Chapter 6: Strike First (Page 1/2)
Lin Man slept for an hour and came out of the space to find that it was not yet three o'clock and her family was not at home. Even Lin Shuang, who was also an unemployed vagrant, was not at home. She probably went to play with her sister Ye Chen.
While everyone was away, Lin Man wanted to go to her parents' room to steal her household registration card. When she got to their door, she found it was locked.
This was not a difficult task for her. She asked the housekeeper for a master key from the space and opened the door with a click.
I pushed the door open and walked in, then used the key to open the drawer, only to find that there were only the grain purchase certificate, household registration certificate, and a bunch of old photos. There was no money or passbook.
Where did they hide the valuables in the house? Lin Man opened all the drawers and boxes but found no money or passbooks.
She couldn't find anything. Could it be that the situation was tense and they had hidden all the valuables?
Lin Man sneered. Lin Guosheng was indeed very smart. Yes, if he wasn't very capable, how could he become an accountant in the hospital?
Never mind for now. It was still early. Lin Man took the two certificates and went directly to the military hospital to find Huo Qingci.
Seeing Lin Man arrive so quickly, Huo Qingci quickly pulled her aside and said, "I've already handed the marriage application to the dean, and he's stamped it for me. My grandfather said he'll go to your house tomorrow to propose, and then we'll go register."
"Doctor Huo, I've taken out my household registration certificate and grain purchase certificate. I had another argument with them when I got home this afternoon. My parents want to marry me to Director Wang's stupid son from the supply and marketing cooperative in exchange for Lin Shuang's job."
"What? How could they do this? That Lin Shuang stole your fiancé, and now she's using your marriage to buy her a job?
In that case, let's go get the marriage certificate now. Please wait for me for a moment while I ask for leave."
It is better to strike first. He can't let Lin Man marry that idiot. Let his grandfather and the others scold him if they want, but he will get a marriage certificate with Lin Man first.
Lin Man hadn't expected Huo Qingci to be so straightforward and quick to act. Could this be considered a flash marriage? She felt a little excited and a little nervous. What was going on?
"Okay, go ahead!"
When the two came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Lin Man was holding something that looked like a certificate in her hand. In a trance, she realized that she had really gotten married in one day.
"Lin Man, let's go to the police station now and transfer your household registration. We should go early because they will be closing soon."
Huo Qingci's magnetic voice sounded in Lin Man's ears. Lin Man didn't even listen carefully to what he said, but nodded stupidly and said yes.
When they came out of the police station, it was already five o'clock. Huo Qingci wanted to take Lin Man to buy a watch, but Lin Man said, "It's too late. Let's talk about this later. I'll go back and return the household registration card first."
"If you don't have time, I'll choose it for you myself. What kind of watch do you like?"
Her space has all kinds of watches, including world-famous watches and high-tech mechanical watches.
"Why don't you just not buy a watch?"
"No, you have to buy a watch, a bicycle and a sewing machine for the wedding. We can buy them after we settle down on the island.
My parents will go to your house tomorrow to give you a gift. If you have any requests, you can ask for them. The gift money is 880 yuan."
"Huh? That's so much! Why don't you just give me two or three hundred? If your family gives me that much as a gift, my parents will definitely haunt us like vampires."
Lin Man thought that it would be best not to give her a cent. Anyway, she had already married and moved her household registration out. Now she was registered under the Huo family's household registration. When she and Huo Qingci left Beijing, they would definitely not be able to find her.
"In that case, I'll ask them to give you less. I'll ask my parents to prepare a special betrothal gift for you, and I'll give you my bankbook for safekeeping."
"No need. Let's talk about it after we leave Beijing. I'm going back first. If they find out I stole my household registration certificate to get a marriage certificate after get off work, there will definitely be trouble."

"Well, be careful. I'll bring my family to your house tomorrow at 11 o'clock."
"Okay, I'll tell them."
After Lin Man left, Huo Qing went to the department store and bought her two pairs of braids, two pieces of floral cloth, a watch with a plum blossom leather strap, and four kinds of gifts: candy, cigarettes, wine, and tea.
Lin Man returned home, put the marriage certificate into the space, and secretly went to her parents' room to put the two certificates back into their drawer and locked it.
Just as they fastened the latch on their door, Lin Shuang suddenly came over and said with a smile, "Sister, are you trying to break into my parents' room and steal something? My parents say you're a rebellious girl and they've been on guard against you for a long time.
Lin Shuang congratulates Sister. Congratulations, Sister. Tomorrow Director Wang will bring Wang Baobao to propose marriage. Sister will have no worries about food and clothing in the future.
Lin Man didn't expect that Lin Guosheng was so cruel and actually wanted to marry her to the Wang family quickly. Fortunately, she got a marriage certificate with Huo Qingci today.
She just wanted to see how Lin Guosheng would marry her to Wang Baoer again. Seeing that the Lin family members had not returned yet, she stepped forward and kicked Lin Shuang to the ground, "If you don't want to die, shut up!"
Just as Lin Shuang was about to get up, Lin Man struck her head with a bolt of lightning. Lin Shuang fainted and her hair was burned to charcoal.
Seeing that there was no one around, she quickly dragged her to the center of the yard, clapped her hands, and went back to the room.
As soon as Zhou Ping and Lin Guosheng entered the yard, they saw Lin Shuang lying in the middle of the yard. Zhou Ping shouted loudly: "Shuangshuang, what happened to you?"
Lin Guosheng saw Lin Shuang's hair standing on end, sniffed the air, and found a burning smell. He said, "Could Shuangshuang have been struck by lightning?"
After saying that, he reached out to help Lin Shuang, but as soon as he touched her hand, an electric current ran through him, scaring him so much that he took a step back.
"Don't move yet, Shuangshuang has electricity on her body."
"Could Shuangshuang have been electrocuted to death?"
"What are you talking about? Didn't you see her chest heaving? She must have fainted from the electric shock. Go get a stick and see if you can wake her up. Then we can find a way to get her to the hospital."
At this time, Lin Chao and Shen Min also came back from get off work. Seeing their sister lying on the ground, their parents were anxious and ran over quickly.
"What's going on? What happened to Shuangshuang?"
"Your sister was struck by lightning or electrocuted. Send her to the hospital quickly."
Lin Yang bent down to hug her, but Zhou Ping pulled her away and said, "Don't touch her yet. She's still electrified."
Lin Yang said: "Mom, I just touched Shuangshuang's hand, there is no electricity."
Shen Min said, "Mom, let Lin Chao take my sister. Lin Yang and I will cook at home."
Lin Chao also came back and asked, "What's wrong? Where do you want me to carry Sister Shuangshuang? Oh my god, what happened to Sister Shuangshuang?"
"Stop talking. You two brothers, take Shuangshuang to the hospital. Your mom and I will be here soon. Xiaomin will stay home to cook, and ask the little troublemaker to help."
The father-in-law had spoken, so what else could Shen Min do? She could only obey.
As soon as they left, she went to take pictures of the utility room where Lin Man lived, "Bang, bang, bang!"
"Lin Man, what time is it? Are you still sleeping? Come out and cook."
Lin Man opened the door, raised her eyebrows and said coldly: "No!"
"If you don't do it, you won't have dinner tonight!"
"If you don't want to eat, then don't eat." After saying that, Lin Man quickly closed the door and went straight into the space.
It was six o'clock, and she was still waiting for the nourishing Buddha Jumps Over the Wall that the housekeeper would make for her. Zhang Ying was the daughter of the base director.
More than half of the supplies in the entire base are in her space. Not to mention the abalone, shark's fin, and bird's nest that have little energy, even the meat of high-level exotic beasts from other worlds fills up the cold storage.
