"My wife?"
Lin Ce was about to cry.
Having lived for twenty years, I never imagined I would have a wife.
It is now 2046. In this era, because there is no war, more and more people are materialistic, women are stronger than men, and women have become the backbone of society.
This makes it very difficult for men to get married.
The birth rate also continued to decline. The population entered negative growth.
The country has already allowed four children per family, but it's not making much of a difference; nobody wants to have them.
Take this alley for example, we haven't heard a child crying for several years.
The nearby nursing home is doing quite well; its beds are full all year round.
All this is to say that getting married in this era is not an easy thing.
Rich people, of course, have no problem finding wives and having children easily.
However, the gap between the rich and the poor is widening, which means that the probability of poor people having children is extremely low.
Especially for someone like Lin Ce, whose family background is very poor, finding a wife in this lifetime is already a blessing, let alone having children.
In fact, throughout the thousands of years of history of the Great Xia Dynasty, the vast majority of poor people were eliminated, and only the rich were able to leave descendants.
If you look through your family tree, you'll find that every family has a few prominent and influential ancestors.
It is already very difficult for anyone to be born into this world and become a human being.
Lin Ce understood this principle well, so he always lived with neither arrogance nor servility. As for marriage, someone of his background would never even dare to think about it.
But today, this woman—no, this pretty lady—actually said she was his wife.
Oh my god!
Am I dreaming?
Lin Ce pinched his cheek.
hiss!
Ouch!
"You, you really want to be my wife?" Lin Ce asked.
Lu Xueqing frowned. "What, you don't want to?"
"No, no, no, I, I..."
"What?"
Lin Ce blushed and held back for a long time, then, like a deflated balloon, he spread his hands and said, "You see, I'm just a nobody. This era is the era of AI, and what's needed are highly skilled talents. Someone like me is destined to never get ahead. I can only do odd jobs, and my life is predictable. I'm not some kind of high-potential stock! You're so beautiful, you'll regret marrying me!"
Lu Xueqing blinked, "You really have so little confidence in yourself!"
"No, I'm telling the truth. In this era, the upward mobility channels are completely blocked, unlike decades ago when people like me had no chance!"
Head bowed, dejected.
I'm so sad and heartbroken!
This is a typical characteristic and common problem among contemporary young people.
Because this is a consensus among everyone.
Even in my teens, I was already very clear-headed.
Unlike in the past, when there were food delivery services and courier services available, those are no longer the case. Even these tasks have been handed over to artificial intelligence.
Lu Xueqing was aware of the technological advancements of recent years, and while she acknowledged some issues, she understood that these were natural developments of the times and that the immortals like herself would not interfere.
When Lin Ce said these things, Lu Xueqing didn't take them seriously.
Because in any era, there will always be people who stand out.
Even without a good background, one can still shine brightly.
Of course, these people are a very small minority.
But it is precisely because it is difficult that success is so precious!
This highlights his greatness and extraordinary nature.
Because these are essential qualities for the chosen ones.
If everything is prepared and the best conditions are provided, then that person is certainly not the chosen one.
A person who benefits from the status quo will not develop a resilient and independent personality without going through a process of hard struggle.
"When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it will first test their will, strain their muscles and bones, starve their body, and thwart their endeavors!"
Don't be discouraged, I have faith in you!
Lu Xueqing patted Lin Ce on the shoulder one last time.
No, I can't call him Lin Ce anymore, because my wife has changed his name to Lin Yu.
Because he was originally Lin Yu!
Lin Yu's eyes were filled with tears. He couldn't understand why he was so lucky and why God was so kind to him.
He gave himself such a wonderful wife!
They don't mind being poor or having a bad background!
She wants to marry me unconditionally and even encourages others!
She loves me so much!
Mom, I cried!
"That's good. Wipe your tears and come with me to the Civil Affairs Bureau. We'll get our marriage certificate!"
"Um, are we going now?"
"Yes, don't you want to?"
"No, no, no, of course I'd love to!"
Lin Yu pinched his cheeks again to make sure he wasn't dreaming, and was overjoyed.
"Um, well, I still don't know your name!"
"Me? My name is Lu Xueqing!"
"Xueqing, what a beautiful name!"
"Call me wife!"
"Wife!"
Be confident!
"Wife!"
"Hey, honey!"
Lu Xueqing excitedly took his arm.
Feeling the warmth and softness from his arm, Lin Yu felt as if his heart had melted.
A moment later, the two arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Register at the registry office.
The staff member glanced at the two people's identification documents and looked suspicious.
"Lu Xueqing, born in 1991, is already over fifty years old?"
The staff looked surprised.
It's impossible not to be surprised.
