Captain Guan did not urge them.
Guan Xing'er and her two children continued to sob.
Guan Dashan stared at Wen Qiming with a dark expression, waiting for a response.
After an unknown amount of time, Wen Qiming's voice finally rang out again: "Since Xiuer doesn't want a divorce, then we won't get divorced. But there are some things I still need to say upfront."
As I mentioned before, my family is large, and there really isn't enough space for everyone to live in. I'm also in school and don't have any savings. Even though the school provides a monthly stipend, that little bit is barely enough to cover my expenses alone..."
Before he could finish speaking, Guan Dashan interrupted him through gritted teeth: "Stop rambling! If you don't want a divorce, then figure out how to settle my sister and her two children, or else my fists won't be for nothing!"
Clenching his fist, Guan Dashan brandished it menacingly in front of Wen Qiming.
"Let's go, to your house!"
Captain Guan looked at Wen Qiming and said something without any emotion.
"Come to my house?"
Wen Qiming looked slightly stunned.
“Your parents have more than one son. During the years you were sent to the countryside, some of your brothers must have gotten married and had children. Since they can live in that house, there’s no reason why your wife and children can’t.”
Captain Guan said with a stern face, "Let's go, don't dawdle here. There are some things you can't say to your parents, but I, as your father-in-law, don't mind putting in a good word for you."
"father!"
Seeing Captain Guan get up to leave the guest room, Wen Qiming hurriedly called out, saying, "My parents have many children, and I have never been favored at home. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been sent to the countryside back then."
Clearly, he meant that even if Captain Guan went to the Wen family to reason with his parents, it wouldn't be of any use.
Captain Guan stopped in his tracks, listening as Wen Qiming continued, "When I returned to the city before the New Year, if I hadn't told my mother I'd been accepted to university, my mother would have kicked me out on the spot. But even though I wasn't kicked out in the end..."
At night, I would make do with a wooden plank in the living room. As soon as it was light, before I could even open my eyes, my mother urged me to put the plank outside... Dad, do you think I would feel comfortable letting Xing'er and the two children live in such a family environment?
Even if I were to trust you, would you trust me?
Xiuer doesn't have a job, but she and her two children still need to eat. Given my mother's and the other people in my family's personalities, they'll probably all try to enslave the three of them, and might even starve them.
How can I concentrate on my studies like this?
If we can't graduate smoothly, what will become of Xing'er, the children, and me?
Wen Qiming's words were heartfelt, because he knew his parents and siblings too well. He knew that in their hearts, he was not their son (brother, brother). As for the place to sleep when he returned to the city before the New Year, it was nothing more than hoping that he would get into university and they could profit from him in the future!
Family ties?
Do they have them?
No!
They had no affection for him, let alone treated his wife and children well.
"So what do you want to do?"
Captain Guan asked.
“I’ll rent a house for Xing’er and the child. I’ll try my best to squeeze out the rent from my allowance. Also… I’ll try to find a way to tutor on weekends. That should earn me some money.”
Furthermore, with the gradual relaxation of national policies, Xing'er could earn some extra income by setting up a street stall.
There was absolutely no possibility left for him and Qin Yaqing.
After all, the other party comes from an extraordinary family, and the man she married... Zhou Shiyang's family is also quite prominent. If he continues to pester her, he will definitely not have a good outcome.
Wen Qiming isn't stupid; how could he not see through Qin Yanzheng's true nature?
His aura and demeanor made it clear to anyone who looked at him that he was no ordinary person.
Besides, what the other party said... was definitely not meant to scare him...
The most crucial point is that Qin Yaqing truly has no feelings for him anymore, a fact he can easily discern from her eyes.
Because he saw it so clearly, Wen Qiming felt particularly uneasy.
When the other person liked and loved him, he didn't cherish it; when he regretted it and wanted to win her back, he found that she no longer had any feelings for him.
I wouldn't say I was in great pain, but I was definitely feeling bad.
"Father, let's do as Wen Qiming said!"
Guan Xing'er's voice rang out.
Are you sure?
Before Captain Guan could speak, Guan Dashan said, "This bastard has been talking for so long, but I haven't heard him say he's given you any guarantees. Think about it carefully. He's in college, and he rented a place for you three outside the school. It seems like he's solved your accommodation problem, but what will you three eat and drink?"
If he stays at school for extended periods and doesn't return to the rented apartment, you three might starve to death there one day and no one would even know!
"Then what do you want me to do?!"
The tears that Guan Xing'er had managed to stop welled up again.
"Go ask Wen Qiming!"
How would he know what to do? Back then, he was vehemently opposed to their marriage, but his parents doted on their daughter, and she protested by going on a hunger strike, so they finally had to agree to let Wen Qiming become their Guan family's son-in-law.
As it turned out, the other party was a complete scoundrel. He broke his promise after getting into university, causing his family to lose face in the village. If he didn't want to continue being gossiped about by the villagers, he would never have come along.
What kind of place is Beijing? It's the capital, a big city. He's from a small village. Even if he longs for it, he knows he doesn't fit in with a big city.
To be honest, as soon as he got off the train, he had no idea what to do with his hands and feet.
They felt like everyone around them was looking at them with strange eyes.
Captain Guan spoke up: "Whether you tutor them or Xing'er sets up a street stall in the future, how are you going to support the three of them right now?"
"I'll borrow ten or twenty yuan from my classmates to give to Xing'er and the others for living expenses."
Qin Yaqing's relationship with Guan Xing'er is practically sealed off, so a divorce is clearly impossible now... Besides, he still has some feelings for the two children.
If he were to act shamelessly and force a breakup with Guan Xing'er, not to mention whether the two children would hate him or even retaliate against him in the future... he might not be able to continue his university studies.
Universities are places for cultivating talents for the country. While focusing on students' academic performance, they also value each student's character and conduct.
If the school finds out about his affair with Myolie Kwan, he will definitely be expelled.
Wen Qiming wasn't just scaring himself; there had been similar cases at his school, and more than one.
The school is currently cracking down on this!
To avoid causing a negative impact on the entire school.
"Alright! Do it this way for now. Once you've settled Xing'er and her two children in, her older brother and I will head back to our hometown."
The hotel was provided by Wen Qiming, and the expenses were also paid by Wen Qiming. After listening to what Captain Guan said, he said, "Then I'll go find a house now."
"Boss, you stay at the hotel with Xing'er and the three of them. I'll go with Qiming to take a look."
