I was married off to a disabled hero in lieu of marriage; my in-laws doted on me and I aspired to gr

The next morning, Lin Jie went home.

Since the argument over that bowl of shredded potatoes, Lin Jie has basically stopped staying at home overnight. He either goes to his parents' house or spends the night in the duty room at his workplace.

"Here's five hundred yuan. Count it and go get the paperwork done," Lin Jie said calmly.

"I...have to go to work, how about tomorrow?"

Han Dan suddenly felt a little sorry for the man in front of her. What would he do after the divorce?

"No need, I've already asked for leave for you, and I've also gotten the certificate from your workplace for you." Lin Jie said expressionlessly.

"Lin Jie, how about... if you could change your temper, I'd still be willing to stay with you."

"Want to live with me? Han Dan, I don't want to. Go to my workplace and see for yourself. Even the old lady who cleans the toilets talks about me behind my back. The whole factory knows I'm a eunuch, and you're the one who's been wronged."

I can't stay with you any longer. I'm wasting your precious youth, and I, Lin Jie, will be the murderer. Hurry up and leave, stop dawdling."

Because of his divorce, Lin Jie was ridiculed and gossiped about, but he never explained himself.

If he's impotent, no one will suspect him of having an extramarital affair, and he can protect Zhang Man.

"Lin Jie, you really don't know what's good for you. If Li Hongxia hadn't come to persuade me yesterday, who would have taken pity on you? Fine, let's get a divorce. Do you think all men are dead and you still have to stay with me?"

Lin Jie's words successfully angered Han Dan, who picked up her canvas bag, and the two went to the bus stop one after the other.

Li Hongxia is such a busybody.

Lin Jie cursed Li Hongxia the whole way.

Divorced! Finally divorced! Holding the divorce papers, Lin Jie breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"Lin Jie, I haven't found a place to live, so I can't move out for the time being," Han Dan said imposingly.

"Okay, take your time moving it, I'm not in a hurry."

You can stay in that house. I'm moving to the cadre housing soon, and the unit's logistics department will kick you out then, Lin Jie thought with a sneer.

"Lin Jie, go home for lunch. I'll cook you another meal."

Seeing how understanding Lin Jie was, Han Dan softened.

He was her ex-husband after all. Now that they're divorced, she should cook him one last meal.

"No need, I have other things to do, you can go back by yourself."

Lin Jie, panting over the divorce papers, caught the bus. He was going to find his godmother and tell her that he was going to marry Zhang Man.

Lin Jie left, and Han Dan was secretly pleased. She didn't have to move out for the time being, and she still had five hundred yuan in her hand. What a wonderful life!

When I arrived at Zhang's house, it was already 10 a.m. Surprisingly, Zhang Li was home.

"Why aren't you going to school?" Lin Jie asked, frowning.

"My family's affairs are none of your business," Zhang Li said, still with a cold expression.

Does your sister know?

"If you dare tell my sister, don't even think about setting foot in my house again."

At fifteen, one is at the age of stubbornness.

"Come to the east room, I have something to tell you and your godmother."

Zhang Li refused to listen, so Lin Jie lifted him up with one hand and carried him to the east room.

"Comrade Lin, what's wrong? Did you get angry with Zhang Li?" Aunt Zhang asked, puzzled.

Lin Jie took out the divorce papers from his pocket and said, "Godmother, I'm divorced."

"Why...why?" Aunt Zhang asked in surprise.

"Our marriage was based on mutual benefit, with no emotional foundation. We were together for over two years, and apart from money, she never cared about me."

"Have you ever cared about her?" Zhang Li sneered. "You're only belittling your wife so you can be with my sister, aren't you?"

Ignoring Zhang Li's rebuttal, Lin Jie said to Aunt Zhang, "Godmother, I want to take care of you, Zhang Li, and Zhang Man."

"This..." Aunt Zhang was quite surprised. Comrade Lin's thoughts were actually on his daughter.

"I don't need you to take care of me. I'll go find a job after the high school entrance exam," Zhang Li said loudly.

"Zhang Li, you mustn't be rude."

Aunt Zhang quickly weighed the pros and cons. Apart from being a bit old and missing an arm, Lin Jie was pretty good.

Just the fact that he brings lunch to me every day shows a level of dedication that not everyone can do.

Picking up the divorce papers, Aunt Zhang looked at them again and again, then asked, "Are you really divorced?"

"Um!"

"If Manman is willing, then I am too. It's just that our family is a burden to you," said Aunt Zhang.

"I won't be a burden. From now on, Manman and I will take care of you together. She won't have to rush home to cook after work anymore, and she won't have to rush back to school in the middle of the night to grade homework."

"Manman has suffered so much." Aunt Zhang felt a pang of sadness. Zhang Man is good, but no one dares to marry her.

Comrade Lin is thoughtful and considerate, making him the best choice for a son-in-law.

Zhang Li lowered his head and remained silent. In his heart, his sister was the best, and Lin Jie was not good enough for her. But who could be good enough for his sister? Was he just going to watch her grow old day by day?

"Zhang Li, I know you look down on me, but it's okay. Time will tell, and you'll understand my true feelings for Zhang Man. From now on, focus on your studies, and I'll handle things at home."

"I can't care about your business."

After saying that, Zhang Li picked up his schoolbag and ran out.

"Mom, why isn't Zhang Li going to school?"

The way she called out "Mom" came so naturally.

"He doesn't want to study anymore; all he wants is to make money. Comrade Lin, do you have a suitable job? It's not a solution to keep lying to his sister like this."

"Mom, just call me Lin Jie. Calling me Comrade Lin sounds too formal."

"Okay, okay, Lin Jie, hehe."

"There are jobs available. I need to discuss it with Zhang Man. If she agrees to let Zhang Li work, I'll find him an easy job right away."

"Good, good, we can discuss things together, that's what family is all about." Aunt Zhang was overjoyed.

"Mom, I took the day off today. I'm going to buy some groceries and I'll cook lunch."

"Can it really be done?"

"I can do it. I may be disabled, but I'm not. Just wait and see."

Lin Jie waved his empty left hand, and Aunt Zhang laughed.

In front of someone you like, disability is no longer a source of inferiority, but a source of joy in adjusting your life.

As I walked out of the alley, I saw Zhao Weiguo walking towards me carrying two large canvas bags of vegetables.

"Brother, congratulations!"

"Zhao Weiguo? Going to see your uncle?"

"No, I'm going to see my sister-in-law."

"sister in law?"

"Sister-in-law Zhang Man."

"Haha, you're a shrewd guy. Let's go grab a drink at noon."

"My wish has come true. I heard that my agency period is over. My spring has arrived."

"How's your underground company doing?"

"Where there are resources, there are companies. I'm waiting to get the waste from the chemical plant."

"As long as I can make the decision, I guarantee you won't get away with it, don't worry."

"Thank you, brother."

After spending so much money and laying the groundwork for so long, Zhao Weiguo finally saw hope.

Aunt Zhang was surprised to see Zhao Weiguo: "Aren't you the kid who repaired the house?"

"Auntie, it's not appropriate for Section Chief Lin to get involved; I'm just helping out."

Zhao Weiguo stopped trying to hide it and attributed all the credit to Lin Jie.

"I see, Lin Jie, thank you for your thoughtfulness."

"It's nothing, Mom. Once my house is ready, we'll leave the shantytown and live in a house with a toilet."

Aunt Zhang grew increasingly fond of Lin Jie. He secretly repaired the house and even brought her meals. Even a biological son wouldn't be this kind of person.

"Auntie, you rest. Section Chief Lin and I will go cook."

"Okay, you guys go ahead with your work, don't worry about me," Aunt Zhang said with a smile.
