Chapter 9
Qin Xiang discovered that sometimes people just have to be tough, at least no one dares to mess with them if they are tough.
In the past, Cai Hongyan would say some sour words during meals, hoping to take advantage of her. However, these past two days, because Qin Xiang was making a fuss about taking the college entrance examination, Cai Hongyan didn't dare to talk to Qin Xiang.
It was just as well that she didn't say anything. Qin Xiang was happy and at ease. However, her naive mother-in-law always looked at her with a guilty look on her face, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself, which made Qin Xiang unable to eat.
As usual, Qin Xiang was given an egg for breakfast. Qin Xiang took it and Wang Junsheng frowned.
Qin Xiang looked at him and asked, "I can't eat?"
"That's not what I meant." Wang Junsheng stood up and walked out, then turned back to look at her, "Are you really not going to the county for a stroll?"
Before Qin Xiang could say anything, Cui Lianhua suddenly said, "Why don't you go together today and get your marriage certificate?"
These words were spoken suddenly, and Qin Xiang and the Wang family were all stunned.
Cui Lianhua said, "Xiangxiang, you're already 20 years old, so you should get the marriage certificate as soon as possible. That way, Junsheng can go to school with peace of mind. Are you feeling uneasy about the college entrance examination? If you two get the certificate quickly, everything will be fine. When your third child goes to school, bring the marriage certificate and tell others that you're married. Qinxiang, you'll feel relieved, right?"
Wang Junsheng finally remembered. When they got married at the end of last year, they hadn't even had a wedding banquet because Qin Xiang wasn't old enough. Now, they were only in a de facto marriage, not a legally recognized couple. Qin Xiang had been making a fuss about taking the college entrance exam the past two days, so they really should register sooner rather than later. Divorce was shameful, so he couldn't get a divorce.
"Yes, Xiangxiang, let's go together today. Taking wedding photos is popular in the city now. I will take you to take some photos, okay?" Wang Junsheng's voice softened, perhaps because he was afraid of another accident.
Qin Xiang peeled the egg, took a bite and ate it, then said, "I'm not going."
When these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked. Cui Lianhua's eyes widened and she said, "Xiangxiang, stop it. How can a couple not register? Not registering is not acceptable."
Wang Junsheng's face was also very ugly. Seeing Qin Xiang's nonchalant look, he was immediately embarrassed and angry. He had given Qin Xiang such a way out, but she still refused to give in. She must have been used to it. He just walked away and said, "Forget it."
He really didn't believe that Qin Xiang really wanted to divorce him. Not to mention in the countryside, even in the city, divorce was something that would be criticized. He was afraid of him as a man, let alone Qin Xiang, a woman who could be drowned by the villagers' spit.
In this area, even without a marriage certificate, they are recognized as a de facto couple. Many people do not get a marriage certificate even though their children are several years old. They wait until the children are ready for school and register their household registration before hastily giving them a name and getting a marriage certificate.
And Wang Junsheng was indeed angry. He felt that he and his mother had been too good to Qin Xiang in the past, causing Qin Xiang to lose her mind. Since Qin Xiang was not going, then forget it.
Wang Junsheng walked out of the house and breathed a sigh of relief as he felt the cold wind. He felt very unhappy.
Just then, the door of Wang Qingshan's house next door opened, and Cui Hong came out, still wearing the same clothes, twisting her waist. When she saw Wang Junsheng, she was stunned. She didn't expect her luck to be so good. It seems that she will have to come out more often in the future.
Cui Hong pursed her lips and smiled shyly, "Brother Junsheng, why are you out in such a cold weather?"
The other person was so kind and was a neighbor, so Wang Junsheng couldn't ignore him, so he reluctantly said, "I have something to do in the county."
Cui Hong noticed that he looked unhappy, so she asked with concern, "Did something happen? You don't look well. Did you catch a cold this morning? Junsheng, you're a college student. You have a bright future ahead of you. You can't catch a cold, or Xiangxiang will be distressed."
It would be fine if Qin Xiang wasn't mentioned. Wang Junsheng became irritated the moment Qin Xiang was mentioned. "She won't feel sorry for me."
Wang Junsheng was about to leave after saying this. He took two steps, hesitated, and then took a few steps towards Cui Hong. "When you have time, go talk to Qin Xiang and persuade her."
Wang Junsheng became more and more dissatisfied with Qin Xiang when he saw Cui Hong. They were still friends, but their personalities were so different. Why didn't he realize that Qin Xiang had such a stubborn temper before? Even if she was half as gentle as Cui Hong, she wouldn't make him so unhappy.
Cui Hong asked worriedly, "Did you have a fight?" She sighed and said helplessly, "Xiangxiang is just too stubborn, but don't worry, Junsheng, I will talk to her properly. Husband and wife shouldn't quarrel. Especially women, who have to rely on men to make a living. How can they quarrel with their husbands and become alienated? It's not good."
Wang Junsheng felt very relieved after hearing this, and he looked at Cui Hong with even more favor. He nodded and said, "Thank you in advance. I'll bring you a thank-you gift from the county later."
Cui Hong pursed her lips and smiled, "That's not necessary, but can you bring something for me? Qingshan left in a hurry this morning and I forgot to tell him."
Wang Junsheng didn't hesitate when he heard this. After all, the other party agreed to help, so he nodded and said, "Whatever you want to take, I will buy it for you."
Cui Hong looked at him timidly and said, "I want to bring a bottle of friendship cream. We have run out of it at home, and my face is a little dry."
Hearing this, Wang Junsheng glanced at Cui Hong's face. Her face was very white, and her skin was so tender that you could squeeze water out of it. Such a face really needed to be protected. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll bring it to you. It's a simple matter."
Wang Junsheng rode off on his bike, and Cui Hong's smile gradually widened as she stood there. Qin Xiang and Wang Junsheng had a fight, and while they didn't know the reason, it certainly planted the seeds of conflict between the couple. Wang Junsheng's winter break was only about twenty days long, so he had to succeed no matter what. It looked like he needed to push Qin Xiang a little harder.
Cui Hong was very satisfied to meet Wang Junsheng twice in the morning. When Wang Junsheng brought her something back, would she be able to meet him again?
——
The atmosphere in the Wang family's main hall was somewhat subdued. Apart from Cui Lianhua, no one dared to utter a word. Cui Lianhua's expression also turned unhappy. "Xiangxiang, although it is true that you are married, it would be better to get a marriage certificate. What kind of couple would not get one?"
Qin Xiang ignored this and just asked, "Mom, I want to take the college entrance examination, go to university, pursue progress, and stand in front of Junsheng. Otherwise, I will feel that I am not worthy of Junsheng. Do you agree?"
Here it comes again. Cui Lianhua suppressed her anger and said softly, "Even if you don't take the college entrance examination, Junsheng won't dare to abandon you. You are good-looking and a high school student, which is enough for Junsheng. Just be at ease. As long as I am here, Junsheng won't dare to let you down. If he dares to do anything wrong outside, I will break his legs."
Listen, this old lady is so good at talking. She really cares for Qin Xiang more than her own mother. In her previous life, although Qin Xiang knew that Cui Lianhua was a good playboy, she didn't care because they didn't have a falling out. But that doesn't mean she knows nothing. Later, when Cui Hong and Wang Junsheng's affair broke out and she wanted a divorce, her mother-in-law still told her that a daughter-in-law should be virtuous and generous. Men are just like that when they play around. After all, she, Qin Xiang, is the eldest wife, so it's best not to care.
Later, she deliberately made Wang Junsheng bankrupt, and Cui Lianhua came to his house crying and said it was not that serious. Is it really not that serious? In fact, it was really that serious.
Qin Xiang pursed her lips. "That's different. If I get into college, I'll be more confident and we can develop better. Anyway, I want to go to college."
Cui Lianhua was also unhappy, "Are you determined to take the college entrance examination?"
Qin Xiang smiled, "Yes. If you don't let me take the college entrance exam, then we'll get divorced."
The bright smile almost told the Wang family that if they didn't agree, they wouldn't get the marriage certificate.
Cui Lianhua said nothing more and stood up to clean the table. Qin Xiang walked away, "I'm going back to my room to study."
Cui Lianhua was so angry that she almost fell to the ground. She suddenly felt that Qin Xiang was deliberately trying to make her angry.
"Second brother, you clean the table." Cui Lianhua clutched her chest and groaned, saying it hurt. Qin Xiang said, "Mom, the position you're clutching is a little low."
Cui Lianhua paused, then changed her position again, "My whole body hurts."
Then he turned and went into the inner room.
Qin Xiang went straight back to the house, added some firewood to the kang, then got on the kang, picked up a book and started reading.
In the main hall, Cui Lianhua was furious, gritting her teeth and cursing Qin Xiang for a long time. Wang Dazhu shrank his neck, "Why not let her take the exam? If she really lets her take it, she'll know her own worth. It's so easy to get into university, then she'll be at peace. It's not good to make a scene during the New Year. She even talked about divorce, I wonder how she feels."
Cui Lianhua glared and said in a low voice, "That won't do. We can't indulge her bad habits. If she really divorced, how could she find a partner as good as our Junsheng? She doesn't dare to divorce, she just wants to scare us with divorce. Besides, she used to be a good student. If she hadn't had a stomachache, she might have passed the exam. If I wanted her to get into university, I wouldn't have done that..."
She didn't say anything else, but snorted, "Anyway, we can't let her take the exam. What if she does pass? With a face like that, she's not worthy of being a high school student. If she does become a college student, she'll be cheating on our son. The third child is promising. It's best if one of the two in a family is capable. What if both are stronger and surpass our son? She'll just shit on Junsheng."
Hearing this, Wang Dazhu thought about it and realized that it was true. In this family, women should not be too strong compared to men, otherwise it would cause chaos. He thought of a solution, "Then you go find your mother-in-law or Qin's sister-in-law and ask them to help persuade them. It's the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, and we have to go back in a few days to give New Year's gifts. Let them persuade them then. Our words don't work, so how can we not listen to our mother and sister-in-law?"
But Cui Lianhua hesitated and frowned, "But I've said a lot of bad things before. Qin Xiang has some complaints about her family."
Wang Dazhu didn't care. "There's no such thing as an overnight grudge between a mother and daughter. Even if we do quarrel, let her know that her parents' family is not her husband's family. When her parents' family is not available, she still has to rely on her husband's family. Then we can say a few good words to her and be her last resort. I don't believe she won't be soft-hearted. Maybe she will be closer to us in the future."
Cui Lianhua's eyes flickered, and a smile finally appeared on her face. She reached out and patted Wang Dazhu on the shoulder, "Old man, you are really capable. It is really a blessing for me to marry you. No wonder the third child is so capable, he inherited it from you."
Wang Dazhu was somewhat pleased with himself, thinking back to when he was young, he was also a capable man, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time. He straightened his back and said, "Go quickly."
Cui Lianhua got up and went out. Seeing that the door of the east wing was closed, she went straight to the kitchen, took ten eggs and went out.
Qin Xiang didn't know that Cui Lianhua went to her mother's home. At this moment, Qin Xiang was also thinking about her mother's home.
Even if she didn't want to inform her parents about the divorce, Wang Junsheng would eventually have to contact her parents if the matter got out of hand. The problem was that her family was also born and raised in the countryside, and they probably wouldn't accept her divorce.
Especially her elder brother and sister-in-law, she suspected that they had received some benefits from Cui Lianhua, which made them spare no effort to promote this marriage.
As for her parents, they are both rural people with rigid ideas, and they regard divorce as a disaster.
So who else can she turn to?
I'm afraid it's only her third brother. Thinking of her third brother in her previous life, Qin Xiang couldn't help but sigh. Now that she's back in this life, she can't let her third brother go back to his old ways. As for her second brother and fourth sister, they both have their own families and probably can't take care of her anymore.
Then I can only go to my third brother to explain the situation first.
Then let's go tomorrow. I'll meet Wang Xiao today and see if I can make things bigger. Otherwise, I'm afraid no one will agree to divorce just because of the college entrance exam.
Just as she was thinking, she heard Cui Hong's voice outside. Qin Xiang was happy. Cui Hong came again. She had been coming here quite frequently these days. Cui Hong had been married next door for half a year and had never come here before. But she had been coming here more frequently these days since Wang Junsheng came back.
Qin Xiang smiled meaningfully. It was really interesting.
When Cui Hong entered the room, before Qin Xiang could say anything, she spoke, "Xiangxiang, I came to thank you."
Qin Xiang raised an eyebrow, "Thank you?"
Cui Hong blushed and told what happened that morning, "Thanks to Brother Junsheng this morning, otherwise I don't know what I would have done."
Qin Xiang almost vomited when she saw her expression. She had already started a conversation and was trying to flatter her. She even called Junsheng brother, which was really affectionate.
Qin Xiang said magnanimously, "These are all trivial matters. You are my best friend, and it's great that he can help you. If you need help in the future, just tell me directly. Don't hesitate."
At the same time, she murmured in her heart that Wang Qingshan was indeed unlucky to have to marry such a thing. If Cui Hong really got together with Wang Junsheng one day, Wang Qingshan would probably be so angry that he would die.
However, Qin Xiang didn't consider herself a good person, and she didn't intend to intervene in the matter. She just pretended not to know. If Cui Hong really wanted to get promoted, she would definitely take action. Wang Junsheng only had so much vacation time. When he returned next time, it would be summer vacation. Who knew if there would be other unexpected events?
So Qin Xiang felt that Cui Hong would probably seize every opportunity during the winter vacation.
As expected, Cui Hong was moved when she heard Qin Xiang say that. She looked at Qin Xiang with a pair of beautiful eyes filled with joy and said, "Xiangxiang, you are so good to me. My parents have never been so good to me."
Qin Xiang said cheerfully, "These are all trivial matters. We don't care about these things. What's mine is yours."
Cui Hong nodded, a look of joy on her face.
Thinking of Wang Xiao, Qin Xiang said, "It's okay for you to go back. Just play here in the morning. Xiaoxiao will be back at noon, and we can chat with classmates."
"Wang Xiao?" Cui Hong blinked, remembering her dream. Honestly, in her dream, Wang Xiao was a complete idiot, a complete fool who hadn't even gotten into a junior college. He was a complete fool. But in her dream, they had a pretty good relationship; even the slightest benefit would make Wang Xiao treat her well. Later, when she and Wang Junsheng started hooking up, Wang Xiao actually provided her with some convenience.
If something can happen in a dream, can it also happen now?
Just after noon, there was finally a sound outside, and Wang Xiao's voice came, "Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Qin Xiang was shocked: Wang’s stupid teammate is back.
