In the current situation, Li Yuzhu can't even sneak back to her parents' home. She has searched the house many times when her mother was not home, turning the whole house upside down, but she still couldn't find the household registration book.

It's likely that the household registration book wasn't kept at home. Her mother guarded against her like a thief in the house, and would never let her find it. With a mother like that, it would be difficult to remarry after a divorce.

In this day and age, without an ID card, you can't get married without a household registration book when remarrying.

How can she get a marriage certificate if her mother won't give her the household registration booklet? She really regrets listening to her mother and transferring her household registration back. She'll fight back to the end.

What's the use of regretting it now? The initiative isn't in her own hands, it's in her mother's hands. There's no way she'll remarry Dongqing unless her mother agrees.

Dong Sanmei said, "I really didn't know any of this. Why did you listen to your mother so much back then? She told you to move your household registration back home, so you did."

Li Yuzhu said, "Didn't I not think of that at the time?"

Her mother has completely ensnared her this time; without a household registration certificate, how can they remarry? She can only wait.

Only then did she truly understand the meaning of that saying: experience is the best teacher. Her mother had forced her to move her household registration back because she was afraid that she and Dong Qing would remarry. It was clear that she was still too young.

Dong Sanmei comforted her, saying, "It's no use regretting it now. There's always a way out. We can only take it one step at a time. It's getting late, go to sleep. I should go back to sleep too."

After Dong Sanmei finished speaking, she stood up, walked out of the house, and closed the door behind her.

Li Yuzhu returned to her bedroom, lay down on the bed, and casually turned off the light, plunging the bedroom into darkness.

She turned to look out the window, where moonlight streamed into the bedroom like liquid silver, casting delicate light and shadow on the dressing mirror.

The moonlight, filtering through the swaying shadows of the trees outside the window, seemed to awaken the silence of the entire room.

The outline of the room was faintly visible in the swaying shade of the trees, and the leaves outside the window rustled softly in the breeze, sounding so jarring in the quiet night that it sent a chill down one's spine.

In her fear, Li Yuzhu picked up a towel and covered her face. She seemed unable to look directly at the night. She didn't know why she was reacting this way; she was just terrified, her heart pounding with fear.

In fact, these reactions are all psychological manifestations of her own mind, a psychological reaction stemming from long-term suppression by her mother. This psychological reaction is more terrifying than a ghost, eroding her soul every moment.

The moment she covered herself with the towel, everything went dark. This darkness gradually calmed her panic, and she drifted off to sleep.

Li Yuzhu returned to her parents' home, but her mother wasn't there. Only her son was playing in the room. Her son stood up from the floor, ran towards her, hugged her legs, and cried, "Mommy!"

Li Yuzhu picked her son up from the ground, kissed his little face, and asked, "Son, where did your grandma go?"

The son said, "I don't know!"

Li Yuzhu put her son on the ground, said "You can play by yourself," and turned to walk into her mother's room.

She went into her mother's room to look for the household registration book, but after searching for a long time, she couldn't find it. She accidentally knocked over a picture frame hanging on the wall, and it fell to the ground. Suddenly, she saw the household registration book in the broken glass of the picture frame. It turned out that her mother had hidden the household registration book behind the picture frame. It would be strange if she could find it anywhere else.

She bent down to pick up the household registration book from the ground, went to the outer room, picked up her son from the ground, ran to the yard, got on the motorcycle, held her son in her arms on the footrest, started the motorcycle and drove out of the house towards the city.

Strangely enough, there wasn't a single pedestrian or vehicle on the road today. It was as if the entire road was just for her. She twisted the throttle of her motorcycle to the floor, and the motorcycle seemed to fly. She could only feel the wind rushing past her ears, and the shadows of the trees on both sides of the road seemed to be rushing past her.

She and Dongqing walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau with their son in their arms. They took out their household registration books, and the staff issued them a marriage certificate.

Li Yuzhu stroked the marriage certificate in her hand and said, "Honey, let's go home."

Li Yuzhu heard no response; only staff members sat in front of her. When she turned around, her husband and son were nowhere to be seen.

She searched for a long time at the Civil Affairs Bureau but couldn't find her husband and son. In despair, she sat on the ground and cried loudly.

She woke up from her dream in tears; it was just a dream.

She reached up and removed the towel from her face; tears were still streaming down her cheeks.

She wiped the tears from her face with a towel, lay quietly on the bed, and recalled the dream she had just had. Only then did she truly realize that she was unwilling to accept the loneliness after the divorce, and that Dongqing was the only person in her heart.

Unable to fall asleep again, she got up, left the house, locked the door behind her, took out her key, opened Dong Qing's door, and turned on the living room light at the doorway.

At this time, Dongqing and her third sister were fast asleep, so how could she possibly disturb them?

Feeling scared and not wanting to go back, I turned off the lights and lay down on the living room sofa to sleep, falling asleep without realizing it.

She didn't know how long she had been asleep when she suddenly felt something startle her awake. Opening her half-closed eyes, she saw that the living room light was on, and Dong Qing was standing beside her, covering her with a blanket.

When Dong Qing saw that Li Yuzhu was awake, he asked, "Why are you sleeping here? Is the sofa comfortable?"

"I don't know why, but I'm really scared to sleep alone at home. I came to your house in the middle of the night and didn't want to disturb your sleep, so I had no choice but to sleep here."

Li Yuzhu appeared strong, but it was only at this moment that she truly realized how fragile her inner world was after the divorce.

Upon hearing this, Dong Qing felt a pang of helplessness and heartache. He could now understand the loneliness in Li Yuzhu's heart, a loneliness born of helplessness and fear in the face of darkness. Only those who have experienced it can truly understand how terrifying this loneliness is.

Li Yuzhu sat up and leaned weakly against the sofa. The sheet that had just been put on her slipped off her body. Her eyes were empty, as if the whole world had abandoned her, leaving her only with loneliness and helplessness.

"Yuzhu, did you have a nightmare?"

Dong Qing couldn't think of any other reason. Li Yuzhu was an adult, and if she didn't have nightmares, she wouldn't be afraid sleeping alone at home.

Li Yuzhu nodded in agreement, and it was not hard to see the fear and unease in her eyes.

Upon seeing this, Dong Qing felt a pang of pain in his heart. He knelt down, took her hand, and said, "Yu Zhu, don't be afraid, I'm here with you."

Li Yuzhu suddenly threw herself into her ex-husband's arms, crying, "Dongqing, I'm really scared. What should I do?"

Li Yuzhu is currently facing pressure from her mother to get married, and she doesn't know how she will deal with the next time her mother forces her to go on blind dates.

She felt like a small boat adrift on a boundless ocean, filled with confusion and helplessness. She didn't know which way to go, or when her little boat would safely reach the shore.

Her heart was like a giant wave pushed by the ocean, sometimes surging, sometimes calm. She faced the impact of the giant wave, but could never escape it.
