Chapter 17
It is said that those involved in the matter are often confused, while those who are watching can see things clearly. Qin Xiang followed them and became more and more certain that these two people were hiding something from her.
Although she felt sorry for Wang Qingshan, she was not so noble as to separate the two of them, especially since Cui Hong might be the one who took action first, so it was even more impossible for her to inform Wang Qingshan at this time.
On the way, Cui Hong wanted to get off and let Qin Xiang take over, but Qin Xiang shook her head and said, "Forget it. You look pale, and your body is not in good condition. You need to take good care of yourself. You can sit down. I can walk. I don't feel tired."
Cui Hong whispered, "It's not good for others to see this."
"It's okay. What can I say if I follow others? At most, you can just get off when you get to the village entrance."
Wang Junsheng looked at Qin Xiang and said disapprovingly, "Xiangxiang."
Qin Xiang hummed indifferently. Cui Hong sighed, "Thank you for your help, Uncle San."
The voice was a little louder, but it was referring to the seniority of the Wang family.
Wang Junsheng didn't feel relieved, but rather panicked. He didn't dare look Qin Xiang in the eye, nor did he dare look at Cui Hong, for fear that he would show any different emotions and let Qin Xiang find out.
When Cui Hong was about to get off at the village entrance, she ran into Qin Xiang's second aunt. Pang Xiuju glanced at Cui Hong and then at Wang Junsheng, and couldn't help frowning. Qin Xiang hurried over to greet her second aunt.
Pang Xiuju thought she was overthinking it. Qin Xiang and Cui Hong had always had a good relationship. She smiled and said, "Are you guys coming back to give me New Year's gifts?"
Qin Xiang nodded, and Pang Xiuju asked Cui Hong again, "Cui Hong, where is your man? Why did you come back with Xiang Xiang and the others?"
Cui Hong bit her lip and said, "My husband is still in the county and hasn't come back yet. I was worried that my mother would be waiting anxiously, so I came here first."
Pang Xiujiu had something else to do, so she chatted with Qin Xiang for a few minutes and then left.
As the three of them entered the village, they met a lot of people. Many of them were returning to their parents' homes to give New Year gifts.
Qin Xiang and Cui Hong were famous figures in the village back then, and many people came to greet them along the way. Regardless of what they said in private, they were polite to each other in public.
When they arrived at the Qin family's door, Cui Hong took her gift and said goodbye to Qin Xiang, "I can go back by myself in the afternoon."
Qin Xiang said, "It's okay, let's go together."
Cui Hong pursed her lips and looked at Wang Junsheng. Seeing that Wang Junsheng didn't look at her, she felt a little uncomfortable. "Okay, thanks to you, Xiangxiang."
When they entered the Qin family's house, Qin Baotian and Lian Fengying were not at home, so Qin Yang said, "Wait a minute, I'll go call them."
When they arrived at the field and found Qin Baotian and his wife, Qin Yang carefully instructed his parents before following them in.
Wang Junsheng saw that the Qin family treated him no differently and Qin Yang no longer threatened him, so he slowly relaxed.
At noon, the couple had lunch at Qin's house. Even if Qin Yang didn't tell them, Lian Fengying and her husband would not take the initiative to talk about divorce. They were the older generation and they still cared about whether it was auspicious or not. They couldn't talk about something as unlucky as divorce when they came to give New Year gifts.
After noon, Lian Fengying urged them to go back. When they got outside, Cui Hong was already waiting. Seeing them come out, she smiled shyly and said, "Let's go."
Qin Yang stood at the door and watched the three people leave. Lian Fengying waited until they were out of sight before asking, "Why did Cui Hong come back with them?"
Hearing this, Qin Yang realized that what he had been guessing in his mind had finally been solved. Wasn't it a ready-made thing?
After returning home, Cui Hong thanked him and went home. Wang Junsheng said to Qin Xiang, "Don't let a third person get involved between us."
Qin Xiang looked at him and said, "Cui Hong is not someone else, she is my friend."
Although I feel disgusted every time I mention it, I have to mention it.
Wang Junsheng frowned and felt that he had to find an opportunity to explain things to Cui Hong. He really admired Cui Hong, but he didn't dare do anything to let Qin Xiang down. Cui Hong's change of attitude towards him made him a little panicked. His brother-in-law really scared him.
With this thought in mind, Wang Junsheng was eager to resolve the situation. He could tell that Cui Hong loved him deeply. He had also witnessed many cases of love-struck madness in the capital, and he was afraid that one day Cui Hong would cause trouble. The blow to him would be fatal, and he would really have no way to survive.
However, before he could meet Cui Hong, Wang Qingshan came back to celebrate the New Year.
Yes, the Chinese New Year is coming in a few days.
Qin Xiang noticed that Wang Junsheng was a little anxious, so she asked him, "Wang Junsheng, after the New Year, I'll go to the school to ask about repeating the year. Whether your family agrees or not, I've made my decision. We haven't got a marriage certificate yet anyway, so I'll just leave and we'll just call it a day."
Wang Junsheng had been avoiding Qin Xiang for the past few days, but Qin Xiang still caught him. He suddenly became anxious and angry, and couldn't help but shout, "You want to divorce me? No way. I won't divorce you. Although we don't have a marriage certificate, we are in a de facto marriage. If you dare to leave, I will find you at school. If you get into college, I will chase you there too."
After saying that, the man went out again.
After a few days of silence, the Wang family began to panic again. Cui Lianhua urged Wang Junsheng to give in to Qin Xiang, "Why don't we just agree to her request and let her take the exam. She might not pass. If she has diarrhea once, she'll have it twice. I don't believe she can pass."
But Wang Junsheng didn't think this was a good idea at this point. Instead, he thought it was a bad idea. Furthermore, his mindset was different now. The more Qin Xiang insisted, the less willing he was to give in. If he did, he'd have to keep giving in for the rest of his life. He looked at Cui Lianhua and said, "Mom, listen to me on this. She can't participate. If she does, it'll be really wild."
Cui Lianhua was worried, "But what if she brings up divorce again?"
Wang Junsheng said, "If I don't agree and don't sign, she can't get a divorce. Tell Wang Fusheng not to give her a letter of introduction. Without a letter of introduction, she can't even go to the county, let alone take the college entrance exam."
"But her household registration is not with us. What if she goes back to her parents' home to get a letter of introduction?"
Wang Junsheng frowned, "Then go tell the Sun family at the entrance of the village. Isn't the old lady at her door always basking in the sun? If she sees Qin Xiang leaving the village, please let us know."
Cui Lianhua sighed, "It's New Year's Day, and there's really no peace."
Having said that, Cui Lianhua still went to the Sun family with generous gifts.
Qin Xiang just wanted a peaceful life. Whenever she caught Wang Junsheng, she would bring up the matter of divorce. Wang Junsheng was very annoyed. On the evening of the 29th day of the lunar year, he went out in a irritable state and saw Cui Hong collecting firewood by the south wall.
When Cui Hong saw Wang Junsheng, her eyes immediately turned red. Wang Junsheng was upset and wanted to find an opportunity to explain things to Cui Hong, so he inevitably walked over there.
Cui Hong said, "Brother Junsheng, I know what you mean. I'll wait for you at the old place back there at nine o'clock tomorrow night." She looked at him with a smile and said, "I know you want to get rid of me. I love you and don't want to embarrass you. Let's talk it out then, and no one will owe anyone anything."
After saying that, Cui Hong carried firewood into the yard.
Wang Junsheng pursed his lips, feeling relieved but also vaguely regretful.
With someone to compare them to, Wang Junsheng could see the difference between the two women. However, no matter how bad Qin Xiang's temper was, she was still the woman he married. If he wanted to develop a good relationship in the future, he couldn't easily change his wife. No matter how good Cui Hong was, she could only be a confidante at best, not to mention that she was the wife of his nephew from another family, which was even worse.
Wang Junsheng sighed and turned to go home, thinking about how to tell Cui Hong this sentence when the time comes.
Qin Xiang watched coldly, ignoring everything. She just wanted to see when Cui Hong would finally give up. She didn't believe Cui Hong would continue to have an affair. That woman was very tolerant.
On the morning of New Year's Eve, Wang Xiao took some money and a soy sauce bottle and went out to buy some. On the way, he ran into Cui Hong, who came over and said to him, "Xiao Xiao, at 9:30 p.m., I'll show you something in the wheat field east of the village."
Wang Xiao's heart skipped a beat. "What are you looking at?"
Cui Hong smiled softly and said, "Don't you dislike Qin Xiang the most? This matter is related to Qin Xiang. You must not tell her or your family."
Wang Xiao blinked, a sudden thought coming to her mind: Could it be that Qin Xiang had a strange man outside and was looking for an excuse to keep quarreling with her third brother? What exactly did Cui Hong want her to see?
After saying this, Cui Hong left, but Wang Xiao was scratching his head in his heart, wanting to know what exactly was going on about Qin Xiang.
In the evening, the Wang family had a reunion dinner with a rich variety of dishes. After the meal, Qin Xiang got up and went back to the house. Cui Lianhua frowned, "Qin Xiang, today is New Year's Eve, aren't you going to stay up all night with everyone?"
Qin Xiang said, "Not interested."
After saying that, she went out. Cui Lianhua wanted to say more, but Wang Xiao stopped her, "Mom, don't bother with her. Let her do whatever she wants."
Turning around and seeing Wang Junsheng looking a little absent-minded, Wang Xiao didn't take it seriously and stood up and said, "I'm going out to play. I'll be back later."
If you want to see Qin Xiang's excitement, you naturally have to find a few more people. What's the point of her watching alone?
Everyone likes to get together and play on New Year's Eve, and Cui Lianhua didn't mind, "Go ahead."
Wang Junsheng glanced at the time and waited until almost nine o'clock before saying, "Mom, I'm going to go play cards with Qiangzi and the others."
Seeing that he was rarely willing to play with his old friends, Cui Lianhua did not stop him, "Go ahead, and be careful on the road."
Qin Xiang saw Wang Junsheng when he left the house, but ignored him. She had a vague suspicion in her heart. She felt that since Cui Hong wanted to get promoted, she must find a reasonable excuse to divorce. However, many of the reasons were too ineffective and could not force Wang Junsheng to make a decision.
So Cui Hong had only one way to go.
New Year’s Eve is such a great time, but I don’t know how Cui Hong managed to leave the house right under Wang Qingshan’s nose.
Qin Xiang laughed out loud while lying on the kang. She just had to wait.
Just at this time, a quarrel broke out in Wang Qingshan's house next door. Qin Xiang went out to see and saw Wang Qingshan chasing Cui Hong into the darkness.
After a long while, Wang Qingshan came back. Ding Xiaojuan came out from next door and asked, "Where are the people?"
"I don't know, she will probably be back soon." Wang Qingshan frowned, feeling very unhappy. Thinking that Cui Hong had nowhere to go during the New Year, she would probably be back soon, so he went to his parents' house next door to drink.
Not long after Wang Junsheng arrived at the agreed location, he heard a slight gasp.
He waited for a while, and was hugged by someone. Cui Hong said in a tearful voice, "Brother Junsheng."
Wang Junsheng wanted to push her away, but Cui Hong refused to let go and cried, "Brother Junsheng, why didn't I meet you earlier?"
As she spoke, Cui Hong hooked her arms around Wang Junsheng's neck and kissed him, pressing her whole body against him.
Wang Junsheng was completely panicked and scared. He reached out and pushed her away, "Cui Hong, we can't do this. We're married."
"I know." Cui Hong suppressed her voice and pleaded bitterly with tears in her eyes, "I know everything, Junsheng. When we meet again tomorrow, we won't recognize each other. I only ask, I only ask that you want me just once before that, so that I can have something to think about for the rest of my life, okay?"
Wang Junsheng was shocked, but he didn't let go of Cui Hong. "You're crazy."
"I'm crazy." Cui Hong cried, "I'm crazy. Why did I fall in love with you? Considering that I liked you before I got married, Junsheng brother, I beg you, just this once, let me have a thought for the future, and I will live a good life with Qingshan in the future. Please, I will never pester you again in the future. I sincerely wish you and Xiangxiang a long life together, okay?"
It actually didn't take long for the two of them to become so familiar with each other.
But sometimes things are just a matter of coincidence. Cui Hong's approach to Wang Junsheng happened to coincide with his conflict with Qin Xiang. Cui Hong's gentleness and understanding healed the wounds in Wang Junsheng's heart, and her admiration gave his chauvinistic ego an unprecedented satisfaction. His vanity was particularly gratified when he heard Cui Hong say that she had loved him before he got married.
Did he want to have something happen with Cui Hong? Of course he did, but it was only a thought deep in his heart. He didn't really want to have a real fight, because he was afraid.
But when Cui Hong cried and asked her to keep a memory of him, Wang Junsheng couldn't bear to hurt the woman who loved him.
Cui Hong cried uncomfortably. Her originally gentle voice made it easy for people to feel soft-hearted when she cried. When Wang Junsheng was distracted, Cui Hong unbuttoned her cotton coat and came close to him, and also unzipped Wang Junsheng's clothes.
Cui Hong whispered, "Brother Junsheng, don't blame me. Blame me for being too greedy. I really love you and want to be your woman so much."
Wang Junsheng was stunned, thinking about Qin Xiang's indifference these days and the look on her face when she asked for a divorce. At this moment, he suddenly felt that if Qin Xiang didn't care about him, someone else did. Qin Xiang didn't let him touch her, but someone else begged him to touch her.
With the intention of taking revenge on Qin Xiang, Wang Junsheng suddenly held Cui Hong's face and kissed her.
Dry firewood can burn even more fiercely in the north wind.
Cui Hong calculated the time and hugged Wang Junsheng to cooperate with his madness. She was afraid because she knew what she would face in a while, but she could not be afraid for the sake of a good life in the future.
When she looked up, she seemed to see the light of a flashlight. Cui Hong knew that Wang Xiao must have brought people here. She reached out and covered Wang Junsheng's eyes, immersed in it, "Brother Junsheng, you are the only one in my heart."
Wang Junsheng never knew that people could be so happy, with stimulation and excitement coming one after another.
He was only being crazy this time. After tomorrow, things would go their own way. He was still a good man who could live a good life with Qin Xiang, and he had not betrayed Cui Hong's true love for him.
Just at this moment, a flashlight shone over, and a familiar voice broke through the sky, "Ah! Caught in adultery!"
