How I Tamed My Wolfish Husband Back in 80s-Chapter 431 - 433: Serious Matter_1

Li Qiao was very happy. A deferred sentence means she could go home, right? The trial here was fast, and if all went well, the case could be closed in a few days.

Nan Chuyi also found a solution for Wu Lihui’s illness in the medical books left by her ancestors.

When she met with him, she told him, "Your illness has become quite serious, and it’s impossible to cure completely, but I can control it so you won’t feel any discomfort. With proper care, living to eighty shouldn’t be a problem." She presented her own prescription: "The method for using the medicine is clearly written here. You can read, right?"

"I can read."

Nan Chuyi continued to instruct, "You must absolutely follow the directions I’ve written. This is the first course of medication. I’ve prepared it, and you should start taking it today. After you’re done with this course, use the prescription to pick up the second course at the pharmacy. You need to take the medicine for one month without interruption. Otherwise, all efforts will be wasted. Try to avoid heavy lifting if possible; it will overexert your body."

Wu Lihui was very touched: "Okay, thank you, Doctor Nan."

"Saving lives is my duty. Don’t be too polite. After you get better, I hope you..." Nan Chuyi wanted to say she hoped he would do more good deeds, but she just couldn’t articulate it: "I hope you take good care of yourself."

"Eh," Wu Lihui’s eyes moistened. He had encountered a kind soul.

.......

The end of the month arrived swiftly.

Li Qiao heard from Mao Yawen that Tian Yan had been released and only needed to report to the local police station each month. If she didn’t commit any offenses during the deferral period, she wouldn’t have to go to jail. Additionally, her husband and wife left her a letter, filled with expressions of gratitude as Li Qiao read it.

They said they wanted to see her, but Officer Mao didn’t agree.

So they went back to their hometown.

Moreover, during this time, Wu Lihui said he would repay the expenses they had advanced.

After reading the letter, Li Qiao destroyed it.

She didn’t need them to repay her.

She just couldn’t stand by and watch: why should people who live their lives honestly be bullied by villains, and why should defending oneself once cost one’s freedom?

It’s unfair!

The deceased had only himself to blame.

The man’s illness was incurable, yet he was deceived into believing it could be treated, and was presented with a sham prescription.

It was fortunate that the prescription was kept, as it became evidence to counter the claim.

Otherwise, Tian Yan wouldn’t have been released so soon.

The man’s family members were no better, spreading rumors that the woman was harassing their son relentlessly and tarnishing her reputation. It was shameless.

It was just pitiable for the current wife and child.

.....

Once things settled down, Li Qiao focused on her studies. She maintained her position as the top student in her major during the final exams.

She published several papers in her field throughout the semester, achieving impressive results, and with her title as a consultant for the criminal investigation team, Normal University invited her to give a lecture.

She was very nervous about this.

That morning, she specifically went to the Xue family to consult with Xue Lingqing on matters to pay attention to during the lecture.

Xue Lingqing was an open book.

Xue Sufen’s voice carried a hint of melancholy: "If Mrs. Xue saw you two like this, it wouldn’t be easy to explain. Especially for my little uncle, who knows Li Qiao has been married and is still close to her. I really don’t believe he doesn’t like her," she added, acknowledging Li Qiao’s excellence even she had to admit.

In an instant, Xue Lingqing exploded: "Enough with your nonsense, get back to your own home immediately!"

Li Qiao was startled. Xue Sufen had said such things before, but he never explained himself, and now he reacted as if he had eaten gunpowder. Did he really like her, or was he afraid that Mrs. Xue would misunderstand and give him a hard time? "I... Professor Xue, I should go."

Xue Lingqing’s demeanor softened: "Mhm, no need to see you out."

......

Li Qiao went home to spend time with the child.

Mrs. Tao informed her, "My child just came over to say that the elderly at home are not feeling well. I’m going to check on them."

Li Qiao didn’t ask any further, "Okay, if you’re busy, go ahead. Take two fish from the bucket in the kitchen on your way out."

Mrs. Tao wasn’t shy to accept, thanked her, then went to the kitchen to get the fish, purposely choosing two smaller ones. She thanked Li Qiao again before leaving.

......

The next day, Mrs. Tao didn’t come to look after the child and sent a message through her daughter around noon.

It turned out that Mrs. Tao’s mother-in-law had been hospitalized and needed her care, which would require at least a week’s time.

Old Mrs. Qin, upon hearing this, took out two boxes of gifts, "Take these to your grandmother."

"Oh, thank you, Old Mrs. Qin."

"No need to be polite." Old Mrs. Qin looked at Li Qiao, "You have a lecture tomorrow, right? I can look after the child. It’s no trouble at all."

Li Qiao disagreed. The child was almost six months old and had gained a lot of weight; he always wanted to go out to play. It was not convenient to look after him at all, and besides, Old Mrs. Qin had fallen before. What if something happened while they weren’t home? "Let’s see if Jin has time later."

As soon as Qin Jin got off work, Li Qiao brought up the matter with Mrs. Tao.

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Jin said, "I’ll take care of him, I’m available," he emphasized. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Old Mrs. Qin retorted, "What could possibly go wrong with me looking after him?"

Qin Jin replied, "You should rest." He didn’t dare let the elderly woman take care of the baby. Now that the child was bigger, it wasn’t possible for him to lie down all day long. What if she hurt her back while holding the child? "You can spend your free time in the courtyard taking care of the flowers and plants. I’ve heard that there’s an arithmetic class for the elderly in the city center. If you’re really bored, I can sign you up for it. It can help prevent dementia."

"Get lost!"

Qin Jin: "....."

Li Qiao covered her mouth to hide her laughter. With Qin Jin taking care, she felt relieved. The next day, she dressed up and attended the lecture at Normal University, which concluded successfully. Afterwards, she planned to go to the factory to check on her child.

Just as she mounted her bicycle, she was stopped by a student from the school.

"Hello, Miss Li, could you please give me an autograph?"

Li Qiao was surprised, "I’m not a teacher, don’t call me that."

"You’re too modest," the student said, and then took out a book translated by Li Qiao for her to sign.

Li Qiao deliberately signed on a page with text.

Another student pointed to a blank spot, "Just sign here in my book."

Li Qiao looked at him, smiled, and wrote her name larger to prevent the signature from being exploited by someone with ulterior motives.

After signing, she hurried to the shoe factory.

Colorful flags were planted at the entrance; the guardroom was empty, and she found no one after searching the offices. Passing by the finance office, she saw Hu You and asked, "Where is everyone in the factory?"

Surprised, Hu You answered, "What brought you here today? Are you on holiday?"

"I’ve been off for several days now. Have you seen Jin and the child?"

Hu You replied, "Your partner is showing a foreign delegation around the workshop. I was going to follow, but then something came up. I didn’t expect him to speak a foreign language so well; he communicates without any barriers at all. No wonder he can be the factory director." He himself, with only a high school diploma, could only read simple sentences by the book.

Only then did Li Qiao realize that Qin Jin also had important matters today and went looking for him.

From a distance, she saw him holding the child and talking to a blonde woman, followed by a group of people.

She suddenly remembered him mentioning a few days ago that due to the country’s opening-up policy, many foreigners were attracted, and he planned to expand the factory’s business abroad.

By then, the garment factory would also benefit.

Such an important matter, and he had brought his son along.

She suddenly felt how selfish she was.

Worried about affecting her studies, she had concealed her pregnancy. After giving birth, it was only because of Cao Liwan’s gossip that she had to publicly acknowledge her child’s existence.
