It seems like springtime is in the air, and everywhere people are celebrating weddings and discussing marriages.

Lin Yu heard that Hu Youcai, who fell into the cesspool, is now going on a blind date.

"Didn't they say he has mental problems and that matchmakers won't introduce him to potential partners?"

Lin Yu also heard it from the paparazzi Song Meili.

Song Meili replied, "Matchmakers may not be willing to introduce girls from good families, but there are also remarried girls."

Song Meili looked around. Only Ou Manqing, Zhang Bing, and Lin Yu from the office were there. She said, "I heard that the matchmaker introduced him to a young widow who is extremely beautiful."

Lin Yu immediately became interested: "Really? How beautiful?"

Song Meili said, "It's said she was exceptionally beautiful. As soon as she married into the family, her first husband died. Everyone says she's a vixen who sucks people's life force!"

No wonder she was so careful; saying such things could get her arrested for superstition.

Fortunately, the people here are all on our side.

Zhang Bing could be considered half of one. He's a decent person now, probably because he knows he's now part of the Lianhua Brigade and a member of the educated youth, so he's not as selfish as before.

Song Meili and the others accepted him and treated him as one of their own.

Therefore, he didn't hide it from him when he said this.

Lin Yu rolled her eyes: "What fox spirit sucking life force? Her husband died on his own, why blame her?"

Women face many difficulties in this world. If a husband dies, she becomes a widow, which is bad enough.

And then people start gossiping about these vixens.

Song Meili told her not to interrupt: "She's not a vixen at all. She's the White-Haired Girl, Little Cabbage, who was sold by her parents to a sickly man as his wife."

No wonder her husband died after she married him; she was already sick to begin with.

Ou Manqing, a man who had seen much of life, sighed upon hearing about the woman's fate and asked again:

"So, she's introducing him to Hu Youcai now?"

If you can find a place to settle down, that would be a good thing.

"But I heard that Hu Youcai isn't a good person." Song Meili is now very familiar with the older women who work at the workshop, and she heard these things from them.

It is said that Hu Youcai is in his twenties and has never married.

It's because he has a bad reputation. A few years ago, he attended some kind of meeting and even tried to bring people to the brigade to smash and loot.

Fortunately, Captain Lin was there and managed to get rid of those people. Hu Youcai didn't dare to offend the captain, so he let the Lianhua Brigade go.

Later, for some reason, his group dispersed, so he returned to the brigade. He said he was going to work, but he was actually just dawdling every day.

No one in the team wanted to associate with him; they thought he was terrifying.

Everyone in the team watched him grow up, and no one ever bullied him, yet he actually wanted to lead a group to attack them!

Other brigades were also ravaged by them. It is said that he was only a teenager at the time, but he was already notorious for his evil deeds.

Therefore, the reason he couldn't find a partner wasn't because of the incident of falling into a cesspool, but because good families were unwilling to marry their daughters to such a person.

The matchmaker took this opportunity to reject their family.

Little did they know that their family offered generous terms, no longer requiring a virgin; divorced women or widows were acceptable, but they required her to be beautiful and fertile.

Ou Manqing frowned upon hearing this: "So that widow is going to be sold again?"

She thought she had found a good home, but it turned out she was just sold again, and to a man like this!

Qi Mei was unaware of Hu Youcai's reputation.

Her husband's older sister said she wanted to introduce her to a potential partner. She thought her mother-in-law would object, but for some reason, the mother and daughter were very attentive to her when they came out, saying they would marry her off as if she were their own daughter.

Qi Mei didn't believe that her usually sharp-tongued mother-in-law would be so kind, but when she thought of the Lotus Brigade and Chen Songbai's future wife, she inexplicably agreed to go on the blind date.

So, early in the morning, Qi Mei got ready, and her sister-in-law even brought her a new dress, clearly showing how much she valued this blind date.

"Why not wear new clothes?" Qi Mei thought, and she did.

As she walked all the way to the Lotus Brigade, Qi Mei remained completely calm. Who the person she was with was not important; her life was simply like that, never in her own hands.

As soon as you enter Lianhua Brigade, you can see that the environment here is much better than that of Dongshan Brigade.

The road was smooth, and many of the houses were made of stone or brick. I also saw a very beautiful house with blue bricks and tiles.

It seems that the people here are indeed living a relatively good life.

She also saw several women walking over, one of whom was holding a child who was quite cute.

They heard someone greet them: "Oh, the Four Golden Flowers are out again."

A girl with two dimples when she smiled said to the other person, "Wuduo, didn't you see our little Ruyi?"

"Hey, yes, yes, there's a flower bud too."

Qi Mei smiled unconsciously; everyone here seemed so happy.

Then I heard another girl say, "Xiaoyu, the workshop..."

Qi Mei stopped in her tracks. Her sister-in-law, who was chatting with the matchmaker ahead of her, didn't notice her.

She looked at the girl and suddenly said, "Hello."

Lin Yu was a little confused. Why was there an unfamiliar beautiful woman here?

"Hello, may I ask who you are?" Lin Yu knew most of the young girls in their brigade, so she could confirm that this girl was not from their area.

The girl said, "My name is Qi Mei. I'm here to visit relatives. What's your name?"

Seeing that she was with two women, Lin Yu believed her claim that she was visiting relatives. "My name is Lin Yu."

Qi Mei suddenly smiled and said, "You are very beautiful."

Lin Yu thanked her, saying, "You're very pretty too."

This is not an exaggeration; the girl has a naturally soft and gentle appearance, with exquisite features. She is wearing a brand-new top and looks somewhat delicate and charming.

Lin Yu thought she was like Lin Daiyu, with a sentimental and melancholic demeanor.

They were just strangers, so they exchanged a few words and then parted ways.

But what Lin Yu didn't know was that Qi Mei had already heard of Lin Yu's name.

Chen Songbai said he would marry her, but she never even dared to dream of it; she knew it was impossible.

Therefore, when she learned that he would be going on a blind date with Comrade Lin Yu, she was just sad, but she did not think of ruining it.

She thought this might be a piece of candy from heaven, and once she finished it, it would be gone.

Shortly after Qi Mei and her sister-in-law left, Chen Jianghu arrived at Lianhua Brigade with Chen Songbai.

"Dad, I told you I won't go on a blind date with that Comrade Lin Yu. I love Qi Mei!"

"Alright, stop talking about love all the time. I'm not deaf."

"Father, why did you still make me come to the Lotus Brigade with you?"

"I'm just an old man, I can't walk anymore. I asked you to come with me for a walk, but you're not happy about it. You unfilial son!"

Since it wasn't a blind date, Chen Songbai felt relieved and quickly said, "Dad, how could that be? I'll do whatever you want me to do."

Chen Jianghu thought to himself, "You refuse to marry the wife I'm supposed to, so what's with all this talk about being obedient?"

If they hadn't used their tricks...
