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

Lin Yue tilted her head and thought for a moment, "What shoes? I'll buy them for you in town when I have the money."

Chang Jingxiang pursed his lips and said casually, "It's fine as long as you make it. I think your skills are pretty good. Didn't you give someone a pair yesterday?"

The thought that he wasn't the first person to receive shoes made by his wife inexplicably made Chang Jingxiang want to get angry.

"Those were made by Xiaoshan's mother. I was going to town anyway, so she asked me to bring them to him. I've never made shoes or clothes before, so I don't know if they'll be wearable."

Hearing Lin Yue's explanation, the gloom in Chang Jingxiang's heart vanished. "It's okay, take your time."

Chang Jingxiang got onto the kang (heated brick bed) and spread out the quilts. He put Lin Yue's quilt at one end of the kang and his own quilt on the other side, leaving a gap between them.

Lin Yue watched his actions, her eyes darkening. Sure enough, he still disliked her; even in the same room, he still kept his distance.

Perhaps his concern today was just like he would with his younger sister, out of a sense of responsibility and morality. He even patted her head, like he would with a child.

Lin Yue went to bed in a sullen mood, her back to Chang Jingxiang. Chang Jingxiang turned off the light and also went to sleep.

You can still hear noises from outside, getting closer and closer, and then you hear a "knock knock knock" on the door.

"You're asleep, I'll go check on you." Chang Jingxiang got up in the dark without turning on the light and went out.

He opened the door and saw people outside holding torches; they must have gone up to search but returned empty-handed.

Chang Jingxiang thought they would disperse once they couldn't find anyone, but he didn't expect them to come to his house and cause trouble. So he asked with a stern face, "What is it?"

Someone shouted, "Where's Lin Yue? Tell her to come out!" As they spoke, they forcefully pushed the door open, trying to force their way in.

Chang Jingxiang braced himself against the door, his sharp gaze sweeping over them. "She's asleep. What do you want?"

People were stunned by his gaze, and the shouting gradually subsided. A woman stood up and deliberately raised her voice, shouting, "Liar! She's definitely not in the house. I clearly saw her go to the back hillside to find some random man. She never came down. How could she be in the house?"

Chang Jingxiang glanced at the woman in front of him, whom he didn't recognize and hadn't paid any attention to before. "We've already rested. Please go back."

The woman persisted, shouting, "You're afraid we'll find out she's not here, so you're afraid to let us in, right? Go ahead and let us in if you dare!"

Someone chimed in, "That's right, we should go in and see. A shameless woman like her staying in our village will ruin the reputation of our entire village. She's a black sheep and will affect our chances of being recognized as an advanced worker."

"Let's put her on a farm for rehabilitation, try to get her lenient treatment, and help her start anew."

The voice sounded familiar. Lin Yue racked her brains before she could recall where she had heard it before.

This is the same voice that kept echoing around when he was with the Niu family's wife. He was using foul language back then, but it's definitely the same person.

"That's right, Comrade Chang, we're doing this for your own good. You're always up in the mountains and never come home. You have no idea how many times that woman has cheated on you."

We are also responding to the national call to resolutely resist all immoral behavior. Hand her over, and we will take her back to the team for questioning.

His parents were too ashamed to face anyone. Having such a daughter meant they were constantly being talked about behind their backs, and they couldn't eat or sleep peacefully.

"That's right, this daughter was raised for nothing. Her mother is crying and telling everyone how wronged she was that her daughter slept in a man's bed and got married without any dowry."

She doesn't do any housework anymore; she's a complete ingrate, I've raised her for eighteen years for nothing.

"I bet your family will be ruined by her sooner or later, and your parents might get so angry they'll die."

Chang Jingxiang blocked the doorway, preventing anyone from entering. Niu's wife deliberately rushed forward, puffing out her chest, almost touching Chang Jingxiang's arm that was blocking the door.

Chang Jingxiang dodged away in disgust, which allowed Niu's wife to squeeze in.

The Niu family's wife had been squatting at the foot of the hillside, but Lin Yue hadn't come down, so she was certain that Lin Yue hadn't returned.

Lin Yue caught her cheating and, fearing that Lin Yue would report her, she stayed at home anxiously for two days. Only when nothing happened did she feel relieved.

I couldn't resist going to the back hillside with that person again. Every time, I was afraid of running into Lin Yue again. I couldn't shout loudly, and I couldn't enjoy myself to the fullest.

Moreover, I always felt that Lin Yue had something on me, and I didn't know when she would expose me.

So they decided to strike first. She discovered that Lin Yue was secretly running to the back hillside every night, probably doing something shady.

If we catch her today, we won't have to worry about her reporting us. Lin Yue's reputation is already bad; she slept with Chang Jingxiang and forced him to marry her.

Lin Yue was caught red-handed, and even if she told her story, no one would believe her.

The Niu family's wife rushed upstairs and kicked the door open with a bang. The light turned on, and she stared wide-eyed at Lin Yue, who was sitting in bed, still half asleep.

I rubbed my eyes in disbelief, thinking I was seeing things, but Lin Yue was still sitting there perfectly fine, wrapped in the blanket.

The people behind followed and saw Lin Yue sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), looking like she hadn't woken up yet, and her fair shoulders were exposed, clearly indicating that she wasn't wearing anything.

Seeing this, Niu's wife rolled her eyes a few times and shouted, "I clearly saw you go up the back slope. You must have known that Chang Jingxiang was coming back, so you secretly ran back."

Since they're inside, why won't they let us in? They must be feeling guilty.

She wasn't even dressed, and she was completely naked. Who knows what she was doing in the house just now.

"Is there some other man hiding in your house? Look for him, see which one is hiding here."

The Niu family's wife thought that even if they didn't find the person, Lin Yue's body had been seen by everyone, and the spittle would drown her. At that time, wouldn't she jump into the river? How could she still have the face to live?

As he spoke, he went to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and pulled at Lin Yue's quilt. Lin Yue was indeed not wearing any clothes at the moment and was clutching the quilt tightly.

In her haste, she thought of taking off her clothes. Seeing the young couple together, she couldn't find anything to criticize.

The woman from the Niu family couldn't pull the quilt off, which made her even more certain that someone was hiding inside. She desperately pulled at the quilt, and it looked like she was about to climb onto the kang (a heated brick bed).

The people following behind were also eager to join in, some just to watch the spectacle, others hoping to catch a glimpse of the women's bodies, and they all pushed and shoved their way in.

"That's right, that's right, everyone hurry up and go in. Whoever finds it first will be an activist, and I'll apply for an award for him." After saying that, the man didn't forget to leer at Lin Yue.

He would get angry when he saw Chang Jingxiang's calm and collected demeanor. So what if he came from Beijing? What's so great about him?

Evil thoughts arose in Shen Rong's mind again.
