In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!

Chapter 317: Chapter 316: Who is Lying?_1

Perhaps it was because Qin Yi suddenly spoke up, with a bit of a loud voice, that a sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came from the room at the end of the corridor.

This immediately caught the attention of the three people, who turned their heads in unison.

That is...

Su Pan’er was slightly stunned, instinctively wanting to go in, but was stopped by Qin Xiao.

"Where else could those jade items be pawned? Naturally, it would be at the biggest pawnshops in the county city! You all go home first, if I remember anything else, I’ll let you know. I have to get ready to open the shop right away, if I’m late, when the boss arrives, I’ll be in trouble."

Qin Xiao looked impatient.

"But, Brother..."

Qin Yi wanted to speak again, but was stopped by Su Pan’er: "Qin Yi, since your big brother is busy with important matters, we should go first. We can bother him another day when he’s free." Secretly, she gently tugged at Qin Yi’s sleeves.

"All right."

Qin Yi immediately changed his tune: "Brother, we’ll be leaving first."

"Mmm, Third Brother, Third brother’s wife, I’m really sorry that I’m not able to entertain you all today. Take care."

Qin Xiao hurriedly got up to see Qin Yi and Su Pan’er out of the shop, then swiftly turned back.

He carefully closed the door and rushed into the room. A woman, dressed only in a Belly Cover, was leaning on the bed, looking at him with a smiling, yet unsmiling gaze.

"What are you doing, what are you doing? Quickly put on your clothes. What would people think if they saw this?"

As Qin Xiao spoke, he hurriedly picked up scattered clothes on the ground and stuffed them into the woman’s hands.

The woman slowly got up, chuckling lightly.

"So those two were your third brother and his wife? Your brother’s wife is quite something. Who doesn’t know about the famed ’Miracle Healer Su’ these days!"

Qin Xiao got a huge fright and promptly tried to reason with her.

"What? What devious idea are you working on now? My dear sweet, you must not provoke her! She is incredibly strong! Haven’t you heard? She was able to lift a bull when she was just ten years old! A person of your size, she can probably carry you away with no effort."

"Is she really that powerful? Fine, alright!"

The woman slowly put on her clothes, showing no signs of avoiding the subject.

"Hey, can’t you hurry up a bit?"

Qin Xiao, who was tidying up the room, repeatedly urged her: "You’re not ignorant of my situation with my boss, who might come over at any time. If he saw that the shop isn’t open this late, my life would become a nightmare!"

"Okay okay, I’ll listen to you."

The woman orally conceded readily, but her actions did not speed up at all: "I’m asking you, have you told your old lady about us yet? I’m telling you, if you keep dodging, my belly is going to get bigger by the day. When people ask."

"Don’t worry, baby. In a few days when I get back, I’ll tell her everything, and then I’ll marry you with a big red bridal sedan and make you my ordinary wife. Hehe..."

As Qin Xiao spoke, he leaned over for another kiss.

A trace of triumph appeared in the woman’s eyes as she pushed Qin Xiao away.

"That’s more like it, you said it’s getting late, right? Uh...be gentle!"

Of course, Qin Yi and Su Pan’er, who had already left, had no knowledge of what Qin Xiao was up to.

After leading the horse out onto the street, Qin Yi immediately asked with bewilderment: "Pan’er, why did you want me to leave earlier? I didn’t ask him the questions I intended to."

"Ask what? Didn’t you realize he didn’t want to say anything?"

Su Pan’er glanced back: "How many of the things your second brother said just now do you think were true?"

Qin Yi looked at her and said nothing.

"He said the jade hairpin was pawned, the pawn ticket was lost, and it was pawned at the biggest pawnshops. Didn’t Lui Muyi tell us last time that the largest three pawnshops in Yongze County are all owned by Lui family?"

"You mean we should find Uncle Lui?"

Qin Yi thought for a moment and eventually shook his head: "Is it appropriate to bother him about such a small matter? He’s been busy dealing with Young Master Lui’s issue lately, it wouldn’t be right for us to interrupt..."

"Who said we must go find him? Overlord Tiger has so many men, we just need to find one or two!"

Su Pan’er rolled her eyes at him and led the horse away.

Yes indeed! How did he get stuck at this dead-end? Qin Yi unconsciously shook his head and hurried to catch up.

The two quickly arrived at the Lui character pawnshop near the county government office and as soon as they entered, they saw Naughty Dog enjoying a drink while sitting cross-legged in a side compartment.

Su Pan’er quickly greeted him.

Hearing Su Pan’er call him, Naughty Dog got up quickly, pulling out a grin.

"Yo! If it isn’t Doctor Su, you... you...please, come in, sit down..."

As he greeted them, he immediately wiped the bench with his sleeve before inviting Su Pan’er and her companion to sit down.

Su Pan’er and Qin Yi took their seats immediately.

"Naughty Dog, I am here today to ask for your help."

Su Pan’er got straight to the point.

She took out a silver banknote from her bosom and placed it on the table in front of Naughty Dog: "Here’s the thing, about half a year ago, someone pawned a jade hairpin here. It was pawned under the condition that it couldn’t be redeemed, but we want to redeem it now. Do you think you can help?"

"Doctor Su, what are you doing? Please take back the money. I, Naughty Dog, dare not accept it. If I really accept it and the young master comes back, won’t he kill me?"

Naughty Dog pushed the silver banknote back hurriedly: "Rest assured, if this jade hairpin is still in our pawnshop, we will surely bring it out for you!"

He said with an oath.

"This money is for brothers to have tea. As for the cost of redeeming the jade hairpin, we will discuss that separately."

Su Pan’er pushed the silver banknote back into his hand: "Just ask the brothers to be careful, make sure not to overlook anything."

"Okay, Doctor Su! Please wait a moment!"

Only then did Naughty Dog keep the money. After finding out the exact pawn date, he immediately called out the pawnshop owner and said a few words.

The pawnshop owner immediately went out to take care of business.

Naughty Dog started a casual conversation with Su Pan’er and her companion.

By the time the second round of tea was served in front of Su Pan’er, the owner finally came back to report.

"Sir Scholar Qin, according to the date you mentioned, we have sorted out all the items pawned that day in our pawnshops across the county city. There were indeed two jade hairpins pawned that day, but the styles and sizes don’t match. Plus, we’ve also checked the records for a few days before and after, and still couldn’t find the same item. Are you sure you didn’t misremember the date?"

"It was that day, how could I possibly misremember..."

Qin Yi suddenly paused, coughing twice: "Perhaps I have indeed remembered it wrong. Why don’t we go back and ask again? We can ask for the exact date."

"Yes, that sounds good, it was a hassle to keep you and Naughty Dog busy today."

Su Pan’er got up to leave.

Naughty Dog and the pawnshop owner saw the two off until they left the store: "If Doctor Su has any more requests, please don’t hesitate to inform me."

"Definitely, definitely."

The two then departed.

Qin Yi knitted his eyebrows, looking at Su Pan’er beside him: "How do you see this situation?"

Su Pan’er just laughed, "This is like lice on a bald head, it’s too obvious. It’s clear that someone is lying! Who do you think it could be?"
