They looked into each other's eyes, each with his own thoughts.
Shi Fangfang looked at Chen Shengqing holding Yang Qiujin's hand. The two seemed so close and intimate. It was totally unlike what people said, that Chen Shengqing disliked Yang Qiujin and wanted to divorce her.
Moreover, the newly bought watch on Yang Qiujin's wrist was so dazzling.
Shi Fangfang was in turmoil. She had looked down on Chen Shengqing back then. She felt that although he appeared to be gentle and easy to get along with, he was actually very cold to her and had no sense of being her childhood sweetheart and fiancé.
She could never see through this man and felt that he was unpredictable and unsuitable to be a husband.
The humiliation she had suffered since childhood made her unwilling to marry an ordinary person and live a hard life every day. She wanted to marry a powerful person, to live a good life where she could eat meat and rice every day and not be looked down upon as a widow. So she tried every means to plot against Chen Shengqing, Yang Qiujin and Ji Mingchen at the same time, and finally married Ji Mingchen as she wished.
Her life after marriage was indeed much better than when she was in her parents' home. Outsiders said that she was lucky to marry into the home of the commune secretary, but who knew what kind of life she lived inside?
At that time, she teamed up with the widow Yang Chenghua to drug Yang Qiujin, and imitated Yang Qiujin's handwriting. She met Ji Mingchen at the county guesthouse, coaxed him to drink the water that was also drugged, and had sex with him.
Afterwards, Ji Mingchen was furious, but he could not stand her crying. In addition, Yang Qiujin and Chen Shengqing were already married, and she risked her dignity to expose her relationship with Ji Mingchen in the commune. Secretary Ji was a fair and strict person. No matter how much he disliked her, he still forced Ji Mingchen to marry her for the sake of the Ji family's reputation.
Over the years, she has always played the role of a gentle, virtuous, well-mannered wife and a good daughter-in-law. No matter how her mother-in-law makes things difficult for her or what outsiders say about her, she just does her job well.
Ji Mingchen was also cold to her at first, but gradually became more friendly to her. But there was always a gap between the two of them. Ji Mingchen was still brooding over her plot to have him and Yang Qiujin together, and over the years he was never as intimate with her as a normal couple.
She had complained, hated, and cried countless times in secret, but the only thing she never regretted was not marrying Chen Shengqing.
Now, seeing the man who almost belonged to her being so generous and intimate with another woman, and Ji Mingchen had never thought of buying her such a brand new watch, she felt unprecedented jealousy and regret in her heart.
Ji Mingchen bore a grudge against her and mailed most of his monthly allowance to his mother. If she wanted to use money, she had to kowtow and endure many difficulties and insults, begging for some money from her mother-in-law like a beggar.
She lived like that for three whole years. She cried, made a fuss, and quarreled, but nothing could change Ji Mingchen's behavior. Later, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she asked her father-in-law for help. He arranged a job for her as the women's director in the commune, earning her more than 20 yuan a month.
After deducting the daily expenses of her and her two children, she saved the little money left for emergencies. She was reluctant to buy expensive items like watches.
Thinking back to when she was planning to marry Ji Mingchen, the Ji family was not happy about it and never thought of buying her any special favors. All the betrothal gifts were of the lowest standard and all the betrothal money was taken away by her as a widow.
She has been married to the Ji family for seven years. She looks glamorous on the surface, but in fact she is a pauper!
If she had not plotted against Yang Qiujin at the beginning, it would be her who is standing next to Chen Shengqing now, and it would also be her who is wearing the watch.
Shi Fangfang looked at the tall and handsome man, and somehow her eyes started to turn red.
She was looking at Chen Shengqing, and Ji Mingchen was also looking at Yang Qiujin.
Yang Qiujin was wearing a dark blue slanting-collared long dress with patches, and her hair was done in her favorite braid as a girl, which made her figure look exquisite, like a graceful wild lily. She attracted people's attention without saying a word.
As a member of a medical family, Ji Mingchen has lived a life of luxury since he was a child. There are many girls around him who have feelings for him and always revolve around him.
He was used to seeing the same old gentle, virtuous and generous women, so when a hot and spicy girl like Yang Qiujin suddenly appeared, it was hard not to be moved by her.
Unfortunately, before the two of them could have any chance to express their love, they were plotted against by Shi Fangfang. Over the years, no matter how affectionate Shi Fangfang acted, Ji Mingchen was always thinking about Yang Qiujin.
But Yang Qiujin was already married and had children, so no matter how much he felt for her, he had to keep it deep in his heart and not show it on his face. But every time he heard Yang Qiujin's name, he couldn't help himself.
Chen Shengqing turned a blind eye to Shi Fangfang's tearful eyes. Facing Ji Mingchen's gentle and affectionate gaze towards Yang Qiujin, he quietly pulled Yang Qiujin behind him and blocked Ji Mingchen's sight with his tall body. His dark eyes flashed with an incomparable sharp light, "Military Doctor Ji, what a coincidence."
Ji Mingchen's name was not called, and it was obvious that he was unhappy.
Ji Mingchen saw his actions and realized that he had overstepped his authority. He looked away awkwardly and said uncomfortably, "What a coincidence. You are buying things here. Are you planning to go to the border?"
"Yes." Chen Shengqing nodded, and glanced at Shi Fangfang, her mother and her son behind him, "You guys are here to buy things too. Are you planning to take them with you to join the army?"
Ji Mingchen also wanted to take Shi Fangfang and her son to join the army? Yang Qiujin was a little surprised.
Seeing Chen Shengqing standing in front of her like a tree stake, she impatiently poked her head out from behind him and looked at Ji Mingchen and Shi Fangfang with curiosity.
She was framed by Shi Fangfang back then. As time went by, she no longer hated Shi Fangfang as much as before. On the contrary, when she learned that Ji Mingchen and Shi Fangfang were married not long ago, she decided to join the army like Chen Shengqing, and she even felt some sympathy for her.
Forced to marry someone who doesn't like her, no matter how calm and gentle she appears to be, and how harmonious her relationship with her husband is, only Shi Fangfang knows what kind of life she lives behind closed doors.
Yang Qiujin knew in her heart that Shi Fangfang's life was not much better than hers just by seeing that Ji Mingchen had not allowed Shi Fangfang to join the army for so many years.
Now Ji Mingchen is going to take Shi Fangfang and her son to join the army. Yang Qiujin is curious but also feels a little schadenfreude. As the saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet. If Shi Fangfang follows Ji Mingchen to join the army, who knows how much trouble will arise.
"Qiu Jin, when are you and Sheng Qing leaving?" Yang Qiu Jin poked her head out, and Ji Mingchen felt a little excited.
When he was framed, he immediately found Yang Qiujin to confess and begged her to give him a chance.
But she told him indifferently that she and Chen Shengqing had slept together, and said lightly: "You and I have never been together, why bother to apologize to me, from now on we will go our separate ways and not interfere with each other."
He couldn't believe that she had no feelings for him, and asked her again and again why she refused to listen to his explanation and why she didn't give him a chance.
She was silent for a long time, then said something that crushed him: "I will not have anything to do with any man that Shi Fangfang has used. I find them dirty."
At that moment, his shock, pain, and disappointment all turned into despair.
He returned home in despair. Facing Shi Fangfang's helpless tears and the disappointed and blaming eyes of his parents and relatives, he finally agreed to their request and married Shi Fangfang.
Over the years, he had done what Yang Qiujin had said at the beginning, that they should not interfere with each other. However, when he saw her pretty appearance which was no different from seven years ago, his heart could not help but be moved.
Yang Qiujin knew what Ji Mingchen meant and said directly, "We will leave tomorrow, but we will not take your car. You are going to take Shi Fangfang and her two children to join the army. By then, we will have to carry a lot of luggage. Your car cannot accommodate so many people, so our family will take the train. Thank you for your kindness."
After she finished speaking, without even looking at Ji Mingchen and Shi Fangfang's expressions, she held Chen Shengqing with her left hand and Chen Tianyou with her right hand and walked straight to the cosmetics counter. She pointed to the pile of skin care products on the wooden cabinet and said to the salesperson, "Comrade, please help me get two bottles of skin care products such as Vanishing Cream, Chunjuan Cream, Baby Face, Wan Zi Qian Hong Moisturizing Product, and Clam Oil."
Chen Shengqing raised his eyebrows. When they passed by here just now, he asked her to buy some skin care products, but she was reluctant to spend the money. Why did she change her mind now?
Yang Qiujin saw his eyes and knew what he was thinking. While taking out the money, she whispered, "I just realized a problem. I have been married to you for so many years, and I have been busy at home. I have never bought skin care products or taken good care of myself. You have been in the frontier for so many years. Although you are a lot darker, you are still whiter than me. Ji Mingchen and Shi Fangfang are also fair. I can't let you compare me to me."
It turned out that Chen Shengqing was stimulated by Shi Fangfang, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "Okay, you should buy a few more sets of skin care products. There are strong winds and sand at the border, and the sun is hot. You have to apply it every day after you go there, so that your face will not be chapped."
After buying everything they needed, the family of three, carrying bags of various sizes, headed straight to Yang Qiuyue's printing factory.
"Sister, you're here." When Yang Qiuyue heard the guard say her sister was here, she immediately asked for leave from the workshop director and ran to the factory gate.
Seeing Chen Shengqing and Chen Tianyou, she first looked at Chen Shengqing carefully, and when she saw him nodding and greeting her politely, she smiled and reached out to touch Chen Tianyou's head, "Brother-in-law, Youyou, you are here too."
"Your brother-in-law and I are leaving tomorrow. Time is tight, so we'll go directly to your in-laws' house." Yang Qiujin took Yang Qiuyue and walked towards the Ke family.
The Ke family lived not far from the printing factory. The Ke family lived in the workshop of the meat processing factory, and it took less than half an hour to get there.
Yang Qiuyue hesitated along the way, "Sister, why don't you go back with your brother-in-law. Anyway, I broke up with Ke Jian. Yesterday, I applied for a single dormitory in our factory and moved in with several female workers for a night. If he doesn't want to leave, then he doesn't have to leave. Anyway, it's his parents who are anxious to have a grandson, and I'm not in a hurry. I will delay until he leaves!"
"That won't do." Yang Qiujin refused resolutely: "Your brother-in-law and I are here, and we will help you deal with this matter today no matter what you say."
