Chapter 25

The person in charge looked at her in confusion, “Huh? You forgot me so quickly. I was the one who registered your information when you came to sign up for going to the countryside. But how come you have lost so much weight? It’s only been a month since we last met, and it seems like you have lost a lot of weight.”

Bai Ruanruan’s eyes lit up. She didn’t expect that the person who registered actually remembered her.

Thinking about the distance between here and Gu’s family, Bai Ruanruan felt that this was a good opportunity for her revenge.

He immediately said, “Comrade, I am here to explain the situation. I am married and cannot go to the countryside.”

The person in charge was shocked, “Married?”

“Yes.” Bai Ruanruan took out her marriage certificate.

The person in charge took it and looked at it, confirming that it was real, and frowned in confusion, “Comrade, what’s going on? You just signed up to go to the countryside a month ago, how come you got married so soon? If you didn’t want to go to the countryside in the first place, you shouldn’t have signed up.”

The person in charge has been here for several years and has been responsible for registering the information of educated youth going to the countryside.

She has seen many people who do not want to go to the countryside, and some spend a lot of money to buy jobs, while others rush to find someone to marry.

But Bai Ruanruan came to sign up on her own initiative, and since she was pretty, she kept it in mind. She also told her colleagues that this girl was aware of the situation, and praised her a lot in private.

As a result, they got the marriage certificate just one month after they registered?

Bai Ruanruan feels that it is time to show off her superb acting skills!

She stretched out her hand and pinched her thigh hard, tears instantly filling her eyes. She said, “Comrade, to be honest, I never planned to go to the countryside. The person you saw before was not me, but my cousin Gu Zhenxi.”

“We sisters look very similar. Because I had some conflicts with my cousin before, she went to my house and stole my letter of introduction and my clothes, and pretended to be me to register.”

“It’s not that I don’t want to go to the countryside to build the motherland, but I’ve been weak since I was a child. I can’t do heavy work. I’m out of breath after walking down a street. I get sick every winter and have to take medicine. If I go to the countryside, I probably won’t survive this winter. My cousin and I look alike. No matter how I explain, I guess no one will believe me, so I have to get married quickly.”

As she spoke, Bai Ruanruan wiped away the tears that had not yet fallen from her eyes and said, “If I were in better health, I would also be willing to go to the countryside to build the city. After all, I don’t have a job in the city, but my body really can’t bear it…”

The person in charge was almost stunned. He took a closer look and found that Bai Ruanruan looked at least ten pounds thinner than the last time he saw her.

However, it is not easy to lose ten pounds in one month. After all, she is not a fat person. It is definitely not easy for a non-fat person to lose ten pounds.

In addition, her face was very white, and seeing her weak and graceful appearance, the person in charge believed it instantly.

She is definitely not the Bai Ruanruan that I saw last time. The one last time must have been her cousin in disguise!

He immediately said, “So that’s how it is. Your cousin is so mean. She knew you were in poor health but she still signed you up to go to the countryside, and she even stole your letter of introduction and clothes. She is not a good person.”

Bai Ruanruan sighed and said, “It’s not my cousin’s fault, it’s mainly because of my cousin’s fiancé, he seemed to be… my cousin misunderstood me. In fact, I don’t like her fiancé’s type at all. It’s also thanks to my cousin that I married my current husband, who is a soldier.”

“Oh, it’s a good marriage that happened by chance.” The person in charge said, took out the notebook for recording information, wrote “married” behind Bai Ruanruan’s name, and said, “Don’t cry, little girl, go home, and take good care of your health.”

“Yeah!” Bai Ruanruan nodded quickly: “Thank you comrade, I will go back first then.”

After she left, the person in charge immediately started gossiping with the colleague who had just taken over:

“Do you still remember the pretty girl I told you about last time, the one who volunteered to go to the countryside to build the countryside?”

“Remember, what’s wrong?”

“Oh, that girl is so miserable! She has an unreliable cousin! The cousin’s fiancé fell in love with the girl, and the cousin was jealous. She happened to look like the girl, so she stole the girl’s letter of introduction and clothes, and pretended to be her to sign up for going to the countryside.”

“Ah? There is such a thing???”

“Yeah, I was shocked. If the girl hadn’t been obviously thinner than her cousin and looked weaker when she came just now, I would have thought she was lying. After a closer look, I found that she was a little different from the last time we met.”

“Her cousin is really not a good person. The girl is in poor health. She spoke softly just now and said that she gets sick every winter. With her small body, if she goes to the countryside, she will probably fall ill and stay in bed all winter. Her cousin is a cruel person. She treats her cousin like this for an unreliable man.”

“Oh my God! Who is her cousin? How could she be so mean!”

“I think his name is something like…Gu Zhenxi?”

“Eh? The name you mentioned… sounds familiar? I think I’ve heard it somewhere…”

“Ah? Think about it, maybe it’s someone you know. Oh my God, if you know someone like this, you have to be careful and be on guard. People like this are very cunning!”

Only after removing her name from the list of educated youth sent to the countryside did Bai Ruanruan feel at ease and prepare to go home.

She was in a good mood, but she didn’t expect to meet someone she didn’t want to see on the way home.

It was Gu Zhenxi who came out to buy groceries.

She was holding a basket filled with vegetables. It was obvious that the Gu family was in financial difficulty recently.

She wanted to pretend that she didn’t see Gu Zhenxi and just leave.

“Ruanruan, why are you here?” Gu Zhenxi took the initiative to greet her, his eyes falling on the marriage certificate in Bai Ruanruan’s hand. Thinking that this place was near the Youth League Office, he immediately understood the purpose of Bai Ruanruan’s visit.

It seems that she has already registered her marriage with the old man, so she brought the marriage certificate with her today to avoid going to the countryside.

Gu Zhenxi couldn’t help but recall the scene he saw that day, Bai Ruanruan walking together with a tall and straight man.

She only saw the man’s back, but she felt that he definitely did not look like he was 35-40 years old.

During this period of time, she had been thinking in her heart, could it be that she was wrong, and Bai Ruanruan’s fiancé was not that old after all?

But I also feel that it is impossible. If the other party is so young and promising, why would he rush into marrying Bai Ruanruan?

I happened to meet her today and asked her for some information!

Bai Ruanruan gave a perfunctory smile and said, “Cousin, what a coincidence.”

“Yeah, Ruanruan, the last time I went out, I saw a girl who looked a lot like you. There was a man about 1.85 meters tall with her. It seemed like the two of them were walking on the street. Was it you and your husband?”

“Yes.” Bai Ruanruan responded, not wanting to say anything more to her, and said, “I have something else to do, so I have to go home first.”

Having said that, she hurried away.

The way she left in a hurry made Gu Zhenxi certain that the man that day was definitely not Bai Ruanruan’s husband!

Otherwise, why would she leave in such a hurry when I asked her?

This is nothing but guilty conscience!

Gu Zhenxi raised her lips in triumph, “On the day of your wedding, I will definitely expose your true colors and make you embarrassed!”
