He Ying looked at Qian Gui with a mournful face and said, "Third brother, your wife..."
Qian Gui raised his hand and said, "Mother, it's none of your business. Although we've been married for several years, I can see how you treat her. Some people are just never satisfied."
He Ying wanted to say something, but Qian Gui waved his hand, turned around and went back to his room, putting all of Zhen Qiao's things into a triangular bag, waiting to return them to her after the divorce.
He Ying sighed as she looked at Qian Gui's door, then dejectedly returned to her own room.
Guo Ni and Qian Xianggang had just returned and were somewhat confused about what was going on, but they hadn't expected Zhen Qiao to be so inhumane. She gave Qian Duoduo a look, signaling her to come inside with her.
Qian Duoduo looked at Qian Xiang and Guo Ni and said, "I don't know the cause of this. When I arrived, those three people were already beating up Brother Qian Gui. The neighbors just watched and watched, and not a single person offered to help him."
Upon hearing Qian Duoduo's words, Qian Xiang's eyes flickered, and he asked, "And then?"
Qian Duoduo said, "As a member of the Qian family, I naturally couldn't just watch my brother Qian Gui get beaten up, so I grabbed a fire poker from the wall and beat up the guy who was sticking his neck out. Then I tried to reason with them, and with a tiger and a rifle, I took care of them!"
Qian Xiang patted Qian Duoduo on the shoulder, chuckled, and said, "That's why I feel so at ease with your sister-in-law by your side. You have brains, and your sister-in-law has fighting skills. The two of you together are a perfect match!"
Hearing Qian Xiang's chuckling laughter, Qian Duoduo said, "Brother, are you cursing? I think you want to get beaten up!"
Qian Xiang was taken aback and said, "What do you mean? I'm perfectly fine, why am I being hit?"
Qian Duoduo said, "Aren't you going to get beaten up? You said my sister-in-law is brainless and not smart."
Guo Ni, who had been smiling, immediately looked at Qian Xiang upon hearing Qian Duoduo's words. Qian Xiang immediately took a step back, hugged his son, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't have that idea. Don't get me into trouble!"
Qian Duoduo chuckled when she saw Qian Xiang's actions, showing no remorse for her earlier provocations.
Guo Ni ignored Qian Xiang and simply asked, "Duo Duo, do you think Lao San will get a divorce?"
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "If Zhen Qiao hadn't done those things, Qian Guige might not have made up his mind to get a divorce. But she not only wanted Qian Guige to be her fall guy, but she also dragged down my third brother. This not only crossed Qian Guige's bottom line, but also our family's bottom line."
Guo Ni nodded and said, "I don't know what Zhen Qiao is thinking."
Qian Xiang said, "I once overheard Zhen Qiao telling my mother that she hadn't been able to conceive after so many years of marriage and wanted to have a child. My mother said she would ask my third son about it, and she also asked me to talk to him about it."
The third son meant that he was currently relying on his parents for support and wanted to wait until his circumstances improved before having children. He had discussed this with Zhen Qiao when they first got married, but he never expected that after all these years, Zhen Qiao would actually think he was infertile.
Guo Ni asked, "What is the relationship between those three people and Zhen Qiao?"
Qian Duoduo shook her head and said, "I don't know, but the person I hit had some connection with Zhen Qiao, otherwise he wouldn't have come to help and become the first to stick his neck out."
Guo Ni asked, "This Zhen Qiao usually seems honest and simple. Although she has some petty thoughts and schemes, I think they are harmless. After all, everyone looks out for themselves. But I never expected that she would have a child with someone else and claim it as Lao San's, let alone Qian Mao's. Does she want to die?"
Qian Duoduo sighed and said, "Actually, there were signs of this a long time ago, but I thought that since Third Brother wasn't in Beian Village, she wouldn't see him, and she would gradually settle down and live with Brother Qian Gui!"
Qian Xiang was taken aback by Qian Duoduo's words and asked, "Duoduo, what do you mean? Did you already know that Zhen Qiao was unfaithful to Lao San?"
Qian Duoduo said, "Back when my third brother was still working as Secretary Lu's secretary in the county, Zhen Qiao would often come to our house. After a few times, I gradually realized that every time she came, either my third brother was home, or she was subtly inquiring about his whereabouts."
Later, I became suspicious. I hadn't expected that she really seemed to have feelings for my third brother that went beyond familial affection. So I told him to move to the dormitory in the county and try to come home less often.
Qian Xiang said, "How come I didn't know about this? You didn't tell us either."
Qian Duoduo said, "At that time, Qian Gui and Zhen Qiao were still newlyweds. Besides, when I found out, I saw that Qian Gui treated Zhen Qiao quite well, so I couldn't just tell Qian Gui about these things based on my own guesses."
Qian Xiang nodded, about to say something, when his door suddenly opened. Qian Gui stood in the doorway with a grim expression, looked at Qian Duoduo, and said, "Duoduo, you mean Zhen Qiao, does she really have other thoughts about your third brother?"
Qian Duoduo sighed and told Qian Gui about every encounter she had with Zhen Qiao, as well as her speculations. Qian Gui's face was very ugly, and he said, "That woman deserves to die."
Qian Duoduo said, "Brother Qian Gui, now that you know, I don't want to hide anything from you. I'm only saying this because you're thinking about getting a divorce."
Qian Gui glanced at Qian Duoduo silently, then nodded to indicate that he understood.
Three days later, Qian Gui returned with the divorce certificate. Qian Shengjia also found out about it. He went up to Qian Gui and patted him on the shoulder, wanting to say something, but found that he didn't know how to talk to his nephew, whom he had watched grow up, about these things. After all, it concerned his son's reputation, so he could only nod silently.
Qian Gui smiled and said, "Second Uncle, it doesn't matter. Things have come to this point, so I've cut my losses in time. If I hadn't known that the child in her belly was someone else's, I might have been kept in the dark for the rest of my life."
Qian Sheng sighed and said, "The children of our Qian family are all outstanding."
Qian Gui has been rarely going to work lately because every time he goes to work, he hears people talking about him behind his back. He grits his teeth in anger, but there's nothing he can do. So he went to Qian Sheng and asked, "Second Uncle, I want to go to the provincial capital to find a job. What do you think?"
Qian Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go to the county post office tomorrow and call Lao San to see what arrangements he has."
Qian Gui nodded. He and Qian Mao had grown up together since childhood, and he knew Qian Mao's personality very well.
Although Zhen Qiao framed Qian Mao for this, he didn't really hold a grudge against him because he heard from Qian Duoduo's words that Qian Mao didn't know about this matter, and it was all Zhen Qiao's own wishful thinking.
Now that things have come to this, I need Qian Mao's help to leave Beian Village.
