“The ribs might be crushed, and the head might have been concussed.

I’m not a doctor, so I can’t be certain,” Qin Jin said cautiously.

Dong Lamei staggered with fright, “Isn’t your method supposed to save people?

How could it harm them?”

“It’s indeed for saving people, but not controlling the strength properly can still hurt someone,” Qin Jin added, “Better go to the hospital to have it checked out, especially since her head was hit.

Just to be safe, don’t want to end up like Insane Hu.”

Dong Lamei was flustered, blaming Li Qiao for being too rough.

Li Qiao got angry, “You asked me to save her.

I put in the effort, yet if it doesn’t turn out well, I’m the criminal?

Don’t ask me to come back next time!

Humph!” She left.

Qin Jin followed her out.

Dong Lamei was so anxious she stamped her feet.

Ultimately, it was all because of Li Jinhua’s own foolery, messing around with drinking.

And Li Shengcai, if you must discipline, why resort to hitting?

In the end, Li Shengcai gathered things to accompany Li Jinhua into the city to see a doctor.

…

Meanwhile, after leaving, Li Qiao and Qin Jin arrived at the previously agreed upon cottage.

As they were embracing, Li Qiao suddenly heard voices.

The shadow cast by the encounter with Li Jinhua at the village entrance was still present.

Anxious, she said, “Jin, someone’s coming.

Maybe we should go home instead.

I can’t relax when I’m always on edge.”

Qin Jin thought it over and agreed.

Previously at the threshing field, she was too restricted.

Talking about a date, and all they did was kiss.

“Alright, let’s go home,” he conceded.

As the car sped across the road, Li Qiao remembered that she had not taken her household registration booklet.

She told Qin Jin.

Qin Jin inwardly thought, Are you deliberately stalling?

“Getting the certificate is not urgent,” he said.

Li Qiao insisted, “Let’s get it anyway.” Her grandmother had hinted at it, and was obviously worried about her.

Although it was for Qin Jin’s sake that her grandmother treated her well, she truly benefited from it and couldn’t let the old lady down.

“Jin, turn the car around quickly.”

Qin Jin sighed softly, feeling helpless with her.

Was he losing his masculinity?

Lately, she’d been leading him by the nose.

It wasn’t like him at all.

Upon returning home, Li Qiao ran into Li Shengcai and Li Jinhua, who were about to leave.

“Qiaoqiao, you’re back.

Your mom is blunt with her words, don’t take it to heart,” Li Shengcai said.

Dong Lamei interjected, “I was just anxious at the moment.”

Seeing the elders giving her a way to step down, Li Qiao took it gracefully, “I was impulsive too, and I was in the wrong.

Mom, where’s our household registration booklet?

Grandma is urging me and Jin to register our marriage.”

“Register?

Wouldn’t that mean your household registration has to be moved to his home?” Li Jinhua interjected.

She remembered that next year, or the year after, the collective would be dissolved, and the village would distribute land.

In her previous life, Li Qiao moved her registration after the land was distributed.

Why was it happening sooner this lifetime?

Was Li Qiao really not reborn?

“Wait here,” Dong Lamei said as she turned and went inside to look for the household registration booklet.

Li Qiao’s registration was here, so when harvest time came, an extra person’s share of grain had to be contributed.

After eating and drinking for free at home for so many years, it was finally good riddance.

Even a stepmother as generous as her wouldn’t pay for her daughter-in-law’s family’s share.

As Dong Lamei entered the house, Li Jinhua followed close behind.

Li Qiao, sensing something was up, went in too.

Li Jinhua had a belly full of persuasive words, but before she could speak, Li Qiao’s arrival made her as antsy as an ant on a hot pan.

Li Qiao narrowed her eyes slightly, “Jinhua, do you want to speak with Mom?

Or is it that you can’t accept Jin and I getting the certificate?”

Li Jinhua indeed couldn’t accept it.

She was so upset her features were distorted.

Setting aside the land distribution issue for later.

Once the certificate was acquired, as long as Li Qiao didn’t mess up, she’d be the wife of an incredibly wealthy man.

She’d reside in a grand mansion she’d never even dream of seeing in her lifetime, surrounded by servants, spending money freely, and wearing beautiful clothes without limit.

The children she bore would be blessed as well.

“There’s a saying, isn’t there?

Their child is born already in Rome.”

“Why didn’t she get reborn earlier?”

“If she had been reborn earlier, she could have jumped into the river too, and then Qin Jin would have saved her.

Her parents would have sought him out to take responsibility.

As long as Old Mrs.

Qin agreed, he would have definitely accepted.”

Li Qiao looked at her constipated expression and sighed inwardly, probably Li Jinhua was truly in love with Qin Jin.

The villagers said Li Jinhua had several matchmaking candidates who were quite handsome, with stable jobs too.

There were supply and marketing co-op workers, town school teachers, and even doctors from the health clinic.

She could pick anyone she liked.

As for Qin Jin, aside from a handsome face, he had a bad reputation and two run-down houses. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Even his wedding had been funded by his fair-weather friends who stole money from their own families to put together the dowry.

The external debt wasn’t paid off yet.

She had wanted several times to demand the dowry back, but she felt Dong Lamei really had it tough and couldn’t bring herself to ask.

Fearing that Li Jinhua would get involved with Qin Jin again, Dong Lamei turned over the family register and immediately handed it to Li Qiao, “Don’t lose it, alright?

Bring it back to me after getting the certificate.”

“Okay, mom, I’m leaving.”

“Eh, take it slow.”

Li Qiao and Qin Jin left.

Only then did Li Jinhua say, “Mom, why did you give them the family register?

You should’ve asked for some money before handing it over.”

“I would have liked to ask, but he’d need to have it.

And there’s your third sister; she’s no lamp that consumes little oil.

Didn’t you hear her asking me for the dowry money Loser Qin gave, the last time we went to see a movie?

Ah, this losing venture, always throwing her lot in with outsiders, I raised her for nothing.

And then there’s you, even less of a worry-saver than your third sister.

At least, she knows to bring something good back home, whereas you don’t even have a husband’s family.

I can’t count on you; I still have to rely on your brother,” Dong Lamei started to nag, going on and on.

….

Li Qiao first went back to Feng Family Village with Qin Jin to get his family register then went downtown to get the marriage certificate and dealt with the household registration until the evening before she finally got home.

She handed over the marriage certificate and the family register to Old Mrs.

Qin.

Old Mrs.

Qin, touching the certificate and looking at the added page in the family register, beamed with joy, now it was secure.

“I’ll keep these for you.”

“Alright.” Li Qiao went into the room to put away her natal family’s register.

Qin Jin said, “Since we have the car available, I’ll go deliver the register.”

Li Qiao was only too happy to agree since otherwise, she’d have to make another trip tomorrow, and face Li Jinhua again.

Qin Jin took the family register and was about to leave when Li Qiao pulled him back, tiptoed, and pecked him on the face, saying shyly, “Be careful, I’ll wait for you to come back.”

Qin Jin felt his blood boiling, his breathing becoming rapid and hot in an instant, “Okay, wait for me.” He turned and ran out, stumbling over the threshold and charging several meters without looking back.

Li Qiao couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

This man, really!

So impatient.

Li Qiao boiled water for a bath, changed into clean clothes, and got into the quilt first to wait.

She was almost asleep yet he hadn’t returned.

Thinking of Li Jinhua’s cunning, she couldn’t help but worry that Qin Jin might be taken advantage of.

This was her meal ticket, her first love; if they ever broke up in the future, that would be just moonshine!

Nobody could take him away.

She immediately dressed and took a flashlight to go find him.

Just as she was nearing the village entrance, she ran into Qin Jin, reeking of alcohol.

Li Qiao covered her nose with disgust, “Have you been drinking?”

Qin Jin replied, “It’s from Liu Er in Jiangpu Village.

He got drunk and fell asleep on the roadside.

I found him and took him home.”

Li Qiao asked, “Really?” Did he also have such a helpful heart?

Qin Jin moved close and blew on her face, “Smell it.”

Li Qiao sniffed and, indeed, there was no smell of alcohol.
