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

Lin Yuyao laughed and said, "Oh dear, auntie, you've really misunderstood. You asked me to break down the door just now, and when I did, they were sitting on either side of the table. They really didn't do anything shameless."

The woman was whispering to the people around her, and judging from her eyes, it wasn't something nice.

Lu Jiangting couldn't stand those looks anymore and couldn't listen to them any longer, so he pulled Lin Yuyao away.

He pulled her along until they left the tenement building and reached her bicycle by the roadside, where Lin Yuyao forcefully shook off his hand.

"Why are you using so much force? Now you believe me, right? I already told you, I didn't say those things."

Lu Jiangting: "Those old men and women have nothing better to do than gossip all day long. You actually believe what you say?"

"I don't believe it. I've never believed it. Does it matter whether you believe it or not? What matters is that rumors can kill people. If you're so capable, then shut them up."

"A gentleman acts with integrity. I have lived up to Jianjun's expectations and to myself. People can say whatever they want, so I can't control them."

Good job!

Lin Yuyao wanted to give him a thumbs up.

"Then why did you pull me away just now? Why didn't you say such passionate things to the elderly people earlier?"

Lu Jiangting: "..."

Unable to argue with Lin Yuyao, he changed the subject, "What are you doing in the city?"

"We were supposed to get married, so I was going to buy the dowry. But now I don't need to. The money's gone, and the wedding can't happen."

Lu Jiangting opened his mouth, but remained silent for a moment.

Lin Yuyao pushed her bicycle ahead, while Lu Jiangting silently followed behind her.

After walking for a long time, Lin Yuyao suddenly heard him say, "I'm sorry."

Ok?

Lin Yuyao thought she had misheard.

"What did you say?"

Lu Jiangting: "..."

He only said it once, and didn't have the courage to say it a second time.

"I'm going back now. I didn't ride my bike today, and our village is on a different road than yours, so I won't see you off."

They are from neighboring villages, two or three miles apart. Is that what you call "different roads"?

Oh no, they are indeed on different paths.

Today, tomorrow, and in the future... we will never walk the same path again.

……

Lin Yuyao did not go back immediately, but went to the post office to call their organization.

She remembered that it would take about ten to fifteen days to send a letter from here to Lu Jiangting's unit.

There are about thirteen days left until Lu Jiangting sends out the marriage certificate. I don't know if it will be in time.

After being transferred, the call was quickly connected.

Lin Yuyao introduced herself directly, saying that she was Lu Jiangting's fiancée, and asked him about their marriage registration.

The marriage certificate is on the other person's desk.

"I received it yesterday. Oh dear, I was originally planning to send it up on Monday, but if Comrade Lin is in a hurry, I'll go and make the trip today."

Lin Yuyao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that it hadn't been delivered yet.

Military marriages are so difficult to divorce; if it were actually sent to the authorities, it would cause a lot of trouble.

"No, I'm not in a hurry. It's just... comrade, could you please help me mail the report back?"

Ok?

"Why send it back?"

Lin Yuyao paused deliberately before saying in a tearful voice, "It's just... we're out of money, so we can't get married for the time being."

"Oh? Has something happened at home? How much money do you need?"

Lin Yuyao: “…”

"Xiao Lin, don't worry. If we don't have enough money, we'll figure something out. No matter how big the problem is, we can't let it delay your wedding. Jiang Ting has already taken his wedding leave, and you can only take it once."

“It’s not just about money. We originally had enough money, but… Jiang Ting lent it to someone else.”

"Oh? That Lu Jiangting is really something, how could he lend money for his wedding to someone else? I'll talk to him about this when he gets back. You two can continue with your wedding, don't let it be delayed."

Lin Yuyao stammered, "Comrade, I...I don't want to marry him for the time being."

"..."

"why?"

“He lent money to a woman to open a hair salon, including the dowry my parents gave me. I feel that in his heart, our marriage is not as important as that woman opening the hair salon. I have to teach him a lesson, otherwise he will not value me and will treat other women better than me. How am I supposed to live the rest of my life?”

She didn't make any definitive statements because she knew some soldiers were very straightforward.

If you say you have any difficulties, they will very generously help you solve them.

After Lin Yuyao explained, the person opposite her was also quite angry. After cursing a few times, he said angrily, "Fine, let's teach this clueless kid a lesson. He can't even tell whether the women outside are more important or his own marriage is more important. I think he's gone back to his old ways."

Lin Yuyao was moved to tears. "Comrade, thank you so much. Please send it directly to me."

"Okay, I'll send you all the documents directly. It's nothing, don't be polite. I'll send them back to you today. Use this to threaten him and see if he chooses you or that other woman. You brat, you don't know what's important."

After leaving her address, hanging up the phone, and paying, Lin Yuyao finally felt at ease and went home.

Seeing her return empty-handed, her mother, Ye Lian, asked her, "Didn't you say you were going to buy a red bedding set? Why did you come back empty-handed?"

With red eyes, Lin Yuyao parked her bicycle to the side and turned to walk into the house.

Ye Lian, not understanding what was going on, followed her in.

"What's wrong? Tell your mother."

There were many people in the courtyard, and she didn't want to embarrass herself.

As soon as she entered the room, Lin Yuyao hugged her and cried.

"mother……"

The dream felt so real, like she had experienced a lifetime firsthand. The emotions she had been holding back for two lifetimes made her cry incessantly.

"Mother!"

In her dream, she took on the responsibility of supporting the family for Lu Jiangting.

With a sickly father, a blind mother, and two aunts, Lu Jiangting and his wife completely neglect their family.

In addition, there was a sick little girl, and the burden of life weighed heavily on her.

She was originally her parents' youngest daughter, raised in a pampered manner, and never suffered any hardship.

After marrying Lu Jiangting, she suffered the hardships of eight lifetimes.

When she couldn't take it anymore, she even considered divorce.

But there were very few divorces in those days, especially since they were in a military marriage. Lu Jiangting disagreed, and he continued working until his retirement.

She thought to herself that her parents had passed away and her daughter had grown up.

She's already weathered the toughest times, and now that it's time for her to enjoy life, she's unwilling to get a divorce.

Little did they know that the real suffering would begin after Lu Jiangting retired and returned home.

He had suffered for half his life without being able to subdue her, but Fang Qing moved into his house and finally managed to subdue her.

The two were exchanging glances, but Lu Jiangting's constant suppression of her, coupled with her daughter's betrayal, was the final straw that broke the camel's back.

She died from exhaustion.

In her dream, her parents saw how hard she was working and helped her a lot.

Right now, all she can think about is the image of her parents, despite their advanced age, coming to help her with the farm work when there was no time left to cultivate the land.

How could she not cry when she thought about all this?

But her crying terrified her parents.

Hearing her crying, her father, Lin Dawei, also came in.

"What's wrong? Daughter, if someone bullies you, tell your father. Don't let yourself cry it out."
