92 Chapter 92: Because She’s My Wife
When the Uncle selling buns saw this, he smiled at Qin Xiaoyao and asked, “You’re even selling your straw sandals at a lower price. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?”
“Oh, my husband also came to town. After I’m done here, I have to go pick him up.”
Qin Xiaoyao turned around and saw the piping hot steamer in front of Uncle. She immediately felt hungry.
She thought of her attractive husband, who had come out together with her, and guessed that he must be hungry now.
!!
Qin Xiaoyao made up her mind and bought six meat buns and six vegetarian buns.
Three of the meat buns would be given to her attractive husband, and she would eat three vegetarian buns.
She would bring back the remaining three meat buns and three vegetarian buns for her mother-in-law and the two children.
They would be having lunch, so the buns were just enough to let the three of them satisfy their cravings.
“Hah! No wonder! Your husband is a blessed man!” Uncle said with a smile.
After being Qin Xiaoyao’s ‘neighbor’ for so long, he already knew about her family’s situation.
He knew that her husband had injured his leg and would need more than half a year to recover fully.
He honestly admired Qin Xiaoyao’s attitude of striving for self-improvement and hard work.
After Uncle returned home, he used Qin Xiaoyao as an example so his daughter-in-law could learn from her.
“Hehe! I think it’s my fortune to be able to marry him!” Qin Xiaoyao replied with a smile.
Next, she made payment.
When Uncle received the money, he straightaway took one copper coin less and said with a smile, “You’re already my regular customer. That’s enough!”
“Thank you, Uncle!” Qin Xiaoyao was delighted and quickly thanked him.
Then, she took two bags of buns and placed them into the basket.
After that, she bid farewell to the bun seller and left.
After leaving the market on South Street, Qin Xiaoyao walked quickly and arrived at Cirrus Loft Bookstore in no time.
In the end, just as she reached the entrance of the bookstore, she heard a commotion from inside.
“I didn’t expect it! So it’s really our great genius scholar Song!”
“Haha! Scholar Song is a talented literary scholar with an outstanding demeanor. How did he become a cripple now? Haha…”
“Hahahaha! He’s already crippled to such an extent. Can he still be cured?”
The noise was coming from four students dressed in the uniform of Cirrus Loft Academy. They surrounded Song Que, and their mocking laughter was as annoying as the buzzing of bees.
When Qin Xiaoyao saw her attractive husband’s icy cold face and that he was surrounded by a few annoying ‘bees’, anger swelled up in her heart.
Then, without another word, she barged into the bookstore.
Then, she unleashed her move.
“Ah… where did this crazy woman come from!”
“You shrew! What are you doing?”
Qin Xiaoyao’s expression was merciless as she casually caught two ‘bees’.
She twisted their wrists and made the two of them collide with each other. Then, they fell to the ground.
She ignored the two jerks’ wailing and said icily, “Hmph! I am taking care of the male shrews!”
Seeing this, the other two scholars standing inside initially wanted to scold Qin Xiaoyao and uphold justice for their companions.
However, when they saw Qin Xiaoyao’s merciless gaze looking in their direction, they got cold feet.
In fact, they even took a step back in fear.
“Who… who are you? Why are you so nosy?” A youngster emboldened himself and asked Qin Xiaoyao.
When he asked this, he didn’t dare to step forward at all.
Where did such a fierce woman come from? She didn’t look like someone who could be trifled with.
Qin Xiaoyao glowered fiercely at him.
She then took a side glance at Song Que.
Seeing that Song Que was not looking at her, she turned back to look at the young man talking to her.
“What do you care who I am! I just can’t stand seeing you guys bully people!”
Then, she glanced at the young man’s scholar robe.
“Hmph! It’s said that the scholars of Cirrus Loft Academy read the books of Sages and have noble characters. I didn’t expect the Academy to have educated scum like you! Today, I’ve finally seen it for myself.”
“You…” The young man’s face turned red with anger.
“Madam Qin…” At this moment, Mr. Wang was brought over by the shop assistant, and he quickly stopped the fighting.
He didn’t expect something to happen in the store after leaving for only a short while.
He already knew what had happened. Mr. Song had been besieged by his former classmates in his store, and they had even taunted him ceaselessly.
And this scene happened to be discovered by Mr. Song’s wife.
Thereafter, two of the scholars were taught a lesson by Madam Qin.
Moreover, judging by the situation, this matter was not over yet.
“Mr. Wang.” Qin Xiaoyao frowned slightly. However, she still cupped her hands in greeting at Mr. Wang.
After all, this person was her husband’s employer, so she still had to extend him some courtesy.
...
When the rest of the people saw Mr. Wang, they also cupped their hands in respect at him, including Song Que.
He was not simply the shop owner of Cirrus Loft Bookstore but also an old scholar in their Mountain Spring Town who had taught at Cirrus Loft Academy.
Mr. Wang returned everyone’s greetings.
Then, he looked at Qin Xiaoyao.
“Madam Qin, please calm down,” he said.
“I already know the root cause of this matter. Can you allow me to be the mediator to help mediate and resolve this matter?” After he finished speaking, he even cupped his hands at Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao turned around and glanced at the young man who had just spoken to her. The young man’s face was filled with fear again.
“Since Mr. Wang is willing to step in, then I’ll have to trouble you.” With that, Qin Xiaoyao returned Mr. Wang the courtesy.
Only then did Mr. Wang break into a happy smile.
“Thank you very much, Madam Qin.” Then, he bowed to Qin Xiaoyao.
After that, he turned to look at the four scholars.
...
“I already know what happened in the bookstore just now.”
“As students of Cirrus Loft Academy, you didn’t greet your former classmate with words of concern when you met him. Instead, you gloated and taunted him. This is really unseemly behavior!”
As soon as these words came out, the four scholars all lowered their heads.
“Now, Madam Qin has allowed me to help mediate and solve this matter. Do you have any objections?” Mr. Wang asked again.
“No… no objections,” one of the scholars replied.
Only then did Mr. Wang’s expression become less stern.
“That’s good.”
“Then I’m asking all of you to apologize to Mr. Song and Madam Qin, and then this matter will be over.”
As soon as he said this, the two scholars who had just been taught a lesson by Qin Xiaoyao immediately raised their heads.
However, when they saw Qin Xiaoyao looking at them with a menacing gaze, they quickly lowered their heads.
Immediately after that, one guy still felt resentful and looked up at Mr. Wang.
“I can apologize to Song Que, but why do I have to apologize to her?”
The scholar ignored Mr. Wang’s furrowed brows and continued, “This woman injured Brother Chengyu and me. She should be the one apologizing to us and paying for our medical expenses!”
His family’s situation was not as well-off as the others, and he did not have the money to pay for his injuries.
The shrew had struck him too hard just now, and his wrist was still in great pain. He didn’t know if it would jeopardize his writing.
Before Mr. Wang could say anything, Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes narrowed.
Very good. This was the first time she had met someone who dared to blackmail her.
Just as she was about to say something, she heard Song Que’s voice.
“Because she’s my wife.”
Then, Qin Xiaoyao got a complete shock.
The instant she was shocked, the anger in her heart was swallowed by the sudden pleasant surprise.
Qin Xiaoyao wasn’t the only one who was shocked. Everyone else was shocked as well.
Mr. Wang was the first to regain his senses. He looked at Song Que with admiration.
As for the four scholars, they all looked at Song Que with strange expressions, their faces filled with sympathy and gloating.
