Chapter 12
When the envelope fell, a piece of pink letter paper floated out.
The moment Wang Junsheng saw the letter, his face turned pale. He bent down to pick it up, and then he remembered the existence of the letter.
Qin Xiang sneered, "Do you have anything else to say?"
In her previous life, Qin Xiang had never thought of divorce, and she trusted Wang Junsheng too much, so she didn't pay attention to some things and really didn't know that Wang Junsheng would do such a thing.
Maybe even Heaven couldn't stand it anymore and was adding leverage to her divorce. Just now, she was casually flipping through a book Wang Junsheng had left on the bed, and unexpectedly, this letter fell out. She opened it and was truly amazed. The girl really liked Wang Junsheng. As expected of a college student, every word in the letter was truly heartfelt and affectionate. If she were a man, she would have been moved by the admiration and adoration in it.
A normal, uncaring man would have either returned a letter like this or dealt with it, but this one wasn't just opened; the envelope was frayed, and it must have been read countless times. It was clear the reader was deeply touched by the praise and admiration within, relishing the feeling. Thinking of how she had spent so many years with such a sanctimonious man in her past life, it was more irritating than eating a fly.
When Qin Xiang saw the envelope, she knew that God was on her side. This was solid evidence. If there was really nothing there, why would he bring it back? If she didn't make good use of this letter, she would be sorry for all the trouble she had gone through these days.
After she finished speaking, Wang Junsheng hurriedly explained, "I don't know why the letter was placed in my book..."
How could he say that? Although he looked handsome and had a good temperament in the countryside, he was really not good enough in the school in the capital, which was full of talented people. The outstanding and beautiful girls looked down on him, but he also wanted to have a social circle, so he met some classmates who had left the countryside. The girl who wrote the letter was from his province. Because they were from the same province, they talked more and interacted more.
When someone asked him if he had a girlfriend, he inexplicably said no. Gradually, the girl developed a crush on him and began to compliment him. He didn't dare do anything, but that didn't stop him from enjoying the admiration and praise. Even on this return trip, they had taken the same train, only to separate halfway through.
He thought he had left the letter in his dorm, but it unexpectedly fell out of his book. But if there was any truth to the story about him and that girl, he wouldn't admit it. Although he said he was single, he had no intention of dating anyone. The girl was average-looking, and compared to Qin Xiang, she had nothing to offer except her education. He just enjoyed the flattery.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Junsheng said, "You have to trust me on this. If I had any evil intentions, I wouldn't have married you in the first place. Since I married you, I will naturally protect you and live my life with you. But I can't stop others from thinking what they want, right? I was planning to find a chance to return this letter, but it happened to be a holiday and I somehow got it stuck in a book."
Seeing Qin Xiang's sarcastic expression, Wang Junsheng didn't dare to get angry about what happened in the past two days, and repeated, "You have to believe me."
However, Qin Xiang took the letter back. Wang Junsheng said anxiously, "Give it to me and I'll tear it up."
Qin Xiang would never give him the letter easily. This was all evidence. She said, "I'll keep it. I trust you on this matter. I believe you won't do those things."
Seeing this, Wang Junsheng breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at the letter, but did not dare to ask for it again, for fear that Qin Xiang would make a big deal out of it, and then he would really lose face.
"Just believe me. My heart is only with you and my studies. No other woman can compare to you." Wang Junsheng felt a lot more relaxed. When he looked at Qin Xiang, he was afraid that she would talk about divorce again.
After Wang Junsheng left, Qin Xiang put the letter directly into her pocket. If she left it in this room, Wang Junsheng might find it and take it away. She was going back to her parents' home today to look for her third brother, and she asked him to keep it for her.
Because of what happened this morning, even Wang Junsheng didn't dare to provoke Qin Xiang anymore, for fear that she would suddenly bring it up and embarrass him. After breakfast, Qin Xiang put on her backpack and prepared to go out. Cui Lianhua came in from outside, "Old Third, what are you doing?"
Qin Xiang said, "Go back to my mother's home."
Cui Lianhua was anxious and hurriedly called Wang Junsheng, "Third brother, Qin Xiang wants to go back to her parents' home to visit, you should go with her."
Wang Junsheng hurried out of the main hall, looked at her and said, "Aren't the New Year gifts due in a few days? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Qin Xiang: "Can't I go back to my parents' home without sending New Year's gifts?"
Wang Junsheng choked, "You know very well that's not what I meant."
"If that's not what you mean, then don't ask. I'm going back to my parents' home to discuss taking the college entrance exam. After all, my household registration is still there. If you want to come with me, go ahead. It's a good opportunity for my family to hear what your Wang family is really up to." Qin Xiang said and left. Wang Junsheng wanted to say more, but Cui Lianhua stopped him, "Forget it, let her go. You can go back in a few days."
At the same time, Cui Lianhua was also thankful that she had gone to Qinjiatun yesterday to talk to Qin Xiang's sister-in-law, who had promised her that she would definitely convince her mother-in-law. So she was not worried about Qin Xiang going back.
Cui Lianhua comforted her, "Just let her relax. She's obsessed with taking the college entrance exam. The more we try to stop her, the more she'll treat us as enemies. Why not let her go back to her parents' home? They're not unreasonable people. Will they let her act like a spoiled brat? By then, her parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law will try to persuade her, and the matter will probably be resolved."
When she first went to the Qin family to propose marriage, Qin Xiang was also making a fuss about wanting to repeat her studies. But when she laid out her conditions, the eldest sister-in-law of the Qin family was moved first. Then she and the matchmaker persuaded Qin Xiang's mother, so the marriage was settled, right?
Cui Lianhua was feeling proud, but her expression was sincere. "When it comes to the critical moment, your mother's family's words are still the most effective. Let's just wait and see. If you go along, people will think you did it on purpose. Let her family persuade them first. In a few days, you can go back and give them New Year gifts with the snacks and gifts you brought back from the capital. The Qin family won't be able to say you're wrong."
"I understand." Wang Junsheng was upset and still a little worried about the letter.
Seeing that Qin Xiang had disappeared, Wang Junsheng hurried back to the house to search, but he couldn't find the letter after searching the entire house. Wang Junsheng couldn't help but feel depressed, thinking that Qin Xiang didn't believe him at all.
He was also worried that Qin Xiang would use this letter to make trouble, and then he would be speechless.
——
Qinjiatun was twelve miles from Wangjiazhuang, not too far away, but it would still take an hour to walk there, or half an hour to ride a bike. The Wang family did have a bicycle, but Qin Xiang didn't use one and just walked home.
It was the end of the year, and the streets were becoming more crowded. I even ran into two former classmates along the way. They hadn't passed the college entrance exam their first year, but had repeated their studies the previous year and gotten into a junior college. They could now be called college students wherever they went.
When they saw Qin Xiang, the two classmates were surprised and felt sorry for her. "You studied so hard and well back then. We all thought you could pass the exam, but you got diarrhea and didn't. Our homeroom teacher was even sorry, thinking you would definitely pass if you repeated a year, but then you suddenly got married."
Another classmate, knowing her in-laws' situation, said, "Wang Xiao is your sister-in-law, right?"
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "For now."
The classmate didn't catch the hint and continued, "Even though you and her weren't close to begin with, I still have to tell you that she's a terrible person. She even spoke ill of you in school, implying that even if you took the college entrance exam, she wouldn't let you pass. I don't know where she got that confidence from."
Qin Xiang was stunned when she heard this. "Did she really say that?"
"She really said that," Zhang Hongmei said indignantly. She couldn't stand people like Wang Xiao. "That's exactly what she said at the time. She looked quite smug, like she had some secret. I wanted to tell you over the summer, but I was busy at school and didn't come to see you. Anyway, keep an eye on her."
Qin Xiang was not an ungrateful person, so he quickly thanked him.
After parting with his classmates, Qin Xiang thought about this matter as he walked.
How on earth could Wang Xiao prevent her from failing the exam?
Qin Xiang arrived at Qinjiatun with a lot of questions in his mind.
Qinjiatun is similar to Wangjiazhuang, with more plains. Because there are several water ponds near the river, the water flow is relatively good, and some rice is planted every year.
The crops in the fields at this time of year are winter wheat. After the snow a few days ago, it looked like it was covered with a thick quilt. Today the weather is good and the snow has melted a little. The wheat has revealed its dark green color and looks full of vitality.
There were almost no people in the fields at this time, and Qin Xiang didn't meet any villagers until he entered the village.
When they saw Qin Xiang, many people said, "Oh, the cadre's wife is back."
"The high school students are back."
"Why did Qin Xiang come back alone? Where is your college student?"
Maybe it was because she had a filter for her village, but Qin Xiang was still very happy when she looked at the people in the village.
Most of the people in Qinjiatun are surnamed Qin, and the village chief is also surnamed Qin, and he has a high prestige in Qinjiatun.
In her previous life, the incident between her and Wang Junsheng had happened after the millennium. When the villagers heard about it, they asked the village chief to ask her if she needed help. Although she didn't need any help later, Qin Xiang kept this kindness in mind.
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "I'm at home. I'll come back to see my parents first."
It's been like this all the way. When we meet someone, we just say hello, but people don't really ask questions to find out the reason.
Qinjiatun is located southwest of Wangjia Village, also at the east end of the village. It takes about ten minutes to walk all the way there after entering the village.
When I arrived at the door of my house, I saw some people watching the fun. Some people seemed to be persuading someone, and I could hear crying in the yard.
Qin Xiang frowned and went over, "Aunt Huaihua, what happened to my family?"
"Oh, Qin Xiang is back." Aunt Huaihua was not from the Qin family, so she didn't go over to persuade them. Seeing Qin Xiang coming, she pulled Qin Xiang aside to explain, "It's your eldest sister-in-law. Even after the family split up, she had to come to your mother and ask for money because she didn't have money for the New Year. Your mother doesn't have much money. She got it all when the family split up in the summer. As a result, your eldest sister-in-law refused to give in and said she was going to hang herself, saying that the Qin family would not give her a way out. Isn't your mother afraid?"
Qin Xiang understood after a brief explanation. Her sister-in-law, Tian Zhongmei, was no good. Cai Hongyan was bad, but only in an open way. If you gave her enough, she would flatter you. But her sister-in-law was different. She would not give up even if she saw a rabbit. She wanted more after getting the benefits and was completely unreasonable.
Her mother, Lian Fengying, was very different from Cui Lianhua. Cui Lianhua was capable of keeping her daughter-in-law in line, but her mother was soft-hearted and didn't know what to do when faced with problems. She had been bullied by her eldest sister-in-law in the past, and when her father decided to divide the family property in the summer, she didn't expect her eldest sister-in-law to still make trouble.
Qin Xiang also felt annoyed when she thought of her elder sister-in-law's greed in her previous life. Of course, she hated her elder brother even more. Her elder sister-in-law was bad and had no blood relationship with her, but her elder brother let her make trouble and even gave her advice. He was really immoral.
Qin Xiang nodded and thanked him, then pushed through the crowd and went in. She saw two aunts pulling Tian Zhongmei, who was about to hit her head against the wall. Tian Zhongmei kept shouting, "I don't want to live anymore. My life is so miserable. I married into such a poor family. I don't even have money for the New Year. I'd rather die by hitting myself."
The two aunts were there trying to persuade her, and Lian Fengying was wiping her tears.
Qin Xiang said, "Second Aunt, please let go of my sister-in-law and let her hit me. I'll see if she can kill herself today. If she does, I'll immediately give her money to buy her a good coffin."
