How I Tamed My Wolfish Husband Back in 80s-Chapter 86: Go for Broke_1

Li Qiao shook her head helplessly, her voice trembling, "Grandma, I’m not in the mood for school right now. Let me take a break for a while. As for getting married, I only want Jin."

She had started out seeking a match in a playful spirit.

She had never thought about falling in love or getting married.

Because every time she opened her phone, it wasn’t the ancient Wang Baochuan digging wild vegetables for eighteen years or Qin Xianglian abandoned by her husband. It was about someone being domestically abused, cut off from inheritance, or schemed against by their in-laws.

Far too terrifying.

Later on, once she entered university, she would be a university student, and others seeking her out for that status surely wouldn’t be sincere.

Qin Jin was different, he had no virgin complex, not caring whether she was a university student or not, only looking forward to their future together.

"Life is too hard for a woman, and you’re still young," Old Mrs. Qin felt as if all her vitality was being drained away. freewёbnoνel.com

She felt utterly exhausted after just a few words.

Li Qiao held Old Mrs. Qin’s hand tightly, "But I still have you, don’t I? Grandma, be strong, when I get into university I will honor you, take care of you in your old age, and stay by your side for life."

Old Mrs. Qin rarely showed a smile. "Oh."

A chill passed through Dong Lamei, that damn old hag, the words she spoke in public seemed to be for Li Qiao’s benefit, but in the dark, wasn’t she just suggesting Li Qiao become a widow for Loser Qin? And this Li Qiao, how stupid can she be?

The man is dead.

Why stick with an old widow?

Isn’t that just adding a burden to herself?

Li Jiaoyang said, "Old Mrs. Qin, I made some porridge for you to drink; your health is important."

Old Mrs. Qin, comforted by Li Qiao’s reassurance, regained a bit of the will to live and forced herself to sit up and drink the porridge.

Li Qiao also ate a little.

With Old Mrs. Qin sick, she couldn’t afford to fall apart, there were still many things at home that needed her attention.

Feng Fugui found Li Qiao, "Sister-in-law, today I’m planning to find someone to calculate a good day for the burial, please write down Jin’s date and time of birth for me."

Li Qiao endured the heartache and meticulously wrote down Qin Jin’s birth details.

When Feng Fugui was about to leave, she stopped him.

She pulled out the talisman from her body, "Find someone to see what this drawing means." She handed some money to Feng Fugui.

Feng Fugui refused to take it.

Li Qiao forcibly stuffed it into his hands, "It’s only right to take money for a job; it’s unreasonable to make you run around for nothing. Thank you, when I, Li Qiao, make something of myself, I’ll definitely not forget you brothers."

Feng Fugui, "... Oh."

Feng Fugui just listened; what great success could come from a woman? Nevertheless, her tone was truly like Jin’s.

It was truly a pity for Jin.

No sooner had Feng Fugui left than Dong Lamei pulled Li Qiao into the new room, her eyes glancing disdainfully at the person lying on the floor. "Qiaoqiao, I have something to discuss with you today, Jin’s gone, and it’s hard for a woman to live alone. Your father and I have talked about it, and we’ve found you a new in-law family. It’s my mother’s eldest nephew, whom you’ve met before, seven years older than you, a bit short, but the man’s never been married—perfect for a second marriage for you... Ah!"

Li Qiao’s anger ignited and she kicked Dong Lamei against the door.

There was a loud bang.

She was already miserable enough as a newlywed widow.

Dong Lamei even disliked that she wasn’t miserable enough and dug another pit for her.

And her own father! She couldn’t break ties with them—all reason would be outraged.

"Get out!"

"You, you, you, ow! How could you hit your own mother?" Dong Lamei clutched her belly, feeling as if her organs had shifted.

"What kind of mother are you to me!" Li Qiao threw caution to the wind, grabbing the other’s collar and delivering two slaps across the face, then pushed her out of the door.

Dong Lamei cried out that Li Qiao had hit her.

Li Shengcai helped her up and knocked on the door, reprimanding Li Qiao, "You wretched girl, hitting your own mother, are you rebelling? What did your in-laws teach you, hanging around with Loser Qin and turning into someone who disrespects her elders, hurry up and come home to apologize."

Li Qiao wouldn’t open the door.

Li Shengcai rapped wildly, the door shaking so much that it seemed as if it would collapse any second.

At the end of his patience, Li Qiao pulled the bolt, and the door was flung open. Li Shengcai, carried by his momentum, tripped over a corpse and fell directly on top of it.

After realizing what happened, he yelled and scrambled out of the room.

Li Qiao followed with a grim face.

Dong Lamei, beyond caring about her dignity, cursed: "You ungrateful girl! After I raised you with such hardship for over a decade, you actually hit me and even plotted to make your father fall, are you still human? Today, I, as your mother, won’t be able to face your birth mother if I don’t take you back and discipline you properly."

The Qin family was left with only an almost lifeless old woman who couldn’t stir up any trouble.

As long as she took Li Qiao back home, Li Qiao would have to marry even if she didn’t want to.

She signaled with her eyes to Li Shengcai.

Now that he had his orders, Li Shengcai again tried to grab Li Qiao.

Li Jiaoyang stepped in front of Li Qiao: "Dad, the Qin family is busy, what’s the hurry to take Qiaoqiao home? And Dong Lamei, if you treat my sister like that, beware that my birth mother might come looking for you at night."

Li Shengcai shoved Li Jiaoyang aside: "You wretched girl, what nonsense are you spouting? Get out of the way!"

Li Qiao glared furiously: "I warn you, take one more step forward and don’t blame me for disowning my relations."

"You want to defy heaven too?" Li Shengcai grabbed Li Qiao’s wrist in one move.

Li Qiao used the momentum to throw him over her shoulder.

Li Shengcai landed on his back with his limbs splayed, the ground beneath him a mess of mud. He felt pain in his back and waist and a chill seeping into his skin.

His back was soaked through.

Everyone was stunned into speechlessness by the sudden turn of events.

That Li Qiao could actually take down a grown man was astonishing.

"Everybody, come and judge this! A daughter has hit her father. Loser Qin has led our family’s girl astray," clamored Dong Lamei.

"Yeah, Qiaoqiao, how could you hit your father?"

"And hit your mother too, aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

"I am not their daughter, lightning won’t strike me, hitting them is simply acting on heaven’s behalf." Li Qiao was indignant.

Li Shengcai, infuriated, leapt up and swung his arm, preparing to hit again.

Li Qiao deftly dodged: "Calling you ’father’ and ’mother’ is already giving you face. Right after Jin left, you started scheming to marry me off to your nephew. I didn’t agree, so you tried to take me back by force. Brazenly looting a burning house. And you even found a beautiful excuse, shameless! If Jin’s soul is watching, he should come back tonight and drag you both away."

Upon hearing this, everyone started to gossip.

The majority were scolding Li Shengcai and Dong Lamei.

The couple couldn’t save face.

The latter was even wiping away tears: "I’m doing this for the child’s good. How is a woman supposed to live the rest of her days as a widow?"

Li Jiaoyang and Li Jiaojiao were absolutely furious.

It was bad enough their sister’s family was going through such a tough time; instead of helping her through the difficulties, her parents were actually thinking of seizing the opportunity of having only a bedridden old woman at home to take the sister away to be remarried. This was utterly heartless.

And they had the nerve to say it was for her sister’s good?

The sisters grabbed Dong Lamei’s hair and started to scuffle.

"It’s all because of you egging on dad!"

Dong Lamei’s hair was pulled out by the handful, and she screamed in pain.

The eldest brother-in-law and second brother-in-law stepped forward each to pull away their respective wives.

Li Shengcai saw the situation escalating and intended to punish the instigator, but he was also wary of Li Qiao; this damn girl, after marrying Loser, had picked up a trick or two, and his whole body ached from her throw.

Li Jiaoyang, being the closest to him, received a slap intended as a warning to others.

Li Jiaoyang froze as she was tearing at Dong Lamei, not believing Li Shengcai would hit her. Her heart suddenly chilled. "So you don’t care about your daughter for this woman’s sake, huh? Don’t expect me to look after you when you get old!"
