Chapter 14
Qin Yang's eyes widened when he heard this. "Did Wang Junsheng bully you, or did the Wang family bully you? I'll go find them."
Qin Yang was about to walk out when Qin Xiang hurriedly stopped him, "Third brother, listen to me."
Qin Yang frowned and said, "Let's talk inside."
Qin Xiang glanced at the main hall. Her father was talking about her mother. Qin Xiang sometimes felt powerless towards her mother. She had no backbone. Last year, when she got married, her mother cried and wiped her tears and tried her best to persuade her. She had a backbone, but she was bullied by her daughter-in-law.
After the brother and sister entered Qin Yang's room, Qin Xiang took out the letter and handed it to Qin Yang. Qin Yang saw it and was furious. "Is he having an affair with another woman?"
Qin Xiang knew her third brother had misunderstood, so she explained the situation and shared her thoughts on the Wang family's attitude regarding the college entrance exam. "Regarding this letter, I believe Wang Junsheng wouldn't dare to do anything out of the blue. He's just enjoying the feeling of being liked. But I've also seen clearly how his family behaves regarding the college entrance exam. I've also thought about it carefully. If they can act this way now, then when Wang Junsheng graduates and becomes a cadre, won't the whole family be so bossy and bossy over me?"
Qin Yang listened, frowned, and thought about it, then asked her, "Have you decided to divorce?"
Qin Xiang nodded seriously and replied, "I've made up my mind to get a divorce."
But just as Qin Xiang finished speaking, the door was pushed open and Lian Fengying stood at the door, saying, "You can't divorce."
Lian Fengying had just been scolded by Qin Baotian and wanted to come over to comfort her daughter, but she didn't expect to hear her daughter say that she wanted a divorce because of the college entrance examination. This was unacceptable. Divorce was unheard of in the countryside. How could this woman live after the divorce?
She pulled Qin Xiang's arm and said, "No wonder your mother-in-law said you were making a fuss at home about taking the college entrance examination. It's true. You're even so stubborn as to want a divorce."
Lian Fengying started to cry and beat Qin Xiang. "Tell me, what do you want to do? Whose daughter gets divorced after only one year of marriage? Aren't you afraid of losing face? Your father and I still have our dignity. Tell me, what do you want to do? You feel uncomfortable if we don't make a scene, right?"
Hearing this, Qin Xiang also became angry. She shook off her hand and looked at her and said, "So, you don't agree with me taking the college entrance examination?"
"I won't agree." Lian Fengying was particularly stubborn on this matter. She looked at Qin Xiang and said, "You really still won't give up. Do you think you can pass the college entrance examination? Don't you have to pay tuition fees every year? I tried to persuade you before, but you finally stopped talking about it. Now that we've been married for a year, why are you bringing it up again? How have the Wang family wronged you? They don't give you food or drink. Wang Junsheng is so promising, do you really have to do such a thing to disgust him?"
Lian Fengying's speech was so frustrating that Qin Xiang was about to explode. Why did she have such a mother? She was really angry. For a moment, she regretted coming back for help.
These things didn't happen in her previous life, and her parents were always satisfied with Wang Junsheng. Even after the incident between Wang Junsheng and Cui Hong broke out, her parents stood by her.
But she seemed to have overlooked one point: it was already after the millennium, and the countryside was developing rapidly. Because of her, her parents had also seen the outside world and knew that such things were intolerable. It was only the early 1980s, and for those of them who had never traveled far and had lived here for generations, accepting divorce was extremely difficult.
What's more, in their opinion, Wang Junsheng is a college student and will be a cadre in the future. Marrying into the Wang family is equivalent to falling into a good home. Why do girls study so much? Isn't it to find a good husband-in-law? If they have already found a good husband-in-law and still make a fuss, it means they are not satisfied.
Qin Xiang felt a pang of sadness in her heart and turned her head away. "I won't tell you this."
"Why can't you tell me?" Lian Fengying said to Qin Yang, "You are not allowed to fool around with her."
Qin Yang frowned, "Did the Wang family come to you about this?"
Qin Xiang was stunned and looked at her mother.
Lian Fengying said, "Now that we're here, how can we not come if our daughter-in-law insists on taking the college entrance examination? People will definitely ask us how we educate our children. You still want a divorce, are you afraid that we're too pretty? In short, I don't agree with your divorce. There's no such thing as divorce after you're married. Don't learn from those bad guys in the city. They're no good and have bad intentions. Junsheng is promising, and the Wang family treats you well. What are you dissatisfied with that you have to make such a fuss?"
Fengying even shed tears as she said these words, "Mom, please be quiet. I really can't take it anymore. Can you please let me be more careful? Don't you know how embarrassed I was when your mother-in-law asked me so softly?"
Looking at her mother like this, Qin Xiang felt powerless. She also guessed from her mother's words that Cui Lianhua had come to her mother to do ideological work, but she didn't know what she said to make her mother so excited at this moment.
Qin Xiang sighed, "Mom, you are quite strong and righteous with me, but if you were so strong with my brother and sister-in-law, would you still cry when being bullied?"
Lian Fengying shouted, "That's different."
"It's all the same to me." Since the day of her rebirth, Qin Xiang had always controlled her temper well. When it came to the Wang family, she could easily irritate them. That was because she didn't care about them and didn't consider them family. But what about her parents? They didn't even give their child a chance to explain, and had already made up their mind about the matter.
It wasn't until she learned what Wang Junsheng had done in her past life and how much property he had transferred that her mother finally believed him and cried, saying she was blind. Did she have to wait until then to cry and regret in this life? True, she didn't suffer any loss in the end, but what about the time she had lost? She had already lost time in her past life. Why would she sacrifice herself to fulfill others' wishes when she had a second chance?
Qin Xiang's hands were shaking. She looked at her mother and said, "You value face more than anything else, more than your daughter's future and fate. Why did I have diarrhea during the college entrance examination last year? It was because I ate the food my sister-in-law cooked. You didn't care about that, you just felt ashamed. You believed my sister-in-law's words and didn't want me to continue studying. You were so eager to marry me off. Now I want a divorce, but you're afraid of losing face. You don't feel ashamed when your son and daughter-in-law shit on you, and you feel ashamed when your daughter says a word. If that's the case, why didn't you drown me in the first place?"
Her words frightened Lian Fengying. She stared at Qin Xiang for a long time and asked, "Are you my daughter?"
Qin Xiang shook off her third brother's hand and said, "If you keep insisting like this, I might not be your daughter anymore."
"Qin Xiang, stop talking nonsense." Qin Yang looked at her and said, "Let's think this through and explain it to our parents. Divorce is not something that can be done overnight. We need to discuss this matter carefully."
Qin Xiang said nothing and went out directly. "That's it, just pretend I didn't come."
When she came out of the house, she saw her father standing in the yard. She turned her head to walk out. Qin Baotian asked, "Do you really want a divorce?"
Qin Xiang nodded, "Yes, I want a divorce, and I want to go to college."
Qin Baotian: "If the Wang family can agree to let you go to college, will you not get divorced?"
Qin Xiang laughed angrily, "Do you think they can agree?"
Qin Baotian didn't understand. "Why don't you agree? If you really want to take the exam, it will bring honor to the Wang family if you can pass."
"Because I got into college, they feel like they can no longer control me, and they can no longer suppress me." Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Dad, I haven't figured out what to do about this matter yet, so you and Mom can just pretend you don't know."
She understood that divorce was really difficult these days, and she hadn't planned to tell her parents so early, but she didn't expect her mother to have overheard it. If her mother really told the Wang family about this, then the matter would be really difficult to handle.
These two reasons may hold water in the future, as it can be said that emotions and life philosophies are incompatible, but they are untenable today.
Lian Fengying chased out and asked angrily, "What the hell are you doing?"
Before Qin Yang could say anything, Qin Baotian said, "Dad thinks getting married is not easy, and finding a suitable partner is not easy either. Wang Junsheng is the most promising young man in the area. Dad doesn't want you to regret your impulsiveness in the future."
Qin Xiang was disheartened at this moment, "I know."
After saying that, he left.
After a while, Qin Yang caught up with her and said, "You are quite angry, girl. Are you angry that Third Brother didn't stand on your side just now?"
Qin Xiang snorted without saying anything and walked back.
Qin Yang was not angry. He followed her out of the village. People kept greeting him along the way. Qin Yang was afraid that others would hear him, so he kept silent. When they were outside the village and there were no people around, Qin Yang tugged at Qin Xiang's clothes and said, "Oh, that's enough. You can be angry with anyone but not with me. What's the matter? Do you still want to break up with me?"
Qin Xiang snorted, "That's right, I want to break up with you."
"Tsk. This girl." Qin Yang reached out and stroked Qin Xiang's head twice and said, "Third brother asks you, do you really not want to live with Wang Junsheng anymore?"
Qin Xiang nodded, "Yes."
Qin Yang pursed his lips and nodded, "Okay, I approve."
Hearing this, Qin Xiang burst out laughing. "What's the point of your approval? Can you still hold Wang Junsheng down and force him to agree to write a certificate for me?"
Qin Yang rolled his eyes at her and said, "It's not impossible."
You know what, this is indeed an idea, but I guess his silly sister wouldn't agree to it.
Seeing that his third brother seemed to really think so, Qin Xiang couldn't help laughing.
But her irritability was also calmed down by her third brother's words. She looked at Qin Yang and said, "Third brother, thank you for supporting me."
"You're my sister after all." Qin Yang laughed. "You've always been a very opinionated girl, and you're always bold in everything you do. Now that you've made up your mind, I don't want to try to persuade you anymore."
Qin Xiang smiled and nodded, "Third brother, thank you. As for my parents..."
"I'll tell them I'll keep this a secret for now. When you feel like you can get a divorce, I'll convince them. I won't be going out during the New Year holidays. I'll just stay home. Even if someone from the Wang family comes, they won't dare say anything to my face." Qin Yang had been traveling a lot for the past few years, so he knew how vast the world was. He'd even heard people say during his trips south that divorce was perfectly normal in Hong Kong, and even abroad. Why should his sister have to suffer in marriage? If she wasn't happy, she could get a divorce. A girl as outstanding as his sister couldn't find any man she wanted.
Qin Yang said, "Let's go, I'll take you back."
Qin Xiang also wanted to talk to her third brother, so she followed Qin Yang to Wangjiazhuang.
On the way, Qin Xiang asked Qin Yang about his development outside. Qin Yang said, "It's pretty good, but it's still hard for people who are not brave enough to develop. Your third brother is just working as a thug to earn some hard-earned money."
Qin Xiang laughed and said, "Third brother, you are a very capable person. You will definitely achieve great things in the future."
Hearing this, Qin Yang raised his eyebrows and laughed. He reached out and stroked her head and said, "Little girl also knows these things."
"Of course." Qin Xiang said proudly, "I'm going to go to college in the future."
Qin Yang nodded, "Third brother believes in you."
In fact, Qin Yang hadn't been very happy with Wang Junsheng when he met him last year, but by then his sister and Wang Junsheng were already married. He'd said something in private, only to be scolded by her parents, and he'd never mentioned it again. As for now, his sister was planning a divorce, and he said it was pointless, so he'd better help his sister resolve the matter.
Qin Xiang was also very happy to be able to talk with her third brother. The two had been good friends since childhood, and now they felt even more intimate. They talked and laughed along the way, and it was a rare moment of relaxation.
Wang Junsheng didn't expect that Qin Xiang would bring back the biggest troublemaker of the Qin family when she returned to her parents' home. Thinking about his private meeting with Cui Hong in the past two days, he felt a little guilty.
Could it be that Qin Xiang suspected something and then asked this troublemaker to deal with him?
