Chapter 155 - 157: Competent_1
As Han Ting left, Li Qiao also prepared to go home, with Du Xinxin seeing her out.
It wasn’t long before Han Ting and the team leader returned, releasing Li Jinhua.
After a round of criticism and education, they let her go, but the affair of Li Jinhua being caught red-handed stealing Du Xinxin’s notification letter spread like wildfire through the village overnight.
The next day, the news reached Tulou Village.
Although Li Jianguo’s family was poor, they had a clean reputation and couldn’t bear being the subject of gossip among villagers. Despite his parents’ objections, he forcefully drove Li Jinhua away and went to her family to demand the annulment of their marriage and the return of the bride price.
Li Shengcai and Dong Lamei refused, citing the damage to their reputation caused by Li Jinhua marrying into their family, and with no recourse left, he turned to Qin Jin for help.
Qin Jin patted Li Jianguo on the shoulder, "Brother! It’s not easy to get money from her family. I even had to forcibly take back my bride price with the help of others. In the past, I’d have gathered a few brothers to help you take it by force, but not anymore. My wife is a top scholar; I need to do legitimate business."
Li Jianguo rubbed his hair in frustration, "That woman’s family is looking down on us because we’re poor; they’re deliberately bullying us! Can’t you help me get rich? As long as it’s not stealing or robbing, I can endure any hardship. With money, I’m going to trample them."
Qin Jin readily agreed, "No problem! This Friday, get an introduction letter to the provincial city from the brigade, and come find me with a couple of changes of clothes."
Li Jianguo agreed.
He needed to make money, make a lot of money, and find a wife who could live a peaceful life with him.
