Chapter 203
Liu Fanglin took a special leave to come and see Qin Xiang. Since they didn't get along well, Liu Fanglin no longer had any expectations of Qin Xiang.
Now I just hope I can convince her son not to be obsessed with such a woman anymore.
But as soon as she came out of the restaurant, she was stopped by a girl.
Liu Fanglin frowned and asked, "Excuse me, classmate, what can I do for you?"
Fu Yunmei was a little excited. She looked at Liu Fanglin and suppressed her excitement and said, "Hello, Auntie. My name is Fu Yunmei..."
Liu Fanglin was already furious with Qin Xiang, so he had no patience left. He said coldly, "Just say it."
Fu Yunmei's face froze for a moment after being blocked like that. Then she said, "Look, I'm Qin Xiang's classmate. If you want to know anything about her, I think I can provide you with some help."
After Qin Xiang and this woman entered the cafe in the restaurant, Fu Yunmei had been wondering about their relationship.
Worried about being seen by Qin Xiang, Fu Yunmei had to stay a little further away. Because she was too far away, she could only see the two of them talking, and the aunt's face looked a little unhappy.
Her own private guess was that this aunt's son had some relationship with Qin Xiang, and this aunt came to warn Qin Xiang.
Although she was excited about Qin Xiang's indiscretion, it did not prevent her from wanting to do something bad to Qin Xiang. So she waited at the door for a long time and finally waited for her to come out.
And from the looks of it, the conversation didn't go well and he was quite angry.
She felt that if she showed her goodwill at this time, the other party should agree.
However, before she finished speaking, she saw Liu Fanglin's face full of sarcasm, "Does Qin Xiang know that you're talking about people behind their backs like this?"
Liu Fanglin said disdainfully, "You're a Tsinghua University student, yet you have such a character. You've really ruined the school's reputation. You're so young, yet you're imitating an old country lady to gossip."
Liu Fanglin walked around Fu Yunmei and left. Fu Yunmei stood there in a daze, shaking with anger.
She meant well, but was accused of gossiping like an old country lady?
"It seems what they said is true."
When Fu Yunmei turned around, she saw Bei Nannan standing there with contempt.
Bei Nannan seemed to have suddenly become enlightened overnight, seeing through Fu Yunmei's true face, and never dealt with Fu Yunmei again.
Of course, this does not mean that Bei Nannan has reconciled with Qin Xiang. It is probably impossible in this lifetime.
She happened to hear the conversation between Fu Yunmei and that woman, so she couldn't help but speak out.
Fu Yunmei actually didn't know what had irritated Bei Nannan, causing her to lose even a follower.
She sighed and said quietly, "Nannan, if I said I was doing this to vent your anger, you definitely wouldn't believe me, right?"
Bei Nannan rolled her eyes. "Since you know that, then you don't need to tell me. Who cares?"
After saying that, Bei Nannan left.
Fu Yunmei was so angry that she fell backwards. It was really unlucky. How could she be so unlucky?
It was also a coincidence that Qin Xiang also came out at this time.
Fu Yunmei felt guilty and turned around and left.
Qin Xiang touched her chin. Is she a monster?
I shook my head, touched my stomach and felt a little hungry, so I went to the supermarket to buy some food and then returned to the dormitory.
The people in the dormitory were curious, but they also knew that Qin Xiang was busy, so they didn't ask.
But Meilin couldn't hold it back, so she moved closer to her and asked, "Who is that auntie? She looks familiar to me."
Qin Xiang laughed, "That doesn't look familiar, because she is Instructor He's mother."
"ah?"
"Instructor He's mother?"
Thinking about Instructor He's obsession with Qin Xiang, they began to understand. But they still worriedly asked, "Her mother came to you... to get you to stay away from her son?"
After Dingxiang finished speaking, Meilin continued to ask, "Did she take out a wad of money and hit you in the face like it says in the book, asking you to leave her son?"
After saying that, Guan Yuping couldn't help but sneer, "Are you stupid? Instructor He's family is well-off, but that's relative. If we really compare wealth, she may not be as rich as our Qin Xiang. Qin Xiang might as well throw money at her."
Meilin chuckled and said, "That's right."
Guan Yuping got off the bed, frowned and asked, "What did she say to you?"
Qin Xiang smiled, "Nothing much, just a discussion. Anyway, it wasn't very pleasant. I think she was scared by me. I guess she won't come again in the future."
"So what did you say?"
Several people stared at Qin Xiang, and their angular looks couldn't be hidden.
Qin Xiang chuckled, "She asked me to think carefully about my relationship with Meng Huaiqing, and told me a lot about how big bosses in Hong Kong like to marry multiple wives. Then I said I don't want to get married and have children, and we can be together in the future if we like, and not if we don't."
She shrugged, "And then scared her away."
The dormitory was silent, and even Guan Yuping was shocked.
After a long while, Guan Yuping was the first to find her tongue. "So, were you trying to scare her, or did you really have such an idea?"
Seeing their shocked expressions, Qin Xiang did not hide anything and said, "Tell the truth."
Several roommates: "..."
Ding Xiang asked cautiously, "Then, does Mr. Meng know that you have this attitude?"
Qin Xiang nodded. "I know. We discussed this matter at the beginning of our relationship, and he agreed with my point of view. That's why we were able to come up with such a harmonious outcome."
Such remarks are horrifying these days.
But Qin Xiang thought it was okay. It was a good opportunity to instill in her roommates a theory that many girls would like in the future. They should think more about it and not follow the old path of their mothers or grandmothers, getting stuck in marriage and struggling to escape.
Sure enough, several people fell silent, unable to imagine it. This almost broke their cognition.
This was even more shocking than when I first learned that Qin Xiang and Meng Huaiqing lived together.
Although they have been attending school, they have been taught from childhood that girls should get married and have children when they reach a certain age. To their parents' families, they are outsiders, and once married, they will spend their whole lives together, and having children is a given.
But after listening to Qin Xiang's words, they felt that this idea was wrong, but they couldn't find the right words to refute Qin Xiang.
Guan Yuping was a native of the capital, from the best family conditions among them, and she was also well-informed. However, she was still shocked to hear such remarks. "Then, won't Mr. Meng's family have any objections?"
Whose son doesn't look forward to getting married and having children after he's born? From what Qin Xiang said, if he has no plans to get married, does that mean he has no plans to have children either?
Can a family like Mr. Meng's accept this?
Qin Xiang laughed. "I don't care whether their family objects or not. If they do, then we can just break up. These days, who can't leave who?"
Guan Yuping and others: "..."
Seeing that they all found it incredible, Qin Xiang simply closed the door and sat down to hold a marriage and family discussion meeting with them.
"You all know that I've been married, but do you know what life is like after marriage?"
As soon as Qin Xiang said this, the girls fell into deep thought.
Qin Xiang said, "My ex-husband's family has three sons and a daughter. My ex-husband was a top student in the family, so he was valued and loved by the family. When I graduated from high school and got married, I had to face not only my mother-in-law and father-in-law every day, but also two fathers-in-law with different thoughts and a sister-in-law who didn't get along with me. The whole family lived together, and they quarreled endlessly over the slightest profit. Every word they said had to be thought twice, just like a palace fight. It was okay during the slack season, but when the season was busy, the whole family had to go to the fields. Women had to work outside, and they had to go home to continue working, washing clothes, cooking, taking care of children, and dealing with their parents-in-law. Do you think it's terrible?"
Several people nodded hurriedly.
Ding Xiang hesitated, "But we're all in college now. Surely the person we'll find in the future can't be someone like this, right?"
"Yes, but marriage isn't just about one person; it's about two families. Can you be sure the man you marry is the same as he appears to be? If we have good taste and find a man who is outstanding, independent-minded, and of good character, can you guarantee that his family, his parents, will be as kind as he is? Some men are indeed outstanding, but their parents may not be, especially in large families with many ups and downs. Men think their mothers are the kindest people in the world. If you tell them how their mother treated you badly, they won't believe you. Even if they do, they might say, 'This is my mother. It wasn't easy for her to raise me, so you should just tolerate her because she's an old woman.'"
She paused and asked, "I just want to ask if you feel aggrieved or not?"
Meilin smacked her lips. "It's so frustrating! Don't you think that's just my dad. My grandma is always mean to my mom, always finding fault with her. My dad tries to smooth things over, thinking my grandma is just old and telling my mom not to argue with her. If my mom argues with my grandma, it's my mom who's being naive. Because of this, my mom insists that I go to school, stay away from our place, and marry a good man without a father or a mother."
Qin Xiang chuckled and couldn't help but think of the standard of an excellent man that has been passed down through the generations: no father or mother, but with a car and a house.
Since ancient times, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a difficult issue to deal with.
But the most fundamental reason for the emergence of this relationship lies with men.
The man's inaction and avoidance exacerbate the contradictions in this relationship.
After Meilin finished speaking, the others also agreed. Dingxiang said, "You're right, it seems that our family is the same. My grandmother actually committed suicide by drinking pesticide. My grandfather blamed my mother for it, thinking that my mother didn't care enough about my grandmother and didn't take good care of her. I don't understand it. He is obviously my grandmother's husband, so why is he blaming my mother? In our family, women work outside like men, and when they come home, they have to do the laundry and cooking like Qin Xiang said. It's really tiring."
Not to mention in the countryside, it's the same in the city.
Guan Yuping sighed and said, "We are a cadre family after all. My mother is busy outside and at home, and she also has to deal with a lot of relatives at home."
Several people fell silent again, as if Qin Xiang's choice had found the answer.
If you don't get married, the man's parents and relatives have nothing to do with you. You don't have to be involved in such a complicated relationship, you don't need to serve the man's parents, and you don't have to deal with difficult sisters-in-law.
Of course, there are also disadvantages. Such views are not accepted by the world and some people will gossip about them.
If Qin Xiang could tell them frankly, could they frankly accept other people's strange looks?
Maybe this is the difference between them and Qin Xiang.
Several people couldn't help but sigh.
Qin Xiang was happy. "You don't have to be pessimistic. I just took a wrong path and now I know what I want more clearly. Besides, I have to be busy with my career, so I don't have the time to take care of my family. But I can't say anything for sure. Maybe one day I'll get tired and want to get married. Of course, having children is impossible. I mean, I won't have any."
Once you give birth to a child, you have to raise him. It is most difficult when he is young. Once he gets sick, it becomes even more troublesome. He will need his mother for at least three or four years.
In her previous life, she and that bastard Wang Junsheng had twins, a boy and a girl. Cui Lianhua was just a big mouth, always bragging about her grandchildren. But when she was asked to help raise the children, she ran away faster than a rabbit. She was raising two children alone at the time, and it was a bumpy journey. Later, life improved, the children grew up, and various problems followed.
She treated them so well, cared for them and nurtured them with all her heart, but in the end, she couldn't resist Wang Junsheng's words of leaving his property to them. They easily betrayed their mother and accepted Cui Hong, the one who destroyed their family.
Qin Xiang felt a chill and shook her body to dispel the chill. "Anyway, I won't have children in this lifetime. If you do, you can recognize me as your godmother."
It's nice to be a ready-made mother.
The originally depressed atmosphere was broken by Qin Xiang.
Guan Yuping smiled and said, "You wish."
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "If you want to have a beautiful dream, then you have to have a beautiful dream. I will give each of you a big red envelope. Let's see if you are happy or not."
"You have to be willing to do that. You'll have to have more children."
Several people burst into laughter.
After she finished laughing, Zhao Wenna asked, "Then Mr. Meng doesn't want a child either?"
Qin Xiang smiled, "He said it doesn't matter whether he wants it or not, and I don't know if he really doesn't want it. Like I said, when you're in love, you stay together. If you're no longer in love or have different life pursuits, you can just separate."
However, Qin Xiang felt that Meng Huaiqing might really not want a child.
Even if he has a child, he will be a good father.
If you have been hurt in childhood, it is difficult to have children again. Or if you already have children, you should be doubly good to them and make up for what you lack in yourself by giving them twice as much.
But, for her, it was not in her plan.
After speaking frankly, the girls fell into deep thought.
But everyone also knows that there are very few people like Qin Xiang and Meng Huaiqing in this world.
Dating is the beginning, followed by discussions about marriage, and then having children. This has been the case since ancient times.
Qin Xiang's perspective undoubtedly opened a window for them, allowing them to clearly understand the meaning of marriage: not only love, but also life.
At night, several people did not go out and studied in the house. Zhao Wenna handed her a few design drafts and said, "Take a look."
Ever since she made money designing silk clothes, Zhao Wenna has become addicted to it.
Qin Xiang took a look and nodded, "Not bad, very good, but this position needs to be modified, will it be better this way?"
"Let me see."
The two gathered together to discuss, and Meilin enviously said, "Zhao Wenna is really suitable for this job."
Hearing this, Zhao Wenna looked up and smiled, "You might as well say that it's money that drives me to work hard on my design."
Since she started writing for Qin Xiang, everyone in the dormitory had the best income in their major, and Zhao Wenna had been the first to benefit, so she had saved a considerable amount of money. Of course, she also sent some back to her parents, but she saved the rest for other uses.
After the discussion, Zhao Wenna whispered something to Qin Xiang.
Qin Xiang was surprised and asked, "Really?"
Zhao Wenna nodded, a little excited, "I asked, I have enough money now to buy a small house, more than 30 square meters."
Several other people also gathered around, "What are you talking about, more than 30 square meters?"
Zhao Wenna was a little embarrassed, but still said, "I've seen a house in that suburban development that I'd like to buy. It's over 30 square meters."
This is no small sum. Last year, Zhao Wenna wouldn't have dared to think about it. But ever since Qin Xiang took a liking to her manuscript this year, the money has been pouring into her pocket. Furthermore, Qin Xiang paid her a large sum for the silk dress she designed last time. Combined with the other dresses she's designed, she's saved about two thousand yuan in the past six months.
The house of more than 30 square meters is the smallest unit there, and it costs at least 3,000 to 9,000 yuan, but Qin Xiang said that she could get an internal price, so she could save a little, so she was so anxious to design clothes day and night.
As soon as she finished speaking, the others took a breath in shock.
Ding Xiang touched her pocket and said enviously, "That's great. Then you can stay in the capital from now on."
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "You can do that too. Work hard and try to buy a house in the capital. I can get the internal price of a few houses in this batch. If you take a look, I can help you and save you some money."
Zhao Wenna said embarrassedly, "Then I'll rely on you here."
Qin Xiang nodded, "No problem."
Of course, the internal price does not mean the direct cost price. You still have to make a profit, it’s just a matter of how much you make.
Qin Xiang was willing to make friends with them and was happy to seek benefits for them. At most, she would just repay Meng Huaiqing's favor in other ways.
For example, sending a batch of work clothes to Meng Huaiqing's unit?
These are all trivial matters.
After saying this, Zhao Wenna went back to counting the money. Qin Xiang smiled and said, "I've accepted all these manuscripts. Next, you can design more clothes for my other branches. It doesn't matter whether they're for autumn and winter or next year's spring and summer."
Zhao Wenna said happily, "Okay."
If you don't make money even though you have it, you're a bastard.
It was the right choice to choose this major by accident.
While Qin Xiang and the others were getting along harmoniously, Liu Fanglin also arrived at the hospital. Seeing He Chenghua sitting there in a daze, Liu Fanglin couldn't help but frown. She went over to block his view and said, "Chenghua, forget about Qin Xiang. You are not suitable for her."
He Chenghua's eyes suddenly focused, and then he stared at Liu Fanglin intently, "What did you say?"
Liu Fanglin sighed, sat on the edge of the bed, held He Chenghua's hand, and said, "Chenghua, I went to find Qin Xiang. You two are really not suitable. She is not the same type of person as you..."
However, before Liu Fanglin could finish her words, He Chenghua shook her hand away. He Chenghua looked gloomy and stared at his mother, asking, "Why did you go to see her? What did you say to her?"
