This year, a new batch of educated youth arrived at the island where Jiang Hui was located. One of them was from the Northwest. She was very pretty, but when she arrived, her clothes were patched, making her the one with the worst conditions among all the educated youth.

This girl's name is Ma Huifang. Her family is indeed very poor, and she has many brothers and sisters. Going to the countryside is her only way out. Otherwise, she would have to get married to exchange for dowries to help her brothers find wives.

When she arrived here, she found that there was no shortage of food and drink. At first, she was still very honest. But as she saw some of the better-off educated youth buying clothes and snacks that she had never seen before, her heart slowly changed.

Because she was indeed good-looking, many male educated youths and young men on the island fawned over her. At first, she accepted all of them, but later she found that they didn't offer her much; they could only help her with chores or give her small favors.

What she wanted was to live a good life forever, not to be bribed with small favors before marriage and then treated like an ox to serve the whole family after marriage.

After comparing several options, she set her sights on Jiang Hui, a handsome teacher from Beijing. The main reason was the monthly packages Jiang Hui received.

Jiang Ruyu stopped sending him everything like before, fearing that he would suffer in the countryside. Now she sends a package once a month, containing coupons such as meat coupons and sugar coupons. Every two months she also sends him snacks like meat sauce, candy, and biscuits, afraid that Jiang Hui would be too frugal to buy them.

Jiang Hui was tall and thin, with a good personality. He never spoke rashly, and many young girls and female educated youths on the island liked him. Except for his different attitude towards Han Ling, he was polite but distant to everyone else.

It's not that no one has openly pursued him, but he has firmly rejected them all, making it clear that he has someone he likes, but that person hasn't agreed to establish a romantic relationship with him yet.

Anyone with a discerning eye knew who he was talking about. Han Ling also relented because of Jiang Hui's clear stance this time, saying she would give him a reply after she told her mother about it.

Not long after that, a young educated youth on the island was getting married, and he was marrying the daughter of the island's brigade leader. This was considered a great joy for the young educated youth and the island's commune members. The brigade leader's family set up several tables and prepared a lot of homemade liquor as wedding wine.

Jiang Hui was forced to drink alcohol at this banquet.

The person who forced him to drink was either trying to make things difficult for him, or was a former educated youth who had been rejected by him, or someone who disliked him, or someone who was deliberately trying to scheme against him.

Although Jiang Hui had a good alcohol tolerance, he hadn't really been to a drinking table much. He was teased by others and ended up drinking almost half a kilogram of liquor. This kind of homemade liquor had a high alcohol content and a strong aftereffect.

When Jiang Hui left the dinner table, he was still able to walk soberly. Under Han Ling's worried gaze, he returned to his place. Han Ling thought for a moment and decided to go back and make some mint water for Jiang Hui to help him sober up.

Banquets on the island are always held at night, and Jiang Hui didn't get home until after nine o'clock. He was a little unsteady on his feet once he was away from the crowd. Han Ling only escorted him to his doorstep, as it was easy for people to gossip if a man and a woman were alone in a room together.

Han Ling had only been gone a few minutes when Ma Huifang arrived. A struggle flashed in her eyes, but in the end she gritted her teeth and went into Jiang Hui's house.

Jiang Hui was probably very drunk. He went in and just closed the door without locking it. Ma Huifang pushed the door open and it opened. She was secretly pleased, thinking it was fate.

She entered the house without locking the door, only closing it behind her. She groped her way into Jiang Hui's room, where Jiang Hui hadn't even taken off his shoes before collapsing onto the bed. By the moonlight streaming through the window, Ma Huifang could clearly see Jiang Hui's handsome face.

"Marrying you is not a waste of this beautiful face." Ma Huifang went up and gently took off Jiang Hui's shoes. Just as she was about to unbuckle his belt, Jiang Hui sensed something was wrong. He was drunk, not dead.

"Who are you?" Jiang Hui opened his eyes, sat up abruptly, and almost fell off the bed in his dazed state.

Ma Huifang never expected that he could wake up after being so drunk. Since things had already come to this point, she might as well go all the way.

Ma Huifang suddenly lunged at Jiang Hui. Jiang Hui was caught off guard. He was already quite drunk, and his mind was a complete mess. He was caught off guard when someone suddenly tackled him onto the bed. His head hit the wooden headboard, which made him even more confused, but it also woke him up with a start.

He was shocked that this woman, whom he didn't know, actually tried to force herself on him. It was incredibly insulting and disgusting.

"Get out of here! You're a woman, how can you have no shame? Do you think you can get away with anything just because you're a woman? I'm definitely going to report you tomorrow."

Jiang Hui was furious. He was a perfectly normal man, yet a woman had pushed him down and tried to rip off his clothes. She was shameless.

Jiang Hui was, after all, a man. Even if he was drunk, the physiological differences between men and women were not so easy to overcome. Ma Huifang was kicked off the bed by Jiang Hui.

She was furious: "Jiang Hui, you're so ungrateful! I'm so beautiful, how am I not good enough for you? And you're still making excuses."

Jiang Hui was so angry he almost spat out blood: "Get out of here, and I'll pretend this never happened. Otherwise, you can imagine what will happen to you."

Ma Huifang didn't want to let go of this hard-won opportunity. She found a rolling pin and thought, "Even if I knock Jiang Hui unconscious today, I can walk out of here openly tomorrow, and Jiang Hui won't be able to explain himself."

Han Ling arrived at that moment, carrying a glass of mint water. Before even entering the room, she overheard what was being said inside, and it was quite an eye-opener.

She pushed the door open and splashed a whole mug of mint water in her hand onto Ma Huifang's face.

"Get out of here right now, or I'll make a scene and everyone will know. Otherwise, you'll be sent to some remote, unknown place. Have you thought this through?"

Ma Huifang dropped the rolling pin, covered her face, and ran out after seeing Han Ling's cold expression.

If only she and Jiang Hui knew about this, she wouldn't care. After all, they would be a couple in the future, and he wouldn't tell outsiders. But now that a third person had seen it, she immediately backed down.

Anyway, there's no way to blame Jiang Hui anymore, and there's no need to be humiliated here. Ma Huifang ran out of the yard, glanced into the house, and a calculating look flashed in her eyes. "Hmph, I'll give you a hand."

Han Ling watched her run out, then turned to look at Jiang Hui, who was now in a rather disheveled state, his clothes torn and wrinkled.

Jiang Hui finally breathed a sigh of relief. What he was really afraid of was that someone would hear the noise and come over to see. If that happened, he would be in deep trouble, and he wouldn't be able to explain himself.

Han Ling laughed: "You're really unlucky. You're not exactly a piece of Tang Monk's flesh, so why are so many people throwing themselves at you? Look at how many there are already, and this one is even more terrifying."

Jiang Hui lay down on the bed and said, "Han Ling, let's get our marriage certificate."
