It was Zhao Chunmiao who knocked on the door, but it was Zhou Chang'an who instructed her to do so.
Zhou Chang'an became somewhat worried when he saw that Zhou Weiguang had been inside the house for a long time without coming out.
Although the two are getting married soon, they're not officially a couple yet. Besides, the father-in-law is sleeping on a cot outside; it would be embarrassing if something happened.
So he went to another room and called Zhao Chunmiao to come out and knock on the door.
After knocking for a long time, Zhou Weiguang slowly opened the door.
Zhou Chang'an glared at him, "You brat, get out of here so late!"
Zhao Chunmiao also said bluntly, "Yeah, you should go back to your dorm and go to sleep. There's no room for you here."
Zhou Weiguang glanced back at Qin Hanshu, who was shyly huddled in the corner, and recalled their intimacy just moments before, feeling extremely reluctant to part.
But there was nothing he could do; four eyes were watching him from outside.
Sigh, I guess I'll just have to bear with it a little longer.
In a few days, I'll be able to do whatever I want.
The next day, Zhou Weiguang led Qin Hanshu to the Revolutionary Committee to get their marriage certificate.
No photos are required for the marriage certificate. The certificate features a portrait of a great leader and his quotes, with the quotes written on one side of the inner pages and the information of both parties on the other.
The whole process was very simple, and Qin Hanshu completed it without even feeling anything.
As she exited the Revolutionary Committee gate, she glanced to the side and saw Zhou Weiguang holding the marriage certificate in his hand, taking it out to look at it every now and then, and then grinning foolishly.
Qin Hanshu was intrigued and said, "Let's find a place to eat and celebrate!"
Zhou Weiguang nodded, "Okay!"
Qin Hanshu thought that the restaurant Qin Feiyang took her to last time was pretty good, so she suggested going there.
"Have you prepared everything for the wedding banquet?" Qin Hanshu asked.
Their banquet was also held in the army canteen.
In fact, the canteens of various organizations are similar to restaurants outside, and some are even better. It is very common to hold weddings in the canteen.
Zhou Weiguang nodded: "We've invited a lot of guests this time, so we'll move to the garrison's main canteen. I've already made the necessary arrangements, so you don't need to worry about it."
Qin Hanshu nodded.
The dress she was to wear on her wedding day was prepared by Zhao Chunmiao back in her hometown.
She hasn't had much to do these past few days except tidy up the house.
While eating with Zhou Weiguang, we chatted casually, creating a relaxed and warm atmosphere.
Zhou Weiguang suddenly looked at her mouth and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Does it hurt a lot? It still looks swollen..."
Qin Hanshu realized what was happening, touched her mouth, and glared at him, saying, "You knew that too? Then why were you so rude yesterday!"
Zhou Weiguang hurriedly looked around and, finding no one paying attention to them, lowered his voice and continued, "I'm sorry, I'll be quieter next time!"
Qin Hanshu coughed lightly and said, "Why are you talking about this while we're eating? Be mindful of your behavior!"
Zhou Weiguang: "..."
Qin Hanshu glanced at him with a smile, about to say something, but her gaze was drawn to the figure at the dining table not far away.
The person with their back to her was Cao Jing.
Qin Hanshu tilted her head slightly and saw that the person sitting opposite Cao Jing was her stepsister, Li Lidan.
Qin Hanshu thought for a moment, then got up and went over to say hello, with Zhou Weiguang following behind.
Qin Hanshu was facing Li Lidan, so she saw Qin Hanshu as soon as she looked up.
Li Lidan's previously unpleasant expression brightened into a smile as she greeted, "Xiao Shu, you're eating here too?" Looking at Zhou Weiguang, she asked, "This must be your boyfriend, right? I heard you're getting married soon?"
Qin Hanshu smiled and said, "Yes, I saw you and my sister-in-law were here, so I came over to say hello. Sister Li, you must come and have a drink at my wedding!"
"Definitely, definitely!" Li Lidan smiled and readily agreed.
After exchanging a few words, Qin Hanshu and Zhou Weiguang returned to their seats.
Li Lidan looked at Cao Jing and frowned, saying, "Your sister-in-law is a nice person, why are you ignoring her?"
Cao Jing said impatiently, "Why are you bringing her up? We need to get down to business!"
Li Lidan's expression turned serious again. "I cannot agree to your request!"
Cao Jing retorted angrily, "Why? Didn't you say you loved me? Why won't you even help me with such a small favor?!"
Li Lidan suddenly became agitated, but then restrained herself and lowered her voice, saying, "Are you asking me for help? You're clearly encouraging your brother-in-law to commit a crime!"
Cao Jing hadn't visited Li Lidan for a long time, and Li Lidan understood; after all, they were newlyweds, and her heart was always with her husband.
But today Cao Jing suddenly came to her, asking her brother-in-law to help transport a batch of goods to the north, saying that someone would pick them up when they arrived, and her brother-in-law only needed to help transport them.
Li Lidan's husband is a train driver who travels all over the country year-round.
Li Lidan got a headache just thinking about it, and asked in a gentle tone, "Xiaojing, how did you suddenly learn to buy and sell? Where did you get your goods? Who led you down this path? Do you know that you'll go to jail if you get caught?!"
With a source of goods and a sales channel, it's clear that someone is leading Cao Jing astray.
Cao Jing refused to say.
The information she had all came from the original book, and the people she found were the big shots who later appeared in the book, so there were definitely no safety issues, and she could follow them with peace of mind.
Li Lidan patiently asked again, "Are you short of money? Doesn't Feiyang give you any household expenses?"
Cao Jing shook her head.
Qin Feiyang's salary is not low, and she doesn't lack anything; she just wants to prepare for the future.
Society is bound to change, and Qin Feiyang will eventually go into business. She should take advantage of the time when everyone is still working honestly and earning a salary to make her first pot of gold, so that she can help Qin Feiyang make things easier later.
She would never be like the original owner, clinging to Qin Feiyang for survival like a parasitic plant.
She wants to be a woman who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Qin Feiyang!
After reviewing the original plot, she found some useful information.
There is a male supporting character who is a business tycoon and the female lead's biggest admirer. Although he appears relatively late in the story, the author vividly describes his past through flashbacks.
Coincidentally, this big shot is from Jiangcheng.
Cao Jing went to great lengths to find this person and persuade him to cooperate.
The boss entrusted her with a batch of circuit boards. If she successfully delivered them to the designated person, she would receive 20% of the value of the goods.
The circuit boards were packed in two boxes. Li Lidan's husband was a train driver, so he could easily hide them anywhere and take them with him.
But Li Lidan was timid as a mouse and simply refused.
Cao Jing didn't want to talk to Li Lidan anymore and wanted to leave, but Li Lidan stopped her.
"Xiaojing, please listen to my advice. Don't do something so foolish. If something goes wrong, it will not only harm yourself, but also jeopardize Feiyang's future!"
Cao Jing said coldly, "I'll say it one last time, I guarantee there's absolutely no risk involved. Are you willing to help me?"
Li Lidan stared speechlessly at Cao Jing, wondering how her usually well-behaved and sensible younger sister had become so unfamiliar.
It's completely different from before!
Seeing that she remained silent, Cao Jing said no more and turned to leave.
This family of hers is of no use whatsoever except to leech off her; we need to cut ties with them from now on!
