How I Tamed My Wolfish Husband Back in 80s-Chapter 29 - Consideration_1

29 -29: Consideration_1

The two sides were at an impasse.

As more and more onlookers gathered at the door.

Feng Dezhong’s emotions grew increasingly unstable, “Back off, all of you!”

Xun Dong urged everyone to return to their own homes.

No one wanted to miss such a major piece of news, a rarity in the village for decades; no one heeded his advice.

They even discussed why Feng Dezhong took Li Qiao hostage and didn’t target someone else.

The pointing and murmuring of the crowd made Feng Dezhong particularly agitated, pressing the firewood knife against Li Qiao’s neck even harder.

Fortunately, Li Qiao was wearing a high-neck sweater and a scarf, but she still felt pain.

Fear mingled with terror in her heart, wondering if today she would meet her end here.

She didn’t want to die.

She was so frightened that she cried.

Qin Jin’s heart clenched suddenly, his eyes turning bloodshot as he grabbed Feng Dezhong’s son who was watching the scene, held the boy’s neck, and threatened, “If you don’t let go of my wife, I’ll make sure you end up with no descendants to mourn you when you die!”

In the countryside, continuing the family line is extremely important, and Feng Dezhong had only this one son; Qin Jin didn’t believe he would sit idle.

The Feng family members finally came to their senses, frantically begging Qin Jin to let go of the child.

“Let go of my wife first!” Qin Jin bellowed with all his might.

Feng Dezhong’s attention was drawn away, and in his moment of distraction, Li Qiao seized the opportunity to grasp his wrist holding the knife and spun her body, bending her leg to deliver all her strength in an attack to his lower body.

Ao—

Feng Dezhong shrieked in a high pitch, his body curling from the intense pain.

Xun Dong and others took the chance to swarm over him and pin him to the ground.

Li Qiao took the opportunity to run to Qin Jin, pressing his arm to make him release Feng Dezhong’s son.

Qin Jin slowly turned around, only then realizing that Li Qiao had escaped.

His anxious heart fell to ease, and his body and spirit suddenly relaxed.

The young man collapsed to the ground, his face flushed, sobbing with the relief of having survived the ordeal.

The rest of the Feng family started demanding why Feng Dezhong killed Lame Feng.

Feng Dezhong glared, remaining silent.

Li Qiao calmed down and joined Qin Jin in comforting Old Mrs.

Qin, who had collapsed in fright.

Old Mrs.

Qin patted her chest, frightened, “This Feng Dezhong looks so honest and kind, but he actually killed someone, and he tried to pin the crime on you, taking Qiaoqiao as a hostage.

Thankfully, nothing happened.

Such a person deserves to be shot.”

Qin Jin echoed Old Mrs.

Qin’s sentiment, cursing Feng Dezhong’s ancestors.

Only after cooling down did he remember to ask Li Qiao how she escaped.

Li Qiao felt a bit embarrassed; she glanced at Xun Dong and the others in the courtyard, then at Qin Jin and the grandmother, and choosing her words carefully, she said, “I took advantage of his tension over his child to kick him.

The pain made him let me go.

How did he try to run away?”

“I guess he realized his cover was blown and tried to flee over the wall.

Luckily, I saw him,” Qin Jin said.

At that moment, Zhou Chao’s parents came to ask Xun Dong when they could take Zhou Chao home.

“Sorry about this, we will arrange for someone to send him back to you, with some compensation,” Xun Dong said.

The Zhou family felt relieved.

As long as the person was fine, what else did they need compensation for?

They thanked Xun Dong while also cursing at Feng Dezhong.

“You bastard, it was clearly you who did it, yet you watched Zhou Chao being taken away.

Our neighbors shunned us, and you came to our house several times pretending to care.

We thought you were a good person, but it turns out you’re the murderer…”

…..

About half an hour later, the police car arrived and Feng Dezhong was taken away.

Li Qiao and Qin Jin were also called by Xun Dong to make a statement.

As several people got into the car, Peng Chunhua and Feng Hu happened to return from visiting relatives and saw this, thinking Qin Jin had been arrested again.

They started asking the neighbors, who were about to disperse, what had happened.

They learned that Li Qiao and the doctor from the county had been involved in identifying Feng Dezhong as the murderer and were taken hostage by Feng Dezhong, while Qin Jin had taken Feng Dezhong’s son to save Li Qiao.

In the end, they were all taken away by the police.

Ordinary people naturally revere the police, believing that law-abiding citizens should not intersect with them.

Qin Jin was often summoned by the police, so as the story spread, it turned into gossip that he might have been involved in the incident, which is why he was arrested along with the others.

Or why else did Feng Dezhong take Li Qiao hostage with a knife?

The gossip-monger Peng Chunhua wanted to verify the story with Old Mrs.

Qin.

But Old Mrs.

Qin, exhausted in body and mind from the ordeal, sent Peng Chunhua away under the pretext of needing to rest.

Old Mrs.

Qin’s response, in the eyes of Peng Chunhua, became a sign of being overly heartbroken, and she went out to share her own interpretations.

…

After a nap, Old Mrs.

Qin’s spirit recovered.

As dusk fell, she got up to cook.

Just as she placed the steamed buns into the steamer, Peng Chunhua showed up again.

With concern she said, “Old Mrs.

Qin, you must take good care of yourself.”

Old Mrs.

Qin, bewildered, “What’s wrong with me?

Haven’t I always been careful?” ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Peng Chunhua said sympathetically, “I heard Jin has been taken in again and Qiaoqiao got hurt too.

If you’re in any trouble, just ask me for help.”

While they were speaking, a voice came from the door.

“Grandma, we’re back, and Chunhua is here too.”

Li Qiao and Qin Jin entered one after the other.

Old Mrs.

Qin, with joy in her brows, “What have you two been up to?

It’s so late and only now you return.”

Li Qiao, “We could have left after giving our statements, but Dr.

Xun invited me to visit his workplace and offered me an assistant position, which delayed us.”

Peng Chunhua stood there, dumbfounded.

Weren’t the villagers saying Qin Jin had been arrested for being involved in a murder?

Wasn’t Li Qiao supposed to have been grabbed by Feng Dezhong by the neck and taken to the hospital for injuries?

“You…” she began, “you want to go to the county town to be an assistant and not go to college?”

Li Qiao, “I’m still considering it.

Dr.

Xun said that if I become his assistant, he will apply for a job for Jin too.”

Old Mrs.

Qin was overjoyed, “Well, that’s just great.”

“Where will you two live?” Peng Chunhua asked enviously.

Her own husband was the same age as Qin Jin, had a clean reputation, but could only follow a country master carpenter to learn woodworking.

Qin Jin, a notorious hooligan, by what right did he land a job in the city?

Could it be that Li Qiao had seduced Dr.

Xun?

Li Qiao said, “They’ve arranged accommodations over there.”

Peng Chunhua originally wanted to see Old Mrs.

Qin lonely and pitiful, and for her to witness her grandson reject the favor, as something positive for herself.

In the end, she was the one who felt like a fool.

Not wanting to see Li Qiao’s triumphant face, she made an excuse and left.

Old Mrs.

Qin saw her out and then closed the door, “When are you going into town for work?”

“Honestly, I’m not too keen on it,” Li Qiao hesitated.

“Then don’t go.

Don’t force yourself just because someone promised a job for Jin,” Old Mrs.

Qin changed the subject, “What exactly happened with Feng Dezhong?

Why did he kill Lame Feng?”

Li Qiao was also unclear, “According to what I’ve heard, Feng Dezhong confessed that he borrowed money from Lame Feng to build a house years ago and hadn’t paid it back.

Lame Feng demanded that his wife spend a night with him, and in exchange, the debt would be forgiven.

Enraged, Feng Dezhong pushed him.

Lame Feng, not giving up, kept insisting until, in anger, Feng Dezhong lost control and killed him.”

“What a sin, lusting after his own brother’s wife.

Is this the act of a human?”

……

News about Qin Jin reached Tulou Village, not far from Feng Family Village, the next day.

Dong Lamei only heard that he had been taken away and did not know that he had been released.

She thought to herself it served him right, and once home, she told Li Shengcai, “When his family comes begging us for help, we must not get involved.

He beat our daughter to such a state; all the good marriage prospects have disappeared.

I’ll never forgive him in my lifetime.”

Li Jinhua had no interest in the suitors introduced by the villagers.

She still wanted Qin Jin.

As his wife, she’d enjoy boundless wealth in the future.

What was a couple of beatings?

Once a wealthy matron, with endless money to spend, she could endure him beating her three times a day.

After struggling with herself all night, she secretly traveled to the county town by bus the next day.

She planned to find a way to see Qin Jin.

As long as he was willing to divorce Li Qiao, she was ready to convince her parents to pay his way out and wouldn’t hold his beatings against him.

But upon arriving in the county town, Li Jinhua was lost.

She didn’t know where to begin looking for Qin Jin.

She inquired along the way until she reached the West District Detention Center and indeed heard some news about Qin Jin.

However, the news she received was not what she had expected.
