Chapter 40: Getting the Marriage Certificate with Captain Jiang Tomorrow

“What?!”

Wu Xiuxiu and her family were all stunned, looking at Zhou Lin dumbly.

“Wu Xiuxiu, according to policy, married women don’t need to go to the countryside, only unmarried women do.

But you haven’t gotten your marriage certificate with Captain Jiang yet, so you’re not considered married. If you’re not married, you have to obey the state policy and go to the countryside.

If you don’t want to go to the countryside, you have to get your marriage certificate with Captain Jiang immediately and show it to me.

So you have to go get your marriage certificate with Captain Jiang tomorrow. If you get it, you won’t have to go to the countryside the day after tomorrow. If you don’t get it, you’ll have to go to the countryside.”

Zhou Lin said, with a confident and righteous demeanor.

She sneered in her heart: Little girl, you’re too young to play games with me!

This little girl’s story about her and Captain Jiang sounded like a fairy tale.

During her hospitalization, she happened to meet this combat hero who was also hospitalized with a severe injury and was on the verge of death. He urgently needed a blood transfusion, and she, despite being sick herself, gave him a large amount of blood, saving his life. He was very grateful and fell in love with her, wanting to marry her.

No matter how you think about it, it sounds like a made-up story, a way to deceive her and prevent her from forcing her to go to the countryside.

She even doubted whether Captain Jiang even existed, whether it was just a fabrication by Wu Xiuxiu, but then she remembered that Wu Xiuxiu already knew she had acquaintances in the hospital.

She could go to the hospital to find out if there was anyone named Captain Jiang. Wu Xiuxiu wouldn’t dare to make up a name like Captain Jiang to deceive her.

Captain Jiang should exist, he should be a real person, and he should have been hospitalized for injuries, but the story between him and Wu Xiuxiu was fake.

Wu Xiuxiu’s heroic act of saving him was fake, so naturally his gratitude and love for her were also fake.

She originally wanted to expose Wu Xiuxiu right now, but then she thought about it. She didn’t have any evidence to prove that Wu Xiuxiu was lying to her. If she exposed Wu Xiuxiu, and Wu Xiuxiu insisted that she was telling the truth, she wouldn’t have any way to prove it.

It would be better to let Wu Xiuxiu go get the marriage certificate with Captain Jiang tomorrow and show it to her.

At the same time, she would find time to go to the hospital to inquire about Captain Jiang tomorrow, and try to see him if possible. This way, she could find evidence that Wu Xiuxiu was making up a bunch of lies to deceive her.

Wu Xiuxiu would definitely not be able to get the marriage certificate with Captain Jiang tomorrow and show it to her.

Then she would confront Wu Xiuxiu with evidence of her lies, and see how this little b*tch would react. What tricks could she play then?

She would have no choice but to obediently fill out the application form for going to the countryside and obediently go to the countryside the day after tomorrow.

“This…” Wu Xiuxiu never expected Zhou Lin to do this to her, to make things so difficult for her.

She thought that after hearing her words, Zhou Lin wouldn’t make things difficult for her anymore. She was wrong.

What should she do now?

Zhou Lin’s words seemed flawless and couldn’t be refuted, but how could she go get the marriage certificate with her partner tomorrow? Her partner was still in bed and couldn’t get out of bed.

Besides, she had only known her partner for a few days, and it was too fast to get a marriage certificate.

She was embarrassed to ask her partner to go get the marriage certificate tomorrow. Although she had the excuse of going to the countryside, she felt it was inappropriate.

Moreover, her partner was a soldier, and he couldn’t get married without permission. He had to apply to the army for a marriage report, and only after the army approved it could they go get the marriage certificate.

That’s right, she could tell Zhou Lin about these “difficulties” on the surface.

“Director Zhou, I can’t get the marriage certificate with Captain Jiang tomorrow because he’s seriously injured and can’t get out of bed yet.” Wu Xiuxiu said with a troubled expression.

“I can only go get the marriage certificate with him after he recovers, and he’s a soldier, so he can’t get married without permission.

He has to apply to the army for a marriage report, and only after the army approves it can we get married and get the marriage certificate.” She deliberately showed a helpless expression.

After hearing this, Zhou Lin shouldn’t make things difficult for her anymore, forcing her to go get the marriage certificate with her partner tomorrow and show it to her, otherwise she would have to go to the countryside the day after tomorrow.

Wu Xiuxiu was completely wrong. Unbeknownst to her, Zhou Lin, after hearing her words, felt that she was just making excuses, and became even more convinced that she was lying to her.

This girl is really good at making excuses, but these excuses are all legitimate reasons, they’re plausible and there are no loopholes to be found.

She seemed to understand why this girl had to make up the story of her partner being a soldier, and even a captain. It was because there were reasons why she couldn’t get the marriage certificate, and she could continue to delay.

She probably thought that if she delayed until all the educated youths of this year had gone to the countryside, she would be safe, and Zhou Lin wouldn’t be watching her anymore, forcing her to get the marriage certificate.

Hmph—she’s really thinking too highly of herself!

“Wu Xiuxiu, I understand what you’re saying, but these things are useless in the face of policy. The policy clearly states that unmarried women must go to the countryside, while married women don’t have to.

If you can’t get the marriage certificate, then you’re unmarried, and you have to go to the countryside.” Zhou Lin said.

“If you just have a partner, and you say that you’ll get married in the future, and you don’t need to show the marriage certificate, and that’s considered married, and you don’t have to go to the countryside, then everyone would do that, wouldn’t they? No one would go to the countryside!

What about the policy set by the higher authorities?” Zhou Lin asked Wu Xiuxiu with a smile, her eyes fixed on Wu Xiuxiu.

Wu Xiuxiu was speechless, secretly feeling uneasy. She felt that Zhou Lin didn’t believe her previous words, didn’t believe her story with Yun Han, and thought she was lying to her, so she deliberately used the marriage certificate to trap her.

Zhou Lin’s words were impossible to refute, or rather, it was not wise to refute them. One wrong move could lead to trouble.

This was a special decade, where a single wrong word could lead to being labeled and causing trouble.

Zhou Lin had repeatedly mentioned policies, and finally said, “What about the policies from above?” If I were to refute her, she might accuse me of being dissatisfied with the policies, and I would be in a terrible situation.

“I won’t say more. I’ve said what I need to say. If you don’t want to go to the countryside, get your marriage certificate with Captain Jiang tomorrow. If you can’t get it, you’ll have to go to the countryside. This is a hard rule in the policy, and no one can change it.”

Zhou Lin finished speaking and didn’t give Wu Xiuxiu a chance to speak, quickly saying, “I have other things to do. I have to go. Remember to get your marriage certificate with Captain Jiang tomorrow and bring it to my office for me to see. I’ll be waiting for you in the office.”

Before her voice faded, Zhou Lin turned and left.

After watching Zhou Lin leave, Ding Hongjuan immediately grabbed her daughter’s hand anxiously and cried, “Xiuxiu, what do we do now? I didn’t expect this woman Zhou Lin to make you get the marriage certificate tomorrow and show it to her.”

“Mom, don’t panic. I think Zhou Lin doesn’t believe Xiuxiu and Captain Jiang’s story. She thinks Xiuxiu is lying to her, so she’s deliberately making things difficult for Xiuxiu.

I think tomorrow Xiuxiu should go to Captain Jiang, tell him about Zhou Lin, and ask him to send someone to accompany Xiuxiu to the street office to find Zhou Lin and prove to her that Xiuxiu and Captain Jiang’s story is true.

Then Zhou Lin won’t make things difficult for Xiuxiu anymore. She won’t force Xiuxiu to get the marriage certificate with Captain Jiang tomorrow and show it to her, otherwise, Xiuxiu will have to go to the countryside the day after tomorrow.”

Wu Xiuxiu was about to comfort her mother when Dong Xiaoye stepped forward to comfort her mother.

Hearing this, Wu Xiuxiu’s eyes lit up, thinking that her sister-in-law’s idea was good.

Ding Hongjuan also thought her daughter-in-law’s idea was good and nodded in agreement, “Xiaoye, your idea is good! Let’s do it as you said.”

“Xiuxiu, get up early tomorrow morning and go to the hospital to explain the situation to Captain Jiang.

Ask him to send someone to accompany you to the street office to find Zhou Lin and testify for you. Shut this woman’s mouth, so she has nothing to say anymore, so she won’t keep staring at you and pestering you, making things difficult for you!”

This woman Zhou Lin is like a ghost. It’s terrifying to be stared at and pestered by her. It’s suffocating.

“That’s the only way!” Wu Xiuxiu nodded.

Wu Zhipeng, who was standing aside, didn’t say anything but also nodded.

The next morning, Wu Xiuxiu went to the hospital. Although she was eager to go to the hospital, she still brought the brown sugar water eggs that her mother had cooked for Jiang Yunhan.

Ding Hongjuan had no complaints about these eggs for Jiang Yunhan. Knowing that her daughter was going to the hospital this morning, she got up early to cook five brown sugar water eggs before her daughter even woke up, so that her daughter could bring them to the hospital for her son-in-law to replenish his body.

When Wu Xiuxiu arrived at the hospital, she saw that the clock in the lobby of the inpatient department showed that it was only a little past eight o’clock. She was a little worried that she had come too early and that the object was still asleep.

But since she had already come, she couldn’t go back. She thought that she would just apologize to the object and wake him up if he was still asleep.

She pushed open the door of the ward, but found that the man on the bed was already awake and was wiping his face with a towel handed to him by Chen Xuping.

“Brother Yunhan, good morning! Cheng Dage, good morning!” Wu Xiuxiu walked into the ward, smiled sweetly, and greeted the two men.

“Xiuxiu!” Jiang Yunhan and Cheng Xuping were both a little surprised to see Wu Xiuxiu.

“Xiuxiu, why are you here so early today?” Jiang Yunhan asked.

“I, I have something I want to ask you for help.” Wu Xiuxiu hesitated for a moment before telling the truth.

“What’s the matter?” Jiang Yunhan immediately stared at her with concern.

Cheng Xuping also stared at her with a concerned expression.

“It’s not a big deal. It’s a small matter for you. Eat breakfast first, and I’ll tell you later… My mom made you some brown sugar water eggs. She said it’s good for replenishing blood, especially for people like you who have lost a lot of blood.”

Wu Xiuxiu said, walking to the bedside and taking out the large jar she was carrying in her pocket and opening it.

“You’ve already washed your face. You can go out.” Jiang Yunhan handed the towel back to Cheng Xuping and instructed.

“Yes. Captain Jiang, call me anytime if you need anything. I’ll be right outside.”

Although Cheng Xuping was very curious about what Wu Xiuxiu wanted, he saw that Jiang Yunhan intentionally wanted to send him away, so he wisely left immediately.

“Now that Cheng Xuping is gone, it’s just the two of us in this room. Xiuxiu, if you have anything you need to ask me for help, just say it. I will definitely help.”

Jiang Yunhan said to his beloved little girl after Cheng Xuping closed the door.

He thought that Wu Xiuxiu had said to eat breakfast first because Cheng Xuping was there, so he deliberately sent Cheng Xuping away.

“Even if you want the moon in the sky, I will pick it for you.”

Before Wu Xiuxiu could speak, he smiled at her, his eyes filled with affection and indulgence.

Wu Xiuxiu’s heart skipped a beat, a wave of honey flowed through her, and her heart felt as sweet as honey.

“Okay, I want the moon in the sky, you go pick it for me!” Wu Xiuxiu smiled playfully at him, blinking her bright beautiful eyes.
