How I Tamed My Wolfish Husband Back in 80s-Chapter 120: Seeking Justice_1

The moon shone as bright as day, casting silver light everywhere.

Qin Jin rode his bicycle, leading a group of boisterous eighteen or nineteen-year-olds weaving through the village paths.

They bantered back and forth, occasionally bursting into laughter, startling the dogs in the neighboring villages into a frenzy of barking.

Amidst the laughter, they arrived at Li Shengcai’s doorstep.

Qin Jin bellowed, "Dong Lamei! You old charlatan, come out and face your death!"

Dong Lamei woke up startled from her dream, but it was Li Jinniu who opened the door.

"Brother-in-law, what are you..." Before he could finish asking what was going on, Qin Jin pushed him aside, "This has nothing to do with you! Get lost."

A gang of them stormed into the courtyard with great commotion.

Li Shengcai saw many shadows looming in his yard through the window, and he barely avoided tumbling out of bed.

What on earth were these hooligans up to so late at night?

He hurriedly dressed and opened the door to confront Qin Jin. "Jin, what’s wrong?"

Qin Jin glanced sidelong at Li Shengcai, "I’m here for an explanation! I’ve found out everything. That Li Ermao in your village caught chickenpox, and his mother got him a peace charm. Dong Lamei visited just once and then it was gone. I bet the charm you have is the one Li Ermao wore, and that’s how my wife caught chickenpox."

He and his grandmother had both had chickenpox when they were young, so they couldn’t be infected.

His wife had never had it, and her delicate skin was quickly affected.

Li Shengcai was shocked and incredulous, "Your mother could never do such a thing."

Qin Jin’s voice was cold, "Should we call over Li Ermao’s parents and have Dong Lamei confront them?"

Li Shengcai felt uneasy and went back to ask Dong Lamei.

Dong Lamei vehemently denied it.

Qin Jin barged into the room, grabbed Dong Lamei by the neck, and started hitting her.

He had decided before he came that if Dong Lamei would simply admit her fault, he wouldn’t raise a hand to her, as after all his wife was a college graduate, and it would look bad for her if he acted too crudely.

But this stubborn wicked woman wouldn’t change her ways; he wouldn’t feel better until he gave her a beating.

Struggling to cry out for help, just as Dong Lamei thought she was near death, Qin Jin released her, warning:

"You evil woman, if you dare set foot in Feng Family Village again, I’ll break your legs!" With that, Qin Jin left.

Li Shengcai wanted to rebuke him but didn’t dare to open his mouth, silently helping the collapsed Dong Lamei up.

Li Jinhua eavesdropped on the commotion outside, the raucousness only subsiding after a while.

When she opened the door, the already disordered courtyard looked as though it had been sacked by bandits, with farm tools strewn all over the place.

"Dad, Mom, what happened?"

Li Jinniu gritted his teeth in anger, "It’s all because of the wonderful things you and Mom did!" His brother-in-law used to be fond of him, even occasionally buying him treats, but now he can’t even look at him without the urge to beat him up.

"What did I do?" Li Jinhua didn’t think she did anything wrong.

Heaven had given her another chance to live, to change the fate of her previous life.

Yet out of nowhere, this ghostly entity was thwarting her happiness; if she didn’t harm Li Qiao, who else would she harm?

Li Jinniu was so angry he couldn’t speak.

Li Shengcai was even more furious. If it weren’t for this ingrate constantly making trouble for his own daughter, he wouldn’t have been dragged into this mess. He picked up a stick and chased Li Jinhua out of the house. She pounded on the door for a long time, but when no one opened it, she decided to seek out Qin Jin.

She was at her wits’ end; she had to tell Qin Jin that Li Qiao was a ghost.

She headed for Feng Family Village, and as she was getting close to the village entrance, she was stopped by the drunken Feng Bing.

Li Jinhua scolded him.

Feng Bing simply grabbed her.

Li Jinhua, having had such experiences, instantly knew his intentions and was covered in goosebumps. She cried out loudly for help, "Save me! Save me! This is indecent assault!"

The noise sobered Feng Bing up a bit.

Li Jinhua seized the chance to break free from his grasp and ran towards the Qin family’s house.

Feng Bing, worried about her spreading the word, pursued her relentlessly until they reached the Qin family’s doorstep, where he stopped and went back home.

Li Jinhua banged on the door panel, "Save me! Save me!"

The dogs in the courtyard barked incessantly.

Li Qiao opened his eyes, and at that moment, the cries for help came again.

Li Jinhua?

Was that a hallucination?

"Who’s there?" Old Mrs. Qin demanded.

Li Qiao was about to open the door, he’d just gotten out of bed when the barking stopped.

Then came Qin Jin’s voice, "What are you doing at my house? Looking for a beating?"

"I, I have something to tell you, about Li Qiao," Li Jinhua said, without the chance to bring up Feng Bing’s hooliganism.

Qin Jin: "As if anything good could come out of your dog’s mouth. Scram!"

Li Jinhua whispered, "It’s about Li Qiao’s background!"

Qin Jin’s eyebrows twitched slightly, clearly interested, "Let’s hear it."

Upon hearing that, Li Jinhua thought there was a chance. Qin Jin was indeed suspicious. Last time, when she told her parents that Qin Jin would become rich, they thought she was crazy and locked her up for days. She couldn’t say it directly this time. She weighed her words, "I had a dream, in the dream, Li Qiao..." She wanted to tell him all about what Li Qiao had done to him in their past lives.

That way, he would suspect that Li Qiao was also reincarnated, looking to enjoy Qin Jin’s good fortune.

Qin Jin briskly opened the door and went into the yard, then closed it behind him. He thought she really knew who Qiaoqiao was, but she was just talking about dreams, coming to tell him things from her dreams, as if she was not all there in the head! Listening to another word would be an insult to his intelligence.

Li Jinhua stomped her foot in frustration and turned her head, only to be startled by the man next door. She wanted to knock but didn’t dare, afraid to walk past him, in case the man next door did something inappropriate. She had no choice but to squat in front of Qin family’s door.

In the summer, mosquitoes were everywhere and soon bit her all over.

Unable to endure it any longer, she decided to go home.

She found a stick by the door and was preparing to leave when she noticed a pair of open scissors on a nearby stool, gleaming in the light. She picked them up, thinking they could be used for self-defense.

Not far from her home, she heard footsteps behind her. Panicking, she started running. As she passed the Village entrance, she tripped and fell, feeling a weight on her back.

"Hel... Mmph!"

Her mouth was covered. Li Jinhua struggled desperately, but the scissors in her hand came in handy, and she stabbed her assailant fiercely.

Feng Bing felt the pain too late; he’d been stabbed twice. He looked down to see his hand covered in warm blood, then collapsed instantly.

Li Jinhua took the opportunity to kick him and ran toward her home without looking back.

It wasn’t until she was passing the reservoir that her mind returned to her. She threw the scissors into the river, planning to go home. After a few steps, however, she realized something was wrong. How would she explain it if she met someone with blood on her? She took off her blood-stained clothes and sat by the river to wash them. Unable to get the blood out with water alone, she looked around for a soapberry tree, and used a bamboo pole to knock down the immature soapberries to use.

With the bright moonlight, she made sure her clothes were clean before she put them back on. Noticing a missing button, she broke out in a cold sweat. Did she drop it back there?

She thought about going back to look but was afraid of running into someone. She decided to go home first and just happened to meet Dong Lamei, who had come out looking for her.

"Why are you all wet?"

"I fell into a ditch in the dark."

....

Feng Family Village.

Feng Bing insisted on walking to his front door and collapsed from blood loss. It was only because the family dog kept barking that Yu Feng found him.

"Oh my God! Help, murder, someone’s been murdered..."

Yu Feng’s loud voice alarmed the neighbors.

Feng Hu planned to carry the man to the health clinic, but Feng Bing’s wounds bled profusely at the slightest touch.

He couldn’t sit on a bicycle, so they decided to use their flatbed cart to pull him.

Mr. Feng hurt his back and couldn’t lift Feng Bing.

Feng Hu glared at Qin Jin: "Jin, give us a hand."

Qin Jin didn’t move an inch.

Old Mrs. Qin was soft-hearted and at a time like this, couldn’t hold on to past grievances: "Jin, go help them out."

Qin Jin obediently stood up. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Li Qiao reached out to him and their fingers locked together. Qin Jin glanced back at her; she shook her head nearly imperceptibly, signaling him not to go.

When Qin Jin returned, most of the villagers had already gone to rest.

How did Feng Bing get hurt? If he woke up and couldn’t find the culprit, he might say it was Qin Jin’s fault. Why take me if you didn’t stab me?

Qin Jin didn’t want any part in this affair. If Feng Bing tried to blame him, he would have to think twice.
