Chapter 135: Transfering The Household Registration

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Zi epitomized a peasant at heart, always trying to reap benefits without letting go, wanting the best of both worlds.

How could she compare him to a rural man?

Zhang Mei handed over the household register to Gu Zi, snorted coldly, and said, “Take it and leave. When you’re done, just hand it over to Aunt Wang at the office. No need to return it yourselves.”

Then, she went inside, called Aunt Wang at the office, and instructed her to keep a close eye on the Gu family’s household register, fearing these two might try something fishy.

She didn’t believe they genuinely wanted to transfer registration; most likely, they wanted it for marriage registration.

She was sure Gu Zi still hadn’t let go of Gong Zhan in her heart. So, she devised this excuse to fetch the household register, to indirectly let Gong Zhan hear about the marriage registration.

Their petty scheme was easily discernible to her. Still, even if they went ahead with the marriage registration, it wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Aunt Wang also lived in the compound and was well aware of the relationship between the Gu and Gong families. She was more than willing to help the Gu family.

“Don’t worry, Sister Zhang. I’ll take good care of the household register.”

After hanging up, Zhang Mei entered the living room and learned that Gong Zhan was also planning to leave.

She deliberately said, “The two people just now were Gu Zi and her fiancé, here to pick up the household register for marriage registration. I figured you wouldn’t want to see them, so I didn’t let them in.”

Upon hearing “marriage registration,” Gong Zhan’s expression darkened even more. He said, “Auntie, you did the right thing. I indeed detest people like them.”

Zhang Mei and Gu Shan exchanged a smile, feeling reassured after hearing Gong Zhan’s words.

Gu Shan asked again, “Regarding Lin Miao’s registration transfer, how should we proceed?”

Gong Zhan replied, “Let me talk to my father. I’ll take my leave now.”

After leaving, Gu Zi and Su Shen went directly to the Public Security Bureau. They arrived exactly at ten o’clock, with plenty of time to spare.

On Aunt Wang’s side, because Zhang Mei had called to give her a heads up, she had specially arranged for Gu Zits matter to be handled at her desk.

Gu Zi handed over the necessary documents and two household registers. However, she did not even look at them and said impatiently, “You can’t process the registration transfer. Leave the Gu family’s register with me. Sort out your procedures properly before coming back.”

Since Zhang Mei wanted to drive these two away with the household register to avoid any interaction with Gong Zhan, Aunt Wang believed she was being generous enough by pretending to go through the motions while telling them they couldn’t proceed.

Gu Zi felt exasperated by her dismissive attitude. She knew that Auntie Wang was very realistic.

Previously, knowing about the engagement between the original owner and Gong Zhan, she had tried to curry favor with the original owner’s family. Now that she found out Gu Zi wasn’t the biological daughter of the Gu family and not even the one to marry Gong Zhan, she couldn’t be bothered to pretend.

“Aunt Wang, please at least take a look at the documents. We’ve prepared everything. Why can’t we proceed?” Gu Zi said.

Aunt Wang glanced at Gu Zi and then at the man beside her, feeling disdainful.

No wonder Zhang Mei said this rural man was hypocritical and pretentious. Seeing him dressed neatly and exuding such an air, one might mistake him for the offspring of some high-ranking official. But in reality, he was just a farmer!

As for Gu Zi, with such good looks, why would she choose to live in the countryside with someone who idled away his days?

What was the use of a man being good-looking? He was uncultured and ignorant. He was just a complete idiot!

Aunt Wang’s impatience grew. “I said it’s not possible! Gu Zi, you grew up in the military compound; how can’t you understand this rule? It seems that farmers will always be farmers. What’s engraved in their genes can’t be changed.”

Hearing this, Gu Zi found it amusing. Silently, she gave Aunt Wang a scornful look.

Aunt Wang slammed the table and stood up. ‘What’s with that look, Gu Zi?”

Gu Zi grinned, “Seeing someone like you, I feel proud of being a rural person. There, birds sing, flowers bloom, life is peaceful. In the countryside, dogs aren’t in a hurry to judge others.”

Su Shen found Gu Zi’s retort amusing. She was indeed different; she cherished the countryside in such a unique way.

Deciding not to waste more time here, he picked up the documents on the table and said to Gu Zi, “Since it’s not possible here, let’s find another place that can do it.”

As they turned to leave, Aunt Wang hurriedly caught up, angrily saying, “Do you think this is a marketplace? Stop causing chaos everywhere! Leave immediately and leave the Gu family’s household register behind!”
