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

Wang Yiming wanted to ask Lin Yue where she would go in the future so he could tell Huo Qingyan that if he really liked the girl, he should pay more attention and maybe he could even win her over.

Lin Yue looked at Chang Jinxiang and said, "My leg will take quite a long time to heal. Let's see how it goes after it's fully recovered."

Wang Yiming didn't ask any more questions. He put down his things and left the ward. As soon as he left the hospital, he saw Huo Qingyan and the others standing under the shade of a tree.

Huo Qingyan glanced at him, and Wang Yiming whispered a few words in Xu Changyong's ear. Xu Changyong blushed immediately, "Really? That open?"

Luo Xiaoshan leaned closer to listen, "What open? I want to hear too."

Wang Yiming pushed his face away, saying with a look of disgust, "This is not suitable for children. It's their intimate conversation, not for you to hear."

Huo Qingyan's face darkened, and Wang Yiming teased him, "Brother Yan, do you want to hear this? That young couple is all lovey-dovey in the hospital room. I'm so envious of them."

Huo Qingyan rolled her eyes at him. "Enough with the nonsense. Once you're done watching, leave. I'll treat everyone to drinks."

Luo Xiaoshan clapped happily, "Great, Brother Yan, I want to eat barbecue too, the kind with lots of meat."

Wang Yiming kicked him, "Can't you see that Brother Yan is very sad? Why are you so happy? All you know is eating."

Wang Yiming turned to Huo Qingyan and said, "Brother Yan, if you really like it, let's just snatch it. The brothers will help you."

Huo Qingyan's heart skipped a beat, then he laughed self-deprecatingly. She didn't even know him, there wasn't even a basic emotional connection between them, so what was the point of trying to steal him?

Huo Qingyan couldn't help but kick Wang Yiming. He hadn't felt anything at first, but after Wang Yiming said that, he felt a little uncomfortable. "Stop talking nonsense. Are you going to drink or not? If not, go back to the factory."

Wang Yiming rubbed his sore butt and groaned, "Drink, drink, drink, Brother Yan, I'll drink with you until we drop today. What's the big deal? There are plenty of fish in the sea. Our Brother Yan is a dragon among men, with countless girls lining up for him."

"When we get back, we'll pick one properly, the most beautiful and best one. Forget about Lin Yue and Wu Yue."

Huo Qingyan raised her foot again, but Wang Yiming dodged it this time and jogged ahead to lead the way.

Huo Qingyan glanced back at the hospital, exhaled a long breath, and realized that the order of things was very important. Even if you met the right person at the wrong time, you could only look on with envy.

Meanwhile, Lin Mei was also hospitalized. Lin's mother was happily counting the money. She not only made Zhou Long pay the medical expenses, but also extorted 100 yuan from Zhou Long.

Although Zhou Long was unwilling, he didn't want to make things worse. After all, he had deliberately framed the person, and if it were really found out, he might not be able to stay at the garment factory anymore.

Lin's mother was planning to go to the garment factory again and squeeze another pound out of them; such a big factory certainly didn't lack money.

Lin Mei's eyes were red and swollen. She looked at her head repeatedly in the mirror, wondering what would happen if she was left with scars.

She was filled with regret. Why had she acted so impulsively? "It's all Lin Yue's fault. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be like this now. I hate her so much."

She wanted to smash the mirror on the ground, but couldn't bring herself to do it, so she threw it hard onto the bed instead.

Lin's mother stuffed the money into her pocket and glared at Lin Mei. "I told you to go and speak ill of her, and now you've gotten yourself into the theft mess?"

Lin Mei gripped the bedsheet tightly. "It's all because of that Lin Yue. Someone actually helped her, calling the police and the Women's Federation. That policeman is the worst. He even took my previous statement and embarrassed me in front of so many people. If I weren't smart, they would have arrested me and taken me to the police station long ago."

Lin Mei was also seething with hatred, as if Lin Yue's good life was a painful blow to their whole family. "So what can we do now? Are we helpless against her? Chang Jinxiang is guarding the ward every step of the way. I can't even find a chance to break her other leg."

Lin Mei thought of Wang Xiuyun in the Cultural Bureau compound and laughed triumphantly, "Luckily, I have a second trick up my sleeve. Everyone in the Cultural Bureau compound knows about her scandals now and will definitely kick her out."

Before long, the cultural bureau will come looking for her and force Chang Jinxiang to divorce her. At that point, she won't be able to explain herself.

"That man can't stand a woman embarrassing him. Once my brother-in-law divorces her, he'll definitely marry me."

Lin's mother also smiled broadly, "Our Xiaomei is really capable. Let's see how long that little slut can keep up her smugness."

She thought for a moment and then said, "So we're just going to let her go like this? She's being well taken care of in the hospital, and just looking at me makes me angry. Isn't there any way to make her not be able to stay there peacefully? Ideally, she should be so angry that she vomits blood and dies."

Reminded by her mother, Lin Mei thought of someone: Shen Rong. When she left the police station, she saw the Shen family causing a scene inside.

If they find out Lin Yue is in the hospital, they'll definitely cause a huge uproar, and Lin Yue won't have anywhere to hide.

A glint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes. "Mother, go to the police station and find Shen Rong's family. Tell them that Lin Yue caused Shen Rong's arrest. Also, tell them which ward Lin Yue is in. We'll just wait and see what happens."

Lin Erdan arrived at Lin Mei's ward at this time. He was starving and started wailing as soon as he saw his mother, "Mom, I'm starving! I want to eat meat! I passed by Lin Yue's ward just now and saw them eating chicken legs. I wanted to snatch some, but Chang Jinxiang was there, so I didn't dare to go in."

Lin's mother gently stroked Lin Erdan's head, "Good son, Mom has money now. Mom will buy you big chicken legs. Before long, that Lin Yue will give you all the good food and make her kneel down and kowtow to you to apologize."

Lin Erdan jumped two meters high, "Great, great, I'll get a big chicken leg to eat!"

The two walked out of the ward hand in hand, neither of them paying attention to Lin's mother, nor even asking her what she wanted to eat.

Lin Mei's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. That money was earned with her life, and it had all been taken away by her mother.

She wanted to go find Chang Jingxiang, thinking that he would feel sorry for her if he saw her like this and would buy her something delicious. But she didn't want him to see her in her current ugly state, so she could only lie in bed hungry.

Lin Mei hoped that Lin's mother would have a conscience and bring her some food back. However, the thought of the Shen family's fierce appearance made Lin Mei happy; they would definitely make things difficult for Lin Yue.

Those people acted like idiots at the police station; if they came to the hospital, they'd probably tear the roof off. Even if Chang Jinxiang was incredibly strong, he couldn't fight off so many opponents; he wouldn't get the better of them.

Shen Rong's sister, in particular, is the epitome of a shrew. She even tore the police officer's uniform. Dealing with Lin Yue would be a piece of cake for her.

Thinking of Lin Yue's disheveled appearance, Lin Mei felt so happy she wanted to jump for joy, "Ouch, that hurts so much!"
