Chapter 70
Principal Cao and Ning Sumei also discussed the issue of which school to apply to. Based on Qin Xiang's grades, they wanted Qin Xiang to apply to Tsinghua University.
But Qin Xiang also told Ning Sumei that it seemed to be the same wherever she went.
So Principal Cao was really worried that Qin Xiang would apply directly to the provincial university just because his shop was in the provincial capital.
The provincial university is certainly good and is ranked in the top ten in the country, but there is still a big gap compared to Tsinghua University.
After asking this question, several teachers looked at Qin Xiang eagerly, waiting for her answer, holding their breath for fear of missing any words.
Looking at their expressions, Qin Xiang couldn't help but sigh in her heart, then laughed, "Tsing Hua University."
The scene was quiet for a moment, and then several teachers breathed a sigh of relief.
With that score, he estimated he'd be good enough to get into National Tsing Hua University. National Tsing Hua University enrolled about 40 students in their province each year, and Qin Xiang had been getting in for more than 20 years during the pre-exams. Qin Xiang was always steady, and his estimated score wasn't low, so getting in should be a no-brainer.
Ning Sumei's face lit up with a hint of joy, but she added, "Let's re-estimate this afternoon. Even if we don't apply to Tsinghua University, applying to several other universities in the capital would also be very good."
If Qin Xiang hadn't been so absorbed in business, Ning Sumei would have wanted to recommend Qin Xiang to Harbin Institute of Technology.
Qin Xiang nodded and responded, "Okay."
When Qin Xiang was just reborn, she thought that as long as she could get into a university, it didn't matter whether it was a college or a junior college, as long as she had a degree. Later, she thought that applying to a provincial university would also be a good choice, as it was close to her store.
But she herself did not expect to get such a high score in the preliminary exam, and then other thoughts arose in her heart. She was no longer satisfied with staying in their provincial capital.
She wants to go to the capital to try her luck.
In his previous life, it was not until before the millennium that Wang Junsheng expanded his business to the capital, and the headquarters was in Pengcheng, so Qin Xiang did not go to the capital very often.
But she thought of the courtyard houses in the capital. In the future, the price of a courtyard house would be sky-high. So could she buy one while it was still cheap?
After these years, Qin Xiang thought carefully about his business and it seemed that it would be a good idea to open it in the capital.
So after much consideration, I decided on Tsinghua University.
Of course, Qin Xiang plans to apply directly to the provincial university as her second choice. If she can't get into Tsinghua University, then she won't go there and will just stay in the provincial capital.
The food came and everyone ate while chatting. In the afternoon, several teachers asked Qin Xiang to go to the office and write down her answers.
Fortunately, Qin Xiang has a good memory and he would look over the test paper again every time he finished answering it, otherwise he would not be able to estimate the score like this.
But for subjects like politics and Chinese, I haven’t memorized some parts thoroughly, so I can only vaguely write down the key points of the answers.
In this way, Qin Xiang's score was finally estimated to be 630 points, which was eight points higher than the score Qin Xiang had estimated before.
Ning Sumei's face lit up with joy. "We've been very strict with our score estimates, and we still managed to get a score like this. I think applying to National Tsinghua University will be no problem."
Teacher He said, "You can consider HKUST as an alternative school. You still have to go to the capital to study."
Qin Xiang touched her nose and said nothing, because her second choice would only be the provincial university.
Qin Xiang stayed at the guesthouse that night. Qin Hai came over to look at her and asked about her estimated score. Then he said, "Call Dad back when you have time. He's thinking about you too."
Qin Xiang nodded, "Okay."
As long as she doesn't call her mother back, she's not afraid of calling her father back.
She had a meal with Qin Hai outside, and Qin Hai kept asking her about the situation in the provincial capital.
Hearing him ask this, Qin Xiang understood a little bit in her heart that her second brother was a little tempted.
When did my second brother take a leave of absence from work in my previous life to open a convenience store?
It seems that when my second sister-in-law was laid off, the whole family pooled their resources to open a small shop, with my second sister-in-law looking after it. Then, in the early 1990s, my second brother was also laid off, so the couple again pooled their resources to open a small shop. Later, the small shop grew into a large supermarket in the county, but they didn't expand, and instead lived happily with the shop as a family of four.
Qin Xiang asked him, "Second brother, do you have any ideas?"
"Yes, but I need to think about it."
Qin Xiang didn't press the issue and only talked about some changes in the provincial capital without saying anything more.
After seeing off his second brother, Qin Xiang used the phone in the guesthouse to call the village. It was still light outside, and every household had gone home even if they were working.
Secretary Qin answered the phone and heard Qin Xiang's voice and asked happily, "Are you estimating your scores today?"
Qin Xiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, after estimating the scores, I thought about calling my dad to ask about the situation at home."
"Is that so?" Secretary Qin said in embarrassment. "But your father is probably not at home right now. He's been building houses for people these days with those young men from the village."
"Build a house?" Qin Xiang was even more confused.
Secretary Qin explained, "Everyone's living conditions are better now, so they're taking advantage of the slack season to build a house and get married. Your father has organized a few young men to go out and do some work. Your second brother has gone too, and he hasn't come back yet. How about I call your mother to answer the phone?"
Qin Xiang quickly refused when she heard this, "Forget it, let's talk about it later."
Is she crazy to call her mother, waiting for her mother to ask for benefits?
Thinking of her mother and Tanaka Mei and others, Qin Xiang couldn't help but sneer. She didn't want to go back even after the college entrance examination.
The next morning, Qin Xiang went to school to fill out her application. Seeing that Qin Xiang had chosen Tsinghua University, Teacher He became a little worried. "What if I'm not accepted by my first choice, and my second choice is not accepted?"
"Bah, if you can't get in with this score, then who else can?" Ning Sumei said unhappily, "This exam is more difficult than the preliminaries. Back then, Qin Xiang was able to rank in the top 20 in the province with a score of just over 600. This time, it will only be better."
Then Ning Sumei watched Qin Xiang write the provincial university in the second column. As for the third column, Qin Xiang did not leave it blank, but wrote the university next door. Anyway, they were all good universities.
Ning Sumei frowned, "Why don't you write about the school in the capital?"
Qin Xiang said, "These two are also good. The design majors are quite good."
After filling out the application form, Qin Xiang had nothing else to do and prepared to return to the provincial capital.
Principal Cao said with difficulty, "Student Qin Xiang, can you talk to the current sophomores about studying?"
"Talk about studying?" Qin Xiang hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. "Principal, the scores haven't come out yet, and I don't know exactly how high I'll get, so I won't talk about it for now. But I promise that if the results come out and I score above 600, I'll talk to the younger students about it. Is that okay with you?"
Hearing this, Principal Cao became happy and said, "Okay, of course."
It would be great if Qin Xiang could become the top scorer in the city exam. It would be so inspiring if he could tell the students about it through a loud speaker.
Principal Cao almost personally escorted Qin Xiang out of the school. Qin Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Principal, this is not good. I am your student."
"I understand, I understand." Principal Cao paused and said with a straight face, "Wait until the admission letter comes in. I'll definitely give the principal a chance to treat you to a meal."
Qin Xiang laughed. She was still thinking about how she had secretly paid for the meal yesterday. She nodded and said, "It's a deal."
After leaving the school, Qin Xiang went to see Qin Juan again. Qin Juan looked pretty good, but Qin Xiang could clearly see that there was a bruise at the corner of Qin Juan's mouth, which made Qin Xiang's heart sink.
As if noticing her gaze, Qin Juan smiled and said, "He didn't fight here."
Qin Xiang didn't believe this at all. "Could it be that you touched it yourself? Tell me, where did you touch it by such a coincidence that it hit the corner of your mouth?"
"It was a bump." Qin Juan looked at her sister, and the smile on her face slowly fell. She looked at Qin Xiang with a bleak expression, "I have a child. What will happen to Nian Nian if I get divorced?"
Qin Xiang: "With you, are you still worried that our Qin family can't raise a child?"
"That's not what I meant." Qin Juan said bitterly, "But if a child doesn't have a complete family, he'll be laughed at when he goes to school."
Qin Xiang frowned. "If people knew she had a father who only knew how to beat people and a cowardly mother, wouldn't anyone laugh at her? They would only laugh at her even more."
Qin Juan stammered in silence, and Qin Xiang continued, "After the divorce, go to the provincial capital and go to school there. No one will know about her past."
Seeing Qin Juan like this, Qin Xiang was truly disappointed. She knew her fourth sister's temper—she was soft-hearted and soft-hearted. She would soften when someone asked her for help and couldn't bring herself to be cruel. "Think about it yourself. What kind of child will Zhao Di become if she grows up in such an environment? Will she think that women deserve to be beaten? Will she think that women are inherently inferior to men? It's not enough that you got beaten yourself. Do you want your daughter to accept this kind of thinking? Get married, get beaten, and then think that she is inferior to men and have to serve the whole family? Do you want her to follow in your footsteps?"
"No." Qin Juan raised her head suddenly, her face horrified. "No, I don't want her to be like me."
Qin Xiang glanced at her watch. "I'm going back now. Think about it yourself. If you want a divorce, just call me. My third and second brothers and I will support you. You have your family to rely on. If you go to the provincial capital, I'll use my connections to find a school for Nian Nian. You can work as a clerk for me. Anyway, it will be better than staying here. But you should also know that if you don't divorce, even if we can support you, it will only be temporary. We can't keep an eye on Zhao Qianjin for you forever."
After saying that, Qin Xiang left, and Qin Juan stood there for a long time, unable to move.
Maybe some decisions really need to be made.
But not now, her sister just finished the college entrance examination, and she can't cause trouble at this time.
When Qin Xiang came out of Qin's house, she ran into Qin Juan's mother-in-law Gao Yulan. When the old lady saw Qin Xiang, her eyes lit up and she said, "Qin Xiang, I heard you went to the province."
Qin Xiang hummed, not wanting to pay attention to her. Gao Yulan smiled flatteringly, "So, do you have a partner?"
"No." Qin Xiang looked at her and said meaningfully, "Why are you looking for a partner? You're living a comfortable life, why would you look for a man to fight with?"
Gao Yulan's face suddenly turned ugly. She said awkwardly, "You can't say that. Your brother-in-law...%"
Before she could finish her words, she saw Qin Xiang go downstairs. Gao Yulan pouted, "Little devil."
But then she thought of the task entrusted to her by her sister-in-law, and she suddenly felt that there was a ready-made one.
Gao Yulan thought of this and quickly went to call Qin Xiang, but unexpectedly, Qin Xiang had already walked away. Gao Yulan felt a little regretful and went straight home to Qin Juan and said, "Qin Juan, your sister doesn't have a partner now, right?"
Qin Juan was just listening to Qin Xiang's words. She was in a state of conflict between her conscience and her conscience. When her mother-in-law interrupted her, she forgot what she was thinking about. "Probably not."
Gao Yulan was delighted and said hurriedly, "You know my nephew from my mother's family, his wife died, and he's looking for a daughter-in-law. She's only two years older than your sister, and my family doesn't mind your sister being a second-marriage... Why are you looking at me like that?"
Gao Yulan was talking excitedly when she saw Qin Juan looking at her in shock. She immediately became unhappy and said, "You unlucky person, why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I can give birth to a son?"
"What does my son have to do with my sister? What does your nephew finding a wife have to do with my sister?" Qin Juan was angry. She and Nian Nian had suffered even more grievances at home. She didn't expect that her mother-in-law would even set her sights on her sister. What kind of monsters are this family?
Qin Juan's lips trembled with anger. "Don't set your sights on my sister. Your nephew is not worthy."
After saying that, Qin Juan went to the kitchen to cook.
Gao Yulan was so angry that she started cursing in the room, "Do you really think your sister is any good? The clothes she's wearing don't look like a decent person. She said she was doing business in the provincial capital, but she might have already gotten into the bed of some nouveau riche. The fact that my nephew likes her is a blessing your Qin family has received in eight lifetimes. You are so shameless."
In the kitchen, Qin Juan was chopping vegetables with a kitchen knife. As she listened to Gao Yulan's vicious words, she grew increasingly furious. She suppressed her anger as she continued chopping, her fingers trembling uncontrollably. She had always known that the Zhao family mother and son were not good people. She had thought that her forbearance would bring about change, that Zhao Qianjin would become a better person. But now she knew that it was all just her fantasy.
A dog will never stop eating shit.
Qin Juan cut the vegetables quickly, chopping the potato shreds directly into potato cubes. The cracks on the chopping board looked very much like this hideous family.
Gao Yulan still didn't give up. She ran to the kitchen door and continued to curse, "She must be very lucky that my nephew likes her. Only your family treats such a shameless thing as a treasure. Who knows who will...ah!"
Qin Juan turned around, holding a kitchen knife in her hand and standing only half a meter away from Gao Yulan. She glared at her with gritted teeth, wishing she could eat Gao Yulan. "Just say that again!"
The newly sharpened kitchen knife was extremely sharp. Now it was right in front of her. It seemed that if she dared to say another word, the knife would really cut her.
Gao Yulan's eyes widened, she swallowed unconsciously, and said tremblingly, "Qin Juan, what do you want to do? Do you want to kill me? I'm your mother-in-law!"
"You're my mother-in-law?" Qin Juan looked at her and found it inexplicably funny. "You should be thankful that you're my mother-in-law, otherwise, this kitchen knife of mine would definitely fall on you."
This was the first time Qin Juan got angry since she married into the Zhao family, and it really scared Gao Yulan.
Qin Juan chopped the kitchen knife hard on the chopping board without turning her head, "Gao Yulan, if it happens again, I will definitely chop you with this kitchen knife to test its sharpness."
She turned around and stared at Gao Yulan, "If you don't believe me, just try it."
The smell of urine suddenly filled the small air. Qin Juan looked down in disgust. The old woman's vagina was dripping with liquid, running down her trouser legs. Qin Juan was extremely disgusted and said fiercely, "Get out."
Gao Yulan didn't dare to stay for long. She turned around quickly and went back into the room, then burst into earth-shaking tears.
This was the first time Qin Juan had defied Gao Yulan since she married into the Zhao family. Gao Yulan was used to being a tyrant, and she had never imagined Qin Juan could be so powerful. She couldn't help but think of Qin Xiang, who had left her home. That girl must have said something to Qin Juan, otherwise she wouldn't be so angry.
Gao Yulan sat on the edge of the bed, crying and cursing, thinking that she would wait for her son to come back and teach him a lesson. This woman deserved to be punished.
Listening to Gao Yulan's crying, Qin Juan looked at the kitchen knife in front of her and suddenly couldn't help laughing.
She bullies the weak and fears the strong. It seems that she was too soft in the past, making people think she was easy to bully.
However, as Qin Juan was laughing, she suddenly couldn't laugh anymore. She squatted in the kitchen, hugged her knees, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
The people outside who were watching the excitement listened to the noise and did not leave until it completely died down.
I even felt a little regretful that I didn't get to see the exciting match.
She heard Nian Nian calling for her mother outside, and Qin Juan quickly composed herself and went out.
For the sake of her child, Qin Juan felt different emotions for the first time. Perhaps her sister was right.
