How I Tamed My Wolfish Husband Back in 80s-Chapter 338 - 340: Satisfaction and Departure_1

Qin Jin cursed, "Damn it, I’ll just get another dog tomorrow, let it bite anyone who dares to set their dog on me."

Li Qiao disagreed, actually biting someone could be serious, and dogs need to be walked every day, they get restless in spring—she was already bothered by one.

Moreover, during the New Year, they all went back to their hometown, and they couldn’t always trouble Professor Xue to take care of it, could they?

Speaking of going back to their hometown, her thoughts shifted, "Jin, I might as well go back to our hometown with you now, my studies are quite relaxed at the moment, I can ask for leave to accompany you."

Qin Jin felt a tightness in his chest, to leave now? And under the pretense of accompanying him?

If she left, what was he supposed to do?

According to her, would the woman in front really come back?

He refused to live with that woman, even if she had the same face.

But if he didn’t take her this time, she would sneak off on her own.

After much hesitation, he decided to agree, "Okay." If she truly chose to leave, he could wait for her, but he worried that by then, he’d be old, and she, still young, might despise him. He thought for a moment and asked, "What if one day, I become an old man and you’re still young, would you still fancy me?"

Li Qiao tilted her head, "Your question is a bit abstract, but I can tell you clearly, I don’t like old men, and I won’t fancy them, they smell of old age. It’s better if we age together, we’ll both have that old person’s smell, and neither of us can complain about the other."

Qin Jin: "...."

....

As she had to invite Nan Chuyi for dinner, Li Qiao went to the Xue Family’s place to pick someone up at four-thirty in the afternoon.

The weather was a bit cool in the evening.

Taking a slightly thick jacket with her, Nan Chuyi came downstairs, and Xue Sufen said, "Where are you going at this hour? Aren’t you cooking dinner? Waiting for my grandma to cook for you again, ah? She’s not your real mom; she doesn’t know how to spoil you."

"If I don’t come to your house, does she not have to cook? Do you all live on air? If you’re so concerned, why drag me into it?"

Xue Sufen: "...." Isn’t a wife supposed to serve?

"You enjoy being a wife and serving others, you do it. At my home, grandma never makes me work; I do it when I feel like it. Coming to your place, it somehow becomes an obligatory task. From today onwards, I won’t do it. When your younger cousin gets back, I’ll have him learn cooking from Qin Jin. From now on, he’ll handle all the household chores. If he doesn’t learn, I’ll see how I’ll prick him with a needle." Having said that, Nan Chuyi left.

Actually, the atmosphere in this family was quite nice.

It’s just Xue Lingqing’s mom and this niece who are too troublesome.

No wonder the elder sister-in-law doesn’t come back on the weekends.

She must be afraid of her mother-in-law.

Xue Sufen was infuriated. Her brother-in-law was a university professor, and she was expected to learn from that little ruffian?

If her brother-in-law learned to cook, what would they need a wife for?

Once outside, Li Qiao admired Nan Chuyi, "You’re really formidable. If it were me married into their family, I would’ve gone crazy by now." Xue Sufen was manageable, but the real issue was Madam Xue—it’s difficult with elders.

Nan Chuyi replied, "Where there’s oppression, there’s resistance. I wasn’t tough when I first came to their family, they forced me to be." She really wanted to move out, she had almost decided to stay at the dormitory.

Old Mr. Xue found her and insisted she come home to stay.

The reason was that the campus wasn’t safe.

Unable to withstand the old man’s concern, she had to go home with him.

...

Li Qiao and Nan Chuyi arrived at the restaurant, where Old Mrs. Qin and Qin Jin were already waiting.

Old Mrs. Qin: "I didn’t know your taste, so I had Jin order according to the dishes Qiaoqiao usually likes."

Nan Chuyi smiled, "I’m not picky."

During the meal, Old Mrs. Qin kept adding food to her bowl with the serving chopsticks.

Nan Chuyi stared at the other’s hands and thought of her own grandmother, feeling a sudden surge of sadness. At nine, when her parents went to work in the fields, a landslide took them, and they were buried beneath it.

Their bodies were never found.

From then on, she had only her grandmother left, and now her grandmother was gone too, leaving her alone, with no one to cherish or love her.

"Mrs. Xue, does the food suit your palate?" Li Qiao asked.

"It suits me fine," Nan Chuyi snapped back to reality and replied.

Old Mrs. Qin said, "If you ever don’t feel like cooking, come to our house for a meal. Jin has learned from the cook and is quite skilled."

Nan Chuyi felt warmed by her words and her mood lightened. She chuckled, "I can’t come every day, though. When Lingqing gets back, I’ll have him learn from you, Jin."

Qin Jin replied, "Sure thing."

"....."

After dinner, it had almost gotten dark. free𝑤ebnovel.com

As the group reached the mouth of the alley, Old Mrs. Qin, worried about Nan Chuyi walking home alone, instructed Qin Jin to escort her into the family courtyard.

Nan Chuyi repeatedly said it wasn’t necessary.

Old Mrs. Qin insisted, "You should still be escorted."

Nan Chuyi no longer refused, and Qin Jin escorted her to the gate. As he was about to leave, Xue Sufen’s voice came through: "I knew she was up to no good when she went out, now she’s mixing with Qin Jin."

Jiang Wanqiu challenged, "How come you are together with Qin Jin?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Jin turned back and returned, "Our family invited her for a meal...." He explained what had happened.

"Why wasn’t it Li Qiao who escorted her? I think you’re carrying on behind Li Qiao’s back with her. You two are.... Ah." Xue Sufen’s accusations were cut short as Qin Jin slapped her across the face.

With a smack,

Nan Chuyi jumped in fright.

Goodness, Qin Jin even hits a woman.

Li Qiao hasn’t been slapped, has he?

Qin Jin seethed, "I’ve tolerated you for a long time! Call me a hooligan, a ruffian, I accept, but not messing with women. If this gets to my wife and she misunderstands, becomes angry with me, and runs away, will you compensate for my wife? Don’t let there be a next time! Humph!" He stormed off.

Xue Sufen cried out in pain and lunged towards Qin Jin.

Qin Jin legged it, took a turn at the corner to hide, waited for Xue Sufen to catch up, stretched out his leg, and tripped her.

Xue Sufen screamed as she fell face first into the mud. By the time she got back up, Qin Jin was nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Wanqiu caught up and Xue Sufen complained tearfully about Qin Jin’s atrocious behavior, "That thug! Wuuu...."

Jiang Wanqiu was filled with righteous indignation. He hit her grandchild right in front of her; did he even consider her feelings? She went home with Xue Sufen.

They could hear the laughter of Nan Chuyi and Old Mr. Xue from a distance.

Jiang Wanqiu couldn’t contain her anger: "Nan Chuyi! Qin Jin hit your niece, yet you said nothing and just left? Walking alone with Qin Jin in the late evening, aren’t you worried about people getting the wrong idea?"

Old Mr. Xue was furious. Can’t this old woman stay quiet for a single day? "What happened this time?"

Jiang Wanqiu downplayed the situation while explaining.

Old Mr. Xue defended, "Don’t talk nonsense! Chuyi and Jin are not like that."

Nan Chuyi took over, "It’s true that I came back with Qin Jin because I had earlier prepared a prescription for Old Mrs. Qin, and they simply wouldn’t let me dine with them – they were too enthusiastic to refuse. As it got dark, Old Mrs. Qin mentioned it’s quite a distance back to our place and she was worried about encountering hooligans, so she had Qin Jin walk me home. He left as soon as we reached the family courtyard gate. As for Sufen getting hit by Jin, I didn’t see it."

Xue Sufen was silent.

Jiang Wanqiu accused, "Lying with your eyes open, aren’t you?"

Emboldened by Jiang Wanqiu’s presence, Xue Sufen added, "I knew she was lying." Such a scheming woman! Two-faced, showing one side in front of others and another behind their backs.

"You’re saying I lied?" Nan Chuyi’s face darkened.

Just because they walked together, they were accused of improper relations.

Is this something a university graduate would say?

If Qin Jin didn’t hit her, she’d have been tempted to stitch up her mouth.

Getting slapped was no less than deserved!

Jiang Wanqiu was adamant, "Everything I said is the truth."

"So is everything I said. If there’s a single lie in my words, may I be barren of sons!"

"Pah!" Jiang Wanqiu was incensed, barren of sons—wasn’t that a curse on her son? This wretched girl, daring to swear on her son’s fate!
