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

Lin Yue settled down in the dormitory with peace of mind. During work hours, she worked diligently in the workshop, and after get off work, she would go back to the dormitory to study.

Meals are eaten in the cafeteria, which doesn't take much time to go back and forth, so there's plenty of time for studying.

With the design competition fast approaching, the factory issued a new rule: all employees participating in the competition must provide a certificate of no criminal record from the local police station where their household registration is located.

Because once a design wins an award, it needs to be put into production immediately, and once the machines start running, thousands of garments can be produced.

The factory must ensure that the designers have no criminal record to avoid production or sales being halted, which would cause losses to the factory.

Although Lin Yue is married to Chang Jingxiang, her household registration has not been transferred here and she is still in the countryside.

So she had to go back and get the certificate in person.

If it were Chang Jingxiang, he could probably get the certificate done with just one phone call, but Lin Yue didn't want to bother her.

Lin Yue was preparing to go back on her own, and Huo Qingyan didn't want to do it himself, so he asked Wang Yiming to pass the message on to Huo Qingxia.

Upon hearing that Lin Yue was going back to her hometown alone, Huo Qingxia immediately took leave from the hospital.

He ran to the garment factory and vented his frustrations to Lin Yue, "Lin Yue, you've gone too far! I treated you like a friend I'd risk my life for, but you treat me like a stranger and don't tell me anything."

You went back to your hometown without inviting me. I'm really heartbroken. If you continue like this, then we shouldn't be friends.

Lin Yue watched helplessly as she threw a tantrum, wanting to help her up but not knowing where to start.

Wang Yiming watched secretly from a distance, feeling sorry for Huo Qingyan and wanting to rush over to help, but Huo Qingyan held him back.

Wang Yiming complained indignantly, "You really value your lover more than your sister. It's despicable to scheme against your own sister like this."

Huo Qingyan kicked him again. "Huo Qingxia has been like this since she was little. She throws a tantrum on the ground whenever she's unhappy. She's such a grown-up, how can you blame me for this?"

Wang Yiming was speechless. He had experienced this before, but what could he do? He just liked Huo Qingxia, and even though he knew it was all an act, he couldn't bear to let her go.

Lin Yue looked at Huo Qingxia with amusement, then helplessly rubbed her forehead. "Alright, how about I invite you to come with me? Get up now."

Upon hearing this, Huo Qingxia immediately got up from the ground. "When are you planning to leave? I'll go buy a train ticket."

Lin Yue asked the workshop director for leave, took her bag from the dormitory, and went back to the Huo family home with Huo Qingxia.

"I have some things left to me by my grandma in my bag, as well as money given to me by Chang Jingxiang. It's not safe to keep them in the dormitory, so I'll leave them at your place first."

Huo Qingxia was very happy that Lin Yue trusted her so much. "At least he's a decent person and knows to compensate you. Otherwise, I would have gone to the army and given him a good scolding, making him lose face."

The next day, Lin Yue and Huo Qingxia boarded the train back to their hometown. It was Lin Yue's first time taking a train, and she listened to Huo Qingxia describe the things she saw along the way.

After getting off the bus, they went straight to the town's police station, quickly obtained the necessary permits, and planned to have a meal before taking another bus back.

When they arrived at the restaurant entrance, someone suddenly called Lin Yue's name from afar. Lin Yue turned around and saw Shen Rong standing in the distance.

Once Shen Rong confirmed it was Lin Yue, he charged forward with bloodshot eyes, like a wild beast spotting its prey.

If it weren't for Lin Yue, he wouldn't have been forced to marry Lin Mei, and he wouldn't be constantly controlled by that woman.

Shen's parents refused to give him any more money, leaving him in dire financial straits. He was also getting increasingly annoyed by Lin Mei's constant nagging.

In short, it's all Lin Yue's fault. Everyone hates her so much that they curse her several times a day.

He had wanted to take revenge on Lin Yue for a long time, but he couldn't find her for a long time. Fortunately, he met her today.

His first reaction was to take revenge, to beat Lin Yue up badly first.

My old, easy job is gone, and now I have to work as a temporary worker in this lousy company. The pay is low, and I have to be subservient to everyone.

"Lin Yue, thank God, I've finally found you. You're going to die soon."

Lin Yue was so shocked by the hatred in his eyes that she didn't have time to react and stood there in a daze.

She felt Shen Rong getting closer and closer. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past her, and Shen Rong's body flew into the air, landing on the ground with a thud.

Lin Yuecai then saw Huo Qingyan blocking her way and took the opportunity to casually brush the dirt off her trousers.

Huo Qingxia nervously walked over and grabbed Lin Yue's hand. "You scared me to death! Luckily, I'm smart enough to have Huo Qingyan come along to protect us."

Shen Rong struggled to get up from the ground, wiped his mouth with his hand, and found his fingers stained with blood.

Shen Rong's body trembled, and he suddenly clutched his stomach and groaned in pain.

Huo Qingyan's kick was quite forceful. Shen Rong was so stunned by the kick that he didn't feel any pain and was able to get up from the ground.

Now that I see myself bleeding, I'm starting to get scared, and the pain is becoming more and more intense.

Huo Qingxia shouted at Shen Rong's stunned colleague, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and get him to the hospital, or he'll die!"

Shen Rong, who was kneeling on the ground groaning in pain, cried out even louder upon hearing this.

His colleagues frantically lifted him up, some pulling his arms, some lifting his legs, but their efforts were misaligned, causing Shen Rong even more pain.

He was in so much pain that he couldn't even scream anymore, and could only let people handle him. By the time he got to the hospital, he was already half dead.

His family members arrived at the hospital after being notified. Lin Mei's belly was already quite large, and she was having some difficulty walking.

She was already petite, and with her big belly, she looked even thinner and smaller; all the nutrients in her body were being absorbed by the baby.

When she saw Lin Yue, she was stunned for a moment, her eyes still somewhat blank. But after she came to her senses, she walked up to Lin Yue without any hesitation.

"It's all your fault that I've suffered so much."

He raised his hand high and slapped Lin Yue across the face, a loud slap landing on her cheek.

No one knows who called the police, but Huo Qingyan and Huo Qingxia were being questioned by the police, and no one paid attention to Lin Yue.

Lin Mei used all her strength, and Lin Yue's face turned to one side, instantly becoming red and swollen.

"How long are you going to hide? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have dropped out of school and married that good-for-nothing Shen Rong. My future is ruined. You have to pay me back, you have to pay me back."

As he spoke, he started tearing at Lin Yue again. With a loud "smack," everyone around heard it and turned to look.

Lin Mei's face was red and swollen, and she was looking at Lin Yue in disbelief. "You hit me! You actually dared to hit me! I'm going to kill you!"
