Back to the 1980s: Becoming the Villain's Lucky Wife

Chapter 400: Chapter 400: Do You Even Have a Brain?

"Oh, your big brother isn’t off work yet. What’s up?"

"Third Brother brought Xiao Tao to my house. Was it Big Brother who told him our address?"

Sun Li was a sharp woman and understood the moment she heard Qin Zhonghui. "Did Third Brother go to your place to cause trouble again? Alright, you just wait. When your big brother gets home, I’ll give him a good talking-to! If he’s really the one who told them, I won’t let him get away with it!"

Hearing his sister-in-law’s furious voice, Qin Zhonghui felt slightly relieved and hung up the phone.

He still felt guilty toward his daughter. When he looked up, he saw that she had already left the room, apparently to clean up the mess in the other one.

Qin Zhonghui walked to the door and knocked. Qin Jiao answered from inside, "Dad, I’m cleaning the room. You can come in."

’That kid, Qin Tao, is completely spoiled rotten,’ Qin Jiao thought. ’Spoiled beyond belief. I feel like I went too easy on him earlier.’

Food was strewn all over the floor and the kang bed. He had taken a single bite out of some things before deciding he didn’t like them and tossing them aside. What was even more infuriating, he had even spilled water all over the kang bed.

Qin Jiao sighed as she cleaned. "If he’d trashed my room, I wouldn’t be this mad. But this is Shen Yi’s room. Setting everything else aside, with all this water on the kang bed, the quilt is soaked. How is anyone supposed to sleep tonight?"

Qin Zhonghui was filled with self-reproach.

Qin Jiao knew her father was a bit of a pushover. ’Even if he’s learned to say no now, it’s nowhere near enough,’ she thought. ’Those relatives from back home have absolutely no shame.’

Qin Zhonghui clenched his fists. "I’ll find Third Brother tomorrow and make him pay for this!"

Qin Jiao said, "And where would you find him? He must have already run back to our hometown overnight. They only came this time to mooch a good meal, counting on you not to let your own brother starve. But when I demanded he pay for the damages, I must have scared him too badly to stay. If Eldest Uncle was the one who gave him our address, then you need to have a serious talk with him. Ask him if he even wants us to be relatives anymore."

"Your eldest uncle isn’t off work yet, but I spoke with your eldest aunt."

Qin Jiao thought for a moment and nodded. ’Eldest Aunt is a level-headed person; she’ll know how to handle this.’

’As for Third Uncle? Heh. He won’t dare to come back anytime soon. But I should still get a big dog!’

Qin Bogang had been worried sick for some time, but these past few days, his troubles had finally been resolved. With his wife and daughter back home, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He even had a drink with his coworkers and didn’t get home until after nine o’clock.

But the moment he walked in the door, he saw his wife, Sun Li, sitting there with a long face. He asked in confusion, "Xiao Li, what’s wrong? Did Xiao Lan act up?"

"My daughter has always been sensible. She’s never given me a moment’s trouble. You, on the other hand... you’re making me wonder if I can even go on living with you."

This was a serious statement, especially since the couple had just reconciled.

Qin Bogang said, "Xiao Li, why would you say that? What did I do now?"

"Let me ask you: did you give Zhong Hui’s address to Third Brother and tell him to take his kid to North City to find them?"

The expression on Qin Bogang’s face froze for a moment. Then, he said with exasperation, "What’s the big deal? We’re blood brothers, not enemies. Are you really going to divorce me over something like this? Sun Li, is it that you don’t want a peaceful life and are just looking for an excuse to start a fight?"

Sun Li was so furious that she grabbed a nearby bowl and smashed it on the floor!

"Qin Bogang, have you lost your mind? Have you forgotten all the trouble Third Brother has caused Zhong Hui’s family? Forget everything else, just look at what happened recently! If Xiao Jiao hadn’t gotten married, Third Brother’s bride-swapping scheme would have fallen on her! Because of that alone, it’s perfectly reasonable for Zhong Hui and his family to want nothing to do with Third Brother ever again!"
