Chapter 5 I Agree to Divorce



Zhou Zhengting only heard a plop sound in front of him, and when he got there, he found that she was in so much pain that tears were coming out of her eyes.

Just when I was debating whether to give her a hand, I saw her suddenly burst into laughter.

Zhou Zhengting was confused, "Crazy woman——"

Jiang Qingyue smiled back at him meaningfully, and said, “You will go crazy someday.”

Wait until they return home.

As expected, Zhou Zhengting asked as soon as he entered the room, "What did the captain say just now?"

Jiang Qingyue narrowed her eyes, put down the things she brought back, and then began to confess.

"Zhou Zhengting, I lied to you about returning to the city. I was worried that you would regret it and run away halfway through getting the marriage certificate, so I told you on purpose."

"But today I really want to fight for you, but unfortunately our team doesn't have any quota to return to the city right now."

As expected, Zhou Zhengting's face immediately turned gloomy after hearing this.

But the anger did not last as long as Jiang Qingyue had imagined, and soon the anger turned into indifference.

He just smiled with a hint of sarcasm, "Jiang Qingyue, you really can always fool me."

Then he added, "Fortunately, I didn't have any expectations of you in the first place. It's fine like this now. We don't owe each other anything in the future. Let's get a divorce!"

"Okay, I agree to divorce, but——"

"What?!"

Zhou Zhengting was completely stunned when he heard Jiang Qingyue agreed to divorce without any hesitation.

She had gone to so much trouble and tried every possible means to trick herself into getting married, and last night they became husband and wife.

But she suddenly agreed to divorce?

Is this a way to get away with it? Or is it because he didn't perform well enough last night?

Zhou Zhengting originally wanted to divorce, but after hearing that she agreed, he had no choice but to think about it that way.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhengting suddenly felt like he was being stepped on and humiliated.

"Jiang Qingyue, what exactly are you planning?!"

Jiang Qingyue didn't expect him to react like this, and quickly finished what she had unsaid.

"I agree to the divorce, but please give me one year, at the latest. I promise to give you freedom before then."

Zhou Zhengting frowned, "Why wait a year?"

"Our marriage was a big deal, and I don't want others to laugh at you, me, and my family anymore."

"Besides, you can't go back to the city now. If you get divorced right after getting married, it will be difficult for you to get along in the brigade in the future."

"I promise you that during this year, we are husband and wife in name only. To the outside world, we are husband and wife, but to the inside, we are strangers. If you don't believe me, I can write you a letter of guarantee."

It is now the winter of 1976. By next autumn, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination will be announced.

Jiang Qingyue thought that with her brain as a top student in her previous life and the original owner's status as a junior high school graduate, it should be no problem for her to get into university if she worked hard.

Therefore, she only needed less than a year and a quiet environment to prepare for the college entrance examination.

During this period, she will also try her best to urge Zhou Zhengting to study. If he can pass the exam, it will be regarded as paying off the debt owed to him by the original owner.

When the time comes, both of them will be admitted to universities, and after receiving their admission letters, they will go and exchange their marriage certificates for divorce certificates.

They can just go their separate ways and not listen to the gossip of the villagers.

This plan is the most perfect plan she can think of at the moment.

After hearing Jiang Qingyue's reasons, Zhou Zhengting felt very complicated.

On the one hand, he wished he could break up with Jiang Qingyue right away and never see them again in his life.

On the other hand, he also knew that it was impossible to divorce immediately. Apart from anything else, he would definitely not be able to get the captain's certificate.

Although I don't want to admit it, Jiang Qingyue's one-year plan is indeed the best solution at the moment.

However, he had fallen into trouble too many times with this woman.

How can I trust her again?

But I can't not believe it!

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhengting suddenly felt dejected, and the expression on his face flickered for a long time before he slammed the door and left without saying a word.

After everyone left, Jiang Qingyue was so exhausted that she collapsed on the kang.

Looking at the man's expression just now, I knew he would agree.

It just takes time to digest it. It would be nice to go outside and get some cool air and calm down.

Jiang Qingyue rested for a while, then got up and prepared to clean the house.

Since I still have to live here for another year, I might as well tidy up and live each day to the fullest.

Jiang Qingyue first opened the several bags she had just brought from home, which were filled with the original owner's clothes.

It can be seen that the original owner was quite favored at home before she got married. Her clothes were relatively new, not worn out, and without a single patch.

In addition to clothes of all sizes, there was also a quilt inside.

This quilt came at the right time, otherwise she would have no quilt to sleep on at night.

After all, she probably would never sleep in the same bed with Zhou Zhengting again in her life!

In the other bag were basins for washing face and feet, two brand new towels, a teacup, a comb, a mirror, vanishing cream and other toiletries.

As for private money, there is not a penny of it.

It seems that the original owner couldn't save money either. No wonder her mother said to give her twenty first and save the rest for her.

Jiang Qingyue looked around and found that there was no wardrobe in the room, only a kang cabinet.

It has usually been locked by Zhou Zhengting, and the other side is still empty.

Jiang Qingyue put the clothes in and placed the rest of the basins and other items on top of the cabinet.

After putting everything in place, Jiang Qingyue freed her hands and picked up the mirror to take a closer look.

When she was cooking in the morning, she roughly saw the original owner's appearance from the water surface, and he was very similar to herself.

When he looked in the mirror, he was surprised to find that they were exactly the same.

The same oval face, big eyes and cherry mouth.

Although she grew up in the countryside, her skin is still fair and flawless because she never works in the fields.

The only difference is that she was a little thinner, probably because she didn't have to stay up late to read books and finish her thesis. Her hair was also much better than mine, with two thick black braids that almost reached her waist, and they were black and shiny and looked very nice.

However, when Jiang Qingyue saw such a nice pair of braids, she couldn't love them.

Because she was busy with scientific research before, she was used to neat medium-short hair, which was easy to manage.

But here, it is difficult to take a shower in the winter, let alone washing such long hair. It is simply fatal to wash hair without a hair dryer.

It would be better to wait for a chance to go to the county in the future and see if I can find a place that buys braids and sell them.

After looking in the mirror, Jiang Qingyue looked at the pile of debris in the corner of the room, and stood up resignedly to clean it up.

She threw out all the useless scraps and used them as firewood, and cleaned up the cobwebs in the corners of the walls one by one.

After cleaning, he swept the floor of the house carefully again.

Jiang Qingyue felt very relieved as she watched the originally messy house being cleaned up neatly by her.
