Become a burden in a period novel

Qin Fang didn't believe that Qin Wangshu would be willing to marry a peasant, even if that peasant was a retired soldier.

Back then, she could easily outmaneuver them, getting Wang Jianguo to give her money and even selling her job for cash. How could she possibly endure a life of hardship in the countryside?

Although Qin Fang kept telling herself that Qin Wangshu was asking for trouble by going to the countryside and that she must be having a very hard time there, she also knew that he was a very smart child.

Since she chose to go to the countryside, she must have already planned her future and wouldn't let herself suffer.

Although she didn't know how she did it, Qin Fang inexplicably believed it.

With so much money and tickets, even though she was thin and weak at the time, she was absolutely capable of holding on.

Qin Jingchu probably said this because he didn't want me to go to Qin Wangshu. It seemed that Qin Wangshu was doing very well, and he was afraid that I would interfere with Qin Wangshu's happy life.

How unfilial! Neither Qin Wangshu nor Qin Jingchu in front of me. And although they were my children, they really don't resemble me.

"Since your sister is having a hard time, why don't you lend a hand?" Qin Fang sneered. "You've been in the army for so many years, your rank must be quite high, right? Haven't you ever thought about having your sister join you in the military and finding her a military officer to be an officer's wife?"

Now that we've come this far, Qin Fang no longer needs to pretend to be a loving mother.

"I'm afraid your sister is doing well. She's Xu Huai'an's child. Even if she's not doing well, Xu Huaici is back, isn't he? He must be doing quite well to be able to come back from abroad, after all, they took a lot of things with them back then."

What she hated most was that Xu Huai'an arranged for everyone to go abroad, while he chose to stay in the country.

It's one thing for me to stay, but to make her stay with me too? If she goes abroad, she'll definitely be a thousand times, ten thousand times better off than she is in China!

"So you've finally given up acting? Actually, you shouldn't have been a teacher. You should have acted in model operas. Maybe you could have become a star!" This was the first time Qin Jingchu had said such harsh words to anyone, especially his own mother.

"You!" Qin Fang was very angry. Her children were supposed to listen to her, but both of her children disobeyed her! Qin Fang didn't think it was her fault; she only felt that her two children were of bad character.

"Is this how the country teaches you to treat your own mother? You're a soldier, do you think they'll let me live out my retirement if I go to your unit?" Qin Fang sneered.

Those who have nothing to lose are fearless, and now she is that barefoot one. Qin Jingchu is a soldier; he has to support himself. With him around, Xu Huaici has to be careful not to harm him!

"Don't worry, I will take care of you in your old age." The minimum expenses to ensure she doesn't starve are not much, and he can afford them.

Look, this is his mother. With a mother like this, how could he possibly start a family and drag another innocent woman into this quagmire?

Don't say you can ignore her; she's your mother, and that status naturally gives you an advantage. If he doesn't support her, all public opinion will be on her side.

Moreover, Qin Fang doesn't care about her son at all, so she's really capable of anything.

“Let’s leave it at that for today,” Qin Jingchu glanced at his watch. “I suppose you don’t want me to stay for dinner. I told Uncle Wu about the things Father left behind, and you’ve probably already noticed that they’ve all been moved away.”

"Why! Those were left to me by your father!" Qin Fang became even angrier at the mention of those things. They were left by Xu Huai'an, given to her, and belonged to her!

"That was left to you by your father to support us. That was property belonging to our branch of the family after the division of property. Not all of it is yours," Qin Jingchu said seriously. "That was the Xu family's property, but how much of it did you use to support the Xu family?"

"That's enough. I'll stop Fifth Uncle from harming you and I'll send you a pension every year. Don't contact me again!"

"No, you are my child, you have to take me away!" Qin Fang moved closer to Qin Jingchu and grabbed his sleeve.

She was out of money, but Qin Jingchu was certainly not short of cash. Leaving aside what he'd taken, his allowance alone was substantial. With him, she was sure she could live a better life.

It's getting harder and harder for her to get money from Wang Jianguo now, and her life is getting increasingly difficult. Now that her son has grown up, she can rely on him to make a living.
