By the time Lin Shuya was woken up by pinching her philtrum, the matter had indeed become common knowledge.

Upon hearing the news, Lin Shuya felt her vision blur and as if she were about to faint again, but she gritted her teeth, digging her nails until her palms bled, and forced a smile, saying:

"Everyone, please disperse for now. I also need to inform my parents about this matter. I'll go to the county office tomorrow to make a call."

The matchmaker, naturally still by Lin Shuya's side, felt relieved upon hearing her words and said to Lin Shuya with a beaming smile:

"That makes sense, Lin Zhiqing. Alright, my task is done, so I'll be leaving now. Matchmaker, I'll be waiting to attend your wedding banquet."

Seeing that there was no more excitement to be had, the crowd dispersed, but in their hearts, they still associated Lin Shuya with promiscuity.

After Lin Shuya's incident, the female educated youth at the settlement, though they didn't show it on their faces, secretly despised and resented her.

Even a beautiful educated youth like Lin Shuya is willing to be with a lazy man like Liu San. Wouldn't the other villagers think that these educated youths are easy to bully? Who knows what will happen in the future!

Thinking of all this, the other female educated youths all distanced themselves from Lin Shuya, leaving her to walk back weakly alone.

Some of the male educated youth wanted to help, but since men and women are different, they could only pretend they didn't see it.

Lin Shuya felt the coldness of the world and her resentment towards Xu Shuwan grew stronger.

However, her situation is somewhat urgent, and she needs to resolve the Liu San matter quickly.

To deal with Liu San, we must first bring down Liu San's uncle—Accountant Liu.

According to the description in the book in her mind, Accountant Liu originally had a wife and children, but both children died young, and his wife ran away with someone else. So he took in his deceased brother and sister-in-law's child and raised him as his own. The child was the third child and had a humble name that would make him easier to raise, so he named the child Liu San (Liu the Third).

Liu San grew up smoothly, and Accountant Liu doted on him very much.

Liu San didn't work and just wandered around the village all day, which was allowed to go on. This spoiled him so much that he started doing things like bullying men and women.

Unfortunately, Accountant Liu had been the village accountant for over twenty years, and he was the only accountant in the village.

He's always smiling, but whenever it comes to his nephew, he'll cause trouble for him no matter who's right or wrong.

The villagers resented him greatly, but they couldn't find any evidence, so they could only put up with him and avoid Liu San in their daily lives. This only emboldened Liu San to become more and more domineering.

However, the book mentions that Accountant Liu was eventually found to have falsified accounts and embezzled a lot of public funds, which is something that could be investigated.

After finalizing her plan, Lin Shuya asked the village chief for leave early the next morning under the pretext of going to the county town to contact her parents, and headed straight to the county.

As soon as she landed, she submitted the complaint letter she had written earlier. Then she used the time to wander around the county, occasionally showing off the bracelet on her wrist. She only returned to the village when it was almost time.

After returning home, she pretended that she had already contacted her parents and told the villagers that her parents might come to see Liu San before getting married.

However, the two places are far apart and she needs to take leave, so it might take a few days. The villagers stopped asking her about it.

The only thing that bothered Lin Shuya was that Liu San had been harassing her from time to time ever since he openly proposed marriage, which was extremely annoying.

But thinking of what would happen to her uncle after his downfall, Lin Shuya could only suppress her temper and try to avoid him as much as possible.

Perhaps it was the protagonist's halo at work, but Lin Shuya's letter of complaint quickly received a response, and the higher authorities sent people to conduct a thorough investigation of Accountant Liu.

The information provided in Lin Shuya's whistleblower letter was very useful, and evidence of Accountant Liu's falsification of accounts and concealment of public funds was quickly found.

After Accountant Liu's downfall, his property was confiscated and he was taken away. He will probably have to spend his remaining years in a labor camp.

When Lin Shuya reported him, she also mentioned Liu San. Now that his uncle has fallen from power, no one can bail him out. The villagers have always had a lot of opinions about him and wish he would be arrested and detained for a few more years.

Seeing that Accountant Liu might not be able to get out in the future, they took the initiative to inform the police of Liu San's misdeeds, estimating that Liu San would have to stay in the labor camp for five or ten years.

After the matter was resolved, Lin Shuya enjoyed a few days of comfort. Those who were clever enough to realize that she might have been involved treated her with great politeness; while those who were unaware of this regarded her as a victim and felt much sympathy for her.
