February 14th, Valentine’s Day.
Lu Man stood at the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau and looked at the slogans playing repeatedly on the electronic screen -
Marriage is risky, so be careful when getting married.
And she married herself on this day that everyone recognized as suitable for marriage.
Married to a man she didn't even know.
-
"Manman, look, this is my eldest grandson."
Grandma Tang, who was dressed in simple clothes, introduced her eldest grandson to Lu Mann with a happy face.
Lu Mann was stunned when she looked at the handsome man with a tall figure and a cold aura standing opposite him.
Is this what Grandma Tang said about her eldest grandson who has difficulty finding a wife when he is over thirty?
Three months ago, she rescued Grandma Tang who was knocked to the ground by a motorcycle on the road.
In order to thank her, Grandma Tang sent her specialties and various delicious delicacies every now and then. Every time she came and went, Grandma Tang treated her like her granddaughter and always mentioned her grandson in front of her.
He said that his eldest grandson worked in a big company and reached the position of manager. Although his annual salary was good, his relationship was rough. He was thirty years old and had not even had a girlfriend.
She also said that she had seven grandsons in total, and except for the two youngest who were still in school, she had never brought home a single grandson-in-law, which made her very worried.
After learning that she had never had a boyfriend over the age of twenty-five, he insisted on introducing her eldest grandson to her.
She refused at first. Although she was twenty-five years old, she did not want to step into the grave of marriage early and give up her dreams to focus on her children and husband every day like her sister.
But a few days ago, my sister and brother-in-law had a big fight because of her -
"Your sister doesn't want to have a good job, but she has to run her little shabby clinic!
She lives in my house, eats in my house, and only needs 2,000 yuan a month for living expenses!
Good for you!
He even gave her money?
Fifty thousand!
Do you think the money I get from working in the hospital comes from the strong wind!
From now on, don’t even think about me giving you another penny! "
She and her sister were orphans and had been dependent on each other since childhood. When her sister got married, she had been living with her.
She officially graduated from medicine in June last year. My sister heard from her brother-in-law that his boss was short of an assistant, so she asked her brother-in-law to take her to have a meal with the boss to get to know her. The boss was very satisfied with her academic qualifications and internship experience. She thought her work would be settled just like that.
Unexpectedly, the leader was a lecherous person who always gave her all kinds of hints. He also called her from time to time to harass her, saying that as long as she was willing, he would arrange for her to join the company immediately.
My brother-in-law seemed to know about this, but he just turned a blind eye.
She didn't dare tell her sister because she was afraid that her sister would quarrel with her brother-in-law because of this, so she gave up the opportunity to work in the hospital.
For this reason, her brother-in-law scolded her for a long time, saying that she didn't know how to commend her, which made him unable to behave in front of the leader!
However, the competition for finding a job in a hospital was too high, and her brother-in-law’s boss always threatened her, saying that as long as he said hello, no hospital would dare to hire her. In desperation, in September last year, she and her classmate and best friend’s boss Promise opened a small clinic together.
Opening a clinic also requires investment, so my sister took out the money left by her parents.
When she was very young, her sister said that her parents left about 200,000 yuan for the two of them to go to school and live. Now there is still about 50,000 yuan left. Her sister has been keeping it without her brother-in-law knowing.
A few days ago, my brother-in-law somehow discovered the bill, and the two got into a big fight.
In fact, she originally wanted to move out of her sister's house and rent a house to live in, but her sister said that it was unsafe for a girl to leave early and come back late in a rented house, so she refused to let her move.
Recently, she happened to be pestered by Grandma Tang to marry her eldest grandson. After careful consideration, she agreed to Grandma Tang's request.
Presumably only by getting married can my sister feel at ease.
Only by getting married can the leader brother-in-law give up completely. Otherwise, the leader brother-in-law would always pester her and she would be very troubled.
Grandma Tang is a romantic person and said it would be commemorative to receive her certificate on Valentine's Day today, so she urged her to come to the Civil Affairs Bureau early in the morning with her household registration book.
But before she met Grandma Tang's eldest grandson, she always thought that a man in his thirties who had a high salary but had never had a girlfriend must have a physical defect or a worrying appearance.
Now it seems that this is not the case...
He seems to be even better looking than the big stars on TV.
So when she first saw it, she was shocked.
"Hello Mr. Tang, I'm Lu Mann."
She slowly stretched out her hand and looked at the cold and expressionless man opposite her with a smile.
The man's emotionless eyes shot at her coldly like X-rays, from top to bottom, making her feel like she was a transparent person in front of him.
After a while, he expressionlessly stretched out his hand to shake Lu Man's hand, and said in a cold voice, "Tang Yu."
Seeing this, Grandma Tang on the side breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Lu Man with a smile and urged: "Manman, there are a lot of people getting certificates today, hurry up and take out the household registration book, you and Ayu will also line up. "
Lu Man nodded and took out the household registration book from his bag.
Her family's household registration book only contains her and her sister. Her sister has been married for three years. In order for her not to be alone, she did not move her household registration to her brother-in-law's house. She is still with her. Today, she secretly took out the household registration book without telling her sister. of.
The two of them arrived at the registration window one after the other and lined up.
Not to mention, there are indeed a lot of people today, probably all to make time for February 14th.
Tang Yu stood behind her, and she always felt as if there was a cabinet air conditioner behind her, and the cold air was whistling.
After waiting in line for about half an hour, it was finally their turn.
When submitting the certificate, Tang Yu suddenly turned to look at her: "Miss Lu, it's still too late to regret it."
Tang Yu hoped that Lu Man would change his mind temporarily, because he didn't want to marry a strange woman he only met once.
Unexpectedly, Lu Man smiled and directly raised his hand to hand the certificate to the staff.
Now that she has decided, she will not change.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to see a hint of ridicule in Tang Yu's eyes.
The whole process took over ten minutes, which was pretty quick.
Looking at the freshly made red marriage certificate, Lu Mann felt like she was in a dream.
Is this marriage?
Once when she was ignorant, she also longed for love, and also thought about marrying a man who was both talented and beautiful and who loved her in the future.
But now, her fantasy has been defeated by reality, and she can only choose to marry a strange man to solve the current dilemma.
Grandma Tang, who was waiting, saw the two of them coming out with a red book each. Her smile became even brighter. She stepped forward and confiscated their marriage certificates.
"Grandma will keep this marriage certificate for you first so that you don't lose it."
