Chapter 33 Human Traffickers



Jiang's parents were upset by Song Shuyao's attitude, and finally decided not to hold a grand celebration. They decided to just invite relatives and friends for a meal and not organize any other activities.

"I don't know why his temper has become like this. He doesn't even want to host a banquet."

Jiang's mother's muttering made Song Shuyao more determined to get married quickly, get a marriage certificate and move out. Otherwise, the longer they lived together, the more likely Jiang's mother would discover that she had "changed her personality".

The wedding was scheduled for mid-June. Because they were in such a hurry, Jiang's parents didn't prepare much. The usual supplies included a table, wardrobe, quilt, enamel basin, and kettle. Hao Yuanchao prepared the bed himself. The Jiang family also wanted a bicycle as a dowry, but Song Shuyao refused. Instead, Hao Yuanchao's betrothal gift included a sewing machine, which the Jiang family kept. None of the other couples accepted it.

All these things were temporarily moved to the house that Hao Yuanchao rented near the school. Hao Yuanchao was still a military officer in training and was here as a student. He only had a dormitory to live in, a double room, and he lived with an old comrade-in-arms. Naturally, it was impossible for Song Shuyao to live in the dormitory if she wanted to marry him.

The rented house is not bad. It is a bit small, but it has a bedroom, kitchen, living room, bathroom and balcony. The rent is five yuan a month, and water and electricity are not included. The most important thing is that the environment is good. The housing management office reserves the houses here for military academy students or teachers who have not yet been allocated houses. Ordinary people cannot live there, which ensures safety to a large extent.

Song Shuyao had seen the housing conditions in the tube-shaped building, so she had nothing to complain about this small house. There was no way she could be picky, as this was the current condition.

Hao Yuanchao asked his old roommate Zhan Hongjun to help clean the house in advance. After the eldest and second brothers of the Jiang family moved in the tables, wardrobes and other dowries, the house was almost ready to live in. Hao Yuanchao was not very satisfied with it, but he felt happy when he thought that Song Shuyao was going to move in, and he looked at the house with a little more joy.

Song Shuyao moved in after the banquet.

It was called a banquet, but in fact it was just a simple invitation to close friends and relatives to come over for a meal. Because everything was kept simple, there was no need for a wedding banquet, and the dowry had been moved in early, so there was nothing to do. So in the morning, Song Shuyao changed into new clothes and went out to get a marriage certificate with Hao Yuanchao.

Song Shuyao was a beauty in her previous life. In this life, Jiang Shuyao looks the same as her, but even younger. However, Jiang Shuyao's temperament is youthful, sweet, and smart, while Song Shuyao is only 28 years old and has been traveling around all year round. She is a bit more aloof, and even her smile makes people feel that she is not easy to approach. She can be admired from a distance, but not touched. Most people will have this feeling when they see Song Shuyao. The longer she takes over this body, the more obvious Song Shuyao's temperament will be. Therefore, Song Shuyao dare not stay at home any longer, otherwise it will be easy for people close to her to notice something unusual.

Liang Li's appearance has not changed either, his facial features are tough and handsome. He is also a soldier, has been on the battlefield and killed people, so his temperament is similar. However, Hao Yuanchao was born in a humble family and joined the army at the age of fifteen or sixteen, while Liang Li's parents are both soldiers. He is an orphan of martyrs and grew up in a military family compound. He has no dandy habits, but the arrogance and self-confidence in his bones are beyond Hao Yuanchao's reach. His brows reveal the kind of calmness that comes with being at ease and accustomed to it.

When these two people walk together, one in a black suit and the other in a green military uniform, one petite and the other tall, they are definitely eye-catching.

The staff member who was processing the marriage certificate was also delighted when he saw the couple. The slight drowsiness from not getting enough sleep disappeared instantly, and his voice became much brighter.

"Do you want to register your marriage?"

"yes."

"They look like a perfect match," the staff member said as he looked over the documents, not falling behind in his work progress. After all the information was correct, he asked according to the regulations, "Is this a consensual relationship?"

"Yes." Liang Li did not hesitate, his eyes fell on Song Shuyao, the joy in his eyes was mixed with a hint of nervousness, and his mind inexplicably flashed through the strange news he had seen in his previous life, such as brides regretting getting their marriage certificates, running away with others during the wedding, etc. Then he retreated at Song Shuyao's "yes" and felt at ease.

What he finally got was a thin "certificate". Liang Li couldn't put it down and took a look at it before keeping it for himself, putting it carefully in his pocket. "I'll take it." Otherwise, what if Song Shuyao lost it?

Song Shuyao didn't care about him, but since they had obtained the marriage certificate, they had officially settled down in this era. From now on, there would be no Song Shuyao of the 21st century, but Jiang Shuyao of the 1960s.

"After dinner, tell Mom and Dad about the job change."

Song Shuyao's excuse for getting married early in order to catch up with the start of work was false. In fact, she didn't want to work here at all. Working here meant frequent contact with the Jiang family. She had to hide in order not to be exposed, and there was no way she could rush to get on. If she gave up the job assignment at this juncture, she would only have jobs in some poor areas to choose from. Not to mention that the wages in those places were low and the treatment was poor, she was a girl with no roots and no foundation. If she went to those places, she would probably be bullied. After all, there is a saying that "poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people". The more remote and poor and backward the area, the more lawless it is. When the special period comes in three or four years, she will not be able to stop the evil spirits, so the graduation assignment did not change much.

But her job couldn't be changed, but Hao Yuanchao's could. Hao Yuanchao had decided to stay here as an instructor for Jiang Shuyao. Now that she didn't want to stay, there was no need to fight for her job. She could just go back to the army after further studies. Of course, if she said she didn't want to stay at the school to teach and wanted to go back to the army, the Jiang family would definitely make a fuss. After all, it was already agreed.

Jiang Shuyao was not afraid of any commotion, because she would have to leave anyway. However, things took a turn for the worse. Two days ago, Hao Yuanchao's superior revealed that he would be transferred to the Zhicheng Military Region as a division commander. Military orders are like mountains, and one must obey the transfer order. Hao Yuanchao had a legitimate reason, as it was a military order and a promotion, which was not within his calculations, so he could leave openly.

As for wanting Hao Yuanchao to retire? That was just a spur-of-the-moment remark, not a genuine dissatisfaction with soldiers. In fact, Hao Yuanchao was extremely handsome in uniform. In his previous life, Jiang Shuyao would have been stunned by him in uniform. It was just that Hao Yuanchao broke up with her in the army for his comrades, and died in this world during a mission, which made her feel a little angry.

But in the current situation, staying in the army is actually the best option for Hao Yuanchao. It's not because of his high military rank, but because in the 1960s and 1970s, military status was a natural umbrella of protection. No matter how chaotic the outside world was, it was difficult for people to reach out to the army. The safest place was the army. Moreover, the domestic situation was relatively stable. Jiang Shuyao had not heard of any major war in the past ten years. If there was a war, Hao Yuanchao would not easily go to the front line even if he had a higher position. If he really couldn't do it, he would still have the safety of the mountains and forests in case of life-threatening situations. If he really wanted to be afraid of death, how could there be any absolutely safe job in this world? Therefore, Jiang Shuyao did not really want Hao Yuanchao to change his career.

When Hao Yuanchao heard what Jiang Shuyao said, he shook his head and said, "Don't be impatient, let's talk about it in two days." If he said it now, he would probably be beaten to death by the Jiang family.
