Married to the army by mistake, abstinent boss becomes addicted to pampering his wife

Chapter 200 The Blame
Jiang Qing poured the brewed Chinese medicine into a bowl and was waiting for it to cool when there was a loud knocking on the door.

She didn't rush to open the door. Instead, she picked up the medicine bowl, drank the still-hot Chinese medicine in one gulp, and then opened the door.

"Jiang Qing!"

Jiang Qing wasn't surprised at all when she saw Zhou Xiaoqing outside the door.

"Can I help you?"

Zhou Xiaoqing glared at her with bloodshot eyes, "Did you put the flint in my wallet?"

Zhou Xiaoqing knew she had been framed.

But she wasn't sure who had framed her.

It could be a colleague from the workshop, or it could be a friend.

Before coming to find Jiang Qing, she had already confronted several other friends, and without exception, they all denied framing her.

"Let's talk outside, so we don't disturb the others."

Zhou Xiaoqing followed Jiang Qing out of the courtyard.

It's the weekend, and school is closed. A group of kids are playing with iron hoops in the alley.

Jiang Qing stopped at the alley entrance, turned around and gave Zhou Xiaoqing a strange smile, then leaned close to Zhou Xiaoqing's ear and said, word by word:

"That's right, the flint in your wallet was put there by me."

Her expression was sinister, her eyes filled with mockery and smugness.

Zhou Xiaoqing's scalp tingled with rage. She glared at Jiang Qing and muttered, "Why? What did I do to offend you?"

Jiang Qing's expression suddenly turned cold and sharp: "I'd like to ask you too, what did I do to offend you! Why did you report me back then, causing me to lose my job at the sugar factory!"

Zhou Xiaoqing's pupils suddenly contracted. "You, how did you know it was me?"

"If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. Zhou Xiaoqing, this is your retribution for ending up like this."

Zhou Xiaoqing was so angry that she cried, "What kind of retribution is this? I was framed by you! Come with me to the factory and we'll talk this out!"

"Zhou Xiaoqing, you really are an idiot! Do you think the factory doesn't know you're innocent? The factory is just using you as a scapegoat to silence the gossip and avoid being questioned by the higher-ups. You have to take the blame for arson, whether you want to or not!"

Zhou Xiaoqing was trembling with anger, her eyes filled with a desire to tear her apart.

"Jiang Qing, you're a bitch! You're even more vicious than Jiang Moli!"

Jiang Qing sneered: "Say whatever you want, you've ended up in the same situation as me now, branded as an arsonist, and no company will ever hire you. While you're still young, hurry up and find a man to marry. If you wait another two years, I'm afraid no one will want you even if you want to."

Every word Jiang Qing said was like a needle pricking Zhou Xiaoqing's nerves.

"Jiang Qing, you bitch, I'll fight you to the death!"

As Zhou Xiaoqing pushed her, Jiang Qing fell backward.

"Ouch, that hurts..."

Jiang Qing's screams attracted the children in the alley.

"What's up with her?"

"Look, she's bleeding!"

Zhou Xiaoqing was stunned when she saw the bright red blood flowing out from under Jiang Qing's body.

How could there be so much blood from just a fall?

……

When Jiang Qing woke up, she found herself in a hospital ward.

"Xiao Qing, you're finally awake."

Looking at Zhang Jiaming by the bedside, she couldn't help but feel dazed.

"Jiaming? When did you get back?"

"I just got back today. I'm sorry I'm late."

Seeing the self-blame and regret on Zhang Jiaming's face, Jiang Qing's heart stirred, and she subconsciously placed her hand on her lower abdomen.

“The baby…” Zhang Jiaming’s eyes reddened, and he grabbed her hand, choking back tears, “The doctor said you lost too much blood and the baby couldn’t be saved.”

Jiang Qing closed her eyes to avoid laughing out loud.

Everything was within her calculations.

She never wanted this child, but going to the hospital for an abortion required not only a referral letter but also Zhang Jiaming's consent.

She knew that Zhang Jiaming would never agree to her having an abortion.

She could only buy abortion pills secretly.

But fearing that having an abortion without consent might lead to complications, she thought of finding someone to take the blame.

She had considered finding Jiang Moli or Lu Tingting to take the blame, but unfortunately she never found the opportunity, and finally approached Zhou Xiaoqing.

"Xiao Qing, don't be sad. Take good care of yourself, and you can have another child in the future."

Zhang Jiaming thought she was grieving the loss of her child, so he gently comforted her.

Jiang Qing opened her eyes, which were filled with tears and hatred.

"Zhou Xiaoqing ruined our child, I want her to pay with her life!"

The Zhang family also felt that this matter could not be left unresolved, as this was the Zhang family's first grandson!
Jiang Qing demanded 500 yuan in compensation from the Zhou family, otherwise she would sue Zhou Xiaoqing and have her imprisoned.

The two families negotiated for several days, and the matter was finally settled with the Zhou family paying 350 yuan in compensation.

The 350 yuan was not given by the Zhou family, but was Zhou Xiaoqing's betrothal gift.

Wang Lianhua and Zhou Weiguang were so angry at Zhou Xiaoqing's repeated troubles that they almost had a stroke. Ignoring Zhou Xiaoqing's wishes, they forced her to marry an old bachelor who ran a car repair stall.

It is said that he is almost 30 years old, has an unattractive appearance, and is uneducated.

Zhou Xiaoqing was packed up and sent to her husband's family home without even having a wedding.

Jiang Qing almost burst out laughing when she heard this.

Besides the exhilarating feeling of revenge, there was also a subtle sense of inner balance.

Back then, she married into her husband's family without a wedding ceremony, and suffered a lot of ridicule behind her back.

Now, Zhou Xiaoqing has followed the same path.

Jiang Qing stayed in the hospital for three days. Since the Zhou family was paying for her medical expenses, she would have liked to stay a few more days if she didn't have to miss work.

During this time, Zhang Tiesheng also visited her in the hospital.

Knowing that she had a job in the city, he didn't tell her to go back. He just told her to take good care of herself and left her 20 yuan before she left.

Although the Zhou family paid 350 yuan in compensation, they had almost nothing left after paying off their debts.

……

After being discharged from the hospital, Zhang Jiaming accompanied Jiang Qing back to her residence in the machinery factory's residential area.

Looking around at the cramped and cramped shack, he felt a pang of heartache and self-reproach.

“It’s too unsafe for you to live alone in a place like this. How about I plead with the military headquarters to let you stay in the family compound for a while?”

Jiang Qing didn't respond to him: "Jiaming, let's get a divorce."

Hearing that she wanted a divorce, Zhang Jiaming quickly pleaded, "Xiaoqing, I know you've suffered a lot lately. I've already told your family that your parents won't make things difficult for you anymore, and they won't interfere with your work. Let bygones be bygones, and let's live a good life together from now on, okay?"

Hearing these words, Jiang Qing was deeply moved.

Her tone softened, and she said in a low voice, "Jiaming, listen to me. Jiang Moli doesn't like me. As long as you are my husband, she will continue to suppress you, and you will never get ahead."

“Only if we get divorced will she let you go. We’ll remarry in two years when you’ve made something of yourself. Jiaming, I’m not really leaving you, it’s just a temporary measure. I will also use these two years to work hard to become stronger.”

Zhang Jiaming found Jiang Qing's suggestion utterly absurd.

"Xiao Qing, I won't divorce you. I married you, so I'm willing to bear the consequences. Even if there's no way out in this life, I'll accept it."

"But I'm not willing to give in!"
