Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Yang Jianwei got off the bicycle first. As soon as his feet touched the ground and before he could step down the bicycle kickstand to stop the bike, the big-bellied man reached out and took the bike.

"I'll park inside," the man said.

Yang Jianwei's hand paused in mid-air. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately replied, "Yes, yes, it's safe to put it in there."

Bicycles are large items and it is not safe to park them outside the office.

"Don't be dazed, help this dead girl away!" Yang Xiu Lian bent over and supported Jiang Yu behind her. Not only did she have the weight of an extra person on the bike, but she also had to worry about her falling off, which made Yang Xiu Lian very tired.

Yang Jianwei quickly went over and grabbed Jiang Yu's arm, dragging him down from the back seat.

Yang Xiulian also followed the big-bellied man and parked her bicycle inside the office compound.

At the marriage registration office, a man with a 3:7 hairstyle was looking towards the door with a little impatience.

Inside the room, a short and stocky adult man was hugging a middle-aged woman's waist tightly, saying something incoherently, and occasionally gesticulating with his hands and feet.

The middle-aged woman touched the man's head and comforted him, "It's almost done, we will be able to go home soon. Mom will make you some steamed egg custard when we get home, okay? Baoshu, you are so good!"

“Eggs…eggs…Baoshu wants…to eat…eat eggs~” The man Liu Baoshu sucked two mouthfuls of saliva and leaned towards the woman with a hum.

The disdain on the face of the 3:7 man became even stronger. Just when he was about to say something unpleasant, Jiang Dazhui's family followed the big-bellied man in.

The 3:7 man turned his eyes and looked directly at the girl who was dragged in by her arms, frowning tightly, "How old is this girl?"

"15, the perfect age, so tender and pretty!" Yang Xiulian answered immediately. The expression on her face when she said this was so flattering, she looked exactly like the mothers in the brothel.

"Huh?" x3.

The man with a 3:7 ratio, the big-bellied man Team Leader Liu, and the middle-aged woman Liu Baoshu's mother, all three of them turned their heads and looked over.

Aunt Liu rushed to Jiang Yu and lifted his chin as if he was looking at a commodity. "15?"

The 15:3 man sneered and looked at the short and fat man with disdain, "Team Leader Liu, I can't help you with this. The girl is only years old, and she is still years away from getting a marriage certificate. I can't do this."

Jiang Dazhu and Yang Xiulian were also confused. What? Are there any age requirements for marriage? Why are there so many things? What should we do now? Jianwei's job...

Yang Jianwei also reacted and it seemed that, indeed, this was the case... But he had been concentrating on finding a job and had completely forgotten about this rule.

“No, why can’t we get the certificate at the age of 15? In the past, women would already have several children by the time they were 15!” Yang Xiulian was so anxious. Her son hadn’t found a job yet, and now it was the final moment, why couldn’t they get the certificate?

The man glanced at her. He was too lazy to say anything to such a black-hearted and stupid woman. He had seen disgusting things like selling daughters for jobs before. Moreover, Yang Xiulian was a stepmother! There really weren't many good stepmothers!

"The rules have been in place for many years. If you have any objections, go and tell your boss. We will follow the rules. Don't talk nonsense to me!"

Team leader Liu also just found out Jiang Yu's age. Now it seems that his plan to find a wife for his son has failed again. He was immediately furious and fired directly at Jiang Dazhu, "Don't you have a brain? Anyone with a little common sense knows what the legal age for marriage is now! You are still a worker, and your life is not even as good as that of the old farmers who dig for food in the soil! You are wasting your time. If you want to go to Orange, go by yourselves. Don't harm our family!"

Aunt Liu also gave Yang Xiu Lian a look of disgust and said, "If you want to play tricks, why don't you make sure you understand the situation first? You're like a wasp with a sting at its tail. Tsk tsk!" After saying that, the couple pulled their son and prepared to go home.

Yang Xiulian subconsciously stretched out her hand to stop them, "Then, then, then... that won't work. You can take this girl back first, and get the marriage certificate when she is old enough, right?"

When Team Leader Liu heard this, he was immediately moved.

Find a wife for my son, and his wife will come back. I got the marriage certificate because I was worried that I couldn't keep my daughter-in-law and she would run away...

Team leader Liu and his wife looked at each other and saw intention in each other's eyes.

The 3:7 man looked at Yang Xiu Lian with extremely contempt, "Go out and discuss it. Someone else will come here to register for marriage later. We can't use such a good place as this to discuss such dirty matters." What do you mean take her home directly? These black-hearted stepmothers should all be thrown into the well and drowned!

Team leader Liu immediately smiled ingratiatingly, "Okay, okay, Director Fang, you go ahead."

"Go to my dad's place tonight and take all your things away." Director Fang said bluntly. Then he waved his hand and told them to get out quickly. It was unlucky!

Team leader Liu wanted to refuse, thinking that the gift had already been given away, so there was no question of taking it back... But the other party was obviously very impatient, so he didn't dare to stay any longer and took his son away from the registration office.

Several people stood in the yard and continued the previous topic.

Originally, the two parties had agreed that in order to make it sound better to the outside world, Team Leader Liu would pay 188 yuan plus a bicycle as a betrothal gift for his son's marriage, and of course, there would be a temporary worker position for Yang Jianwei.

But the girl is too young to get the marriage certificate now, which makes Team Leader Liu and his wife a little worried.

For a time, the two families had a heated discussion about the amount of the bride price.

Jiang Yu was thrown casually on the ground, with his back against the wall, still pretending to be unconscious, listening to their bargaining.

"Then, Team Leader Liu, you take the person back. The household registration is still with us. My son's job has been confirmed today. As for the betrothal gift, we will go and get it after the girl has the child." Jiang Dazhu thought it was a good idea. Since the household registration was in their hands, they were not afraid that Jiang Yu would run away. The most important thing now was to secure Yang Jianwei's job.

Yang Xiulian was somewhat unwilling about the bride price, but she also knew that the most important thing at the moment was her son's work, so she had to shut up and be obedient.

Team leader Liu discussed with his wife for a while, but couldn't think of a better solution, so he decided to do it this way.

"By the way, did you feed this girl medicine? Why hasn't she woken up yet?" Aunt Liu asked with a frown.

Before leaving, Yang Xiulian was afraid that people would see that she had beaten someone, so she wiped off the blood stains on Jiang Yu's body. Team leader Liu and his family did not look at it carefully and just thought that Jiang Yu had fainted from the drugs.

Yang Xiulian smiled awkwardly, "This girl kowtowed yesterday. Don't worry, she will be fine. The wound has already scabbed over."

Hearing this, Team Leader Liu was a little disgusted again, "Did you hit your head? Don't tell me you've become stupid!"

"No, no! That definitely won't happen." Jiang Dazhu waved his hands repeatedly.

Jiang Yu just listened to them pulling each other back and forth, and finally, she lay on Yang Xiulian's back again and was sent to Liu's house.

Jiang Dazhui, Yang Jianwei and Team Leader Liu walked to the landfill together.

Yang Jianwei has to go to the landfill to collect his temporary worker certificate.

When Yang Xiulian dragged Jiang Yu into Liu's house, she looked at the building with uncontrollable envy on her face.

Mother Liu pointed at the sofa and said, "Put the person there." Then she took her son to get eggs and prepare to make steamed egg custard.

Liu Baoshu was clinging to his mother and following her closely.

Yang Xiulian muttered something, then loosened her grip and threw Jiang Yu onto the sofa, "You stupid girl, I sent you here to enjoy the good life but you are unwilling to do so. You are really a born cheapskate who doesn't know how to cherish your blessings..."

Jiang Yu opened his eyes slightly and looked at Yang Xiulian enviously looking at the decorations in the house, feeling amused inside.
