Li Qiao was visibly moved, “You really are a good person.”

Qin Jin held back a laugh.

A good person?

Where would you find a good person in this world? ƒгeewёbnovel.com

But he still cared about the impression she had of him and sighed softly, “So you mustn’t believe the many inaccurate things people say about me.”

Li Qiao, “I only believe in you.”

A smile tugged at the corners of Qin Jin’s mouth.

Fortunately, she was sitting in the back of the car today; otherwise, if she turned around, she would catch him bamboozling someone.

“There’s another thing I need to tell you.

Last weekend I participated in a competition, didn’t I?

I ranked first in the county, and my teacher signed me up for the national contest.

On the 20th of this month, I’m going to Beijing.

If I get a good placement, I’ll be directly admitted into university.

The school will pay for travel and meals.

But the round trip will take about a week,” Li Qiao said.

“Are you going alone?” Qin Jin was worried.

She was pretty and easy to deceive; what if someone abducted her?

Li Qiao, “Together with the math teacher, and there will be other teachers and students from different schools.”

“I need to accompany you,” Qin Jin said without a doubt.

“Why would you come along?

The trip costs quite a bit of money.”

“I can pay my own way.

We’ll take grandma with us and have a look at Tianmen in Beijing.”

Li Qiao thought it was feasible.

Passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, she asked, “Aren’t you going in to settle the account?”

“I settled it when I delivered goods the other day.

From now on, you don’t have to worry about these things.

Just focus on your studies, and I’ll handle the rest,” he said.

Li Qiao couldn’t have asked for anything better, not having to worry was indeed a relief.

The two chatted about daily life as they returned to Feng Family Village.

At the entrance, a space had been cleared where several village women were sitting and weaving.

Everyone warmly greeted Li Qiao upon seeing her.

Li Qiao politely addressed everyone she knew, then pulled Old Mrs.

Qin aside, and eagerly shared the news about ranking first in the exam and going to Beijing for the contest with her teacher.

“Jin said he would bring you along.”

Old Mrs.

Qin was overjoyed and proudly declared, “My daughter-in-law is truly impressive.

You can visit Beijing when you go to university.

It’s fine if Jin accompanies you.” The journey was long, and even with a teacher, she was still concerned.

It was high noon, and the sun was just right.

Li Qiao felt her back getting sweaty, so she went inside to change into a lighter red cotton jacket and trousers.

Her skin looked fair with a rosy hue.

Positively radiant, she stood in front of Qin Jin, who felt like he couldn’t tear his eyes away.

Li Qiao glanced up and smiled at him, then turned her head and walked to a pile of straw against the wall that was bulging.

She moved away the covering straw, “The morels I buried before have actually grown, even though it’s been dry recently and there hasn’t been any rain.”

“I watered them yesterday,” Qin Jin said, moving closer to her.

“You look really pretty in red.”

Li Qiao complimented him in return, “You’re handsome too.

We’re both a match made in heaven.”

Qin Jin laughed heartily; she was really full of herself now.

Li Qiao remembered something important, “Did you say we had goods to supply before?”

“It’s not time for delivery yet, let’s wait for rain,” Qin Jin said.

Li Qiao, “I have an idea.

We can cultivate them artificially.

Then we won’t have to worry about our supply.”

“Cultivate artificially?

If we produce too much, won’t it raise suspicions and bring all eyes on us?

You don’t need to worry about this,” Qin Jin said with composure.

Li Qiao, “But…”

Qin Jin interrupted, “What should we have for lunch?

I’ll cook for you.”

“You’re going to cook?

How about a bowl of egg noodles?” She wanted something different after a week of rice.

Qin Jin immediately washed his hands and began cooking.

Yu Feng loved wandering around aimlessly.

Seeing Li Qiao return, she also followed into the courtyard.

Catching sight of Qin Jin cooking and Li Qiao sitting by, she clicked her tongue, “A man cooking and the woman resting.

Qiaoqiao, aren’t you afraid the villagers will say Jin lacks ambition?”

Li Qiao changed the subject, “Auntie, how’s Xiaohong doing?”

Yu Feng’s tone darkened, “That wretched creature went back to her mother’s house after being discharged.

She wants Bing to fetch her, but I won’t let Bing do it.

After two kids, who else can she depend on if not my son?

Just wait and see, she’ll come back home obediently within five days.”

Yu Feng spoke with full confidence.

Li Qiao couldn’t help shuddering.

Marrying into this kind of family was truly terrifying.

Qin Jin noticed Li Qiao’s subtle movement and scolded Yu Feng softly, “You crazy woman!

Can you not talk about such frightening things in front of my wife and make her worry with wild thoughts?

If you scare her, I’ll hold your entire family accountable!

Qiaoqiao, don’t be scared.

Grandma and I won’t do that to you.” His tone suddenly softened.

Li Qiao felt slightly reassured.

Yu Feng clutched her hands, her voice noticeably lower, “What did I say that was wrong?

You already have a child and still think you’re a maiden?

You’re fond of women now, let’s see if you still care after she gives birth.”

Qin Jin stood up with a cold face, picking up the fire poker, “Are you leaving or not?

If not, I’ll kick you out.”

Yu Feng left dejectedly.

This scourge.

If not for the money, she would’ve retorted with a few harsh words.

Li Qiao joked, “One thing down another, you’re practically Auntie’s nemesis.”

“You’re my nemesis,” he said.

“Where am I hindering you?

It’s clearly you who hinders me!”

“Every part of me is hindered,” Qin Jin said softly, “Like today?”

Li Qiao hesitated for a moment, then coyly hummed in agreement, “Tonight.”

Qin Jin looked up; the sun was right overhead.

It would be a while until dark.

“Later we can go to the threshing field first.”

“I don’t want to go,” Li Qiao refused.

Now that the weather was warmer, there were insects in the grass that made her skin crawl.

“Can you take me to see Big Sister tomorrow?”

Qin Jin stretched his head to the side.

Getting the hint, Li Qiao leaned in and pecked him on the cheek.

Old Mrs.

Qin entered the courtyard, saw what was happening, and quietly backed out.

Thinking that her daughter-in-law knew her ways, she supposed tonight should be fine, right?

….

After finishing her noodles, Li Qiao picked up her books and went to the youth spot.

She looked over the exercises done by several people, explained their mistakes individually, and unknowingly, two hours had passed.

She then taught a few of them to read English twice and sat down to rest.

Han Ting poured water into her cup, while Du Xinxin brought out some snacks.

Li Qiao thanked them, ate the snacks, drank her tea, and watched them review.

As she was about to leave after finishing her water, a familiar voice called from outside the door.

“Is Qiaoqiao there?”

It was Dong Lamei.

Li Qiao stood up emotionlessly, “What do you want?”

Dong Lamei entered the room, her smile not reaching her eyes, “What’s the matter?

Can’t I look for you if there’s nothing wrong?

Let’s talk outside.”

After saying goodbye to the educated youth, Li Qiao walked outside.

Dong Lamei began her reproach, “You girl, your sister says you teach others at school and don’t teach her.

Back in the village, you teach the youth but exclude her, give food to others but none to her.

Is this true?

I’ve already scolded her for whatever upset you, and even if she’s upset you should be over it by now, right?

Can’t you take her studies seriously?

As a mother, I’m asking you for this favor.” Dong Lamei lowered her stance with the last few words.

Li Qiao was unmoved; she had seen through Dong Lamei’s character—warm on the outside, cold and calculating on the inside, just like Li Jinhua.

She scoffed, “I’m not serious?

I let her look at the notes from the second topper in my class whenever she wants.

I lend her the completed materials.

It’s her own stupidity.”

Dong Lamei was furious, “Hey!

So what she said was true?

Is this how you act as a sister?”

“Leaves don’t turn yellow in one day, nor does one’s heart grow cold suddenly.

My exam registration was stolen, someone privately engraved a fake seal and told her, she then spread the word all over, luckily nobody believed I would forge a seal.

Otherwise, by now I would have been expelled from school and sent home to farm.” Li Qiao walked straight past her and left.
