Chapter 106 Loyalty to One's Lover
Jiang Zhizhi really liked the wedding ceremony at this time; it was simple yet full of passion.
In particular, the speech by the officiant, Deputy Commander Wang, was as follows: "I am delighted that our marriage is today, a perfect match, may we grow old together in happiness and harmony! Today, in the name of the revolution, we become husband and wife, closely linking our destinies with victory, remaining loyal to our country, our families, and each other..."
Jiang Zhizhi stood casually next to Zhou Xiye, smiling as she looked at the guests below the stage.
Upon hearing the words "loyalty to the motherland" and "loyalty to the family," the little boy immediately stood up straight, his expression serious and his gaze firm.
Zhou Xiye was surprised by Jiang Zhizhi's performance, as if it were a conditioned reflex ingrained in her bones.
After the simple ceremony, Zhou Xiye and Jiang Zhizhi distributed wedding candies, peanuts, melon seeds, and cigarettes to everyone.
Finally, they sat down at a table with Fang Hua, Jiang Zhenhua, Li Zhiguo and his wife, and Xiao Minglei, and had a simple meal of food from the cafeteria.
At the dinner table, Jiang Zhenhua thanked Fang Hua once again.
Fang Hua was still bothered by Song Wanying's absence from the wedding and refused to accept Jiang Zhenhua's apology, even stating bluntly, "I can understand why she didn't come, after all, Zhizhi isn't her biological daughter."
Jiang Zhenhua paused for a moment, his expression awkward: "We've known each other for so many years, and you know that Wan Ying can be quite stubborn at times, and she tends to get stuck on things."
Fang Hua tried her best to control her emotions and said in a calm tone: "It's fine to be stubborn at any time, but at this moment, it's obvious that she's not giving face to our Zhou family. You should go back and give her some advice."
Jiang Zhenhua nodded repeatedly: "Sister-in-law is right. I'll talk to her properly when we get back."
Fang Hua felt Zhou Xiye's frequent glances at him, pursed his lips, and remained silent.
After the meal, everyone went about their own business, and there was no talk of making a ruckus in the bridal chamber.
Zhou Xiye and Xiao Minglei stayed behind to help clean up the trash on the ground, while Jiang Zhizhi accompanied Jiang Zhenhua to the guesthouse first.
Seeing this, Fang Hua decided to stay and help her son clean.
On the way back to the guesthouse, Jiang Zhenhua kept saying, "Xi Ye is such a good kid. He specially asked Ming Lei to pick us up. Now that you're married, just live a good life together."
Jiang Zhizhi nodded: "Yes."
Jiang Zhenhua was silent for a while: "You're only nineteen. Have you thought about going to university after you get married? You can ask Zhou Xiye to help you get a place in university. It's always good for girls to study more. You didn't like studying before, and you also happened to be born during a period of change. You didn't get to study properly."
"Now that you're married and your life is relatively stable, you should go back to school and get a good job in the future, which will be the foundation for your livelihood for the rest of your life."
Jiang Zhizhi felt that this father was really insightful and genuinely cared about his daughter, but she was a little confused: "I'll think about it, Dad. Why didn't you let Xiaoyue go to university?"
Jiang Zhenhua sighed: "She's different from you. Although you weren't good at studying, you at least went to junior high school, while she never went to school for a single day. Now that she's older, she has no interest in studying."
He waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, she has her own ideas, so let's just leave her be. I just hope she doesn't become too stubborn and go astray."
He was well aware of everything Sun Xiaoyue had done over the past year, but he had never said anything about it. He just felt a little guilty towards his biological daughter.
...
Jiang Zhizhi returned to her room and took a quick shower while the hot water in the guesthouse was still running. She then washed her clothes when she came back.
Fang Hua bought her red underwear, which she found unacceptable, so she simply stuffed it under her bag after thinking about it.
After finishing tidying up, I still didn't hear any movement from Zhou Xiye's room next door. It was already completely dark outside. Was he still not finished?
I took a nap this afternoon, but I can't fall asleep now. I'm pacing around the room with my hands behind my back, thinking about what Jiang Zhenhua said about going to university.
There are still four or five years before the college entrance examination is reinstated, so waiting for the exam is indeed a waste of time for her.
If Zhou Xiye can get me a recommendation letter to go to university, then I'll go to university in Yunnan.
This way, I could be close to Zhou Xiye and stay by his side during the year he had the accident.
To prevent accidents from happening.
After circling around a few more times, she suddenly felt a surge of excitement; she wanted to save Zhou Xiye.
I wanted to save everyone who died in that battle.
However, relying on herself would be a bit of a stretch, so we still need to think of a solution.
...
Bian Xiaoxiao grew angrier the more she thought about it. Back then, Fang Hua had told everyone that she was the ideal daughter-in-law in her mind.
But what was Fang Hua's attitude towards her today?
And then there's Jiang Zhizhi, whose tail is practically wagging in the air!
Unable to resist any longer, she found a driver at the hospital that very night, gave him a few food coupons, and took him to the countryside to find Sun Xiaoyue.
Sun Xiaoyue was surprised that Bian Xiaoxiao came to see her so late, and felt inexplicably guilty. After all, Bian Xiaoxiao had actually helped her get a recommendation letter for Liu Chunqin to go to university, while what she had given Bian Xiaoxiao were all fake news about Jiang Zhizhi.
Bian Xiaoxiao called Sun Xiaoyue out from the educated youth settlement and looked at her with a stern face: "You and Zhou Xiye are both from Xiangshan Compound. Don't you know that Jiang Zhizhi is Zhou Xiye's wife? Why didn't you say so earlier? You just told me that Jiang Zhizhi was seducing Zhou Xiye."
Sun Xiaoyue didn't expect to be exposed so quickly, and she was even more surprised that Bian Xiaoxiao, who seemed quite capable, couldn't even handle Jiang Zhizhi.
He quickly apologized: "No, Dr. Bian, please don't be angry. I do know Jiang Zhizhi, but this matter is a bit complicated, and I don't know how to tell you. I was afraid that if I told you the truth, you wouldn't believe me and would think that I couldn't tolerate her."
As she spoke, she quickly recounted her relationship with Jiang Zhizhi, including how Jiang Zhizhi attempted suicide and insisted on marrying Zhou Xiye.
Her eyes reddened as she finished speaking, and her voice choked with emotion: "I really don't know how to tell you this, after all, these are my family's dirty laundry. Jiang Zhizhi followed me here, creating a false identity to seduce Zhou Xiye, taking advantage of the fact that Zhou Xiye didn't know her."
"Zhou Xiye is attracted by her beauty, which is why he is willing to marry her."
Bian Xiaoxiao's face grew increasingly grim as she listened. She hadn't expected Jiang Zhizhi to be so scheming, even using the guise of a country girl to seduce Zhou Xiye.
Seeing that Bian Xiaoxiao remained silent, Sun Xiaoyue couldn't figure out what she was thinking, so she cautiously said, "Actually, there's something else about Jiang Zhizhi. If you can use this to your advantage, she'll definitely suffer a terrible fate."
Bian Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow: "What is it?"
Sun Xiaoyue looked around: "She once reported her teacher and even put up slogans on her teacher's door, telling the teacher to crawl out from underneath like a dog."
Bian Xiaoxiao was very dissatisfied: "What is this? It also proves that she has progressive ideas."
Sun Xiaoyue smiled mysteriously: "Don't be in such a hurry. Wait another year. If this gets out, Zhou Xiye will definitely divorce her."
Bian Xiaoxiao couldn't wait a year to see what would happen. She stared at Sun Xiaoyue and said, "I did something for you, now you have to do something for me..."
...
After Zhou Xiye and Xiao Minglei finished cleaning, they told Fang Hua to go back first, and then the two went to Xiao Minglei's office to discuss some things.
Before I knew it, it was two in the morning.
Xiao Minglei checked the time: "Alright, it's just this little thing, and you've already analyzed it for me three times. What? Are you dragging your feet and not wanting to go back to the bridal chamber?"
Zhou Xiye gave him a deep look.
Xiao Minglei laughed: "You know, although you are strategic in everything you do and careful in every step, I have to tell you that some things, once missed, will only lead to regret."
Zhou Xiye ignored him and got up to leave.
Xiao Minglei scoffed: "Old stubborn!"
Zhou Xiye paused at the door before pressing the handle and pushing the door open to go inside.
The room was filled with a sweet fragrance, and on the bed, a red blanket was billowing up, revealing a fair and delicate little face...
