The heavens set sail from the courtyard

At 10:00 a.m., Wang Gang and He Wenhui walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau together, each holding a small booklet in their hands.

Yang Maixiang hurriedly ran forward and asked Wang Gang, "Have the formalities been completed?"

Wang Gang laughed heartily and said, "It's all done."

As he spoke, Wang Gang placed the divorce certificate in Yang Maixiang's hand.

Oatmeal couldn't wait to open the divorce certificate, and then a smile appeared on her face.

Now only He Wenhui looked extremely pale.

Oatmeal carefully put away the divorce certificate, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and put it in her bag.

"He Wenhui, thank you." Yanmaixiang bowed deeply to He Wenhui.

"Hmph, no need to pretend, you should be very happy now!" He Wenhui threw the divorce certificate on the ground, which landed right at Wang Gang's feet.

Wang Gang bent down, picked up the divorce certificate, and handed it to He Wenhui.

"Keep this safe; you'll need it for your wedding later," Wang Gang kindly reminded him.

He Wenhui gritted her teeth, snatched the divorce certificate, and ran away.

She was afraid that if she didn't run away soon, the tears in her eyes would burst out.

Wang Gang no longer cared about He Wenhui's feelings and instead asked Yang Maixiang, "Shall we find a place to celebrate?"

Yang Maixiang said, "Aunt Wang told us to go home after we finished the formalities, and she would cook some nice dishes to celebrate."

Wang Gang chuckled and said, "My mom is treating you like her future daughter-in-law."

Yang Maixiang said smugly, "Aunt Wang likes me very much. When I marry into the family, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law should be good."

Wang Gang hugged Yang Maixiang and laughed, "You're so eager to marry me."

Yang Maixiang wrinkled her little nose and said without any embarrassment, "If you didn't want to achieve something at work before getting married, I would love to go in and get our marriage certificate right now!"

Wang Gang said, "Maixiang, don't worry, I will definitely marry you. It's just that I spent too much money on He Wenhui before. I don't want to wrong you, I will definitely marry you in a grand and glorious way!"

Yang Maixiang said urgently, "You may not have money, but I do!"

After saying that, Yang Maixiang blushed a little.

Wang Gang said, "How could I use your money? Don't worry! As long as I win the cooking competition, I can get a better-paying job. I guarantee I can solve all the problems in three months at most."

"Yes, I believe you." Yang Maixiang, feeling secretly pleased, hooked her arm around Wang Gang's and said, "I can wait three months!"

"There's one more thing I need to discuss with you," Wang Gang said after thinking for a moment. "As you know, my mother is currently living with my older brother and sister-in-law. After we get married, to avoid unnecessary conflicts, I'd like to move out."

Yang Maixiang asked, "Can students from the second canteen be assigned housing?"

Wang Gang sighed and said, "This is what I need to confess to you: I am no longer eligible for housing!"

Yang Maixiang asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Wang Gang explained, "When I married He Wenhui, I spent money to build a small house. According to the housing allocation principle, I already own property, so my work unit can't allocate another house to me!"

Yang Maixiang frowned and said, "You mean the apartment you shared with He Wenhui?"

Wang Gang said, "I'll find a way to sell that house and we'll buy a new one for our wedding!"

Yang Maixiang asked suspiciously, "Houses aren't easy to buy and sell, are they?"

Wang Gang nodded and said, "The house buying and selling channels haven't opened yet, so it's not easy to buy or sell. I applied for the property from the neighborhood committee under the pretext of getting married. I pulled a lot of strings and spent a lot of money. It's a house built next to He Wenhui's house!"

Seeing Wang Gang's troubled expression, Yang Maixiang couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Look how nervous you are! Do you think I'm a jealous person?"

Wang Gang praised, "Maixiang, I know you're the most understanding!"

Yang Maixiang said, "Since you already have a house, then let's live there!" Wang Gang asked in surprise, "You don't mind?"

Yang Maixiang shook her head and said, "What's there to worry about? It's better to have a house than not, but the bed you and He Wenhui share must be replaced!"

"No problem," Wang Gang assured him, patting his chest. "I'll throw the bed away after get off work tonight!"

"Although I know that you and He Wenhui didn't have that kind of thing, I don't want the bed she slept in."

Yang Maixiang is indeed very generous and loves Wang Gang very much, but as a woman, she still has some bottom lines.

"Maixiang, you're so good." Wang Gang couldn't help but hug Yang Maixiang and exclaimed.

"No, there are too many people here." Yang Maixiang, concerned about what others thought, pointed to the small park next door and said, "There are fewer people there, and there's a small grove of trees."

Seeing Yang Maixiang's eagerness, Wang Gang would be no man if he refused.

The two quickly slipped into the grove and became intimate, but they did not cross the final line.

It was broad daylight, and although there weren't many people in the grove, it wasn't deserted either. Wang Gang and Yang Maixiang could only hug and cuddle, and touch each other roughly, but they didn't even dare to kiss.

However, Yang Maixiang was certain of one thing: Wang Gang was a very normal and healthy man.

…………

On the other side, He Wenhui ran all the way home, threw herself onto the bed as soon as she entered, and soon the sound of sobbing could be heard from the room.

Hearing the noise, Yu Qiuhua groped her way over and asked, "Wenhui, have you and Liu Hongchang completed the formalities?"

He Wenhui suppressed her grief, wiped away her tears, and said to her mother, "Mom, it's all taken care of."

Yu Qiuhua sighed and said, "Since you're divorced, don't dwell on it. You and Liu Hongchang were never meant to be."

He Wenhui's eyes welled up with tears again. Only now did she realize how much her ex-husband meant to her!
"Mom, I'm hungry. When are we going to eat?" He Wenda, the youngest son of the He family, timidly tugged at Yu Qiuhua's trouser leg.

"There are still some steamed buns at home, let Mom heat them up for you." Yu Qiuhua bent down and took her youngest son's hand.

"More steamed buns!" He Wentao said with a bitter face, "We've been eating steamed buns for every meal for the past two days. When will we be able to eat some meat?"

"It's good enough to have steamed buns to eat," Yu Qiuhua said. "Our family is now relying on your eldest sister's salary, so we need to be frugal in the future."

He Wenyuan said with a bitter face, "Mom, it's not that I necessarily want to eat meat, but I really can't eat steamed buns and pickled vegetables every day."

He Wenhui suggested, "Let me cook some dishes!"

He Wentao asked happily, "Big sister, can you make meat dishes?"

He Wenhui said with difficulty, "We're out of meat coupons at home. I'll definitely buy some meat when I get my salary next month."

He Wentao said with a bitter expression, "Do we have to wait another month to eat meat?"

With drool dripping from his mouth, He Wenda said, "My brother-in-law used to bring meat home every few days!"

“Wen Da,” He Wenyuan said unhappily, “Liu Hongchang is no longer our brother-in-law.”

He Wenda said wistfully, "But when my brother-in-law is home, we can eat meat!"

"Shut up!" He Wenyuan shouted. "You're not allowed to call him brother-in-law anymore. Old Liu doesn't deserve it."

He Wenda was a little scared and hugged Yu Qiuhua's leg, crying, "Mom, I want to eat meat!"

When He Wenda started crying, He Wenhui couldn't bear it anymore.

"Mom, how about I go to Erqing's mom and borrow some meat coupons?"

"Let's forget about it," Yu Qiuhua said. "We don't have much money left at home, and we still have to pay back what we borrowed."

"It's alright, I'll pay it back to Erqing's mom when I get my salary next month." He Wenhui felt that her salary was a bit tight to support her family, but it wasn't so bad that she couldn't afford meat! (End of Chapter)
