Chapter 74: Starting to hide secret money before getting married? ? ?

Standing outside the door, Gu Cheng’an watched her busy figure, a happy smile spreading across his stiff face. “Hey~ Jiang Zhiqing, I heard you’re getting your marriage certificate with Wanqing today, why haven’t you gone yet?” Wu Second Aunt had been watching their house since morning, seeing that the two who were supposed to get their marriage certificate hadn’t left yet, she thought the wedding had been called off. The little person in her heart had already planned to go to the village entrance and chat with everyone, but who knew…

He Wanqing, who had locked the door, heard the question behind her, pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and turned around with a smile: “Second Aunt Wu, the marriage certificate office is always open, we’re not sneaking around to hide anything, so we’re not in a hurry. But Second Aunt, you’re going to the fields so late today, aren’t you afraid that your Second Grandma will get angry when she comes back?” Her smiling face was full of sincerity, making it hard for Wu Second Aunt to find words to retort. “I just finished the work at home, and I’m going to the fields now.

” Thinking of her mother-in-law’s appearance, Wu Second Aunt quickened her pace, transitioning from a fast walk to a run, afraid that her mother-in-law, who loved to gossip, would find her and then stand at the door and scold her without any regard. But she secretly muttered to herself, He Wanqing’s mouth has become increasingly sharp lately, and her ability to fight and scold is also impressive. Seeing her leave, she raised an eyebrow and scanned her surroundings.

If anyone else came, she wouldn’t mind revealing their shortcomings. “Let’s go!” After making sure no one else was around, she took her things and sat on the back of the bicycle. “Okay!” Gu Cheng’an, who had been rescued, nodded with a smile, his long legs crossed over the bicycle and sat on the seat. After she was seated, he retracted his legs, stepped on the pedals, and rode towards the commune. As they passed the village entrance, they stopped and said a few words to He Grandma and Shen Grandma before continuing to the commune.

 They rode in silence, and when they reached the commune, they parked the bicycle at the Public Security Bureau and walked towards the bus stop. “Should we call your parents and tell them about getting the marriage certificate?” He Wanqing asked, looking at him after he took the things from her hand. “We’ll call them after we get it in the county.” He answered without hesitation. “As you wish.” With that, they reached the bus stop.

 They boarded the bus one after the other and sat down in an empty seat. Just as the bus started, the conductor came to collect the fares. He Wanqing, who had already taken out the money, was about to pay when she was stopped by Gu Cheng’an. Looking at the money in the man’s hand, she raised an eyebrow. If she remembered correctly, hadn’t he given his salary and ration coupons to her? So where did the money in his hand come from?

Or was he already hiding his own money before they were even married? Gu Cheng’an, feeling a chill down his spine, held the ticket in his hand and looked at her in confusion. She shook her head, didn’t say anything, and winked at him. He was even more confused. He put the remaining money in his pocket, took the package and placed it on his lap, looked at her profile while watching the roads on both sides gradually disappear outside the window.

 Feeling the man’s curious gaze, she pursed her lips and smiled, looking out the window without saying a word. As the bus started and stopped, more and more people got on, and they were forced to sit by the window, giving up their seats to a woman. As more and more people got on, the smell became increasingly unbearable. Just as she was about to reach her limit, she finally saw the two words “County City”. After another twenty minutes, the bus stopped, and a wave of people got off.

 He Wanqing and Gu Cheng’an, who were following the crowd, took deep breaths the moment they got off the bus. It was so hard, even with the windows open on the bus, they almost suffocated from the smell of chicken and pig manure. She checked the time and found it was already ten o’clock. They didn’t stop and went straight to the Civil Affairs Office. They managed to get the marriage certificate before closing time. Looking at the names on the certificate, she smiled with tears in her eyes. It wasn’t easy, after two lifetimes, she finally got her own marriage certificate. She reached out to carefully touch the marriage certificate, looked at the patterns on it, and her heart couldn’t calm down for a long time. Her thoughts drifted back to her previous life.

 That day, she wanted Xu Weijun to come back and get the marriage certificate with her, but in the end… in the end, she was scolded by Zhu Sanni, mocked by Xu Xiaohua and her sisters, and ridiculed by the two sisters-in-law. Then in the evening, she was instigated by Xu Xiaohua and beaten by Zhu Sanni and the others. Thinking of her helplessness at the time, thinking of her… “What’s wrong? It’s already lunchtime, let’s go have lunch first, then we’ll call them.” Feeling the warmth of his hand, she snapped out of her painful memories. She touched the place where he had just pulled her, looked at his face, and said: “It’s nothing, I’m just surprised that I’m getting a marriage certificate.” And it’s a marriage certificate with a photo on it, thinking of how he had personally washed the photo for the marriage certificate to have a photo on it, she felt inexplicably touched.

 “Of course you have to get a marriage certificate when you’re married, otherwise, how can you be a couple.” Looking at her misty eyes, Gu Cheng’an, unable to resist the itch, shifted his gaze away from her. “Let’s go, let’s go eat.” “Okay.” She reached out and touched the place where she had been beaten in her previous life because she wanted to get a marriage certificate, looked at his back, raised a smile, and followed him. After she caught up, Gu Cheng’an, who had just taken another step, matched his pace with hers, staying half a step behind her, not letting her fall behind because of his long legs. He Wanqing was half a step ahead, he was half a step behind, protecting her all the way as they entered the state-run restaurant across the street.

“What do you want to eat?” He asked, looking at the dishes listed on the blackboard. She glanced at him, then looked at the blackboard, her thin lips parted slightly: “Braised fish with tofu, chicken stewed with mushrooms, what do you want to eat?” After ordering two dishes, she looked at him. “Add a pot-wrapped meat that you like, six taels of rice, and four meat buns, is that enough?” “No, that’s too much, there are only two of us, we won’t be able to finish it, it’ll be a waste.

” After so many days, her appetite had returned to normal, so she couldn’t eat much. Besides, the dishes were now plentiful, three dishes plus rice and buns, they definitely wouldn’t be able to finish it. “It’s okay, I have a big appetite.” He smiled shyly, then stepped forward, took out his money and ration coupons, and started ordering. Gu Cheng’an didn’t dare to say that since he came here, he had never really eaten his fill, except for last night at her house when he had drunk his fill. Looking at the man’s reddened earlobes, she pursed her lips, thinking of something?

 Her eyes swept over his stomach, watching him finish ordering the food and paying before going to sit at an empty seat near the window. “Here.”

 As her gaze drifted out the window, a deep voice sounded. She withdrew her gaze, looked at the man’s hand with its distinct knuckles, holding out a soda: “What about yours?” She reached out to take the soda, her misty eyes looking at him. “I don’t like to drink it, you drink it.” She explained with a smile, then sat down opposite him.
