Chapter 4
At dawn, Qin Xiang opened her eyes and saw Wang Junsheng sitting there reading a book in his cotton jacket.
It must be said that Wang Junsheng was indeed good-looking when he was young. Although his facial features were a bit ordinary, he was quite handsome when put together. Moreover, he was a college student, well-mannered, and his speech and manners carried the flavor of a city cadre. If Qin Xiang hadn't known what kind of person Wang Junsheng was, she would have praised him.
In their previous life, the two of them didn't make it to the end. She was disgusted by Wang Junsheng and Cui Hong. Now, lying on the same kang with Wang Junsheng, she felt as disgusted as if she had eaten a fly.
Seeing that she had woken up and was staring at him in a daze, Wang Junsheng thought Qin Xiang wanted to reconcile with him, so he gave her a way out and reached out to fix her hair. However, Qin Xiang quickly dodged and said unhappily, "What are you doing?"
Wang Junsheng raised his hand uncomfortably, and the smile on his face fell. "I'm going to fix your hair. If you don't like it, forget it."
Qin Xiang ignored her and got up to get dressed. Wang Junsheng was a little unhappy with Qin Xiang's reaction. Since they were married, the couple should trust each other more. What happened yesterday was not his fault. He also explained it in a nice tone, so why wasn't it over yet?
But Wang Junsheng has always been a man who can control his temper. He knew it was not a good time to quarrel with Qin Xiang, so he changed the subject and stopped talking about it. "I ran into Wang Qingshan when I came back yesterday. He is working in the city now. I heard that he wanted to take his wife out after the New Year."
Qin Xiang paused, and couldn't help but remember that in her previous life, Cui Hong had indeed followed Wang Qingshan to the city to work, but for some reason, they divorced within two years. She had asked Cui Hong the reason, but Cui Hong refused to say, only covering her face and crying. At that time, she thought Wang Qingshan had done something wrong to Cui Hong and wanted to go to Wang Qingshan to settle the score, but Cui Hong just cried and stopped her from going.
Later, after experiencing betrayal, she saw Cui Hong's true face completely. Now she even suspected that Cui Hong had done something wrong to Wang Qingshan outside, which led to Wang Qingshan's divorce from Cui Hong.
In her memory, after Wang Qingshan and Cui Hong divorced, Cui Hong got married a few years later, but it was several years later that Wang Qingshan was introduced to a widow in the village and started living together. Later, she heard that Wang Qingshan and his wife opened a doorstep business in the county town and lived a good life.
I just don’t know whether Cui Hong will follow Wang Qingshan to work in the city in this life.
"What are you thinking about?" Wang Junsheng poked Qin Xiang.
"Nothing." Qin Xiang frowned and dodged to the side, then asked tentatively, "You still have a year and a half until you graduate from university, and some people in the village are going out to work. How about I go to the capital with you after the New Year? I can go and work, and I can wash your clothes and cook for you, so we don't have to be separated."
However, Wang Junsheng frowned and refused without hesitation, "No, you are so beautiful, I don't want you to go out."
After saying this, Wang Junsheng was afraid that Qin Xiang would be angry, so he said seriously, "Wait for me for a year. After graduation, when I have a stable job, I will take you over. Now is not the right time. I don't make any money myself, so how can I expect my wife to make money to support me? It won't sound good if I tell others about it, and I can't bear to let you go out with me and suffer."
Qin Xiang looked at his expression and suddenly laughed, "See how scared you are, I'm not going. I'm just a country girl, why would I go to the capital? I'm not going."
Wang Junsheng breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm telling the truth. I really do feel sorry for you. I'm afraid you'll get hurt when you're out. It's different out there than in the village. We all know each other, and with my connections, no one will give you any trouble. It's different out there. People are cunning and treacherous. Many people who appear to be good actually have evil intentions. It's easy for a kind person like you to get hurt."
"I understand." Qin Xiang was too lazy to listen to his chatter, so she turned around and left.
Wang Junsheng had just brought up the topic when the person left, and he immediately felt angry again. He felt that Qin Xiang was not enthusiastic about him. If Qin Xiang said a few more nice words, maybe he would give in, but what was her attitude?
This morning it was Qin Xiang's turn to make breakfast. As soon as Qin Xiang went out, she saw Cai Hongyan and Yu Qiaomei already in the kitchen. Seeing Qin Xiang coming out, Cai Hongyan said, "Oh, Third Sister-in-law, you got up really early today. Don't come over to make breakfast. The Third Brother has finally come back. You two should be closer. Your second sister-in-law and I will make breakfast and we'll be done."
Qin Xiang ignored the teasing in her words. It was perfect that she didn't have to cook. She thanked her directly and went into the house to apply some facial oil.
Wang Junsheng came back from the toilet and asked casually, "Don't you dislike using this?"
"I suddenly like it again." Qin Xiang evenly spread the cream on her face, and her dry face instantly became moisturized. Her skin was already fair, and now it was even more translucent and radiant. She suddenly had a premonition that Cui Hong would come over again today.
Yesterday, she'd already said Wang Junsheng would buy her some vanishing cream. If she didn't use it, how could she possibly stimulate Cui Hong? Having experienced this again, Qin Xiang decided to observe this adulterous couple carefully. With just a little twist, would their relationship develop differently?
Wang Junsheng agreed, "It's better to put some on in winter. The girls in college like this."
Qin Xiang turned around in surprise and said meaningfully, "You really understand your female classmates."
Hearing this, he knew Qin Xiang had misunderstood. Combined with Qin Xiang's reaction after he came back, Wang Junsheng became even more unhappy. He reached out and grabbed Qin Xiang's arm, asking, "Qin Xiang, tell me clearly, what are you doing?"
Qin Xiang laughed, "Did I make a fuss?"
She just woke up and knew Wang Junsheng's bad character in advance, so she stayed away from him earlier. Could it be that he still wanted her to say sweet words to him like she did in her previous life?
Bah! Don't you even consider whether you are worthy of it?
The disdain in Qin Xiang's eyes stung Wang Junsheng's eyes, and his hand loosened. He laughed angrily, "Okay, you didn't make trouble, I was the one making trouble, okay?"
After saying that, Wang Junsheng went out directly.
The two of them closed the door and quarreled quietly. The Wang family outside didn't notice it at all and thought they were being intimate with the door closed. For this reason, Cui Lianhua even considerately sent everyone else into the house.
Seeing Wang Junsheng coming out, he seemed annoyed, so he asked, "Third brother, what's wrong? It's not easy for Qin Xiang to be alone at home. Don't get angry with her. You should coax your wife more, okay?"
Wang Junsheng paused, thinking about what his mother said, and suddenly he understood something.
I've been alone in the empty house for half a year. Could it be that I'm angry with him because of this?
Wang Junsheng smiled, his expression relaxed. "Nothing happened. Don't worry."
After breakfast, Cui Lianhua made arrangements with her family as usual. When she arrived at the third room, she changed her serious demeanor and said gently, "The third child has just returned, so he should have a good rest. Qin Xiang will accompany him."
Cai Hongyan was already pouting, and Cui Lianhua frowned, "They haven't seen each other for such a long time, why don't they have a good reunion?"
Wang Junsheng hadn't forgotten the gift he gave her yesterday. Cai Hongyan smiled hurriedly, "Mom, I didn't say anything. My third brother and his wife really should spend more time together so they can give you a grandson soon."
Wang Junsheng felt embarrassed after hearing this. He turned to look at Qin Xiang, only to find that she was still distracted. Having a baby was a good thing, but it was just too unfortunate. But it didn't matter. It would be fine in a few days. Winter vacation was over twenty days long. He would work harder to get Qin Xiang pregnant. Once she was pregnant, she wouldn't have the energy to make such a fuss anymore.
Everyone else was busy with their own things. Wang Junsheng pulled Qin Xiang back to her room. Qin Xiang was afraid that he would do something, so she hurriedly said, "You go back and rest. I'll embroider the shoe pads in this room."
"It's the same if we go back to the house. I can still give you some yarn." Wang Junsheng looked at her, not knowing what Qin Xiang was upset about. They had been married for a year and had done everything they needed to do. Even if she felt wronged at home alone, he was back now and was humble enough to accompany her. What else could she be dissatisfied with?
After all, Wang Junsheng was still young, and at this moment, he wasn't as mature and steady as he had been through the trials and tribulations of society, and couldn't hide his emotions. Qin Xiang saw the dissatisfaction in his eyes and shook her head, "It's bright in this room."
This was not a lie. Wang Junsheng responded and did not leave. "Then I'll stay here with you."
Qin Xiang said, "It's up to you."
Seeing that Wang Junsheng really gave her nothing, Qin Xiang felt a headache again. How should she file for divorce?
It would be very difficult for her to get a divorce without a reason.
After all, in the eyes of everyone, even her family, she was marrying up. But now she felt disgusted when she looked at Wang Junsheng and she really couldn't wait any longer.
Just at this moment, voices were heard outside. Qin Xiang looked out and saw Cui Hong talking to Cui Lianhua.
Cui Hong kept her head down as usual, and her hands were twirling her clothes nervously. Cui Lianhua didn't know what she said. Cui Hong raised her head and glanced towards the main hall. When she met Qin Xiang's gaze, she smiled firmly, turned around and left.
Qin Xiang stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
As she said that, she went out. Wang Junsheng leaned over to the window and took a look. Through the crack in the window, he saw Qin Xiang chasing Cui Hong out. From his position, he could only see Cui Hong's graceful figure.
Wang Junsheng couldn't help but sigh. This Cui Hong was truly different. Wang Qingshan was truly lucky to have such a good wife. If only Qin Xiang could be so gentle. Which man wouldn't like a gentle and delicate wife? But Qin Xiang was so stubborn and even acted like a spoiled child with him.
At this time, Cui Lianhua came in with a frown on her face, muttering, "Qin Xiang, too. With Cui Hong's character, there's no point in associating with her. Why did she have to bring her home..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw Qin Xiang dragging Cui Hong, who looked aggrieved, in. Cui Lianhua, no matter how unhappy she was, would not lose face for Cui Hong in front of Qin Xiang. She curled her lips and said, "You guys go back to the room and play."
Qin Xiang saw Cui Hong come in, then stole a glance at Wang Junsheng, then lowered her eyes again and said, "Why don't we go sit in my room and chat? It won't be cold if we heat the kang."
Cui Hong glanced at Wang Junsheng and said hesitantly, "This is so bad."
"It's okay, Junsheng won't mind." Qin Xiang said, looking at Wang Junsheng, "Don't you think so?"
Wang Junsheng nodded perfunctorily, feeling a little upset.
So Qin Xiang took Cui Hong back to the east wing where she lived. Cui Hong glanced at the extra quilt on the kang and knew that it was Wang Junsheng who was covering himself with it.
Thinking of the dream last night, Cui Hong looked at Qin Xiang's moisturized face again, and felt even more unhappy when she lowered her eyes.
"Your face seems to be more beautiful now." Cui Hong said.
Qin Xiang touched her face and smiled, "Who says it's not true? Women need to be moisturized, otherwise their faces will be unsightly."
Qin Xiang's words were a double entendre, and Cui Hong completely misunderstood them, thinking that Qin Xiang was just showing off Wang Junsheng's kindness to her and demonstrating her superiority. She was too familiar with this kind of drama since she was a child.
"Here's this for you, try it." Qin Xiang took a piece of chocolate from the drawer and handed it over. "This was specially brought back for me by Junsheng. I heard it's imported from abroad. I think it's just average."
Cui Hong took it, tore open a piece and tasted it, her mouth full of bitterness.
Wang Junsheng also bought it for her in her dream.
Cui Hong was eating chocolate when she suddenly heard Qin Xiang sigh. She looked up and saw Qin Xiang suddenly say, "Sometimes I feel that life is boring."
Cui Hong raised her eyebrows and her heart started beating fast.
What does this mean?
