Chapter 3: Tell Her to Get Out
"Get out, get out now!" He slammed the table forcefully, his anger rushing undisguisedly towards Qin Xiangnuan.
Suddenly, Qin Xiangnuan felt a sourness welling up in her eyes. She stepped back a few steps, then turned around, forcing herself not to let the tears fall. What else did she have left? Even her only dignity was gone, behind her was the joy of a family together, and the sound of their laughter filled her ears.
Outside, the sun still scorched the entire earth, almost searing her skin. She squinted her eyes, somewhat distractedly gazing at the distant mountain ridges, away as they always were, unreachable as in her childhood.
It seemed so close, yet she had never reached it.
The bag in her arms slid down a bit, she quickly held it tight, bowed her head, and started walking briskly.
The village now had a concrete road, reportedly donated by Qin Xiangmei’s husband. Now, the Qin family had much reverence in the village, even the Village Chief gave them extra respect, not for anything else but because Guo Hua had a very capable son-in-law.
They built a three-story Western-style house, bought a big color TV, a refrigerator, a washing machine, and even Qin Xiangmei’s elder brother, Qin Xianglin, had bought an apartment in the city and now had a legitimate job, eating the emperor’s grain every day without doing anything.
All this glory of the Qin family came from Qin Xiangmei.
Guo Hua and Hu Li were just ordinary people, yet Qin Xiangmei grew more and more beautiful. She was like a golden phoenix flying out of the village, top of her class from a young age, attended the best university in the Capital City, married a second-generation official, and had twins, a boy and a girl. Such a person really had nothing to criticize in her life.
