Chapter 60 Planting seeds in Qin Huairu's heart

"Sister Qin, there are no outsiders here. If you have any grievances in your heart, don't hold them in."

"If you keep it in your heart, it will make you sick."

"If you have grievances, speak them out. You will feel better after you speak them out."

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

"..."

The two were silent for a moment, and Wang Weiguo quickly began to comfort Qin Huairu.

however.

After hearing Wang Weiguo's words, especially the last part of his promise, Qin Huairu couldn't help but roll her eyes at Wang Weiguo and complained bitterly, "Can I still believe your promise?"

Wang Weiguo clearly promised her not to tell anyone about what happened last night, but he told everyone today. How could this make her feel at ease?
Wang Weiguo sighed and said faintly, "Sister Qin, this is not my fault."

"If you don't blame me, then why blame me?"

Qin Huairu felt aggrieved and thought that Wang Weiguo was very unreasonable.

"It's not your fault either."

Wang Weiguo shook his head.

What could Thirteenth Aunt do wrong?
"Who's to blame?"

Qin Huairu asked dissatisfiedly.

"Blame your husband, Jia Dongxu."

Wang Weiguo said this with confidence.

"Blame Dongxu?"

Qin Huairu was stunned and asked unconvincedly: "What does this have to do with him?"

"Of course it does matter!"

Wang Weiguo nodded and said firmly: "Sister Qin, it was Jia Dongxu who started the trouble first, and I was just trying to fight back.

You also saw it during the meeting in the evening. Uncle Three was planning to make trouble for me. It was obvious that the matter had nothing to do with me, but he insisted on blaming me.

Originally, based on facts and reason, the Third Uncle was already in the wrong in this matter, but Jia Dongxu and Liu Guangqi insisted on interfering and making trouble unreasonably. It was obvious that they wanted to trick me.

Sister Qin, you were also at the scene at the time, so you wouldn't pretend not to see it, right?"

Qin Huairu had nothing to say.

What Wang Weiguo said was indeed that Jia Dongxu was wrong.

Even as a member of the Jia family, Qin Huairu couldn't lie with her eyes open and deny this fact.

At that time, Jia Dongxu was deliberately looking for trouble and wanted to create trouble for Wang Weiguo.

Seeing Qin Huairu silent, Wang Weiguo continued, "And...I do dislike Jia Dongxu, but what I said before, is there anything wrong? He can't even protect his own wife, isn't he a waste?"

"Dongxu is not as bad as you say."

Thinking of what Wang Weiguo had said before, calling Jia Dongxu a loser, Qin Huairu, as his daughter-in-law, couldn't help but defend him.

"is it?"

Hearing Qin Huairu's words, which were obviously not taken seriously, Wang Weiguo asked back, "Sister Qin, are you serious when you say this?"

"Yes!"

Qin Huairu nodded and defended her husband Jia Dongxu, "What happened last night was my fault.

It was me who didn't tell Dongxu about being beaten. Dongxu had no idea about it. If he had known, he would definitely have reacted at all.

He is not as cowardly and useless as you say. I just didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so it's actually unfair for him to be scolded by you."

Speaking of this, Qin Huairu also felt a little angry.

Her husband was publicly called a coward by Wang Weiguo, and she, as his wife, felt ashamed as well.

"Sister Qin, how could someone who truly loves you bear to make you sad?"

Borrowing a very classic saying from later generations, Wang Weiguo continued: "Such a big palm print, even if you don't say it, if he has you in his heart, he will definitely be able to see it.

Don't tell me that after you went back last night, Jia Dongxu didn't say a word to you and you didn't turn on the lights in your room at night.

No one would believe this!

What does it mean?
It means he doesn’t care about you at all!”

"This……"

Qin Huairu thought about it and was speechless for a moment. She had to deceive herself and explain to Jia Dongxu again: "The slap mark last night was not as obvious as today, and when I went back, it was too late and the lights in the room were a little dim, so it was normal that he didn't notice it..."

"Sister Qin, if you say that, then I have to have a good talk with you."

Wang Weiguo couldn't stand it anymore after finding out that Qin Huairu liked to deceive herself and swallow her anger. He said directly, "Listen to me now. Don't rush to explain, don't rush to refute, and don't rush to prove it to me. Think carefully about whether it's the case or not."

After giving Qin Huairu a reminder, Wang Weiguo continued, "I called Jia Dongxu a coward, not just because of what happened last night.

Let me ask you, how does your mother-in-law treat you at home?
It may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that he either beats or scolds you, but in the past, when things didn’t go his way, did he often give you a cold shoulder and speak harshly to you?

The three words "unlucky star" must have come out of her mouth many times, right?

and also……

Did Jia Zhang always dislike you because you came from the countryside and feel that Jia Dongxu suffered a great loss by marrying you?
Moreover, Jia Zhang looked down on your parents. For this reason, you dared not let your parents come to the city to see you since you got married. Ask yourself, when there are good things at home, how many times will it be your turn?
......"

What Wang Weiguo said was well-organized and not groundless.

Many of them were spread by neighbors in the Central Courtyard.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and everyone is in the same courtyard. Any slight disturbance can easily be known to the whole courtyard.

Even though the Jia family kept their doors closed most of the time, they didn't always avoid people.

Besides, Qin Huairu has been married for several years, and there must be people who can tell whether the Jia family treats her well or not.

It's just that this is someone else's family affair, and everyone just gossips about it in private, and no one will publicize it.

Qin Huairu remained silent.

Because of what Wang Weiguo said...

all hit!

Because of her rural origin, her mother-in-law always looked down on her and disliked her for being a burden to Jia Dongxu and the Jia family, and was usually quite mean to her.

In the eyes of his mother-in-law, Jia Dongxu should find a woman with a job and a city hukou, not someone like her.

She usually does a lot of housework, including washing clothes, cooking, working like a horse, and keeping the house clean. But she is always the last one in line for food and clothing.

She could tolerate all this.

After all, life in the city is much better than in the countryside.

But when Wang Weiguo talked about his family, Qin Huairu couldn't hold back her emotions.

Because she had no status and was not valued in the Jia family, and she knew that her mother-in-law looked down on her family, she did not dare to let her parents come to the city to see her. They basically only went home once a year during the Chinese New Year.

It just so happened that when they went to their father-in-law's house during the Chinese New Year, other city sons-in-law, even if they didn't bring a lot of bags, at least brought some things with them, but they were the same as if they didn't bring anything. Instead, they brought a lot of bags when they returned to the city, making the neighbors laugh at them.

But even so, my mother-in-law still doesn't like my parents.

Because her natal family could not provide her with the confidence and she herself had no ability, she could not speak with any strength in the Jia family and could only keep a low profile and accept everything.

"Sister Qin, is this the life you expected when you risked your life to marry into the city?"

Another soul-searching question from Wang Weiguo almost made Qin Huairu lose her guard.

Qin Huairu gritted her teeth secretly.

It's impossible to say that she has never regretted anything.

But if she were given the chance to choose again, she would still make the same choice.

She was not willing to stay in the countryside all her life, and she didn't want her children to have to rely on the weather for their livelihood by guarding the piece of land in the village.

She was born in 1933 and had seen people starved to death by nature.

After calming down, Qin Huairu said to Wang Weiguo: "Weiguo, my mother-in-law treats me very well, don't listen to the gossip spread by those people in the courtyard."

"Sister Qin, I've told you that it doesn't matter whether I believe this or not. It's enough for you to know it in your heart."

Wang Weiguo smiled.

The fact that Qin Huairu could say this proves that she was not completely unaware of the gossip going on in the hospital.

Just because she doesn't show it doesn't mean she doesn't have any grievances or thoughts in her heart.

"Sister Qin, how your mother-in-law treats you is not that important. What's important is how Jia Dongxu usually acts."

"When Jia Zhang is giving you a cold shoulder, what is Jia Dongxu doing?"

"Did he say anything for you?"

"Even once!"

"Are you always like a dumb, deaf and blind person, silent, unable to hear or see?"

"Being filial and loving your wife are not contradictory."

"Besides, is Jia Dongxu really such a filial person?"

"If not, it only means that he doesn't have you in his heart at all!"

"..."

After Wang Weiguo said this, Qin Huairu not only did not get angry, but she "calmed down" and said to Wang Weiguo: "Wang Weiguo, don't stir up trouble between our families here. I know that you and Dongxu don't get along, so you deliberately said those words to anger me..."

"Sister Qin, you know whether you are living a good life or not. If you think I am trying to sow discord, I can't do anything about it."

Wang Weiguo knew that it was impossible to make Qin Huairu make any changes immediately with just a few words.

But he still had to say it.

He wanted to tear off the lies he usually used to deceive Qin Huairu in front of her.

Even if I have to be a villain, I must plant a true seed in Qin Huairu.

Sooner or later, this seed will take root and sprout.

"It's okay to lie to others, but lying to yourself is the stupidest thing."

After leaving the last sentence, Wang Weiguo walked away with brisk steps without any delay.

Just after walking a short distance, Wang Weiguo, who had excellent hearing, vaguely heard Qin Huairu's suppressed crying, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
