After three years of marriage, she didn't go home? 70's Jiaojiao wants a divorce

Chapter 236 Not a Fool

At the start of the semester, Shen Qingqing had endless meetings and was so busy that she didn't have time to go back to the compound.

I can only call home occasionally to greet the elders in my family.

The old man is getting on in years and has some heart problems.

A few years ago, when Shen Qingqing and Jiang Zhixun were getting a divorce, the old man verbally supported their separation, but in reality, he worried about it a lot.

After the New Year, I was no longer as energetic as before, and my spirits had deteriorated considerably.

No matter how busy Shen Qingqing was, she never forgot to care about the old man's health.

The old man is stubborn and refuses to accept his age.

Every time Shen Qingqing called back, even though he was happy inside, he would still grumble to himself.

“I’m in great health. I can swim in the river without any problem. You can focus on your work and don’t worry about the family. Come back on Sundays when you’re not working.”

Shen Qingqing was both amused and exasperated. "Please don't actually go swimming."

The old man said, "I'm not senile, why do you all have to keep reminding me of this and that?"

Having elderly people at home is something that makes you worry.

Shen Qingqing said, "Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll take you to the countryside for a spring outing."

The old man liked this arrangement.

"Let's go together when Zhixun takes a vacation."

Shen Qingqing also had the same plan.

With Jiang Zhixun around, there's no fear of encountering unexpected situations.

He has a sharp tongue, but he's pretty reliable at other times.

"Then let's wait for him to take a vacation."

We chatted for a few minutes, then hung up.

Shen Qingqing wasn't the only one in the office.

My colleague Li Xue and Shen Qing are about the same age and get along very well.

He asked Shen Qingqing, "When is your husband Jiang on vacation? If he's busy with work, we can go on a spring outing together. I'm planning to take the elderly and children out for a walk, so we can look after each other."

Shen Qingqing politely declined, saying, "Grandpa's health isn't good, so someone needs to drive. Otherwise, it'll be more lively with more people, and we can have a picnic, which would be even more fun."

Li Xue didn't insist, "That's true."

When Jiang Zhixun went to Shanghai for an exchange and study trip, he said he would treat Shen Qingqing's colleagues to dinner.

He was busy with work, and Shen Qingqing didn't want him to be too tired.

So he said, "Let's go out to eat together after get off work today, it's on me."

Li Xue: "Aren't you waiting for your Comrade Jiang?"

"He's a quiet type, it doesn't matter whether he's here or not," Shen Qingqing said jokingly.

The main purpose of inviting my colleagues to dinner was to apologize, as they had been harassed by Shuxian more than once because of her.

Shen Qingqing felt a little embarrassed if she kept dragging it out.

After all, we had agreed on the train that we would have a get-together when school started.

Shen Qingqing blinked. "His money is all with me. It doesn't matter that he didn't come, since he paid for it anyway."

A commotion erupted in the office.

"Teacher Shen is truly skilled at managing her husband!"

"What's that saying? Where there's money, there's love. Comrade Jiang has handed over all his assets; his sincerity is undeniable!"

“I used to be afraid of Comrade Jiang. I thought he was cold and aloof, like a block of ice. I never expected him to be so good at dating. He’s much more romantic than my husband.”

“My family member is glib and smooth-talking, unlike Comrade Jiang, who can take a train for more than ten hours to pick up Teacher Shen in Shanghai.”

"Comparing people with each other makes people angry!"

It's no secret that Shen Qingqing and Jiang Zhixun were divorced.

He said, "He wasn't like this from the beginning. He used to be a block of ice, and his words were infuriating."

One thing has remained unchanged.

That means giving her the money...

Then, his colleagues started saying good things about Jiang Zhixun.

"Comrade Jiang is doing quite well now. He knows his mistakes and can correct them, which makes him a good comrade."

“It’s normal to take detours when you’re young. I think Comrade Jiang has learned his lesson and will definitely cherish you even more in the future.”

Shen Qingqing said, "It's a good thing he's not here, otherwise he would be so proud of himself after hearing you all praising him like that!" The atmosphere in the office was harmonious.

After a brief chat, I quickly got back to work.

When it was time to leave work, the group went directly to a restaurant near the school.

Shen Qingqing wasn't a stingy person, and after confirming that they didn't have any dietary restrictions, she treated her colleagues to hot pot.

Money should be saved where it should be saved, and spent where it should be spent.

If you have the means, treat yourself better.

She wanted to order a few more dishes, but Li Xue stopped her, saying, "Order a few more bowls of noodles to eat with the mutton. It's delicious and filling."

Shen Qingqing knew that this was because they didn't want her to spend too much money.

"Jiang Zhixun didn't come, but we still need to order his portion; we'll eat it for him."

As he spoke, he quickly ordered several dishes.

Li Xue was both amused and exasperated. "Teacher Shen, you've gone to so much trouble."

Shen Qingqing shook her head, "I've been taken care of by you since I joined the company, and I've wanted to thank you for a long time. Today is an opportunity."

In addition to food, we also ordered soft drinks.

Life has gradually improved in recent years, but many people are still reluctant to spend money.

Shen Qingqing's invitation to this meal was truly sincere.

It's said that you're obligated to accept gifts or food, so at the dinner table, a colleague brought up the topic of housing allocation with Shen Qingqing.

"If you have enough time, you can apply for research projects. If you achieve significant results, the waiting time should be shortened, which will also help you with your future promotion."

Shen Qingqing nodded, "I'll find some time to look into it."

My colleague stopped there.

It's after get off work hours, and saying too much will only annoy people. Shen Qingqing isn't stupid; she pointed her in the right direction, and she knew what to do.

Li Xue joked, "Once we get the house, Comrade Jiang will live with you, and you'll be the head of the household!"

Shen Qingqing nodded seriously, "If he makes me angry, I'll kick him out of the house."

"Who are you chasing away?"

A tall, slender man walked into the restaurant.

He had a neat short haircut, deep and handsome features, and was dressed casually, yet his imposing presence remained undiminished.

At first glance, he is no ordinary person.

Caught red-handed, Shen Qingqing almost bit her tongue.

"How did you come?"

Jiang Zhixun felt extremely wronged. It turned out that his wife didn't care at all when he took a day off.

Unlike him, who silently counts down how long it will be before he can see her again.

He said resentfully, "Take a day off."

Shen Qingqing sensed his resentment, looked away, and quickly asked the waiter to add a seat.

He coughed lightly and said, "Are you hungry? What would you like to eat? I'll get you two more dishes."

She spoke softly and gently, and instantly soothed Jiang Zhixun.

He sat down next to Shen Qingqing and glanced at the situation on the table.

It's almost over.

He arrived suddenly, and it wouldn't be good to take up other people's time.

He said, "I've already eaten in the cafeteria, you guys eat, don't worry about me."

Shen Qingqing felt he was lying, so she asked someone to add a bowl of mutton soup noodles.

"Then you can eat with us for a while."

Jiang Zhixun almost couldn't help but laugh, thinking to himself that his wife still cared about him a lot.

The muscular thigh touched Shen Qingqing.

He said in a very serious tone, "I'll listen to you."

Shen Qingqing's colleague said, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to eat meat while Comrade Jiang eats noodles?"

Shen Qingqing: "Give him two more servings of meat."

Jiang Zhixun's smile deepened; his wife really knew how to take care of him.

He secretly decided not to argue with her about her wanting to kick him out.
