Chapter 280 Do you want to destroy the bridge after crossing it?
Zhou Cai sat in the passenger seat, thinking back to what Jiang Yiming had said, and asked carefully: "Can you tell me your true identity?"
Jiang Yiming: "A battalion commander of the garrison."
Zhou Cai: "My family used to be farmers. After moving to the city a few years ago, my father and brother became workers. Their identities don't seem to match yours. Anyway, I've already got the leave application, so why don't we forget about getting the marriage certificate?"
Jiang Yiming: "Do you want to cross the river and then destroy the bridge?"
Zhou Cai: "...No, I just feel that we are not familiar with each other, and it is a bit awkward to get a marriage certificate. I believe that with your status, you can definitely find a better and more suitable partner."
Jiang Yiming glanced at Zhou Cai and said coldly, "I admitted in front of so many people that you are my fiancée, and even carried you into the car. My reputation has been ruined.
With the condition I am in, which good woman would dare to marry me?
Now that you're out of trouble, you don't care about my life or death?
You said yesterday that the Zhou family would repay a favor, but you turned against us so quickly?"
Zhou Cai was stunned by what she heard and didn't know how to respond, so she just lowered her head and kept silent.
Jiang Yiming beguiled him, "Didn't I tell you that I still have to participate in the voluntary labor of reclamation and cannot leave in the short term? After I send you home, I will return immediately.
We just get a certificate, nothing else.
My leader sees that I am 28 years old and still unmarried, so he often helps me arrange a marriage. I am almost annoyed by him. After we get the marriage certificate, he will not interfere in my life. I can live a quiet life and serve the motherland wholeheartedly.
I will help you to avenge the bullying you suffered at the hands of the Yu family father and son, in return for helping me out of my urgent need.
Getting a marriage certificate will do both of us good and no harm. Don't hesitate or overthink. Just stay at home and recover. If you run into any trouble, tell me and I'll take care of it."
Zhou Cai was convinced and nodded, saying, "Then we will go ahead and get the marriage certificate as planned, and then don't tell anyone. When you meet a girl you like, we can get a divorce secretly, and it won't affect your marriage."
Jiang Yiming didn't answer, he just drove without looking away...
Passing by the hospital, Jiang Yiming held Zhou Cai for a detailed examination, changed the dressing, and took Zhou Cai to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
Jiang Yiming ordered two meat dishes and a soup, saying that he didn't know how to take care of people and let Zhou Cai do as she pleased.
Seeing Jiang Yiming eating rice quickly, Zhou Cai asked curiously, "Can you cook?"
Jiang Yiming: "No, there are canteens in the army and the compound. You don't have to cook. You just need to go and get food at a certain time."
Zhou Cai: “…”
There were no extra rooms at Zhou's parents' house, and the dormitory at the tax bureau was crowded with people and not much better than the one on the farm. Zhou Cai had no choice but to ask Jiang Yiming to send her to Zhou Rong's.
There are many bamboo poles for drying clothes in the alleys of Chang'anli, and jeeps cannot drive in.
Jiang Yiming parked the car at the entrance of the alley, planning to send Zhou Cai home first and then pick up the luggage.
Seeing that Jiang Yiming wanted to hug her again, Zhou Cai didn't want others to misunderstand or gossip about her, so she suggested walking back by herself.
Jiang Yiming hugged the person and said softly, "Don't be so petty. When changing the dressing just now, didn't the doctor say that your wound has a tendency to get infected?
You have to limp home, the wound will definitely hurt, and it will increase the risk of infection. Since we have reached an agreement, we are nominally an engaged couple. It is my responsibility and obligation for me to hold you."
Zhou Cai couldn't understand why a soldier could be so eloquent.
She couldn't argue with Jiang Yiming, so she had to let him carry her home...
People who were enjoying the cool in the alley saw Zhou Cai being carried back, and they began to whisper and speculate about the relationship between the two.
One of the ladies, relying on her good relationship with Zhou's mother, asked loudly, "Zhou Cai, who is this? He's quite handsome."
Zhou Cai was about to explain that it was a friend, but Jiang Yiming spoke first: "I am Zhou Cai's fiancé. She was bitten by a snake while training on the farm, and I sent her back to recover."
"Has the snake venom been cleared? We need to go to the hospital immediately."
Jiang Yiming: "It's not a venomous snake bite. The doctor has already treated it. Just rest for a while."
"That's great. You're a great guy. When are you going to invite us to your wedding?"
Jiang Yiming: "I will discuss with my parents before we can set a time. Ladies, come and join in the fun!"
"If the Zhou family has a wedding, we will definitely be there."
Seeing that everyone was talking about something else, Zhou Cai gently tugged at Jiang Yiming's clothes and whispered, "Why are you talking about the wedding date with them? Aren't we having a fake marriage?"
Jiang Yiming: "Don't you see that everyone is asking? If I don't answer, they will definitely make wild guesses and say things, which will be bad for our reputation."
Zhou Cai: “…”
Today happened to be Sunday, and Zhou Jiaguang and his friends were on holiday at home. After collecting the mouse tails required by the school, several children played rock-paper-scissors in the lobby. Whoever lost had to hit the others with a palm-leaf fan for five minutes.
Zhou Jiaguang was schemed against by Da Wa and his two siblings and has lost several games in a row.
Just when he was about to renegotiate and change the rules of the game, he saw Jiang Yiming carrying Zhou Cai in his arms: "Third sister, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Yiming answered again: "She was bitten by a snake on the farm, and I sent her back to recover."
Zhou Jiaguang hurriedly brought a chair to Zhou Cai, motioned to Da Wa to pour tea, and asked with concern: "Did you go to the hospital? What did the doctor say?"
Zhou Cai: "It's not a venomous snake. It's nothing serious. Just take a few days to rest."
Jiang Yiming took a few sips of water and said he was going to help Zhou Cai carry her luggage.
Seeing how considerate he was, Zhou Jiaguang asked curiously, "Third sister, who is he?"
When Jiang Yiming heard this question, he answered directly: "I am your third brother-in-law."
Zhou Jiaguang was startled, looking back and forth between Zhou Cai and Jiang Yiming, and asked in astonishment: "Third sister, you got married? When did it happen? Why didn't you tell my family? I haven't even started carrying the tent yet!"
Zhou Cai knocked Zhou Jiaguang on the head and said angrily and amusedly, "I just thought about your red envelope. Go and clean up the room on the first floor for me. I need to rest later."
Zhou Jiaguang knew that he would not get the answer he wanted from Zhou Cai, so he asked Jiang Yiming directly: "Third brother-in-law, when did you get married?"
Jiang Yiming was particularly happy to hear the name "brother-in-law". He smiled and said, "We are not married yet, we just confirmed our relationship. Once I get the marriage report, I will come home to discuss the wedding date with you."
Zhou Cai said anxiously: "What wedding date? Don't talk nonsense."
Jiang Yiming: "Okay, I won't say anything nonsense. I'll listen to you. You take good care of your injuries. I'll go back to the army and come to see you after the marriage report is approved."
After Jiang Yiming left, Zhou Jiaguang asked gossipingly, "Third sister, your brother-in-law said he wants to go back to the army. Is he a soldier? You have good taste!"
By the way, what’s his name? Do you know everything about his family situation? Tell us about it.”
Zhou Cai paused, then she remembered that she forgot to ask about Jiang Yiming's family situation.
Fortunately, the two of them were in a fake marriage, and the situation of the Jiang family had little to do with her...
