Qiu Xia knew that if her man did not support her, she would have no hope in her life if she continued to wait like this.
In fact, she is not afraid of divorce personally. The reason why she has been struggling to maintain this marriage in name only is not only because she is ridiculously unwilling, but more because she does not want to bring shame to her family.
Divorce may bring temporary relief, but her family will have to endure endless rumors and gossip after the divorce.
In their secluded little mountain village, there had never been a precedent of divorce in any family.
Parents need to save face. If there is a divorced daughter in the family, the whole family will not be able to hold their heads up.
It was only after she married into a family like Qu Mingjun's that her younger siblings began to have the idea of going to school. If she got divorced, she was afraid that her family would no longer support them to continue their studies.
Now, instead of divorcing Qu Mingjun, she wanted to find a way to support herself as soon as possible, but she found that she really couldn't do anything except taking care of the family and being a red housewife.
Thinking of her own uselessness, she curled up on the bed and cried with her knees hugged, feeling helpless and self-blaming.
At this time, the sound of a key opening the door was heard outside, and Qu Mingjun came back carrying oranges and pork ribs.
It was rare that Qiu Xia wasn't waiting for him in the hall. No, that's not right! It was probably because she hadn't been waiting for him during this period.
He placed the contents of the net bag on the table and looked at the closed bedroom door.
The bedroom was usually Qiu Xia's territory, and he rarely went in except to get some clothes.
But today, he adjusted his breathing, walked over and pushed open the bedroom door.
Qiu Xia, who was sitting beside the bed, was also stunned when she heard the noise. She didn't expect Qu Mingjun to come in.
She didn't have time to wipe the tears from her face before he saw them all.
If it were in the past, she would have died alone in there and he would never have looked at her.
At this moment, the two looked at each other a little helplessly, then looked away and sorted out their thoughts.
When Qu Mingjun saw her crying, the string in his heart tightened a little more. He had seen her crying hysterically before, and he had also seen her questioning him with tears streaming down her face.
He had never seen her silently shedding tears like she did now. For some reason, her fragile appearance made him feel guilty and helpless.
The words that I had intended to use to warn her were stuck in my throat for a moment.
"I was staying in the dormitory last night, not with Zhao Xueman. If you don't believe me, you can ask Deputy Battalion Commander Wang..."
Qiu Xia didn't understand. Qu Mingjun obviously didn't care about her, so why did he say all this to her?
She just looked at him expressionlessly, letting him explain himself and letting her tears fall uncontrollably.
Qu Mingjun explained that Pei Tingyu got married yesterday, and when he came back in the evening, he was dragged out by his comrades to have two drinks. He couldn't drink much and was a little drunk.
When he woke up, it was too late. He didn't want to disturb Qiu Xia's rest, so he simply went back to the camp dormitory with his comrades.
After waking up this morning, he went to buy Qiu Xia's favorite oranges and spare ribs, intending to have a good meal with her at home while he rested. But when he came back, he ran into Zhao Xueman again, and that's when the following events happened.
He repeatedly stated that he and Zhao Xueman had always maintained the proper distance between comrades and had never crossed the line.
Qiu Xia sneered with tears in her eyes: "So you rubbed Zhao Xueman's feet out of comradeship?"
Qu Mingjun was stunned. "I rubbed her feet? Did she tell you that?"
"It's just a feet rub. What's there to be afraid of admitting? It's normal for comrades to rub feet. After all, you are her only comrade." Qiu Xia's words were full of sarcasm.
Qu Mingjun frowned and explained: "I didn't massage her feet. I just gave her medicine. Although I don't know why she said that, you must have misunderstood."
"So it's all my fault, okay? Get out! I don't want to talk to you now."
Qu Mingjun didn't say anything else, but turned and walked out.
Qiu Xia fell weakly on the bed and fell asleep in a daze. After about an hour of sleep, the aroma of pork rib soup came from the room.
She thought she was hungry, so when she had the hallucination, she heard Qu Mingjun calling her out for lunch.
Qiu Xia smiled bitterly in disbelief: Oh, this is really strange, not only did he not run away and disappear for the whole day, he even went to the kitchen to cook for the first time?
