Chapter 21
Qin Yang looked like a bad guy the moment he stood there. When Qin Xiang and Wang Junsheng got married, he wasn't home to see them off, and the people in Wangjiazhuang didn't know who he was. Later, Qin Yang returned and visited Wangjiazhuang. He had a conversation with Wang Junsheng, and his expression was as grim as if his father had died. Everyone suspected Qin Yang had made some threatening remarks.
When everyone saw Qin Yang bringing such a group of people to collect the dowry, no one dared to intervene. What Wang Junsheng had done was truly shameful.
After Qin Yang finished speaking, he waved his hand, and more than a dozen young people from Qinjiatun rushed directly to Wang Junsheng's house.
Cui Lianhua heard the commotion and asked her daughter-in-law to go out and check. Cai Hongyan said, "I'm not going. Mom, we have to split the family. You can give them money after the family is split. Why should we have to pay the third child for his mistakes? No, we have to split the family."
Cui Lianhua was panting angrily and looked at Yu Qiaomei again. "What do you think?"
Yu Qiaomei shrank her neck and, for once, stood up. "Divide the family. I agree with my sister-in-law."
Cui Lianhua was so angry that she fell backwards. She didn't expect that after being in charge of the family for so many years, she would be stabbed in the back by her two daughters-in-law. It seemed that she was not strict enough.
In the east wing, Wang Junsheng, who had been lying for a long time, got up, looked at the room, sighed, and then got up to open the door.
When the door opened, Qin Yang punched Wang Junsheng in the nose, then kicked him in the chest. Wang Junsheng staggered, "Why did you hit me?"
"What's wrong with hitting you?" Qin Yang said nonchalantly, poking Wang Junsheng's face with his finger, "I did hit you, so what? Don't tell me you didn't know that Xiangxiang was going to college. Wang Junsheng, I used to think you were a human being, but now I think you're worse than a beast."
Wang Junsheng pursed his lips after hearing this. If it were before, he would not believe that this was something his mother could do, but after seeing what happened in the past few days, he realized that his mother was not as soft as she seemed, so this might be true.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Qin Yang didn't bother to pay attention to him. Qin Hai behind him glanced at his watch and said, "Hurry up, we have to go back to eat after moving the things."
Qin Yang snorted, then entered the east wing and pointed it out to others as his sister had instructed.
Washstand, washbasin, large mirror, large wardrobe, two quilts and some clothes.
Seeing that there was still water in the basin, Qin Yang simply picked it up and poured it directly onto the kang.
Wang Junsheng watched as all of Qin Xiang's belongings were packed away. He stood at the empty doorway, feeling a bit uncomfortable. "Third brother, where's Qin Xiang? Is she okay?"
"You are not worthy of calling Qin Xiang's name." Qin Yang asked others to take the things out, picked up a stick and started smashing it in the Wang family yard.
Cui Lianhua in the room felt her heart twitching as she listened to this.
Then Qin Yang came into the room and smashed the dining table with a stick. The table, which was already quite old, fell apart after being hit twice by the sticks. The two army green iron thermoses also fell apart with a crash.
Cai Hongyan burst into tears and said that she was being bullied.
Cui Lianhua was trembling all over.
Qin Yang threw the stick away, and it felt really good.
Looking at Cui Lianhua's pale face, Qin Yang felt quite satisfied. Wang Dazhu came out from the inner room and looked at the mess. He gritted his teeth and said, "This is too much. I'm going to report it to the police."
Qin Yang laughed heartily. "Then hurry up and have the police investigate what crime you're guilty of by colluding with others to put something in the food of college entrance exam candidates, preventing them from taking it. Don't say you didn't do anything. The police are very capable and will definitely find out if they investigate. This will let everyone know how disgusting your Wang family's actions are."
Wang Dazhu looked at Cui Lianhua in astonishment. Cui Lianhua just covered her mouth and cried, saying it was unfair and that she was being bullied. But no one, whether it was the people watching the excitement outside or the sons and daughters-in-law of the Wang family, dared to meddle in this matter, and no one dared to step out.
"Qin Yang." Wang Dazhu knew this was true, but he didn't know what Cui Lianhua had done. With a cold sweat on his forehead, he said, "Qin Yang, uncle wants to apologize to you..."
"No need to apologize. It has nothing to do with me." Qin Yang snorted. "Not only did my sister fail to get into university because of your family, she was even forced to live with you for a year. It's disgusting just thinking about it. You should be thankful that my sister didn't report it to the police, otherwise who knows what that old hag of yours would do to her."
Qin Yang's eyes flashed with viciousness. He stared at Wang Dazhu and stretched out his hand, saying viciously, "Where's the money you promised last night?"
Wang Dazhu pulled out a wad of money from his pocket and tremblingly handed it over. Qin Yang counted it and found that there was not a small amount. He quickly returned the IOU to Wang Dazhu and said, "Tell the rest of the Wang family from now on: don't get close to us Qin family anymore. If you do something like what happened this morning again, we will beat you up together."
After saying that, Qin Yang pocketed the money and left.
Outside the door, people watching the fun were pointing and talking at Wang Junsheng's house.
Some people think that Qin Yang went too far in smashing and looting things, after all, they are divorced.
Qin Yang said nonchalantly, "My little sister has always been smart and always topped the exams. Unfortunately, last year someone wanted her as a daughter-in-law, but they were worried that she would get into university and look down on the other person's son, so they contrived to give my sister diarrhea, and she failed the exam. This person is truly wicked."
Although no names were mentioned, everyone understood it after making the connection.
Since the college entrance examination, people in the countryside have become more enthusiastic about going to school and studying. Why do people envy Wang Junsheng? Isn't it because Wang Junsheng is a college student and has the potential to become a cadre in the future?
But the Wang family deliberately prevented Qin Xiang from taking the college entrance exam in order to marry her. That was too bad.
"You deserve it."
Someone sighed and said, "That's right! This is ruining people's futures. Her own daughter failed the exam for two years and still forced her to take it. Now, she's ruining her daughter-in-law by making her unable to take the college entrance exam. Old Lady Cui is so mean."
Qin Yang and his brother got on the tractor and drove away. Everyone in Wangjiazhuang stood there pointing and talking, and no one sympathized with the Wang family.
Inside the Wang family's house, Wang Dazhu looked at the old woman who had lived with him for decades and said, "Did you really do that last year?"
Cui Lianhua cried and said, "I didn't mean it."
"Didn't you mean it?" Wang Dazhu snorted. He didn't think the idea was bad, but he thought Cui Lianhua was stupid.
He had already done it, but instead of cleaning up the mess, he actually went to look for the Qin family. No wonder he left early this morning, and he said he was looking for someone to plead for him. Was he looking for Qin Xiang's sister-in-law?
Can you trust a Lord who won’t release the eagle until he sees the rabbit?
Wang Dazhu gritted his teeth and said, "You two have destroyed our family."
Originally, he wanted to give only half and delay paying the rest, but after Qin Yang got so angry, Wang Dazhu really didn't dare to do it anymore, so he took out the money.
All the savings of so many years were gone in an instant, and that’s not all, there was also 500 yuan from Wang Qingshan’s family.
Just as I was thinking about it, Ding Xiaojuan was shouting at the door asking for money.
Wang Dazhu's hands and feet suddenly became numb.
Because of Qin Xiang's behavior in the morning, now everyone in Qinjiatun knows that Qin Xiang is getting divorced.
Qin Xiang was not afraid of people knowing, but Lian Fengying kept nagging and running around to help the eldest brother's family pack up.
Qin Baotian yelled angrily, "Alright, since you care about their family so much, just follow them."
Lian Fengying was stunned and immediately felt aggrieved, "But they are all our children, we can't do this."
Qin Baotian has been holding back his anger these past two days. He always thought that his wife was not smart enough and was a little confused, but he didn't expect her to be so confused.
With people like Qin Jun and Tian Zhongmei, can they still rely on them in the future? It's simply wishful thinking.
The couple did such a thing, but the mother didn't want to counsel her daughter, but kept blaming her for doing such a cruel thing.
This is something that will ruin someone's future, and you still want Qin Xiang to forgive you?
He wouldn't be happy either.
A tractor rumbled outside. Qin Xiang knew that her third brother and the others had returned, so she quickly got up and went out to see.
Many people heard the noise, and even more came to watch. Seeing that the dowry had been taken back, they all talked about Qin Xiang's divorce.
Divorce is a rare thing these days, and most people remain pessimistic about it. They believe a woman's marriage, good or bad, is a lifelong one. A majority of people believe Qin Xiang will regret it sooner or later.
There are also people who, after learning the truth about a divorce, feel that it is okay to get a divorce, but this is rare.
But thanks to that outburst of anger, many people were afraid of Qin Xiang and only dared to talk about her in private, but no one dared to speak to her directly. She could even smash things in her sister-in-law's house, let alone these people.
Qin Xiang ignored the others' gazes and said to the group, "Thank you all for today. I'll ask my third brother to treat you to a banquet some other day."
"Xiangxiang, what you said is outrageous. We are all family, right?" A brother from the same family chuckled. The others also said the same thing. Although they were also shocked by Qin Xiang's behavior, it was indeed enjoyable. Moreover, they cared more about Qin Yang's face. They were still counting on Qin Yang to take them out to see the world. They were stupid to kick him when he was down.
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Even brothers should settle accounts clearly. I will remember all your help."
All the things were moved into the yard. There weren't many things in total, so they were all piled in the room where Qin Xiang slept.
Qin Yang took out a cloth bag and handed it over, "Tick it off."
Qin Xiang took it and said, "No need to order, Third Brother must have ordered it for me."
"That's true." Qin Yang paused, "Keep the money. Don't give it to anyone."
Qin Xiang nodded, "Third brother, I understand." She hesitated for a moment, "I want to move to the county as soon as possible. I won't buy a house, but rent a place first, preferably a small courtyard. Come run with me these two days, third brother."
"Okay." Qin Yang probably knew what Qin Xiang was thinking. She probably didn't want to stay at home. Putting aside the gossip, there were many Qin family members in Qinjiatun, and persuading her to marry under the banner of doing good for her would be a hassle. Putting aside all that, their mother alone was a headache. It would be better to stay away. At least in the county, no one would know about his sister's situation, and life would be easier.
Although Qin Yang also felt that Qin Xiang would get married sooner or later, he didn't think it was now. After all, he would talk about it later.
In the evening, the family had dinner together. Tanaka Mei and Qin Jun peeked in at the door, but because they were worried about Qin Xiang, they didn't dare to come in. After a while, they disappeared.
Lian Fengying looked at Qin Xiang cautiously and said, "How about I call your eldest brother and sister-in-law over? Can we have a meal together as a family?"
Qin Xiang smiled, "Sure, as long as they dare to come over, I have no problem. In fact, I really want to go to the police station to ask if I can be held accountable in a situation like this."
In fact, she knew in her heart that these words could only scare people, and it would be useless to report to the police. In an era when everything is lacking, it is difficult to convict someone.
Lian Fengying was shocked by her expression and her words. Thinking of the old man's scolding to her that afternoon, her voice softened a little. "Mom isn't partial. We're family after all. It's not good for a family to be too estranged. You can't go to college anymore. If you really report it to the police, your family will become mortal enemies. You're just asking for Mom's life."
Qin Xiang looked at her mother calmly, "How about you ask my elder brother and sister-in-law to return my university to me?"
Lian Fengying suddenly shut up.
Qin Xiang didn't feel happy at all. If it wasn't for the fact that reporting the matter to the police was useless, she might have really reported it to the police.
The real life is to live happily, it's a pity.
But at night, when they went to bed, Lian Fengying cried to Qin Baotian again, scolding Qin Xiang for not understanding her mother's painstaking efforts. She kept nagging, and Qin Baotian got annoyed and said directly, "If Qin Jun couldn't get into university because Qin Xiang deliberately had diarrhea, would you be able to persuade him like this?"
"Then how..." Lian Fengying suddenly stopped talking.
Qin Baotian sneered, "So the son is yours and your treasure, but the daughter is not?"
Lian Fengying felt wronged, "How can a daughter and a son be the same?"
This made Qin Baotian angry. "In my opinion, our son and daughter are both our children. It's no wonder Qin Xiang is angry. If it were me, I would be angry too. If you still want this daughter, don't get involved in her affairs in the future."
Lian Fengying didn't dare to speak, but deep down she didn't agree with Qin Baotian's words. It was not okay for a woman to not marry, and it was even worse for her to not have a family.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the day to return to one's parents' home, Qin Hai and his wife prepared to return to the county town with their children. The family of four took a bus to the town and then walked back. It was the same as before.
Qin Xiang and Qin Yang are also preparing to go to the county to look at houses. They really don’t want to stay in this house for even a day.
However, before the brother and sister left the house, Lian Fengying, who had gone out early in the morning, suddenly came with a matchmaker.
