80 village women marry military officers; it was supposed to be a fake marriage.

When Zhou Zhijie saw Su Qingya fall, he dropped his bicycle and ran over. He glared at Lin Yue fiercely and shouted, "Why are you bullying Qingya?"

He helped Su Qingya up. Su Qingya leaned against him hesitantly, her eyes red. "Don't blame her. She didn't mean it. I just told her I was getting married, and she couldn't accept it, so she pushed me hard."

Zhou Zhijie patted the dirt off her clothes, put his arm around her waist, and angrily shouted at Lin Yue, "Are you out of your mind? You can't stand seeing others do well, can you? Qingya doesn't even care about what happened before, but you keep causing trouble. You've gone too far."

Where Zhou Zhijie couldn't see, Su Qingya's face had completely lost its previous pitiful look, and she looked at Lin Yue with a smug smile.

Her expression was distorted, completely lacking the gentle and graceful demeanor Lin Yue had shown her. She looked like someone with mental problems, utterly ugly.

Lin Yue looked at the two sick people in front of her, shook her head sarcastically, and walked away towards the Chang family. When Zhou Zhijie saw that she ignored him, he angrily grabbed Lin Yue's arm.

Lin Yue glanced back at him, then noticed several neighbors peeking out. Feigning surprise, she shouted, "In broad daylight, you're harassing an innocent woman! What are you trying to do?"

Zhou Zhijie was stunned by her shout and stood there, his hand still raised in mid-air, his eyes wide open.

Those few people in the compound who loved to join in the fun thought there was something to see, so they all opened the gate and came out.

Lin Yue pretended to wipe away her tears, "What are you doing? I just want to go home, but you're blocking my way and won't let me go. Now you're even trying to touch me. What do you want?"

As everyone approached, Lin Yue had finished preparing herself, and her eyes were red. Compared to Su Qingya, she looked even more pitiful.

Isn't it just acting pitiful? Anyone can do that. Lin Yue used to look down on this trick, but now she thinks it works quite well on shameless people like them.

The neighbors pointed at Zhou Zhijie and whispered, "This guy looks so handsome, how could he lay hands on a married woman like that? It's outrageous."

"Isn't this the future son-in-law of the Su family? I heard he comes from a good family and has a good job, but I didn't expect him to be like this."

"This is the Chang family's daughter-in-law. The two families have always had an unclear relationship. Who knows what kind of trouble this is going on?"

Zhou Zhijie had never been spoken to like that before. His face turned pale and then red. He glared at Lin Yue with eyes wide with fury, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Su Qingya also rushed up to defend herself, "No, you've misunderstood. It was Lin Yue who pushed me, and Zhijie couldn't stand it, so he wanted to argue with her."

Someone shouted, "We didn't see her push you, we only saw you, her fiancé, pulling her. Look, you've scared her to tears!"

"Yeah, there are two of you and she's all alone, so who's bullying whom?"

Seeing that she couldn't explain it clearly, Su Qingya stepped forward and grabbed Lin Yue's arm, "Lin Yue, you need to explain to everyone that Zhijie was holding you back to protect me."

This woman is treating everyone like fools; she still wants to maintain her victim mentality even now.

Zhou Zhijie grabbed Su Qingya and said sternly, "Qingya, what are you talking to her about? It's clearly her fault. She bullied you and she thinks she's right? I finally know how vicious this woman is. Now she's even framing me. Don't be fooled by her."

He looked like he was about to hit Lin Yue, and Lin Yue, frightened, hid behind everyone.

Su Qingya's eyes were already filled with tears as she sobbed, "I know you can't stand to see me doing well. You know I'm going to marry Zhijie, so you've been trying to smear him. You're just jealous of me."

Lin Yue feigned innocence and said, "My husband is Chang Jingxiang, a company commander in the army. He's handsome, has a great physique, and is very capable. Do you really believe I'm jealous of you?"

Her gaze swept over Zhou Zhijie from head to toe, and she shook her head, seemingly dissatisfied. "Didn't you go to the military base to cause trouble a while ago, saying something like you absolutely had to..."

Lin Yue deliberately dragged out her words, and Su Qingya's face instantly turned pale. She looked at Zhou Zhijie in fear.

No one in the military knew about this, and no one except the two families knew anything about it, including the Zhou family.

If Zhou Zhijie finds out, given his arrogance, the marriage will probably fall through. Then Su Qingya will become the laughingstock of Beijing, and it will be difficult for her to marry into a well-off family in the future.

Su Qingya would never allow such a thing to happen. Today, she was only looking at Lin Yue and wanted Zhou Zhijie to teach her a lesson.

She was starting to regret it; it wouldn't be worth ruining the marriage for a moment's pleasure.

Thinking of this, Su Qingya walked directly to Lin Yue and said earnestly, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I apologize."

Zhou Zhijie felt extremely sorry for Su Qingya as he bowed his head and apologized. "Qingya, it's clearly not your fault, why are you apologizing to her?"

Su Qingya bit her lower lip tightly and choked out, "Zhijie, I can't let everyone misunderstand you. It's all my fault, not Comrade Lin Yue's fault."

She took another step forward, her eyes bloodshot as she stared at Lin Yue. "Is this alright?"

Lin Yue only meant to scare her and didn't really intend to say anything. She took a step closer to Su Qingya and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Su Qingya, stop using those disgusting tricks of yours and don't provoke me anymore, or I'm not afraid of a fight to the death, and then your marriage will really be off."

After saying that, Lin Yue took a step back, straightened her clothes, and said softly, "Since it's a misunderstanding, let's leave it at that. Don't be so confused next time."

Su Qingya was so angry she could barely stand it.

Everyone went home after seeing that everything was alright, but Su Qingya was clutching her clothes tightly, tears streaming down her face.

Zhou Zhijie held her in his arms with heartache, regardless of where they were, "Qingya, you've been wronged. You did it to protect my reputation. Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you. As for Lin Yue, I will definitely get back to you with interest when I have the chance."

Hearing him say that, Su Qingya felt much better. She was determined to get revenge. Lin Yue, you wait and see how long you can be so smug.

When Lin Yue returned to the Chang family home, she didn't mention the fight she had just had. Instead, she told Chang's mother the good news that she had been hired. Chang's mother was happy for her and said they should celebrate together that night.

Lin Yue said with difficulty, "Mom, I was able to go to the First Garment Factory to recruit workers this time thanks to some friends I knew before. I promised to treat them to dinner tonight."

Chang's mother patted her head and said softly, "It's good to have friends. I was worried that you wouldn't be used to life in Beijing. I'm happy for you that you have friends to take care of you. Let's celebrate tomorrow."
