Since the two had reached a consensus on divorce, the first thing they did after meeting Guo Xin was to ask him to issue a divorce certificate for them.

Guo Xin looked at Yang Jixia, who had his head down and no expression on his face, and then looked at Tong Jia (Rong Xintong), who had a smile on her face and eyes full of expectation. For a moment, he was unsure who had taken the initiative to run away from the marriage.

Although as the political commissar, he is mainly responsible for doing ideological work for the people in the team, this does not seem to include issuing a divorce certificate for the couple.

He smiled at Tong Jia and said, "Ms. Rong, please take a seat first. I've never issued this kind of certificate before. I need to go to the archives to check the details on how to issue it."

Lao Yang, this is your business, don't hide away, come with me to look up the information."

After saying that, he dragged Yang Jixia out of the office.

Only after the two people left did Tong Jia begin to observe the office.

The so-called office was just an ordinary house with three tables and four chairs. One of the tables had two legs supported by bricks, and all the chairs creaked when touched.

The entire office environment can be said to be as simple as it can be.

Seeing this, Tong Jia became interested in the archive room that Guo Xin had just mentioned.

When I stood up and walked to the door, I saw two people talking about thirty or forty meters away from the office.

"Whose archive room is open to the sky? Haha..." Tong Jia understood that Guo Xin was naturally closer to Yang Jixia. It was understandable that she wanted to ask him what he thought first, but it would be pointless to deceive her.

She pushed the door open and shouted to the two people standing outside, "Are all your files written in the open air?"

Upon hearing this, the two men looked at each other and touched their noses embarrassedly.

Then they all walked back without any prior agreement.

When he reached the door, Guo Xincai said embarrassedly: "Miss Rong, don't mind it.

I wasn't lying to you just now. It's mainly because there has never been such a precedent in the past, and discussing it in front of you is a bit...

Ugh—it’s my fault, my fault.

It's very cold outside, let's go inside.

As for the matter, Lao Yang has already told me that since it was Miss Rong who initiated the divorce, may I ask, what are Miss Rong's plans for the future?"

Just because she asked Yang Jixia not to tell his family about the divorce within ten years, Guo Xin didn't think she would return to her parents' home.

Even in a peaceful and prosperous era, it is not easy for a single woman to make a living, let alone in this chaotic era.

Whether out of humanitarian concern or because he didn't want Yang Jixia to regret and feel guilty in the future, he had to find out these things first. If that didn't work, he would send people to the base. At least it was safer there than outside.

Guo Xin's words also reminded Yang Jixia, and he also cast a concerned look at Tong Jia.

Tong Jia coughed lightly and said, "I originally wanted to talk about this matter after I got the divorce certificate.

Since you asked now, Brother Guo, I will tell you first.

I...after my family found out that Yang Jixia had been admitted to a school in the provincial capital, we guessed that his ideas might be...more progressive.

In order to allow me to have something to talk about with him in the future, my family also hired a teacher to teach me those new ideas.

After my divorce, I wanted to go to school.

Actually, I have already found a school.

Even if I don’t meet Yang Jixia this time, I don’t plan to keep looking for him. I should have more meaningful things to do in my life and shouldn’t waste it on meaningless people and things.

So, you don’t have to worry about my life after the divorce, I have already made arrangements.

Also, I have some dowry that is difficult to bring to my school, and since you are lacking in everything here, I will donate it to you."

"Dowry?" Guo Xin and Yang Jixia looked at Tong Jia at the same time, and recalled what happened when she was brought into the village yesterday. They didn't notice that she had any large luggage.

The two looked at each other, and Yang Jixia asked, "Didn't you say that the elders of my family only gave you a few silver dollars, and you didn't take anything else?"

Tong Jia rolled her eyes at him and said, "My apparent dowry is gone, so I can't take it with me even if I want to.

Thanks to your blessing, I haven't changed my clothes in the three days since I married into the Yang family. I was still wearing my wedding dress when I was kicked out. My mother gave me the dowry hidden in the wedding dress so that it could be saved."

Yang Jixia was speechless, and Guo Xin continued, "The dowry that we managed to save with such great difficulty is naturally the capital for your future life, Miss Rong. If you don't want to take it with you, I can send two people. No, let Old Yang escort you to your school. How can you leave it for us?"

Tong Jia smiled and said, "Yang Jixia, didn't you promise to write me an IOU?

I don't really need these things now, so just consider them as my support to you.

Whether you use it to buy supplies or weapons, it has nothing to do with me.

I have only one condition, that Yang Jixia write me an IOU. Brother Guo, you can be a witness."

Guo Xin looked at Yang Jixia and saw Yang Jixia nod.

Then he turned to Tong Jia and asked, "Miss Rong, what support do you want to give us? How much is it, and where is it?

Also, how do I write Lao Yang’s IOU?

You're not going to let Old Yang return all the things you supported us with, right?"

Tong Jia said: "That's not the case.

I...will tell you how much I can support you with after I go back to my room and count it.

As for the IOU Yang Jixia wrote to me, I don’t ask for much.

Since I gave you the capital to make a living in troubled times, it shouldn't be too much to ask Yang Jixia to give me a place to live when peace and prosperity come, right?"

Yang Jixia assured him, "It's not too much. If the world is at peace and I'm still alive, I will definitely stay in my hometown..."

"I don't want a house in your hometown. If I buy a house in your hometown, how can I live a peaceful life? Your sister-in-law and sister will come to visit every day.

"I want a house in the capital, right under the imperial city. I'm alone anyway, so it doesn't have to be too big, a square courtyard will do." Tong Jia interrupted Yang Jixia and stated her request.

Although she could buy it herself at that time, what she bought would be different from the one Yang Jixia gave her.

According to the trajectory of his previous life, Yang Jixia was a high-ranking official at that time, and had a good relationship with the second-in-command. Living in the house he gave him, his safety was quite guaranteed.

Guo Xin looked at Yang Jixia, and Yang Jixia nodded to show that he agreed.

Then he looked at Tong Jia and said, "Then I'll issue you a divorce certificate first. Are you sure you won't regret it?"

Yang Jixia looked at Tong Jia, and Tong Jia nodded firmly.

So, Guo Xin picked up the pen and prepared to write the divorce certificate, but after thinking about it, he put the pen down, thought about it again, picked up the pen again, and handed it to Yang Jixia.

He said, "Lao Yang, your handwriting is better than mine. You write the divorce certificate and I'll just sign it for you."

Yang Jixia looked at Tong Jia, and Tong Jia said, "Anyone can write it. You guys write first, I'll go back to the house to see how much I can support you, and then I'll bring it all to you later."

After saying that, he left the office.

Tong Jia actually noticed the hint in Guo Xin's words that she could stay. She also thought about staying and going directly to northern Shaanxi with Yang Jixia and the others. In this way, many of her ideas could be conveyed to the top management through Yang Jixia.

However, this time she appeared inexplicably, and many things were hard to explain, especially how Tao Junle should have appeared so naturally. She racked her brains but couldn't figure it out.

In this way, her suggestions will not only not be adopted, but will be doubted.

The most important thing is that she still has a task to complete and needs to send the things back to Tianjin quickly.

Therefore, she gave up her plan of waiting for Yang Jixia and Guo Xin to complete their mission and then follow them to northern Shaanxi, and everything went according to her original plan.

After returning to the room, she entered the RV and brought Tao Junle out. With his help, she wrapped the big yellow croaker and small yellow croaker collected from the Yang family and the Tao family with cloth strips and tied them around her waist.

After trying it several times, I felt that if only the small yellow croaker was tied around the waist, it would not be easy to be discovered.

So she took out two big yellow croakers, and also took out the small yellow croakers that were stuffed into the cloth strips and could be wrapped around the waist, and wrapped them together in the tablecloth in the room.

When she returned to the office with the heavy cloth bag, the divorce certificate and debt certificate had already been written.

With a "clang", Tong Jia put the cloth bag in her arms on the table, and the table even shook under the weight.

Guo Xin and Yang Jixia went to support the table while the other went to check the contents of the cloth bag.

After seeing more than a dozen small yellow croakers and two large yellow croakers inside, both of them were dumbfounded and asked at the same time: "You brought all these things with you?"

Tong Jia nodded and lied without thinking: "Yes, when I got married, my mother tied it for me. There are small grids on the belt, and each grid is just right for a small yellow croaker. There is also an inner pocket sewn at the hem of the skirt, which contains six large yellow croakers.

On the way to the northwest to look for someone, I used two large yellow croakers.

These things are too heavy. Wearing them around my waist every day makes me uncomfortable in the winter and uncomfortable in the summer.

It feels heavy to wear, and I'm afraid it will be stolen if I take it off.

I kept two big yellow croakers for myself, and the rest are all for you.

Yang Jixia, two big yellow croakers in exchange for a courtyard house in Beijing, you don’t lose out, right?

If you hadn't run away from the marriage, I wouldn't have to suffer so much and spend so much money.

I'm not asking you to pay me any more... I'm going to give one-third of my monthly salary to Ms. Rong Xintong until I die?"

Tong Jia was worried that she would be caught lying, so she looked for something to cover up her nervousness while she spoke, and picked up the two certificates to look at them.

On the piece of paper with the "Proof of Debt" written on it, it was written: [Because Yang Jixia acted recklessly and hit Ms. Rong Xintong with a vase, causing harm to Ms. Rong Xintong, he used a courtyard house under the imperial city of Beijing to compensate her.

Mr. Yang is unable to bear the responsibility now, but he will fulfill his promise when the country is peaceful and the people are prosperous.

In addition, in order to repay the interest, when Yang is able to bear the debt, he will give one-third of his monthly salary to Ms. Rong Xintong until his death.

Contractor: Yang Jixia

Witness: Guo Xin

Looking at the divorce certificate again, it read: "My husband, Yang Jixia, is betrothed to Rong Xintong as my wife through a matchmaker in the past. Since their marriage, due to the husband's fault, the couple has not had sexual intercourse. Therefore, after mutual consultation, we agree to divorce."

Since the man is the one at fault, the woman's dowry and pre-marital gift are her personal property and the man and his family are not allowed to seize them.

After the divorce, both parties are no longer married, and the man and the woman are free to marry, and neither party interferes with the other.

This is a document of divorce, written as a witness for your records.

Contractor: Yang Jixia

Witness: Guo Xin

Yang Jixia has signed both certificates. As long as Tong Jia signs the divorce certificate, the certificate will become effective.

Although Tong Jia was somewhat moved after seeing the interest on the debt certificate.

But thinking about Grandma Rong's loneliness and helplessness in her previous life, and the fact that this house and the interest were all based on the premise of peace and prosperity in the country, if he didn't know the subsequent developments and knew that Yang Jixia could live for a long time, this "Proof of Debt" would actually be no different from waste paper in the eyes of others.

However, since the other party is willing to give it, Tong Jia naturally would not refuse.

She readily signed the three words "Rong Xintong" on the "Divorce Certificate".

When she folded the two certificates and was about to put them away, she found that the other two men in the room were still in shock as they had just seen the yellow croakers.

Especially Yang Jixia, maybe they were husband and wife before, so when he looked at Tong Jia, his gaze was bolder than Guo Xin's.

He really didn't realize that such a weak woman like Tong Jia (Rong Xintong) could actually carry more than 2,000 grams of gold around every day.

Thinking back to the first time we met, she suddenly rushed up the slope and beat herself up. It didn't look at all like she was running with a load.

I thought silently in my heart: It turns out that you can’t judge a person by his appearance.

After meeting Tong Jia's gaze, Yang Jixia realized that he and Tong Jia no longer had any relationship, and that this look was somewhat impolite.

So, he changed the subject and said, "Have you read both certificates? If you have no objection, I will write another 'Divorce Certificate', one for each of us."

Tong Jia said, "Okay, I've already signed this one and will just put it away. Write another one and I'll sign it for you."

When Yang Jixia was about to go back to write the certificate, he found that the position had been taken by Guo Xin.

He was writing the "Donation Certificate": [Today we received two large yellow croakers and eighteen small yellow croakers donated by Ms. Rong Xintong, with a total weight of 1,187.5 grams.

Collected by Guo Xin, Political Commissar of Jinzhong Base Area, all used for the construction and development of the base area, as proof of this.

Collector: Guo Xin

witness:】

After finishing, Guo Xin said, "Come on, Lao Yang, you can be a witness too. Don't you still need to write another divorce certificate? You guys write it first. I'll go get Lao Chen some madder. I'll at least stamp it with a seal and a fingerprint to make our certificate look more official."

Guo Xin was very quick and came back by the time Yang Jixia had finished writing another "Divorce Certificate".

The ink he brought back, which he called the ink made by Lao Chen himself, was brown in color, not red.

After stamping all the certificates and adding Old Chen, who worked as a doctor at the base, as a witness, Tong Jia put away the three certificates.

These are not ordinary three pieces of paper. The "Divorce Certificate" is the proof of her personal freedom, the "Debt Certificate" is the guarantee that she will not be too destitute, and the "Donation Certificate" is the life-saving talisman that will enable her to live a stable life at any time in the future.
