Chapter 313 Wise Husband
Li Yingtang spent the whole afternoon in the shop, while Ding Wei served one customer after another.

"You said you had no customers, but you received four customers in one afternoon and made three of them. That's more profitable than my shop." Li Yingtang was speechless.

Ding Wei chuckled, "Because of you! What's your birth chart? Your birth chart definitely indicates wealth."

"Whether it brings wealth or not, I can't tell you. Since you believe my nonsense so much, why don't you just put up my picture here to attract customers for you? Don't bother me tomorrow, I have a ton of things to do myself." Li Yingtang picked up her bag and left.

"Hey, I'm inviting you to dinner."

"Don't mention it," Li Yingtang replied as she walked away.

While there was still time, she decided to pick Qin Xian up from get off work.

I collected the payments from both shops first, and then waited for him to get off work at the hospital entrance.

She stood at the parking spot and waited for about fifteen minutes.

A familiar figure came into view.

When he saw her, he strode towards her and asked, "What brings you here today?"

"I missed you." Li Yingtang smiled gently.

Qin Xian brought up barbecue again: "Want some more?" He got up early today to buy all kinds of meat and seasonings and put them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.

When you get home, you can simply cut them into small pieces, skewer them, and grill them on a rack.

Li Yingtang: "I had forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it. Eat up, I want to eat."

"Okay, I'll go home and do it."

Li Yingtang then asked, "Did you see Liu Lirong today?"

Qin Xian: "I haven't seen it."

Li Yingtang: "I guessed Qian Gang didn't take Liu Lirong seriously." Luckily, she saw through his intentions.

Inside the courtyard on Xian'an Road.

Qin Xian prepared all the ingredients and set up the barbecue grill.

There was a knock at the door. Li Yingtang went to open it and her good mood instantly sombered when she saw the person on the other end: "Captain Xi, what brings you here today? Please come in."

Xi Yue: "I know it won't be good news if I come here."

Li Yingtang: At least you have some self-awareness.

Xi Yue's gaze shifted from Qin Xian to the barbecue grill: "I can smell it from afar. So it was you who made this. You two are living a really good life."

Qin Xian: "Sit down and have something to eat."

"I won't stand on ceremony," Xi Yue said, helping with the grilling first.

Qin Xian took the initiative to ask, "What case?"

Xi Yue: "A woman's body was found in the suburbs; her heart was missing. I wasn't planning to contact you; our team's coroner was transferred to another team."

“Cases targeting women are coming one after another. You men are all violent freaks, specifically targeting vulnerable women.” Li Yingtang spoke out for the victims.

Xi Yue retorted, "You're generalizing again, what about all of us men?"

Li Yingtang: "Isn't that right?"

"Of course not, I..."

Qin Xian interrupted, "My wife doesn't like hearing this. Stop talking, or you'll scare her and she'll never forgive you."

Xi Yue: "." Your wife will be scared? How dramatic!
He didn't bring it up, and instead talked about his own affairs: "Weiwei and I are planning to get married during the National Day holiday. Remember to adjust your schedule accordingly."

Qin Xian: "You guys are fast enough."

"You're faster than me. I've racked my brains but still can't figure it out. When did you get married?" Xi Yue asked, puzzled. "Why didn't you invite me?"

He met Qin Xian during last year's National Day holiday.

At the time, Li Yingtang was not with him at all. He also clearly remembered that Qin Xian said he didn't have a partner and didn't plan to find one.

As a result, he got a wife when winter came.

"If you don't understand, think about it slowly." Qin Xian finished grilling the meat and called out, "Tangtang, it's ready."

Li Yingtang reached out and took the plate, picked up a meat skewer, took a bite, and chewed slowly: "Mmm, delicious, much more fragrant than what you buy outside." The meat was tender and juicy. When she ate the other skewer, she let him take a bite first.

Qin Xian took a bite: "It's really good."

“Your performance won’t do,” Xi Yue said.

Qin Xian: "Is it inappropriate to give leftovers to your wife?"

Xi Yue vomited blood: "What I mean is, if word gets back to Weiwei that you're a virtuous husband, what will happen if she asks me to learn from you?"

Qin Xian smiled and said, "Cooking is not difficult." Moreover, he felt a great sense of accomplishment every time he saw his wife enjoying the food he cooked.

If she says it tastes bad, he definitely won't be interested in cooking. Xi Yue, speaking without restraint, said, "Are you being a masochist? Your behavior is essentially raising women's standards for men, you know that?"

Qin Xian: "Don't eat anymore."

Xi Yue smiled apologetically: "Just kidding."

Qin Xian and Xi Yue finished their barbecue and left.

Li Yingtang closed the door and sat in the courtyard drinking tea when the dog lying at his feet suddenly got up and barked at the gate.

The next second, there was a knock on the door.

The dog turned around and ran back to Li Yingtang's side.

The dog only barks when it sees someone it knows. She called out loudly, "Who is it?"

"Yingtang, it's me."

Li Yingtang recognized Jia Yan's voice. What was he doing here at this hour?
She opened the door: "Uncle Jia, is there something you need?"

"I don't know why, but I've been thinking about you all these past few days, so I came to visit and brought you these nutritional supplements," Jia Yan said.

Li Yingtang lowered her eyes; the packaging resembled ginseng and cordyceps.

It's so nice to have someone who cares.

She welcomed the person into the courtyard, turned on the lights, and poured them tea.

Jia Yan: "Xiao Xian isn't here?"

Li Yingtang: "The criminal investigation team asked him for help, and they just left not long ago."

Jia Yan asked with concern, "He has a regular job, is he able to manage? Don't overwork yourself."

"Why are you so tired at such a young age?" Li Yingtang said dismissively.

Jia Yan smiled and said, "Yes, young people should strive. Have you been busy lately?"

Li Yingtang: "It's alright, I haven't been idle at all. Do you like children?"

Jia Yan paused for a moment: "I don't dislike it."

Li Yingtang: "Will you take care of it? Changing diapers and stuff?"

Jia Yan didn't understand why she asked that, but still answered seriously, "I've never taken care of a child under five years old, so I don't know how to switch. If I had known about Xiao Xian's existence back then, I would definitely have learned how to switch." He would also protect Qin Mo.

Now that the old lady has passed away, he feels even more regretful.

If he had firmly chosen Qin Mo back then, how happy would their family of three have been?
that's too regretful.

Li Yingtang: "Oh, are you still taking your medication lately?"

"She finished eating and said that Xiao Xian is recovering well. Let's stop for a while before proceeding with the next step of treatment." Jia Yan's gaze softened as he spoke of Qin Xian.

Li Yingtang: "That's good."

Jia Yan then said, "I'll be going now." It was really inappropriate for her to sit with her daughter-in-law when her son wasn't home.

Li Yingtang got up and saw him out.

The old lady next door was taking a stroll and asked with a curious look on her face, "Young lady, who is this?"

Li Yingtang hesitated for a moment before explaining, "My father-in-law."

Jia Yan's calm heart was stirred by these words.

She actually admitted his identity in front of outsiders.

Will Xiaoxian be angry when she finds out?

The old woman said, "Your father-in-law? Didn't Little Stone's parents pass away a long time ago? He was raised by his great-aunt. When did he get another father?"

Li Yingtang: "It's true that he was raised by my great-aunt, but there are some inside stories that I can't tell you. However, he is indeed Ah-Xian's father."

The old woman exclaimed in surprise, "I never imagined Xiao Xian's father was so young!"

"He's not young anymore, probably in his fifties or sixties, but he looks young."

Jia Yan: "." Who's in their fifties or sixties?
He muttered to himself, but didn't explain.

He nodded to the old woman as a greeting, then said to Li Yingtang, "Yingtang, please take good care of Xiaoxian." He then got into his carriage and drove away.

“Okay.” Li Yingtang readily agreed.

If she, as a wife, doesn't take care of her husband, who will?
The old woman watched Jia Yan disappear from sight: "Upon closer inspection, he does look quite similar to Little Stone in build."

"It's normal for fathers and sons to look alike."

"Was it born out of wedlock?" the old woman asked in a low voice.
