Chapter 74

Zhao Qianjin agreed to divorce, so the matter was easy to handle. Both parties took their household registration books, ID cards, and marriage certificates to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their divorce certificates. They also signed a child support agreement. Qin Juan took half of the 528 yuan savings of Zhao Qianjin and his wife. From now on, Zhao Di's support will belong to Qin Juan and has nothing to do with the Zhao family.

In order to prevent the Zhao family from regretting in the future, Qin Xiang also specifically wrote in the agreement that Zhao Qianjin had no obligation to support Zhao Di, and Zhao Di had no obligation to support Zhao Qianjin in the future.

What we are worried about is that Zhao Qianjin will betray us in the future and let Zhao Di support him in his old age. That would be too disgusting.

It was not until then that Meng Huaiqing said, "I have a team of lawyers, you can fight for the necessary rights and interests."

Qin Xiang looked at Meng Huaiqing and smiled, "Mr. Meng, there is no need for a team of lawyers in China now. Now we just want to get a divorce as soon as possible. Even if we pursue it, what can we do? Three or five hundred is far less important than stability." Hearing this,

Meng Huaiqing was stunned, then nodded, his expression was still gentle, "Okay, if you need it, just ask. I will be in the mainland most of the time in the next few years."

Qin Xiang thought to himself: It really doesn't matter to me whether you are in the mainland or not.

But the other person was kind-hearted, and Qin Xiang was not an ungrateful person, so he immediately responded, "Okay, I will definitely not be polite to you when I need you."

"Well," Meng Huaiqing responded, and seeing her respond to him, he raised his hand to look at his watch and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." After that,

Meng Huaiqing politely nodded to everyone, said hello , got in the car and drove away.

Only after everyone left did Qin Baotian breathe a sigh of relief, "This big boss looks really impressive, I don't even dare to breathe when he stands here."

Qin Xiang was amused, "Can he block your nostrils if you breathe?"

Everyone laughed at once.

After laughing, the family had to leave the police station. When they came out, they saw the Zhao family coming out. When Zhao Qianjin saw Qin Juan, his eyes were red. "Juanzi..."

Qin Juan had a faint smile on her face, but when she heard this voice, her face fell, and then she turned her head away and ignored Zhao Qianjin. She even covered Zhao Di's eyes, not wanting her daughter to see this family again.

Zhao Qianjin felt very uncomfortable seeing himself being treated like this.

He glanced at the Qin family, but still took a few steps forward, with a face full of guilt and affection, "Juanzi, I know I have let you down in the past, and you have reason to be angry. But I want to say that I, Zhao Qianjin, love you, and only you. If..."

He looked at Qin Juan who didn't even look at him, and was heartbroken and unable to breathe, "If one day you need my help, please remember to find me. I will always be here waiting for you."

Zhao Qianjin's words did not move others, but he himself was moved. With tears on his face, he walked away, looking back every few steps.

Gao Yulan and Old Man Zhao followed closely behind him. Gao Yulan said viciously, "You will regret it sooner or later."

Qin Xiang smiled when she heard it, "My ex-mother-in-law said the same thing when I divorced, but you can go ask her how she feels now."

Qin Hai couldn't help laughing out loud.

Gao Yulan's face turned pale and blue, she snorted and turned away, "My family doesn't want you who can only give birth to losers."

Qin Xiang said loudly, "A loser has the nerve to call others losers, how shameless you must be. I wish you find a daughter-in-law soon."

Given the reputation of the Zhao family in the chemical factory dormitory, it would be difficult to find a daughter-in-law from a good family, but nothing is absolute, and there are indeed people who marry daughters for money. As for the life and death of the daughter, who cares?

But this is not something Qin Xiang and others can control, they just need to protect their own family.

Seeing that everyone had left, Qin Baotian sighed, "What will Juanzi do in the future?"

She was really worried, as the two girls were now divorced.

His words made the brothers and sisters quiet down, as they understood Qin Baotian's worries.

If it was only their father at home, then it would be fine for Qin Juan to move back to her parents' home, but the problem was that there was also the confused Lian Fengying at home. Lian Fengying was now in love with Tian Zhongmei, and Tian Zhongmei's words had a huge impact on Lian Fengying.

If Qin Juan went back, she might be sold out by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in two days.

Qin Xiang didn't want Qin Juan and her daughter to go back, so he said, "Fourth sister, come with me to the provincial capital."

Qin Juan shook her head and said, "Let me think about it first."

Qin Hai said, "Okay, let's go to my house first, rest and have a meal, then we can talk about other things."

The whole family went directly to Qin Hai's house and packed the small house.

Huang Xiufen was busy cooking, Qin Hai said, "Don't bother, I'll go to the restaurant downstairs and ask them to cook something for us."

Knowing that Qin Hai felt sorry for her and didn't want her to be tired, Huang Xiufen nodded, "Okay, but I'll go, you discuss the test paper with Dad and the others."

She hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Juanzi still has to go to work, let them live in our house first, it's more crowded."

After saying that, Huang Xiufen took the money and went out, Qin Hai showed a gentle smile on his face.

Everyone said that he was too careless to marry a daughter of a bankrupt, but only he knew how good Huang Xiufen was.

He smiled and turned around, then poured water for the family and discussed Qin Juan's matter.

Qin Juan also thought a lot about her mother's life during the divorce dispute these two days. She appreciated her sister's kindness, but she didn't want to cause trouble for her sister.

Qin Hai said, "Don't be afraid if you stay in the county. Zhao Qianjin doesn't dare to do anything."

"He doesn't dare to do anything, but it's annoying." Qin Xiang said, "I think I want to stay far away. This is also good for Nian Nian's future. If we stay in the county, we will always run into each other. What if they secretly say something to Nian Nian?"

Qin Juan hugged Nian Nian, touched her hair and said, "I'm going to the provincial capital."

Qin Xiang was happy for her when she said that, "Okay, you can live with me when you go there. There are more people around to help take care of Nian Nian. When Nian Nian is old enough, she can be sent to a nursery. You can help in my store."

"No." Qin Juan shook her head. "Xiangxiang, I'm going to the provincial capital, but I don't want to disturb you. I want to rent a house by myself, and then set up a stall to make money. I'll sell my job here."

Although many people have started to work as self-employed individuals, jobs in state-owned factories are still popular among the public. People at that time did not realize that workers in state-owned factories would also be laid off in the future, and they just thought it was a stable job.

Qin Juan saw Qin Xiang's abnormal expression and smiled and said, "Xiangxiang, I want to rely on myself for once."

Hearing her say this, Qin Xiang's heart suddenly softened, "What about Nian Nian?"

"Nian Nian was sent to the nursery." Qin Juan touched the top of her girl's head, and her heart was soft. Even if she hated Zhao Qianjin, Nian Nian was still her daughter and her baby. For her baby, she was willing to overcome all difficulties and be brave.

This was the second time Qin Juan made a decision in her life. She made the wrong decision the previous time, and she hoped she would not make a mistake this time.

Qin Xiang agreed after a little thought, "Then you can stay at my place before you settle down, okay?"

Qin Juan smiled, "Okay, thank you Xiangxiang."

She was very grateful to her sister. She knew that if her sister was not here today, it would probably not be so easy to get a divorce.

Gao Yulan wanted a grandson, but she was also afraid that divorce would bring bad reputation to Zhao Qianjin. Now everything was fine, but she got divorced directly because of this.

Qin Juan asked the child to stay with Qin Hai first, and she planned to sell her job.

Qin Xiang said, "It's not that easy to sell a job, don't worry."

"It's easy to sell." Qin Juan said, "Nowadays a job in a state-owned cotton mill can be sold for 500 yuan. I sell it for 400 yuan, and no one wants it? I just need to advertise it to people at the gate of the factory, and I guarantee that it will be sold before getting off work. Now it's almost time to get off work, I will shout there and someone will buy it, and I can go through the formalities tomorrow."

After she finished speaking, she walked outside, and Qin Yang followed her, "I'll go with you."

Qin Juan knew that her third brother was worried about her, so she went outside. Nodding, "Okay, thank you, Third Brother."

Not long after the siblings left, Huang Xiufen came back with food. After dinner, Huang Xiufen and Qin Hai had to go to work in the afternoon. Before leaving, Qin Hai said to Qin Xiang, "Let's chat in the evening."

Qin Xiang smiled, "Okay."

It seems that the Third Brother's idea has changed. He probably wants to start a business in advance. But it doesn't matter. According to the timeline of the previous life, Huang Xiufen will indeed be out of work soon. In the big environment, the major state-owned factories are not developing well, and the first to be cleared are temporary workers.

Of course, Huang Xiufen also has other choices, that is, her mother retires early and she goes to take over, but the work in the chemical factory is too tiring. As her second brother loves his wife, he will definitely not be willing to let his mother-in-law sell her job, and he will not let Huang Xiufen go.

It was summer now, and it got dark late. Qin Juan and Qin Yang came back at around seven o'clock, but they looked unhappy.

Qin Xiang asked, "What happened? Didn't you sell it?"

"I found someone to buy it." Qin Juan was originally a very soft-hearted person, but she gradually came up with ideas in the past two days. She smiled sarcastically, "I was so stupid before, I actually thought Zhao Qianjin could really learn well. Now that I'm divorced, I understand that some men are just dogs that can't change their eating shit. The people in their family are really disgusting." Only

then did Qin Xiang know that when Qin Juan and her brother and sister had no place to sell the job in the factory, Gao Yulan, who heard the news and rushed over, made a fuss again, saying that the job belonged to the Zhao family and Qin Juan had no right to sell it. He even wanted to stir up trouble by making a scene.

God knows, Qin Juan's job was bought by Qin Baotian after Qin Juan married into the Zhao family. He spent 350 yuan to beg his grandfather and grandmother to raise money. How could the Zhao family feel embarrassed?

Fortunately, Qin Yang followed him and kicked Zhao Qianjin, who was hiding on the side, without saying a word. He also took out the divorce agreement and showed it to everyone, which dominated the public opinion.

Moreover, the family who wanted to buy the job was not a pushover. They directly threatened to make Zhao Qianjin suffer if they continued to obstruct. The two sides finally reached an agreement. Because it was too late and the factory had closed, they agreed to go to the factory early tomorrow morning to handle the procedures.

Things went smoothly, and Qin Juan felt relieved.

Thinking about the past few years, it was like a dream, and she never wanted to live like that again.

After dinner in the evening, Qin Hai said to Qin Xiang, "Your sister-in-law has already notified her that she will not go to work next month."

Qin Juan was surprised when he heard this, "Second brother, why didn't you tell me earlier? I would have given the job to your second sister-in-law directly. Otherwise, I won't sell it and let your second sister-in-law go to work in the national cotton mill."

Hearing this, Qin Hai smiled, but shook his head, "If we want it, we will pay for it. The reason we didn't ask for it is because we discussed and planned to rent a small house next to the gate of the compound to open a small store and let your second sister-in-law look after it. I looked around nearby, and there are not many small stores now. People still have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy soy sauce, vinegar, etc., so I think it's not bad to just look after this compound."

When he said this, Qin Xiang knew what he was talking about. The family compound where Qin Hai lived had only one gate, and there was an empty house at the gate. It was originally where the gatekeeper lived, about ten square meters, but in recent years, there was no one to guard the gate, so the house was vacant.

If it could be rented, the location would be really good, and people in the compound could pass by here when going back and forth.

Qin Xiang couldn't help but sigh at her second brother's quick thinking. She agreed, "I think this location is good, second brother. If possible, I think it's better to buy it. Otherwise, what if you do well and someone gets jealous and tries to do something bad?"

Qin Hai nodded, "I thought so too. I also asked, but although the food factory is not developing very well, it seems that they don't think highly of this little money. They said that they can rent the house to us, but they won't sell it. So I plan to sign a few more years. After all, I'm an old employee of the factory, so the factory didn't make it difficult for me and signed an eight-year contract with me. I think eight years is good." It was

indeed not bad. After eight years, it would be the early 1990s. Maybe Qin Hai would not think highly of this small place by then.

Qin Xiang affirmed, "Second brother, you have made a good decision. I think it's OK."

But Qin Baotian was a little worried. His daughter-in-law was indeed successful in business. He now knew that selling clothes could make money, but could his daughter-in-law make money by opening a small store?

Qin Xiang said to Qin Baotian, "Dad, don't underestimate the small store. Although it only sells some household items and the profit is low, it can add up to a lot. Second sister-in-law can take care of the family while running the small store. As for the future, maybe second brother will not think highly of this small place and turn it into a big supermarket directly?"

Qin Baotian didn't understand, "What is a big supermarket?"

Even Qin Hai looked at her puzzled.

Qin Xiang explained to them, "It's similar to a department store. That's what they call it in foreign countries. I think there will be such a day in China sooner or later."

Qin Baotian laughed, "How can we do that?"

"I think my second brother can do it." Qin Xiang glanced at her second brother, who was already thoughtful. Qin Xiang knew that her second brother was a promising one.

Seriously speaking, among the five brothers and sisters in the Qin family, she thinks her second brother is the smartest one. The eldest brother Qin Jun is stupid and brings stupidity to the whole family. Although the third brother is powerful, he doesn't have much brains. The fourth sister Qin Juan is too soft-hearted and she lived a muddled life in her previous life. Only the second brother has lived the most sober life in both lives. He lives a happy life with his second sister-in-law and two children.

"No one can predict what will happen in the future, but I have high hopes for my second brother." Qin Xiang smiled, "Second brother, if you need money, just let me know."

When she first started her business, her second brother gave her 200 yuan without asking anything, and she always remembered that she would not back down when her second brother needed money.

Qin Hai nodded, "Okay."

This matter was almost settled, and Qin Hai planned to make arrangements after this month.

Qin Baotian was worried but also relieved to know that his child had his own ideas. He could only say, "I'll help you when the time comes."

Qin Xiang looked at her father, "Dad, do you want to learn the technology of raising ducks? I think raising ducks is also good."

But Qin Baotian shook his head, "Forget it, I won't learn that. It's also good to be a foreman and lead people to build houses for others."

Qin Xiang didn't persuade him much. Being a foreman is indeed not bad. Although it is a bit tiring, you can also make money.

That night, Qin Xiang and others stayed in the guesthouse, and Qin Juan and her daughter squeezed into Qin Hai's house. The next morning, Qin Juan went to the factory to handle the formalities. They didn't have anything to worry about in the county.

As for her mother's family, Qin Juan did not plan to go back. Lian Fengying had come to make a scene yesterday, which had already made Qin Juan feel hopeless about her mother.

Qin Baotian did not persuade her much about her choice, but only told Qin Yang to take good care of the two younger sisters.

Qin Juan and her daughter did not go back to get the things when they divorced, but now they must go back to get them. According to Qin Xiang's opinion, those things should not be taken away, but Qin Juan shook her head, "Some things still have to be taken away. I would rather throw them away than let the Zhao family get away with them."

So Qin Yang followed Qin Juan back to get the things, and Qin Xiang took care of Nian Nian at Qin Hai's house.

Nian Nian was almost three years old. The little girl was ignorant, but unusually obedient. She sat on the bench and played with a broken doll given to her by the eldest son of Qin Hai's family. She did not cry or make a fuss.

Qin Xiang looked at her and asked, "Can I take you to buy a flowery skirt?"

All children like flowery skirts. Nian Nian also likes it, but she is afraid that she will upset the adults, so she shook her head and said, "Nian Nian doesn't want anything."

When children are disobedient, adults are upset, but children who are too obedient are too pitiful. You don't need to look at anything else, just look at the two children of Qin Hai's family. The younger Qin Bao is a little older than Nian Nian. The whole child is very lively and innocent. Last night, she was so excited to see so many people in the house.

Only Nian Nian, who is not big, is so well-behaved. She sits obediently when Qin Juan asks her to, for fear of annoying others.

Qin Xiang hugged Nian Nian's small and soft body and said, "Don't be afraid of anything at your aunt's place. Come on, I'll take you to buy a flowery dress."

The two of them left Qin Hai's house and met the neighbors on the way downstairs. They also knew Qin Xiang and greeted her with a smile, "Are you taking the child out?"

Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Yes, I'm taking the child out for a walk."

The old lady smiled and said, "By the way, have you found a partner? I have a relative who is just right, a young man or a woman. , 25 years old, a soldier in the army..."

Qin Xiang waved her hand, "Auntie, I'm busy making money now, and I don't want to find a partner for the time being."

The auntie was not angry, but said regretfully, "That's such a pity."

She fell in love with Qin Xiang because she had a good impression of Qin Hai. She had also met Qin Xiang several times and felt that although this girl was divorced, she was indeed excellent. Moreover, her relative was not someone else, her sister's child, who was a soldier in the army and had never found a partner and had become an older youth. She wanted to match them up, but she didn't expect that she didn't plan to find a partner.

Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Auntie, we'll go first. I'll take her out for a walk. If my brother and sister come back, please tell them."

Auntie agreed, "Okay."

Qin Xiang took Nian Nian out of the family compound and went straight to the department store. Department stores don't have counters specifically selling children's clothes now. When they got there, they found that children's clothes were hung together with adult clothes. The colors were still the same gray colors as before, which were really not very good.

Qin Xiang looked down on it, so she went out to look on the street again, and saw Auntie Liu.

Aunt Liu was so happy when she saw Qin Xiang that she held her hand tightly and wouldn't let go, "I haven't seen you for a while, I missed you."

"Are you doing well?" After they withdrew from Qingshui County, Aunt Liu stopped doing business and now spends her days taking the children for walks.

Old Mrs. Liu waved her hands, "That's it, that's it."

She pointed to her yard and said, "Let me tell you, my yard was in great demand after you left, but I didn't rent it out anymore. My son said he was going to take a leave of absence from work and try to do some business on his own. Our ancestors actually did small business, so I think it's okay. If he wants to give it a try, he can give it a try. If it doesn't work out, he can go back to work."

Qin Xiang thought it was great, so she said, "Now that it's a good environment to be a self-employed person, big brother will definitely be able to make it."

Old people don't dislike hearing people praise their children, so she said with a smile. "I think so too. There are many small vendors in this county these days, even those who sell vegetables with shoulder poles. I think they can make a lot of money."

Qin Xiang nodded, "You are right. As long as you work hard, you will definitely make money. Even if you make three yuan a day, isn't it better than working in a factory? Who cares about the little benefits in the factory when you have more money?"

Three yuan a day is ninety yuan a month. Ordinary workers don't have such high wages. Now many people even just set up stalls on the roadside. Even if they pay stall fees, they may only make one or two cents, which is very cost-effective.

Old lady Liu also calculated this with her son, and her son said the same thing. Now she feels more at ease after hearing Qin Xiang's affirmation. Qin Xiang is really promising, and what a promising person says is definitely true.

After saying this, Mrs. Liu said mysteriously, "You know Qiao Huilan next door, right?"

Qin Xiang knew there was some gossip as soon as she heard it, "Tell me about it."
