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

Lin Yue completed the embroidery work assigned by Master Zhu on time, and Master Zhu then had her learn cutting techniques with the other workers.

After that, Lin Yue would carefully store her works and carry them with her every day.

Master Zhu noticed her progress and was quite satisfied, but he wouldn't specifically praise her; he needed to observe her further.

Unable to wait for Li Mingyue's good news, Lin Mei came to the garment factory to find her, where she witnessed a scene that infuriated her.

Chang Jingxiang rode his bicycle to pick up Lin Yue from get off work. The two were very affectionate, chatting and laughing, especially Lin Yue, who had a sweet smile on her face.

Lin Mei was burning with jealousy. Why was Lin Yue so lucky to marry such an outstanding man who was not only good-looking but also capable?

Lin Mei watched them walk by, then quietly hid in a corner; she couldn't reveal herself yet.

Li Mingyue told her that Lin Yue didn't live in the dormitory at all, and that she was picked up and dropped off by someone every day, so there was no way to find an opportunity to deal with her.

Li Mingyue said through gritted teeth, "Last time I ruined her assessment, Master Zhu only scolded her and didn't kick her out. Now she's very shrewd, she carries all the finished products with her, and I can't bring myself to do it."

Lin Mei wanted to call her stupid, but remembering that she still needed her, she couldn't turn against her. "It's okay, let's think of another way."

Li Mingyue dragged her to the supply and marketing cooperative, and saw that Lin Yue and Chang Jingxiang had bought a lot of things, including food, drinks, clothes and other necessities. How much money must that have cost?

Lin Mei looked at her clothes with a pained expression. She hadn't bought any new clothes for several days, and the old clothes just didn't feel right on her.

She was determined to take Chang Jingxiang away; his money was only for her to spend, and Lin Yue didn't deserve it at all.

Thinking of this, the malice in her heart grew wildly again, and she no longer cared how Lin Yue would treat her; she wanted to destroy her first.

She thought of someone, Shen Rong, who was now working in an office in a unit through family connections. He had little authority and his salary was not good.

He must hate Lin Yue, because if it weren't for Lin Yue, his affair with the Niu family's wife wouldn't have been exposed. He not only lost such a good job, but was also severely beaten and ended up in the hospital.

He also received a disciplinary action, which will affect his future promotions at work.

After making up her mind, she parted ways with Li Mingyue and couldn't wait to go find Shen Rong.

She had barely met Shen Rong and hadn't even exchanged a few words when he dragged her to the guesthouse and forcefully pinned her to the bed.

Lin Mei originally wanted to push him away, but thinking of her plan, she let Shen Rong do as he pleased and even cooperated with his actions, coaxing Shen Rong to come again and again.

Afterwards, Shen Rong hugged Lin Mei and said with satisfaction, "Your body is so soft, it's so alluring and exciting to hug you. We should meet often in the future and keep in touch."

Shen Rong was a man who indulged in lust and often seduced married women. His body was already somewhat weak from overuse.

He thought he was mighty and strong, but he couldn't last long at all. In the end, he always finished hastily, so fewer and fewer women were looking for him now.

Lin Mei wasn't quite done enjoying herself. She rolled her eyes inwardly and cursed him in her heart, but she still maintained a smile on her face. "Brother Shen Rong is a very busy man. How could he have time for me? If I hadn't taken the initiative to come to you, you probably wouldn't even remember that I exist."

As she spoke, her fingers traced circles on Shen Rong's chest, teasing him restlessly, which aroused Shen Rong's interest again, and he pressed her down and did it again.

When the man was no longer able to resist, Lin Mei revealed her purpose: "Do you know that Lin Yue got a job at the clothing factory in town?"

Speaking of Lin Yue, a crack appeared on Shen Rong's infatuated face, which then turned into anger. "That damned woman, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't be in such a miserable state now. If I ever run into her, I'll definitely teach her a lesson."

Lin Mei patted the back of his hand. "I know my sister wronged you, and I feel really bad about it. How about I call her out for you and have her apologize to you properly?"

Shen Rong looked at her thoughtfully. Lin Mei was a shrewd person; she wouldn't help him for no reason. "She's your sister, aren't you on her side?"

Lin Mei looked at him with a wronged expression. "I'm just being reasonable, not siding with my own family. My older sister is too much. Because of her selfishness, she has caused a lot of people to suffer, including me, her younger sister. She even hurt me and almost sold me to a snail farmer in the neighboring village to be his wife."

As she spoke, she pretended to wipe away tears, "I was so angry that I wanted to punish her a little so she wouldn't hurt others again."

Looking at Lin Mei's aggrieved appearance, Shen Rong hugged her shoulders tightly with heartache, "Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you and make her kneel down and kowtow to you to admit her mistake."

After Lin Mei and Shen Rong discussed their plan, Lin Mei began to follow Lin Yue, trying to find out where she lived.

When she saw Lin Yue enter the Cultural Bureau's residential compound, her jealousy intensified.

She chose a time when Chang Jingxiang was not home and knocked on Lin Yue's door.

Lin Yue glared at her coldly, showing no intention of letting her in.

Lin Mei feigned a wronged expression, "Sister, are you still angry with me for those little things from the past? I was young and didn't understand things. It was Mother who said you were unfilial. I saw that Mother was too sad and couldn't stand it, so I made a small mistake."

She really distanced herself completely, especially now that she looked so wronged and tearful, as if she had suffered a great injustice and that Lin Yue was making things difficult for her.

She's always been like this since she was a child. As long as she does something wrong and adopts this attitude, Lin Yue will forgive her and take the blame for her. Lin Yue doesn't know how many times she's been beaten by her mother for this.

Lin Yue was surprised that after what had happened before, she would still have the audacity to come again, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lin Mei thought that her methods had worked again, so she pursed her lips and continued, "Sister, Mother didn't mean it. She was just concerned about you and was afraid that you would be abandoned by your brother-in-law and have no way out. That's why she listened to the matchmaker and wanted to find you a good family."

She didn't know Wang Mazi was that kind of person, and now she regrets it terribly, spending every day at home in tears. Her mistake was letting her concern cloud her judgment.

Her appearance would probably move others, but Lin Yue knew what kind of person she was and wouldn't be fooled again.

Lin Yue said coldly, "She made it very clear last time that I was not born to her, and she is not my mother. I have no relation to the Lin family anymore."

Lin Mei pursed her lips, looking devastated. "Sister, how can you say that? Although you weren't born to Mother, they raised you with great care and hardship. Their kindness in raising you is greater than the heavens. How can you just cut ties like that?"

You can't just kick us aside because you're living a good life, with no worries about food or clothing, and in such a nice house.
