Chapter 11
"Do you think she's gone mad?"
Wang Junsheng's voice brought Cui Hong back to her senses. Fortunately, Cui Hong lowered her head out of habit at this moment, otherwise Wang Junsheng would have seen the panic on Cui Hong's face.
Cui Hong came back to her senses and said hurriedly, "Brother Junsheng, you are right. A woman should prioritize her family. She should be the woman behind her husband, allowing him to work with peace of mind. She should take good care of the elderly, children, and husband. This is what a woman should do. Whether or not she gets into college is really not that important to Xiangxiang. You are already a college student. She is already much luckier than other women."
Wang Junsheng agreed with her and couldn't help but marvel at Cui Hong's high level of ideological awareness. "You're absolutely right."
Cui Hong pursed her lips and said softly, "But don't hold it against Xiangxiang. She might have just made a mistake for a moment. She's envious of Xiaoxiao going to school." She smiled stiffly and said, "To be honest, I envy Xiaoxiao. No, I should say I envy the women in your family. They all have men who love them, unlike me..."
As she spoke, her voice became lower, and Wang Junsheng seemed to understand a little.
A woman like Cui Hong should find a capable man to protect and love her, but she ended up marrying Wang Qingshan, an illiterate and uncouth man who is not good-looking. It is indeed unfair to her.
Wang Junsheng sighed, "You've been wronged."
"That's not really a grievance." Cui Hong sighed and said firmly, "I'm just envious of Xiangxiang's good life. I don't envy others, I can endure hardships, I just envy Xiangxiang for having a man like you who loves her. For a woman to have a man like Junsheng love her, that's the real happiness."
Wang Junsheng felt particularly relieved after hearing this. Yes, he was a college student, had a promising future, and was also good-looking. Wasn't he much better than this country boy? Qin Xiang was just not satisfied.
Wang Junsheng now found Cui Hong particularly pleasing to the eye and consoled her, "Everything will be fine in the future."
Cui Hong smiled, her voice bleak, "That's all I am. I probably won't be loved by a man like Junsheng in this life."
Wang Junsheng's mind moved, and his brows furrowed slightly. The moonlight tonight was quite nice. When he looked up, Wang Junsheng met Cui Hong's admiring and gentle eyes, which gave him a strange feeling. A woman like Cui Hong was the woman suitable for him. However, Cui Hong had only graduated from junior high school, and her appearance was not as attractive as Qin Xiang.
Then he was startled and slapped his forehead. What was he thinking? He was married, Cui Hong was also married, and Cui Hong and Qin Xiang were good friends.
However, Cui Hong was startled and quickly grabbed Wang Junsheng's hand, "Brother Junsheng, why are you doing this? Go hit yourself. It hurts."
The heartache in his tone could not be concealed.
She immediately reacted and quickly let go of Wang Junsheng's hand, her voice filled with tears, "Brother Junsheng, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Even though it was dark and there was moonlight, Wang Junsheng was startled by the touch just now. He wanted to scold her, but seeing Cui Hong crying so hard, he couldn't bear it. "It's okay, you didn't mean it. It's getting late. You should go back early. It's not good for people to see you."
Cui Hong bit her lip and looked at him eagerly, "Brother Junsheng, you won't blame me, right?"
Wang Junsheng sighed, "No."
He could vaguely sense Cui Hong's feelings. After all, he was one of the rare outstanding men in the neighborhood. Every time he came back and saw the country girls, some would secretly look at him. Even if Cui Hong liked him, that was normal. But since the two of them were destined to have no future, was he still not lovable? That would be too cruel for Cui Hong.
"Go back quickly, I'll watch here."
Wang Qingshan's family lives to the east of Wang Junsheng's family. There is no other resident to the east except Wang Qingshan's mother. There are threshing grounds in front and behind, so they are not afraid of being seen.
Cui Hong bit her lip and nodded, "Okay, thank you, Junsheng brother. You can't tell Xiangxiang, I'm afraid she will misunderstand."
Wang Junsheng nodded, "I know."
After Cui Hong returned home, looking back every few steps, Wang Junsheng also sighed and went home. Perhaps it was because he knew that someone secretly liked him, he felt very comfortable in his heart. This feeling was wonderful, but it also seemed to be the way it should be.
His good mood faded a little when he entered the house. Qin Xiang didn't even wait for him. He came back late just to make his attitude clear, but Qin Xiang had no intention of reconciling with him at all.
This is a competition with him.
Wang Junsheng lit the kerosene lamp, washed his face and brushed his teeth in the room, then got on the kang and lay down next to Qin Xiang. Qin Xiang closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Wang Junsheng felt that he should take the initiative. On the train back, he heard a few men talking dirty, meaning that sometimes women say no but actually want it very much. Wang Junsheng thought, maybe he could give it a try?
He took the initiative again. If Qin Xiang still made a fuss, he would have to think of other ways.
Wang Junsheng hugged Qin Xiang through the quilt and kissed her. Qin Xiang opened her eyes instantly and kicked him.
Unfortunately, the kick landed right on his lower genitals, causing him to curl up like a shrimp. Wang Junsheng gritted his teeth in pain, "Qin Xiang, what are you doing? Are you crazy?"
Qin Xiang looked at him with disgust, and wiped the dirt on her face that she had accidentally touched. She was nauseated and said, "Wang Junsheng, I should be the one asking you this. What are you doing?"
Wang Junsheng curled up, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. It was indeed very painful. It took him a long time to recover. His whole body was frozen. He shivered as he went into bed. He thought he was disabled just now, so his mood was naturally not very good.
Seeing that he was silent, Qin Xiang lay down on the other side. She was so angry that she said to Wang Junsheng, "Wang Junsheng, don't touch me or get close to me before we make a decision, otherwise I will feel disgusted."
Wang Junsheng was furious, "We are husband and wife."
"Soon it won't be." Qin Xiang said angrily, "More completed articles are available at 86yiqiqi3304. When your family doesn't treat me as a family, I don't want to be a family with you anymore. If you don't let me go to college, you are ruining my future. If I ruin your future, can you talk to me properly?"
Wang Junsheng gritted his teeth, "That's different."
Qin Xiang: "It's the same to me."
After saying that, Qin Xiang ignored Wang Junsheng. Wang Junsheng lay there feeling very uncomfortable.
They are both women, why is there such a big difference?
Wang Junsheng couldn't help but think of Cui Hong. He was very touched by Cui Hong's gentleness and thoughtfulness just now, and his depressed mood in the past few days was temporarily relieved.
He even thought indignantly that Qin Xiang didn't care about him, but there was someone who did, and she was a beautiful woman.
With this in mind, Wang Junsheng went out again early the next morning, and just as he had guessed, he met Cui Hong again behind the village.
The moment she saw Wang Junsheng, Cui Hong's eyes lit up with excitement and fascination, "Brother Junsheng, you're out to relax again."
———
It was also a coincidence that Qin Xiang woke up early today. When Wang Junsheng left, she heard the noise. She had originally been lying there, not wanting to move, but then she remembered that she had to go back to her parents' home today, so she got up early.
After washing her face, she went out to the toilet but didn't see Wang Junsheng. However, she saw the courtyard gate was open. She went out of the gate and looked around, and saw Wang Junsheng and Cui Hong talking and laughing as they came from the east.
The moment Cui Hong saw her, her face was filled with panic, then her face turned pale, and the things in her hands fell to the ground, "Xiangxiang..."
It was as if he had done something to offend Qin Xiang.
After Cui Hong's gentle persuasion in the morning, Wang Junsheng's mood was not so bad now.
But for some reason, when facing Qin Xiang at this moment, he felt a little guilty, like a man who had done something bad and was caught by his wife.
Then he calmed down again. "Qin Xiang, don't you look down on him? This is a good opportunity for you to see that there are people who care about the man you don't care about, and there are people who care about the man you don't want." Besides, Cui Hong is Qin Xiang's good friend. It's just a few words to chat, so it's not a big deal.
Wang Junsheng said to Cui Hong gently, "It's cold, go back early."
But Cui Hong shook her head, walked up to Qin Xiang with a worried look on her face, and said, "Qin Xiang, it's not what you think."
Qin Xiang was amused. "What am I thinking?"
Cui Hong: "I..."
"We're just chatting." Wang Junsheng interrupted Cui Hong and said to Qin Xiang, "It's too cold. Let's go back."
Cui Hong looked anxious, as if she was really afraid that Qin Xiang would think too much.
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Alright, we just met and exchanged a few words. It's not a big deal. With our relationship, why should I worry about you? Go back. It's cold."
After saying that, Qin Xiang turned around and went back to the yard. Cui Hong wanted to cry but had no tears. She said to Wang Junsheng, "Brother Junsheng, I'm sorry. I really want to cause trouble for you."
Looking at her guilty expression and comparing it to Qin Xiang's, Wang Junsheng felt that Qin Xiang was making a fuss out of nothing. Since she trusted them, why did she just turn around and leave? He patiently said to Cui Hong, "Didn't she say she trusted us? We are upright and honest, and we are not afraid of what others say."
With that, Wang Junsheng put the firewood against the wall, put his hands in his pockets and went home.
Cui Hong stood there, her lips curled slightly. She felt that while some things couldn't be rushed, they couldn't be slowed down either. Some men weren't indestructible. Her strategy was sound, and her efforts were directed in the right direction. She just needed to find the right opportunity to break through this veneer of embarrassment. Compared to what she would gain in the future, the present humiliation and infamy were nothing.
Wang Junsheng entered the yard. Qin Xiang had already returned to the house. At this time, Cui Lianhua and Cai Hongyan, the two sisters-in-law, also got up.
Cai Hongyan saw that there was no fire in the kitchen and asked in confusion, "Isn't it the Third Brother's turn today? Why isn't there a fire?"
It was obvious that she was still in a bad mood. Cui Lianhua suppressed her anger and said, "If she doesn't want to do it, then you can do it. After all, you are still the eldest sister-in-law."
Cai Hongyan was immediately unhappy about being scolded for no reason. Wang Junsheng hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work."
Cai Hongyan held back her breath and didn't say anything, "Forget it, your wife is delicate and I'm a cheap person, I'll do it."
Then he went into the kitchen.
Wang Junsheng felt that Qin Xiang was being too much, so he pushed the door open and asked, "It's the third room's turn to cook today, why aren't you going?"
Qin Xiang looked at him strangely, "Aren't you from the third room?"
Wang Junsheng was stunned. "I am a man."
"What's wrong with men? Why don't men eat?" Qin Xiang laughed angrily. "You said it's the same whether we go to college or not. How can it be the same? If I were a college student now and you were the one relying on me for food, would you order me to cook? Ultimately, it's because you think women should be at home giving birth and raising children and supporting your family. If you like being served so much, why don't you just hire a nanny? Why ask me for help?"
Wang Junsheng thought she was being unreasonable. "We're just talking about cooking, why are you bringing up so much? My sister-in-law and mom are doing the work at home, so why can't you do it? I told you, I really won't apply to university with you."
Qin Xiang threw the book there and said loudly, "Then let's break up. Divorce! We must divorce."
Qin Xiang threw an envelope on the ground and said, "I didn't want to say it, but you have already exposed your intentions. In this case, let's say goodbye."
