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

"No, sister! It's really not!" Lin Yinyin reached out to wipe away her tears.

"Li Jinye and I aren't just settling; we genuinely want to be together!"

"Then why did you suddenly get married?"

Lin Huizhi, wiping away her tears, pressed on, "Didn't you say before that you were holding back his marriage application?"

"He came back yesterday!"

"What?" Lin Huizhi was even more alarmed upon hearing this. "You two stayed together yesterday?"

"No, ma'am, nothing happened yesterday, please don't misunderstand!"

"Then why the sudden marriage? Where is Li Jin, the savage?"

"Uh, they left again early this morning!"

Lin Huizhi burst into tears even more fiercely after hearing this!

"How can you treat marriage like a game? I've had a failed marriage, fine, but how could you...?"

"Sister, my dear sister!" This was the first time Lin Yinyin had ever seen her sister cry so much.

"Sister, actually Li Jinye likes me quite a bit."

He's a really nice person. Although he seems aloof, he's always quietly doing things for my benefit.

Every time, they manage to plan out exactly what I haven't said aloud, what I want, in advance.

Lin Huizhi agreed with this point. It was obvious to everyone that Li Jinye cared deeply for her sister. But even if she agreed, she still thought, "Even if he's good to you, you can't just get married like that, can you?"

"Sis, it's not like she's just casual!"

"What's wrong?"

Lin Yinyin recounted how Li Jinye stayed up late and bothered Chi Peng, how Chi Peng bothered the master chef to prepare red eggs, and how Political Commissar Huang bothered the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

"Sister, when Li Jinye left, he said goodbye to Brigade Commander Zheng and Regiment Commander Gao, asking them to take good care of me..."

Lin Huizhi: "..." So many things happened that night! Li Jinye's actions are truly indescribable!

Even so, she still felt sorry for him.

"Even if Yinyin is sincere, you should still discuss it with me first..."

Lin Yinyin bit her lip, took her sister's hand, and gently pressed it onto her lower abdomen.

"Sis, I'm... pregnant."

Lin Huizhi's body jolted violently.

She looked at her sister in disbelief.

Tears still clung to her face, her mouth opened and closed repeatedly.

So, was the old Chinese medicine doctor's diagnosis true that day?

Her sister not only secretly got married, but she's also pregnant!

"Sister, Li Jinye actually doesn't know about the child yet!"

So, Lin Yinyin told Lin Huizhi about how she had forced herself on Li Jinye.

"My poor sister!" She reached out and hugged Lin Yinyin.

"I don't know whether to scold you or feel sorry for you. You forced yourself on a man and got pregnant. How are you going to manage to become a mother at such a young age? Giving birth is not an easy thing!"

"I know, sis, they're already here. Let's just go with the flow, hehe!"

"them?"

"Yes, the doctor said I'm having multiple pregnancies!"

As soon as Lin Yinyin finished speaking, Lin Huizhi got off the ground.

"Sis, where are you going?"

"I'll make you a yam and lean pork soup; it's good for replenishing your qi and blood."

Lin Yinyin smiled as she watched her busy figure.

It's so nice to have an older sister like that.

Lin Huizhi's movements attracted Wang Erhua's attention.

When Wang Erhua heard that Lin Yinyin was married and pregnant, her surprise was almost the same as Lin Huizhi's. Both of them were stunned for a long time.

Fortunately, Lin Dani reminded her to help Lin Huizhi make yam and lean pork soup, and also steamed a lot of dates, peeling them little by little, intending to make date paste cake for Lin Yinyin.

It was an hour later when Lin Yinyin finished drinking the yam and lean pork soup.

When she saw her older sister still offering her jujube paste cake, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"My dear sister, I'm about to burst from overeating."

I ate two bowls of rice for dinner, drank two bowls of soup just now, and ate an apple. I really can't eat any more jujube paste cake. Can I eat it tomorrow?

"Alright. You should eat one piece of this jujube cake every day. Oh, and I'll buy you a chicken tomorrow so we can make a chicken soup with goji berries and jujubes."

Lin Yinyin: "..." Hmm, the little one in her belly will be even stronger in the future!

"Alright, my sister, let's go to Commissar Huang's house to retrieve Li Jinye's bankbook."

As she spoke, she took her sister's arm and, carrying the prepared gifts, quickly walked to Commissar Huang's house.

The door opened after only two knocks, and stood a woman in her thirties with short hair neatly tucked behind her ears. She wore a crisp blue shirt and had bright, clear eyes, giving the impression of a capable and efficient person.

Tsai Chin looked at the two of them and immediately said, "Oh my, this must be Comrade Lin Huizhi! We've met before."

Lin Huizhi felt a little embarrassed because the old lady Li's fuss about the wasteland had alarmed Political Commissar Huang's wife.

"Hello, sister-in-law, this is a small token of our appreciation."

Tsai Chin smiled immediately upon seeing the red-shelled eggs in the basket. She looked at Lin Yinyin and said, "This must be Comrade Lin! I've been hearing your name all day! Come on in!"

Lin Yinyin felt a little embarrassed by her gaze, guessing that Li Jinye's staying up to find Political Commissar Huang had woken up his wife as well.

So she blushed and nodded, "Hello, sister-in-law."

"Okay, okay, okay."

After the two sisters sat down, Tsai Chin looked at Lin Hui-chih and comforted her, "I've heard about what happened between you and Li Jianjun."

You made the right choice!

That old lady Li is a bad person; the sooner you divorce her, the sooner you'll be free.

She worked on the neighborhood committee, so she knew everything about the neighborhood's residents, especially the awful old lady Li, who had long been a topic of private discussion among the committee members.

Lin Huizhi felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this, and her eyes welled up with tears: "Thank you for your understanding, sister-in-law."

At this moment, Political Commissar Huang came out of the study, holding an envelope and a piece of paper in his hand.

"It's perfect that both Comrade Lins are here."

As he spoke, he first looked at Lin Yinyin and handed her the envelope, "Comrade Lin, congratulations on your marriage to Li Jinye!"

"Thank you, Political Commissar." Lin Yinyin accepted the gift with both hands.

"This is all the savings that Li Jinye entrusted to me for safekeeping. Please keep it safe."

Political Commissar Huang then turned to Lin Huizhi and handed her another small red notebook, saying, "And Comrade Dalin, this is for you."

Lin Huizhi took it in surprise, opened it, and the three bright red words "Divorce Certificate" burned into her heart.

"This is... a divorce certificate?"

Yesterday, Li Jianjun said he would never get a divorce, and now it's all settled so quickly.

Also, why is the divorce certificate not at the Civil Affairs Bureau, but with Political Commissar Huang?

Political Commissar Huang seemed to notice Lin Huizhi's confusion, so he explained, "This divorce certificate was handled by the military, following a special internal procedure."

"Can the military handle divorces?" Lin Yinyin asked in confusion.

Cai Qin brought over a plate of melon seeds and replied with a smile, "It's not your fault if Comrade Xiao Lin doesn't know. This procedure is generally used when military officers have problems with their conduct or when they have special circumstances that prevent them from going to the civil affairs department in person."

Late last night, Li Jianjun went to the military office to find Lao Huang, his eyes red, and handed him a divorce petition, saying he was determined to divorce him.

"Did he bring it up himself?"

Lin Huizhi was even more surprised. Yesterday during the day, that person seemed determined to drag things out to the end. What's going on?
