Chapter 235: Chapter 235 Moving Back to the Dormitory

Jiang Zhixun has already returned from his break, but Shen Qingqing is still early.

She has to wait until after the Lantern Festival to start school.

With school on break, there’s no one there, and the cafeteria is closed, and the dorms have no place to cook, so you can’t eat out every day.

Shen Qingqing continues to stay in the compound, planning to move back to the dorm when the break ends.

Before Jiang Zhixun returned from his break, the two went back to school once to bring the materials Shen Qingqing needed to translate back to the Jiang Family.

With plenty of time, she could spare a few hours each day to work, earning money without missing out on rest.

Without Jiang Zhixun at home, no one would disturb her work, and Shen Qingqing made rapid progress.

She managed to earn a small sum before the semester started.

Shen Qingqing moved back to the dorm ahead of time, and Madam Jiang was quite reluctant.

"Why not just move back here to live?"

Shen Qingqing refused, "It’s convenient living at school, and I can sleep in a bit in the mornings."

Thinking about it, Madam Jiang agreed, "When Zhixun comes back, let him take you."

Shen Qingqing replied, "I don’t have much stuff; I’ll just take the bus myself. I want to go back early to clean up and then have a good sleep. There’s a meeting tomorrow."

If Jiang Zhixun is free, he would go to school to see her himself.

Since they were both in Beijing, meeting up was quite easy.

Besides, Shen Qingqing was used to handling her own matters and didn’t need to wait for Jiang Zhixun to take her.

Her independence made Madam Jiang proud, but also a bit heartbroken.

Qingqing had been forced to become this way.

Having gone through so much, she had no choice but to be independent.

"I’ll go to school with you. After cleaning, I’ll come back and not disturb your work."

Shen Qingqing was amused, "I’m not a child; I don’t need parents to see me off to school."

Since Madam Jiang didn’t work, having Shen Qingqing at home provided someone to chat with and do housework together, and they’d go out shopping or buy groceries... Life was more enjoyable than before.

Now that she was moving back to the dorm, Madam Jiang really couldn’t get used to it and wanted to accompany her to school.

She sighed, "You’re all busy, and the house will be lonely again."

It would be great to have a child.

She could help the couple take care of the child, letting them work without any worries.

How wonderful!

Shen Qingqing didn’t know Madam Jiang’s thoughts and, carrying her suitcase, was about to leave, "There are a lot of things to do at the start of the semester, and it will be busy. I’ll come back to see you when I have time."

"Are you sure you don’t want me to help you?"

Shen Qingqing nodded, "There isn’t much work; it can be cleaned up quickly."

The dorm room wasn’t big, and it could be tidied up in less than an hour.

Then a shower and laundry.

All the work could be finished in two to three hours.

Shen Qingqing wanted some personal space and planned to eat and sleep after finishing up.

If Madam Jiang were there, she couldn’t do as she pleased.

"In that case, I’ll see you off. I’ll go back once you’re on the bus."

This time, Shen Qingqing didn’t refuse again.

The two chatted casually while walking out.

They ran into quite a few familiar faces on the way.

Without exception, everyone wanted to know when Shen Qingqing would remarry and if they would have a wedding.

During this period, her staying in the compound sent out a signal to outsiders.

Shen Qingqing and Jiang Zhixun were really going to live well together!

Shen Qingqing didn’t give a clear answer, "If there’s a wedding, we’ll definitely invite you for a drink."

They assumed they wanted to remarry quietly and didn’t ask further.

At this time, Yang’s mother and Yang Fen returned from outside, with a stranger man beside them.

The man was carrying bags of things, talking to Yang Fen.

He looked eager, but Yang Fen had a cold face, those familiar with her knew this meant she was impatient.

Upon seeing Shen Qingqing and Madam Jiang, Yang’s mother approached them, "Is Qingqing heading back to school?"

She held her luggage, while Madam Jiang carried a few small items for her.

The two were chatting and laughing, not looking like there was any strife, or that Shen Qingqing had deliberately left home.

Thinking about the time, the school should also be starting soon.

Shen Qingqing made a sound of acknowledgment, with an okay attitude towards Yang’s mother, "Going back to work."

Yang’s mother laughed and said, "Young people are busy. After the New Year, the compound is so quiet. When you’re not working, you have to come back more often."

Madam Jiang interjected, asking Yang’s mother, "Who is this gentleman?"

Yang’s mother smiled even more, "It’s Xiao Fen’s boyfriend. He had some free time today to come over for a meal."

Madam Jiang exclaimed, "When did she start dating? We didn’t even know."

During New Year, Madam Jiang was focused on Shen Qingqing and Jiang Zhixun, not paying attention to other families’ affairs.

Not just the Jiang Family, others in the compound didn’t know Yang Fen was dating either.

Yang Fen lowered her head, a flicker of annoyance in her eyes.

"Mom, I’ll go home and cook first."

Yang’s mother glanced at her, "Alright, you go back first. I’ll chat with the aunties for a bit."

After they left, Yang’s mother spoke again.

"He was introduced by my family back home. I took Xiao Fen back for a matchmaking date during the New Year."

No wonder we didn’t see them then.

Madam Jiang asked, "What does the gentleman do? He looks quite young, like a university student."

Yang’s mother laughed, "He’s no university student, he’s already twenty-five."

"That’s younger than Qingqing’s group," Madam Jiang remarked.

Then she asked, "What does the gentleman do for work?"

"He runs a small business," Yang’s mother replied.

Xiao Fen complained quite a bit, feeling that the man wasn’t ambitious and lacked a proper, respectable job.

If it weren’t for her getting older and feeling anxious, that girl might still be fussy and unwilling to settle so easily.

Yang’s mother sighed inwardly.

Her daughter was really spoiled by her sister-in-law.

Having high standards isn’t wrong, but one shouldn’t just pick on others’ flaws and not improve oneself!

Like Shen Qingqing, she also has high standards.

But she’s capable herself, so no one thinks her high standards are an issue.

Concerning others’ affairs, Madam Jiang refrained from giving opinions and agreed, "Running a small business is fine too; there’s no problem supporting a family. As long as you manage the marriage well, the days won’t be bad."

Yang’s mother agreed with this view.

At first, she had some concerns, but when she heard from relatives back home that the prospective son-in-law running a small business could earn a hundred or two hundred a month,

sometimes even two or three hundred if things go well.

That’s much more than Xiao Fen’s salary!

Moreover, the man was unmarried before, had two older sisters who were already married off, and the family relationships were simple, so Xiao Fen wouldn’t suffer grievances if she married him.

Matchmaking means mutual selection.

Yang’s mother was well aware that the groom’s family appreciated their family’s conditions.

That’s fine; it’s human nature.

Who wouldn’t want to find someone outstanding when looking for a partner?

As of now, the gentleman didn’t have any problems, and his business had a promising future,

If only Xiao Fen could change her temper a bit and get along well, the days really wouldn’t be bad.

Laughing, she said, "I only have one wish now, that Xiao Fen can get married this year. If she doesn’t get married soon, I’ll be worried to death."

Madam Jiang could relate.

In previous years, she was also worried and couldn’t sleep at night,

fearing her son would end up alone all his life, no children, and no one to talk to.

Fortunately, Qingqing came back.

She even gave Zhixun a chance!

"Parents all over the world share the same worries. We, as parents, only want our children to have everything go smoothly."

Although she disliked Li Hongyan and Yang Fen, Madam Jiang had no objections towards Yang’s mother.

After chatting for a few minutes, they went their separate ways.

"Once she gets married and doesn’t live in the compound, no one will bother you and Zhixun," Madam Jiang said.

Shen Qingqing shook her head, "I don’t take her seriously."

After all, it’s Yang Fen who will be the one feeling angry, wronged, and upset.

As long as she can let it go, no one can bother her!
