Chapter 35
In fact, Qin Yang asked Qin Juan this question two years ago when she just gave birth to her child, but at that time he asked it in private, and no one knew about it except the two of them.
The result is predictable, Qin Juan did not agree.
At that time, although Zhao Qianjin turned a blind eye to his mother's behavior, he was still nice to Qin Juan in private. Moreover, with a child, Qin Juan believed that divorce was even more unacceptable.
But more than two years later, Qin Juan heard her third brother's words again.
Qin Juan hesitated.
The Zhao family was stunned.
Gao Yulan was silent for a moment, then she sat down on the ground, slapping her thigh and crying. "This is so unfair! I can't live like this anymore. This is such a bad family. Oh, this is so unfair..."
The woman's high-pitched crying was particularly clear this morning. It was only a little after seven o'clock, and everyone was busy at work. Except for the aunties and grandmas in the compound, everyone else just glanced at her and left.
Gao Yulan yelled, "Her third uncle, how could you do this? You're not letting her live a good life. Is this the kind of brother you should be?"
However, Qin Yang didn't look at her, only at Qin Juan. "Juanjuan, Third Brother has one last question for you: are you going to divorce or not?"
Qin Xiang held Qin Juan's hand and said, "Fourth sister, don't be afraid. Divorce is not that scary. As long as you are willing to divorce, you can bring Nian Nian to live with me."
Qin Juan looked at Zhao Qianjin, who was also panicking. Although he was dissatisfied with Qin Juan, he really had no intention of changing his wife. He didn't care about the pain from being beaten, and hurried to speak to Qin Yang, "Third brother..."
"Don't call me Third Brother." Qin Yang pointed at Zhao Qianjin and stopped him from going forward. Zhao Qianjin stood there depressed. Suddenly, he knelt down in front of Qin Juan and cried bitterly, "Juanjuan, I was wrong. Please don't divorce me. I was wrong."
To show his sincerity, Zhao Qianjin raised his hand and slapped himself, crying as he did so. "Juanjuan, please forgive me. I really won't hit you again. Please give me a chance. We have feelings for each other."
Gao Yulan was still crying. Zhao Hongbing suppressed his anger and said, "Her third uncle, he would rather demolish a temple than ruin a marriage. You can't let them get divorced."
The people watching the excitement at the door looked at Zhao Qianjin pitifully and couldn't help but sigh and began to persuade him, "Qin Juan's third brother, you can't do this. If you have something to say, just say it. You can't divorce. It's not easy to get married. The children are so grown up, how can you divorce?"
Qin Xiang was speechless and directly retorted, "You are talking without any pain. If your daughter was treated like this by her husband's family, would you say the same thing?"
"Hey, how can you talk like that, little girl? How can you talk like that?" The old lady was still unhappy and kept nagging.
Qin Xiang said, "Since you are so generous, I will ask around and then go to your daughter's in-laws' house to tell them. It's okay to bully their daughter-in-law. Anyway, there is no one in her family and no one will protect her. She deserves to be beaten and scolded."
"Xiangxiang." Qin Juan pulled Qin Xiang, her face flushed with anxiety, "Xiangxiang, stop talking."
Qin Xiang thought of her fourth sister's ending in her previous life, and she became angry. Seeing that her fourth sister refused to answer, she said directly, "Fourth sister, think about it carefully. This man, when he is a slut, will not remember what he said or swore. If this man can hit you once, he can hit you twice. You are young and can bear it now, but what if one day you can't bear it anymore? What if you are gone, what will happen to Nian Nian?"
Qin Juan bit her lip and looked at the child, feeling even more hesitant.
Zhao Qianjin saw that things were not going well and quickly knelt down to hug Qin Juan's legs. With tears in his eyes, he swore, "I swear, I will treat you and your mother well and protect you both in the future."
The people around were persuading him and the man was begging him.
Qin Juan looked at her third brother and sister, and finally her heart softened.
She looked at Zhao Qianjin and said, "Zhao Qianjin, since you begged me so much, I will also give you something. This is the last time. If you do it again, I will divorce you and leave this house with my children."
Zhao Qianjin agreed without hesitation and nodded hurriedly, "I definitely won't dare to do that."
To be honest, Qin Xiang was disappointed to see her sister like this.
But she was helpless. As the fourth sister, she had always been soft-hearted. If she hadn't had so many brothers, she would have been bullied to death outside. However, her sister was kind-hearted, and she was probably worried about the negative impact on her if she really got divorced.
Qin Xiang thought for a moment and whispered something into her third brother's ear. Qin Yang then said, "Since my sister is willing to give you a chance, then you should write a letter of guarantee. If it happens again, we can just take the letter of guarantee and get a divorce. Then we'll have to take the child with us."
At this moment, Xu Qianjin had no objection. He immediately took a pen and paper and wrote a letter of guarantee as Qin Yang said, and then asked his mother to press her fingerprints.
After receiving the letter of guarantee, Qin Yang said to Qin Juan, "Juanjuan, I'll take this for you. Don't let the Qin family's child suffer. At worst, the three of us can raise the child together. Don't be afraid of anything. If things don't go well, we can just divorce."
Qin Juan burst into tears after hearing this, "Third brother, I'll remember this."
Turning to Qin Xiang, he said, "Xiang Xiang, you'll be living in the county from now on. I'll bring Nian Di to visit you when I have time."
Qin Xiang had no choice but to agree.
Coming out of the Zhao family, Qin Xiang felt aggrieved. "Third brother, do you think there will be a second time?"
Qin Yang shook his head. "I don't know, but a forced marriage won't be sweet. Your fourth sister is soft-hearted and unwilling, and we can't force her to divorce."
Seeing the indignation on Qin Xiang's face, he explained, "She is different from you. She has a child and wants the child to have a complete family. If she didn't have a child, I would have taken her away today no matter what she said."
Qin Xiang couldn't agree with this, but she couldn't get others to agree with her either.
In her previous life, she had actually abandoned her two children. They were ungrateful, after all. Nian Nian was still young, so it was normal for the fourth sister to have her own concerns.
Qin Xiang only hoped that this time and the existence of the letter of guarantee would make the Zhao family tight-lipped and prevent the things that happened in the previous life from happening again.
"Let's go. I'm going to my second brother's house. Don't you still have to go to the motorcade?"
Qin Yang nodded, "Yes, I'll go and complete the resignation procedures, and will work for Boss Qin from now on."
Hearing him say that, Qin Xiang couldn't help but laugh, "Third brother, strive to be your own boss in the future."
"Okay, I'll wait." Qin Yang didn't care about this because he knew he didn't have the ability. After he made the decision yesterday, he had a hunch that his sister would definitely make a career in the future.
The brother and sister separated, and Qin Xiang hurried to Qin Hai's house. Qin Hai checked the time and said, "Why are you here so late? Hurry up! I took the whole morning off and have to go back to work this afternoon."
Qin Xiang sighed and said, "This morning, my third brother and I went to my fourth sister's house, witnessed a big battle, and then participated in it."
Qin Hai frowned upon hearing this, "Did Zhao Qianjin hit her again?"
Qin Xiang looked at him, "You know?"
"I know. I went to see Zhao Qianjin, but he agreed to it in person. Is he acting up again?"
Qin Xiang was speechless, so she told her second brother what happened that morning. "Zhao Qianjin is a piece of shit, and Fourth Sister's mother-in-law is not a good person either. She pointed at Fourth Sister's nose and scolded her, and the child sat on the ground crying and no one cared."
She couldn't help but feel depressed as she spoke, "Third brother asked Fourth sister to divorce, but she refused to do so. In the end, Zhao Qianjin wrote a letter of guarantee before we left."
Qin Hai sneered, "A dog will always eat shit."
They had persuaded her and supported her. Even if they were siblings, they couldn't think of everything for each other, let alone stay by her side without doing anything. The choice was left to Qin Juan, but she didn't want to divorce, and there was no other solution.
Even if Qin Xiang was still worried about what happened in her previous life, it would be useless if Qin Juan herself was unhappy.
Qin Hai shook his head. "Let's not talk about her anymore. Come on, I'll take you to school. Oh, your former homeroom teacher is now the Dean of Academic Affairs. Let's go straight to her."
Qin Xiang felt a little scared when she thought of the serious teacher back then.
In her previous life, she met her high school teacher, Ms. Ning Sumei, once when she went to the provincial capital to seek refuge with Wang Junsheng. At that time, Ms. Ning looked at her with nothing but disappointment.
At that time, Teacher Ning asked her, "Qin Xiang, even someone like Wang Xiao studied for three years and got into a junior college, and now has a job in a government agency, while you can only be a housewife taking care of your husband and children. Do you regret it?"
She did regret it in her previous life, but she gritted her teeth and persevered on the path she had chosen.
The time to set things right in this life has come sooner. She is only twenty years old and still has another chance to try.
Qin Hai took Qin Xiang to the county high school on a bicycle. Qingshui County only had this high school. Since the resumption of the college entrance examination, the number of students had increased, and only a few classes had been added.
Qin Xiang looked at the old man guarding the gate and felt familiar with him. "Uncle, do you still remember me?"
The old man was only about fifty years old. He looked up at Qin Xiang, thought for a moment, and said, "Are you Qin Xiang from Class 1, Grade 3?"
"Yes, it's me." Qin Xiang laughed, "Uncle, you still remember me. You have a really good memory."
Qin Xiang took out a handful of candies from her bag and stuffed them into his mouth, "Uncle, please have some sweets."
The old man didn't hesitate and took a piece of it and put it in his mouth. "How come you have time to come here? I heard people talking about you a while ago."
Qin Xiang laughed, "What are you talking about me?"
"They said you..." The old man frowned, "They said you were divorced. Are you really divorced?"
Qin Xiang nodded. "Yes, they are divorced. But who spread this news, Wang Xiao?"
"I don't know." The old man shook his head. "Anyway, many people are spreading rumors."
Qin Xiang laughed. The person who could spread this story must be either Wang Xiao or someone from Wangjiazhuang, but there was no one else except Wang Xiao who was so keen on ruining her reputation.
After all, people outside don’t know that she wants to take the college entrance examination. Is Wang Xiao worried that her college entrance examination will steal Wang Xiao’s limelight and deliberately ruin her reputation?
That really underestimates her. It's just rumors, how can she be afraid of that?
Qin Xiang asked, "Um, sir, is our teacher Ning here?"
"She's here early. She arrives at school on time at 7 o'clock every day. She's still in her old office. You can go find her."
After getting the old man's approval, Qin Xiang took a deep breath and prepared to go in.
Seeing her determined look, Qin Hai couldn't help but laugh, "Are you nervous?"
Qin Xiang said meaningfully, "You don't understand. Teacher Ning is a very serious person. If she criticizes me later, you must not interrupt her, otherwise she will teach you a lesson as well."
Qin Hai raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but smile, "Okay."
It was just after class, and they met many students on the way. When they saw the two of them, they all looked at them.
Who can blame these two brothers and sisters for being so handsome? Even though they are wearing ordinary clothes, they look different.
The two of them went all the way to the office. When they were near the bungalow where the office was located, they saw Wang Xiao coming out of the office.
Wang Xiao had a smile on his face, but it instantly faded when he saw Qin Xiang. The humiliation he had felt during the New Year came flooding back.
Because she was the one who caught the adulterer, her third brother broke off relations with her and never spoke to her again, like an enemy. Her father even beat her up and scolded her. The way the villagers looked at the Wang family was unforgettable. In short, the Wang family felt humiliated.
Wang Xiao hated Cui Hong, but she also hated Qin Xiang.
It was just a small matter. Her third brother just made a common mistake for men, but Qin Xiang had no tolerance at all. She forced him to divorce and asked for a high compensation, which reduced her living expenses in the new semester.
Wang Xiao knew that Qin Xiang wanted to go to college, but he didn't expect that Qin Xiang actually came to school.
Wang Xiao looked at Qin Xiang with resentment, but Qin Xiang just glanced at him and went straight to the office.
Wang Xiao couldn't help but say, "Qin Xiang."
Qin Xiang turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wang Xiao glanced at Qin Hai warily, then said to Qin Xiang, "What are you doing at school? Is this where you're supposed to be?"
Hearing her words and tone, Qin Xiang couldn't help but laugh, "You, who haven't passed the exam for two years, can come. Why can't I, who used to get first place in every exam, come?"
"You!" Wang Xiao's face turned red at being ridiculed. "What are you so proud of? You haven't studied for so long. Do you think you can pass the exam just because you studied well before? This year's college entrance examination English test is out of 100 points. With your level..."
"Don't worry, my English is definitely better than yours." After saying that, Qin Xiang ignored Wang Xiao and went straight to the office.
Wang Xiao looked at Qin Xiang's back and felt that she was a little different after the divorce, but she couldn't put her finger on what was different. She was a little worried that Qin Xiang would take the initiative to explain the reason for the divorce, but then she thought that divorce was not a glorious thing, so Qin Xiang would not take the initiative to talk about it.
After knocking on the door and entering, I saw Ning Sumei sitting in front of the desk in the middle. She called out, "Teacher Ning."
Ning Sumei froze and turned to look at him, "Qin Xiang?"
"It's me." Qin Xiang responded with a smile, her voice a little sour. She walked over to Ning Sumei and said, "Teacher Ning, are you okay?"
Ning Sumei looked her up and down and said, "Why are you here?"
Qin Xiang then explained her purpose, "I want to go to university, so I came here to ask."
"Applying for college?" Ning Sumei was a little surprised, then asked, "I heard you're divorced. Is that true?"
Qin Xiang knew who spread the rumor as soon as she heard it. She smiled and nodded, saying affirmatively, "Yes, I am divorced. I got divorced on New Year's Eve."
She thought about it and felt that there was no need to hide it. Instead of letting people guess, it was better to speak directly. She noticed that many teachers were curiously listening to the excitement, so she explained slowly, "On New Year's Eve, my ex-husband was caught cheating. I felt that such a man was not a good person, so I divorced him."
Ning Sumei's eyes widened, and the teacher who was watching the fun almost exclaimed.
Qin Xiang smiled helplessly and said, "Speaking of this, I have to thank classmate Wang Xiao. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't know that my husband would be such a bad man."
The teacher who once taught Qin Xiang mathematics couldn't help but ask, "How do you say that?"
Qin Xiang: "Because it was classmate Wang Xiao who led the others to catch us in the adultery that night. Really, I'm especially grateful to her."
