Chapter 45: Is divorce also about love these days?
The person on duty at the Civil Affairs Bureau is a woman in her forties. She has short, neat hair and looks at Gu Wanxing with sharp eyes, then takes the materials from her hand.
"Are you anxious?"
The woman asked casually while checking the marriage certificate and flipping through the household registration book.
Gu Wanxing was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting to be asked this question.
However, she quickly regained her composure and nodded anxiously.
"It's urgent, comrade, please do your best to help me."
"Go to the police station to get a temporary household registration certificate, and then come back." The woman did not return all the documents, but looked directly at Zhao Chengyan.
Zhao Chengyan was a little confused at first and just stood there stupidly.
Although he changed his clothes, they were very bulky because Zhao Chengfang's man was fatter than him, making him look like a fool.
"Comrade Zhao Chengyan, go to the police station and get a temporary household registration certificate. Then come back and tell her to wait here."
Seeing that he had no reaction, the short-haired woman directly called out his name in a stronger tone.
Zhao Chengyan suddenly realized what it meant.
"Oh, okay, I'll go right away."
"Hey~ bring your brigade's certificate."
The woman hurriedly handed over the certificate issued by the brigade.
"Okay, okay." Zhao Chengyan nodded and took the certificate with both hands, then hurried downstairs.
At that time, ordinary people had a natural fear of people working in government agencies. In fact, this lady was just an ordinary clerk, but this job brought her not only a salary, but also an enviable status.
Working in an office is very popular these days, not to mention that it is a stable job and you are paid by the government, so naturally you will feel arrogant.
It is this pride that makes her exude a sense of majesty that cannot be ignored, so people who come to register for marriage or divorce respect her very much.
I’m afraid that they might be unhappy and refuse to process my application.
The short-haired sister looked at Gu Wanxing's information carefully again.
The sound of picking up papers seemed particularly loud in this empty office.
Hearing this, Gu Wanxing became very nervous, fearing that she would say: There are not enough materials, come back after you have everything prepared.
So my heart was almost in my throat.
After a long moment, the short-haired woman raised her head and looked at Gu Wanxing: "Why do you want a divorce?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Wanxing immediately told his situation truthfully.
"Does that mean the man is cheating on his wife?" The short-haired woman looked Gu Wanxing up and down and asked coldly.
"Yeah." Gu Wanxing nodded.
"That child is less than three years old. What do you want to do with him?"
"The man won't give it to me, but I will visit the child regularly."
Gu Wanxing gave a bitter smile at the right moment, lowered his head slightly, looking helpless and pitiful.
"There's still time. Think it over carefully. If you get divorced, the child will fall into the hands of a stepmother. Can you bear to let the child suffer with a stepmother?"
Gu Wanxing understood that although this elder sister looked cold, she was actually a warm-hearted person and wanted to persuade her not to divorce.
How can that be possible?
"Sister, you may not understand the situation. The child lives with the grandmother, and I have nowhere to go after the divorce. I haven't even found a place to stay yet. Not to mention that the man doesn't agree to give me the child, I don't even have a place to live..."
Gu Wanxing's eyes were full of self-blame, and her whole body showed helplessness, which made people unconsciously want to sympathize with her.
Seeing this, the short-haired sister also felt uncomfortable. Lesbians are the vulnerable group in this society. Once they get married, their parents' home is no longer their home.
After the divorce, it's more like a rootless duckweed, with nowhere to settle.
"Then you can't divorce me. If the man makes a mistake, you'll be kicked out of the house? Are you kidding me?"
"Sister, I just want to stay away from that scumbag. Really, if I continue to see that woman coming to my house so often, I will die soon."
Gu Wanxing had to spend a lot of time to persuade this enthusiastic elder sister to stop trying to reconcile.
Zhao Chengyan's case went smoothly as well. The police station was very close to here. He took the certificate stamped by the brigade and the police station directly issued him a household registration booklet, as the household registration department was only separated from the office handling the case by a door.
Everyone knew his family's situation, so with the certification of two police officers, they directly gave him the replacement. It also took a little time to take a photo of his ID card, but he had to wait a week to get the ID card.
He explained the situation, and the police officer from the household registration department issued him a temporary identity certificate.
It proves that he lost his ID card and is in the process of applying for a new one.
Time passed minute by minute, and just when Gu Wanxing was getting anxious and was about to go downstairs to check, Zhao Chengyan finally came back.
Zhao Chengyan breathlessly handed the brand new household registration booklet in his hand to the older sister at work.
Gu Wanxing looked at the brand new royal blue household registration booklet, and the corners of his mouth twitched. No wonder it took so long. It turned out that he had to process the household registration booklet.
"Comrade, look, this is your ID, and this is your household registration..."
The older sister took the things he handed over one by one and glared at him unhappily.
Although this guy is not bad looking, he is not as pretty as this young wife. I am really curious about what the woman who destroyed other people's marriage looks like. She must be more beautiful than the Queen of the Kingdom of Women in Journey to the West, right?
She silently complained as she quickly checked all the materials and documents again. Then she looked up at Gu Wanxing again and asked seriously, "I'll ask you again, have you really decided?"
Zhao Chengyan hesitated a little, and just as he was about to speak, Gu Wanxing pushed him behind him.
She quickly stepped forward and nodded repeatedly: "Sister, we have decided. Please handle it. Thank you."
Zhao Chengyan hesitated and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
He wanted to say that it was okay not to divorce, but the woman in front of him was obsessed with divorce. If she really reported Gou Zi and the others, then he would have no chance at all.
So now I just follow her.
At this moment, in Zhao Chengyan's heart, as long as the child is there, the two of them are a family whether they are married or divorced.
When she calms down, they will definitely remarry, and then he will definitely scold her harshly.
Thinking this way, I didn't feel so awkward anymore.
Bang—bang—
Along with the sound of the short-haired woman's heavy stamp, two freshly issued divorce certificates came out.
This divorce certificate is actually similar to the marriage certificate. Both are single-page papers as big as two A4 papers. The marriage certificate looks like a certificate, while the divorce certificate is a bit monotonous without the red decoration on top. However, Gu Wanxing feels that this is not important. What matters is that she is really divorced.
"Give."
"Thank you, thank you." Gu Wanxing was very excited and kept bowing to express his gratitude. He even got red in the eyes with excitement when he received the divorce certificate.
Zhao Chengyan's face was terribly dark. Although he knew that they would remarry in the future, he was still heartbroken by Gu Wanxing's appearance at this moment.
"Are you satisfied now?"
His voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
The pair of fox eyes that looked at dogs affectionately finally became gloomy at this moment.
Gu Wanxing didn't even look at him. After thanking him again, she grabbed a handful of shrimp crisps from her bag and placed them on the short-haired woman's desk.
Generally, couples who come to register their marriage will give loose candies to the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Fruit hard candies that cost a few cents are mixed with a few pieces of slightly more expensive hard candies with fillings. This is the good stuff.
Gu Wanxing's handful of golden shrimp cakes was quite substantial, leaving the elder sister stunned.
After everyone left, she finally reacted, turned her head to look at the empty doorway, and muttered to herself, "Does divorce also involve candy these days?"
I counted them and there were eleven pieces in total. The candy was not light in weight. Eleven pieces of candy probably weighed half a pound.
That's several dollars. This candy is so expensive, even more expensive than White Rabbit. This spendthrift woman, I'm afraid she wants a divorce because her husband can't support her.
