Prank wedding pranks? Little fortune teller remarries military officer in a sweet romance.

Even though Qin Shixiao had experienced a lot, he was still shocked by Wang Jianghai's words.

"Xiao Hu... is he your son with Zhang Chunying?"

He remembered that year when Wang Jianghai brought Xiaohu home, saying that a comrade-in-arms had sacrificed his life and his wife had remarried and did not want the child. Because of that comradeship, he decided to adopt the child.

Because of this, his sister-in-law was unwilling, and the couple had a big fight. He even went to talk to Wang's sister-in-law about it.

Looking back now, he was such a fool. I was even moved by his act of kindness in adopting the orphan of his comrade-in-arms. No wonder his wife, Wang, made such a scene when they divorced; she must have known about this.

"Wang Jianghai, you've been having illicit affairs, hurting your own wife, and even going so far as to frame me by killing your distant relative. Someone like you expects me to raise your child? Dream on!"

Wang Jianghai was stunned. He never expected that Qin Shixiao, who was always willing to help others, would refuse the request of a dying man.

"Qin Shixiao, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this situation. If I leave, the child will be all alone. We've known each other for over ten years, why can't you take care of him?!"

Even the guards nearby couldn't stand it anymore: "You fathered an illegitimate child, forced your wife to divorce you, framed your comrade, and now you want them to raise your son for you? You... do you really think the whole world has to cater to you?!"

Qin Shixiao didn't want to waste any more words with him: "I'm only here to see you one last time because of our past life-and-death friendship. Beyond that, I have nothing more to say. Goodbye!"

Goodbye!

See you again!

Comrades who were once as close as brothers have changed with the passage of time, and things have changed beyond recognition; they can never go back to the way they were before.

Qin Shixiao returned to the guesthouse, feeling very down.

"If he hadn't made any mistakes and had sacrificed himself to defend our country in September, I might have taken care of the child he left behind, just like I took care of Sister Lin. But he..."

Ling Jiuyue comforted him, "What does this have to do with you? It's his and Zhang Chunying's fault. Don't overthink it. Even Zhang Chunying's own mother doesn't seem to care much about her son!"

If she truly cared for the child, she wouldn't have ignored Wang Jianghai's accident and instead had the audacity to meddle in the Qin family's affairs.

"Hmm!" Qin Shixiao ignored Wang Jianghai's matter, grasped Ling Jiuyue's hand, and said reluctantly:

"In September, I... I'm going back to my unit. I'll be leaving soon. If you run into any trouble later, go to the county armed forces department and find Lao Ding. He used to be in the same company as me, and we had a good relationship!"

Ling Jiuyue was taken aback: "Are you leaving so soon?"

Qin Shixiao nodded: "I've been back for almost half a year now. I was supposed to go back to work next month, but there's been a transfer in the military recently. My superiors called yesterday and asked me to return to the unit as soon as possible!"

Ling Jiuyue knew that as a soldier, Qin Shixiao's duty was to obey the army's arrangements, but she was a little reluctant to part with him so suddenly.

This boyfriend isn't very good at sweet talk or charming girls.

But he was calm and thoughtful in the face of adversity, and when he was around, he took good care of her, which made her feel a strange attachment to him.

"Will you come back for Chinese New Year?"

Qin Shixiao shook his head: "No more leave. But, could you come to Huacheng for the New Year? The climate there is pleasant, warm all year round, and it's not far from our military region. I'll show you around then!"

"Okay!" Ling Jiuyue thought of the potential romantic troubles he might face: "But let's make this clear first, I don't like it when someone I like is too ambiguous with others. If you're entangled with other girls, I won't want you!"

Qin Shixiao quickly raised his hand: "Impossible! I swear on my loyalty to the army, I, Qin Shixiao, would never engage in frivolous relationships!"

Ling Jiuyue smiled, her eyes crinkling: "Alright, I was just teasing you!"

Looking into her shimmering eyes, Qin Shixiao said something as if possessed.

"September, may I... kiss you?"

After asking the question, his face instantly turned red. How could he have asked such a vulgar question?

"I didn't mean to... I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous..."

Before he could finish his stammering words, warm lips landed on his cheek, making his ears turn red and causing him to instinctively wrap his arms around her waist.

What should I do if I suddenly don't want to leave? He had been engaged to Cai Lanfang for several years, and he had never felt this blushing, heart-pounding, and uneasy before.

But at this moment, he suddenly didn't want to leave.

He didn't want to go anywhere else; he only wanted to stay where she was.

If Qin Shixiao is going back to the army, he will definitely have to go back to his hometown.

Ling Jiuyue originally wanted to leave Shunzi and Xiao Wu in the yard, but then she thought that since they had both witnessed what happened back then and were terrified, she decided to let them go home first.

"Brother-in-law, could you help me find a few people in the village to go to the city together and fix up that courtyard? That way, we won't have to stay in guesthouses when we come to the city!"

Shunzi instinctively shivered: "September, you...you're really letting us stay there?"

Ling Jiuyue comforted him, "Brother Shunzi, don't worry, nothing will happen again!"

Shunzi thought to herself, "Even if there's nothing wrong, I wouldn't want to stay here. The yin energy is so strong, it's no wonder nothing's wrong."

When Ling Guosheng and Sun Yulan heard that they had bought a courtyard house in the city, they were both excited.

"Why bother hiring anyone? Your dad and I can handle the cleaning. Why waste money? Do you have too much money to burn?"

The Ling family didn't say that Ling Jiuyue bought the courtyard in the city; they only said that Qin Shixiao used his connections to help rent a cheap courtyard.

Upon hearing this, Tian Yunzhen exclaimed, "Your mother is right! Why are you looking for help? You wait here, your sister-in-law and I will go and help you!"

Qin's two sisters-in-law echoed this sentiment: "Your eldest brother is a carpenter, and your second brother is a bricklayer. We can do the repairs ourselves; we don't need to bother outsiders!"

Ling Jiuyue was moved and couldn't help but admire Qin's mother for her foresight. Back then, when they couldn't even afford to eat, she still spent money to send her two sons out to learn a trade.

"Even in drought, skilled craftsmen won't starve. For poor families like ours, we either need to learn a trade or study and join the army; there has to be a way to get ahead!"

Holding Sun Yulan's hand, Qin's mother said with deep remorse, "They say a son-in-law is like half a son. My family couldn't help much with her daughter's relationship with her third son in September, and I feel so bad for you!"

Sun Yulan quickly said, "Big sister, what are you saying? He's protecting the country, not playing around. Besides, with our little bit of land, my husband and I are perfectly fine!"

Her family has no sons, so they haven't had any new additions. They've only lost land, not gained any. They have the least land in the village, so there's really nothing to do.

The two mothers-in-law smiled at each other, each thinking to themselves how wonderful it was to have met such understanding people!

The two mothers-in-law were just having a good time when a wail came from afar...
