Old Master Huo was also a soldier, so he naturally understood the rules of the army.
His son has had it too easy. Since joining the army, he has made outstanding contributions and risen through the ranks, from squad leader to battalion commander. Now he seems to be getting a little arrogant.
"Aren't you the organizer? If you agree, that's all that matters."
Huo Beian looked at him with a half-smile.
Old Master Huo was speechless. What he said was true. He had been in the army for so many years and was considered a leader, no less.
You need his approval to apply for marriage.
I disagree.
He couldn't risk his son's future. He wouldn't approve the application either.
"If you don't agree, then your son will have to stay single forever."
Huo Beian was not afraid at all.
Suddenly, all around fell silent.
Jiang Feifei looked extremely upset. She felt she shouldn't stay any longer, so she immediately got up and hurriedly left.
"Excuse me, I have to go now."
No one tried to stop her, after all, no one had expected this sudden accident.
It was Li Yun who broke the silence first.
"Bei'an, this is all so sudden. You're getting married without even telling me. And your family background isn't good either. How can I possibly agree to this?"
"You didn't even tell me when you gave birth to me."
Upon hearing his son's words, Old Master Huo picked up a feather duster from the side and was about to raise his hand.
"You little brat, you think you've got guts now, huh! I'll beat you to death!"
Huo Beian put down his chopsticks, pointed to his head, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Come on, hit me here, hit me hard."
Grandma Huo quickly stepped forward to dissuade them, "Oh dear, why are you two arguing? In my opinion, it's a good thing that your eldest grandson is willing to resolve his personal issues."
“You can’t just marry any woman you find. Jiang Feifei is so great. She has impeccable family background. If you marry her, Bei’an won’t have to worry about anything in the army.”
Huo Zhengang sighed helplessly.
Jiang Feifei has been so embarrassed today, who knows what she'll say to Old Jiang when she gets back.
Old Jiang holds a higher position than him; I wonder if he'll be targeted.
That brat... he has absolutely no sense of propriety...
"Since Jiang Feifei is so wonderful, why don't you marry her?"
Huo Beian suddenly blurted out this sentence.
"What are you saying... You're driving me crazy." Huo Zhengang was speechless. He clutched his chest, sat on the sofa angrily, and said to Li Yun, "Look at the good son you raised."
Seeing Huo Beian and Old Master Huo at odds, Huo Nanquan and Wang Xiaofang exchanged a smile.
Huo Nanquan quickly stepped forward and patted Huo Zhengang's back, "Dad, don't be angry. My brother didn't mean anything by it."
Huo Zhengang finally calmed down, "Look at you, you're not even as sensible as your brother!"
Hearing this, Wang Xiaofang felt a little smug and quickly stepped forward to bring Huo Zhengang a glass of water. "Dad, don't be angry with my older brother. He hasn't dated anyone in the army all these years. It's not uncommon for him to be a little impulsive when he finally finds someone he likes."
Huo Zhengang took a sip of water, still not calmed down, "If Bei'an could marry a sensible daughter-in-law like you, I wouldn't be so angry."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaofang immediately gave Huo Nanquan a smug wink.
Huo Nanquan was frail and sickly from a young age. Instead of joining the army, he was recommended to go to university and was the only college student in his family. However, Huo Zhengang valued military skills over academics and always favored Huo Bei'an, since both father and son had served in the army.
Ever since she married into the family, she had always heard Huo Zhengang praising Huo Bei'an; this was the first time she had ever seen the father and son have a conflict.
Hearing that Huo Beian's chosen woman was actually a capitalist's daughter, he immediately felt that his opportunity had arrived.
Moreover, she is already pregnant. If she gives birth to the eldest grandson, Huo Nanquan's position will be secure, and Huo Beian, although the eldest son, will have no chance to compete for the position.
Huo Beian could naturally see what his second son and his wife were up to, but at the moment, he didn't have time to pay attention to their little schemes. He just wanted to get his family to give in so he could marry Song Ning.
As for the rest, whatever.
Grandma Huo came over with a smile and advised, "Forced relationships are never sweet. Why not just go with Bei'an's decision? Who can predict what will happen in the future? I don't think it will have much impact on Bei'an's future."
Huo Zhengang thought it made sense, but he felt that his son was losing out by not marrying Lao Jiang's daughter. However, he couldn't resist his son's insistence, so he sighed and said, "Alright. It's up to you."
"Thank you, Dad. I'll submit the marriage application today, go to her house tomorrow to give her the betrothal gifts, and get the marriage certificate tomorrow afternoon."
Huo Beian was overjoyed to see that his father had finally relented.
...
The next morning, Song Ning went to the household registration hall.
With the severance certificate that Song Daqiang had given me that day, I went to transfer my household registration out.
I saw that my name now had its own household registration book.
Song Ning was overjoyed.
As a result, he had only taken two steps out the door when he ran into Zhao Liang.
Zhao Liang was Song Ning's high school classmate. Song Ning was the school beauty, and Zhao Liang had always liked her. He pursued her relentlessly during school, always following her around like a little follower.
However, the original owner of this body, Song Ning, looked down on Zhao Liang's family background and rejected his confession.
Zhao Liang was an uneducated and good-for-nothing street urchin. He dropped out of high school before finishing and drifted into the underworld.
He saw Song Ning and gave her a wicked smile. "Song Ning. I heard you're going to the countryside soon."
Song Ning ignored him. "Yeah. But it doesn't seem to be any of your business, does it?"
He was about to leave after saying that.
Zhao Liang stopped her. "Song Ning, if you don't want to go to the countryside, beg me, and I can help you."
"Oh? How do you want to help?" Song Ning raised an eyebrow at him. She was curious to see what this guy had to say.
"Beg me to marry you. Don't worry. I don't need a large dowry, just have your dad give me 20,000 yuan."
"Heh. You're dreaming."
Song Ning ignored him and left. If it weren't for the fact that they were classmates, she would have given him a good beating.
Zhao Liang yelled loudly from behind, furious, "Song Ning, you'll regret it sooner or later when you go to the countryside. Don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"
Song Ning shook her head, thinking, "How could there be such an idiot?"
What a terrible thing to do.
On the other side.
Song Xue went to the textile factory to report for work, received her work badge, and went home overjoyed.
Lin Xiuzhi was overjoyed to see that her daughter had finally found a job and no longer had to go to the countryside.
Song Daqiang was also very happy, and he handed her two meat tickets.
"Today is a good day, why don't we celebrate? Xiuzhi, go buy some fish, a chicken, and some vegetables."
"Okay."
Lin Xiuzhi immediately grabbed her shopping basket and went out to buy groceries, humming a song as she went, looking incredibly pleased with herself.
