Chapter 514 Let's go steal the household registration book!
"If it's too difficult to take, we can always steal it. If you're too scared, I'll go."
Hearing such childish words almost made her laugh in exasperation.
"You came to my house and stole my household registration book? Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"
"I know exactly what I'm saying, and I know exactly what I want to do. The question is, do you dare?"
Song Qin: “…”
"Tsk tsk, look at you, just wait to be controlled by your parents and taken advantage of by your brother's family. Forget it, I don't think you'd dare."
Song Qin slammed her hand on the table. "Who are you saying wouldn't dare?"
Chen Bingzhi shrank back, then mustered his courage and whispered, "You dare? If you dare, let's go now?"
“Fine, let’s go. My mom’s busy with the bus ride and won’t be back anytime soon…” Song Qin gritted her teeth. “Come on, you go drive.”
"Okay." Chen Bingzhi happily agreed, then quickly stuffed his personal belongings into his bag and ran downstairs to get his car.
Song Qin checked the time; there were still more than two hours until she could get off work.
He gave them some instructions, telling them to call Chen Bingzhi if they needed anything, and then packed his things and left.
Chen Bingzhi has a cool-looking mobile phone, which is quite convenient in crucial moments.
So as soon as Lin Yuyao left, the two of them skipped work.
To steal the household registration book before Song Qin's mother returned home, Chen Bingzhi drove incredibly fast, showcasing his best driving skills ever.
It wasn't rush hour yet, so there weren't many cars or people on the road.
He sped along, covering a journey that would take two or three hours by bus, but he arrived in just over half an hour.
The old lady is the only one at home right now; everyone else is either at work or at school.
"grandmother."
The old lady adjusted her reading glasses. "Xiaoqin, why are you back at this hour?"
"I came back because I have something to take care of."
"What's up?"
I'll tell you in a bit.
After saying that, Song Qin walked towards her parents' room.
After parking the car, Chen Bingzhi arrived.
"Oh, young man, you're here too." This wasn't Chen Bingzhi's first time here; he had brought Song Qin back before to visit the old lady, so she recognized him.
"Grandma, you're in good health! You're planting vegetables again."
The old lady laughed and said, "Okay, I'm free and don't do any heavy work, so I'm in good health."
"You should rest more. Growing vegetables is work, and it's tiring."
"I'm not tired. My arms and legs need to be moved a little to get better. If I don't do anything, they'll just rust like a hinge that doesn't turn."
Just then, Song Qin called out from inside the room, "Chen Bingzhi."
"Yes," he replied, smiling as he said to the old lady, "Grandma, I'll go inside for a bit."
"Okay, go ahead."
Chen Bingzhi jogged into the house, "Did you find it?"
Song Qin pointed to a red box, "It's locked in here, with such a big lock, how do we get in?"
"Find a wire, watch me."
Song Qin found him a wire, and he put his ear into the keyhole and slowly fiddled with it.
The old lady found it strange and put down her work to come inside.
"What are you doing?"
Song Qin used her body to block the old lady and pushed her out.
"It's nothing, I just came back to get something."
"What is it?"
"It's nothing, Grandma, don't tell them I'm back."
"Xiaoqin, is something wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Your mom said she was going to look for you, did you see her?"
Song Qin paused for a moment, then said, "I saw him."
"She didn't say anything to you, did she? I saw her storm out, saying something like, 'You'd better look at me.'"
Song Qin felt a chill in her heart. She rested her head on her hand for a long while, then suddenly laughed, "What can she do to me? Does she think I'm a three-year-old child, someone she can manipulate at will?"
"Oh! You all..." The old lady sighed and waved her hand, saying, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I'm old now and can't take care of you anymore."
With a click, the lock opened.
Chen Bingzhi gave Song Qin a meaningful look.
Song Qin said to the old lady, "Grandma, is there any hot water at home? I'm thirsty."
"Yes, wait a moment, I'll go to the kitchen to get you some water."
"Oh, thank you, Grandma."
The old lady went to the kitchen.
Song Qin turned around and, together with Chen Bingzhi, opened the box, successfully finding the family's household registration booklet inside.
There are many people in the family; it's a thick stack of papers, and the head of the household is still the grandmother.
I quickly put the household registration booklet into my bag and came out of the house, just in time to see the old lady carrying two bowls of water.
He gave Song Qin a bowl and handed Chen Bingzhi a bowl, saying, "Young man, you should have some water too."
"Oh, thank you, Grandma."
After drinking the water, Song Qin said, "Grandma, we have to go out for a while, we'll be back soon."
"Okay, you guys go ahead and get busy. Leave the bowls there, I'll clean them up."
Chen Bingzhi said politely, "Thank you for your trouble, Grandma."
"It's just collecting the dishes, no trouble at all."
Holding their household registration books, the two of them, with a heavy heart, actually went to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Just as they reached the door, Song Qin suddenly realized what was happening.
"What were we doing again?"
Chen Bingzhi stopped. "We're getting married, isn't that what we agreed on?"
Song Qin's heart skipped a beat.
"Marry you?"
Chen Bingzhi: "Sister, you're not going to back out, are you? We're already at the door."
He tugged at her, "Hurry up, they're about to get off work."
Song Qin took a deep breath, pushed him away, and turned to leave.
Chen Bingzhi panicked and hurriedly chased after him.
"Hey, why did you change your mind?"
"We're not a good match."
"Didn't we agree to that?"
"You've forgotten, haven't you? I was just confused."
"What? You were confused just now? I think you're the one who's confused now."
Song Qin shook her head and quickened her pace to leave.
Chen Bingzhi hurriedly caught up, saying as he ran, "If we don't get married, won't we have this household registration book for nothing?"
"If you don't get married, your mom will keep bothering you. It's almost Chinese New Year, and she'll get all the relatives and friends to make trouble for you. She'll be too embarrassed to ask you to support them in their old age or pay for your brother's family in front of them, so she'll definitely use your not getting married as an excuse. Wouldn't it be more satisfying to throw the marriage certificate in their faces?"
Song Qin paused for a moment.
Chen Bingzhi pressed his advantage, saying, "Didn't they say you can't get married? Why don't you marry them and let them stop coveting your daughter's things."
"Sister, you've always been decisive, especially when it comes to important life decisions. What can they do to you?"
It was probably these last few words that persuaded Song Qin.
She hesitated, and among the many reasons, the biggest problem was that she was overthinking things and felt that their respective family circumstances made her and Chen Bingzhi completely unsuitable.
Song Qin appears to be a decisive and capable woman, but she is actually quite vulnerable when it comes to marriage and handling family relationships.
She still believes that no matter who she marries, she must gain the approval of both families.
But now, provoked by Chen Bingzhi, she suddenly had the idea of taking charge of her own life.
A marriage is a big deal, why not go all out?
Who cares about her family situation, or what his family thinks?
Why should I consider other people's opinions when I get married?
So what if they make the decision?
Song Qin bit her lip angrily, glanced at the time, and suddenly made up her mind, saying, "Let's go get our marriage certificate."
