Chapter 80 Leaving the Compound
They divorced and then had a quarrel. Shen Qingqing and Jiang Zhixun didn’t speak to each other for the next few days.
Even the New Year’s Eve dinner on 30th of the lunar year, everyone eats their own food.
Compared to before, the relationship has reached a freezing point.
Shen Qingqing simply didn't want to talk to Jiang Zhixun.
Jiang Zhixun was angry.
Shen Qingqing was so angry that she suddenly changed her tone and stopped calling them mom and dad.
Divorce does not mean severing ties. It would be fine if she distanced herself from him, but she also hurt the elders' feelings in that way.
What’s next? Will she never return to the compound again?
The more Jiang Zhixun thought about it, the angrier he became. When he saw Shen Qingqing's indifferent attitude, he was deeply stung.
So, Shen Qingqing didn't talk to him, and he didn't take the initiative to talk to her either.
It's freezing cold every day, as if it would freeze people to death.
Except Shen Qingqing, no one in the family felt happy.
But the elders cannot interfere in such matters and can only let them do as they please.
Shen Qingqing didn't plan to stay in the Jiang family for long. After the third day of the New Year, she began to plan to leave.
Different from last time.
This time she leaves, she won’t come back to the compound unless it’s a festival or something important.
When Jiang Zhixun remarries, or if her condition becomes too serious, she may not come back during the holidays.
Shen Qingqing doesn't like to drag things out, but this time, she really doesn't know how to start.
I prepared several versions of the wording in my mind.
But the Jiang family raised her, and she found it difficult to bring up the matter in front of her elders.
It dragged on like this until Chen Shaojie came to Beijing to see Shi Yu, and Shen Qingqing finally had the opportunity to leave.
Seeing her carrying the box downstairs, Jiang's mother's heart skipped a beat.
"The New Year isn't even over yet, why are you going back to work?"
For Jiang's mother, the Chinese New Year is not over until after the 15th day of the lunar year.
She had already prepared herself mentally that Qingqing would leave the compound sooner or later and return to the small house she rented.
But it's too early!
While wiping her hands, Jiang's mother took the box from Shen Qingqing's hand.
"If you still recognize us, wait until after the fifteenth day of the lunar year before leaving. Mom will never stop you and will personally send you to the rental house."
"As for your illness, your father has found a specialist for you. He will be returning to Beijing in a few days. Mom and Zhixun will accompany you to see the doctor and listen to what the specialist says."
Shen Qingqing was not surprised.
The elders of the Jiang family were very kind to her, and she would not deny that.
That's why I keep hesitating.
Afraid of hurting the feelings of the elders.
But some things cannot be solved by dragging them out. Since we have to take this step sooner or later, it is better to do it decisively.
Keep wavering and you will only add to your troubles.
During this period, something unexpected might happen.
Shen Qingqing has made up her mind and will not change it.
The matter of seeing a specialist will have to be put on hold for the time being, at least until Jiang Zhixun finishes his vacation and returns to the Northwest.
He has been very difficult to deal with in the past period of time. If Jiang Zhixun knew the truth, he would probably become even more aggressive.
"I'll hand over my work first, then go see the doctor. I can rest for a while and not worry about work all the time."
Her illness is different from an emergency.
Jiang's mother also thought it would be better to put off the work and recuperate at home.
"Your hand is still injured, so it's inconvenient for you to do anything. You should stay at home until your injury is healed."
During this period, Shen Qingqing got used to doing things with one hand and could take care of herself.
According to the current recovery situation, I should be able to return to normal life in two or three months.
If there is something she really can't do, she will spend some money and hire someone to help her.
Shen Qingqing felt somewhat fortunate.
In the past three years, she did not dwell on her failed marriage, but instead devoted her energy to work and saved a large amount of money.
The amount even exceeded the allowance Jiang Zhixun gave her.
As long as she spends frugally and prices don't rise too much, the money can cover her expenses for at least ten years.
Or even longer.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingqing took out Jiang Zhixun's passbook.
She had returned it to Jiang Zhixun before in Northwest China.
But he didn't take it away and left it in the guesthouse.
In the past three years, she has not spent a penny of Jiang Zhixun's money. After the divorce, there is no reason for her to spend his money.
Shen Qingqing has her own pride. Even if she lives in poverty for the rest of her life, she will never accept Jiang Zhixun's charity.
He gave the passbook to Jiang's mother and said, "This is his allowance for the past three years. Please help me pay it back to him."
Jiang Zhixun transferred the allowance to Shen Qingqing and told no one about it.
Shen Qingqing didn't mention him on her own initiative.
As a result, Jiang's mother had no idea about their private interactions over the past three years.
Holding the passbook at this moment, I felt it was extremely hot.
Zhixun gave the money to Qingqing, which meant that he recognized Qingqing as his wife.
Even if they get divorced, he definitely won't be willing to take the money back.
Jiang's mother has never suffered much in her life. No matter what happens, her husband will take it on for her.
Didn't take the money seriously.
Without thinking, he stuffed it back into Shen Qingqing's hand and said, "He gave it to you, so it's yours. You may not be able to make money when you recuperate in the future. You can take the passbook. We are relieved, and Zhixun is also relieved."
Shen Qingqing refused, "I have my own savings, don't worry about me."
This time he didn't put it in Jiang's mother's hands, but put it on the table.
Shen Qingqing was relieved, "If it really doesn't work, when Brother Zhixun gets married, you can give the money to your sister-in-law."
Mother Jiang looked directly into Shen Qingqing's eyes.
There is only calmness and relaxation, without the pain and struggle of unrequited love.
Women understand women best. Qingqing may have really given up.
Realizing this, Jiang's mother became extremely panicked.
She is still waiting for the couple to remarry!
"There's no such thing as a sister-in-law. Don't think too much. This will always be your home."
Although Jiang's mother had once put pressure on her, Shen Qingqing did not hate her at all.
People's hearts are biased. Jiang Zhixun is his biological son, so it is normal for him to receive more understanding and love.
In recent years, Jiang's mother has treated her better than many people treat their own daughters.
Shen Qingqing is already very content.
He took a deep breath and put on a relaxed smile. "I have to accompany my friend to a blind date, so I'll leave first. I'll come back to see you after I finish my work. Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Jiang to help me contact a specialist for treatment."
Your body is your own. Shen Qingqing won't make a fuss or be hard on herself.
Since Jiang's father can find an expert, it's a good thing for her to go and take a look.
Maybe experts will have better treatment methods.
Compared with health, everything else is trivial.
Jiang's mother still didn't want Shen Qingqing to leave, but she said she had already made an appointment with her friends.
"Then come back after your blind date."
Shen Qingqing smiled and said, "My friend also works in a publishing house. The meeting place is near the rental house. It is more convenient for me to go back there."
Not wanting Jiang's mother to persuade her again, Shen Qingqing said, "The man is Brother Zhixun's comrade-in-arms. He's a very nice guy. He helped me a lot when I was in the Northwest, so I want to help him today. If we can settle the matter, it will be a happy event."
Jiang's mother thought, no wonder Zhixun left early in the morning.
It turned out that he was going to meet his comrades.
Maybe when things are over, he will bring Qingqing back.
Thinking of this, Jiang's mother did not stop Shen Qingqing, but personally sent her to the car.
"Come back when you're done."
Shen Qingqing smiled and nodded, giving Jiang's mother an accurate answer, "I will be back."
As long as Jiang Zhixun was not around, she would occasionally return to the compound.
But as long as he was there, she would never come back.
