Zheng Lanlan acted faster than they expected. The afternoon after Zheng's sister-in-law came to deliver the news, she lingered on the road two or three hundred meters away from Yu Rujia's house, preparing to wait for Gao Shujing's arrival.

Zheng Lanlan spent a few days in the fields. Although she didn't have to work, she couldn't stand being forced to get up early every day to work.

In particular, every time she left, Zheng Daxiong, who lived far away from her workplace, would notice and come to call her back to work, which made her even angrier, and she even harbored some resentment towards Zheng Daxiong.

She felt that Zheng Daxiong wanted to marry into a good family, but not only did he not help her, he also often blocked her, showing no desire for her to be happy.

So they prepared to take action against Gao Shujing, following the plan they had discussed with Li Xiaoyuan.

Because Zheng Daxiong was keeping a close eye on her, Li Xiaoyuan had no choice but to bribe a grandson with eggs to keep an eye on Gao Shujing's schedule.

After observing for several days, they learned the times Gao Shujing went out and came back each day. They planned to stake out his way back that night, hoping to force him to marry her.

Zheng Lanlan appeared on Gao Shujing's way back two days ago, but unfortunately he didn't stop to greet her, and he even deliberately ignored her calls.

So the mother and daughter decided to make their move today. They planned to pretend to accidentally bump into Gao Shujing's bicycle as it passed by, and then look for an opportunity to strike.

When Gao Shujing saw her rushing straight towards him, he guessed her plan and quickly turned the car around, avoiding being hit by Zheng Lanlan. At the same time, he gave her an opening to take advantage of.

Due to inertia, Zheng Lanlan, who didn't hit the bicycle, fell to the ground. She was a little disappointed that she hadn't hit Gao Shujing's bicycle, but she was also happy that he had stopped, allowing her to begin her next plan.

Zheng Lanlan's presence here naturally indicates that she has finished work.

Although the sun had long since set, it was still clearly visible. There were mountains on both sides of the road, and some team members who had finished work would often go up the mountains to pick mushrooms and firewood.

The place Gao Shujing found was where someone was picking mushrooms.

This woman was Jiang Damei, the wife of accountant Wu Shengli, a woman who, when she got angry, could beat her husband so badly he was left with nothing.

Zheng Lanlan was only focused on her own plans and Gao Shujing at the time and did not notice Jiang Damei on the mountain.

Seeing that Gao Shujing had gotten off the bicycle as she wished, she wanted to play the victim first: "Officer Gao, I twisted my ankle. Could you take me home?"

A woman in the prime of her life, so charming and beautiful, making such a request would usually evoke pity in most men. Unfortunately, Gao Shujing possessed a heart of stone that was completely different from his gentle appearance, and he was not moved in the slightest.

Gao Shujing: "Men and women should not touch each other. Wait here for a moment, I will go in and call some aunties to come and carry you."

Zheng Lanlan pretended to be weak and started to shed tears: "I'm in so much pain, I might not be able to wait for them to come. Could you help me first? My mom will thank you."

Gao Shujing remained unmoved: "Twisting your ankle won't kill you, just bear with it." With that, he turned around to pick up his bicycle.

Even though she had begged him so much, he remained unmoved. Zheng Lanlan was furious, but she couldn't bear to give up Gao Shujing, this golden son-in-law.

Taking advantage of Gao Shujing's inattention, Zheng Lanlan immediately reached out and took out the medicine she had prepared in advance, then threw it at Gao Shujing from behind.

Hearing the commotion and seeing that the two most popular figures in the team these past few days were there, Jiang Damei's gossipy nature was aroused. She stopped picking mushrooms and stood on the mountain not far away to watch.

Seeing Zheng Lanlan's actions, Jiang Damei loudly reminded her, "Officer Gao, be careful."

Zheng Lanlan was startled by the sudden sound, and the medicine she hadn't finished applying fell on her.

Gao Shujing pretended to be startled and turned around, touching the white powder on his body. He asked Zheng Lanlan with a cold face, "What kind of medicine is this? What do you want to do to me?"

He had applied a cooling spray mixed by Yu Rujia to his body, so ordinary aphrodisiacs wouldn't affect him. He deliberately lured her into sprinkling the powder as evidence to make Zheng Lanlan suffer the consequences.

Unaware of the situation, Jiang Damei ran down the mountain and urged, "Officer Gao, no matter what kind of medicine it is, go back and check on Yu Zhiqing first, lest you fall into her trap."

Her loud shouts attracted other people not far up the mountain. They came over when they heard the noise, and Huang Guihua and Gou Dan were among them.

Huang Guihua: "Big sister, what happened?"

Jiang Damei: "Just now, Zheng Lanlan must have sprinkled some kind of drug on Officer Gao."

Li Xiaoyuan, who was waiting in the distance to catch the adulterers in the act, saw that something was wrong and hurriedly ran downstairs. Upon hearing this, she immediately started cursing.

Li Xiaoyuan: "You bitch, don't talk nonsense. It was clearly Officer Gao who wanted to insult my Lanlan because she was pretty. How can you twist the truth like this?"

The outspoken Jiang Damei wouldn't let herself be wronged like this, and immediately retorted: "I saw it clearly, it was Zheng Lanlan who sprinkled the drug on Officer Gao."

"We know that you were rejected when you proposed to Officer Gao. If he were willing to marry your Lanlan, would he need to go to so much trouble?"

"I think you're just unwilling to give up and want to use these underhanded tricks to frame Officer Gao. Do you think we're all blind?"

Everyone in Zheng Daxiong's family knew that Li Xiaoyuan had proposed marriage to Gao Shujing on behalf of Zheng Lanlan. The sisters-in-law had long been disgusted with Zheng Lanlan and would never want her to marry into the same production brigade.

So they spread the news in private that her marriage proposal had been rejected, in order to ruin her reputation and force her to marry someone from afar.

The news spread like wildfire, and now the entire brigade knows about it.

Yu Rujia had just put the dirty clothes that the little ones had changed out of into a basin, intending to wash them when Gao Shujing or Gao Guojing had time, when Gou Dan ran in from outside.

Dog Egg: "Aunt Yu, come quick! Someone's going to eat Uncle Gao! My mom's telling you to go save Uncle Gao!"

Yu Rujia guessed that Zheng Lanlan must have made the move; Huang Guihua's attempt to relay the message via Gou Dan was too comical. Given Gao Shujing's personality, he wasn't the type to suffer a loss.

The terrifying news that someone wanted to eat Gao Shujing clearly frightened the little ones. No matter how intelligent they were, their limited experience meant they didn't understand that people shouldn't be eaten, and they took Gou Dan's words seriously.

Duofu was so anxious that tears were almost falling: "Who wants to eat Uncle?"

Dorowa burst into tears: "Don't eat Uncle, you're a bad person."

Doro's crying made Doki cry along with him: "Hit, hit the bad guys."

Duo Shou's mouth also pursed. Compared to Duo Lu and Duo Xi's loud wailing, the little guy was so anxious that tears were falling, but he didn't wail loudly.

Duo Shou grabbed Yu Rujia's trouser leg and said, "Auntie, let's go save Uncle."
