Chapter 5

As soon as Qin Xiang finished speaking, Cui Hong looked at Qin Xiang eagerly, expecting Qin Xiang to say something else, such as their marital discord. Unfortunately, Qin Xiang stopped talking after saying this. Cui Hong was not the one who asked questions in front of Qin Xiang in the past, but it was difficult for her to continue asking questions now.

Cui Hong scratched her head in her heart, wanting to ask but not daring to, and glanced at Qin Xiang from time to time.

Qin Xiang pretended not to see it, and handed Cui Hong the capital specialty bought by Wang Junsheng, "This is the specialty over there, the lotus paste cake from Daoxiang Village, you want to try it?"

Cui Hong took a small bite, and the delicate and rich lotus flavor filled her entire mouth. This was something Cui Hong had never tasted before. Even though Wang Junsheng gave her many gifts in her dreams and she had eaten many delicacies, this taste still made Cui Hong want to cry.

Why did Qin Xiang have a loving husband and mother-in-law, and could become a wife of an official or a wealthy family, since they both had pretty faces, while she could only be wronged to marry a reckless man like Wang Qingshan, and live in the Wang family or be abandoned and driven away by others?

Why?

Cui Hong sniffed and almost died of grievance.

Qin Xiang was stunned and asked curiously, "Cui Hong, why are you crying?"

"No, I just want to cry because it's my first time eating this delicious food." Cui Hong raised her head, her eyes were red, she looked at Qin Xiang and said, "Qin Xiang, I envy you so much."

This envy was sincere, but it was hard to say how much jealousy was contained in it. Qin Xiang felt sarcastic in her heart, but her face was indifferent, "Every family has its own difficulties, but you, your Wang Qingshan treats you really well. How many young wives in the village envy you."

"My life can't be compared with yours." Cui Hong lowered her head and bit her lip. Why did Wang Qingshan treat her well? Wasn't it because he was afraid that he couldn't keep her? Even though Wang Qingshan responded to her every request when he was at home, wasn't that what he should do? Otherwise, based on Wang Qingshan's lack of ability and talent, why should she marry him?

Especially Wang Qingshan's mother was so displeased with her. Wang Qingshan just washed her underwear, but she wanted to climb on the wall and scold her.

She wanted to say to Qin Xiang: Since you are jealous, let's switch.

Cui Hong shook her head and smiled sadly, "You are right, every family has its own difficulties."

Seeing that it was getting late, Cui Hong couldn't stay any longer. If she stayed here, Wang Junsheng would not come, and if she came, she would not be able to see him. Instead of watching Qin Xiang showing off with her, it would be better to go back early to avoid getting angry.

"It's getting late, I'll go back first." Cui Hong got up and walked out, looking forward to bumping into him again like yesterday.

She just didn't believe it. With her figure, if she didn't feel anything after being hit once, how could she not feel anything after being hit twice or three times?

If she really didn't feel anything, then it would be a waste of the clothes she wore specially. It's a pity that it's winter now. It would be much better if it was summer.

Qin Xiang didn't try to keep her and sent her out. Unfortunately, Wang Junsheng wouldn't be stupid enough to stay in the yard in such a cold weather.

After Cui Hong left, Cui Lianhua came out of the house a little unhappy, but her voice was still calm, "The third son finally came back. He will only stay at home for ten days or half a month. You should spend more time with him if you have nothing to do."

Qin Xiang didn't understand what she meant, and didn't argue. She nodded and smiled, "Okay."

Qin Xiang wouldn't take the initiative to mention Cui Hong if the old lady didn't mention it. Her mother-in-law was a master of PUA. Since she got married, she has said a lot of gossip in front of her.

Just like now, Cui Lianhua sighed and said, "You studied well, but it's a pity that you didn't continue to take the exam. I think if you review for a year, you might be able to pass the exam next year. What a pity."

Cui Lianhua said this a lot in this year. Qin Xiang was stupid before, thinking that Cui Lianhua really felt sorry for her and felt sorry for her. She also complained to her parents and refused to go back to her parents' home for a long time. But after a lifetime, she has seen too many things and has her own judgment on some things. She dare not trust this woman anymore.

Qin Xiang smiled immediately, "Mom, you still love me. In my heart, you are just like my own mother."

Cui Lianhua smiled sympathetically and took her hand and said, "Of course, I treat you as my own daughter. The one I love the most is the third child, and you are his wife. You two are husband and wife, and mom loves you the most. No one in this family can surpass you."

But Qin Xiang suddenly said, "Mom, to be honest, I have always wanted to go to college. This year I have read a lot of textbooks left by Junsheng. Since you love me so much, why don’t you support me in my studies? I will also take the college entrance examination next summer, and maybe I can go to the capital. Then your son and daughter-in-law will all be college students, which will be impressive. You will definitely be the best in the village. When we both become cadres in the future, we will honor you together and take you to the city to enjoy life.

Cui Lianhua was stunned and couldn’t believe her ears, "What?"

"It's to take the college entrance examination." Qin Xiang held Cui Lianhua's hand with anticipation on her face. "You know, I was a good student before, but I had a bad stomach during the college entrance examination and didn't do well in the exam. I have always felt regretful, worried that Junsheng will go further in the future and I won't be able to catch up. It would be even better if I could get into college. I could keep up with Junsheng's footsteps and be his virtuous wife. What do you think, mom?"

Her face was full of joy and expectation, but it surprised Cui Lianhua.

"Ah?" Cui Lianhua was indeed very skilled. After being surprised, she said hurriedly, "Why do you want to apply to university when you are married? You are doing well now. You are a woman of family background, and Junsheng has a promising future. Why don't you just stay at home and wait to become the

wife of an official?" "But Xiaoxiao failed the exam twice and you still let her go to school." Qin Xiang looked hurt. "Mom, didn't you say that you treat me as your own daughter? We are both your own daughters. Why are you only willing to support Xiaoxiao and not me? Are you lying to me?"

"That can't be possible." Cui Lianhua was anxious and didn't know how to explain. "I really treat you as my own daughter, really."

If she could let Qin Xiang go to university, she would have let Junsheng find a wife in the city. Why did she choose Qin Xiang? On the one hand, it is face-saving to take her out in such a grand manner. On the other hand, Qin Xiang just graduated from high school but did not get into college. She has never seen the outside world and is inferior to her son in terms of conditions. It will be easier for her to control her in the future.

With Qin Xiang's face, if she gets into college and meets men outside, her heart will become wild. Then can her son still keep her?

So don't be fooled by Cui Lianhua's nice words. It is impossible for her to agree to let Qin Xiang go to college.

Cui Lianhua pursed her lips and said, "We have to discuss this matter carefully. I have never heard of a married daughter-in-law going to college. It is not appropriate to tell others."

Qin Xiang's smile faded, revealing a lost look, "I know."

After that, Qin Xiang went straight back to the house.

Cui Lianhua frowned as she looked at Qin Xiang's back. She didn't understand why she suddenly wanted to take the college entrance examination. Did Cui Hong say something to Qin Xiang, or was it because the third brother's return brought up the sadness of the past that made her bring up the old matter again?

Just as she was thinking, Wang Junsheng came out of the main room, "Mom, why don't you come in? It's so cold outside."

Seeing her looking at the east wing, Wang Junsheng wondered, "What's wrong?"

Cui Lianhua began to wipe her tears, "Nothing, Mom just feels sad."

After saying that, Cui Lianhua went straight into the house. Wang Junsheng didn't understand what was going on. He looked at the door of the east wing, then at the main room. After thinking for a while, he turned around and went into the main room to comfort Cui Lianhua.

After Wang Junsheng's repeated questioning, Cui Lianhua finally told him what happened just now. She didn't exaggerate, just told him what happened, and wiped her tears, "I saw that Qin Xiang seemed to be angry. Mom can't help it."

Wang Junsheng frowned. He really hadn't considered this problem before. Qin Xiang did mention going to the capital to work, but he thought it was embarrassing and refused. Now he was really tempted, "It's not impossible, the school doesn't have a policy that married people can't participate."

Qin Xiang was indeed a good student in the past, and it was indeed because of diarrhea that she couldn't take the college entrance examination. Qin Xiang is beautiful enough, but not educated enough, and not as elegant as the girls in the big cities. If she gets into college, this can be made up.

Cui Lianhua was shocked, "How can that be possible?"

Wang Junsheng was puzzled: "Why not?"

Cui Lianhua blinked and began to wipe her tears again, "I did it for you. Think about it, with Qin Xiang's face, if she really gets into college and goes to the capital, do you think you can keep her?"

Wang Junsheng frowned when he heard this. This article is compiled by Ba Liu 17th issue Umbrella 04, Jun Yang. There is probably no man in the world who likes to hear this. As for himself, he has a good appearance, is well-mannered, and is a student at a famous university in the capital. Everyone says that he has a bright future. When he just finished the college entrance examination, all the people who came to propose marriage to him were excluded. People of Wang Junsheng's age naturally have their own pride. Even if some things are true, he does not want to admit that he is worse than others.

No one knows her own son better than herself. Cui Lianhua knew what he was thinking by looking at his expression, so she broke it down for him, "Junsheng, it's not that mommy looks down on you. In mommy's heart, there is no man in the world who is better or more excellent than you. But just being excellent is not enough. The main thing is that your parents are sorry for not giving you a good family, holding you back, and making you inferior to others in this aspect. I heard what you said about the situation outside. Qin Xiang is so beautiful and young. If a man from a cadre family shows interest in her outside, she will be very angry. There are still two more times, and you are busy with school. Can you stay with her mother every day? Can you guarantee to keep an eye on her? "

Cui Lianhua's tears flowed as she spoke, and she said guiltily, "It's all because of my parents' incompetence that they can't let my son stand out from the crowd, which makes you feel insecure."

Wang Junsheng frowned and said dryly, "Mom, I don't think so. A man has to make his career on his own, and it has nothing to do with you."

But he knew in his heart that what his mother said made sense. If his family was a cadre family, he would not worry about Qin Xiang going to school alone, let alone going to school. He is excellent, but there are people outside who are better than him and have better family conditions. After seeing all this, can Qin Xiang really keep his original intention?

"But what about Qin Xiang now?" Cui Lianhua said sincerely, "You are not young anymore. What if you go to college now, how will you raise a child? After you see the outside world, will she still be willing to have a child for you? Even if she is willing, it will take another four years for you to graduate from college. By then, you will be twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. When your brother is that age, his children will be able to take care of themselves. It is said that one should get married first and then start a career. Didn't your mother let you get married early so that you could pursue your career with peace of mind? How can a man pursue his career if he doesn't have a stable wife to take care of him at home?"

Wang Junsheng was very confused at the moment. He didn't want to admit that his mother's words hit the nail on the head. He quickly stood up and said, "I'll think about it when I get back. I'll persuade her."

After that, he left.

Cui Lianhua heaved a sigh of relief and wiped away her tears. In her heart, she cursed Qin Xiang a thousand times. She was really looking for trouble on New Year's Day. It seemed that the previous treatment was still unsuccessful. That was not good. She couldn't let her heart grow big.

On the other side, Wang Junsheng also returned to the house. Qin Xiang had been waiting for him. When he came in, she asked attentively, "You're back?"

Wang Junsheng nodded. Before he opened his mouth, Qin Xiang took the initiative to ask, "Junsheng, what do you think about me taking the college entrance examination? I won't take the exam in other places, but in the universities in the capital. What do you think?"
