A lonely, unlucky military officer with a stubborn fate insisted on marrying me.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, the two sisters woke up. They looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

Both of their eyes were swollen like walnuts, but the gloom that used to linger in their eyes was gone, replaced by an astonishing brightness.

"Sis, how did I do last night?"

"You!" Lin Huizhi gently tapped her forehead. "You're really brave!"

Lin Huizhi still feels lingering fear when she thinks about last night.

Last night, Li Jianjun banged on the door with a stick and questioned her, but Lin Yinyin was not intimidated at all. She put her hands on her hips and asked back, "Brother-in-law, if you have time to throw a tantrum here, why don't you hurry up and take Aunt Li to the hospital?"

The person has already fainted, and you're still standing here. Have you finally realized that your mother is a burden and are now taking the opportunity to abandon her?

This is your own mother! How can you be so heartless? Aunt Li has such a hard life; how could she have given birth to such an unfilial son like you!

Li Jianjun was completely dumbfounded.

This kind of moral blackmail sounds so familiar to him. But he also understands that taking his mother to the hospital is indeed the most important thing.

So they immediately sought help from their comrades and sent Grandma Li and the frightened Li Jianying to the hospital.

Lin Huizhi let out a breath, her eyes hardening. "Yinyin, come on, let's go to the cafeteria for breakfast. When I get off work tonight, we'll pack our things and then find a place to move!"

"Sis! You've finally decided to get a divorce!"

Lin Yinyin was so excited she almost jumped up.

"Yes, divorce!"

Lin Huizhi nodded vigorously, "I don't want to live like this for another day."

I need to go to work today. Tomorrow we'll look for a place to live. Once we've moved out and settled down, I'll tell him I want a divorce!

"Great!"

Lin Yinyin was overjoyed, but then she suddenly remembered her space and quickly said, "Sis, I still have the sponge cakes I bought. You go to work first, don't worry about me."

As she spoke, she grabbed a handful of dates from her pocket and stuffed them into Lin Huizhi's hand, saying, "These are good for replenishing qi and blood. Take them and eat them on the road."

After Lin Huizhi left, she entered the space again.

I ate two steamed buns, a large chicken leg, and drank two bowls of chicken soup, and that was my breakfast.

After eating and drinking her fill, she got up and went to check on the vegetable garden.

The crops in the space were growing well. The potato vines that had just sprouted had grown to the height of her calves, and the bean sprouts had grown to a span long. She began to water them.

"Tap tap—" A chubby white rabbit came running over.

It gently rubbed its head against her trouser leg, its fluffy tail tickling her.

Lin Yinyin chuckled and squatted down, reaching out to stroke its smooth fur: "Are you being affectionate again?"

She originally intended to slaughter and roast the rabbit, but after spending time with it, she found that Da Bai was exceptionally sensible.

It would eat right from the first cabbage in the room, and even when it defecated, it would dig a hole next to the first cabbage and bury its droppings there, making it even easier to care for than a dog. So she gave up the idea of ​​eating rabbit meat and let it roam freely in the space.

Not far away, a black rabbit was also munching on vegetables, specifically the leftover leaves from Big White's meal.

Seeing Lin Yinyin looking over, he immediately shrank back warily.

Lin Yinyin sighed, "The rabbits I bought on the black market are a bit timid! But they're all well-behaved, so I'll just let them roam freely. It won't be a hassle anyway."

After watering all the vegetable plots, she changed into clean clothes and went straight to Aunt Zhuang's house from outside the space.

She wanted to ask if she could rent a house in the compound.

"Yinyin, it's not that your aunt doesn't want to help you."

After hearing her purpose, Aunt Zhuang looked troubled and sighed as she explained, "The military family housing is strictly regulated. It can only be allocated to the immediate family members of active-duty soldiers. There is one unit per household, and there are very few spare rooms."

Even if there are a few vacant rooms, they are reserved for newly married young military officers and are not rented out to the public.

She paused, then added, "And as you know, the compound is strictly managed. Anyone who isn't a military family member can't stay there permanently. You stayed at Lin Huizhi's house before because you were a military family member. If you wanted to rent a room on your own, you couldn't even rent to a village outside the compound without the military's approval; they basically don't rent to outsiders."

Lin Yinyin had already expected this, so she wasn't too disappointed. She smiled and thanked Aunt Zhuang, saying, "Thank you, Auntie. I was just asking, nothing else."

After saying that, she turned and left the courtyard.

Since we can't rent anything in the compound, let's go check out the village.

She remembered that there was a village called Weijiang not far from the military base.

As soon as she entered the village, she met an older woman carrying a vegetable basket. "Hello, ma'am, could you tell me where the village chief lives? I'd like to rent a house."

The people of Weijiang Village are always particularly enthusiastic about people related to the military region. As soon as the aunt heard this, she immediately led her to the east end of the village.

"Looking to rent a house? Just look for our old village chief!"

However, our village has strict rules, so I can't guarantee whether we can rent it out.

Following the woman to the village chief's house, Lin Yinyin explained her purpose. The village chief tapped his pipe and asked, "You said you wanted to rent two rooms?"

"Yes, village chief."

Lin Yinyin sat up straight, not daring to mention her sister's desire for a divorce.

In this day and age, divorce is not a respectable thing, and people are afraid of attracting criticism, so they can only announce it in their own name.

"I came to stay with my sister in the military compound, but her house is too crowded. She has a seriously ill mother-in-law to take care of, and her sister-in-law also lives with her. There is really no room available, so I thought I would rent a room on my own to avoid causing trouble for my sister."

The village chief took another puff of his cigarette. "It's not that I don't want to rent it to you, it's just that the rules don't allow it."

Household registration is very strict now; our village never accepts tenants from outside the village, and there has never been such a precedent before.

"Village chief, we're not outsiders!" Lin Yinyin quickly explained.

She even took out a pre-prepared letter of introduction from her bag and handed it over, saying, "My sister is a military wife in the military compound, and my brother-in-law is also in the military. This is my letter of introduction; please take a look."

The village chief took the letter of introduction, then handed it back, his tone still resolute: "Hey! Child, even this won't do."

Military district management is very strict, and our village is adjacent to the military district, so we have to be even more rigorous.

This area is a key zone within a 10-kilometer radius. If any bad elements manage to infiltrate, it will be a huge problem.

"We, the people of Weijiang Village, have to shoulder this responsibility since we're here to protect this land."

Lin Yinyin frowned as she listened; the village chief certainly had a strong sense of patriotism.

"Village chief, if you're worried, I can get an official certificate from the military region to prove our identities! My brother-in-law is a battalion commander; he holds a high position in the army. We're really not bad elements!"

"That won't work either."

The village chief placed his pipe on the table, his attitude unwavering. "Rules are rules, and they cannot be broken."

Lin Yinyin cursed "old stubborn man" inwardly, then decided to try a different approach, holding up two fingers: "I'll pay! Two yuan a month, that's enough to rent a room in town!"

The village chief didn't even lift his eyelids: "No way!"

"Five yuan!" Lin Yinyin gritted her teeth and raised the price. "Five yuan a month, I'll pay for three months upfront!"

"No way!" The village chief's tone remained firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

Just then, the village chief's wife came in from outside carrying two cups of hot water.

She placed the water glass in front of Lin Yinyin and said, "Girl, don't get angry with him. My husband is just that stubborn." She turned and glared at the village chief before explaining to Lin Yinyin, "Our Weijiang Village was built during the War of Resistance against Japan."

At that time, most of the men in the village went to the battlefield and sacrificed their lives. The remaining orphans and widows came together and that's how the village came to be.

Over the years, we've relied entirely on the army for support. They've delivered rice and grain to us during holidays, and helped us repair houses and pave roads. So everyone in our village knows we have to protect this land and not cause any trouble for the army.

Lin Yinyin understood, and her anger dissipated.

She stood up and gave the elderly couple a slight bow: "Thank you, aunties, I understand. I'm sorry to have bothered you." Then...

She stormed off in a huff.

She wasn't angry because of the old village chief's old-fashioned ways, but because renting a house these days is really not easy!
