Li Huai was still wearing his military uniform, while Zhao Qinglan was wearing a maroon cotton coat.
"Closer, even closer, smile, hey, right."
Under the guidance of the experienced photographer, the two, smiling sweetly, were captured in a photograph.
After taking the wedding photos, Zhao Qinglan also took another photo with her daughter, Xiaoduo.
They told the photographer to expedite the photos, took the receipt for the photos, and the three of them left the photo studio.
It's almost December now, and it's quite cold.
There wasn't much to see outside, so Li Huai took the mother and daughter to the only movie theater in the county.
Li Huai not only bought Xiao Duo the candied hawthorns she wanted, but also picked her up high in his arms.
Xiao Duo has never felt much fatherly love from her biological father, Wang Dazhi, but now she is so doted on by Li Huai, and she has come to accept Li Huai as her new father even more.
The three of them, like a family of three, bought tickets and went into the movie theater in a warm and friendly manner.
After much urging, the necessary review process was finally completed.
Holding their newly taken wedding photos, Zhao Qinglan and Li Huai went to the civil affairs department together.
Not long after they got their divorce certificate, they got their marriage certificate.
Both Li Huai and Zhao Qinglan felt like they were dreaming.
Li Huai overspent his holiday and had to return to his unit the day after receiving his certificate, mainly because he was worried about his two sons at home.
The two finally became a legal couple. On the day they received their marriage certificate, Sui Wenjing invited them to her home to celebrate.
Anyway, the Wang family already knows about Zhao Qinglan and Li Huai's affair, and Sui Wenjing has also broken ties with Wang Dazhi, so Zhao Qinglan isn't afraid to visit Sui Wenjing's house.
The more open and honest they are, the less others can say anything about them.
If it could infuriate the Wang family to death, Zhao Qinglan would be more than happy to do so.
When Zhao Qinglan brought Xiaoduo to the clothing factory's residential compound, people naturally saw them and asked questions. Zhao Qinglan then told them that she and Li Huai had registered their marriage.
When they see someone they used to know, they will give them a couple of pieces of wedding candy.
News of Zhao Qinglan's remarriage and her arrival at the family compound quickly reached the Wang family.
While Sui Wenjing's home was filled with joy and celebration, the atmosphere at Wang's house was strange.
They dared not make a fuss, nor could they argue; the Wang family was at their wits' end.
Especially Wang Dazhi, ever since he lost his position as director, he has been drinking every day, and the atmosphere in the Wang family is getting worse day by day.
If only Wang Xiaoyan missed the days when Zhao Qinglan was still alive, now the entire Wang family is starting to miss and regret it.
However, not a single person actually expressed regret.
Old Mrs. Wang would often curse Zhao Qinglan and her daughter, wishing them a terrible death.
The atmosphere at home was tense, and Wang Xiaofei didn't like staying at home, so he took his sister and left the house.
"Brother, it's so cold, where are we going?" Wang Xiaoyan asked somewhat reluctantly.
"Let's go, let's go see that woman."
When Wang Dazhi went to Sui Wenjing's house to make trouble, Wang Xiaofei went along and saw it too, so he naturally knew where Sui Wenjing's house was.
He and his sister quietly arrived at Sui Wenjing's door and eavesdropped.
The house was filled with laughter and the aroma of food wafting out.
The brother and sister, who hadn't eaten properly for several days, couldn't help but swallow their saliva as soon as they smelled this aroma.
Touching her stomach, Wang Xiaoyan whispered, "Brother, I'm hungry."
"You think I'm not hungry?" Wang Xiaofei said unhappily.
Inside the house, Li Huai, who was drinking with Li Aiguo, suddenly looked towards the door.
"What's wrong, Li Huai?" Li Aiguo asked, puzzled.
Li Huai didn't say anything, got up and walked to the door, then yanked it open.
Caught off guard, Wang Xiaofei and Wang Xiaoyan stumbled in.
The room fell silent instantly.
"Why are you here?" Xiaoduo asked in surprise.
After living alone with her mother for a few days, Xiaoduo realized how happy she was and had no attachment to the Wang family.
Seeing his older brother and sister who always bullied him again, he became bolder.
"Wang Xiaofei, Wang Xiaoyan, what are you doing here?" Zhao Qinglan stood up.
She had absolutely no liking for the brother and sister.
"Tch, I'm just looking around, it's none of your business." Wang Xiaofei glanced sideways.
“That’s right, mind your own business, you bad woman.” Wang Xiaoyan pouted as well.
"Heh, then you should stop sneaking around like thieves and go back home." Zhao Qinglan said with annoyance.
Seeing Zhao Qinglan's reaction, Li Huai also became a little puzzled.
These two kids must have bullied Xiaoduo so badly to make Qinglan hate them so much.
They had no idea that Zhao Qinglan and Wang Xiaofei harbored a deep-seated hatred for each other because of the loss of Xiaoduo.
"You're the bad ones!" Xiao Duo retorted when she heard Wang Xiaoyan scolding her mother.
"Alright, Xiaoduo." Zhao Qinglan pulled her daughter back. "You two should go now."
Wang Xiaofei grabbed Wang Xiaoyan and ran away.
After the two children left, Zhao Qinglan felt embarrassed looking at the people in the room.
"I've made a fool of myself again."
"Qinglan, don't say that. Now I understand why you couldn't stay in the Wang family. Look at these two kids, what a mess they are." Sui Wenjing was speechless.
It was only after Li Aiguo pulled her back that Sui Wenjing stopped talking.
"Come on, let's continue eating, let's continue eating."
After the dinner party ended, Li Huai escorted Zhao Qinglan and Xiao Duo home.
Xiao Duo fell asleep because she was too tired, and Li Huai held her and let her rest her head on his shoulder.
"Don't you think I treated those two kids too badly?" Zhao Qinglan asked anxiously.
“You must have your reasons for doing this,” Li Huai chuckled.
There was indeed a reason. Just thinking about how Xiaoduo had suffered a miserable life because of these two wicked siblings made her want to tear them to pieces.
"Thank you for believing in me." Zhao Qinglan was deeply moved.
