Chapter 25: Chapter 025 Finally Got the Marriage Certificate

```

——————

Zhang Shan Ni had just been chastising herself internally for acting impulsively when Xie Jingchen approached her, his face set in a stern expression, and said to her with an innocent look as if he was laying down an edict:

"Little girl, you're not allowed to come here again without me accompanying you!" Xie Jingchen didn't know that the sudden appearance of these untiring wild animals had been intentionally lured by Zhang Shan Ni using her spiritual power. He only thought that this was deep in the mountains and wilderness, where in recent years, no villagers had embarked on large-scale hunts, allowing the wildlife to breed rapidly and become plentiful and fearless of humans!

Today they were lucky that what arrived were small animals like hares and pheasants. What if venomous snakes, wild boars, or bears had shown up?

After all, the place where they were could be considered close to the Primitive Mountains, and what people fear most in life are the 'what ifs'.

Although there have never been reports of large animals approaching Daqing Mountain over these years, there have still been signs of wild boars and Wolves, which makes the mountains truly unsafe! And it's definitely not a place for a frail little aunt like Zhang Shan Ni to venture into.

"Mm-hmm, I won't come." Zhang Shan Ni touched her nose and obediently nodded, then continued leading the way for Xie Jingchen, "Brother Chen, why don't you give me a bag, and I'll help you carry something?"

"No need." Xie Jingchen refused. She was already petite enough; how could he let her carry a hundred or so pounds of game through the mountainous paths? He was not that weak.

"Oh." Having her offer to help turned down, Zhang Shan Ni could only lead the way to get back onto the right path. After another twenty minutes or so, they finally saw the large brick buildings at the foot of the mountain, "Brother Chen, look, we've arrived!"

After rushing through the mountain roads for nearly an hour and using spiritual power, sweat beaded on Zhang Shan Ni's face. Moreover, it was only mid-September, and the daytime sun was still quite fierce.

"Let's go, it's almost nine o'clock. We'll sell the game first, then go get our marriage certificate," Xie Jingchen glanced at Zhang Shan Ni. He was used to seeing her sun-tanned face, so he didn't find her unattractive anymore.

Especially now, her face was flushed with a healthy glow, her features were even quite delicate, her eyes big and lively, her lips red and moist, her nose may not be as straight as his, but it was rounded and fleshy, and her shoulder-length hair would occasionally reveal her plump earlobes as she tossed her head, which made him look on with avid interest.

Xie Jingchen pursed his lips and led the way in silence to an old acquaintance's place to sell the game. He also called his eldest sister to tell her to come back for the wedding banquet before heading back to the town center's civil affairs office.

With connections in high places, everything goes smoothly. With Xie Jingchen around, the two of them quickly completed all the procedures.

Holding a slim booklet that wasn't even a thirty-two open size, with no photo inside, only the bold names, and the required regulatory terms, Zhang Shan Ni finished swearing an oath to the party flag, and the process was over, very simplified, and didn't even require any silver! [In some areas, marriage certificates have photos, but remote areas do not]

In this era, getting married really doesn't require a large payment of silver! She had always thought while reading history books that this must be somewhat fictional, only to find out it was actually true!

It should be noted that by the time she got married, due to the need to control the divorce rate, it had been stipulated that a couple had to pay 999 yuan, meant to symbolize 'forever and ever'—a good sign!

In the 1990s, marriage only cost nine yuan, but by their generation, the cost had increased one hundred and eleven times! And originally in ancient times, getting married didn't require any silver at all! Truly mind-blowing.

"Ah!" The pregnant woman, startled by this unexpected turn of events, clutched her stomach and stumbled two steps back, looking like she was about to fall. Xie Jingchen, who was a few seconds behind, managed to steady the pregnant woman in time, "Comrade, how are you?" freewebnovel.cσ๓

"Ouch! It hurts so much!" The woman who had been hit by the basket sat on the ground, rubbed her elbow, found it was not seriously damaged, and then quickly stood up, propped up the bicycle, and furiously confronted Zhang Shanni, pointing at her and yelling:

"What's wrong with you, you hick? Are you blind? And you dare to throw the basket at people, do you have no decency?!"

Zhang Shanni was about to turn around when she got scolded by the person involved. She retorted without hesitation, "Who are you calling a hick? You yourself rode your bike without looking at the road and dare to blame others first?! Did your conscience get eaten by dogs?"

"You disgusting hick you—what!"

Lin Aihong had just started to retort when she suddenly caught sight of a pregnant woman with a large belly being supported by a tall man behind the "hick" woman. Seeing the pregnant woman's pained expression, she realized from directly across that the condition of the pregnant woman was not good; her face was pale, and most importantly, her blue pants were already stained with blood!

Lin Aihong was completely petrified by the horrific scene in front of her; her sharp female voice went mute, and her eyes widened in horror. Her face turned from angry red to ashen.

For a girl who had never killed a chicken or seen blood, suddenly seeing a pregnant woman covered in blood was enough. That she didn't faint was a good thing!

However, at this moment, it was only the support of the bicycle that kept Lin Aihong from collapsing to the ground.

Watching the hick who had thrown her basket earlier ignore her and instead turn to attend to the pregnant woman, Lin Aihong felt no gratitude—she was just shaking inside, wishing she could disappear right there and then.
