33: Chapter 33: Plan_1
33 -33: Plan_1
Li Jinhua immediately took out some change, “Here, this is enough for two packs.”
Li Qiao’s frown was barely perceptible.
Had she prepared change early in the morning just to get rid of her?
She intended to see what kind of medicine the other party was peddling.
“Alright.” Li Qiao took the money and left.
Li Jinhua’s eyes briefly followed her departing figure, her lips curling coldly.
Just you wait, your days are numbered.
Li Qiao managed to buy the peanuts and was on her way back when she encountered a disheveled middle-aged man.
His beard was unkempt, he was shabbily dressed, and as he picked his nose, he eyed her.
Suddenly, he charged towards her like a madman.
Shouting “pretty wife, pretty wife…” continuously.
Having experienced Feng Dezhong’s death threat, Li Qiao’s reaction was not as slow as the first time; she turned and ran as fast as her legs could carry her.
The man behind her shouted “pretty wife,” while she screamed for help.
But for some reason, the men and women who came out of their houses upon hearing the commotion stood still, not daring to step forward, and it took her a large loop around the village to shake off her pursuer.
When she stopped to catch her breath, her body was hot and sweaty.
Her clothes, soaked with sweat, clung to her body.
The cold wind blew, and she shivered from the chill.
Alternating between hot and cold, she felt terribly uncomfortable but pressed on towards home despite the discomfort.
As she neared the back of the house, Qin Jin’s figure came into view.
He stood tall and straight, with broad shoulders.
His facial features were sharp and handsome, and his rebellious demeanor added a touch of wild ferocity and strength to him.
He was somewhat wolf-like.
Suddenly, Li Qiao felt her heart flutter.
She saw him quickly approach and say, “I heard Insane Hu was chasing you, are you alright?”
So that man was a lunatic.
Li Qiao complained, “I was almost caught, nearly died of exhaustion.
I’m covered in sweat, Achoo—” She sneezed suddenly and said, “My nose feels blocked again.”
“Why don’t we go home?” Qin Jin suggested.
Li Qiao, “I’ve come this far, leaving early wouldn’t be proper.
But we can have a rendezvous at the threshing field first.”
“A rendezvous?” Qin Jin repeated, a hint of ambiguity in his smile, “You’re not being proper.”
Li Qiao, “…..” Alright, she was being a little improper, her mind uncontrollably conjuring up many unspeakable images.
She almost wished they could find a place to achieve great harmony together.
The two of them sneaked into the haystacks at the threshing field and only leisurely emerged when they heard Dong Lamei’s call.
Qin Jin, with a spring in his step, tenderly removed the strands of grass from Li Qiao’s hair, his gaze soft enough to melt water.
“Have we found you two?” Dong Lamei and Li Jinhua arrived together.
Both sets of eyes turned to Li Qiao, her eyes downcast with a flirty and coy charm, clearly having been well-cared for by a man.
A sudden clench gripped Li Jinhua’s heart.
She had first added something to Li Qiao’s drink, timing it perfectly with Insane Hu leaving his house, leading Li Qiao to encounter him.
Insane Hu’s wife had run off, and he was so desperate for a woman he was insane, he surely wouldn’t let Li Qiao go.
And with the drug taking effect on Li Qiao, it was clear what the sparks between her and Hu would lead to.
Yet, such a perfect plan had failed.
“Didn’t you two hide in the haystack again?” Dong Lamei scrutinized.
Li Qiao, her face flushed, vehemently denied it, “How could that be?
I was just chased by Insane Hu and ran around the village, I was so tired, and just took a moment to rest here.
Jin found me right then and comforted me for a while, and then you both came, didn’t you?” They really had the worst timing.
Aunt Dong Lamei smiled, “You young people, ah well, let’s go back.” She walked away.
Li Jinhua felt resentful and pondered on pouring another drink next.
During the meal, she took the initiative to pour wine for Qin Jin, offering a sincere apology and punished herself with a drink.
“Brother-in-law Jin, you should drink too.”
Qin Jin’s eyes contained a coldness as he replied with a light smile, “Girls shouldn’t drink.
I didn’t ask you to drink.
In the future, you should probably abstain as well; some of my brothers don’t even drink.”
Li Shengcai cursed loudly, “That’s right, your brother-in-law Jin didn’t ask you to drink.
What’s a girl like you trying to prove?
His bunch of fair-weather friends don’t drink, and you do?
Such indecent behavior!”
Dong Lamei was also fuming with anger and scolded, “Idiot!
If outsiders saw this, you could forget about finding a partner for the rest of your life.”
Li Jinhua was scolded in public, her face flushed with shame, unable to lift her head and whispered in defense, “I was just trying to show my sincerity.”
After drinking, the alcohol magnified Li Shengcai’s rage, and he shouted, “Sincerity my foot!
If your brother-in-law Jin bore a grudge, would he have come today?
You dead thing, you keep messing up the matches we introduce, who are all better than your brother-in-law Jin.
You ruin them all with your antics.”
Qin Jin: “….” Why did they have to drag him into the scolding again and again?
Li Qiao watched the commotion resting her cheek on her hand.
The more Li Shengcai cursed, the more agitated he became, picking up a stick to beat Li Jinhua with.
Li Jinhua, in pain, jumped up and ran for her life.
Dong Lamei, caring about her reputation, quickly shut the door, fearful of neighbors witnessing the scene.
Li Jinhua seized the opportunity to hide behind Li Qiao.
Unable to stop his swing, Li Shengcai’s stick was about to hit Li Qiao’s head, but she ducked low to avoid it.
The stick fell on Li Jinhua’s head, who let out a scream and fell to the ground, eyes tightly closed.
Dong Lamei wailed, struggling with one hand to help Li Jinhua.
She yelled at Li Qiao, “Why are you sitting there like an idiot?
Don’t you know to help your sister?” She then turned to berate Li Shengcai for his heavy hand.
“You’re not acting like a parent; there’s no love.”
Li Shengcai was also stunned, his hand gripping the stick rigidly, “I…
I was just angry.”
Dong Lamei cried and fretted, directing her anger at Li Qiao, “I told you to help your sister, why are you still sitting there?
Are you deaf?”
Qin Jin couldn’t watch any longer, “She nearly got hit by a stick, and you’re not concerned whether she got scared but only order her around.
That’s not love; that’s heartlessness.”
Dong Lamei: “….”
Only then did Li Qiao step forward to help.
Seeing Li Jinhua’s eyelids twitch, and her blinking, was she faking unconsciousness?
Back inside the room.
Dong Lamei pinched Li Jinhua’s philtrum and called her name repeatedly, but Li Jinhua remained motionless.
Li Qiao glanced sideways and suggested, “Why not have Jin carry her to the clinic for a look?”
Qin Jin: “….” Does everyone just get to climb on his back? fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
They keep giving him trouble!
Dong Lamei, no longer caring about propriety, beseeched, “Jin, could you look…
”
Qin Jin: “She’s not my wife; I won’t carry her.
Let Dad do it.”
Li Shengcai: “A grown daughter must keep away from her father.”
Muttering to himself, Qin Jin thought about the saying about daughters avoiding their fathers and wondered why he hadn’t hung himself when his daughter was born.
His eyes shifted, “Back when I was traveling, I met a barefoot doctor and learned some life-saving techniques, but they’re not easy to apply.
Mother’s hand is hurt, Qiaoqiao, I’ll instruct and you do it.”
“Will that work?” Dong Lamei asked uncertainly.
“Definitely.” Qin Jin replied with confidence.
Dong Lamei didn’t want to delay and cleared space for Li Qiao, urging, “Qiaoqiao, come quick.”
Li Qiao thought Qin Jin was bluffing, unaware that he was talking about CPR.
Qin Jin directed, “You need to use all your strength when pressing down for it to be effective.”
Li Jinhua was only pretending, but after a few compressions from Li Qiao, she felt like her ribs would break and couldn’t take the pain, whimpering as she opened her eyes.
Dong Lamei cried tears of joy, “Ah, Jinhua really woke up, I didn’t expect you to be so capable.”
Qin Jin smugly blew a lock of his hair, “Just average.”
“Mom, my chest hurts, it’s burning, and my head hurts too.”
Dong Lamei’s heart, which had just settled, rose again, “Jin, she’s saying she’s in pain, what do we do now?”
