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

Qin Zhonghui was preparing vegetables for the next day’s buns. He sighed and said, ”People will find out eventually. The two villages aren’t that far apart. But since you’re already divorced, try not to dwell on it so much. Mom and Dad are old-fashioned. They’ll be angry for a while, but they’ll get over it.”

Qin Na silently came over to help with the vegetables.

Hearing this, Qin Jiao shook her head.

’Some women compromise in their marriages for their children, or to keep their parents from losing face. But what happens in the end?’

’Either they endure a lifetime of suffering in silence, or it ends in tragedy.’

’You can’t control everything else, but you have to take control of your own life.’

The biggest regret of Qin Jiao’s past life was marrying Shen Yi because she thought she had no other choice.

If not for that ridiculous marriage, her life might not have been so hopeless, nor would her family have met with such a bad end.

In this life, she would not make the same mistake.

Qin Jiao put down her schoolbag and came over to help. ”Grandma and Grandpa have their own way of thinking,” she said. ”We can respect that, but we don’t have to follow it completely. They think that since Xiao Shi and I are girls, we don’t need an education and should just marry young. But if we study, we’ll have a chance to get good jobs and earn more money. Wouldn’t it be better to use that to take care of Mom and Dad? Grandma and Grandpa’s ideas are just too outdated. They don’t fit the times anymore.”

”Exactly. Xiao Na, don’t overthink things. Just focus on living a good life from now on. If you meet someone suitable in the future, then you can get married. If not, you can just live with us.”

Su Yun had always been a generous person; otherwise, she would never have agreed to give the bulk of their money to her parents-in-law.

But her parents-in-law would just turn around and give the money to the third son and his wife. This happened time and time again.

To top it all off, the third son and his wife even bullied Xiao Shi and her sister.

Even a saint has their limits. You can’t just keep bullying someone, even if they’re good-natured.

That’s why Su Yun finally erupted.

There were two rooms upstairs, one large and one small. They cleared out the smaller one for Qin Na to live in, while the sisters, Qin Jiao and Xiao Shi, took the larger one.

Besides, Qin Na didn’t have many belongings, so there was enough space for everything.

Qin Na was extremely grateful to her brother and sister-in-law. She eagerly took on chores every day, and when Su Yun went to clean the neighboring unit, she would go along to help.

She also borrowed money from her brother and enrolled in a night school accounting class. She planned to learn a practical skill so she could find work as a cashier or bookkeeper in the future.

「Time flew by, and soon it was time for Qin Jiao’s second monthly exam.」

After a chaotic day, Qin Jiao was helping the teacher hand out test papers. As she passed Lin Nian’s desk, Lin Nian flashed a sweet smile. ”Qin Jiao, think you can break into the top one hundred this time?”

Last time, Qin Jiao had placed 101st, so breaking into the top one hundred this time was practically a given. Lin Nian was only asking because she thought she had done well herself and wanted to needle Qin Jiao.

Qin Jiao gave a faint smile. ”You seem pretty confident this time.”

Lin Nian offered a modest smile. ”Top fifty should be no problem.”

”Oh. Same here, more or less.”

”Yeah, right.”

Lin Nian watched Qin Jiao walk away and snorted. Just then, Chen Feng walked in from outside. The boy had clear, bright eyes. As he brushed past Qin Jiao, someone suddenly bumped into him, causing him to slam right into her.

Qin Jiao was still holding a large stack of test papers. She lost her grip, and they went flying everywhere. At the same time, she was about to crash into a desk.

Qin Jiao braced for the pain, but she didn’t hit the hard surface of a desk. Instead, she hit something warm... She looked up, a little dazed, at the person in front of her. After steadying her, he calmly let go.

Shen Yi turned and threw a punch right at Chen Feng’s face.
