Chapter 30 Broken
Late at night, Wang Shuqin insisted on sending Wang Deming and Qin Huairu to the east room, and she herself wanted to sleep on the wooden bed that Wang Deming had set up in the main room tonight.

"Mom, either you sleep on the kang with Xiaoru tonight, or I can't let you sleep in the living room." Wang Deming firmly objected: "One is that you are so old and I am worried that you will catch a cold at night;"

"Another thing, if people knew that I had sent you to sleep in the living room after I got married, what would they say?"

"It must be that Wang Deming got married and forgot his mother!"

Qin Huairu also advised: "Mom, please listen to Deming. Deming and I will sleep on the wooden bed in the living room."

"You can't let Deming be known as an unfilial person."

Wang Shuqin looked at the two children in front of her with satisfaction, holding their hands and holding them in front of her, "We can do it behind closed doors, and no one else will know."

"Besides, tonight is a big day for both of you. How can you sleep in the living room?"

"Listen to me, both of you go to bed early tonight," Wang Shuqin put Wang Deming and Qin Huairu's hands together, exerting a little force, "From now on, let's live our own lives well."

"Xiao Ru, don't keep some things to yourself. It will make you sick."

Qin Huairu's hands trembled immediately and her palms felt cold. She was about to explain but was interrupted by Wang Shuqin's next action.

Wang Shuqin took off a gold ring from her hand, lifted Qin Huairu's hand, and pulled it to prevent her from pulling back, and put it on her: "Xiaoru, today, Mom has wronged you."

"There was no matchmaker to propose marriage, no betrothal gifts, and you didn't even have time to wear new clothes. And yet you were allowed to marry into the family."

"It wasn't a big celebration. We didn't invite any relatives from your mother's side. We just set up two tables."

"Mom, you asked Deming to buy fabrics and prepare candies and a banquet. I..."

"Xiao Ru, I heard from you that you and De Ming are very happy now. But I want to tell you something about the future!"

"Mom, tell me, I'll listen."

"Well, although Deming is two years younger than you and is not my biological son, I have seen the changes in Deming over the past few years. He will definitely have a great future."

"But for any promising man, the woman in this family must first be able to remain stable, close her eyes and be broad-minded; secondly, she must only take care of the family and not worry about other things."

"Xiao Ru, from now on this piece of land in the countryside will be yours!"

"Do you understand what Mom means?"

Although Qin Huairu didn't quite understand what she heard, she could understand a little bit that Wang Shuqin wanted her to stay in the countryside and not go to the city.

Her heart was broken and she burst into tears. "Mom, I know!"

Why was Qin Huairu in such a hurry to get married before Wang Deming and his wife went to the capital?
She thought to herself that as long as she quickly married Wang Deming and got pregnant with his child, even if Deming knew that she had gone to the city for a blind date, he would at most scold her a few words.

As long as she got pregnant, or gave birth to a big fat boy, and then moved to the capital, even if the old woman in the middle courtyard came to make trouble, Wang Deming would definitely forgive her for the sake of the child, and she would obey him in everything.
But I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the house, my mother-in-law hinted that she already knew that I had been to Beijing for a blind date, and asked me to stay in the countryside.
Her dream of moving to the city was shattered just like that!

Wang Shuqin patted the back of Qin Huairu's hand and said, "Xiaoru, don't worry, Deming will not lack you anything you deserve!"

"I'll give you all the 5 yuan that Deming gave me every month!"

"You don't have to worry about the other three meals a day, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and clothes for all seasons. Deming will buy them for you on time!"

Wang Shuqin glanced at Wang Deming, who had been pretending to be expressionless, and said, "Deming!"

"mom."

"Mom is here today. Please express your attitude in front of Xiaoru. Can you do what I said?"

Wang Deming kept a stern face and said in silence for 3 seconds, "Yes!"

"Okay." Wang Shuqin breathed a sigh of relief and patted the back of Qin Huairu's hand. "Okay, today is your big day, just talk about it!"

"Deming, it's not cold now, so Mom will definitely sleep in the main room tonight. If you feel sorry for me, it won't be too late for you to sleep there in a few days." Wang Shuqin hugged her bedding, looked back at Qin Huairu who was still crying, then looked at Wang Deming again, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she nodded slightly, and walked out of the house.

Wang Deming and Qin Huairu were the only two people left in the room.

The two red candles were burning with a crackling sound. The flickering candlelight reflected the red "囍" characters on the windows and walls of the house, which were sometimes bright and sometimes dark, stretching out.
Wang Deming looked down at Qin Huairu, who was still crying while sitting on the kang. After thinking for a while, he went to the cabinet on the opposite wall of the room and took out a box of "Pechoin". He took out a handkerchief and handed it to her. His voice was a little stiff: "Xiaoru, wipe your tears."

"Put on some more vanishing cream, or your face will be stained tomorrow."

Qin Huairu raised her head with tears in her eyes, looking at Wang Deming's still slightly childish face, which did not have a trace of a smile. She felt another wave of sadness coming from her and cried even more miserably.

Wang Deming held the handkerchief and the Pechoin and stopped in front of Qin Huairu for a while. He found that she had no intention of stopping crying, so he put the two things in front of her and turned around to leave. "Xiaoru, since you feel so wronged, cry for a while longer."

"I'm going to go out and get Mom to come over."

"Don't!" Qin Huairu grabbed Wang Deming's arm, holding back tears, sobbing: "Don't leave."

Qin Huairu tried to hold back her tears and sniffled a few times before she stopped crying. She begged, "Deming, can you get on the bed first?"

"I'll tell you everything slowly."

Wang Deming stood at the edge of the kang. At first he did not move, but raised and lowered his hands slowly and heavily.

Qin Huairu quickly moved her legs a few times to the edge of the kang. While crying, she unbuttoned Wang Deming's clothes and cloth belt with her hands, and stubbornly pulled him to the edge of the kang and sat him down.

Qin Huairu's lips fell on Wang Deming's face, neck, and chest like raindrops, without caring about her female modesty, and cold tears followed.
"Deming, shall we get on the bed?"

"Deming."

"Hey, Xiaoru, stop crying. I'll get on the bed right away."

Wang Deming crossed his heels, took off his cloth shoes, turned around and got on the kang, but he moved his legs a little further away from Qin Huairu and turned his back to her.

Qin Huairu hurried forward again, hugged Wang Deming tightly from behind, and choked up: "Deming, listen to me"

With tears in her eyes, Qin Huairu recounted the story of her last blind date in the city, "I didn't want to go."

"But if I didn't go, my parents would force me to do it, pointing at my nose and saying I was unfilial."

"I thought I'd just sit there for a while and deal with my parents."

“I didn’t say a word to him.”

"Woo."

"Alas." Wang Deming turned around and hugged Qin Huairu in his arms, "Xiaoru, do you know how sad I was when I found out that you went to Beijing for a blind date without telling me?"

"Deming, I'm sorry."

"Your father always talks about houses and money when he's drinking. The first thing I did when I returned to the city was to buy a house, but..."

"Deming."

"You know what? My sister and her mother-in-law have been trying to introduce me to some young ladies from wealthy families in the capital, saying that they've taken a fancy to me, but I never went to see them."

"Deming, I will listen to you from now on."

"Hey Xiaoru"

"I will stay in the country and take good care of my mother from now on!"
