Rebirth Era: After the Beautiful Sister-in-law Refuses to Open Business

"I……"

Qin Yaqing's temper had softened a bit after all, and she was slow to say what she wanted to say.

Song Lan did not urge her. She continued, "Big sister, you have to know that compared with your family background and Zhou Zhiqing's, our family is not much worse than his. Take his family's occupations for example. His parents are cadres, and our father is not just the deputy director of the steel plant.

He is also the chief engineer of the R&D department. Your eldest brother is also the deputy director of the machinery factory. Although I, your sister-in-law, am only a small doctor in the machinery factory’s staff hospital, my medical skills are also impressive.

As for my second brother and second sister, they are all smart and I think they have a bright future! My second brother is still young and still needs to be supported by the family, but this is not a burden for you. You have dad, your eldest brother and me.

Our combined salary is not a small sum, it is more than enough to support my second brother and his family and to support their education.”

Qin Yaqing's eyes were red. "Sister-in-law, don't say that. When I look for a partner, no matter if it's him or his family, if there's anyone who's a snob, I don't want such a person or such a family."

"I feel relieved that my elder sister can think so clearly."

Song Lan smiled sincerely and said, "But based on what Zhou Zhiqing told you in the letter, I think it should be true. It shows that he is pursuing you with all his heart and wants to be with you."

"Sister-in-law~"

Qin Yaqing is shy.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. If you and Zhou Zhiqing can achieve a happy ending, it means that you two are truly destined to be together. Then, my sister-in-law will give you her sincerest blessings!"

As she spoke, Song Lan wanted to stand up. Qin Yaqing saw this and quickly stood up and offered her hand to help Song Lan: "Sister-in-law, go slowly."

"It's okay. I was careful."

Standing up straight, Song Lan smiled and said, "Let's go, it's cool in the yard, let's go sit for a while."

"it is good."

Qin Yaqing helped Song Lan out of the room.

At the same time, Heilongjiang Province, Qiaoxingtun.

In the small courtyard next to the captain's house, Wen Qiming made himself some dinner to fill his stomach, and then washed the pots and dishes in the dark. After cleaning up the stove, he sat on the bamboo chair in the yard, looking at the sparse stars in the night sky, his eyes filled with regret and frustration.

He regretted, undoubtedly regretting breaking up with Qin Yaqing. He hated himself for being so heartless that he missed out on Qin Yaqing, a girl from a good family who devoted herself to him.

Wen Qiming felt aggrieved because he did not expect that he would be forced to marry Guan Xing'er by the captain's family. Moreover, since the two got married, the captain's family built two adobe houses for him and Guan Xing'er next to their house and enclosed a small yard with gravel from the mountain, but they did not provide any other help to him.

It was clearly stated that if he married Guan Xing'er, they would try to arrange a job for him as a primary school teacher. Even if that was not possible, they would arrange a job for him to record work points, or to look after the warehouse and distribute farm tools in the brigade.

The results of it?

He was forced to marry Guan Xing'er and got a marriage certificate before the year was over. They set up two tables for the wedding and lived together. Until now, he still works in the fields like other educated youths in the educated youth home.

The most outrageous thing was that Guan Xing'er had been married to him for only two months, but she was already giving him the cold shoulder at every turn and not only refused to wash clothes and cook for him, but she went to her parents' house next door to have food and drink, and recorded her work points in a notebook all day. She sat under the shade of a tree because it was too hot, as if he was not the man she had been pestering and trying to marry.

Yes, he admitted that he had never treated Guan Xing'er well since Qin Yaqing left Qiaoxingtun, but if Guan Xing'er minded, she could just ignore him. Was it necessary for her family to force him to get a marriage certificate with her?

Can we not cherish it once we have it?

Wen Qiming has been feeling extremely frustrated since his marriage because of Guan Xing'er and the captain's family's attitude towards him.

It was precisely because of his frustration and unwillingness that he accidentally learned that Zhou Shiyang and Qin Yaqing were communicating. Not long after, he learned that Zhou Shiyang had enlisted in the army. Jealousy grew wildly in his heart like a weed.

He felt that Zhou Shiyang had stolen his girl, and completely forgot that it was he who took the initiative to break up with Qin Yaqing and accepted the captain's daughter Guan Xing'er's affair. Anyway, in Wen Qiming's opinion, it was not his fault, but others'. It was others who let him down!

With reluctance and regret, Wen Qiming learned from Li Qiu, a female educated youth in the educated youth courtyard, about Qin Yaqing's residential address in the machinery factory and her job. Then he began to write letters to Qin Yaqing.

The letter expressed regret and self-blame, but also contained sweet words.

He sent out letter after letter, and even though they were returned one after another, Wen Qiming still persisted.

When Wen Qiming finally received a reply letter from Qin Yaqing, he was so happy that he almost flew away.

But I didn't expect that every word in the letter was so cold.

Tell him to stop doing useless work!

Wen Qiming did not give up. He found out about the Qin family's situation from Li Qiu through the cheap female educated youth. He learned that Qin's father had been brought back to Beijing to resume work years ago, and that he was also the deputy director of the steel plant.

He wanted to go back to the city very much, and the only way now was to repair his relationship with Qin Yaqing, and then let Qin Yaqing ask Qin's father to arrange a job for him in the steel plant, so that he could return to Beijing with a clear conscience.

It has been more than a week since he sent his last letter, and I don’t know if the letter has reached that person.

"Qin Yaqing, you still love me, right?"

Wen Qiming stared at the night sky and murmured silently: "I regret it, I regretted it a long time ago. If you told me that your father had been taken back to Beijing and resumed his work...how could I have broken up with you, and how could I have accepted Guan Xing'er, a village girl, showing kindness to me?"

There were footsteps outside the courtyard gate. Wen Qiming knew who the owner of the footsteps was without having to listen carefully.

"Have you eaten?"

Guan Xing'er walked into the yard and saw Wen Qiming sitting in the yard in the faint moonlight. She couldn't help but ask a question.

There was no other sound in answer to her except the chirping of insects in the grass in the corner.

Feeling aggrieved, Guan Xing'er couldn't help but ask again: "I asked you if you had eaten, why didn't you answer me?"

Shouldn't she listen to her mother and sisters-in-law? Should she be more polite to this man, ignore him, and make him feel threatened, so that he would be wholeheartedly good to her and stop thinking about Qin Zhiqing who had left the village for more than half a year?

But she could hardly hold on any longer, and every once in a while she would do as her mother and sisters-in-law said and ignore her man, to prevent him from spoiling her and taking her seriously. Sometimes it did work, but after too many times, his man would just let her do whatever she wanted and wouldn't care what she did.

"Whether I eat or not is it your business?"

Wen Qiming retracted his gaze from the night sky and looked at Guan Xing'er: "Since you don't care, why bother pretending to care about me?"

"me……"

Guan Xing'er said: "How could you do this? If you weren't so indifferent to me, would I have been able to go back to my parents' house every day to eat?"
