Chapter 96
The women upstairs kept making noises, and their sharp voices were particularly harsh in the family building.
Qin Xiang was worried that the scene she had witnessed in Qingshui County would happen again, so she moved quickly and rushed up in a few steps.
Before she went upstairs, she heard an old lady advising, "Huilan, this matter has nothing to do with the girl. I saw it clearly. She didn't confiscate Jianjun's things..."
"Bah, she's a divorced woman, not to mention a girl. She's so shameless. We don't even know why she got divorced. Auntie, don't speak for her. She's just playing hard to get. I've seen a lot of women like this before. When they see a good man, they lose their nerve and rush for him without caring about who they are. They think I don't know."
The woman's high-pitched voice reached Qin Xiang's ears, making her furious.
The corridor on the second floor was crowded with people who were watching the excitement. At this time, the benefits of Qin Juan's good relationship with others after moving in were revealed. Many people were trying to persuade and explain, and stood on Qin Juan's side.
However, just when Qin Xiang was about to rush over, the woman suddenly screamed and said incredulously, "You dare to hit me?"
Qin Juan's faint voice came, "If you dare to scold me again, I will hit you again."
Her voice was not loud, but her tone was angry and firm, which was very different from the fourth sister Qin Xiang knew in the past.
Qin Xiang's eyes lit up, not bad, her sister has become more capable.
She had already reached the outer perimeter, but she was not in a hurry to go over to support her waist, but stood outside to watch the situation inside.
Cheng Jianjun was already in his thirties, and his sister, Cheng Huilan, the wife of the beer factory director, was nearly forty. She stood there like a shrew, glaring at Qin Juan and raising her hand to hit her.
Qin Juan was young and had been doing a lot of work, moving things up and down, which required a lot of strength. Cheng Huilan's raised hand was held tightly by Qin Juan before she could raise it. Qin Juan
's face was filled with disgust and hatred, "Let's not talk about the fact that I didn't take your brother's things. Even if I did, it's a matter between Cheng Jianjun and me. Who are you to meddle in my business?"
"Listen, listen to what this shameless little bitch is saying. I'm Cheng Jianjun's sister, and I can't say anything if you seduce him."
There was a crisp snap.
Qin Juan slapped Cheng Huilan again, and she immediately started crying, her eyes wide open in disbelief, "You, you actually dared to hit me, do you know who I am?"
"I don't care who you are, I live here, and I'm not one of the people in your factory who would be jealous of your husband's identity. You're just bullying others by taking advantage of your power. I really sympathize with the director of the beer factory. It's no wonder he can't get promoted with a wife like you." Qin Juan smiled, and her voice was a little tougher than usual, "If you dare to curse me again, I'll hit you."
Fortunately, Cheng Huilan was afraid that Qin Juan would really hit her, so she stood back and said sternly, "I warn you, a woman like you, don't even think about marrying into our Cheng family, you don't deserve it."
"That's really great." Qin Juan looked at Cheng Huilan and said, "Your Cheng family doesn't like people like me, and it just so happens that I don't like families like yours. Please go back and take good care of your brother who has not been weaned yet, and don't bother me anymore, and don't use those worthless things to say good things to me. I, Qin Juan, don't want you, and don't like you. What kind of ugly thing do you think I want?"
Cheng Huilan was very unhappy to hear Qin Juan's words of disdain and wanted to scold her again. Her eyes fell on Qin Juan's hands and she felt a little more fearful. "It's good that you can remember it. Stay away from my brother."
Cheng Huilan turned around and left. Qin Juan said loudly, "I'm telling you this too. Tell your brother to stay away from me. I, Qin Juan, am young. I can find whatever I want. Why should I look for an old man in his thirties? I won't even look down on him if he's given to me for free. Get lost."
Cheng Huilan turned around and glared at him, "You!"
It was so infuriating. She had never been beaten like this in all her years. She was just a divorced woman. She had to find a way to get rid of this woman. This was a disaster.
Qin Juan was not afraid. She had endured enough in the years at the Zhao family, but what she got in return was endless humiliation and beatings. Now she is divorced, and she has earned her current life and achievements with her own hands and labor. Why should she still be scolded by these people here? What do they rely on?
Xiangxiang is right. She is Nian Nian's mother. Nian Nian takes her as an example in everything. If she is weak enough to let others bully her at will, how can others bully her daughter?
At this time, someone suddenly called out, "Sister. Why are you here?"
Qin Xiang turned around and saw that it was Cheng Jianjun who came over.
Cheng Jianjun was still wearing the work clothes of the beer factory. It was obvious that he rushed here in a hurry. I don't know if he heard what Qin Juan said just now.
With an anxious look on his face, he walked up to Cheng Huilan and said, "Sister, what are you doing here?"
"It's all for you." Cheng Huilan seemed to feel that she had found a backer, and looked at Qin Juan with a little pride, "I tell you, my brother will not like you, stay away from my brother in the future."
Then he pulled Cheng Jianjun again, pointed at his own face and said, "Jianjun, look, this woman was beaten by me, you'd better stay away from such a slut, otherwise you will be in trouble if you are contaminated by her. If you have me as your sister in your eyes, you should not associate with such a woman."
Cheng Jianjun was helpless, "Sister..."
Qin Juan looked at the two siblings and smiled, "You two siblings are so affectionate, so please stay away from us, it makes me sick."
Hearing this, Cheng Jianjun's face looked a little ugly, "Qin Juan..."
"Cheng Jianjun," Qin Juan interrupted him and said, "I'll say this for the last time. I have no plans to find a partner for a second marriage, and I don't think highly of your Cheng family. You saw what happened today. I haven't done anything yet, but your sister came to my house and shouted for war. If there really is something, I will admit it, but you and I have nothing to do with each other. It's obviously you who are making a fuss about me, but because of you, your sister insults me. Cheng Jianjun, please keep your distance, otherwise, I will go to the police station to report you for hooliganism."
Even now, the crime of hooliganism is still very serious. The most serious one can be punished by eating peanuts directly.
Cheng Jianjun's heart was as cold as an ice cellar, and he looked at Qin Juan in disbelief.
He thought Qin Juan's refusal was a woman's reluctance to accept, but he didn't expect that she really didn't care about him.
Cheng Jianjun stood there, unable to say a word.
Qin Juan said to the people around her, "Thank you, auntie, for testifying for me today. Thank you very much."
After that, Qin Juan turned around and walked into the door and closed it.
Cheng Jianjun was stunned and couldn't react. Cheng Huilan pulled him and said, "Let's go. No one cares about you. What are you doing here? Aren't you ashamed?"
Seeing the lively crowd disperse, Cheng Huilan wanted to drag Cheng Jianjun away quickly, but suddenly she stumbled and fell to the ground with a cry.
Qin Xiang quickly retracted her feet and shrank back. Cheng Huilan was helped by Cheng Jianjun to stand up and looked around, "Who stretched out his feet? Who tied me up?"
Unfortunately, no one answered. Cheng Huilan jumped in anger, her eyes fell on Qin Xiang, and she whispered, "Fox spirit."
Qin Xiang raised his hand and slapped him, "Fox spirit, who are you scolding?"
"Fox spirit scolding you." Cheng Huilan blurted out, and then she rushed up to fight Qin Xiang.
Qin Xiang was not afraid of her at all, and did not show any mercy to her. , directly grabbed Cheng Huilan's hair and slapped her twice, "If you want to bully someone, you have to choose the right target. Believe it or not, I will report it to you two and make you both drink a pot of wine? You are taking advantage of your power to bully others, but you don't even consider whether the person you are bullying is someone you can afford to provoke.
Several aunties hurriedly pulled them apart. Cheng Jianjun stomped his feet anxiously, "Sister, what are you doing? If your brother-in-law finds out, he will scold you again. Can't you just stop making trouble?"
"Even you bully me." Cheng Huilan was being held by someone, and she couldn't take revenge at this moment. She just sat on the ground and cried, "You all bully me."
The people around were speechless. Aunt Liu whispered, "It's because you are so mean. People are standing here and provoking you, but you have to be so mean. "
It's obvious that Cheng Huilan dislikes pretty girls and thinks that any pretty girl is a vixen who seduces her brother. People in the family compound are really annoyed by her.
Cheng Jianjun looked embarrassed and apologized to Qin Xiang quickly, "I'm sorry, she didn't mean it..."
"Do you want a dozen for such a talk?" Qin Xiang said and went straight to Qin Juan's house without even looking at Cheng Jianjun's expression.
At this time, Cheng Huilan realized that these two were sisters. Cheng Huilan wanted to seek justice, but was stopped by Cheng Jianjun. "Do you have to watch me jump from here to feel at ease?"
This sentence finally calmed Cheng Huilan down. Aunt Liu took the opportunity to say, "Let's all go."
Qin Xiang went over and knocked on the door. Qin Juan's voice came from inside, "Who?"
"It's me."
Qin Juan opened the door, and the anger on her face was replaced by joy. "Why did you come here at this time?"
Qin Xiang laughed, "But how did you know that my sister is so powerful?"
"You just know how to laugh at me, come in quickly." Qin Juan made way for her to come in, "Did you see everything just now?"
Qin Xiang nodded, "I happened to see the whole scene."
Qin Xiang looked at her sister and couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "You were very good just now, you have to be like this in the future, see who dares to bully you again."
"I have no choice." Qin Juan was deflated at this time. She sighed and said, "I had planned to go out early in the morning, but Cheng Huilan blocked me here. She gave me a lecture. I originally wanted to keep things quiet, but she wouldn't give in. I was also worried that I would set a bad example for Nian Nian, so I acted tough. I didn't expect that people are different when they are tough. They feel so good."
Qin Juan asked her to look at her hands, "You don't know that although I felt very happy after slapping her, my hands were shaking. I hurried home right after saying those harsh words."
Listening to her description, Qin Xiang could roughly understand Qin Juan's thoughts. The only time Qin Juan acted tough in her life was when she was divorced. Now she is in an environment she has just become familiar with, which requires great courage to do so again.
Qin Xiang gave her a thumbs up, "Sister, well done, I guess no one in the entire family compound will dare to bully you in the future."
"I'm afraid your image as a spoiled woman has also been deeply rooted in people's hearts." Qin Juan laughed, "It's good this way, so that those aunties and uncles don't have to keep thinking about introducing me to someone. They are all nice to me, and I feel embarrassed if I refuse too many of them. It saves me trouble this way."
The two talked for a while, and Qin Xiang said, "Where are Qin Zhen and Qin Mian?"
"They took Nian Nian to the nearby park to play early in the morning. I guess they will go to the store later. Thanks to them for taking Nian Nian out. Nian Nian has been better these days. It would be terrible if I see such a scene again. I have to go over too." Qin Juan packed up her things and went over, and Qin Xiang got up and went out with her.
The people watching the excitement outside had long gone, but the neighbors around secretly glanced at Qin Juan.
When she went downstairs, she met Aunt Liu, who greeted her as usual and even gave Qin Juan and her sister a thumbs up.
Aunt Liu looked at the sisters with a gossipy face and said, "I tell you, Cheng Huilan has been bullying in the compound for many years. Our factory director has beaten her countless times, but she just won't repent. No one in the compound likes her. The slaps you two gave us today made everyone very happy."
Qin Juan didn't think much of it at first, but suddenly asked, "Us?"
"Yes." Aunt Liu looked at Qin Juan and then at Qin Xiang who was laughing awkwardly on the side, and she laughed immediately, "After you entered the room, Cheng Huilan insisted on calling your sister a vixen, and then your sister gave her a scolding. Her face must be swollen like a pig's head now. She probably won't go out for some time."
Qin Juan was stunned and looked at her sister, "You did it for me, I know."
Qin Xiang shook her head, "No, I just can't stand it, and she could scold anyone else but me, so it's a good thing for her if I beat her up." Cheng Huilan
probably felt embarrassed after being insulted by Qin Juan, and as a result, she saw Qin Xiang's face that looked easy to bully. It's a pity that she needed to wash her eyes. She didn't know that Qin Xiang was a man who looked honest but was actually more powerful. She just kicked the horse's hoof.
The two sisters went to the university town together. Qin Xiang also told her about her plans. Qin Juan smiled and said, "You have your own ideas. I won't say much. Just take good care of yourself."
Qin Xiang nodded, "You too. In the future, the third brother will be in the provincial capital anyway. Remember to tell him if you have anything. Zhao Ping will not go to the capital for the time being. If the third brother is not here, you can find him. Don't be alone. You have to know that you have your family behind you."
"I know." Qin Juan looked at her helplessly, "I'm a few years older than you in vain. In front of you, you are more like an older sister and I am more like a younger sister."
Looking at Qin Xiang, Qin Juan said gratefully, "Xiangxiang, thank you."
If it weren't for Qin Xiang and the third brother, maybe she would still be living in the Zhao family with Nian Nian. Then what kind of life would be waiting for them in the future?
Qin Juan didn't dare to think of such a possibility.
Because of Qin Xiang's existence, she saw the courage of a woman and the hope of life. It was Qin Xiang who pulled her out of the quagmire and gave her a new life.
"We are sisters, so let's not talk about this."
The words she was going to say were no longer necessary. Qin Juan was a strong mother, and for Nian Nian, she would live bravely in the future. She had nothing to worry about.
Qin Yang had already bought the train ticket. On the 26th, Qin Xiang rushed back to Qingshui County to visit Principal Cao and Teacher Ning. On the evening of August 27th, Qin Xiang closed the two stores early, called everyone together, and went to a newly opened private restaurant nearby to set up two tables for a good meal.
Early in the morning on the 28th, Qin Xiang took her luggage and went to the train station with Qin Yang to catch the train. Just
after leaving the store, a familiar car stopped in front of the next door. The man got off the car in casual clothes. When he saw Qin Xiang, he smiled faintly, "What a coincidence."
