Chapter 1
Qin Xiang never thought that she would divorce Wang Junsheng.
After all, Wang Junsheng was a graduate of a key university in the village. He was intelligent and handsome, and after graduation, he'd been assigned a job by the government, meaning he was a cadre. Everyone would say he had a bright future. When people from all over the village talked about college students, the first person they thought of was Wang Junsheng.
Qin Xiang was a female student who failed the college entrance examination. Although she had a pretty face, she had nothing and her family was not very supportive. It was definitely a step up for her to marry Wang Junsheng. It was only because Wang Junsheng was filial and listened to his parents that he married Qin Xiang. Otherwise, how could Qin Xiang become the wife of a cadre?
Many people say that Qin Xiang is lucky, and Qin Xiang once thought so too.
The couple has been married for more than 20 years. They have suffered hardships together and experienced all kinds of misunderstandings. Although there have been some unsatisfactory aspects, they have finally come to know each other and fall in love. They have also been envied and praised by others and called a fairy couple.
In the late 1980s, the entrepreneurial boom came. Qin Xiang could not bear to see Wang Junsheng being excluded in the unit, so she tightened her belt and gritted her teeth to support Wang Junsheng in starting his own business. Wang Junsheng was indeed capable and lived up to everyone's expectations. He overcame all obstacles and became a well-known entrepreneur in China, building a huge business.
As a good wife, Qin Xiang is envied and admired by many people.
The husband is considerate, the children are filial, and the parents-in-law are loving.
Everyone said that if you marry into a family like this, you should cling to the high branch, maintain the family well, and enjoy endless wealth for the rest of your life.
Until her best friend Cui Hong, whom she once considered a confidant and helped wholeheartedly, showed her a photo of herself and Wang Junsheng making out and said, "Xiangxiang, look how sweet we are together. Junsheng said that when he's with you, it's like his left hand touching his right hand, so boring. Only with me can he feel the feeling of first love, and his heart becomes young again. You're my best sister, you definitely don't mind, right?"
Only then did Qin Xiang realize that everything in the past was fake.
The affectionate husband is hypocritical, and the close girlfriend will only stab her in the back, always hoping to get rid of her and take her place.
At this time, everyone was still persuading her: This is what happens when a man has money. At least he didn't bring anyone home. You are still Mrs. Wang, whom everyone envies. Your children are grown up. Even for the sake of your children, you can turn a blind eye. Life has to go on. You can't get along with anyone but money. If you leave Wang Junsheng, you are not even Mrs. Wang. Aren't you just getting away with that woman?
Even her children said, "Look at your face, it's not young anymore, but my dad is still so elegant. He's busy with business and has a lot of affairs outside. You should get used to this kind of thing. We, as his children, can't interfere in his affairs, but he said that even if he has someone else, we will still be the heirs, so for our sake, please don't offend him. As for Aunt Cui, she is your best friend, and you brought her into our family. She has taken care of us for so many years, and we are grateful to her. It's not easy for us to say anything about her at this point. You don't want your children to be ungrateful, right?"
Qin Xiang thought this was all bullshit.
She no longer wants to be a good wife, nor does she want to be a filial son or grandson. She will make anyone who makes her unhappy unhappy.
Who would have thought that just when she had brought her enemy to ruin and was about to enjoy her single life, she was reborn to keep up with the fashion.
When Qin Xiang knew that she was reborn, she was unexpectedly relieved.
After her divorce in a previous life, she brought her legal team to fight for a large portion of her family fortune. She donated everything except what she kept for herself. She cleaned up what needed to be cleaned up, threw away what needed to be thrown away, and vented her anger. She also made arrangements with her parents. She was so angry about her children's attitude that she even wrote a will stating that her property would have nothing to do with the two ungrateful people after her death.
Putting aside the people and things that once made her unhappy, she let go of the grudges from her previous life.
Although she lost her luxury house and car after her rebirth, she suddenly looked much younger. Her wrinkles were gone, and her figure was back, which was a huge benefit. Most importantly, her parents were healthy, her third brother was still single, and her sister was still alive and well. Even if she was in trouble now, how could she, who had lived for over forty years and was accustomed to seeing monsters and demons, still be afraid of this?
So she felt that God was kind to her and gave her a chance to start over, and she didn't feel reluctant to part with the material possessions from her previous life.
The 1980s were a time when even a pig standing on the cusp of the wind could take off. Not only was there gold everywhere, but the opportunities were unprecedented decades later. She had experienced so much in her past life, and she had both the ability and the vision. Why would she stay in the Wang family, a den of wolves, and dedicate herself to them?
She wanted a divorce, and she had to get it quickly, preferably before spring. Then she could start her money-making scheme.
There's no point in dating someone, making money is more important than that. When she has money and becomes a wealthy woman, will she still need a man? Maybe he can even raise a little wolfdog to make her happy.
The only bad thing was that the timing of her rebirth was inappropriate. She had been married to Wang Junsheng for a year at this time. Now Wang Junsheng was on his way back from vacation.
As far as she could remember, she and Wang Junsheng had just had a wedding banquet and became de facto married last year. They only got their marriage certificate together this winter when Wang Junsheng returned. If they really wanted a divorce, it would be easy. They just had to convince Wang Junsheng, and then they could go to the brigade secretary together to write a certificate and get it stamped with an official seal to confirm the divorce.
The biggest difficulty now is how to convince Wang Junsheng to divorce her and still get away with it.
Before I could think about it, there was a knock on the door.
Qin Xiang came back to her senses when she heard a familiar voice outside, "Old Third, are you up yet?"
"I'll get up right away." Qin Xiang shook off the messy thoughts, responded with a frown, and pulled out the cotton coat and trousers to cover herself in the quilt. After she felt warm, she struggled to put them on under the quilt.
Just as they were getting off the kang, Cui Lianhua said, "Old Third's wife, Junsheng will be back this afternoon. Remember to clean up the house today."
"I know." Qin Xiang felt nauseous when she heard Wang Junsheng's name. She responded and then neatly braided her long hair into a popular pigtail. When she was looking for a hair tie, she saw the red hair tie on the table, frowned in disgust, and then took out a black rubber band and tied it at the end of her hair.
There was a washstand next to the window at the door. Qin Xiang poured some hot water from the thermos, washed her face and brushed her teeth, then looked up at the large mirror hanging on the window frame.
The woman in the mirror was no more than twenty years old, with thick black hair, fair skin, delicate features, a pair of clear and bright almond-shaped eyes, and slightly upturned lips. She was a feast for the eyes, and even though her face was a little rough, it was difficult to conceal her beauty.
This is her in her youth, a beautiful girl known throughout the surrounding villages. She was a rare high school graduate, literate and well-educated, with a good reputation. Many young men admired her and wanted to marry her. Last year, she married Wang Junsheng, a well-known university student. While many felt sorry for her, they also felt they were a perfect match. One wonders what will happen when she and Wang Junsheng divorce.
She smiled, and the people inside smiled too. She frowned, and the people inside frowned too. Whether she was crying or laughing, her face was incredibly beautiful. She almost fell in love with her own face when she looked at it.
Qin Xiang put her hand on her face and a happy smile appeared on her face.
She, Qin Xiang, is back again.
Before she even left the house, she could hear Cui Lianhua and her two sisters-in-law talking outside. Qin Xiang didn't care. She was going to get a divorce anyway, so she didn't want to care about what they said. There was no need to flatter them and try to improve her impression in front of people she didn't like.
When she opened the door, a gust of cold wind rushed towards her collar, making her shiver and miss her mansion. But then she looked back on it. The past was just a passing cloud. Now that she was back in the 1980s, she wanted to build her own future and build her own mansion.
Hearing the noise, the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and the other two stopped talking and looked towards Qin Xiang.
Second sister-in-law Yu Qiaomei envied Qin Xiang very much, thinking that Qin Xiang looked like a city girl, beautiful and educated, unlike her with an ordinary face and rough skin, and she could be seen even in a crowd. As for eldest sister-in-law Cai Hongyan, she was jealous of Qin Xiang. She was jealous that although they both married into the Wang family, she married a farmer, while Qin Xiang married a university student and would enjoy the good fortune of becoming an official's wife in the future.
Cai Hongyan said in a hoarse voice, "Hey, third sister-in-law, you're finally up. You've been lying down for three days. Even your delicate body must have recovered, right? It's just right that third brother is back today. Let him see how his wife is filial to the elderly on his behalf. The food is served in the house, and all that's missing is Mom bringing the foot washing water."
"Stop talking. Qin Xiang is feeling unwell." After scolding her eldest daughter-in-law, Cui Lianhua said to Qin Xiang with a gentle look, "She doesn't have bad intentions, she just has a sharp tongue. Don't pay any attention to her."
Seeing that her mother-in-law was partial to her, Cai Hongyan was very indignant. She snorted and went into the kitchen.
Cui Lianhua ignored Cai Hongyan and just smiled at Qin Xiang, "Don't be angry. Mom cooked some eggs for you. Eat them later to replenish your body. If you still feel uncomfortable, eat and lie down. Junsheng won't be back until the afternoon."
Qin Xiang really didn't want to bother with Cai Hongyan, mainly because she had paid enough attention to her in her previous life, but she didn't dare to regard the seemingly gentle and kind Cui Lianhua as a good person.
In her previous life, Cai Hongyan was a top-notch person, and her mother-in-law was a big boss, an old-fashioned white lotus, who loved to praise one among her daughters-in-law and suppress the other. So just listen to Cui Lianhua's words. If you take them seriously, you will be the one who suffers in the end.
Just like Cui Lianhua's current efforts to be nice to Qin Xiang, it would not only fail to solve the problem, but would also make Cai Hongyan even more dissatisfied with her. However, if you don't eat eggs, you're stupid. Qin Xiang doesn't care whether her sister-in-law is angry or not.
After finishing breakfast with a worried look on their faces, no one noticed that Qin Xiang was any different from before.
The rest of the family went about their business. Qin Xiang went back to her room to pack up her belongings. Just after lunch, someone suddenly called her from outside, "Qin Xiang, are you home?"
The voice is gentle and soft, refreshing in the winter.
She used to like this voice very much and even said with a smile that if she were a man, she would also be fascinated by it. But then one day, this voice really fascinated a man, and that man was her former husband Wang Junsheng.
Qin Xiang opened the window curtain and looked outside, and saw the young Cui Hong standing in the yard, fidgeting with her fingers and looking nervous.
It was already the twelfth lunar month and the weather was very cold. Cui Hong was wearing a light red waisted jacket. Her waist was slender, her chest was plump, her butt was perky, her face was the size of a palm, her chin was pointed, her nose was straight, and her beautiful big eyes were filled with anxiety and uneasiness. What a pitiful beauty she was.
If this happened in later generations, many people would like this look, but unfortunately this was the 1980s, and in the eyes of the elders, this was the look of a restless vixen.
In contrast, Qin Xiang's beauty is more pure and bright, with bright almond eyes on an oval face, which makes people like her easily. She looks non-aggressive and easy to control.
So when she learned that Qin Xiang hadn't been admitted to university, Cui Lianhua immediately went to the Qin family with generous gifts, first convincing her brother and sister-in-law, then her parents, and the marriage was almost a done deal. Furthermore, because she had failed the college entrance examination, her family wouldn't let her repeat it. She was heartbroken and desperate, so she decided to marry someone who could be a college student.
Cui Hong's marriage had always been difficult because of her appearance. After Qin Xiang got married, Cui Hong suddenly met Wang Qingshan, who was also from Wangjiazhuang. The two quickly got married and lived next door to the Wang family. The two families were actually related in some way. As for the reason for the marriage, she didn't ask, fearing that Cui Hong would be unhappy. She just often stayed with Cui Hong to comfort her.
Thinking about the bloody fate of the two in past and present lives, a smile gradually appeared in Qin Xiang's eyes. "Why did you come here at this time? But you came at a coincidence. Junsheng will be back in the afternoon. The family has prepared good food. You can stay for dinner then."
Cui Hong's eyes flickered slightly, and when she thought of the handsome and tall man's smile, her heart suddenly became confused again.
