Chapter 306 Kicked Out

Jiang Donghua didn't want to get married, but given the current situation and Song Wanying's expression, he knew he couldn't remain silent: "Auntie, I'm willing to marry Xiaoyue. We're in a free-love relationship."

Song Wanying's face remained gloomy: "Free love? Don't you know that the whole compound knows about you two? Couldn't you... couldn't you have told us first and done all this after you got married?"

"Where do you think we're supposed to put our faces?"

Jiang Zhenhua remained calm and patted Song Wanying's hand, saying, "Forget it, don't be angry. Things are already like this, even if you beat them up, it won't solve anything."

Then he looked at Jiang Donghua and said, "I think Comrade Jiang is quite reliable. He's a college graduate, so he'll definitely have a bright future. He's a good match for our Xiaoyue."

Upon hearing Jiang Zhenhua's affirmation, Jiang Donghua's attitude became even more respectful: "Uncle, don't worry, I will treat Xiaoyue well after we get married, and I will also take care of you both together."

"I promise to be available whenever there is work to be done at home."

Jiang Zhenhua didn't speak, but picked up his teacup again and took a small sip, lowering his eyes to suppress the coldness in them.

When he put down his teacup and looked up again, a kind smile was on his face: "Very good, I think you are a good kid. If you two are really together, go get a letter of introduction and then get your marriage certificate."

Sun Xiaoyue frowned: "Dad, we can't be so hasty, just getting a marriage certificate?"

She wanted Jiang Zhenhua to hold a wedding for her in the compound's canteen, where everyone could have some wedding candy.

That way, at least everyone in the compound will know that someone important is coming to support her, which will make her look good.

The main reason was to let Jiang Zhizhi see that she and Jiang Donghua were still married!

Jiang Zhenhua frowned: "If you two don't get a marriage certificate today, and if she gets pregnant, it won't look good if it gets out at school. As for the wedding, we can talk about that later. Let's get the marriage certificate first."

Sun Xiaoyue thought about it and agreed. She turned to look at Jiang Donghua and asked, "Donghua, what do you think?"

Jiang Donghua was terrified by Jiang Zhenhua's words that it would be bad if it got back to the school. He quickly nodded and said, "Okay, I'll apply as soon as I get back to school."

Sun Xiaoyue was overjoyed that her marriage went so smoothly, and her heart was pounding with excitement. She smiled exaggeratedly.

...

Within a few days, everyone at the school knew that Jiang Donghua had just arrived in Beijing and was about to marry Sun Xiaoyue, who had been lovers when they were sent-down youth.

Because Jiang Zhenhua helped pull strings, the school readily approved Jiang Donghua's marriage application.

Ge Qinghua was shocked and leaned on the table, whispering to Jiang Zhizhi, "How did they get married? Didn't they say before that they were just revolutionary friends helping each other?"

Jiang Zhizhi chuckled: "Husbands and wives can also build a revolutionary friendship."

Ge Qinghua was still shocked: "How could they get married so suddenly? But I feel that Jiang Donghua isn't very happy, he doesn't seem to be happy at all like a groom."

Jiang Zhizhi wondered, "Does Jiang Donghua think he's happy? He's probably regretting it terribly right now."

Jiang Zhenhua's requirement was that the young couple could not live at the wife's parents' home after marriage.

Jiang Donghua can live in the school dormitory, but Sun Xiaoyue has nowhere to live and is currently living in the compound.

Jiang Donghua needs to find a solution to this problem quickly, after all, Sun Xiaoyue is now his wife.

She can't get married but still lives at her parents' house; people will laugh at her.

Jiang Zhenhua also said that they were marrying off their daughter, not recruiting a son-in-law, so Jiang Donghua had to find a way to solve the housing problem.

Jiang Donghua is just studying in Beijing, so the school certainly won't allocate housing. How could he possibly find a place to live? If Jiang Zhenhua had said this before the wedding, he definitely would have considered it and wouldn't have gotten a marriage certificate with Sun Xiaoyue.

But he said that after they got their marriage certificate, and now he can't ignore it even if he doesn't want to, since Sun Xiaoyue is now his wife.

If word gets out, how will he ever be able to face anyone at school again?

At noon, Sun Xiaoyue came to deliver lunch, standing confidently at the classroom door with the lunchbox in hand, calling out, "Donghua, I've brought you lunch."

get out of class had just ended, and many students were still copying notes in the classroom, not having had time to eat. Upon hearing the noise, they all turned around at once.

Jiang Donghua felt a little embarrassed. Before he could get up, Sun Xiaoyue had already come in and greeted the classmates she knew.

When she passed by Cheng Feng, with whom she had previously been ambiguous, she pretended not to see him and walked up to Jiang Donghua with a smile: "I made braised pork, and I also put dried green beans in it. It smells so good. It's still hot right now, so hurry up and eat it."

As they were talking, Jiang Donghua's deskmate consciously moved aside, and Sun Xiaoyue took the opportunity to sit down, opened her lunchbox and pushed it in front of Jiang Donghua: "Eat it while it's hot, I also brought you some steamed buns."

As he spoke, he took out chopsticks from his satchel, then took out a steamed bun wrapped in oil paper and stuffed it into Jiang Donghua's hand.

Jiang Donghua hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Don't bring me food to school anymore. I can eat at the school cafeteria."

The aroma of braised pork filled the classroom, and some students kept turning around to look.

Jiang Zhizhi could only pretend not to hear or see, and left the classroom with Ge Qinghua, carrying her lunchbox.

Sun Xiaoyue stared at Jiang Zhizhi's retreating figure until she could no longer see her, then turned to Jiang Donghua and asked, "My dad asked me when I'm moving out..."

Jiang Donghua suddenly felt that even braised pork tasted bland: "Where am I supposed to find a place to live? I'm just a student. Your place is so big, what's wrong with me staying here for now? Once I get a job and a place to live, I'll naturally move out."

Sun Xiaoyue was a little embarrassed: "In my father's hometown, there is indeed this custom that married daughters cannot live at their parents' home, so... Besides, we are already married, and we can't not see each other every day, can we?"

Jiang Donghua silently took a big bite of his steamed bun, but he was extremely agitated.

Sun Xiaoyue had her own ideas: "Could I find a job at school? I saw that the school cafeteria is looking for helpers, which includes meals and pays ten yuan a month."

"If I work in the cafeteria, will that solve my accommodation problem?"

Jiang Donghua frowned, put down his chopsticks, and glared at Sun Xiaoyue: "The canteen help is also to solve the employment problem of faculty and staff family members. It's not something just anyone can do. Besides, the Jiang family doesn't have any other children. What's wrong with staying there temporarily?"

Sun Xiaoyue bit her lower lip, looking aggrieved. She didn't know why Jiang Zhenhua was so resolute this time. Even Song Wanying was on Jiang Zhenhua's side this time, and didn't speak up for her at all.

Jiang Donghua remained silent for a long time. He thought that marriage could change his impoverished life and allow him to live in a big house.

After getting married, it felt like there was a shackle around his neck, suffocating him and making it hard to breathe.

He couldn't help but clench his fist, then turned to Sun Xiaoyue and said, "Let's talk to Mom and Dad again tonight, or we'll have no choice but to get a divorce..."
