Chapter 126: Take Good Care of Sister
Qin Ming and Jiang Yue returned home, both of them smiling bitterly, unsure of what to say.
Today was supposed to be a joyous day.
They should have been happy, despite the physical exhaustion from the trip back from the city, their hearts were joyful.
There was a small courtyard waiting for them, two jobs waiting for them, they had bought tickets, ready to go see their parents.
But now, it's come to this.
Both of them absolutely believed that He Guixiang and Qin Dazhi were capable of doing such things.
Without that 1000 yuan, they can really forget about leaving here.
Jiang Yue looked at Qin Ming, "Qin Ming, let's forget about the job. Let's consider it as a beautiful dream we've had this lifetime, that once there was a factory job waiting for us. Don't tell Xiao Xiao about this when we return, so she doesn't worry."
She feared her hot-tempered sister would rush up to confront her in-laws directly.
If the families started arguing, the most uncomfortable person caught in the middle would be Qin Ming.
"Rest assured, I was going to say the same to comfort you, but now you're comforting me. Let's not talk about this to anyone, let's pretend the jobs never existed. Life in the village is not so bad; if I work hard in the production team, I can surely support you and the child, but it will make you suffer with me.
I... I really wish I had died that time, it would have saved all the trouble rather than dragging you down."
Qin Ming was troubled; those were his parents, after all.
He thought his parents would change after what they said today, but now he realizes they had ulterior motives.
They said they weren't hurtful, but that's not true.
Now it doesn't even feel like a family, not as good as strangers.
Jiang Yue held his hand tightly.
"Don't say that, I married you willingly."
Qin Ming choked up; as a man, he couldn't take care of his wife and child, what kind of man was he?
"Yue'er, I want to tell you something, if you don't want to stay with me, I'll agree, I can't hide it anymore, otherwise I'm not even human!"
Qin Ming couldn't hold it back, the news he had heard in the past few days was stirring in his mind, along with the hints he picked up from his brother, confirming his suspicions.
He had to speak out now.
"What is it? Just say it!"
"My parents were deceitful about the marriage, I wasn't that seriously ill then, coughing up blood was true, but it wasn't life-threatening. My parents schemed with the doctor to set you up.
I'm sorry, I found out two days ago, but I didn't dare say anything, I'm such a disgrace, my parents did such shameful things, even wicked, but they are my parents, no matter what, they did it for my sake.
I've been agonized for days.
With things like this today, I've thought it over, you should divorce me, that way you can work in the county, leave here, and not be manipulated by my parents. You won't have to suffer with me, Yue'er, please go! It's my fault to you, but I don't want this to continue."
Jiang Yue tightened her grip on her husband's hand, her gaze gentle, "Qin Ming, I know. I actually overheard your mother and sister talking about it a month after we got married, and I knew what was going on, but I don't regret it; the deceitful marriage was true, but you're a good man, you haven't wronged me.
Don't say foolish things, I still have your child in me, are you saying this to shirk responsibility? That's not happening, the child and I are waiting for you to take good care of us, you can't run away. You must take care of us for a lifetime."
Qin Ming looked at his resolute wife, Jiang Yue has a gentle nature, but he knows that she is decisive and doesn't give up easily.
His wife's words filled him with immense confidence; his family was not breaking apart.
Yet, he felt guiltier inside.
This way, his wife was really going to be oppressed with him here for a lifetime.
No way!
He would not let his parents oppress them anymore; tomorrow he would go to find the director, even if they couldn't go to the county, they couldn't let their parents control their lives anymore.
The work points he earned, he must take them back.
For the sake of the child, for Jiang Yue, he must not back down, he needed to take care of them like a real man.
Qin Ming held Jiang Yue's hand tightly and walked slowly towards home.
With his back straight, his gaze firm, never as determined as this.
Press forward with indomitable will.
The two returned home.
