduation photos, there were classmates who couldn’t afford to pay for them. When everyone was getting their photos, they would just stand by and watch. We should ask the photographer about it, if it was only the six of them there at the time."
Mao Yawen, "There are dozens of small and large photo studios in the city; it’s not going to be easy to inquire."
