Chapter 247: Chapter 249: Discovering the Truth _1

Qin Jin returned the camera and happened to run into Gao Dagang; the two exchanged cordial yet polite greetings.

Gao Dagang took the initiative to mention the reduction in purchasing the woven goods, "The varieties of finished products are not as rich as before, and there are many imitations from other supply and marketing cooperatives, so our products aren’t selling well. In at most another six months, the cooperative may no longer want our goods. If you still want to take orders, you’ll need to find something else to replace them." Selling goods is just like that, with the most typical being fabric. Cotton fabric was in high demand two years ago, but by last year, it had shifted to polyester, like Dacron, for instance.

Qin Jin, "No problem, thank you, brother."

Gao Dagang scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed, "It’s nothing. Are you getting used to life in Beijing? I heard it’s so cold there it could freeze you to death."

"It definitely could if you’re always outside; it’s minus ten or twenty degrees every day. But indoors with the heating on, it’s like summer."

"Heating? How do you do it?" Gao Dagang was quite curious.

Qin Jin patiently explained it to him.

"And you have to pay a heating fee? How much does it cost? What do you do if you can’t afford it?"

Qin Jin, "It costs a fair bit," thirty yuan a year. "If you can’t afford it, you burn coal on a kang, it’s just as warm." He had always wanted to get a big kang; he could roll around on it with his wife however they liked, the bed was too small for him to perform.

He was certainly going to get a kang, and then, hehe...

"Yikes, you’ve got a nosebleed." Gao Dagang pointed to Qin Jin’s nose.

Qin Jin touched it and, remaining calm, pulled out a handkerchief to cover it, "The air is too dry, got a little heaty."

Gao Dagang, "Our cooperative has just got a new batch of heat-reducing tea, I’ll give you some." He pulled Qin Jin towards the cooperative.

Qin Jin felt embarrassed to accept it for free and bought two cans with money.

When he was ready to leave, he found a counter that sold sheep milk and bought two bottles.

Carrying them, he returned home.

Li Qiao asked, "Where did you buy the milk?" It’s hard to find in the city.

The school supplies it every day, but the quantity is limited, and she had never managed to buy any.

Qin Jin, "From the cooperative."

Li Qiao, "I thought maybe some fellow villager was selling it on the sly."

Old Mrs. Qin sniffed, "It smells so fishy, who could drink that?"

Li Qiao, "You can boil it with tea leaves and add some sugar to drink. Let me do it."

Old Mrs. Qin assisted from the side.

As the grandmother and granddaughter were busy, Li Jinhua came uninvited, peering into the kitchen at the milk tea being prepared in the pot.

This stuff, her grandson and granddaughter would drink it.

Her granddaughter had even made it in front of her, leaving a particularly deep impression.

Could Li Qiao be from decades in the future?

A time-traveler?

A time-traveling woman?

Everything made sense now; Li Qiao was likely a college student from decades later.

With fierce competition, that’s why getting into college here would be a piece of cake for her.

She was momentarily astounded, forgetting the reason she had come.

Qin Jin picked up a broom and hit her with it, which made her come back to her senses from the pain.

"You just started trouble and you have the nerve to show up here!" Qin Jin scolded.

Li Jinhua hopped and ran out.

Chased by Qin Jin, she had quick thoughts; seeing nobody around, she controlled her volume and said, "I know who Li Qiao is! She might be old enough to be your granddaughter. And she’s not a good person." Girls from decades later are all too shrewd for their own good.

To find a partner, they must have a car, a house, and savings.

They have a popular saying,

"Children and grandchildren create their own fortunes. If I don’t have children or grandchildren, I’ll enjoy my own fortune."

They may put up with hardships themselves, put up hardships on their children, but never on themselves.

Li Qiao must have known about Qin Jin’s future rise to prosperity, so that’s why she clung to him.

She quickly briefed him on the situation.

Qin Jin indeed stopped chasing her and looked at her intently, "How do you know she’s from decades later? Are you too?"

Li Jinhua whispered, "I’m not. I..." In order to make her words more believable, she said, "I’m someone who has lived once before. I know your future; you will achieve great things. Li Qiao must know it too, which is why she’s good to you. She’s not my elder sister; in the previous life, she divorced you and married Cai Hechuan. She even got you thrown into prison for three years, and your grandma died during that time. The person now has just taken over my elder sister’s body, a scheming woman, maybe even an ugly freak. She also wants to enjoy your fortune."

Qin Jin only believed the first part.

As for the latter, if his wife only enjoyed the fruits of his labor, there would be no need for her to go through the trouble of studying and staying up late doing translation work to earn money.

All she needed to do was to make him happy.

Yet she never took the initiative to ask him for money.

She was a very pure person.

Her mind was filled with learning and helping him to be more ambitious.

She possessed many talents.

Knew manners and respected the elderly.

He had once heard her classmates say that he was the one she got after making a wish to the gods above, that they were a match made in heaven.

With these memories, he felt she was like a fairy, assigned by the Almighty to be his wife, and he cherished her even more.

He snapped out of his reverie and cursed, "Quit your bullshitting!"

Qin Jin clenched his fists and moved in.

Li Jinhua ran for her life, covering her head.

The screams of terror drew the people who were at home preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner out of their houses.

Li Qiao and Old Mrs. Qin hurried over to break up the fight.

Qin Jin continued to curse spitefully, "Flirtatious bitch! The man has barely lain down, and you can’t stand the loneliness, coming to seduce me. I’m not falling for your tricks."

Li Jinhua, already stunned by the beating, only comprehended after recovering her strength that Qin Jin did not trust her and was even deliberately smearing her name, she howled, "You’re talking nonsense."

Old Mrs. Qin: "I can testify that it was also a cold winter night when you came over looking for your third sister, saying you wanted to stay the night. You took the chance when your third sister went to the latrine to stick your hand into Jin’s blanket and touch him. Jin did not agree and scolded you, and only then did you leave."

Everyone had heard about this incident before, it had been gossip around Tulou Village.

But no one had dared to verify it with Qin Jin.

Now with Qin Jin and Old Mrs. Qin both speaking out,

it undoubtedly became a fact as solid as iron.

People began to talk about Li Jinhua.

Yu Feng kicked her while she was down, "I told you she was coming onto my eldest son, but you all wouldn’t believe it."

"Your eldest son can forget it. How handsome is Jin? What even is your eldest son like?" If it weren’t for his bad reputation, there would already be a line of ladies waiting to court Qin Jin.

There were plenty of girls who had eyed him.

It was only because their families disapproved that nothing came of it.

Feng Erguanggun’s parents, ashamed, dragged Li Jinhua back home to lock her up.

She was causing too much trouble.

They had originally asked her to come over and borrow some rice to make porridge for their second son, but she had turned it into this mess.

Li Jinhua wanted to argue her case, but her parents-in-law wouldn’t give her the chance.

With no more spectacle to watch, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Li Qiao and Old Mrs. Qin returned to the cooking area to scoop out the prepared milk tea.

Li Qiao: "Jin, come and have a taste."

Qin Jin blew on the hot steam and took a sip, "It’s velvety smooth."

Li Qiao smiled with her eyes curved, "You’re quite the wordsmith, aren’t you?"

Old Mrs. Qin: "It has none of that gamey taste; it’s delicious, you have so many good ideas."

Li Qiao: "Next time we get sheep’s milk, let’s make it again."

"Okay."

After the family of three finished their milk tea, they started preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner. Once they were done and waiting for it to get dark, Qin Jin brought out the fireworks he had prepared in advance and set them up on the open ground by the door.

With a loud bang, the fireworks burst into the sky.

Hearing the noise, everyone came out to watch.

Li Qiao whispered softly, "The fireworks are so beautiful." If only my parents were here too, I really miss home.
