How I Tamed My Wolfish Husband Back in 80s -

Chapter 245: Chapter 247: Rank_1
Mrs. Cai’s heart lurched, and unable to win the argument, she began to launch personal attacks, "You’re a good-for-nothing, your wife is cheating right under your nose, and you’re still protecting her, you coward!"
"You old coward! You cheat, your mother cheats, your grandmother cheats. My wife would never cheat," Qin Jin retorted with speed, not even waiting for Mrs. Cai to finish her sentence, snapping back and leaving Mrs. Cai reeling backwards.
"You, you, you! You’re a good-for-nothing," was all Mrs. Cai’s mind could muster to insult him.
Qin Jin said, "Does your son have any merit to be going after a married woman?"
Mrs. Cai: "....You, you loser! Born to a mother but raised without one."
Qin Jin was furious.
It was one thing to insult him, but why bring his elders into it?
He grabbed Mrs. Cai by the hair and began slapping her back and forth across the face.
Mrs. Cai cried out for help.
Bystanders stepped forward to break it up.
Li Jinhua was also in the crowd. Yesterday, when Feng Erguanggun was poisoned, she pretended to go back to her family home to borrow money for his treatment, and just happened to come across Yu Family. She followed them and eavesdropped, learning that Yu Xiu had called off her engagement.
Mrs. Cai immediately made a scene.
She had a row with Yu Family and, seeing that they were adamant about not going through with the marriage, settled scores with Yu Xiu by charging her for the nine meat dumplings she ate at her house, at two cents each.
Yu Xiu immediately pulled out fifty cents, telling her to keep the change.
And with that, the two families parted ways conclusively.
After Yu Family left, Li Jinhua approached Mrs. Cai quietly and shared that Li Qiao had met with Yu Xiu.
Yu Xiu’s broken engagement might have something to do with Li Qiao.
Mrs. Cai had been fussing about it since yesterday, but was calmed down by both Mr. Cai and Cai Hechuan.
Presumably, the more she thought about it at home, the more stifled she felt, which is why she came over here to make trouble.
This suited Jinhua just fine.
Unfortunately, with Qin Jin as her trump card, struggling against a village woman was nearly an invincible existence. Mrs. Cai was no match for him.
At that moment, several strong men from the village came forward, attempting to pull Qin Jin away.
Qin Jin was strong; he could fend off two people with one hand. After much struggle, they couldn’t pull him away.
Only after Qin Jin had his fill of fighting did he let go of Mrs. Cai.
Mrs. Cai fell to the ground in a sorry state and hoarsely screamed for help.
Qin Jin closed the door with a snap, shutting out the outside world.
Old Mrs. Qin said, "Jin, the Cai family knows many people. With the way you beat her, you should probably leave and lay low for a while."
Li Qiao agreed, but inwardly, she felt exhilarated.
If Qin Jin hadn’t taken action, she would have had to.
How despicable!
Starting trouble and then picking at other people’s scars.
A beating was the least they deserved.
Qin Jin was not afraid in the slightest, his expression resolute, "Don’t worry, nobody can take me down!"
Hearing this, Old Mrs. Qin felt somewhat relieved, as it seemed her grandchild had a strategy in place.
For in the past, he would have fled at the first sign of trouble.
Through the crack in the door, Li Qiao watched Mrs. Cai stagger to her feet, ready to leave, and Li Jinhua went over to support her. It looked like this whole affair had been fueled by Jinhua’s instigation. She decided to pay a visit to Yu Family to ask Yu Xiu whether Cai Hechuan had been the one to back out or if she had called off the engagement.
She was inclined to believe the latter.
Because if Yu Xiu had any intentions of continuing, she wouldn’t have come to ask the older family members about Cai Hechuan.
She ran over to Feng Fugui’s home to borrow Xu Maimiao’s ladies’ bicycle.
Then she followed the address given by Yu Xiu.
After both sides met.
Yu Xiu was very surprised, "Qiaoqiao, why have you come?"
Li Qiao had always addressed Yu Xiu as senior sister, and Yu Xiu affectionately called her by her nickname.
Li Qiao got straight to the point, "I heard Cai Hechuan is no longer courting you?"
Mrs. Yu said, "It’s clear that we were the ones who called off the engagement with his family." She told Li Qiao about the whole process of breaking off the engagement and ended with clear distaste, "It’s a good thing this marriage didn’t happen; otherwise, your sister’s life would have been ruined. Just for eating a few dumplings, Cai Hechuan’s mother kept tally."
One can imagine how stingy they are.
In the future, if she spent any money from a man, it would probably cause a huge commotion.
Mrs. Yu then asked, "Did you come just to ask about this?"
Li Qiao weighed her words, "I’m not going to hide it from you, Cai Hechuan, cough, dated me before." She was utterly disgusted by this fact and didn’t want to bring it up, but now she had to. She continued, "Later, when I didn’t get into university, his family thought I wasn’t good enough for Cai Hechuan, they interfered, and we split up. Today his mother created a scene at my place, claiming that because of me, Cai Hechuan was unwilling to be engaged to you."
"Pah!" Mrs. Yu spat, "Really knows how to put on airs!"
Yu Xiu said, "Should I go to your village to clarify things?"
Li Qiao, "No need, I just wanted to understand the whole story so I can deal with it properly."
"If you need anything just say the word," said Yu Xiu, offering her support.
"Alright." Li Qiao left and upon returning home, she relayed what she had learned to Qin Jin and Old Mrs. Qin.
Qin Jin clenched his fists, "Damn! If I had known about this earlier, I should have brought it up in front of everyone today. But it’s not too late to know now." He called over Feng Fugui and Feng Kui, and with gongs and drums, they headed to Cai Hechuan’s doorstep.
The two rhythmically turned the situation into a performance.
Which attracted a crowd of villagers to watch.
Mr. Cai, because Mrs. Cai had been injured by Qin Jin, was planning to gather his clan to deal with Qin Jin.
Now his opponents had delivered themselves to his door.
He was just about to question them.
But Qin Jin wouldn’t let him speak, gesturing for him to listen closely.
Upon learning the truth, Mr. Cai was so choked up that he couldn’t breathe and confronted Mrs. Cai, "You, what were you thinking, picking fights like that? Now look at us, our reputation is completely tarnished. Who will dare to marry their daughter into our family now?"
Mrs. Cai, with a swollen face from being slapped, spoke unclearly, "I just wanted to let off some steam. If Li Jinhua hadn’t deliberately caused trouble, would the engagement have been broken off?"
Qin Jin, "Stop blaming everything on my wife!" Qiaoqiao would never badmouth people on purpose; she only tells the truth. "You’ve been getting cozy with Li Jinhua, and she’s the best at stirring up trouble."
Dong Lamei, who was also among the crowd watching the play, immediately said, "Jin, you shouldn’t make false accusations."
"Whether or not I’m making false accusations, the Cai family knows best."
Mrs. Cai belatedly realized she had fallen for Li Jinhua’s tricks.
She was just angry that Yu Xiu had eaten and drunk at her expense, yet still wanted to call off the engagement with her son.
She never thought the matter was related to Li Qiao.
It was after hearing from Li Jinhua that she flew into a rage wanting to teach Li Qiao a lesson. She pointed at Dong Lamei tremblingly, "You, what a great daughter you’ve raised."
Dong Lamei, "..."
It was at this time that Cai Hechuan finally spoke up, "Auntie, you decide what to do about this!" While he still harbored feelings for Li Qiao, Yu Xiu wasn’t bad either, with her education and looks, she stood out more than an average girl, making her a suitable partner for marriage.
Who would have thought that they would actually break off the engagement?
It was embarrassing enough as it was, and now it had become common knowledge.
Dong Lamei wanted to leave the troublesome place under the guise of asking questions.
But Qin Jin had no intention of letting her off, "Mother-in-law, you owe me an explanation for this, or else don’t expect me to let Feng Erguanggun earn money with me."
Dong Lamei gritted her teeth, "I will go find Jinhua and give you an explanation right now." She stormed off in a huff.
Qin Jin also prepared to leave.
He strode off, only to find Feng Kui and Feng Fugui still singing, "You two are done."
The two grinned, "We think we could give up doing business with you and start earning money by singing instead."
Qin Jin laughed so hard his stomach hurt. Luckily he had learned a bit from his educated wife, otherwise he might end up talking nonsense like these two clowns.
