Chapter 043 Divorce
Jiang Sinian recalled carefully for a long time. Not long after Song Chunxia came to the compound to work as a salesperson, he went to the leader's house for dinner and happened to meet her.
During the meal, Song Chunyan asked him what he thought of Song Chunxia, a girl, working as a salesperson in the compound.
After all, except for the palm-sized area of the family compound, the rest of the compound is full of men, and most of them are unmarried men.
It is not good for an unmarried girl to deal with a group of single young men when she opens the door all day long, even if they are all soldiers.
Soldiers are a profession, and a man who dares to sacrifice his life to defend his country is not necessarily a traitor.
Scumbags and blood do not have to coexist.
The current society calls for equality between men and women, but in reality it is still not so equal.
Jiang Sinian didn't quite understand why Song Chunyan went to such great lengths to get Song Chunxia to work as a salesperson in the compound, but he still politely said, "It's all work, there's no distinction between high and low. It's just that it's commendable that a girl is willing to come to such a remote place like their compound to endure hardships."
Could it be that his polite words were taken as admiration for her?
Even if he admired her, it was admiration for her job. What does it have to do with matters between men and women?
Jiang Sinian, who didn't know how to explain, shook his head and said, "You misunderstood, I've never had any romantic feelings for you!"
"You're lying!" Song Chunxia screamed, "You bought me clothes, you brought me food, you even sent me home with an umbrella..."
She counted the piles of wood that Jiang Sinian had made for her.
Lin Wanxia was listening in the room and felt that Jiang Sinian was undoubtedly a scumbag based on what Song Chunxia said.
After Song Chunxia finished speaking, Jiang Sinian spoke in a calm voice, and he apologized first, "I'm sorry for making you misunderstand."
But such an apology was no different from slapping Song Chunxia in the face.
"I didn't think so much when I did those things. For example, I bought clothes for you because Xingxing was sick and vomited on your clothes. I was embarrassed as a grown man to ask for your clothes to be washed, so I asked other sisters-in-law to buy one for you."
The word "compensation" accurately explained the relationship between the two people.
The clothes were like this, and the other things were similar.
The reason for sending the meal was because Xingxing ate Song Chunxia's meal, and the reason for sending people with an umbrella was that Song Chunxia was delayed in taking care of Xingxing, and it happened to rain outside and she didn't bring an umbrella. As a parent, Jiang Sinian could only send people back.
Song Chunxia cried out: "I don't believe it! You're lying! I don't believe you've never had any thoughts about me. If it's true as you said, that you're always doing it for Xingxing, shouldn't you marry me and give Xingxing a home?"
This time Jiang Sinian didn't rush to refute, but sighed for a long time.
Yes, he admitted that because of his job, he was running around all day and rarely in the compound, and he was always too careless, so there were a few times when he came back and saw the clean room, the food on the table, and the sleeping Xingxing, he also thought about asking Song Chunxia to marry him.
Not for anything else, just to give Xingxing a home.
But people can't be too selfish. He has no feelings for Song Chunxia, and he can't drag Song Chunxia down for life just because Xingxing needs someone to take care of her. Besides, Xingxing is his responsibility, he shouldn't shift it to others.
Finally, Jiang Sinian said, "You said it yourself that you won't be Xingxing's stepmother. I think it's just right."
In order to appease Xingxing, Song Chunxia often said that she would not be Xingxing's stepmother.
Song Chunxia stopped crying abruptly. She never thought that she would be kicked out for this reason.
She wanted to fight for herself again: "I'm not... I was..."
But she couldn't say the explanation, because the defense would confirm that she used Xingxing.
She knew very well that Jiang Sinian would never allow anyone to treat Xingxing like this.
Song Chunxia pointed to the closed bedroom door, "Why is it her? Don't try to lie to me! Xingxing said that you were just on a mission there to get married."
During that initial period, Xingxing was closest to Song Chunxia.
There is a public telephone in the Hongguang Village grocery store, and there is also a public telephone in the compound grocery store.
So Xingxing would often call her and cry about how much she missed her.
Song Chunxia was impatient to listen to these, so she guided Xingxing to ask about Jiang Sinian.
Although Xingxing was too young to mimic others, he happened to start to have memories at the age of three. Jiang Sinian and Lin Wanxia chatted without covering him, so he heard a lot.
"Xingxing just said it very clearly. We didn't hide anything from each other when we got married. I told her everything about me, including Xingxing, and I know everything about her. As for the fake marriage...you know me well, I won't have a fake marriage to ruin a girl's reputation."
It was always Lin Wanxia who talked about the fake marriage.
"Then why didn't you report the marriage?" Song Chunxia still didn't give up.
"Not yet. I've been away from work for a while, and the only times I've come back were because I was injured."
He had a hard time taking care of himself recently, so how could he have the energy to write a marriage application?
Besides, marriage is a matter between two people, and he has to wait for Lin Wanxia to nod.
In order to prevent Song Chunxia from pestering him again, Jiang Sinian added, "Even if it's not Lin Wanxia, it won't be you. There's no possibility for you and me."
Having said that, even if Song Chunxia was unwilling, she couldn't say anything else.
"Jiang Sinian, you will regret it." Song Chunxia ran out crying.
Jiang Sinian let out a breath slowly.
It felt like talking to Song Chunxia was more difficult than negotiating with a foreigner in English.
He looked to the side and saw that the bedroom door, which was originally tightly closed, had opened a small gap, revealing two eyes, one big and one small.
The depression in her heart suddenly turned into a helpless laugh, and she said unhappily: "Come out! Everyone is gone!"
The two people who were caught felt a little guilty and slammed the door shut.
Jiang Sinian: "..."
Lin Wanxia usually looked very stable, but she had such a side.
Lin Wanxia probably realized that she had covered her ears and heard someone talking, so she opened the door again and walked out.
She cleared her throat and changed the subject to cover up the embarrassment of eavesdropping around the corner, "You're using me as a shield again! You'll have to pay if you use my name again."
Jiang Sinian, who had just sat at the table and picked up a glass of water, was sneered. He coughed and put down the glass, then began to search his pockets, took out all the money on his body and pushed it on the table in the direction of Lin Wanxia.
Lin Wanxia: "..."
This guy...
She twitched her lips, "I was just joking."
"But I'm serious."
Lin Wanxia: "..."
There was no way to chat today.
She said seriously: "I really don't need you to take responsibility."
She knew that a gentleman like Jiang Sinian would never let go of the fact that they slept in the same bed.
"That thing happened... I was impulsive. I have a big responsibility, but you didn't suffer any loss. And you helped me get the house back, which made up for me. At that time, we agreed that the fake marriage would be three months, and now it has expired. I came here this time to tell you that we are even now?"
Divorce is a big deal in rural areas, so Jiang Sinian still needs to cooperate.
