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

"I have my older sister to take care of me, so I eat better!" Lin Yinyin said.

"By the way, Aunt Erhua, why are you sitting outside instead of coming in?"

Wang Erhua was a little embarrassed. "I asked the waiter, and it costs one yuan a day to stay here! Da Ni and I decided to wait here for you to come back before we talk about it."

"Alright, let's go. Come back to the military compound with me. I'm living with my sister now; it's spacious enough for us!"

"That's great! I've never lived in a military compound before, I'm really excited!"

Lin Yinyin was about to reach out to help carry the package when she said, "No need, no need! This package is very heavy, I'll carry it!"

"What's inside..."

"Mooncakes! The total is three hundred yuan. I was worried they might get damaged on the way, so I came personally!"

"Auntie, don't be so careful. Once I'm done here, we'll take a train. Next time, once we know the route, we'll use the train for transport!"

"Huh? This will work?"

"Sure, of course! You can keep an eye on Teacher Fu for me, and we'll make some mooncakes to earn a little money!"

"Haha, great, wonderful! I've come to the right place! Just tell me what you need me to do, Da Ni and I have plenty of strength!"

"Okay, now come home with me and we'll have a delicious meal!"

"Okay!"

Lin Yinyin pushed the cart ahead, while Aunt Erhua and Da Ni supported the boxes hanging on the back seat on either side, chatting incessantly about the latest happenings in the village.

Upon arriving at the gate, Lin Yinyin explained the situation to the gatekeeper and asked to bring the two of them in.

The security guard, Xiao Zhang, specifically reminded, "Comrade Lin, guests need to come out during curfew."

Why?

The military has clear regulations. For officers at the battalion level and below, the permitted number of accompanying family members is one; for officers at the battalion level and above up to the regimental level, the maximum is two. Housing and quotas are allocated according to rank. Relatives and friends can visit, but they cannot stay overnight in the barracks; this is a strict rule.

"Okay, I understand." Lin Yinyin didn't expect the military to be so strict.

"Comrade, please provide a letter of introduction!"

"Hey, hey!" Wang Erhua immediately took out a letter of introduction. At the same time, she also handed an envelope to Lin Yinyin.

"This is?"

"Yinyin, the captain asked me to give this to you, saying that I must personally hand it to you."

"Captain?" Lin Yinyin took the envelope with a puzzled look, opened it, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

Inside was her marriage application!

What's going on?

Why would the brigade leader send her a marriage application for no reason?

What surprised her even more was that the name at the end of the application was clearly written as "Lin Huiyin".

Lin Yinyin instantly remembered the marriage application form that Lin Dayong had signed.

She was clearly at the brigade leader's house, and the brigade leader knew her real name!

By this time, Wang Erhua had already checked her hometown information with the gatekeeper, Xiao Zhang. After Xiao Zhang waved her through, she explained.

"When I left, I went to the brigade headquarters to get a letter of introduction for visiting relatives. When the brigade leader heard that I was coming to stay with you, he handed this to me."

He said he was worried you might need it for your wedding here in the military region, so he prepared it for you in advance, saving you the trouble of making a trip back to your hometown.

After a pause, Wang Erhua added, "Yinyin, you don't know, the brigade leader is the kind of person who bullies the weak and fears the strong."

You used to be soft-hearted in the village, and even when Lin Dayong sold you out, you didn't say a word, so the brigade leader naturally didn't interfere.

"But this time is different." Wang Erhua counted on her fingers, "You sent me two letters, each with money, and I brought all these things to seek refuge with you. The battalion commander could tell at a glance that you're doing well in the military region, not the pitiful little thing everyone used to bully. He's doing you a favor on purpose!"

Lin Yinyin instantly understood the key point.

The application form in Lin Dayong's hand was a trap deliberately set by the brigade leader!

If she remains weak-willed and acquiesces to Lin Dayong's arrangement, then the captain will pretend he didn't see it and fulfill Lin Dayong's scheme.

But if she dared to resist, or even cause trouble at the police station, the captain would produce the application form signed "Lin Huiyin" and say that the name on the one in Lin Dayong's hand was incorrect and invalid.

In this way, he wouldn't have to take any responsibility, and he could still curry favor with her, making sure his favor was flawless.

As for this new application, it's likely that she mentioned to the villagers before she left that "her brother-in-law is a battalion commander." The battalion commander guessed that she could make connections in the military region, and with Wang Erhua as an excuse, he simply went along with it and gave her a thorough favor.

"No wonder he's a captain; his mind works faster than anyone else's," Lin Yinyin thought to herself.

But for some reason, she remembered another letter.

Li Jinye's letter.

An idea popped into my head uncontrollably. Should I submit Li Jinye's application?

There are many benefits to getting married!

She can legitimately go to the military hospital for prenatal checkups!

If the status of military dependents is confirmed, the housing problem can be completely solved, and Wang Erhua can move in!

More importantly, the child in her womb will not be judged or gossiped about for being "pregnant out of wedlock" when it is born, and will have a flawless identity.

The more I think about it, the more sense it makes!

Lin Yinyin's heart started beating faster.

But then she suddenly came to her senses. She couldn't make such a big decision on her own.

She needs to discuss it with her older sister, Lin Huizhi, and hear her opinion first.

"Yinyin, why did you stop?" Wang Erhua asked, noticing her standing there in a daze. "Are you tired? Why don't we find a place to rest for a while?"

"It's alright, Aunt Erhua, let's go." Lin Yinyin came back to her senses and put the application form into her pocket.

I had only walked a few steps inside when I ran into the auntie from the courtyard.

"Comrade Lin, have someone come to visit?"

"Yes, my aunt and sister from my hometown came to visit."

"Wow, there are so many bags and packages!"

"Your family back home really dotes on you; they brought so many nice things!"

"That's right, my family treats me very well!"

"Sigh, before, Old Lady Li was gossiping in the courtyard, saying that the Lin family was dirt poor, that their parents were gone and no one cared for them. Now it seems like it was all lies!"

"That's right!" someone chimed in. "Look at how generous Comrade Lin is, with all these gifts—mooncakes and a bicycle! Now that his relatives have received so much, their family must be quite wealthy, right?"

"Who knows? But I bet Old Lady Li might regret it!"

These words drifted into the ears of Zhou Haiming, who had just passed by, and her knuckles turned white as she gripped the cloth bag.

Originally, she was overjoyed to have Lin Huizhi's application, but who knew that when she arrived, Old Lady Li also had a divorce application. It turned out that Lin Huizhi was taking advantage of her!

Five hundred yuan, gone just like that.

She was so angry she almost vomited blood when she found out that Lin Yinyin, that bitch, only asked Old Lady Lin for 30 yuan!

Her money didn't come from thin air!

What's even more infuriating is that Li Jianjun was stunned when he saw her yesterday, repeatedly muttering "I won't get a divorce."

Thinking of this, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.

She had had enough of staying in the guesthouse for two months and was determined to move into the military compound!

Li Jianjun doesn't want a divorce? Then she'll help him "give up the idea"!

Carrying the liquor and snacks she had specially bought, she quickened her pace, heading to Old Lady Li's house to "discuss" the marriage arrangements.
