How I Tamed My Wolfish Husband Back in 80s-Chapter 408 - 410: Foreknowledge_1

Yu Xiu couldn’t hide her envy. "I’d be content if I could have a comfortable life like you in the future."

Li Luo smiled. "Why not? As long as you’re not extravagant, with Brother Xue’s means, can’t he provide for you and the child?"

Yu Xiu: "I wouldn’t count on him to provide."

While the two were chatting, Qin Jin called everyone to dinner.

Xue Jingyi shouted for Yu Xiu.

After Qin Jin went inside to put the child down, she said to Li Luo, "You and Auntie stay home with the kids, I’ll bring back some food later."

Li Luo replied, "Okay."

The family left.

Li Jiaoyang took the opportunity to pull Li Jiaojiao aside and asked in private, "Why did Dad and Li Jinhua come with the child?" freёnovelkiss.com

Li Jiaojiao: "My in-laws asked me to go back and ask Dad if he wanted to live with us. Jinhua wanted to come to the city for a visit, so they came along."

"Who paid for the trip? Who’s paying for the accommodations?"

Li Jiaojiao: "Isn’t it Jin?"

Li Jiaoyang: "Have you lost your mind? Jin has caused trouble at our family home several times, haven’t I told you? How could he possibly pay? Qiaoqiao and Li Jinhua are at odds too."

Li Jiaojiao felt wronged: "I just wanted Dad to reconcile with Qiaoqiao. What kind of lasting grudge can there be between father and daughter? Besides, if the stepmother hadn’t married Qiaoqiao to Jin, there wouldn’t be the Qiaoqiao of today. We should be grateful. I won’t pay either, let Jinniu pay. Jinniu is making money now, he can afford it."

Li Jiaoyang was furious: "You’re the type who can’t feel pain until the knife cuts into your own flesh. Was the stepmother kind-hearted in marrying off Qiaoqiao? It was all because of the mess Cai Hechuan created, tarnishing her reputation. She was afraid Qiaoqiao wouldn’t be wanted and ended up pinning her on Jin. Later, mother and daughter conspired to steal Qiaoqiao’s admission notice, causing trouble every so often, even harassing Qiaoqiao at her job, pressuring her to pay for their support. If it were you, could you be grateful? Now Jin’s just helping Jinniu and that’s already above and beyond. You still want to test their limits. If it were me, I would cut ties with you for life."

Li Jiaojiao was anxious, no wonder Qiaoqiao was cold towards her today. "So what do we do now?"

"Don’t do this kind of thing again," said Li Jiaoyang, after giving Li Jiaojiao a verbal lecture.

......

Qin Jin led the group to a nearby restaurant, settled everyone in, and then ordered two meals to take home.

When Li Qiao and Auntie were eating, he quietly stayed with the child.

Li Qiao said, "Jin, aren’t you going to entertain the guests?"

"I’m leaving now." Qin Jin reluctantly left.

After Li Qiao finished dinner, it had gotten completely dark, and Auntie tidied up the dishes and utensils.

Li Qiao said, "Mrs. Tao, it’s getting late, you should go home. You can come over later tomorrow."

"Are you sure you’ll be okay by yourself?" Mrs. Tao was concerned.

Li Qiao: "I’ll be fine."

Mrs. Tao usually didn’t eat here and would leave at five o’clock.

It was already seven thirty today. She was concerned about her two kids at home, hesitated for a moment, then prepared to leave.

Li Qiao stopped her, "Take a basket of eggs from the kitchen with you."

"I couldn’t possibly do that."

Li Qiao: "It’s hot nowadays, and they’ll go bad if we don’t eat them all."

After hearing this, Mrs. Tao took a basket of eggs and didn’t forget to say thank you before leaving.

Li Qiao showed her out and, upon returning, locked the front door and then went in to accompany the child.

Watching the child sleep, she herself felt sleepy and dozed off, only to be awakened by the child’s crying. She immediately snapped alert, reaching instinctively for the child’s legs which were dry and clean.

At that moment, there was a knocking at the door, accompanied by the sound of a child’s crying.

She asked, "Who is it?"

"It’s me, Jinhua. After having our fill, we thought about going back to the hostel, but my sister said she doesn’t know where to stay for now, so we came over to rest a bit."

Li Jinhua’s words were hard to fault, and Li Qiao didn’t overthink it. She got up to open the door, but the child’s cries grew louder. She had no choice but to pick him up and step outside with him.

Upon seeing her step out, the child began to struggle with his arms and legs.

Li Qiao had already been holding him loosely, and his movement nearly made him tumble from her arms. Startled, her hairs stood on end, and her legs weakened. She quickly held the child tighter and then placed him on the bed to soothe him.

Outside, Li Jinhua continued to knock. "Third Sister, open the door."

Li Qiao impatiently said, "I can’t right now." I almost dropped my precious son trying to open the door for you. She gently wiped the tears from the child’s eyes and said tenderly, "Mommy won’t leave. I’ll stay right here with you. Next time you’re in my arms, can you not struggle so violently? What would I do if you fell?"

The child gradually stopped crying.

Li Jinhua kept knocking, she had just seen Mrs. Tao leave. Now, only Li Qiao and the child were at home.

She had medicine on her person, and should Li Qiao faint, she could make the child fall and become an idiot. When Li Qiao woke up, she would think the child fell on his own. What would Qin Jin do? What would Old Mrs. Qin do?

This family would fall apart sooner or later.

At that moment, the neighbor lady opened her door:

"Young wife, what are you doing?"

Li Jinhua: "Looking for my third sister, her door is closed and she won’t let me in."

The neighbor lady had seen Li Jinhua today and knew she was Li Qiao’s sister.

Li Qiao’s eldest sister was quite pretty, and she had seen the second sister today too; she was also very attractive. Li Qiao was the most handsome, but the three sisters had somewhat similar features. This one in front of her looked nothing like the rest.

Skin, appearance.

As if she wasn’t born from the same mother.

"She is probably putting the child to sleep. Why don’t you come and sit at my place?"

Li Jinhua’s eyes flickered and she whispered, "How could I impose? Big sister, why don’t you come with me and call?" As soon as the door opened and the lady left, it would be the perfect opportunity for her to act.

The neighbor kindly helped Li Jinhua call out.

Li Qiao responded, and as she got up, the child clung to her finger, pouting and about to cry again.

Li Qiao hurriedly sat down to calm the child, "There, there, mommy’s not leaving. Be good, don’t cry. It hurts my heart to see you cry." She called out to the lady outside, "Big sister, I can’t leave the child right now. That sister of mine, please entertain her at your place for now. When my partner comes back, I’ll ask him to call her."

The neighbor acknowledged.

Li Jinhua said, "I wouldn’t want to disturb you so late at night; I’ll just sit here and wait."

The neighbor couldn’t persuade her, "Then take your time waiting." She then left.

Li Jinhua was very anxious.

Just earlier when Old Mrs. Qin was about to open the door, the child cried.

Now, as Li Qiao was going to open it, the child cried again.

Did the child in Li Qiao’s family have a premonition of danger or what?

......

Qin Jin was entertaining relatives at the restaurant when he suddenly noticed Li Jinhua was missing. His face darkened, and he immediately said to Old Mrs. Qin, "At this hour, Mrs. Tao has probably gone home. You go back and help Qiaoqiao look after the child."

"All right."

Qin Jin then said to Li Jianguo, "My wife likes to drink fruit juice. You take grandma home, and by the way, bring this bottle of fruit juice back as well."

Li Jianguo agreed and escorted Old Mrs. Qin home.

As they approached the entrance to the alley, they could see a shadow sitting on the threshold of the Qin family’s door from afar.

If not Li Jinhua, then who else could it be?

Old Mrs. Qin asked, "Why are you here instead of eating?"

Li Jinhua’s heart tightened—how had they returned so quickly? She calmly explained, "I’ve eaten my fill. I had nowhere to rest, so I thought I’d come and sit here a while." While speaking, she glanced at Li Jianguo.

Li Jianguo had changed tremendously.

Before, he was just a country bumpkin. Now, after being with Qin Jin, not only had he learned how to dress, but he also had an air of authority about him.

Especially when he looked at someone, his eyes were unusually sharp.

Clearly a successful individual.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she slightly lowered her head.

From this angle, she should be at her most beautiful.

When she married Li Jianguo, he had wanted to touch her a few times, but she hadn’t agreed. Now, although she had given birth, as long as he had the slightest hint of agreeing.

Added with her initiative.

She was sure she could win him over and return to his side.
