Chapter 10 How come a girl only has this much stuff?

Jiang Ning was somewhat surprised; she thought that since Shen Mo had agreed, the divorce could proceed.

Yang Zhengtu spoke up before Shen Mo could, saying, "Sister-in-law, there's no major conflict between you two, so the political review won't approve your divorce."

"However, it seems that Brother Shen is about to be promoted to regimental commander, and divorce will affect his moral character evaluation."

Jiang Ning understood; she hadn't expected Shen Mo to be promoted to regimental commander at such a young age.

Those who ruin someone's future will not have a good death.

Seeing Jiang Ning fall silent, Shen Mo assumed she was unhappy, and after thinking for a moment, said, "I can argue with the higher-ups again..."

He was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

Jiang Ning also came to terms with it, "If we can't get a divorce, then we can't get a divorce. We can get a divorce later."

Shen Mo quickly swallowed back the words "fight for a divorce".

His wife was still his wife, Shen Mo looked at her intently.

They were all standing in front of the door, and could see at a glance the living conditions Jiang Ning had been in for the past few days.

The sunlight outside the window was plentiful, filtering through the dappled branches of the poplar trees and casting a warm glow into the room. One window was open, and a gentle breeze carried a delicate fragrance that wafted in and filled the nostrils.

Unlike the mixed masculine smell in the men's dormitory, it also confirms that men often like to say dirty jokes when they get together.

It is said that women smell nice.

Jiang Ning noticed that they were still standing in front of the door with no intention of leaving, and Shen Mo's gaze remained fixed on her.

Jiang Ning felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze. Why was this man staring at her like that?

Feeling embarrassed by his gaze, Jiang Ning had to admit that a man like Shen Mo could easily make someone's heart flutter.

People of this era prefer the refined intellectual type, but a muscular man brimming with masculine hormones is a rare find in today's world.

Most of them were consumed internally.

Jiang Ning looked at him and said, "How about we talk again?"

Since they can't get a divorce now, they really should talk again about how to live their lives in the future.

Shen Mo understood when he heard that he wanted to talk.

Perhaps Jiang Ning wanted to go home more. Reason told Shen Mo that he should respect her decision, but another voice in his heart told him that he couldn't let Jiang Ning leave.

Yang Zhengtu was still standing at the door.

Shen Mo glanced at him. "You can leave now."

Yang Zhengtu was used to listening to him and didn't feel like he was being kicked out. As he left, he sighed and muttered, "Sigh, he's forgotten his brothers now that he has a wife."

Now, only the two of them remained in this space.

Shen Mo was too taciturn, and Jiang Ning also felt awkward, since the two of them were strangers who had only known each other for two days.

They had thought they could get a smooth divorce and be free to roam the world, but now that they were still married, the atmosphere between them became awkward again.

Since they can't get a divorce, they have to continue living together for the time being, and they don't know if problems will arise in the future.

Jiang Ning stepped aside, "You come in first."

Shen Mo had rarely spent time alone with women, let alone in a woman's room alone with her. His mind told him that this was not good, but his body had already moved.

Jiang Ning closed the door from behind.

Shen Mo tried his best to ignore the faint fragrance in the air.

As soon as Jiang Ning closed the door, she sensed something was wrong. Why was she closing the door when they were just talking about something?

The delicate atmosphere was broken by Shen Mo's next words, "Do you want to go back to the village? I can take you to the train station."

Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, almost unable to react.

She came to our door without any prior notice, and Shen Mo hadn't seen her once in the three years since their marriage, clearly showing his impatience to see her.

Why are you in such a hurry to send her back when you can't get a divorce?

Jiang Ning pouted, clearly unhappy.

Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were wide open, and Shen Mo was completely bewildered by her stare, wondering which of his words he had said wrong.

I remembered what I had just said.

Doesn't she want to go back?

Jiang Ning plopped down on the bed in a huff, her voice dripping with resentment, "I'm not going back to the village, I'm staying to find a job."

There was only a bed in the room, not even a table or chair. Shen Mo didn't sit down next to Jiang Ning's bed, but just stood there not far away.

Shen Mo couldn't fathom what girls were thinking, but he was secretly pleased that Jiang Ning said she wasn't going back. "You don't want to go back? I've already applied for a family housing unit. Do you prefer an apartment building or a bungalow with a yard?"

Jiang Ning was still resentful when she heard him say that he had applied for a family compound. Did this mean he was going to kick her out?

So what I was doing just now was simply asking for her opinion, asking her if she wanted to go back to the village.

Recalling her tone just now, Jiang Ning felt embarrassed, her face turning bright red.

To cover up her embarrassment, Jiang Ning softened her tone and smiled brightly, replying, "Can we still choose?"

Hearing her gentle tone, Shen Mo felt as if his heart had been brushed by a feather. "Sure, you can stay wherever you want."

“I want to live in a bungalow with a yard.” Jiang Ning’s mood brightened after the storm, and she said excitedly, “I can pick a big tree in the yard to hang a swing, plant vegetables and flowers in the open space, and move a fish tank to a corner to raise some koi.”

Jiang Ning became happier and happier as she talked, her face beaming with smiles.

In the real world, she lived in an apartment building her whole life. The buildings looked magnificent and novel on the outside, towering into the clouds, but weren't they just like magnificent prisons, where she was trapped in a square place for her entire life?

Seeing the smile on her face as she thought about the future, a strange look flashed in Shen Mo's eyes.

She soon felt a little disappointed, as if she hadn't placed herself in the future she longed for.

Jiang Ning was just thinking about it; she and Shen Mo were going to divorce in the future, and this was just her own future.

After they had finished chatting, Shen Mo left.

For the next two days, Jiang Ning didn't see Shen Mo and didn't know what he was doing.

Even that little guy Huo Zhiqi hasn't come here again.

Shen Mo finally appeared on the third day. Jiang Ning opened the door and saw that he looked travel-worn and had a thin layer of sweat on his face.

Seeing Jiang Ning, Shen Mo said in a low, husky voice, "The application for the family compound has been approved. It's a bit messy, so I've tidied it up a bit these past two days. Do you want to go take a look now and buy some more things?"

Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment. She hadn't expected that Shen Mo had been dealing with matters related to the family compound these past two days.

She nodded. "Wait for me a moment."

Shen Mo nodded and stood outside the door waiting for her.

Jiang Ning tidied herself up quickly, changed her clothes, and realized she only had two sets of clothes to change into, which were all packed into a cloth bag.

Although she disliked her incredibly unfashionable clothes, there was nothing she could do about it.

Poverty can be deadly.

Pack some basic toiletries.

Shen Mo frowned slightly when he saw that she had only brought out so little. How could a girl have so little?

Before my family members were sent to the countryside, my younger sister had so many clothes that she couldn't wear them all. There was a slight bias in the family towards girls, and my parents always felt that it was okay for boys to suffer a little, while girls should be raised in luxury at home.

Shen Mo was raised with this kind of education and thought from a young age. Under this influence, he always felt that his daughters were born to enjoy a life of happiness.
