80s: The cold-faced tough guy was controlled by the beautiful woman

Chapter 314 Like Having Schizophrenia
Li Yingtang: "You have a vivid imagination." Her thoughts are quite accurate, but she won't admit it. If she remains ambiguous, the old lady might start making wild guesses and spreading rumors.

Even if the old woman wasn't one of the gossipy women in the village, she still had to come up with a reasonable explanation, just in case.

A thought flashed through my mind, and I came to a conclusion: "My father-in-law only had one child, Ah-Xian, and his only partner was my mother-in-law. Back then, my father-in-law was serving in the military and went missing on a mission. My mother-in-law didn't like my mother-in-law and thought she was a jinx, so she took the opportunity to kick her out."

After leaving her husband's family home, her mother-in-law discovered she was pregnant. She tried to contact her father-in-law several times, but received no response, leaving her to raise the child alone.

Later, her mother-in-law fell ill and passed away, and Ah-Xian was adopted by her great-aunt.

Here, the father-in-law went on a mission for several years. When he returned, he found his wife gone. Heartbroken, he never remarried and instead adopted a son.

After moving to the city, Ah-Xian went to visit a friend. Because he resembled his mother-in-law, someone from her side of the family saw him and that's how they found out what had happened.

The old woman believed it; such things happen quite often in rural areas.

One of her neighbors in the countryside was like that. When the man was young, he went to fight in the war, and his wife stayed at home to take care of the whole family. After the war, the man's status improved, and his mother began to look down on her daughter-in-law, thinking that she was not good enough for her son from head to toe.

The whole family conspired to kick that daughter-in-law out, along with her unborn child; she was truly pitiful. "Your father-in-law is quite kind and righteous."

Li Yingtang gave a vague reply, dismissed the old woman, locked the door, put the gifts Jia Yan had brought into the study, and then put away the tea set in the courtyard.

Turn off the mosquito repellent incense.

I washed up and went to bed, but tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

Frustrated, he got up and went to his study to draw design drafts.

After wasting a stack of paper, I selected two relatively satisfactory drafts and stuffed them into a folder: "I'll save them for when the cabinet factory starts production."

A sound came from beside my ear.

A moment later, Qin Xian stepped into the study: "Aren't you going to sleep yet?"

“I couldn’t sleep. Uncle Jia came today and said he’s been thinking about you a lot lately. He brought some ginseng and cordyceps to help you recover.” Li Yingtang pointed to the gifts.

Qin Xian gave a cold look and merely glanced at it: "I don't care about his ginseng and cordyceps."

Li Yingtang: "When he left, the old lady saw him and asked who he was. I said he was your father, otherwise, I was afraid people would talk about me if a man was with me late at night."

Qin Xian: "He deliberately chose this time to come."

Li Yingtang: "." She had originally planned to mention to him the idea of ​​asking her father-in-law to coax the child in the future, but now it seemed that this was not going to work.

Things will work themselves out; let's discuss it again.

She changed the subject: "Have you taken care of everything with Xi Yue?"

Qin Xian responded, "Mm."

Li Yingtang: "Was the deceased's heart really ripped out? Tell us."

Qin Xian's lips curved into a smile: "Aren't you afraid? The methods are extremely cruel, and the deceased was poisoned before death."

Li Yingtang covered her mouth and yawned softly.

Qin Xian sighed helplessly. He knew she wasn't interested in listening, so she deliberately changed the subject, worried that he would be angry because of Jia Yan. He paused for a moment, then said, "I'm tired after a long day. You should go to sleep early."

“Alright.” Li Yingtang stepped out of the study and went back to her room to wait for him.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Qin Xian arrived, and after their eyes met, he said, "Still can't sleep?"

Li Yingtang: "Hmm, I've been sleeping very poorly for the past two days, having frequent dreams. After waking up, I can go back to sleep, and the dream can continue. I can even control my dreams. Isn't that amazing?"

Qin Xian: "Your description sounds like you have schizophrenia."

Li Yingtang: "Schizophrenia? Don't scare me."

Qin Xian: "Are there any other symptoms? I'll take you to see a psychiatrist tomorrow."

"Psychiatry? Don't exaggerate." Li Yingtang closed her eyes, adjusted to a comfortable sleeping position, and ignored him. Qin Xian suppressed a smile, finally behaving himself.

Early next morning.

When Li Yingtang woke up, she smelled a strong herbal scent.

A quick glance revealed an incense burner on the dressing table, wisps of smoke curling gently around it—not the kind of incense used to repel mosquitoes.

There was a note on the table, the handwriting neat and strong:
With this sleep-inducing incense blended overnight, are you still dreaming?

Li Yingtang realized this too late and slept soundly that night.

Having a doctor as a husband has many advantages.

She got ready and left for work. When she saw Wu Hong at the door, she was slightly surprised: "Sister-in-law Cheng, when did you arrive? Why didn't you knock?"

Wu Hong smiled and said, "I don't know if you're up yet. The knocking was too loud and disturbed your sleep. I just picked some chili peppers, thinking you don't grow them, so I brought some over for you. The chicken I gave you before, you raised it saying you wanted to eat the eggs. But the eggs are too small. These two geese lay eggs very frequently; you can collect the goose eggs and stir-fry them with scallions to make a dish."

"You're too kind." Li Yingtang loved feeding animals and was delighted to have two more geese. "Come in quickly."

Wu Hong added chili peppers and goose.

Li Yingtang pulled a large bucket of soybean oil from the kitchen cabinet: "This is for you."

"I'm not here to exchange your oil," Wu Hong waved her hand in refusal.

Li Yingtang: "Ah-Xian's company gave us this amount of oil. We have two large barrels of it at home, and we can't finish it."

Besides, a relationship is more stable when gifts are exchanged.
Wu Hong: "I envy those who have a secure job, who never lack rice, flour, or cooking oil."

"No need to be envious, the tenth prince will be like that in the future." Li Yingtang poured tea for Wu Hong.

Wu Hong smiled: "Oh, thanks to you, our family has produced a scholar." She held up her teacup and said: "I have something to tell you, Liu Lirong is dying."

"It's not working? What illness could be so urgent?"

Wu Hong: "It's not an illness. A couple of days ago, Qian Gang's mother hit him on the head. He was dizzy at the time, but Qian Gang's mother didn't take it seriously. When she came back from doing farm work, she found him motionless and took him to Dr. Peng. You know Dr. Peng, he only treats colds and fevers; he sends people to the city for everything. After their family went to the city and went through all that trouble, they came back saying that the doctors there told them they couldn't treat him. Everyone told him to find Dr. Qin, but he said he couldn't find him. The hospital staff said Dr. Qin had gone to another city."

Li Yingtang spat out, "Nonsense! Ah Xian and I ran into him on the street a couple of days ago." She recounted the situation.

Wu Hong sighed, "Isn't this harmful?"

"The Qian family should go to jail, and the wicked mother-in-law should be beheaded in the market," Li Yingtang commented.

Even if the daughter-in-law is at fault, she shouldn't be hit, right?
What is the difference between them and slave owners in the old society?
Wu Hong took a sip of tea: "What jail time? And certainly not beheading. Liu Lirong can't have children; that alone is enough to make the Liu family lose face. If anyone's to blame, it's her own family. They don't even care about their own daughter; how can they expect others to take care of her?"

Li Yingtang agreed.

My wife's family is strong-willed, so even after the divorce, she can live a good life.

Cheng Su returned home dejectedly with her child after her divorce. The village not only built a house for the mother and child but also allocated them land.

After finishing her water, Wu Hong said goodbye, "I'm going back now, you go ahead and do your thing."

"Take care." Li Yingtang watched the other person walk away, then locked the door and went to work.

Stepping into the cabinet store, I saw an old acquaintance.

Feng Wenshu and Meng Qin stood together, listening attentively as Meng Qin introduced the materials used in the cabinet.

Thinking about the grudges between the two, she decided to leave and avoid the situation.

Zhao Xue greeted the boss with a "Hello, boss."

Feng Wenshu looked over, his eyes immediately darkening: "Boss? What kind of boss are you?"

Unable to hide any longer, Li Yingtang calmly replied, "What's it to you?"
