Ancestors, I told you to seduce the villains, not to turn evil.

On the oxcart, everyone pricked up their ears to listen to the commotion.

Xu Manman said she was a hundred times better than Liu Minhua.

At first, everyone couldn't help but laugh, but after thinking about it carefully, they realized that it was indeed true.

Upon seeing Fei Huainan's disability, the Liu family immediately denied the existence of the childhood betrothal.

Although Xu Manman used tricks to marry Fei Huainan, Fei Huainan was no longer the high-ranking official he once was.

If it weren't for her stepmother pressuring her, Xu Manman would never have married Fei Huai.

In this matter, Fei Huainan is not at a disadvantage.

Even after they got married, Xu Manman didn't abandon Fei Huainan and run away.

Last time Li Bin arrested someone, if it weren't for Xu Manman, he might have actually beaten that person to death.

Thinking about it this way, Fei Huainan was really able to survive thanks to Xu Manman.

"Speaking of which, the Liu family used to tell everyone that Fei Huainan was their son-in-law. Their smug faces, tsk tsk, I still remember them."

"Who says otherwise! They turn their backs on someone after they've been hurt. It's like something out of a play. I remember what the word was, something about riches."

"Snobbish on the poor and fond of the rich."

"Yes, they are the kind of people who are greedy and snobbish. They fawn over people who become officials, but when someone gets injured, they turn their backs and say there was no such thing as a childhood betrothal. I would never dare to be related to such a family by marriage."

Rural people also have their own reputation. If they have a good reputation, it is easy to arrange marriages for their sons and daughters. If they have a bad reputation, it is difficult to arrange marriages.

Liu Minhua was so angry at Xu Manman that she was speechless.

I'm almost in tears from all the gossip these old hags are giving me.

What do those old hags know? She doesn't even want to marry their son!

Liu Minhua's eyes welled up with tears, and she looked like she had been wronged.

Unfortunately, no one bought into it. They kept talking back and forth, making everyone want to dig a hole and crawl into it.

At this moment, Liu's mother walked over, and everyone looked at her with disdain.

Liu's mother was completely bewildered. She had fed the pigs and done nothing, so what kind of terrible looks did these people have?

Xu Manman confronted Liu Minhua, and then went to the county town for some peace and quiet.

This time she didn't need to buy anything, so she went straight to the state-run restaurant.

Xu Manman arrived an hour early, thinking she was early enough, but Lin Miaomiao was even earlier.

She was sitting next to a middle-aged woman, without any companions.

Xu Manman walked in: "Comrade Lin, you've been here for a while? I thought I was early enough!"

Lin Miaomiao felt a little embarrassed.

Actually, they weren't waiting for Xu Manman; they were waiting for the master the group leader would visit.

The master wasn't here yesterday, so we arranged to meet here today.

Lin Miaomiao's group leader was named Gao Qiuyue. After hearing Lin Miaomiao's account of yesterday's events, Gao Qiuyue had no hope of reconciliation.

She didn't know Xu Manman well, but she noticed that she was a young woman and her clothes weren't very nice.

She didn't mean to look down on Xu Manman; she just felt that someone of Xu Manman's background was unlikely to know any great literary masters.

Even if Xu Manman knew a literary master, she might not be able to write the script she wanted.

This time, she wanted a script that could defeat the Second Regiment, not an ordinary script.

This requires a high level of creativity; at least a master level is needed.

Knowing the leader's personality, Lin Miaomiao was afraid that she would say something hurtful, so she quietly tugged at her clothes.

Regardless, since the person is here, we should at least take a look at them, whether they're capable or not.

Gao Qiuyue valued Lin Miaomiao highly, recognizing her talent and resilience. Seeing Lin Miaomiao pulling at her, Gao Qiuyue's expression softened.

She looked at Xu Manman: "You didn't write the script, did you?"

Xu Manman didn't explain much, but instead pushed the script over: "You can take a look at the content first."

If you like it, everything is fine; if you don't, there's no point in talking about it.

Gao Qiuyue didn't move. Her time was precious, and she really didn't want to waste it on something like this.

Lin Miaomiao tugged at Gao Qiuyue's sleeve again, picked up the script, and handed it to Gao Qiuyue: "Team Leader, take a look."

Gao Qiuyue sighed. Anyway, she had nothing else to do, so she decided to wait and see.

She casually opened the notebook.

Lin Miaomiao felt that the group leader probably didn't like the notebook that Xu Manman brought.

This time, her troupe leader wanted a script that could outshine the second troupe. She knew how high that requirement was; apart from a few top masters, no one else could write it.

Xu Manman was destined to be disappointed.

She wanted to offer some comfort, but didn't know how, so she changed the subject.

"I didn't ask your name when we last met."

"Xu Manman, the 'man' in 'vine'."

"Lin Miaomiao, Miao as in 'witty and eloquent'."

Lin Miaomiao appears aloof, but once you get to know her, you'll find she's quite easy to talk to.

The two exchanged names. Lin Miaomiao talked about some interesting things that happened in the army, while Xu Manman talked about interesting things that happened in the village.

Lin Miaomiao is a typical city girl from a well-off family who has never been to the countryside.

Hearing that there are wild fruits, green hills and clear waters on the mountain, I felt a sense of longing.

After chatting for a while, the two became more familiar with each other.

Lin Miaomiao said in a low voice, "I'm afraid your notebook..."

The regimental commander didn't think much of it.

Before he could finish speaking, he slammed his fist on the table.

"Snapped".

Gao Qiuyue was emotional, and her grip on the script was fierce.

Everyone turned around.

Lin Miaomiao quickly smiled and said, "I'm sorry, it was an accident, an accident."

When people saw the clothes she was wearing, their gazes softened considerably.

These days, people who wear military uniforms are respected.

Lin Miaomiao calmed the people around her before looking at the group leader with a surprised expression.

Even if the notebook isn't well-written, there's no need to get so angry!

Her group leader has a cool and aloof personality, speaks little, and is serious. None of the sisters in the group are afraid of her.

If the regimental commander weren't her aunt, she wouldn't dare to be so close to him.

For someone with such a cool and aloof personality to get angry, this notebook must be incredibly poorly written!

Just as Lin Miaomiao was about to speak to ease the tension, she saw Gao Qiuyue put down her script, her eyes filled with tears.

She was even more terrified.

"Commander, Commander, don't scare me..."

Her aunt was a strong-willed person who never shed tears, so her sudden outburst of tears startled her.

Gao Qiuyue ignored her niece and instead stared intently at Xu Manman.

"Great, this is so well written. I'll take this script. I wonder if I could meet the master screenwriter."

Xu Manman's attitude towards Gao Qiuyue was not unexpected.

She had a knack for controlling her readers. In the era that followed, when books were all the rage, those that couldn't attract readers simply had no chance of survival.

But let's skip meeting.

"This was written by an elder of mine. His family urgently needed money, so he just wanted to give them the money."

Upon hearing this, Gao Qiuyue fell into deep thought.

Although the book is well-written, the writing style is not very mature. It has a strong storyline, but its handling of stage plays is awkward.

It must be a work by another literary master; the author probably wasn't very good at stage plays.

However, its compelling storytelling makes up for these shortcomings.

Gao Qiuyue was drawn to this script because the story was novel, more impactful, and had a more perfect stage effect than the current scripts.

Moreover, she discovered that the protagonist's character was very similar to her niece's personality.

If Lin Miaomiao were to act in this script, it would definitely have a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts.
