Chapter 241: Chapter 243: Black Heart_1

"Third Sister," Li Jinhua was not at all discouraged, persistently calling out in a voice that was neither loud nor soft.

Li Qiao was so disturbed by the calling that she couldn’t sleep, so she put on Qin Jin’s overcoat and opened the door. "What are you yelling for?"

Li Jinhua was sincerely apologetic, "Third Sister, I know I was wrong, please forgive me for the sake of our mother who raised you."

Li Qiao scoffed, only now you realize your mistake? "Don’t play the sentiment card, the person I’m most annoyed with is your mother, having treated me like a monkey for so long." If it weren’t for her worry that Dong Lamei might harbor resentment and later cause trouble for her in Beijing, she wouldn’t even bother to give a parting gift.

As she finished and was about to close the door, her hand paused upon touching the bolt: "Li Jianguo and Jin are doing business in Beijing, they’ve made money and bought a small courtyard in the city, do you know about it? The place in Beijing."

In fact, they hadn’t bought it yet.

First, they didn’t have enough money, and second, they didn’t know where to buy.

He thought she was a college graduate and knew more.

So he hoped she would give him some good advice, and that’s why he told her this.

To inform Li Jinhua, just to make her feel uncomfortable, regretful for looking down on others.

Li Jinhua did feel uncomfortable indeed, as she knew some things about Li Jianguo.

At home, they built two large tile-roofed houses for the two brothers to use for engagement and marriage.

The village was beaten paths to their door with marriage proposals, but he agreed to none. She, thinking he still had feelings for her, took the initiative to seek reconciliation only to be driven out by him.

Now, hearing Li Qiao mention it, she felt even more regretful.

Buying a small courtyard in Beijing.

Was it a siheyuan?

In the future, wouldn’t their assets be worth over a hundred million?

No, why did Li Jianguo tell Li Qiao this? Could it be that he was trying to woo Li Qiao?

If Qin Jin found out that Li Jianguo had such intentions, would he still help him make money?

She was going to find Li Jianguo right away to speak with him and see how he would explain himself.

......

After Li Qiao closed the door, Li Jinhua took advantage of the night to return to her maternal home.

As she was approaching the entrance to the village, she bumped into Li Jianguo.

With no one around, she initiated the conversation, "I was just looking for you, where are you going this late?"

Li Jianguo found it amusing, "Is it any of your business?" He took a detour.

Li Jinhua blocked him but was pushed away by him, angry she spoke bluntly, "Do you have designs on Li Qiao? Tomorrow, I’ll tell Qin Jin and see if he will keep helping you make money."

Li Jianguo looked at Li Jinhua as if she were insane, "Did Feng Erguanggun hit you on the head? You’re talking nonsense."

"Then why did you tell her about buying a property in Beijing?"

Li Jianguo suspected Li Jinhua of trying to trick him into revealing his secrets, he had never told Li Qiao that he bought any courtyard in Beijing. He just inquired about the availability and price of courtyards. She said she wasn’t as familiar with Beijing as Qin Jin, so he didn’t ask further. "Stop bothering me with your nonsense."

Li Jinhua’s face turned sour in a second, "You’ve got nerve! I’m going to tell Qin Jin right now."

Li Jianguo was indifferent and walked away with big strides.

Li Jinhua glared at him until he disappeared into the night, then turned back toward her maternal home.

Dong Lamei yawned as she opened the door, "What are you doing coming home at this time? Has Li Qiao come back?" It was already the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, and people like Cai Hechuan had returned home since the teens of the month.

Li Jinhua replied, "She’s back, dressed all fancy and shiny, and I heard she skipped a grade and is about to graduate."

"Oh, really? That means she’ll be getting a salary soon, right?" Dong Lamei said with great enthusiasm, "Did she mention when she’s coming to visit me and your dad?"

"She didn’t say she’d come, that temper of hers is unpredictable."

Dong Lamei glared furiously, "How dare she not come! After the holidays, I’ll go make a scene at her school." They may not listen to reason at the university, but once everyone knows she doesn’t support her foster mother, the spit from all the students could drown her!

Li Jinhua continued making snide remarks, "How are you going to get there? The round-trip fare is at least a good ten or more yuan. In such a big city, you might not even find the place."

Dong Lamei’s temper flared, cursing, "Ungrateful wretch, I raised her for nothing!"

Li Jinhua, having achieved her goal of stirring up trouble, was very pleased. She then deliberately made trouble for Li Qiao, "I heard that Li Qiao tutored Qin Jin to pass the accounting exam. With her abilities, if she had tutored Jinniu, Jinniu might have made something of himself too."

"I’m not cut out for studying; even godly tutoring wouldn’t help. If my brother-in-law passed, it’s because he’s inherently smart." Li Jinniu poked his head out from inside the house.

Li Jinhua woke him up as soon as she returned.

All he heard were disparaging comments about his third sister.

What about himself?

He added, "Even if third sister and her husband have conflicts with the family, they bring gifts when they come back. Have you ever brought gifts? Every time you come empty-handed, sometimes even bringing your brother-in-law to freeload. You’re not nearly as generous as my brother-in-law. That brother-in-law of yours is lazy and rude; he never even calls them mom and dad. I can’t understand what you see in that old man."

Awakened by Li Jinniu’s words, Dong Lamei also became dissatisfied with Li Jinhua, "Your brother has a point; Feng Erguanggun is no good. When your brother gets married in the future, you can’t be counted on. We’ll have to rely on your third sister and sisters-in-law. Tomorrow when she comes back, I need to prepare some fine wine and dishes to entertain her. Don’t stay here tonight; bring your fiancé along tomorrow. Let him learn how Qin Jin conducts himself."

How sweet is everyone’s talk?

In spite of all the conflicts, in front of others, the proper respect is still not lacking.

In comparison, Feng Erguanggun is a total oaf, a blockhead. Even Li Jianguo is better; he was penniless half a year ago but now has not only built a new house but also bought a foreign car.

Who in the village doesn’t praise his success?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved; she had almost been able to enjoy the good fortune of Li Jianguo. "Get going!"

"How can I leave in the middle of the night?" Li Jinhua was reluctant to go.

"The way you came is the way you’ll go back." Dong Lamei pushed Li Jinhua out the door, "Or did Feng Erguanggun kick you out?"

Li Jinhua did not want to admit it and had no choice but to leave.

She planned to spend the night in a grass hut at the village entrance, but midway, Feng Erguanggun, who had come looking for her, spotted her, and they ended up in a chase.

As she entered Feng Family Village, she ran into Qin Jin and Feng Fugui, among others, walking at night.

She shouted, "Brother-in-law, save me!"

Feng Erguanggun immediately stopped chasing her.

Li Jinhua breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Jin said with disdain, "Can’t even catch a woman, what kind of man are you? If my wife got beaten and dared to run, I’d kick her five meters away with one foot."

Feng Erguanggun, upon hearing this, lunged at Li Jinhua, thinking, if female college students can be beaten, who is Li Jinhua to not be hit?

Qin Jin curled the corner of his mouth and whistled a rogue’s whistle.

Feng Kui asked, "Are you really going to hit Qiaoqiao?"

"Qiaoqiao is for you to call? Li Jianguo is ten years older than her, and he still has to call her third sister! You should call her sister-in-law, or just call her Li Qiao if you don’t want to say that," Qin Jin replied.

"Yes, sister-in-law," Feng Kui corrected himself, "So, are you going to hit sister-in-law or not?"

Qin Jin said, "I couldn’t bear to hit my wife who is as beautiful as a flower and celestial as a fairy. I cherish her."

Feng Kui replied, "...." goosebumps all over.

When they reached a crossroads, they went their separate ways.

Qin Jin arrived at his front door, which was dark as pitch, the lights were off.

What if knocking on the door causes his wife to get up and she freezes?

Better to climb the wall and get in.
