Chapter 8: Divorce
It was only after receiving a call from Jiang Zhixun that Jiang's mother learned that Shen Qingqing had gone to the Northwest.
I thought she had finally figured it out and wanted to put her marriage and family first, and I was so happy.
"Since she's gone to your place, you should apply for a house quickly so that it will be more convenient for you two to live together."
Jiang Zhixun never thought of leaving Shen Qingqing here.
Not to mention that their marriage is awkward, the conditions here cannot be compared with those in Beijing.
Shen Qingqing also has a translation job, and everything is inconvenient here.
Q: "Have you ever met her before she came to the Northwest?"
“Yes.”
Jiang's mother said in a calm tone, "If you count the days, it should be the day before she left for the Northwest. She came home to give your grandfather some supplements, eggs, and meat, but she left within half an hour."
Jiang's mother knew that it was a bit too much to ask Shen Qingqing to give up her job.
But the situation forces someone to compromise, right?
It's impossible for a couple to live apart for their entire lives. What kind of logic would that make?
Later, realizing that Shen Qingqing was stubborn, she backed off and just let them have a child.
Shen Qingqing didn't make any move, and Jiang's mother felt disappointed, thinking that she was going to refuse again.
I didn't expect that he would go to Zhixun without saying anything.
After all, she was the girl she had watched grow up. If her son had not been home for three years, she would not have felt resentful towards Shen Qingqing.
Let her move out and rent a house by herself.
Now that Shen Qingqing has made concessions, Jiang's mother's resentment has largely disappeared.
Hearing the other end of the line, the son asked again: "Was she hurt when she got home?"
Jiang's mother was puzzled, but she still thought carefully about what happened that day.
"She cleaned your wedding room and took her things with her when she left. She didn't look injured."
At that time, I thought Shen Qingqing wanted to draw a clear line with them and even refused to come back to live in the compound.
Jiang's mother was sulking again.
I didn't expect that she went to the Northwest, then everything can be explained.
Jiang's mother advised earnestly, "Qingqing is well-educated, pretty, and has a good temper. Mom can see that she has you in her heart. Don't be stubborn. No matter why you got married, now that you have obtained the marriage certificate, live a good life."
"The girl has chased you all the way to the northwest. If you don't give in, you should just get a divorce to avoid wasting each other's time."
divorce?
Jiang Zhixun never thought about it.
I even feel that it’s good to be separated like before.
"If you want us to divorce, why don't you go and persuade Shen Qingqing? If she wants to divorce, I don't object."
Jiang's mother said unhappily, "If she wanted a divorce, why would she wait three years? Now she has lowered her status, so don't go too far."
"Um."
Jiang Zhixun leaned against the wall with a nonchalant look on his face, not taking his mother's words to heart.
I was still thinking about Shen Qingqing's injury.
Since she was fine when she returned to the compound, the injuries on her body were most likely caused on the way here.
There are all kinds of people on the train, and Shen Qingqing is a delicate little girl, so it is not impossible for her to be bullied.
Jiang Zhixun stood up straight and said, "Hang up."
"I haven't finished speaking yet."
Jiang's mother said quickly: "Ask Qingqing to call me back. I have something to say to her."
"If you have anything to say, wait until she returns to Beijing."
Upon hearing this, Jiang's mother exploded instantly, "She has already taken the first step, and you are pushing her back. Why don't you get it?"
"This isn't the right place for her."
"Then you should find a way to apply for a transfer back to Beijing!"
Although Shen Qingqing is an orphan, her parents are both intellectuals and she has been carefully brought up since childhood.
She can speak more than one foreign language, has beautiful handwriting, and is very good at writing articles.
Professor Shen and Jiang's father are good friends. Jiang's mother met Shen Qingqing when she was little.
At that time, Shen Qingqing could sing, play the violin, and paint.
It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a talented woman.
This was also the reason why Jiang's mother agreed to let Shen Qingqing marry Jiang Zhixun three years ago.
Putting personal emotions aside, whoever has such a good comrade as their daughter-in-law will be lucky!
Jiang's mother was afraid that her son would really send Shen Qingqing back, so she slowed down her tone.
"It's rare for her to go to the Northwest, and it's tiring to take the train. She's not like you, who is tough and can handle the trip. Let her stay there for a while, and you can go home with her to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year."
There was no response from the person on the other end of the phone, and Jiang's mother became anxious again.
"She's just a little girl. What if something happens on the way?"
Jiang Zhixun raised his eyelids slightly and hummed. Jiang's mother didn't know which question he was answering.
"I can't make it through to you. Ask Qingqing to call me back and I'll talk to her."
"Um."
This time it's really dead.
Jiang Zhixun returned to the ward. Shen Qingqing had not finished the infusion yet, but her emotions had stabilized.
The sister-in-law in the next bed was not at home, so Jiang Zhixun took this opportunity to ask Shen Qingqing.
"How did you get hurt?"
Shen Qingqing did not hide it, "I met a hooligan on the train."
She encountered quite a bit of trouble on this trip.
Swallowing grievances is not her style.
Considering the suffering she has endured, Jiang Zhixun might decisively agree to divorce.
From now on, she will never come to the Northwest again.
The man's cold and distant expression finally caused a stir.
"Why didn't you say that before?"
The words came out a little hastily, mixed with anger.
If it was when they first met, Shen Qingqing might have cried, but now her heart was calm, without a single ripple.
Looking at Jiang Zhixun, he asked, "Have you ever given me a chance to speak properly?"
From the moment they met in the cafeteria, he wanted to send her to the train station immediately.
Later I went to the hospital again.
It was because Sister Li went to the bathroom, otherwise they would not have had the chance to talk about private matters.
Jiang Zhixun stared at Shen Qingqing with his deep eyes without blinking.
Shen Qingqing was not willing to be outdone and stared back.
She was half leaning on the hospital bed, with a pillow behind her and the scarf around her neck untied.
Jiang Zhixun is tall, so he has to raise his chin to look him in the eye.
The swan's neck was exposed to the air, slender and white.
She is obviously very fragile, yet she appears to be arrogant.
Jiang Zhixun thought, who said she had a good temper? Isn’t she quite rebellious now?
"Now is not the time to be petty. Tell me what happened at the time. Did you find the flight attendant? Where is the hooligan now? Have you reported it to the police?"
Jiang Zhixun asked several questions in a row.
He is very calm and rational.
Shen Qingqing suddenly felt a little discouraged, and her chin dropped back a little bit.
I saw Mrs. Li coming back with an IV bottle.
Shen Qingqing looked at Jiang Zhixun deeply, then lay back on the bed with her back to him.
Jiang Zhixun was very angry at this refusal to talk.
He thought he was emotionally stable, but as soon as Shen Qingqing appeared, she began to stir up his emotions.
They had only met for a few hours, but he had already lost count of how many times he had been pissed off.
Jiang Zhixun walked around to Shen Qingqing.
"I asked you a question, did you hear me?"
Shen Qingqing pulled up the quilt and covered her head.
Jiang Zhixun's chest heaved twice, and he stared at the quilt as if he wanted to stare a hole in it.
His handsome face turned dark and looked very scary.
Seeing this, Sister Li shook her head repeatedly.
"You can't be harsh when talking to your wife, Captain Jiang, you can't do that."
