Upon hearing Zhao Xiuyun's question, Zhou Weijie paused, looking somewhat embarrassed.
However, he quickly recovered and explained to Zhao Xiuyun:
"Xiuyun, a few days ago, we had that incident with Erlaizi. Although my family didn't object to me being with you in front of the whole village, they all forced me to break up with you after I got home."
You're so important to me, how could I possibly break up with you?
I didn't want to, so my family got angry and kicked me out of the house, saying I could only go back when I realized my mistake..."
"..."
Hearing Zhou Weijie's words, Zhao Xiuyun was speechless: running away from home from home in a fit of pique for true love is something only rich kids can do, how could a poor country bumpkin like you know how to do that?
However, despite her inner disdain, Zhao Xiuyun was genuinely touched.
Her eyes filled with tears as she gazed longingly at Zhou Weijie, her voice choked with emotion.
"Brother Jie, I am not worthy of your love that you would give everything for."
No, you deserve it!
Before Zhao Xiuyun could finish speaking, Zhou Weijie retorted decisively: "Xiuyun, don't say such discouraging things. In my heart, Zhao Xiuyun, you are the most beautiful woman in the whole world."
As long as I can be with you, I'm not afraid of any hardship!
Upon hearing Zhou Weijie's words, Zhao Xiuyun couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly: You dog of a man, I'm with you just so I won't suffer!
You're not afraid of suffering any more!
I'm scared!
However, considering that Zhou Weijie was, after all, the youngest son of the Zhou family, and as the saying goes, "Emperors love their eldest sons, and farmers love their youngest sons," even though the brigade leader's family seemed heartless now, they would definitely call him back once they saw Zhou Weijie suffering outside.
Then, wouldn't I be able to go back and enjoy a life of luxury?
During this time, consider it as accompanying Zhou Weijie through some hardships outside, to deepen Zhou Weijie's feelings for her, so that when they return to the Zhou family, he will treat her a hundredfold or a thousandfold.
So, Zhao Xiuyun, her face full of emotion, nestled into Zhou Weijie's arms and sobbed softly, "Brother Jie, me too."
I'm willing to live any kind of life as long as I can be with you!
After saying that, she silently added in her heart: But it's best to live a good life!
Hearing Zhao Xiuyun's words, Zhou Weijie felt that all the hardships he had endured were worthwhile.
The severance agreement signed this morning for the sake of Zhao Xiuyun, Qin Chunhong, and Zhou Jianguo's family was worthwhile.
Since Zhou Jianguo's family doesn't think much of me and Xiuyun, we must make ourselves proud, live a good life, and make the Zhou family realize their mistakes.
The whole family is blind; none of them can see how good Xiuyun is.
"Xiuyun, let's go to the commune later and get our marriage certificate!"
After cuddling with Zhao Xiuyun for a while, Zhou Weijie spoke.
"Huh? What? A marriage certificate?"
Upon hearing Zhou Weijie's words, Zhao Xiuyun was so frightened that she raised her head and looked up at Zhou Weijie with a panicked and fearful expression.
Seeing Zhao Xiuyun's panicked appearance, Zhou Weijie's heart skipped a beat: Could it be that Qin Chunhong was right after all? Xiuyun just wanted to live with him without any official status, and then dump him as soon as she found a chance to return to the city?
"Xiuyun, you don't want to marry me, do you?"
That's what Zhao Xiuyun was thinking, but she couldn't admit that she still needed Zhou Weijie to make a living!
"No, Brother Jie, I've just never been married before and have no experience. I didn't know that in addition to having a wedding banquet, you also need to get a marriage certificate."
Zhao Xiuyun composed herself and cautiously probed, "But, Brother Jie, doesn't getting a marriage certificate require a certificate from the brigade leader?"
"If your family doesn't accept me, will they give us a certificate to get a marriage certificate?"
When Zhou Weijie heard that Zhao Xiuyun was willing to get a marriage certificate with him, the slight doubt he had just had vanished.
He smiled and pulled a piece of paper from his pocket, handing it to Zhao Xiuyun. This was a piece of paper that Qin Chunhong had specifically asked Zhou Jianguo to write for her that morning when she signed the marriage contract with the Zhou family.
"Don't worry, Xiuyun, I've already taken care of this. I definitely won't let you suffer any injustice!"
Upon seeing the certificate of consent to marriage, Zhao Xiuyun's face paled: "You'd better make me suffer..."
With all the proof in hand, Zhao Xiuyun panicked even more, stammering, "But, but, Brother Jie, I, I haven't received a reply from my family yet. If they find out that I'm getting a marriage certificate with you like this, they'll definitely be unhappy!"
Upon hearing Zhao Xiuyun's words, Zhou Weijie's face instantly turned cold, and his voice became icy: "Xiuyun, you're making up so many excuses, is it because you don't want to get a marriage certificate with me?"
That fierce and menacing look instantly reminded Zhao Xiuyun of the man who had abused her for decades in her past life, and she immediately cowered: "No, no, Brother Jie, I'm willing to get a marriage certificate with you!"
Seeing Zhao Xiuyun nodding vigorously, Zhou Weijie was much more satisfied. He pulled Zhao Xiuyun, who had just entered, and walked out, saying, "Okay, I checked the almanac. Today is an auspicious day. Let's go get our marriage certificate!"
Zhao Xiuyun wanted to say something, but the man's large hand was so strong that she didn't dare to speak.
Along the way, Zhao Xiuyun hinted that she didn't want to get the marriage certificate, but when she saw Zhou Weijie's angry face, she became too cowardly and obediently went along to get the certificate.
After receiving the gifts, Zhou Weijie took Zhao Xiuyun to the supply and marketing cooperative with great ceremony to buy two ounces of salt, one ounce of white sugar, one ounce of brown sugar, and half a pound of pork belly to celebrate their marriage.
Zhao Xiuyun's sadness vanished when she saw the sizzling pork belly. If a marriage certificate could buy her meat, she might as well get it.
Anyway, getting divorced in the future won't be a big deal.
Seeing that Zhao Xiuyun's mood had improved considerably after they got their marriage certificate, Zhou Weijie was even happier: This woman is really pretentious; she says no, but her body says otherwise.
They clearly want to get a marriage certificate with me, but they still make up a bunch of excuses.
Look how happy they are after getting their marriage certificate!
"Hey, you two are so inconsiderate! It's clearly a relationship between three people, and you didn't even invite me to get the marriage certificate!"
As the two approached the village entrance, they happened to run into Er Laizi, who was wandering back outside wearing straw sandals.
When Erlaizi saw the pork belly in Zhou Weijie's hand, his mouth watered. He quickly went over and said, "Let's go home and have a nice meal to celebrate!"
Upon seeing Erlaizi, the two men were instantly reminded of that unpleasant morning, and even though no one was around, their faces flushed involuntarily.
On the contrary, Er Laizi, completely unconcerned, stepped forward to take the pork belly from Zhou Weijie's hand, eager to take a bite right now.
Zhou Weijie dodged Er Laizi's hand, cursing under his breath: "Er Laizi, get the hell out of here! Xiuyun and I are already married. Xiuyun is now my wife, Zhou Weijie's wife. You can't harass her anymore, or I'll beat you to death..."
