He was used to all this, but he absolutely didn't want Cao Yue to suffer with him. So, he looked at his mother firmly and said, "Mom, I promise. I'll get 1,000 yuan for you as soon as possible. After the family splits up, I'll give you and Dad 10 yuan a month for retirement. But we need to get the village chief to notarize it."
Jiang's mother nodded in satisfaction at her son's words, a sly glint in her eyes. She knew her son was a filial son and would do everything in his power to meet her demands. Furthermore, with this money, the family's financial situation would be somewhat alleviated. "Okay, as long as the money is in place, I'll sign," Jiang's mother said.
Jiang Qi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Fortunately, he had prepared for this situation, otherwise he wouldn't have known how to handle it. Although his parents kept asking him for money, he didn't give away all his savings, but instead kept some for a rainy day. He secretly congratulated himself on his wise decision. At least now he could still shoulder the responsibility of the family and let Cao Yue live a relatively stable life.
Jiang Qi didn't withdraw the money immediately. Instead, he took Cao Yue, Liu Yanran, Cao Chong, and Cao Kun to the county town. He booked them rooms at a guesthouse there and told them he didn't want them to stay in that house full of leeches. From now on, his only family would be Cao Yue and their future child.
"Yueyue, from now on, you are the only family I have left." Jiang Qi lay on Cao Yue's thighs like a docile big dog, his eyes revealing his dependence and love for her.
Cao Yue gently stroked Jiang Qi's hair, soothing him, "Don't worry, we'll get better." Her voice was soft and warm, like a spring breeze blowing across the river, bringing a sense of peace and tranquility. Liu Yanran, watching this scene from the side, couldn't help but feel deeply moved. She had witnessed the hardships and difficulties Jiang Qi and Cao Yue had faced along the way, and she was also moved by the deep bond between them.
The next morning, sunlight shone through the window onto the bed. Jiang Qi got up early and after washing up, he decided to ask the village chief for help in getting a notarization.
The village chief was a highly respected elder in the village, and everyone respected him. When Jiang Qi found the village chief, he was basking in the sun in the yard. Seeing Jiang Qi coming, he warmly invited him to sit down and asked him why he came.
Jiang Qi told the village chief what happened yesterday and asked him to help make a notarization to prove that he had separated from his family. After listening to Jiang Qi's words, the village chief was silent for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Jiang Qi looked at the village chief with gratitude, then took out a thousand yuan he had prepared in advance and handed it to his mother, officially announcing his separation from his family. He felt a little complicated, but he knew it was a necessary step and the beginning of his new life.
Afterward, Jiang Qi prepared a banquet for several tables and invited relatives and friends familiar to the brigade. He hoped to announce to the villagers that Cao Yue was his wife and his future life partner. The banquet was filled with laughter and a warm atmosphere. Jiang Qi and Cao Yue toasted together, thanking everyone for coming and their blessings.
After the banquet, Jiang Qi and Cao Yue set off on their journey home. Hand in hand, they strolled along the village path, feeling the gentle breeze. At that moment, Jiang Qi's heart surged with anticipation and confidence for the future. He believed that as long as they worked together, they would be able to create a better life.
Jiang Qi looked back at the receding village and said silently, "Goodbye, hometown. I will take my dreams and my love with me and pursue a broader sky." He held Cao Yue's hand tightly and walked forward with a firm step. From now on, he would bid farewell to the past and embrace new challenges and opportunities.
