Chapter 680: Getting Ready to Go to Ghost Town
Su Nuan pretended to be silent. She was a little afraid that if she was too active, she would be stopped by Ling Cang and others. They had never allowed her to go before.
Seeing Su Nuan's hesitation, Lei Wuya immediately patted his chest and assured her, "Don't worry, even if I become disabled, I can still protect your safety."
Su Nuan shook her head, "It's not that I don't want to go, it's that they won't let me go."
Lei Wuya looked at Ling Cang and the others who were drinking, and said with a smile: "Then let's go together. We are more than enough to protect you."
"Besides, the ghost town isn't some dangerous place. As long as we don't break the rules there, we can come and go as easily as if it were a spring outing."
Su Nuan nodded, "As long as they agree."
This way you don't have to sneak around in ghost towns.
Lei Wuya immediately turned around and went back to persuade Ling Cang and the others.
After a while, Lingyun came over with the boiled meat, put it on the table and asked, "Are you really going?"
Su Nuan nodded, "I've wanted to go for a long time."
Ling Yun was silent for a moment and then said, "Okay, let's go and take a look together."
He understood Su Nuan a little bit and knew that if he couldn't stop her, it would be better for him to stay with her. If he let her sneak away, he would be even more worried.
Su Nuan was a little surprised and asked, "You agree?"
He had sternly warned himself not to go to the ghost town before.
Ling Yun smiled slightly, "I know I can't stop you, so I might as well follow you and protect you."
"Take your time to eat. I'll go discuss it with them. Once we've sorted things out in the city, we'll set a date for departure."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay, you guys discuss it. I'll be seeing patients these next few days and checking the health of the people in the city."
Ling Yun smiled slightly, "Thank you for your hard work."
There are so many people in the city who need their pulse diagnosed, it's not an easy job.
Su Nuan smiled and said, "I will prepare some more common medicines. I will just prescribe the right medicine for minor ailments. If it's more troublesome, I will prescribe a prescription on the spot."
"By the way, can our herbs still hold up? I don't think there are many."
Ling Yun smiled and said, "Shi Tian took his people to collect herbs. The herbs will be paid according to the purchase price, and I will use the shop to pay them later."
"Shi Tian is only trying to find a future for his younger generation. He himself still wants to live in the City Lord's Mansion."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay, you can arrange it, but if he wants to stay..."
Ling Yun immediately said, "Don't worry, I'll pay the rent."
Su Nuan nodded with satisfaction, "That's good."
Ling Yun smiled and turned to leave.
Lan Lan chuckled, "He knows you very well and knows what you want to ask."
Su Nuan thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he knows that I'm a money-grubber."
Lanlan asked, "Have you ever thought about dating him?"
Su Nuan shook her head. "How is that possible? Even though I'm lustful, I can't do it to people I know. I'd feel embarrassed."
Lan Lan chuckled, "It's easier to kill an old friend."
Su Nuan said helplessly: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, we are not suitable."
Lanlan asked in confusion: "Why?"
Su Nuan was silent for a moment and said, "Sometimes people's words can be scary. I was his sister-in-law. Although I have the divorce agreement, it hasn't been filed with the government, so it shouldn't be considered a formal divorce."
Lan Lan thought for a moment and asked, "Can't you just find an official to stamp it here? Ling Cang is the city lord, he can just stamp it."
"Well...if you insist on going back to the capital, I guess the people in the county government won't build it for you."
Su Nuan didn’t know what the process was, or whether it meant that as long as there was a divorce agreement, they would be considered two families.
Bai Tong said, "I know this. In our place, those who are getting divorced need to get the marriage certificate back from the government, and then submit the divorce certificate for record."
"But as long as the woman has the divorce papers, she can go to the government office at any time."
"The marriage certificate is also destroyed on the spot and will not be given to the divorced party."
Su Nuan asked in confusion: "Why don't you let someone hold it?"
Bai Tong smiled and said, "I don't know about other places, but it's like this where we are."
"Because if the marriage certificate is given to the divorced couple, if one of them regrets it, it would be bad to use the marriage certificate to threaten the other party."
Su Nuan still didn't understand, "What can be threatened?"
Bai Tong thought for a moment and began to use an analogy, "Aren't you getting a divorce? What if you return the marriage certificate to Ling Cang, and then you get married again, and Ling Cang shows up at your house with the marriage certificate and claims you're his wife?"
"So the marriage certificates were destroyed directly in the government office, and the man couldn't get them."
Su Nuan nodded. "If the man goes to get the divorce papers if they don't want a divorce, will the government give it to him?"
Bai Tong shook his head, "No, but Ling Cang was a general before, and the marriage certificate might be in the palace."
Su Nuan was silent. Wasn't she free now? Did she need to destroy the marriage certificate?
Su Nuan is now like a deflated ball, limp and powerless.
Bai Tong chuckled, "It's a bit unfair. Men can marry anyone they want without having to worry about a marriage certificate."
"After you marry a wife, you will submit the marriage certificate to the government office. Of course, the government office will also look at the new marriage certificate. It will say whether it is a wife or a concubine. They have different opinions."
Su Nuan nodded, "Well, let's talk about it when we have the chance to return to the capital."
Bai Tong sighed, "The world is tough, and it's even tougher for women. When will women be able to be independent? When will they be able to work and earn money to support themselves like men?"
Su Nuan was silent. Women in future generations would hold up half the sky, but unfortunately, she couldn’t even speak about it now.
Lanlan didn't say anything either, obviously she was thinking the same thing as Su Nuan.
It is a sin to speak too much about things that are out of touch with the times.
Bai Tong stopped talking again and started eating voraciously. She didn't know what she was thinking about, but she looked a little fierce while eating the meat.
Su Nuan asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Bai Tong swallowed the meat in his mouth and said, "I didn't think much of it. I just felt that I should eat more of this delicious food. I won't be able to eat it when I return to Luancheng."
Su Nuan said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? Just go home and do it yourself. I can teach you."
Bai Tong smiled bitterly and said, "No, I was born unable to cook. I learned well, but I became useless once I started cooking. I even burned down the kitchen."
Su Nuan, "..." Is there really someone who is incompatible with the kitchen?
Lan Lan asked angrily, "Then what are you good at?"
Bai Tong's eyes lit up, "I'm good at accounting, I can do business, and I can also command others to cook."
Lan Lan nodded. "Well, you're a natural conductor. Why don't you just direct others to do it? It doesn't matter if you eat it after it's done, right?"
Bai Tong immediately shook his head, "That won't work. My sister's things are all secret recipes. If I tell others, won't it be leaked?"
Su Nuan didn't respond. "Secret recipe?" Making your own soup base is more casual, you can make whatever flavor you want.
If you're talking about a secret recipe... there's only one. Selling the recipe for the dipping sauce for money?
Thinking of this, her eyes fell on Bai Tong and she asked seriously, "Do you have money?"
