Lin Yu awakens with memories of her past life and discovers she is a cannon fodder supporting character in a modern-era novel. The female lead is the real heiress, and Lin Yu is merely a fake heire...

Chapter 38 Ou Manqing's Blessings to Zhang and His Wife

Yu Haiyang blurted out, "Let's get our marriage certificate tomorrow!"

Zhang Lili looked at him with surprise and emotion, "Brother Haiyang~"

Yu Haiyang felt even more sorry for her. What had Lili done wrong? She just liked him too much.

It's all because of these people.

One day when he makes a comeback in the ocean, none of these people will have an easy time.

And then there's Zhou Huanan, who's usually so quiet. I never expected that a dog that bites doesn't bark.

If it weren't for him, my plan would definitely have succeeded.

Now, in order to avoid being arrested and sent to a labor camp, he had to change his plans.

Lin Yu watched Yu Haiyang's ever-changing expressions. Wow, this guy's face could switch between pain, hatred, and cunning in an instant. She was impressed. If there were an expression contest, he would definitely win first place.

However, this also suggests that Yu Haiyang may not have really intended to marry Zhang Lili, but was only forced into it by Zhou Huanan's words.

Even if Zhou Huanan hadn't said anything, they were still bound to get married.

Don't think that the old women in the countryside are easy to fool.

Once they find out that Yu Haiyang is playing tricks on them, things will be even worse; they'll make a scene and send him to a labor camp.

Yu Haiyang just thought he was the only smart one and that everyone else was a fool.

If he does something like this and doesn't marry Zhang Lili, what will happen to the other people in the educated youth settlement?

They also have to be human beings.

If two educated youths were to have extramarital affairs, the reputations of the others would also be ruined.

This era places greater emphasis on reputation, which plays a crucial role in promoting advanced individuals and even recommending worker-peasant-soldier universities in the future.

For the sake of all the educated youth, Zhou Huanan was right to let them get married.

Lin Yu felt that Zhou Huanan had been very merciful, as he wasn't forcing them to die.

Otherwise, you could just report them on behalf of the entire educated youth settlement and send them to labor camps; you could even get a reward for reporting them.

Whether Zhou Huanan had thought of this or not, Lin Yu believed that by doing so, he had already acted as a very responsible leader of the educated youth team.

However, Yu Haiyang doesn't seem to think that way.

He harbored hatred towards Zhou Huanan.

After everyone had left, Lin Yu said to Gu Yunze, "Remind your captain, Yu Haiyang seems to be starting to hate him. Don't let him get you into trouble."

You can tell from that novel that Yu Haiyang is ruthless and has no conscience at all.

He could even kill his wife who had been with him for many years; he's hardly human.

Gu Yunze understood, but he felt a little jealous of Lin Yu's concern for Zhou Huanan. "You care so much about Zhou Huanan?"

Lin Yu wrinkled her nose. "Can you smell anything?"

Gu Yunze: "What?"

"It's so sour, Xiao Bao, can you smell it? It's sour. I wonder whose vinegar jar has been spilled."

Xiao Bao chuckled, "Sour, vinegary."

Gu Yunze: "I didn't."

Lin Yu nodded. "Yes, you're not jealous. That means you don't care."

She's about to start acting up.

Gu Yunze quickly said, "I care, I care, I'm jealous, I'm jealous."

Lin Yu snorted.

Xiao Bao also said, "Hmph."

Gu Yunze looked helplessly at the two children, one big and one small, "Xiaoyu, Xiaobao."

Seeing his awkwardness, Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh.

"Forget it, I forgive you. But think about it, I'm not familiar with Zhou Huanan. Am I supposed to go and talk to him myself?"

"I'm doing this for the sake of harmony in your educated youth settlement. I think he's doing a good job as team leader; it would be troublesome if anything went wrong."

Gu Yunze understood this principle and nodded.

"Yes, I will remind him. Actually, Yu Haiyang doesn't have much ability to cause trouble; he's just all bark and no bite."

"Yeah, yeah, this guy is no good. Don't get too close to him."

Gu Yunze glanced in the direction of the educated youth settlement and guessed that this matter would not be so easy to resolve.

Yu Haiyang had told them that he and Ou Manqing were childhood sweethearts and that their families had a verbal engagement.

But in his opinion, Ou Manqing had no feelings for Haiyang at all, and sometimes it was even clear that she was annoyed by this man.

He didn't think that what happened today was "accidentally" discovered; he didn't know who was behind it.

The educated youth settlement is probably going to be lively again.

Lin Yu put Xiao Bao down and let him walk on his own, holding his little hand. "We're going home now. Say goodbye to Uncle, Xiao Bao."

Xiao Bao: "Goodbye, Uncle."

Gu Yunze: "Xiao Bao calls you 'sister,' you should call me 'brother,' why are you calling me 'uncle'?"

Lin Yu chuckled, "Because you look old."

Gu Yunze is 21 years old this year. He is 1.88 meters tall, very strong, and his face is not fair. He looks very mature and steady.

He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would call someone "brother."

Before Gu Yunze could say anything more, Lin Yu had already pulled Xiao Bao away.

Oh well, I'm three years older than her, so I should be more accommodating.

-

As soon as Gu Yunze entered the educated youth settlement, he saw Zhang Lili standing behind Yu Haiyang, crying and talking to Ou Manqing.

Song Meili was standing next to Ou Manqing.

The other female educated youth hid in their rooms and looked out.

Gu Yunze stopped when he realized that Ou Manqing was Lin Yu's friend.

Yu Haiyang pleaded, "Manqing, you have to believe me, I love you, and we're going to get married."

Zhang Lili cried and said, "Manqing, it's all my fault. I couldn't help myself. Haiyang-ge wanted to reject me."

“Manqing, he really loves you. Please forgive me. I will never bother you again.”

Ou Manqing sneered, "Do you even believe what you say? Yu Haiyang, you still want to marry me?"

Yu Haiyang hurriedly said, "Manqing, we were already engaged. We've known each other since we were little, and it's been a long time..."

These words left much to the imagination, making people think that something had already happened between him and Ou Manqing.

Song Meili stepped forward and said, "Pah! You shameless bastard, Manqing would never even look at you."

You're engaged, yet you still went to the cornfield with this woman? Did you just lose control?

"Anyone who goes into heat anytime, anywhere is an animal!"

Yu Haiyang frowned. "Song Zhiqing, this is between Manqing and me. You don't know anything about it, so don't interfere."

Song Meili put her hands on her hips, about to speak, when Ou Manqing spoke up.

"What Meili said is the same as what I said. As for Yu Haiyang, our engagement was just a joke made by our elders."

We have never crossed any lines, and I have never thought about marrying you.

Now that you're with Zhang Lili, I wish you both the best.

"No! Manqing, we're going to get married. Believe me, the person I love is you."

Yu Haiyang said in a panic.

Zhang Lili's face stiffened for a moment, then she resumed her crying expression.

"Manqing, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I'll step aside. You two should stay together."
