Chapter 38
Qin Xiang paused and looked at Qin Yang, only to find that his third brother didn't take it seriously at all.
There weren't as many people around now, so Qin Xiang reminded her third brother, "Third brother, there's a woman over there who seems to be looking at you."
Qin Yang looked up and then looked away, "I don't know him."
Qin Xiang didn't quite believe what he said, but Third Brother didn't seem to want to say it either, so Qin Xiang could only suppress her curiosity and lower her head to continue selling goods.
Not far away, Li Wenjing felt aggrieved and angry. She asked her companion, "He clearly saw me, why did he ignore me?"
The companion thought, no one would want to bother with you. If she didn't have to beg Li Wenjing, she wouldn't want to get too close to Li Wenjing. She is just a lunatic.
Not hearing any answer, Li Wenjing asked again.
His companion casually responded, "Maybe he was too busy to see it."
Li Wenjing didn't think so, and went over angrily. Fortunately, there were fewer people at the moment, otherwise people would have thought that someone was here to cause trouble.
Qin Xiang finally had a break after completing this deal. Seeing this angry girl approaching, she couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Excuse me..."
"Who are you?" Li Wenjing's eyes scraped Qin Xiang's face like knives. When she saw her beautiful face, Li Wenjing felt so sour in her heart. Although she didn't want to admit it, the woman in front of her was indeed much more beautiful than her.
Li Wenjing couldn't control herself anymore. She looked at Qin Yang with tears in her eyes and said, "Qin Yang, you didn't want me because of her? Isn't she just a little prettier than me? How could you degenerate so much as to follow her to the market to engage in speculation and profiteering? Qin Yang, why are you like this?"
Qin Xiang was a little unhappy after hearing this. "The country doesn't even talk about speculation anymore. Why are you acting like a defender of justice here?"
"Shut up. You have no right to speak." Li Wenjing glared at Qin Xiang fiercely, then turned to look at Qin Yang with a different expression. "If I hadn't suddenly decided to go to the countryside to relax, I wouldn't have known about this. Qin Yang, what do you think?"
Qin Yang nonchalantly tidied up the clothes the customer had been looking through, then looked up at her lazily and said, "I can think whatever I want, Li Wenjing. My affairs have nothing to do with you. What's the matter? Now that your parents have finally let you out, aren't they afraid that you'll go crazy again?"
Qin Xiang's eyes widened at the name Li Wenjing. Oh my goodness, isn't this her second sister-in-law from her previous life? But why does she look so different from the memory she had? Not quite. Looking closely, it seems to be the same, except that the woman before her looks a lot younger. She knew her second sister-in-law was a bit of a riot in her previous life, but she hadn't expected her to be this boisterous even when she was young.
Thinking of the past life, Qin Xiang looked at Li Wenjing warily, without explaining her identity. She only said, "You're hindering my business here. If you continue like this, I'll go call the administrator."
At that time, the market was still under government management. There were people here every day to collect stall fees and maintain order at the market. If there was any problem, just call someone over.
But most of the time it was because of thieves, but there were so many people at the market that calling the administrator was useless because the people had already run away. There were fights, though, and they could be handled.
So when Qin Xiang said this, it was still quite intimidating.
Although Li Wenjing was from the city, she had been to the market before and knew that it was managed. She felt unhappy and took two steps back. She said to Qin Yang, "Qin Yang, let's talk."
Qin Yang also wanted to solve the problem, so he looked at Qin Xiang. Qin Xiang nodded and said, "Go ahead, and come back soon. I can't handle it alone."
Qin Yang nodded lovingly and went out of the market. Li Wenjing glared at Qin Xiang hatefully, "He won't like you, vixen."
This name was really new to Qin Xiang. She was amused and said provocatively, "You are right, I am a vixen, and Qin Yang likes me, a vixen."
After saying that, he rolled his eyes and entertained the guests.
"Li Wenjing, do you still want to talk?"
Qin Yang called for help not far away, and Li Wenjing stomped her feet and chased after him.
As soon as she left, Liu Xiufeng, Li Wenjing's companion, didn't know what to do.
She suddenly asked Qin Xiang, "You and Qin Yang are not in a relationship, right?"
Qin Xiang ignored her, and Liu Xiufeng quickly added, "My relationship with Li Wenjing isn't good either."
Qin Xiang didn't even raise her head. "What kind of relationship you have is none of my business. If you're not buying anything, please move aside."
Seeing people around looking at her, Liu Xiufeng's face was a little embarrassed. At this time, a few aunts and grandmas came over to look at clothes and pushed Liu Xiufeng aside. "If you don't want to buy anything, please give way. Why are you standing here like a pillar?"
Liu Xiufeng took a few steps back and stood obediently to the side.
She looked around and saw that Li Wenjing and Qin Yang were arguing, and Li Wenjing seemed to be roaring there again.
Qin Xiang didn't care about this and only entertained a few old ladies.
An old lady said, "Is that your girlfriend?"
Qin Xiang understood that she was talking about her third brother, so she shook her head, "That's actually my brother, but my brother doesn't have a partner at all, and he's not interested in girls. I don't know what to do yet."
"Oh, don't you understand? It's clearly unrequited love. Your brother doesn't want to be with you, but the girl won't give up and insists on staying with him."
"She looks like a rich girl, but why would she do this?"
Another woman said, "That's nothing. Let me tell you, there are even more outrageous things."
Several aunties were picking out clothes, and Qin Xiang joined in the fun.
Then an old lady whispered, "Do you know the Wenquxing from Wangjiazhuang?"
Qin Xiang felt something was wrong when she heard this name, and it even sounded a little familiar.
Wangjiazhuang, isn’t that Wang Junsheng’s village? Could it be that they are talking about her?
The old lady spoke mysteriously, "That famous university student Wang Junsheng in the surrounding area. You might not know him, but on New Year's Eve, he went into a haystack with his niece's wife. He was caught by his own sister. What a shame! I heard they were having sex when they were caught."
"Oh, there's this thing."
Qin Xiang felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.
The old lady slapped her thigh and said, "Of course not. Tsk tsk, that was the incident that night. Wang Junsheng's wife was really tough. She called her family over and got a divorce."
"Divorce? Oh, that's such a pity for that girl. Why did they get divorced when they were so happy? It's a waste of a college student. Wouldn't that woman get a bargain? What happened to Wang Junsheng and that woman later?"
"They got married." The old lady said sarcastically, "This family's way of eating is too ugly. That's the daughter-in-law of our family. Not only did Wang Junsheng ruin his own marriage, he also ruined his nephew's family. Tsk tsk, I heard that the wedding was quite ugly. My daughter's sister-in-law's eldest sister-in-law is from that village, it's absolutely true."
Qin Xiang blinked, she didn't expect that they were really getting married. That was really great. The scumbag and the bitch should be tied together tightly, but they must not be loosened to cause harm to others.
"And then? Just like that? A slut became the wife of a college student?"
The old lady snorted, "Of course not. They got married just like that. But the Wang family is not pushovers. Wang Junsheng's mother fell ill and left her three daughters-in-law to serve her. So Wang Junsheng just patted his butt and went to school, and that bitch stayed at home to serve his mother-in-law. That mother-in-law is also very powerful. I heard that she can torment her daughters-in-law."
Qin Xiang: “…” It really seems like something Cui Lianhua would do.
Cui Lianhua was the master of this. Cui Hong was capable, but their status was clear. Cui Lianhua wanted to discipline Cui Hong, and even if she resisted, it would be useless. Because of Cui Hong and Wang Junsheng's affair, the people of Wangjiazhuang would probably be embarrassed and wouldn't think twice about speaking up for Cui Hong, fearing that she would be punished by the women in her family. As for Cui Hong's family, they were the type who wouldn't let go of anything until they saw the rabbit. They wouldn't care about Cui Hong's life or death in such a matter.
This means that Cui Hong is now in dire straits.
Qin Xiang thought she would feel happy to hear such news, but she found that when she really heard it, it was just like that and she didn't feel anything.
The main reason is that she has long since treated the Wang family as nothing, and she really doesn't care what happens to that family.
Anyway, she knew that this family was torturing each other, so she felt relieved.
Qin Xiang saw that the aunties were chatting endlessly, so she reminded them.
"Yes, yes, pick out clothes."
The ladies all liked clothes, and although they weren't particular about the style, most bought one or two. Some, who didn't have enough money to go to the market, even borrowed money to buy.
Qin Xiang sent the person away safely.
As a result, an old lady fell on Qin Xiang before leaving and said, "I have a relative from Wangjiazhuang. I have been to Wangjiazhuang before. Have I seen you there?"
Qin Xiang blinked, "Really, Auntie? You're not to mention it, but you look familiar to me. Maybe we even met at the fair together in our dreams."
"What a sweet little mouth." The old lady laughed and turned away.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and looked at Qin Xiang, and said in shock, "Aren't you the former wife of Wang Junsheng?"
Several aunties and grandmas who were gossiping just now looked towards Qin Xiang.
Some feel sympathy, some feel pity, and some disagree.
Qin Xiang knew she couldn't hide it anymore, so she nodded and admitted openly, "Auntie, you really have a good memory. I am the woman you said divorced and left that night, and I am also Wang Junsheng's ex-wife."
People were coming and going at the fair, and Qin Xiang even had a polite smile on her face. The aunties felt a little embarrassed to have gossiped for so long in front of the people involved.
The woman who had started the gossip felt the most uncomfortable. She said with a wry smile, "Young wife, take it easy. We didn't mean to bring this up."
Regardless of whether they agree with the divorce or not, saying this in front of others is like stabbing someone in the heart.
"You are still young and have a long way to go. Don't worry too much."
"Yes, your business is pretty good. You won't have to worry about food and drink. Let Wang Junsheng regret it."
Several aunties and grandmas began to comfort Qin Xiang one after another.
Qin Xiang saw Qin Yang walking towards them and smiled, "Don't worry, Auntie, I'm fine now. It's inevitable that you won't encounter a few scumbags in your life. Just throw them away and that's it."
Several aunties and grandmas laughed awkwardly, "Yes, yes, yes."
A few people hurriedly entered the crowd with smiles on their faces, and those who had just arrived at the market hesitated to come over when they saw people selling clothes here. Qin Xiang hurriedly shouted at the top of her voice.
Liu Xiufeng was stunned. This beautiful woman was actually divorced.
I don't know why Liu Xiufeng actually thinks she's better than this woman. After all, she's still a virgin. So what if she's pretty? When looking for a husband, normal people would rather choose someone like her who's not so good-looking than a divorced one.
When Qin Xiang was busy greeting people, she caught Liu Xiufeng's eyes out of the corner of her eye and immediately felt disgusted.
What kind of people are these?
Seeing Qin Yang coming, Liu Xiufeng hurried over to find Li Wenjing.
Qin Yang didn't say much and just greeted the guests there. Qin Xiang didn't have time to ask.
At around one o'clock, when the market was busiest, the brother and sister were busy again. By three o'clock in the afternoon, the number of people had gradually decreased. Qin Xiang rubbed her stomach and said, "Third brother, I'm so hungry."
"I see they're selling fire cakes over there. I'll go buy some."
Qin Xiang held him back and said, "You watch the things, I'll go buy them."
She ran over and bought six steamed buns and a piece of mutton. She came back and said to Qin Yang, "Let's make mutton soup when we get home."
"Okay." Qin Yang packed the remaining things into the car, glanced at Daji and said, "Let's go back and rest."
I'm really tired after such a day.
Qin Yang refused to let Qin Xiang pull the cart, and Qin Xiang said, "Third brother, I'm not that squeamish. We agreed to take turns pulling."
But Qin Yang didn't listen to her at all. "Just be good and memorize the book if you have nothing to do."
The car on the way back was much lighter because there were fewer clothes on. It took more than an hour to finally reach the county.
The brother and sister boiled some water to wash up first. Qin Xiang grabbed a set of clothes, socks and other things and prepared to go out. "Third brother, I'm going to Aunt Hu's house."
"I'll come too, and chat with Brother Tieshu."
Qin Xiang was helpless, "Third brother, you don't have to follow me all the time, everything is fine in the county."
"I really want to talk to Brother Tieshu." Qin Yang felt that she didn't believe him, so he was helpless. "You forgot, we have been partners for a long time. I have to ask him who he will partner with in the future."
After thinking about it, Qin Xiang felt quite embarrassed. To be honest, it was she who snatched Sun Tieshu's partner away.
"Then let's go."
When the brother and sister went out, they met Qiao Huilan and her daughter-in-law coming out of their house next door. When Qiao Huilan saw Qin Xiang, she was startled and hurriedly pulled her daughter-in-law back and slammed the door.
Qin Xiang blinked, confused, "Am I scary?"
Qin Yang chuckled, "Maybe I'm scary?"
The two stood facing each other, bursting out laughing, and couldn't help but think of the previous haunted incident.
As they walked towards Sun's house, Qin Xiang finally asked, "Today's..."
"Stop." Qin Yang interrupted her with annoyance on his face. "I don't want to mention this person. She's disgusting. Just remember that your third brother wouldn't marry someone like that."
Qin Xiang didn't expect her third brother to react so strongly. In his previous life, her third brother didn't tell her these things, but he still married Li Wenjing in the end. Since her third brother didn't like Li Wenjing and even hated her, why did he still marry Li Wenjing in the end?
Because of something that happened in her past life, Qin Xiang knew that her ex-third sister-in-law's parents were county officials, and her father had some power in the government and a rather spoiled personality. Could it be that her third brother was being manipulated or pressured into marrying Li Wenjing?
Qin Xiang shuddered as she thought of her third brother's married life and state in her previous life. She hurriedly said to Qin Yang, "Third brother, although there are some things you don't like to hear, I still want to remind you."
She spoke seriously, and Qin Yang listened even though he didn't want to mention it, so he responded.
Qin Xiang said, "Third brother, that woman looks like someone with a mental disorder to me. It's not a good thing for someone like that to be obsessed with you. What if she uses any means to achieve her goals? So, third brother, you must always be on guard."
Qin Yang was stunned. "Not really?"
"Why not?" Qin Xiang was a little anxious when she saw that her third brother didn't take it seriously. "Think about Cui Hong. Didn't she also hook up with Wang Junsheng to achieve her own goals? Although Wang Junsheng was not clean in this matter. But some people are like this. They will do anything to achieve their goals. We must be cautious of others. Otherwise, it will be too late if they really fall into their trap."
Seeing her anxious, Qin Yang smiled, "Alright, Third Brother, I know. Next time I see her, I'll stay away from her. It's okay if I don't get close to her, right?"
Qin Xiang laughed and said, "Okay."
When they arrived at the Sun family's house, Aunt Hu and Sun Tieshu were both at home. Aunt Hu was quite happy to see them and said, "Hurry up and go inside."
He shouted at Sun Tieshu again about Qin Yang.
Aunt Hu lived on the second floor. Soon Sun Tieshu appeared upstairs and said, "Qin Yang, Qin Xiang, take them upstairs and sit down."
"Come on, let's go upstairs." Aunt Hu stopped chatting with others and led them upstairs. When someone saw her leading a beautiful girl, they asked about Qin Xianglai.
Aunt Hu said cheerfully, "Come on, your son is not someone people would look down upon."
The three of them went upstairs, and Aunt Hu said, "Don't take their words seriously. If you see me bringing a girl, you have to ask."
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "It's okay, no one has any ill intentions."
Of course, they only asked because they thought she was single. Once they knew she was divorced, they would definitely run away faster than rabbits. Qin Xiang was too used to this kind of thing. Even her own mother didn't understand her and thought she was embarrassing, so how could others do that?
When they arrived at the Sun family, Qin Xiang greeted Sun Tieshu, and Sun Tieshu went to chat with Qin Yang aside. Aunt Hu took Qin Xiang's hand and asked her about her experience along the way.
Of course, Qin Xiang would not be so foolish as to say everything. She only talked about the good things, especially the changes in people's clothing and lifestyle in Hangzhou, which made Aunt Hu marvel again and again.
Qin Xiang handed over the things she had brought. "Auntie, I didn't bring anything for you. These are the goods we got from the Ningcheng Garment Factory. I brought one set each for you and uncle. You can distribute the rest of the socks and underwear among yourselves."
Aunt Hu was so shocked by the amount of things that she couldn't close her mouth. She quickly refused, "No, I can't give you such expensive things. No, no, no."
"Auntie, please listen to me." Qin Xiang stuffed the things into Aunt Hu's hands and explained, "Let's not talk about your help before. Just this time, whether it's Uncle or Brother Sun, I can go to Hangzhou with you. I definitely couldn't go without their help. And you must know about what happened in Ningcheng. If it weren't for Brother Sun, my money might have been wasted. It may be a convenient thing for you, but it is very rare for me. These are just a few pieces of clothing. Brother Sun knows the cost price. If you say they are valuable, they are valuable. If you say they are worthless, they are worthless. Nothing is more important than friendship, so please accept them. Just consider it my filial piety to you and thank you for taking care of my third brother over the years, okay?"
Aunt Hu was a warm-hearted person. In fact, it wasn't just Qin Xiang and the others. Even if they came to her, she would definitely help them in any way she could. However, with so many people asking her for help, she would at most give them a snack of egg and noodles. No one was as polite as Qin Xiang.
When Sun Tieshu returned, he did tell them about Qin Xiang selling clothes on credit. He also mentioned the cost of the clothes, but even if each piece of clothing cost five yuan, four pieces would cost twenty yuan. Plus socks and underwear, the kid had a lot of stuff, and that still cost money. It was almost half a month's salary for a worker.
Qin Xiang said with a stern face, "Auntie, if you don't accept it, I won't dare to ask you for help in the future."
"Oh, you kid." Aunt Hu was about to cry. "Okay, I'll take you in. From now on, you can treat me as your own home. If you have any problems, come to me. I'll treat you as my own daughter."
Qin Xiang sighed, and the sound was very clear.
As for Sun Tieshu and Qin Yang, they are old partners. Although they have parted ways now, their feelings are still there and they have endless things to talk about.
But Qin Yang was still thinking about dinner, so he stood up and said goodbye.
Aunt Hu was really interested in Qin Xiang and refused to let her go no matter what. "You have to eat at home tonight before you leave."
Then he called his eldest grandson who had just returned from school to go sell meat.
At this time, Sun Tieshu's wife Wu Xiaoling also came back. Aunt Hu said, "Don't you have a dried rabbit? Let's stew it tonight."
Wu Xiaoling was happy, "Okay."
Qin Xiang felt embarrassed, "Aunt Hu, you don't have to be so polite."
"Just sit down and don't worry about it. Your sister-in-law and I will go cook."
Wu Xiaoling chuckled, "Qin Xiang, sit down, it's okay."
The brother and sister had dinner at the Sun family in the evening. Qin Yang was quite familiar with the Sun family and even had a couple of drinks with Sun Tieshu and Uncle Sun.
It was already past seven in the evening when we left Sun's house. Aunt Hu instructed us, "Come to me if you need help. If someone bullies you, tell me. I'll stand up for you."
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Okay, Auntie, you can go back."
After going downstairs, there were no more people outside. Qin Xiang sighed and said to Qin Yang, "Third brother, the Sun family is really nice, especially Aunt Hu."
"Yeah." Qin Yang said, "It's because of their kind families that I was able to partner with Sun Tieshu for so many years. They are all good people."
He glanced at Qin Xiang and said, "Xiangxiang, there are still many good people in this world."
Qin Xiang nodded, "I know."
Qin Yang laughed, "Let's go, don't you still have to study when you get back? Oh, and didn't you say you wanted to practice a few moves with me? You don't have time now."
Qin Xiang also remembered and said dryly, "How about forget it?"
"That won't work." Qin Yang said with a smile, "Practice when you get back."
Qin Xiang: "..."
One day she will suffer the consequences for the goals she set for herself, and look, here it comes.
When they arrived at the door, they saw a person squatting at the door. Qin Xiang was shocked when she looked closely and asked, "Why are you squatting here?"
