Quick Transmigration The Prodigal Son

Chapter 26

The Educated Youth Who Changed His Mind (6)

Xu Zhi Hong went home to discuss with his wife: "Weve just celebrated the New Year, and are very idle recently. Ill let our sons go out to work, and Ill sponsor some money to rebuild a small house near the primary school." 

Mother Xu didnt disapprove, "Its just that Im afraid that itll be difficult to tell our daughter-in-laws about it." 

Xu Zhi Hongs face sank, "I remember that we saved some dowry for Qing Qing." 

Mother Xu: "En, why?" 

Father Xu: "How about, when they marry, we dont give them the entire sum, instead converting the items into money, giving similar results." 

Mother Xu was not very willing. 

Father Xu: "A bowl of water has to be carried steadily, otherwise if theres trouble within this family, it wont be good for Qing Qing in the future either." 

Mother Xu eventually unwillingly agreed, "Then, alright." 

As Father Xu expected, when the daughter-in-laws of the family heard that they needed to fork out money and effort to build a house for Xu Qing, they almost turned the house upside down. Finally, Xu Zhi Hong suppressed them and explained his plans. 

The family was consoled a little. 

Xu Zhi Hong: "Jiang Zhe is now alone. Its not easy for him either. Qing Qing also really likes him. As a father, when they are facing difficulties, if I dont help, then who would?" 

Xu Shou Yi and his brothers faces were a bit red. 

"Dad!" 

Xu Zhi Hong waved his hands: "Enough, its settled. The house doesnt need to be very big, just enough for two people to live in. In the future, this Xu family still belongs to you two brothers." 

The two daughter-in-laws also had nothing to say. 

On the day of the wedding, Jiang Zhe wore a new tailored suit, a big red flower pinned on his chest. Under the congratulations of the educated youths, he left the house and went to the brides house to escort her. 

Jiang Zhes parents were both dead, thus the wedding was naturally prepared by the Xu family. While the others had smiles on their faces, no one knew what they truly thought in their hearts.

It was also the first time for them hearing that marrying a woman also came with a house as dowry. Though it wasnt very big, it was still a house. 

Old Xu had really lost out. 

Regardless of what others thought, under Mother Xus reluctance, Xu Qing held feelings of anticipation and joy as she married the youth she loved. 

"Have you heard? The national examinations have resumed."

This news seemingly grew wings, flying over the whole country in a short period of time. 

At the same time, all the educated youth who got the news went crazy. 

The national examinations had resumed! What did it mean? 

It meant that they could go back to the city!! 

How could this not make people excited and happy? 

Compared to the poor and barren villages with heavy labour, it was clear that the seemingly relaxed life in the city was what they wanted.

Moreover, their loved ones were in the city. 

And what does the village have? Only their unbearable past, and their uncouth and uneducated partners. 

Those educated youths who quickly ran away, abandoning their spouses and children were simply too many. 

In the Xu family, every day passed by bleakly. 

Oh, other than Xu Shou Ren and his wife. These two people had long been unhappy with Jiang Zhe. 

Xu Shou Ren was hoping that Jiang Zhe would run, so that when he caught him, he would beat him till he cried. His wife purely didnt want to see Xu Qing enjoying her life. 

At the beginning, she felt that the Xu family had paid with money and effort, yet Xu Qings heart only sided with Jiang Zhe. 

The elders on the team all viewed this couple negatively, but what were the results? 

Jiang Zhe was simply too sweet. 

He taught during the day and went home at night. Looking at him, his temperament and heart seemed cold. In fact, he was only externally cold, and truthfully had a warm heart inside. From what she heard from her mother-in-law, Jiang Zhe even regularly cooked meals at home. 

Xu Shou Rens wife didn't believe it at first, who couldnt say things to maintain their face?

However, it wasnt till Jiang Zhe showed off his skills in the Xu family did she put down her doubts. 

That level of handicraft couldnt be done by someone who didnt often enter the kitchen. 

But this wasnt the issue. At most, he could be a house-husband. 

But she watched as Xu Qing managed her household, showing off what her man bought for her again every time she returned to her maternal home, how good he was to her, where he brought her out to play again, Xu Shou Rens wife couldnt help but be jealous. 

They were all men, how could the gap be so big? 

It was because Jiang Zhe was weak, therefore he naturally treated his wife better. She thought darkly.

Now that the national examinations had resumed, Jiang Zhe would definitely not be interested in Xu Qing any more. 

Xu Qing would soon be abandoned, and even the villager-born son that she bore would be similarly abandoned. 

She heard that her father-in-law and mother-in-law lost sleep from worrying over this matter, secretly happy in her heart. 

They were all women, why should Xu Qing live better than her? 

As for after Xu Qing had been abandoned, where she would stay, didnt she still have the house by the primary school? That was still her dowry.

A daughter that married out was like spilt water, unable to return in the future. 

The resumption of the national examinations made the Xu parents worried, and also made Xu Qing worried. 

But to let her open her mouth and ask Jiang Zhe to stay behind, not to go for the national examinations, she couldnt do it. 

After marrying Jiang Zhe and interacting day and night, she finally knew how amazing and good her man was. 

Such a man belongs to broader skies, and not following her to stay in such a backward village. 

Xu Qing thought a lot and analysed the pros and cons. She felt that she should decisively let him go. 

But after returning home, seeing her sweet son sleeping in the cradle, all her willpower crumbled to dust. 

Not long after she got married, she was pregnant. During that time, she vomited violently, and Jiang Zhe came down every day during his free time to spin his magic, making delicious meals for her, making her happy. 

How wonderful the past was, how cruel the reality was. 

She fell helplessly, sitting on the ground, crying silently. 

Her son in the cradle seemed to feel his mothers sad mood and started wailing without warning. 

Jiang Zhe was coming home from outside and heard the sound from far away. 

His heart was anxious, and he quickly ran home without a second to lose. 

Jiang Zhe: "Qing Qing, Qing Qing" 

Xu Qing hugged her son, one adult and one child crying. 

Jiang Zhes mind blanked. 

He put down the things in his hand, baffled: "What's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" 

He touched his wife's forehead and touched his son, they didnt have a fever ah! 

Towards Jiang Zhes concerned and worried gaze, the walls in Xu Qings heart collapsed completely. She hugged her son, crying heartbrokenly, Jiang Zhe, dont let us abandon us, Jiang Zhe

Xu Qing: "I know that Im not gentle enough, not considerate enough and not understanding enough. But I will definitely be good in the future. The things you taught me, Im also seriously learning it, I will work very hard. So Jiang Zhe, you, don't leave us behind, alright" 

Towards the end, Xu Qings voice got smaller and smaller. She hugged her son and looked down in despair, seemingly foreseeing the tragic future. 

Jiang Zhes heart was both sour and bitter. He couldn't help but stroke his wife's black hair, "What are you thinking about, you are both my most beloved people. How could I abandon you two?" 

Xu Qing suddenly looked up, unable to hide the hope shining in her eyes. Jiang Zhes heart and head softened, hesitantly embracing her, Dont worry, I wont leave you two behind, dont be afraid. 

Jiang Zhe: Look, youve scared Dou Dou. 

Xu Qing looked down. Her son had stopped crying, his pair of big eyes opened widely, looking curiously at his father and mother, not knowing what game the two were playing. 

Xu Qing:  

Jiang Zhe wiped her tears, "Alright, bring Dou Dou to bed to rest for a while. I will go cook." 

Xu Qing didnt want to, "Youre so tired every day, go rest instead.  I will cook." 

Jiang Zhe saw the hidden unease under her tough exterior and sighed in his heart. So be it, it was good for her to do something to distract her. 

He nodded. Xu Qing handed him his son happily, turning around and entering the kitchen. 

As the days passed, Jiang Zhe continued as normal. This undoubtedly made the Xu parents relieved. 

On the other hand, Xu Qing was behaving unusually, becoming more and more anxious every day. 

On this day, she once again stopped Xu Zhi Hong on the road, quietly asking, "Dad, did Jiang Zhes admission notice come down?" 

Xu Zhi Hong comforted his daughter. "Dont worry, its should come within these few days." 

Xu Qing nodded in understanding, but her heart was still anxious. 

This year was the first year the national examinations resumed. There were still many rules being formed, and the results were not announced publicly. The final result would only be shown by the admission notice.

Therefore, the possibility of tampering was very high.

Jiang Zhe was so good and outstanding, if he was ruined by such under-handed means, she would be angered to death. 

In Xu Qing's uneasiness, three days passed in the blink of an eye. She ran to find Xu Zhi Hong once again. 

Jiang Zhe was completely speechless. No wonder the old man was becoming more and more dissatisfied with him. 

However, his wifes heart was aligned to his, doing things in consideration of him. Jiang Zhes heart couldnt lie, he was touched and he liked it. 

Therefore, when he occasionally met the old mans unfriendly gaze, he would always smile it off. 

Just that, this time, why had Qing Qing been gone for such a long time and still hadnt returned? 

He put down his book, nimbly picking up his son and walked out of the door, carrying his son to the Xu family. 

Before he even walked close, he heard laughter sounding from the Xu family. 

What good event happened? 

He knocked on the Xu familys door. Xu Ai Guo came to open the door for him. When he saw him, his eyes shone like stars. "Uncle, you are so amazing, you were admitted to Sha Hua University. In the future, you can study in the bustling capital city." Going to school." 

Jiang Zhe froze for a moment, then laughed. 

After all, this result was long within his expectations. He had confidence in himself. In addition, there was a system behind him. If someone wanted to touch his grades, it depended on whether their skills were good enough.

TN: So I saw the comment where someone said they hated Yao Yao, and I raise you this: Xu Shou Ren's wife. I got pretty angry with her during this chapter because of how she spitefully vents her unhappiness of her marriage onto Xu Qing. But, meh, she's an unnamed character so she can't be too important.
