After being reborn, I decisively broke off my engagement and married a cold-faced military young mas

I thought to myself: So they went to town today to buy things for their wedding. I knew their years of relationship couldn't just end like that.

She said she wouldn't marry him, but then she quietly went to buy things for the wedding.

Ha, she was just being stubborn after all.

Of course, since she was in the wrong, it was understandable that she was angry.

Lu Jiangting rushed to the post office to make a call. As soon as the call connected, Old Zhou on the other end asked, "Jiangting, did you have a fight with your fiancée?"

Ok?

Who told him?

They knew all this way from so far away?

"Uncle Zhou, did someone say anything to you?"

"Hmph, Xiaolin called me yesterday, saying she wanted me to send your marriage certificate back because she doesn't want to get married anymore."

what?

"Then...the marriage certificate..."

"It's still with me. I was really angry after hearing what she said yesterday, and I was planning to send it back to her directly. But it was too late yesterday, and the postman had already left, so I had to give up."

I was thinking of sending it today, but then I suddenly felt I should ask you. A relationship is hard to come by, so if there are conflicts, resolve them properly. I still hope you two can be well.

"Yes, yes, Uncle Zhou is right. We are going to get married. Please help me submit the report."

"That won't do. You have to have Xiaolin call me first, and only if she agrees..."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jiangting felt a mix of emotions.

It turns out she wasn't joking; she was telling the truth.

She really wanted to break off the engagement.

No, that's not right. If you really want to break off the engagement, then why are you buying wedding supplies today?

Lu Jiangting returned to the village and, after much thought, took the two bags of fruit candies he had bought that morning to the Lin family's house.

"Yuyao, I bought you two packs of your favorite fruit candies. Here you go."

Lin Yuyao ignored him, but Ye Lian, who was inside the house, heard his voice and came out with a pair of fire tongs.

"What are you doing here? Get out, you're not welcome in our home."

Lu Jiangting stepped back slightly. "Aunt Lian, I know I did something wrong. I've come to apologize. Whatever you want me to do to make you feel better, I'll accept it."

"No need. Just stay far away from my daughter from now on, and I'll be thankful."

"That's definitely not possible, Aunt Lian. We've already submitted our marriage application, and the marriage certificate might have been issued by now. We should receive it in a few days."

Although we haven't had the wedding banquet yet, Yuyao is practically my wife now. Your interference in my marriage, preventing me from seeing her, is breaking up a military marriage. Aunt Lian, breaking up a military marriage is a crime.

what?

And it's a crime?

"You little brat, you think I'm giving you face?" Ye Lian rolled up her sleeves and was about to poke a hole in him with fire tongs.

At this point, Lin Yuyao had no choice but to step forward and stop him, saying, "Mother, it's not worth fighting with him. I'll handle this myself."

"Daughter, how are you going to handle this? If you ask me, I'll just kick this shameless person out."

Lin Yuyao took a deep breath and said to Lu Jiangting, "Come out with me."

After saying that, she walked out.

Lu Jiangting quickly followed, explaining what happened yesterday as he chased after her.

“Yuyao, I know it was wrong of me to lend money out, I promise it will only be this once.”

Lin Yuyao stopped at the edge of the pond, turned around and looked at him, saying, "How can you guarantee it? I'm asking you, if Fang Qing asks you for money again, will you lend it to her or not?"

"No, it won't happen," Lu Jiangting said, shaking his head.

Lin Yuyao: "Not lending it?"

"No, I mean she won't borrow money from me anymore. She's opened her hair salon and can earn money on her own. With the monthly pension she and her son receive from the government, her monthly income is definitely much higher than mine. She won't borrow money from me anymore."

Still too much? Fang Qing will soon lose everything.

"Yuyao, if you don't believe me, from now on all my money will be yours to manage. You can spend it however you want. I won't carry any money with me, so if someone comes to borrow from me, I won't be able to come up with the money. What do you think?"

"not so good."

Lu Jiangting: "..."

"Then tell me, what do I have to do to make you calm down?"

"No matter what you do, it's no use."

Lin Yuyao turned around, looked at the spring water in the pond at the entrance of the village, and took a deep breath.

"This pond is really big, it must be about ten acres."

Lu Jiangting said, "I heard it's 8.7 mu."

That's not young anymore.

“When I was eight years old, I fell into this pond in the yard and almost drowned. You pulled me out. From then on, I followed you around like a little shadow. You saved my life, and I am very grateful to you.”

Lu Jiangting also looked at the water and said, "I saved you willingly, and I don't need your thanks. You're not the only person I've pulled out of this pond. I would have saved anyone who fell into it."

Lin Yuyao did not refute his words; what he said was indeed true.

Lu Jiangting is a very good swimmer and enjoys fishing.

He was the youngest son in his family. His parents and two older sisters used to do all the housework, so he hardly did any housework during his childhood.

All he needs to do is study hard.

So during holidays, he would take his homework and fishing rod and sit under the willow tree by the pond in the yard, doing his homework and fishing at the same time.

During that time, he not only pulled Lin Yuyao out of the pond, but also an old lady washing clothes, and the youngest son of Uncle Wang next door...

Others would simply say thank you, give two packets of fruit candy, or a chicken or a basket of eggs as a token of their gratitude.

Her mother also gave them a basket of eggs as a token of gratitude, so why did she develop such different feelings?

“Lu Jiangting, no matter what, you did save my life by pulling me out of here, and I’m truly grateful to you. But…”

She shook her head and said, "We are not destined to be together. Let's forget about marriage."

Lu Jiangting was taken aback. "Is it still about the money?"

Lin Yuyao nodded. "Yes, we can't get through."

"I..." he wanted to say that he would go and get it back.

However, Lin Yuyao knew he wouldn't do that; he couldn't bring himself to tell Fang Qing.

"I will make it up to you," Lu Jiangting said helplessly.

"Why bother? Can't we just part amicably? If you really want to take care of Fang Qing and her son, marry her and raise Fang Qing's son as your own. Otherwise, whoever you marry in the future will only be hurting them."

Lu Jiangting was furious upon hearing this. He forcefully threw the fruit candy on the ground and said, "How many times have I told you? Fang Qing and I are nothing. Why won't you believe me?"

It's nothing now, but in the future, isn't he hoping I'll die so he can marry her?

Seeing that she remained silent, Lu Jiangting earnestly said, "Yuyao, I really have nothing to do with her. I... sigh! She is Jianjun's widow, there's no way I could marry her. If I married her, how could I face Jianjun?"

Lin Yuyao found these words laughable. That dream was definitely not just a simple dream; perhaps she really did live such a pathetic life.

In that lifetime, didn't he eventually marry her?

Decades later, he had long forgotten the life-saving grace that Comrade Wang Jianjun had shown him.

"Yuyao, you don't believe me, do you?"

Lin Yuyao: "Do you think we can believe it?"

"Why can't I believe her? To put it bluntly, she's divorced with a child, and she's two years older than me. Do you think I'm blind? Why would I be interested in her?"
