25 -25: Smoking Fury_1
Time shifted back a little.
Jinhua ran back home in a frenzy, “Dad, Mom, something terrible has happened.
I, I…
Sister, oh my, she…”
Jinhua spoke breathlessly, deliberately avoiding the main point.
The eldest sister, Jiaoyang, was extremely anxious, “What happened to my third sister?
Just spit it out clearly.”
The whole family gathered around to inquire.
Jinhua purposefully dallied, appearing hesitant to speak.
Lamei nearly jumped with impatience, “What happened to your third sister?
Just say it quickly!”
Suddenly, Jinhua began to falter, “I, I…
don’t know how to say it.” She paused, seeming to make a great decision, “Ah, I saw her, she and Hechuan snuck into the haystack at the entrance of the village.”
Silence fell all around.
Neighbors who had come to visit stopped at the doorway to listen, wearing expressions of disbelief.
“Impossible, right?”
“Qiaoqiao is so decent.”
Discovering people at the door and knowing he couldn’t hide the matter, Shengcai was both angry and ashamed.
He snatched up a shovel by the door and bellowed, “This shameless wretch of a girl.” He stormed off in a fury.
The elder sisters and the others, worried that something might go wrong, followed quickly on his heels.
The nosy neighbors also went to see what the commotion was about, leaving the courtyard suddenly empty.
“Where’s my third brother-in-law?” It dawned on Jinhua that Qin Jin wasn’t in the yard.
Her complexion changed drastically; she had let the secret slip in hopes that he would catch them in the act himself.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have spoken up.
Now that she had initiated the rumor, how could Li Qiao ever look at her kindly again?
“What if your third brother-in-law finds out?
Won’t that be terrible?” Lamei instructed Jinhua to keep this from Qin Jin.
She too walked towards the entrance of the village.
Jinhua followed closely behind.
Shengcai, seething with fury, headed straight for the village entrance haystack, cursing as if grieving the unfulfilled promise of a loved one, “Why can’t this wretched girl just live peaceably with Jin?
Always causing trouble, shameless creature.
Today, I’ll beat her to death…”
Jinhua ran ahead of everyone else, unaware of which haystack the pair had crawled into, she began searching separately from the rest.
……
Inside the haystack.
The young man kept urging her, and Li Qiao had no choice but to go along with it.
Who told her to mess up?
But as footsteps grew closer and closer outside, her anxiety heightened.
“Jin, there are really people coming.”
“What’s there to be afraid of!
They can’t exactly crawl in here to watch, can they?” Qin Jin squinted his eyes and sighed.
At that moment, the straw at the entrance was lifted, letting in a sliver of light.
Li Qiao saw Jinhua.
She screamed.
Qin Jin shuddered in fright, reflexively kicking out and striking Jinhua’s face.
Ah!
Jinhua rolled out awkwardly, her nose suddenly warm with a hot flow.
Touching her hand to it, she realized she was bleeding from the nose.
She cried out in panic, “My nose…”
Li Qiao cried too, utterly humiliated.
She hid behind Qin Jin and fiercely twisted the flesh at the back of his neck, “It’s all your fault, I don’t want to live anymore.”
Qin Jin hissed in pain, fury blazing in his eyes as he quickly sorted out his clothes and burst outside.
Outside stood seven or eight people, including the Lis, and two neighboring doorkeepers.
They looked at each other in bewilderment.
Jinhua looked at Qin Jin as if seeing a ghost, “How, how could it be you?”
Qin Jin’s handsome face turned ashen, “What do you mean?
What is all this about?”
Jinhua stammered, “I, I, someone saw third sister and Hechuan enter the haystack, we came to see.”
Li Jinhua specifically emphasized the phrase “someone else.”
“What are those kids up to?” He Qiurong passed by the village entrance and, hearing Cai Hechuan’s name, came down from the path and called out, “Hechuan.” After approaching, her gaze fell on the haystack in front of her.
Thinking her son and Li Qiao were hiding in the haystack, trapped inside by Qin Jin and his people, she immediately shifted the blame, “It must be your family’s Li Qiao seducing my son.
Why aren’t you dealing with the instigator and instead blocking my son?
Hechuan, come out.”
She moved forward to collect her son, but was stopped by Qin Jin, “Your son isn’t here.
With his cowardly demeanor, who would bother to seduce him?
Only you would treasure him like gold.”
“Take a good look at yourself in the mirror first, Loser! freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Not even worthy to compare to my son’s toenails.”
Qin Jin spat on the ground, “Pah!
With his character, he’s not even worth the bullet to shoot him.
Hitting him with a brick would be a waste, fearing it might get dirty.
Leaving his room would pollute the land, leaving the country would shame the nation…”
Once Qin Jin started insulting someone, he couldn’t stop.
He Qiurong couldn’t outdo him; her chest heaving with anger, she felt like steam was coming out of her ears.
The Li Family had no doubts at this point—Li Qiao and Qin Jin had slipped into the haystack.
Qin Jin didn’t allow He Qiurong to come near, and sent Li’s father and the others away with a fierce glare at Li Jinhua.
Stupid woman, it wasn’t enough that she touched him; she even dared to peek at him.
Li Jinhua covered her oblivious nose, her complexion pale.
It should have been Li Qiao and Cai Hechuan hiding in the haystack.
How did it become Li Qiao and Qin Jin?
Didn’t Li Qiao loathe him?
Her elder sister Li Jiaoyang took a few steps, then turned back and scolded, “Chai Jinhua, are you not leaving?
Spreading nonsense and starting rumors about my sister, what are you really trying to do?
I’ll settle this with you when we get back.” By calling her Chai Jinhua, her sister was also severing ties with her.
Her second sister, Li Jiaojiao, chimed in, “To think we treated you like a true sister, and this is how you repay your own siblings.”
The implication being that if they weren’t born of the same mother, they would never truly stand united.
Li Shengcai was grinding his teeth in anger, never would he have imagined Li Jinhua could do something to smear his name.
Dong Lamei was equally furious, wishing she could strangle Li Jinhua.
Her many years of carefully cultivated positive image were ruined today.
Soon the entire village would know, her own daughter started rumors about the child of the deceased husband’s affair.
From now on, arranging a good marriage would probably be difficult to talk about.
Mrs.
Cai He Qiurong understood the situation, rushed home to gossip with others, spreading the news about Li Qiao and Loser Qin hiding in the haystack and the crowd that gathered for the spectacle.
…
When the surroundings quieted down, Qin Jin coaxed Li Qiao out.
Li Qiao sobbed quietly, “I can’t face anyone now.”
How was this different from defecating in public?
No, it was even worse.
It was a matter of disgrace, a direct social death.
“Li Jinhua definitely didn’t see anything,” Qin Jin said with certainty.
“I tested it, you can’t see anything from the outside.
And I kicked her out at that time anyway.”
Li Qiao still hid herself.
Qin Jin propped his chin, pondering for a second, “Oh, looks like a mouse scurried in there.”
“Ah!” Li Qiao screamed and scrambled out.
Qin Jin laughed.
Someone who wasn’t afraid of death was scared of mice?
Li Qiao realized she had been tricked and chased after him to hit him.
Qin Jin ran around the haystack with Li Qiao unable to catch up, frustrated and fuming, “You’re so nasty, such a big bully!”
“How does that saying go?
‘A bad boy is what girls love.'”
Li Qiao: “…”
“Don’t be mad, okay?” Qin Jin shamelessly got close to her, his black hair, red lips, fair and delicate skin, and a pair of peach blossom eyes filled with annoyance, looking spirited and cute.
His mood had been ruined by Li Jinhua’s interruption just now, leaving him frustrated.
Now recalling the moment, he was still unsatisfied.
But they had to go back home to continue.
Li Qiao puffed her cheeks; how could she not be angry?
But she wasn’t angry with him, it was Li Jinhua.
Li Jinhua was quite peculiar, as if she had foreseen her entering the haystack, only getting the person mixed up.
If it was the original owner of the body, would it have been with Cai Hechuan?
After imagining the scenario, she could only feel chills.
Falling in love naturally was not wrong, but a married person should maintain their status, right?
How was this different from infidelity within marriage?
