Li Qiao took the opportunity to hold onto him, leaning her head against his shoulder as she continued to flip through the materials in her hand.
Qin Jin lowered his gaze to look at her hand, fair and tender, the nails a natural pink.
If it weren’t for the fact that they were in a public place, he really wanted to pinch her hand gently, slowly rubbing it.
“Li Qiao.” Hu Xiufang glanced at them and immediately turned her head away.
The nerve of Li Qiao, she thought.
Out in broad daylight, leaning on a man, and that Qin Jin, called ‘loser’ by others, seemed quite proper.
She lowered her head, not daring to look at them: “You keep an eye out for me, how’s this book?”
Li Qiao took it and browsed through the table of contents, then quickly skimmed a few pages.
“Not bad, it basically covers all the knowledge points.
Finish it and lend it to me, I’ll let the educated youth have a go at it.”
“Alright.”
Li Qiao lingered at the book stall for nearly half an hour, buying a stack of materials and novels, spending less than two and a half yuan.
Hu Xiufang also bought quite a bit.
After leaving the market, Li Qiao and Qin Jin saw Hu Xiufang off on her car before heading home.
After traveling some distance, Li Qiao suddenly remembered something, “How much did you sell the morels for?” She had been wanting to ask, but it was not convenient to do so with Hu Xiufang along.
“One hundred and one yuan, and I stayed there to have a meal and discuss future supply matters.”
Li Qiao was excited, one hundred and one yuan?
That’s a fortune!
“We must have a feast tonight to celebrate!
Let’s go straight to the market later to buy fish and shrimp, I’ll cook personally.”
Qin Jin agreed readily; not just for fish and shrimp, even if she wanted to drink thousand-year turtle soup, he’d find a way to buy it.
Li Qiao calmed down and said, “That thing is not available every day, is it easy to supply?
Won’t people give you a hard time if you can’t supply it?”
“Easy to supply?
My brothers are all over the collective farm.
With our relationships and a little compensation, who would worry about nobody collecting them for me?” Qin Jin considered aloud.
Li Qiao suddenly remembered Li Jinhua’s assessment of Qin Jin, good at leadership and strategy.
But was he not just someone who swore constantly and always yelled and fought?
How could she see his leadership ability?
Could it be Li Jinhua knew something about Qin Jin’s future?
At this thought, Li Qiao carefully chose her words, “Jin, did you think about what you wanted to do in the future before you thought about marrying me?”
“Of course I thought about it.
Ever since I was young, I was always contemplating how to make a fortune, to live a life others envy with grandma.
Then nobody could call me poor, and when people hear the name Qin Jin, they’d think of three words, ‘that man’s rich!'”
Li Qiao: “….” Isn’t that six words?
Can’t count!
And he’s talking about getting rich.
She might as well rely on herself.
It didn’t matter if he was poor; she’d make money while he stayed home with the kids.
No, no, he can’t count and has a bad temper and likes to fight.
And the original owner of this body, lovesick as she was, didn’t want to marry, yet accepted the dowry and got married.
After marriage, she caused a commotion, wanting to die and living a wretched life, secretly agreeing to save her first time for Cai Hechuan.
She’s just crazy.
With such genetic combinations, better not to have kids.
The two of them living together was nice enough.
“Why aren’t you asking what I want to do now?” Qin Jin said.
Li Qiao’s thoughts returned, and she repeated his question.
Qin Jin cleared his throat, very formally and seriously said, “I still want to make big money!
So that whenever people talk about you, they’ll say, ‘That woman really knows how to pick a man.
Look at her man, he gives her whatever she wants.
She is spoiled rotten.'”
Li Qiao was so charmed that she laughed heartily, the shadows in her heart instantly swept away.
“If you really become rich, you’ll certainly be very busy, but I want your company, so we don’t need to earn a lot of money, just enough is fine.
The most important thing is that the family is happy.”
Qin Jin was slightly surprised; there are actually people who don’t love money.
The most crucial thing was that she believed he, a mere farmer, could make a lot of money.
He felt inexplicably happy and proud, buoyed by her belief in him, and started to whistle.
Li Qiao echoed him.
His expression cracked slightly, and he immediately fell silent, “I won’t whistle anymore, and you shouldn’t either.
If a girl whistles like a hooligan and people hear it, she’ll be criticized.”
Li Qiao pouted: “Okay.”
Even whistling could draw criticism.
Not like she was flirting with someone, does that still count as hooligan?
They joked and laughed all the way to the town’s market.
The fish this season were exceptionally plump, and Li Qiao chose two big ones, also buying half a bucket of shrimp.
The total cost was sixty-five cents.
On the way back, she ran into Li Jinhua, who was walking to school.
“Big sis, did you finish your exam?”
Li Jinhua hadn’t even spoken yet, but Li Qiao, upon hearing her, jumped down from the back seat of the car, her expression icily interrogative, “How do you know I had an exam today?
Don’t tell me it was Hu Xiufang who said it.”
After getting her admission ticket, she hadn’t said a word to anyone.
Hu Xiufang had been worried about not doing well, afraid of being laughed at by her classmates for bad results, and had specifically instructed her to keep it to herself.
Yet Jinhua seemed to know.
What did that mean?
It meant that it was Jinhua who had stolen her admission ticket.
Fortunately, she had a good memory and remembered her admission number and seat number.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t just mean that a month’s effort was wasted, but also that she would lose the chance to get into university early.
“I did take your admission ticket, but I just looked at it and then put it back,” Jinhua said.
Li Qiao doubted her, “Put it back?
You took it with you, didn’t you!”
Jinhua waved her hands in denial, “No, I didn’t take it.
I swear, if I took away your admission ticket, I will never get married in this lifetime!”
Qin Jin said coldly, “With your character, no man would dare to want you.
Swearing is as good as farting!”
“I really didn’t take it!” Jinhua ground her teeth in anger.
She had several matchmaking prospects before, all with good conditions.
Especially that doctor from the health clinic, who was old but still rehired by the town hospital, very promising indeed.
How could she be unwanted?
She didn’t know how much people adored her.
Seeing Jinhua’s current demeanor didn’t look like she was lying,
Li Qiao thought this time it might not be her doing it.
In the dormitory, more than half the people were displeased with her, and she couldn’t guess who it was at the moment.
But she had to find out who did it.
Shifting her thoughts, she softened her attitude and smiled at Jinhua, “You swore, so I believe you.”
“So, did you miss your exam?” Jinhua probed.
“I took it.
I remembered the admission number and seat number, made a copy based on Hu Xiufang’s admission ticket, and even carved a seal with a radish to stamp it,” Li Qiao took out her admission ticket and showed it to Jinhua, “Look!”
Jinhua’s eyes widened; wasn’t this the admission ticket?
It’s fake?
A carved seal?
What in the world was Li Qiao capable of now?
Her exam scores aren’t directly perfect scores, then she understands sign language, and now she can even carve seals?
Is there anything she can’t do? ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
On this trip back to the village, she had consulted the local shaman.
The shaman said that someone like Li Qiao must be haunted by water ghosts from the river.
She needed to exorcise the spirits quickly.
Jinhua believed it without a doubt, after all, she considered herself to be a supernatural being.
But getting Li Qiao to return to her mother’s home for the exorcism was a problem.
So she got a talisman from the shaman.
When she got to school, she would place it under Li Qiao’s pillow; after sleeping on it for seven times seven, forty-nine days, the ghost would dissipate.
By then, the silly Li Qiao would return, naturally under her control.
She came back to her senses and said, “You’re too tough, didn’t the inspectors notice anything?”
Li Qiao replied, “They don’t check each and every one.
Alright, you go to school, I won’t talk to you anymore.” She got back into Qin Jin’s car.
Jinhua asked, “You bought so many fish and shrimp, are you going back to see dad?”
Qin Jin replied, “Didn’t we just visit?
What’s wrong with him again?” He had brought a bag full of stuff last week, including cigarettes, liquor, fish, and eggs.
After eating, did he start pretending to be ill again?
Jinhua said, “His chest feels uncomfortable, he says it’s stuffy.”
Qin Jin: “…”
Li Qiao retorted, “If he’s feeling stuffy, he should see a doctor, what good does telling me do?
I can’t cure him.”
She urged Qin Jin to leave.
