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

Lin's mother found a guesthouse to stay in. She wasn't planning to go back to the village until Lin Mei's matter was resolved.

Before Chang Jinxiang and Lin Yue's relationship deepens, they should replace Lin Yue's position with Lin Mei's as soon as possible. Their Lin family can also benefit from this, and they might even be able to go to the capital with Lin Mei to enjoy a life of luxury, no longer having to live this hard life of toiling in the fields.

Lin Erdan won't have to worry about his future. He might even have a house and a job, and then he could find a high-ranking official's daughter in Beijing to marry, and the Lin family would rise to prominence.

As for Lin Yue, she's an ungrateful wretch. Let's ruin her reputation first, and maybe we can sell her for some money.

Thinking about this, she became restless. First, she asked Lin Mei to go to the clothing factory to find Li Mingyue and say that Lin Yue had jumped off a building when she was caught cheating, so that the clothing factory would fire her.

Then go to the Cultural Bureau's residential compound and spread the word that Lin Yue was having an affair and that she had embarrassed Chang Jinxiang. No man can stand a woman cheating on him.

In a fit of anger, Chang Jinxiang threw Lin Yue away. Lin Mei took the opportunity to have something happen between her and Chang Jinxiang, and the plan naturally came to fruition.

As expected, like attracts like. From the old lady to the youngest Lin Erdan, not a single one of the Lin family members is a good person; they are all wicked.

Lin Mei acted immediately. She first went to the garment factory to find Li Mingyue, and as soon as they met, she started crying and telling her that Lin Yue had caused her to end up in the police station.

Li Mingyue was so shocked by what she heard that she could have swallowed an egg whole. "You even went to the police station! What's it like inside? Are they all locked up with the most heinous villains? I heard there are even murderers there."

Her focus was peculiar; she completely missed the point Lin Mei was making, prompting Lin Mei to repeat herself, "Forget about the police station. It's not a good place. Do you want to go in and take a look?"

Li Mingyue spat on the ground, "Pah, pah, pah! Children say the darndest things, children say the darndest things. Why would I go in there for no reason? Don't talk nonsense."

Lin Mei couldn't help but secretly roll her eyes at her. If she didn't still need her, she would have really wanted to give her a good scolding. What a brainless idiot.

If it weren't for her uncle protecting her, would she be able to act so arrogantly in the garment factory? She would probably have been kicked out long ago.

Lin Mei grabbed her arm and whispered, "I'm telling you, but don't tell anyone else. My sister, Lin Yue, was having an affair with another man and asked me to cover for her. We ended up being caught in bed together. In her shame and anger, she jumped off a building, broke her leg, and is still in the hospital."

Li Mingyue then understood the key point in her words, "Hospitalized? I was just saying I hadn't seen her come, and I thought Master Zhu had kicked her out."

"I never would have guessed she was such a womanizer, secretly meeting with some random guy. I'll have to expose her properly, see how she'll ever have the nerve to come to work at the factory again."

Lin Mei left satisfied after hearing what she said, while Li Mingyue returned to the factory in high spirits and started telling her girlfriends, "Rumor has it that Lin Yue took leave because she broke her leg and was hospitalized."

Do you know how she broke her leg? Hahaha, turns out she was having an affair with some random guy, got caught, and felt so ashamed that she jumped off the guesthouse building.

Another girl immediately chimed in, "I knew it! She's in that state and she's still staying in the factory. She probably has an affair with our factory manager. Otherwise, who would protect her?"

"You didn't see it? A man comes to drive her to and from get off work every day. He's probably one of the guys she hooked up with. Don't let her honest appearance fool you, she's quite shrewd."

"That's right. She forged documents to fool Master Zhu, and Master Zhu didn't fire her. I think he was seduced by her. Who knows what he offered in exchange for the chance to stay in the factory."

Several people huddled together, talking amongst themselves, as if they had all witnessed the whole thing.

Li Mingyue deliberately lowered her voice and said, "I heard that when she was in the village, she was immoral, drugging men and sleeping with them, eventually forcing them to marry her."

"Huh? She's already married? How old is she?"

Li Mingyue seemed to be covering her mouth as she spoke, but her voice was actually very loud, and anyone passing by could hear her. "That's right, she's so young and doesn't learn anything good. She uses all sorts of despicable means. She took a fancy to that man's status as someone who came to the capital, so she drugged his food and forced him to get a marriage certificate with her the next day."

Even after marriage, she didn't fulfill her wifely duties, going out every night to fool around with other men. She's been caught several times, which even alarmed the captain and the soldiers.

They even preyed on the crippled man from the neighboring village, and yes, they even preyed on the shrimp maker. The matter even reached the police station, and the man is still in jail; I heard he was even stabbed.

It happened to be during factory hours, and people were coming and going. When they heard what she said, they all stopped to listen to the gossip. Some even fanned the flames and wanted to go to the factory manager's office to protest.

"As the saying goes, one bad apple spoils the whole bunch. If someone like that stays in our factory, she'll ruin the atmosphere. The factory manager should fire her."

"Yes, he was fired. I feel disgusted just looking at someone like that working with me."

Li Mingyue led the way toward the factory manager's office, where she ran into her uncle Zhou Long. "What are you doing? It's time for work. Hurry back to the workshop and stop causing trouble here."

Li Mingyue summarized the whole story in a few words, which made Zhou Long beam with joy. He had been upset by Lin Yue last time and had wanted to get back at her for a long time, but he just hadn't found the opportunity.

Now that this is a rare opportunity, and we don't even have to lift a finger, we might as well clear the way and let people cause trouble in the factory manager's office.

Huo Qingyan and his friends stood by watching. Wang Yiming nudged Huo Qingyan on the shoulder, "Brother Yan, what should we do about her? Should we do anything about it?"

Huo Qingyan's face was ashen. He had already sent people to inquire about the whole story when he learned that Lin Yue had asked for leave. He knew that Lin Yue had jumped off the building because she could not bear the humiliation, and he had also confirmed this with the police.

If Shen Rong hadn't been detained by the police, he would have beaten that person half to death long ago.

He even secretly went to the hospital to check on the young couple, but seeing them so sweet and loving, he didn't go in. He never expected that Li Mingyue would be here spouting nonsense and trying to ruin Lin Yue's reputation.

"Go to the police station and find the police officer handling Lin Yue's case. Explain the situation to them and ask them to come to the factory."

Before Wang Yiming and the others could react, Huo Qingyan had already stood in front of Li Mingyue and sternly questioned her, "Do you dare to take responsibility for what you said and did today? You are inciting the masses to riot, to strike, and to ruin a girl's reputation. Do you know the consequences of doing this?"
