Chapter 1 Only a Fool Would Want a Divorce
"signature!"
Song Yunqing slammed the divorce application form on the paint-chipped camphorwood table, shaking the entire table.
There were tea stains on the edge of the yellowed paper, and the tip of the pen was poking at the three black printed words "Applicant".
"Song Yunqing! This is a military marriage!"
Xiao Jinchuan stood three steps away, his face tense in the flickering light of the kerosene lamp.
"Military marriage?"
Song Yunqing suddenly laughed, grabbed the enamel pot on the table and smashed it to the ground.
With a loud "clang", the jar with the red words "Serve the People" printed on it bounced several times on the concrete floor, rolled to the door and hit the door frame before stopping.
"I wasn't the one you were engaged to originally. I was just thrust in to make up the numbers."
"If you have the guts, ask Song Yunyi to marry you. It's because she looks down on you, a peasant."
"My cousin said that the owner of Jinghua Department Store can buy me an imported TV."
Song Yunqing's face was full of sarcasm: "You can't even afford this even with three years' worth of salary!"
Xiao Jinchuan's eyelids twitched violently: "Is this the reason you want to divorce me?"
"So what? Can you buy me some candy? Can you buy me a nice dress? If not, then divorce me right away. I've had enough of this hard life!"
“Okay, okay!”
Xiao Jinchuan's cheeks puffed up with anger. Just as he picked up the pen to sign, he saw Song Yunqing coming over excitedly. Unexpectedly, he stepped on the water cup and hit his head straight against the corner of the table.
The darkness was overwhelming.
......
"You're just a waste of money. The child I raised for so long is someone else's, and I can't even get my own child back!"
"Yunqing, the boss of Jinghua Department Store can take you to Hong Kong..."
"Yunqing, Daddy has found a good marriage for you."
Countless voices were fighting in his head. Song Yunqing suddenly opened his eyes and tasted rust on his tongue.
"I agree to a divorce. You don't have to hurt yourself like this."
The cold male voice was like a basin of ice water poured on Song Yunqing's head. She opened her eyes suddenly and the scene around her was so unfamiliar.
The People's Daily was posted on the mottled wall, and steam was still coming out of several enamel pots on the table.
The man in front of him had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and an aura of majesty without even being angry.
What happened? Wasn’t she staying up late to do experiments? How come she is here as soon as she opened her eyes?
"Who are you and what's the divorce?"
Xiao Jinchuan looked at him coldly, his eyes filled with disappointment: "You actually went so far as to pretend to be crazy and stupid just to get a divorce."
Song Yunqing's temples were throbbing, and a large number of memories that did not belong to him suddenly flooded into his mind.
She actually traveled into a book, and into the period novel she had read last night, and became the troublemaking wife of the supporting male character Xiao Jinchuan.
In the original novel, the original owner was the lost real daughter of the Song family, but because she was stranded outside, she was raised very poorly. Even after she was found, she was not welcomed and was teased by the fake daughter all day long.
It happened that at this time the original owner's father remembered the joke marriage contract with the Xiao family, and immediately decided to let Song Yunqing marry Xiao Jinchuan instead of the fake daughter Song Yunyi.
The original owner despised Xiao Jinchuan for being a poor soldier, and when he compared him with the Song family who wore gold and silver, ate the finest foreign food, and lived in a magnificent house, he felt extremely unbalanced.
Not only did she keep clamoring for a divorce, but she also forced Xiao Jinchuan's parents to return to their hometown. The two poor elderly people in their fifties were unable to enjoy the joy of family life and had to stay in the countryside for the sake of their son's happiness.
Later, fortunately, he was appreciated by his leader and was allowed to go to the island for training, and his position was promoted again and again.
Unfortunately, the original owner was a fool. He only thought about the bad life on the island, the exposure to wind and sun, and the lack of comfort in the courtyard. He refused to join the army and ended up being deserted by everyone.
Later, Xiao Jinchuan's position rose steadily and he became a rear admiral. His ex-wife, who was just a cannon fodder, regretted it so much that she chased him and asked for a reconciliation.
But at this time the heroine of the book has already appeared, and Xiao Jinchuan is determined to be nice to the heroine.
Finally, after the original owner framed the heroine, Xiao Jinchuan could no longer bear it and attacked her.
Her existence is to prove how much the male lead loves the female lead, but the female lead eventually chooses the male lead, and he lives out his life alone.
Xiao Jinchuan placed his slender fingers on a document, his voice as cold as if coming from an icy cave: "I've signed it, you sign it."
Song Yunqing looked down and the five big words "Divorce Agreement" stung her eyes.
She doesn't want to end up like that. Even if Xiao Jinchuan has to go through fire and water for the heroine, she still wants to maximize her benefits.
What's more, Xiao Jinchuan is powerful and influential. If he can establish a good relationship with him, he can get a lot of things even if they divorce.
"I......"
Just as Song Yunqing was about to speak, there was a sudden commotion outside the door.
A woman with curly hair rushed in, holding a net bag with a few apples in it.
"Ouch, what happened?"
The woman's eyes rolled around: "Yunqing, Boss Zhang is still waiting, what are you doing..."
Song Yunqing's mind buzzed. The enchanting woman in front of him was the original owner's cousin, Wang Xiulan, who had been urging the original owner to divorce in the original novel.
In fact, it was just to curry favor with the Song family.
Most of the time, it was Wang Xiulan's idea that brought the original owner and Xiao Jinchuan to this point.
She first tried to sow discord between the original owner and Xiao Jinchuan, saying that the boss of Jinghua Department Store had taken a fancy to her, and that as long as she was willing to divorce, she could become a rich person.
He will also give her an imported TV as a betrothal gift.
There are as many beautiful skirts as you want.
Song Yunqing had long been fed up with her life of eating coarse grains and vegetables. When she heard about this good news, she immediately came back and made a scene, smashing the house to pieces. She even threatened Xiao Jinchuan with a pair of scissors, saying that if he didn't divorce her, she would die in front of him.
Only then did Xiao Jinchuan finally agree to divorce.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jinchuan's eyes instantly turned cold. His bony hands clenched the divorce agreement, and the blue veins on the back of his hands were clearly visible.
"You can't even wait a few days? We've only been married two months and you're already hooking up with someone else?"
Before Song Yunqing could say anything, Wang Xiulan said with a sweet smile: "What are you talking about? People tend to go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. You yourself are not motivated, your family is poor, and you don't allow our Yunqing to work hard."
"Besides, the boss of Jinghua Department Store is deeply in love with Yunqing. Don't stop Yunqing from living a better life."
Seeing that Xiao Jinchuan's face was becoming increasingly ugly, Song Yunqing made a prompt decision and snatched the divorce agreement. In front of the two people's shocked eyes, with a "swish" sound, the paper was torn in half.
Song Yunqing was not satisfied yet, so she quickly tore it into pieces, and the pieces fell to the ground like snowflakes.
"Song Yunqing!"
Wang Xiulan screamed, "Are you crazy? That's the divorce agreement you've been dreaming of!"
"cousin!"
Song Yunqing interrupted her, her voice even colder than expected: "My family affairs, don't bother with you!"
Wang Xiulan's face suddenly turned ugly, as if she had swallowed a fly alive.
She looked at Song Yunqing in disbelief, then at Xiao Jinchuan who was in shock, and finally her gaze fell on the fragments on the ground.
"You've been making such a fuss for so many days, isn't it just for a divorce? Did you get struck by lightning and become stupid?"
Xiao Jinchuan came back to his senses, his deep eyes narrowed slightly, and his military boots made a dull sound as they stepped on the ground.
"What are you up to?"
His voice was light, but it carried an oppressive feeling that could not be ignored.
Song Yunqing looked up at him, her wet eyes blinking as she spoke word by word, "Xiao Jinchuan, I won't divorce you."
The room was eerily quiet. Wang Xiulan gasped. Xiao Jinchuan's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly.
"I'm going to Xingyong Island soon. If you want to spend the rest of your life with him, this is your last chance."
Song Yunqing's eyes warmed up. After all, although the original owner and Xiao Jinchuan had no feelings for each other, they had been married for two months. Xiao Jinchuan was a kind man and had done his best for the original owner.
The environment on Xingyong Island is extreme, with typhoons occurring from time to time, and the island can only survive by relying on supply ships that arrive once a month.
The original owner couldn't even accept his current life, let alone life on the island.
She reached out and tugged at the corner of Xiao Jinchuan's clothes, her voice soft and sticky.
"I am your wife, I will go wherever you go."
Xiao Jinchuan pulled out the corner of his clothes, his face cold and indifferent: "If you want me to let my guard down, there is no need. Our marriage has come to an end. I will set you free."
But she doesn't want freedom. With such thick thighs here, it would be a waste not to hug them.
"I will change, you believe me, okay?"
Song Yunqing's voice was unusually soft, which surprised Xiao Jinchuan. She had never spoken so nicely since she married him.
Either he is like a firecracker that will light up at the slightest touch, or he is sarcastic and weird.
She disliked the earthy smell of the water, the lack of meat in the meals at home, and the fact that he couldn't buy the coffee that city dwellers loved to drink.
He knew that his family was not well off, but he still found ways to make delicious food for her.
But after so long, I still haven't been able to warm her heart.
That's why people will ask for divorce at the slightest provocation.
He even caused chaos in the entire family compound, caused a lot of trouble, and made himself disliked by everyone.
Before Xiao Jinchuan could speak, Wang Xiulan screamed as if she had seen a ghost.
"That's not what you told me before. You said you'd had enough of this kind of life. Boss Zhang didn't even mind you being married. Are you going to go back on your word now?"
Wang Xiulan cried and wailed, wishing they would divorce immediately.
Only in this way can I explain to Boss Zhang and put the remaining money in my pocket.
"In my opinion, you should divorce quickly and don't let anyone else get in the way!"
Xiao Jinchuan's expression, which had just relaxed a little, immediately turned cold.
Yes, his wife has long dreamed of becoming rich, so how could she suddenly change her mind and be willing to endure hardships with him?
This is all just acting.
"I'll prepare another divorce agreement."
Song Yunqing felt a little headache. Why was it so difficult to regain trust?
Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door, and a communicator ran in sweating profusely: "Captain Xiao, the commander asked you to come over. It's urgent."
