Marriage Application
“Our equipment is not the most advanced. The most advanced pregnancy tester can measure the exact time of conceiving.” After taking the checklist and looking at it for a while, the middle-aged male doctor turned on the chat mode with Cheng Jin, and said:” Your physique should be good, the child is stable and there is nothing unusual, but to be on the safe side, you should come over tomorrow for a more comprehensive examination.”
“Oh…” Cheng Jin’s heart was in a mess, and he could only listen to half of what the doctor said, but Cheng Xu was rather calm. He asked: “Are there any restrictions on eating, drinking, and movement? By the way, can he take hot spring?”
“It’s best not to go to the hot springs.” The doctor said seriously: “In other respects, nutritional decoctions may not be enough for the diet. It is best to eat more good and healthy food. If you have difficulties in life, you can ask the neighborhood committee to receive benefits. You guys are new residents, right? I haven’t seen you before.”
Cheng Xu said: “Yes, we have only moved here for more than a month.”
“That’s it.” The doctor smiled gently, “We are good for the welfare of people during pregnancy. There should be fresh nutritious ingredients delivered every day. You can apply for it. And during pregnancy and childbirth, you come to the hospital. All fees are also free.”
“Ah, that’s great.”
The doctor looked at them and curiously said, “May I ask what your relationship is…”
“brother.”
The doctor’s expression became more subtle, “What about his partner?”
Cheng Jin panicked. Fortunately, Cheng Xu didn’t panic. He said in a calm tone: “He doesn’t know about this yet, so it will take a while to tell him.”
“Oh, that needs to be done as soon as possible. It needs to be signed by the other party during production.”
Thanks to the doctors and nurses, Cheng Xu helped the younger brother out of the hospital door. When the cold wind blows, Cheng Jin’s whole person finally wakes up a bit, and then he realizes that his hands are trembling. He looks at the brother beside him, and can’t help but panic: “Brother…”
Cheng Xu said: “we should go back and talk about it.”
After arriving home, Cheng Zheng had also returned. He was sitting in front of the fire with a book and reading, while he was cooking the tea that the neighbor gave him. The whole room was full of fragrance. Seeing that the brothers go out together, he was still a little puzzled, “It’s so late, where have you been?”
Cheng Jin was about to answer. Cheng Xu had already spoken: “There are no seasonings, so I went to the store.”
“Didn’t you buy it?”
“It just happened that it’s empty.” Cheng Xu lied easily.
Cheng Zheng tried his best and complained: “This is not good here. There are too few things and it’s hard to buy anything.”
“That’s right, after all, the economy here is not good.”
After chatting for a few words, Cheng Jin was dragged upstairs by his brother. When he entered his bedroom, Cheng Jin asked, “Brother, why are you lying to Dad? This matter… shouldn’t we tell him?”
Cheng Xu said, “I hope to tell him after you make a decision, otherwise I am afraid that my father’s attitude will affect you.”
“Dad’s attitude?”
Cheng Xu said, “Don’t you think that Dad is used to life here now? He is happy when he goes out and comes back every day, as if he is going to live here for the rest of his life. Moreover, he doesn’t have a good impression of Lu Tao, as long as he knows. In this matter, the only suggestion he’ll tell you is to ask you to find another man to marry.” Cheng Xu’s voice softened, “You have always had no opinion, and I am worried that you will make a choice contrary to your heart because of father’s attitude..”
Cheng Jin smiled bitterly and said softly: “I really don’t have any opinion…” He sat down, slowly took off the hat on his head, and lightly patted the melted snow on it, “But I can’t do it anymore..” Just like the forced marriage at the beginning, if he want him to start again, he will definitely not do that. He will work hard to win the favor of the other party, even if he will not succeed. He’d step back, rather than forcefully grab something that shouldn’t belong to him.
“Seven years, I have forced him for too long.”
Cheng Xu touched his head, and after a while, he said, “Then find someone to fake marriage.”
Cheng Jin was stunned, staring at him blankly, “Fake marriage? is it possible?”
“It can be.” Cheng Xu looked very determined. “Since the promulgation of this decree, the provision of fake marriage partners has formed a small industry. Of course it is illegal, but as long as the two parties sign a contract in private, Who can find the loopholes?”
Cheng Jin was originally prepared to find someone to marry, but he didn’t expect that there was still such a way to go. “Is that okay? Will it be hard to find a candidate?”
Cheng Xu touched his face and smiled slightly: “I’ll deal with it, you just need to stay at home.”
Cheng Jin’s words made Cheng Jin relieved and nodded quickly.
Cheng Xu moved quickly, and after a week, he brought an unfamiliar man. Before that, Cheng Jin’s pregnancy was also confessed to his father. As expected, his father’s attitude was exactly the same as his brother had guessed. He was very resistant to his remarrying with Lu Tao, but hoped that he could find a new man in the local area. After the “fake marriage”, there was no objection, but rather agreed. He said: “We can afford to have a child. From now on, he will be the child of our Cheng family, and we will have a future in our family.”
The man Cheng Xu brought back was a local. When he first came in, he was a little timid, his face was red with cold. When he saw Cheng Jin, he was taken aback, and he quickly showed a sense of shyness. He smiled. Cheng Jin quickly poured hot tea, and then let him sit in the warmest position. The boy sat shyly, waited for a sip of hot tea, and said: “Hello.”
Cheng Jin smiled and said, “Hello.” He quickly brought out the cookies he had just baked for him to eat. When the boy saw the plate of sweet cakes and smelled the sweetness, his eyes widened. After hesitating, he stretched out his hand and took a piece, and ate it as if it was something precious.
Cheng Xu took off his thick coat and gave an introduction: “His name is Ma Yuan, a plumber in the town next door. He has just reached the age of marriage this year.”
“He’s only 18 years old?” Cheng Jin was a little surprised. “Isn’t he too young?”
“I, I’m not young, I can get a marriage certificate!” Ma Yuan hurriedly said, his expression also showing eagerness, as if he was afraid that Cheng Jin would be dissatisfied.
“Ah…” Cheng Jin couldn’t say anything about his appearance. Cheng Xu sat down and explained: “If you have been married a few times, then apply for marriage. The review will be stricter. If he is, it will be easier to pass. And he also agreed. Wait until you give birth to the child for six months. After that, he will apply for a divorce, and there will be no relationship in the future. He is willing to sign an agreement in private, without living together, after receiving the permit, he only needs to come forward when you gave birth.”
Ma Yuan nodded quickly, “Yes, I, I will never do anything to entangle you, please be rest assured.”
“Fake marriage” is of course risky. I’m afraid that the other party will not leave when the other party is approaching. The lion opens his mouth and needs more property, or commits offensive behavior within the marriage, because in this case, even legal proceedings will not be good.
There have been many social incidents.
Cheng Jin is of course relieved about his brother’s choice. He said, “Okay, I believe you.”
Cheng Xu went to draft a private agreement, leaving two people in the living room. Cheng Jin looked at the other party’s very restrained look, and from time to time his eyes fell on the plate of cookies that had been taken, and he said: “You can eat it, it’s okay if you eat it all.”
“Thanks, thank you.” Ma Yuan tried not to take it, but asked: “Then I can take two yuan back?” He watched Cheng Jin stunned, thinking he disagrees, and hurriedly said: “I , I want to take it back to my mother and sister to eat, especially my sister, she has not eaten such delicious food.”
Cheng Jin looked at the other party’s pure eyes, his heart was a little sour, and he smiled slightly: “Wait later, I will pack some for you. You can eat all of these first.”
After hearing these words, Ma Yuan finally ate the cookies again, not knowing if it was because he was hungry or because the cookies were really delicious, he ate it hungrily. Cheng Jin saw that his clothes were a bit ragged, and his family was not so good that he agreed, and chose to betray his first marriage. He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Cheng Xu wrote the agreement, Ma Yuan signed his name on it, and then asked: “When will I go to apply for marriage?”
Cheng Xu said: “Tomorrow.”
On the contrary, Cheng Jin was a little surprised, “Isn’t it too fast?”
Cheng Xu said, “You already have a stomachache, of course, the sooner the better.”
Cheng Jin had no objections. Before Ma Yuan left, Cheng Jin handed him a large package of cookies and a sweater. Seeing the other party’s doubts, Cheng Jin said, “This dress was woven for my father before, but it’s small in size, so you can wear it.”
“Really? This looks so warm…” The young man’s eyes were pleasantly surprised.
Cheng Jin smiled slightly and said, “Well, you can put it on now. It’s quite cold outside. It should be warmer with this one.”
“Thank you, really…thank you.” Ma Yuan should be really cold. After all, his coat doesn’t look warm enough. After taking off his coat, the exposed jacket looks a little thin. He put on the sweater carefully. The dark gray sweater was unexpectedly suitable for him, and it also made him look a little better.
“It’s so warm.” Ma Yuan happily didn’t know what to do, and didn’t dare to touch it with his hands. He looked at Cheng Jin again, with all his gratitude in his eyes, “Thank you.”
Cheng Jin was a little unaccustomed to being thanked in this way, but this feeling was not bad at all.
After Ma Yuan left, Cheng Jin asked his elder brother, only to realize that the cost of the fake marriage was also very low, so low that he was a little embarrassed. The thoughts in his heart were expressed on his face. Cheng Xu squeezed his face and said, “Now let’s take your sympathy first, we don’t make much money. When it gets better in the future, we will give him some compensation.”
Cheng Jin nodded slightly, and said: “This planet… is really too poor.”
Cheng Xu said: “So I have to work hard to develop it.”
When the time for the fake marriage was set, Cheng Jin was not without suffering, but every time he had an idea that he shouldn’t have, his reason suppressed it severely. He closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep, and tell himself that this was the best choice, and he could not make mistakes again and again, so that he could slowly fall asleep.
The next day, his brother took him to the office in the city center early, and Ma Yuan was already waiting there. The marriage application window of Geothermal Planet is artificial, unlike the Empire Planet, you only need to apply online. They waited for a long time before the staff came to work, and only the two of them handled it, so naturally, they sat in front of the window.
After asking them if they came to go through the marriage formalities, the staff first asked Ma Yuan’s ID number. The ID number is owned by every human being in the world. This is a code unique to oneself. It is owned from birth and will not be cancelled until death.
“Just turned eighteen? Looks very impatient.” The staff joked that the geothermal planet has a small population and simple hearts.
Ma Yuan’s face flushed, and he looked shy, and he didn’t even dare to say much.
The staff smiled, and said to Cheng Jin: “Tell me your ID code.”
Cheng Jin squeezed his fingers, said a series of numbers, and watched the other person tapping on the keyboard one by one. Recalling that when he applied for marriage with Lu Tao, his heart felt sore, and he quickly ordered himself to pull out.
It was not a beautiful memory, so it would make his heart ache.
In fact, thinking about it now, between him and Lu Tao, except for the period of time when he was poisoned, there was not even a good memory in the rest of the time.
Therefore, letting go is the best choice.
Taking a deep breath, when Cheng Jin thought he would hear “It’s done”, the staff member showed a surprised expression at the computer screen. After a few seconds, he looked at Cheng with strange eyes. Sincerely, said: “Mr. Cheng, you can’t get married again.”
“Why?” Cheng Jin didn’t understand. The first thought was that their fake marriage was seen through by the other party.
The staff moved the screen to his side so that Cheng Jin could see the writing on it clearly. “The query shows that your marriage is still in effect. If you want to marry Mr. Ma, you need to submit a divorce application first and when it’s approved then we can go through the process.”
“Effective?” Cheng Jin was stunned, with disbelief in his pupils. The screen is indeed full of his marriage information, and in the row of the spouse column, the name “Lu Tao” is clearly displayed. Cheng Jin squeezed his fingers and tremblingly said, “Maybe… the system is wrong? I have clearly applied for divorce, and in my case, it is impossible to be rejected…”
