Chapter 10 I didn't do anything to let her down
Jiang Zhixun heard everything on the phone clearly.
The application to transfer back to Beijing was my mother's idea alone.
He felt pretty good after three years in the Northwest.
He would go home to visit his family every year afterwards.
As for Shen Qingqing, the choice is hers.
She can choose to divorce at any time, and he will never stop her.
On the other end of the phone, the mother talked a lot, reminding Shen Qingqing in her words to support his career.
Don't get into trouble, don't cause him any trouble...
He also mentioned things from the past, the friendship between the Jiang and Chen families, and how the Jiang family took care of Shen Qingqing after she came to the family.
Finally, I told Shen Qingqing that this marriage had an unhappy start, and if she wanted a good outcome, she would have to put in some effort.
Tell her not to be stubborn anymore, the current difficulties are only temporary and everything will be fine once she returns to Beijing.
Shen Qingqing had almost no chance to speak.
Jiang Zhixun saw her standing there in a daze, and he could hardly hold the receiver in his hand.
It was as if he had suffered a huge blow, or as if his body had not yet recovered. He almost didn't have the strength to stand.
Without further hesitation, he stretched out his long arm and took the receiver.
"She can do whatever she wants, don't tell her that."
Jiang's mother talked until her mouth was dry, but Shen Qingqing didn't say a word, and her son didn't appreciate it.
"I am doing this for your own good. If people in the northwest knew what happened when you two got married, wouldn't you be laughed at to death?"
Jiang Zhixun said in a calm tone, "It wasn't stolen or robbed, what's so funny about it?"
Jiang's mother choked.
"Anyway, you should just get along well and have a child as soon as possible. Once you have a child, it will be inappropriate for you to act like you did before."
Jiang Zhixun glanced at Shen Qingqing.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he saw a flash of tears.
Without saying anything more, he hung up the phone.
"Go back to the guesthouse and rest for two days."
Shen Qingqing looked up at him, without any aggrieved feeling or pretending to be distant, she had no emotions at all.
Meeting her empty eyes, Jiang Zhixun's heart suddenly tightened.
He pursed his lips tightly, and for some reason he couldn't bring himself to say the words "send her back to Beijing".
It was also at this time that Jiang Zhixun suddenly understood why Shen Qingqing chose to move out of the compound and live alone.
He was not at home, so she had to bear all the pressure alone.
The more he thought about it, the more his brows furrowed.
The irritability was almost unbearable.
Shen Qingqing asked expressionlessly: "When will you apply to return to Beijing City, and how long will I have to cooperate with you?"
Jiang Zhixun knew that she took her mother's words to heart.
He clenched and unclenched the hands at his sides, without making his intentions clear.
He also didn't mention sending Shen Qingqing to the train station.
The man's expression was calm, and he returned to the cold and distant look he had when they first met.
"I will go back to Beijing with you during the New Year, and I will take care of the elders."
"Okay, then let's wait until the New Year."
It’s just a month, she can wait!
After saying that, Shen Qingqing left the hospital first.
Jiang Zhixun followed behind. The distance between them was too far. They were more like strangers than husband and wife.
When he arrived at the guesthouse, Jiang Zhixun placed the medicine in a conspicuous place.
He went to get a pot of hot water and heated up the steamed buns in the lunch box, which he also placed in a conspicuous place.
The two of them always feel uncomfortable being in the same room.
Without waiting for Shen Qingqing to say anything, Jiang Zhixun left his things and walked out.
The door closed with a slight sound.
Then the footsteps became farther and farther away, without stopping, and soon they could no longer be heard.
Shen Qingqing sat alone on the edge of the bed, staring at the steam rising from the cup, lost in thought.
I don't know how much time passed before he took out the small notebook from his coat pocket.
Jiang's mother's request was written on it.
Finally, he wrote two more words.
divorce!
Jiang Zhixun left the guesthouse and did not return to the dormitory immediately.
Instead, he made a phone call to find out what happened to Shen Qingqing on the train.
Upon learning that she was followed into the bathroom by a hooligan and that there was a scuffle, Jiang Zhixun couldn't suppress the coldness in his heart.
"Comrade Shen reacted quickly and calmly, assisted the train attendant in catching the hooligan, got off the train midway, and sent the man to the public security bureau."
On the way back to the dormitory, Jiang Zhixun was thinking, no wonder she kept crying when they met this time.
It's very different from her previous smiling self.
It turns out that I was really wronged.
As I thought about it, I felt a little angry.
If he hadn't noticed the injury on Shen Qingqing's arm, would she have kept it a secret and not told him about the trouble she had encountered?
She was still running a fever, but she didn't mention it when we met in the cafeteria.
The more Jiang Zhixun thought about it, the angrier he became, and he went back to the guesthouse.
But he calmed down when he went upstairs.
What can he say when he meets Shen Qingqing?
Do you want to criticize her?
But she is a victim, she feels so wronged, she will definitely cry if she is criticized.
After standing at the stairs for a few minutes, Jiang Zhixun turned and went to the front desk.
"My...my love is not feeling well. Please keep an eye on her for me."
He glanced at his watch and said, "Knock on the door every two hours. If her fever doesn't go down, please take her to the hospital for me."
…
Shen Qingqing had not been here for long, but the news that she was Jiang Zhixun's lover had already spread throughout the compound.
Several comrades witnessed what happened not long ago.
At first, I thought they had a bad relationship.
Later, Jiang Zhixun took people to the hospital for treatment. He was busy running around, afraid that the female comrade would be hungry, and he even went to the cafeteria to buy food for her.
The nervousness doesn't seem fake.
I thought the couple had reconciled, but I didn't expect Jiang Zhixun to leave her in the guesthouse and go back to the dormitory.
Suddenly I felt a sense of disappointment.
"Old Jiang, your wife came all the way from Beijing, why don't you spend more time with her?"
“Comrade Shen might be scared living in a guesthouse alone in an unfamiliar place.”
“I heard that Comrade Shen is sick. Someone met you in the hospital. How is her condition? If you are not by her side, will there really be no problems?”
Jiang Zhixun sat at the table, picked up a book, and refused to answer these questions. Someone reminded him weakly, "Old Jiang, you hold the book upside down..."
Jiang Zhixun's mind was a little confused. He really didn't expect Shen Qingqing to appear here.
He put the book down in a huff and sat there in silence, with cold air blowing out.
"Lao Jiang, did you have a fight?"
Before Jiang Zhixun could respond, someone else answered, "Comrade Shen seems to have a good temper, so he shouldn't quarrel. On the contrary, Lao Jiang has not been kind to Comrade Shen since they met. I guess Comrade Shen didn't want to see the cold face, so he sent him back."
Jiang Zhixun did not explain when being teased.
He was very upset now, not knowing whether it was right or wrong for him to keep Shen Qingqing.
If she recovers and brings up the idea of having a child again...
Just thinking about this gave Jiang Zhixun a headache.
If he changes his mind now and wants to send her back to Beijing, will Shen Qingqing make trouble with him?
Jiang Zhixun looked serious and distressed, as if he had encountered a huge problem.
His comrades gave him advice.
"Comrade Shen is sick, and she must want someone to be with her. If you go to take care of her now, you will earn points for yourself. When Comrade Shen recovers, she will naturally forgive you."
Jiang Zhixun snorted, "I didn't do anything to offend her, why do you ask for forgiveness?"
The comrade had a complicated expression, "How long have you not been home? If Comrade Shen hadn't come to find us, we wouldn't have known that you were married. This alone is very hurtful. Do you think you are worthy of her?"
"When Comrade Lin was talking to Comrade Shen in the cafeteria, you didn't know how to stop him. Your wife must have felt very aggrieved."
Jiang Zhixun didn't want to tell anyone else about what happened between him and Shen Qingqing.
Lin Fengmian has nothing to do with him.
If she did something wrong, the Lin family would naturally teach her a lesson.
Silently calculating the time in my heart.
Just one month.
Just wait until Shen Qingqing is sent back to Beijing.
