Chapter 426 No Marriage Certificate

When Gao Lili heard Qi Xu's words, her face suddenly turned pale.

She didn't have a marriage certificate, so she thought of crying publicly, hoping to put pressure on the army through public opinion and get the pension.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, he was grabbed by the throat and the enemy was defeated. He had no power to resist at all.

She couldn't produce her marriage certificate, so she could only continue to use her tears to gain sympathy.

She cried pitifully with a sobbing tone.

"Madam Chief. I don't have a marriage certificate."

"But I am indeed Mai Dong's legally married wife. We actually had a wedding banquet. If you don't believe me, go ask the villagers of Maijia Village in Qinghe Town. They can all testify to this."

"That year, after our wedding, we were preparing to get the marriage certificate and he had even registered the marriage. But unexpectedly, he received a notice from the army that he had to go on an emergency mission."

"Who knew that he would never come back and would be gone forever!"

When she said this, Gao Lili had already burst into tears. She looked so pretentious that Qi Xu couldn't help but applaud her acting skills.

Then, with a delicate and charming gesture, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes just in time and continued.

"He told me to wait for him and get the certificate when he comes back! But...but..."

"I waited for five years, but there was no news. It was only a while ago that I learned that he had died!"

"Although Mai Dong and I haven't obtained a marriage certificate, we are in a de facto marriage. I have been a widow for him for five years and have never changed my heart. Just ask yourself, how many five years of youth can a woman have?"

Gao Lili's crying was more beautiful than her singing. Her hypocritical behavior aroused the sympathy of many saints and saints.

Many people stood on her side and spoke up for her.

Qi Xu held his forehead, expressing his embarrassment.

"This situation is indeed difficult to handle. You are not a martyr's family member, but you are related to a martyr. You are a martyr's family member, but you don't have a marriage certificate."

"How should the pension for the martyr's girlfriend be distributed? What are the criteria? I'm really stumped!"

"Ms. Gao, it's not that I don't want to give you the money. I'm just worried that if this matter isn't handled properly, thousands of other inexplicably named girlfriends of martyrs will pop up in society and come to the army to ask for money. What should we do then?"

"Isn't that tarnishing the martyrs' innocence and endangering society?"

After Qi Xu made this point, the brainless masses and angry netizens who were infected by Gao Lili's emotions instantly regained their sanity.

It seems like I understand something.

"Perhaps this Miss Lily isn't really a martyr's family member. She's a scheming woman using the name of a martyr's family member to defraud people."

"That's right, the commander's wife is right. If you can't produce a marriage certificate, how can you be considered a martyr's family member? According to this, anyone can claim to be a martyr's girlfriend and come to the army to extort money under the name of a martyr's widow."

"This woman is using the reputation of a martyr to cause trouble. It's shameful. I've been a fan of her for months. I was really blind!"

…

When Gao Lili admitted that she did not have a marriage certificate, Qi Xu's way of addressing her changed immediately.

Calling a woman as vicious as her a military wife is an insult to the martyrs.

Earlier, Qi Xu said those words "sister-in-law" in order to stabilize the situation, suppressing his nausea.

Qi Xu's words were like a criminal's verdict, which made Gao Lili almost breathless.

She originally thought that she was just a foolish, rich, and easy-to-fool little girl. Who knew that her scheming and calculations were a thousand times stronger than hers?

After several rounds of fighting, she was pinned to the ground and crushed, and then she realized that the opponent was not a little white rabbit at all, but a hidden old fox.

Gao Lili stared at Qi Xu fiercely, almost biting the silver teeth between her red lips to pieces.

She had been forced into a corner and had no choice but to reveal her biggest trump card.

"Oh, what a wise and righteous wife of the chief. So, you're planning to force me to die by not paying me?"

"I, Gao Lili, didn't get married to Mai Dong in time, but we did have a wedding, and I even gave birth to a daughter for him. How can I not be considered a martyr's family member?"

“Even if I’m not a martyr’s family member, then our daughter is at least, right?”

"Just tell me, can our daughter inherit this pension?"

Gao Lili would not have planned to move her daughter out unless she was forced to do so. She did not like taking care of children, nor did she want a burden to share her property.

Besides, she has a boyfriend now. If she brings a little burden home, the man will definitely be angry.

But now, in order to get the money, she can only use her daughter's identity to collect it.

In fact, as early as the first time Qi Xu saw her, he guessed that she might be Jia Jia's biological mother.

If you look closely, you will find that Jia Jia does look somewhat like her.

Therefore, when Qi Xu was just in the army, he called Gu Yan and asked him to print out Gao Lili's investigation information and send it to him quickly.

At this time, Gu Yan was in the crowd, waiting for Qi Xu's instructions.

Qi Xu made a gesture of surrender, signaling him to be patient and to proceed step by step, slowly unraveling the mystery before he could completely tear off the disguise of this scheming woman and expose her ugly face to the public.

Qi Xu pretended to be ignorant and screamed in surprise.

"Oh! You have a daughter!"

"As long as the child is the martyr's own blood, she can certainly inherit her father's estate and receive her father's pension."

"Ms. Gao, why didn't you tell me earlier? Wouldn't this make things easier? I'll distribute the pension to the orphans of the martyrs right away."

Qi Xu picked up the bag of money again and waved it in front of Gao Lili and her daughter.

"Excuse me, Ms. Gao, when was your wedding to Deputy Battalion Commander Mai held?"

"And when was your daughter born?"

"What's your daughter's name? Do you have a birth certificate?"

This series of questions stumped Gao Lili again.

The wedding did take place, but she had long forgotten the date.

She did remember the child's date of birth, but for fear of affecting her future marriage, she never obtained a birth certificate for Jia Jia. She didn't want her wealthy ex-boyfriend to know that she had given birth.

As for the child's name, she couldn't even say it. She had given the child away just a few days after it was born. After that, she never cared about it again. How could she know the child's name?

Seeing that she didn't reply for a long time, Qi Xu kept urging her with a bright smile.

"Ms. Gao, why aren't you talking? Don't you remember?"

"Logically, your feelings for your husband are so deep, you should remember it clearly!"

"Also, what's your daughter's name? When is her birthday?"

"I'm giving you a pension, so I have to register it truthfully, right?"
