80 village women marry military officers; it was supposed to be a fake marriage.

Chang Jingxiang looked at the photographer with a puzzled expression. The photographer was holding another photo and asked Chang Jingxiang with a smile, "I took an extra one. Do you want it?"

The photo was taken when Chang Jingxiang put his arm around Lin Yue's waist. Lin Yue tilted her head and looked at Chang Jingxiang with an incredulous expression, while Chang Jingxiang smiled triumphantly at the camera.

"Yes, thank you." Chang Jingxiang unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth and naturally put the photo into his pocket.

The moment the marriage certificate was stamped with the official seal, Lin Yue was thinking about when she could get a divorce certificate. After the staff said, "It's all done, congratulations, is there anything else?" Lin Yue immediately asked, "When can we get the divorce certificate?"

The staff member got a little angry. "You're really funny, young lady. You just got your marriage certificate and you're already thinking about getting a divorce certificate? Do you think marriage is a game? There's something wrong with your thinking."

Chang Jingxiang quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "She asked out of spite, and I made her angry, so she's throwing a tantrum."

The staff member was quite cold, saying, "Marriage is a big deal and can't be taken lightly. Even if you wanted to, national policy wouldn't allow it. How can you get divorced right after getting married?"

If you're upset, go back and comfort her properly. Don't joke about such a serious issue.

Lin Yue wanted to say something, but Chang Jingxiang pulled her out of the office. "That's enough for today. I'll handle the divorce."

"Oh, okay, I don't want to hold you back." Based on my memories from my previous life, many things have been brought forward. Chang Jingxiang's family's problems should be resolved soon, and they will all return to the capital.

If you resolve the issue before then, there won't be any entanglements later, and you can focus on your own path.

Lin Yue remembered that she still had things to do, and touched the money in her pocket. "I want to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something."

"Ah."

Chang Jingxiang thought Lin Yue was going to buy clothes and shoes, as girls like those things. However, when they passed the clothing section, Lin Yue didn't stop for a moment and went straight to the grain, oil and non-staple food stall.

"Girl, you need food coupons to buy noodles and sugar. Giving me money alone won't do you any good."

This was Lin Yue's first time buying things at the supply and marketing cooperative. She thought that as long as she had money, she could buy anything. "But I don't have any grain coupons. Could you sell me some today?"

The sales clerk was in a dilemma. She wanted to sell the goods but couldn't break the rules. "No, that won't do. It's against the regulations, and I'll be punished. Come back and buy when you have your food coupons."

"But…"

"Give it to her, I have some coupons here." Chang Jingxiang handed over the grain coupons and money. He also had some money and coupons in his hand, which he put directly into Lin Yue's hand.

"Here, take these. Buy whatever you want."

Lin Yue stood there in astonishment, then hurriedly tried to return the tickets and money in her hand to Chang Jingxiang, saying, "Here, take these back. Consider the grain tickets a loan from me; I'll pay you back later."

Chang Jingxiang stuffed the money back into her hand, saying, "This money was originally intended for our wedding. You can use it first, and let me know if you need more."

"No, that's not what I meant. I have money for the bride price here."

"Keep that money; I should be responsible for household expenses."

"But…"

The sales clerk watched the money go back and forth between the two of them and joked with a smile, "Oh, young lady, you two just got married, right? You're all family, why are you so calculating? Come on, take your things and go browse around some more."

There are so many things to buy after getting married, and they even have the latest clothes and shoes over there.

Chang Jingxiang naturally took the item from the saleswoman, which drew another round of praise from her: "Young lady, your husband is so good to you. He's handsome and willing to spend money on you. You should cherish him."

Lin Yue's ears turned red from the comments. Even though it was a fake marriage, she couldn't tell everyone she met. Besides, there were many people at the supply and marketing cooperative, so it wasn't appropriate to make a scene there. Therefore, Lin Yue stopped trying to refuse.

Lin Yue bought some snacks, brown sugar, and biscuits, which Chang Jingxiang took and helped carry.

Lin Yue walked behind empty-handed. She felt a little uncomfortable. In her previous life, Chang Jingxiang was always cold and aloof, and he didn't even want to talk to her, let alone accompany her shopping like this.

Chang Jingxiang was a very responsible person. Even though he didn't like her, he would still work to earn work points to support his family. It was only because he went too far that he kicked her out.

Chang Jingxiang stopped in front of the clothing stall. Lin Yue was still lost in thought when she bumped into his back.

Lin Yue snapped out of her daze, touched her nose, and looked at Chang Jingxiang with wide, puzzled eyes.

"Let's pick out a few clothes and shoes."

"No need, I have clothes to wear." Lin Yue insisted on not buying, and Chang Jingxiang didn't say anything more.

When they passed the town clinic, Lin Yue jumped off her bicycle and said she was going in to buy medicine. Chang Jingxiang parked his bicycle and followed her inside.

Lin Yue stood outside the counter holding a prescription, and the male doctor inside the counter took it with a smile. The two chatted and laughed, looking like they knew each other well.

The male doctor looked to be in his early twenties, about the same age as Chang Jingxiang. He was tall, wearing a clean white coat, and had a friendly and innocent smile.

Lin Yue looked up at him as he took the medicine, then happily accepted it. The two exchanged a few more words, and when they parted, the male doctor even touched Lin Yue's hair, the gesture natural and intimate.

Lin Yue didn't dodge and accepted it naturally, even waving goodbye with a smile. The male doctor nodded slightly when he saw Chang Jingxiang.

"Let's go." Lin Yue had already put away her smile.

On the way back, Lin Yue cautiously asked Chang Jingxiang, "When we get back to the village, may I go home again?"

Hearing her cautious tone and recalling her interaction with the male doctor earlier, Chang Jingxiang said in a low voice, "Hmm."

Lin Yue sensed the coldness in the man's tone, and her happy mood vanished. She wondered why he was angry again, and whether he thought she was being difficult.

No one spoke the rest of the way.

Lin Yue first went to her neighbor, Sister Wang's house, carrying the things she bought at the supply and marketing cooperative. Sister Wang was working in the yard when she saw Lin Yue and happily came out to greet her.

When Chang Jingxiang walked in, Sister Wang paused noticeably and took a step back, looking somewhat ashamed.

Lin Yue lowered her voice and said to Sister Wang, "Sister-in-law, please accept these things and use them to nourish the child. I won't be back often in the future, so if you need anything, just go to the team leader."

Lin Yue took some money out of her pocket and stuffed it into Sister Wang's hand, saying, "Keep this money for emergencies. Don't let my mother and the others know."

The Lin family had all gone out, leaving only Grandma at home, who was sleeping. Lin Yue quietly put the medicine she had bought into Grandma's medicine bottle and then quietly withdrew.

Chang Jingxiang couldn't help but laugh as he watched Lin Yue sneaking around. "Why are you acting like a thief when you go back to your own home?"
