How I Tamed My Wolfish Husband Back in 80s-Chapter 347 - 349: Setting a Trap_1

Li Qiao, fearless, shouted at the retreating figure, "I’ll be waiting for you!" Bastard! "You’re infuriating!"

Nan Chuyi: "Such people are all bark and no bite, not worth our attention."

Li Qiao hummed in agreement, adjusted her mood, and went window shopping with Nan Chuyi. They passed by a movie theater and decided to buy tickets to see a film. It told a story of a knowledgeable young woman who fell in love with a simple young man in the village. In the end, the woman gave up the chance to return to the city, choosing instead to stay and contribute to the rural community.

"The woman is a bit foolish," Nan Chuyi remarked.

Li Qiao raised an eyebrow: "Why do you say that?"

Nan Chuyi: "Our village is nestled between the mountains and the river, quite similar to the setting in the film. Many of the youths in the village have bad habits. They don’t take their work seriously, and there are educated youths nearby. Marrying them seems good at first, but once children come into the picture, their true colors show. Some beat their wives, others are alcoholics. Any girl who has the chance to leave does so without a second thought." That was also why she had come to the city.

She had a family legacy to uphold and needed a man with excellent genes to carry it on.

Li Qiao: "You’re very insightful." It’s rare these days for a girl to understand the true nature of marriage. Most realize it only after they’ve fallen head over heels and lived to regret it.

"There are many such examples around me," Nan Chuyi said. "If I have a daughter in the future, I will definitely recruit a son-in-law."

Li Qiao laughed: "You and Qin Jin think exactly alike."

Nan Chuyi grinned: "There’s a slight difference though. If I have a daughter, it’s to continue the Nan Family’s medical skill. My grandfather also had a recruited son-in-law."

Li Qiao: "Aren’t there more boys learning medicine? Men have more energy, so it seems like having a son would be better. Won’t it be too exhausting for a girl to study medicine?"

"You have a point; I often got woken up from my sleep to study when I was little."

Li Qiao was very interested in her childhood and asked about the range of her studies.

The two of them chatted non-stop about this topic and eventually moved on to the topic of men.

Nan Chuyi asked her about how she usually got along with Qin Jin.

Li Qiao: "We just eat together, sleep together, what else is there to do? Do you guys have other ways to play?"

Nan Chuyi: "No." Since she kicked him out of bed, he hadn’t returned home.

She waited for him all day in his dorm at school, planning to appease him, but didn’t see him.

She didn’t know where he had gone and felt too embarrassed to inquire around.

Li Qiao: "I heard from classmates that the maple forest near the Great Wall has turned red. We could go see it this weekend. In a little while, when the weather gets colder, we won’t be able to spend much time outdoors."

"That’s fine, but Professor Xue has been quite busy recently and hasn’t been going home. Every time I go to school to find him, he’s always teaching, and we can’t seem to meet up. You’re closer to him at school; would it be convenient for you to let him know?" Nan Chuyi couldn’t bring herself to ask directly, so she took this chance to coax Li Qiao into persuading Xue Lingqing.

Li Qiao didn’t think much of it: "Sure."

She and Nan Chuyi spent the entire afternoon together and parted ways in the evening.

When Li Qiao returned to the dorm to look for her books and prepare for the library, Ma Hongxiang pulled out two red certificates.

They were accounting grade certificates.

One belonged to Qin Jin and the other was hers.

"Why do you have them?"

"Because I also took the exam," Ma Hongxiang said. "They issued the certificates today, and I brought yours along too. It’s a good thing we took the exam this year; I heard they’re going to raise the bar and make it harder next year."

Xue Sufen: "You’re not going to be an accountant, so what’s the use of taking that exam?"

Li Qiao: "It may not be useful right now, but I just wanted to take it. What’s it to you?"

Xue Sufen: "....."

......

Li Qiao didn’t go to the library, instead she took the certificate and went home.

Old Mrs. Qin was overjoyed and moved to tears upon seeing it.

Li Qiao felt both heartache and amusement: "Grandma, it’s just a certificate, is it worth crying over?"

Old Mrs. Qin wiped her tears while smiling, "I’m just too happy." But she was also sad.

If it hadn’t been for the sudden change in the family, the child would definitely have gone to university and had a decent and stable job, just like Xue Family’s Third Child.

Instead of doing business,

and looking to others’ faces all the time.

She added, "Keep both of them for me."

Li Qiao handed them to her efficiently.

The aunt from next door came over for a visit and heard the conversation, "Isn’t Jin preparing to do business? Is there still any use for qualifying exams?"

Old Mrs. Qin, "We weren’t planning on doing business when we started studying, and once we’ve started, we can’t just give up halfway."

The neighbor, "How much does it cost to take this exam? Can my daughter-in-law take it? She’s just a high school graduate."

Li Qiao, "This year it’s free, next year I don’t know. Those of you who have graduated from high school should first take the vocational qualification certificate exam before you can take this level certificate."

"Did you also take the vocational qualification exam?"

Li Qiao, "No, the exams we take and those who don’t go to university have different requirements. You should hurry if you want to take it." Now the threshold for exam qualifications is low, but it might have standards in the future.

"What all needs to be prepared? I will tell my daughter-in-law later."

The neighbor was a nice lady, and Li Qiao kindly said, "I happen to have the books at home. You can register for the vocational qualification certificate exam at the night school. If you pass, I can find out more for you about later exams."

"Are you off work on Saturday? I’ll have my daughter-in-law come over and ask you in detail then."

Li Qiao readily agreed, "I’m off, sure."

After the neighbor left, Li Qiao and Old Mrs. Qin cooperated in making dinner.

It was dark, Qin Jin hadn’t come home, and the two ate first.

After dinner, Li Qiao took the dog for a walk. The dog didn’t run to the outskirts but insistently pulled Li Qiao towards the school. Whenever they encountered other dogs, their own would go over to sniff.

Li Qiao guessed that the dog was looking for a partner.

With the streets dark and the people scarce, she unhooked the leash from the dog’s collar, letting it look for a mate.

She stood waiting in the same spot.

About fifteen minutes later, a figure appeared in front of her, it was Ji Dongming, who came at her furiously.

Li Qiao warned, "I’d advise you not to mess around, my dog is nearby, and it’s quite perceptive."

Ji Dongming couldn’t hear a thing. The more he thought about it during the day, the angrier he became, especially after learning that his mother had fallen ill from shock due to their home being raided and was now in the hospital. The mastermind behind everything was freely walking around, and he was desperate to exact justice from her.

After approaching Li Qiao, he swung his arm at her.

Li Qiao easily dodged.

Ji Dongming hit nothing but air and became even more furious.

Taking three steps in two, he swung his fists at Li Qiao again, and she continued to dodge.

The Puppy appeared out of nowhere, knocked Ji Dongming down, bared its teeth and made threatening sounds as if about to bite.

Ji Dongming screamed in fear.

"Dahuang, no!" Li Qiao said in time, and the dog jumped off Ji Dongming.

Ji Dongming’s legs went soft. Damn woman, she was lucky today; he scrambled to his feet, wanting to leave.

Li Qiao said, "You disregard professional ethics and exposed my matter, causing a great impact on me. I haven’t come after you, yet you’re pestering me. You just wait and see!"

Ji Dongming retorted like a madman, "I’m waiting! If you’re capable, have your man beat me to death. Otherwise, as long as I am here, you will never have peace."

Li Qiao was speechless; now the person who did wrong was in the right? The next day, she took the time to report the incident to her teacher.
