"Okay, okay, don't be so willful in the future. They won't pursue it, but they'll definitely still be unhappy and hold a grudge! We can think of another way to make up for it. They were already unhappy because you hit them, and you went up to them and forced them to forgive you, which only made them resentful."
Fang Guiyan gently patted Fang Guilan's shoulder, comforting her, saying that she was still angry, so she shouldn't be aggressive.
It's too late to regret it now.
Fang Guilan looked at her sister and nodded.
"Have you thought it through? Liu Dahai is quite different from what you imagined, but he is also a very simple person. He said that if he can accept it, we can go to register our marriage on Monday. He also agreed to the application over the phone beforehand, and it has already been submitted."
Fang Guiyan was initially puzzled as to why Fang Guilan agreed so quickly; it turned out that the wrong photos had been sent.
"Sister, I talked to Liu Dahai that day. He said I could marry him first, and if it really doesn't work out, he would agree to a divorce later."
Fang Guilan was shocked when she heard this.
"After spending two days with him, he seems quite honest and kind. I have no other choice but to get married first and live our lives together." Fang Guilan resigned herself to her fate; she simply didn't want to go back to that place.
Those men were a hundred times uglier than Liu Dahai. She would have been better off marrying Liu Dahai; his monthly salary was enough for Fang Guilan's annual salary in the countryside.
“I won’t just think about divorce. Marriage is definitely about building a life together. I want him to help me get out of danger, and he wants me because of my good figure or my appearance. I don’t care anymore. As long as he treats me well, I will live a good life with him.”
Fang Guilan had resigned herself to her fate. After two days of reflection, there was nothing she couldn't accept.
It's better than going back to that place.
She recalled being harassed when she was getting the certificate. If she hadn't been smart enough to say that the person she was dealing with was a soldier, she would have been bullied by them long ago.
It was this identity that protected her.
Everyone respects soldiers; in everyone's eyes, they are a source of honor.
Fang Guilan knew very well that if she went back, her fate would be dire.
Fang Guiyan knew about her sister's plight, and she felt sorry for her, but she was powerless to change her fate.
Back at the family compound, after dinner, Zhang Dali discussed Xia Xiaoli's surgery with Xiang Shulan.
When Xiang Shulan heard that the surgery would cost more than 500 yuan, she agreed without hesitation.
Xia Xiaoli felt a lump in her throat, and she forced back her tears, bowing her head in silence.
What does 500 yuan mean? My cousin is the only one in my family who has a job.
I feel bad about spending all of it on her.
Xiang Shulan comforted her, telling her not to be too upset.
If we agree to have the surgery, then I'm afraid I'll lose my job.
Xia Xiaoli and Xiang Shulan came to Shen Qiaoyue's house.
"Qiaoyue, are you home?"
Hearing Xiang Shulan's voice, Lu He came out first and replied, "Sister-in-law Shulan, my sister-in-law and brother went to the front to help Commander An Lude tidy up the house. Is there anything you need?"
As Lu He spoke, he noticed Xia Xiaoli standing next to Xiang Shulan.
She was so beautiful that Lu He couldn't help but take a few more glances.
In this residential compound, besides my sister-in-law being the prettiest, Xia Xiaoli is definitely the most beautiful.
"Qiaoyue isn't here. We'll come over later." Xiang Shulan remembered that An Lude was indeed having his wedding banquet tomorrow, so it was only natural to go and help out now.
Lu He then invited, "Why don't you come in and sit for a bit? I'll probably be back in a little while."
"No need, we'll come back tomorrow." Xiang Shulan pulled Xia Xiaoli away.
"Alright, Sister-in-law Shulan, please take your time," Lu He said.
"Yes, we will." Xiang Shulan replied, and went home with Xia Xiaoli. On the way, she did not forget to comfort Xia Xiaoli, saying, "Xiaoli, when your leg is healed, we will take the exam again when the factory recruits next year. As long as your leg is healed, everything will be alright."
Xiang Shulan was worried that Xia Xiaoli would be upset, so she couldn't help but comfort her again.
Xia Xiaoli said, "Sister-in-law, I will."
At An Lude's house, several men were assembling a new bed, cabinets, wardrobes, and moving all the furniture inside.
Shen Qiaoyue was simply lively.
"Your room looks much better after the renovation. It looks much bigger than mine!" Shen Qiaoyue was envious. An Lude and Jiang Jinyao's aesthetic sense was definitely on point.
Jiang Jinyao was munching on an apple. Knowing that Shen Qiaoyue didn't like hard fruit, she washed a pear for Shen Qiaoyue and even peeled it.
"Of course, this is my and An Lude's home, so of course it needs to be renovated properly, otherwise it won't be comfortable to live in." Jiang Jinyao pursues a certain material life, and this house is one she needs to live in for a long time. Changing it to her liking is the best way to make it look good.
Shen Qiaoyue nodded in agreement.
She took the fruit that Jiang Jinyao had washed for her and said with a smile, "Thank you!"
The two women munched on fruit, watching the man do his work.
Liu Xinlan and Xu Qianli came back from the cafeteria after their meal and walked in to take a look.
"This house is really nice!" Liu Xinlan exclaimed repeatedly. "This must be the best house I've ever seen that an entire family has renovated."
When Xu Qianli came in, he saw several men helping with the work.
Without saying a word, I joined immediately.
“That’s right. Back then, we just did some haphazard repairs. Everything was too rushed! Yao Yao is so good at managing things. The house is so nicely renovated, and it’s so much more comfortable to live in now.” Shen Qiaoyue couldn’t help but sigh again. “Such girly decor! There are newspapers pasted on the walls, and even some drawings!”
