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

Chapter 244 A way out
Wei Qing kept her eyes open until the next day.

She got up as soon as it was light, dressed, and prepared to go to the commune to inquire about college entrance examination registration.

As she passed by her uncle Wei Shuan's room, she heard the couple whispering to each other, and she instinctively stopped.

Liu Sufeng said, "After breakfast, ask Xiaoqing what her plans are for the future. She can't just keep relying on our family, can she?"

"Look at the chaos she's caused in the Zhang family, and she even got divorced by Zhang Jiaming. Now, who knows what she's done, she's been kicked back by the Jiang family. I don't feel comfortable letting this kind of restless person live in our house. If she affects Xiaoshan's marriage, I'll never forgive you!"

Wei Shuan replied, "Okay, I got it. I'll ask her about it later."

Hearing the rustling sounds of people getting up coming from inside the house, Wei Qing quickly left.

After leaving the Wei family's house, her face immediately darkened.

When she used to come back, Liu Sufeng would fawn over her like a lapdog, showering her with concern and care.

Now that she's in trouble, they're kicking her while she's down and calling her a burden.

They're all a bunch of snobs who look down on others!

Upon arriving at the commune, Wei Qing consulted the education group about college entrance examination registration, only to learn that this year's registration had already closed.

This news was undoubtedly adding insult to injury for Wei Qing.

Taking the college entrance examination is her only way out right now. As long as she passes the exam, she can return to the city openly and legitimately!
Although she can take the college entrance examination next year, there are still more than half a year until then.

She had neither money nor a job; how did she manage to survive the past six months?
It seems she has no choice but to seek help from Li Hongying.

Just then, I suddenly saw Li Hongying standing not far ahead.

She thought she was seeing things, but when she got closer, it really was Li Hongying!

"Xiaoqing."

Li Hongying looked at her with a worried expression, her eyes were bloodshot, and there were many wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

It was as if he had aged ten years overnight.

Wei Qing didn't notice any of this, and seeing Li Hongying's empty hands, she couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"What are you here for?"

Li Hongying was stung by her cold tone and couldn't help but shed tears. "What do you think I'm doing here? Why did you steal your Uncle Jiang's research data? What did he do to you? You're so disappointing!"

Wei Qing sneered and roared, "Do you think I enjoy committing evil deeds? It's all because I have a useless mother like you! You can't help me at all, so I have to fight, struggle, and snatch things up on my own!"

Li Hongying looked stunned. "How could you say such a thing? I've given you everything I could. Do you expect me to give you my life?"

Wei Qing's expression was cold, and her words were vicious: "If you had any ability, I wouldn't have ended up like this. Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. This Jiang fellow has shown me no mercy, clearly showing he doesn't respect you. He's in his prime and has become a government official; I'm afraid his next step will be to replace you, his wife who has shared his hardships."

Li Hongying was trembling, whether from anger or from being too heartbroken, it was hard to tell.

"Give me money. My house has collapsed, and I need to find someone to repair it before I can live in it again."

Li Hongying wiped away her tears and silently took out all the money she had on her and gave it to her.

Looking at the few small bills and large denominations that Li Hongying handed over, Wei Qing's face turned grim. "This is all we have. It's not even enough to build a roof."

Li Hongying said sadly, "This is all I have left."

Wei Qing took the money and said sarcastically, "It seems Jiang Dahai isn't treating you very well either. You'd better make plans soon, or it'll be too late to regret it when you're kicked out!"

He paused, then added, "It'll cost at least 50 yuan to fix the house. I don't care if you borrow it or ask Jiang Dahai for it, just send the money back to me as soon as possible. If you don't want me to come looking for you."

Looking at her resolute and indifferent back, Li Hongying felt an indescribable sadness.

Her daughter only asked her for money, without considering how difficult her current situation was.

When his daughter got married, Jiang Dahai gave her a dowry of 66 yuan. In other families, even their own daughter might not receive this treatment.

Not only was the daughter ungrateful, but she also harbored resentment towards Jiang Dahai and even stole his research materials and gave them to outsiders.

She felt so ashamed every time she faced Jiang Dahai that she couldn't possibly ask him for money.

Wei Qing was never the type to sit idly by and wait for her fate.

On her way back to Lianhua Village, she pondered her future path.

She is determined to succeed in next year's college entrance examination, but her immediate priority is to survive.

At the village entrance, Wei Shan chatted and laughed with several girls from the same village who were close friends.

Seeing Wei Qing returning to the village, Chen Dongmei nudged Wei Shan's arm, "Hey, isn't that Jiang Qing? What's she doing so early in the morning?"

"Who knows her?" Wei Shan said dismissively.

In the past, Wei Qing was arrogant because of her city residency and ignored her cousins.

Now that she's been driven back by the Jiang family and is like a stray dog, she's quite gloating.

"What have you been doing?"

In the past, Wei Qing would never have paid any attention to Wei Shan's questions.

Today, however, he replied in a good mood: "I went to the commune to inquire about next year's college entrance examination."

Upon hearing this, several girls from the same village showed envy in their eyes.

Among them, the most educated only had a junior high school education; they were not even qualified to take the college entrance examination, let alone go to university.

Wei Shan curled her lip dismissively, "You're already this old, so what if you get into university? Does that mean you won't get married or have kids?"

Wei Qing smiled bitterly, "This is how my life is going to be. I can only rely on studying more to make a future for myself. Unlike you, Xiao Shan, you are lucky. You have such an excellent fiancé, and you don't have to worry about the rest of your life."

Wei Qing's envious tone undoubtedly greatly satisfied Wei Shan's vanity.

Wei Shan's fiancé is named Zhao Jingyang.

Zhao Jingyang was also from Lianhua Village, and he and Wei Shan were betrothed when they were very young.

More than a decade ago, after Zhao Jingyang's father retired from the army, he was assigned to drive for a leader in Fucheng and also brought Zhao Jingyang there to study.

The Zhao family hadn't returned to Lianhua Village for many years, and the Wei family all thought the marriage was off.

After all, the Zhao family had already achieved upward social mobility and become proper city dwellers, so why would they look down on them from the countryside?

Unexpectedly, when the Zhao family returned home to pay respects to their ancestors last year, they took the initiative to bring up the marriage.

The Wei family naturally couldn't have asked for this.

After chatting with Wei Shan and the others for a while, Wei Qing returned to the Wei family home.

Wei Shuan and his two sons went hunting in the mountains. In winter, there was no work in the fields, so rural men either played cards or went hunting in the mountains.

Bai Chunyan, the eldest cousin's wife, also went out to visit other people's homes with her son, leaving Liu Sufeng at home cutting radish shreds to make pickled vegetables.

Wei Qing closed the door, walked to Liu Sufeng, and knelt down with a thud.

Liu Sufeng was startled. "What are you doing?"

With tears welling up in her eyes, Wei Qing pleaded, "Auntie, please, for my father's sake, take me in for a while. From now on, I'll do all the housework—laundry, cooking, sweeping, feeding the chickens—just like a maid. If I get into university next year, I'll definitely repay your and Uncle's kindness!"

After saying that, he kowtowed several times to Liu Sufeng.

Seeing the blood on her forehead from banging her head against the wall, Liu Sufeng felt a pang of pity and agreed to let her stay at her home.
