"Don't say that. Look at you, you're alone now, and I'm alone too. We're a perfect match. If you marry me, I... I promise you, I'll raise this baby in your belly as my own, okay?"

Zhang Tiedan felt that since he had already said all that, Lin Yue'e should give him a way out and stop going against him.

"Is it necessary?"

Lin Yue'e felt that she had made her point clearly enough.

"Get out of here! I've never liked you from head to toe. Whether you're willing to raise my child or not, I won't marry you. Go away, and when you have time, go find a matchmaker and find someone else for you. Stop trying to seduce me; I don't need you. Is that clear enough?"

Lin Yue'e thought that by saying that, she was already kicking him out, and Zhang Tiedan should have left if he had any shame.

But to her utter surprise, Zhang Tiedan suddenly approached her and picked her up in one go.

"What are you doing? Let me go!"

Lin Yue'e never expected this to happen; she had been sexually assaulted.

Suddenly the door opened. A group of children crowded at the doorway and started shouting.

"Oh, he's carrying a flower bride, he's carrying a flower bride."

Lin Yue'e was somewhat bewildered by this situation; what exactly was going on?

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Tiedan grinned at him:

"Yue'e, I love you, please marry me."

After Zhang Tiedan finished speaking, he was about to bring his big mouth close to Lin Yue'e's face.

"This is intolerable!" Lin Yue'e thought to herself, her mind already racing. She raised her hand and slapped Zhang Tiedan across the face with all her might.

Zhang Tiedan was slapped, and he felt dizzy and his mouth tasted fishy.

Then Lin Yue'e jumped off his arms and started hitting him with the shovel.

"You shameless bastard, how dare you act like a pervert towards me! I'll beat you to death!"

Lin Yue'e was naturally strong, and she slapped Zhang Tiedan's back repeatedly. The pain made Zhang Tiedan forget about whether he had lost a tooth and immediately ran out the door.

"Lin Yue'e is going to marry Zhang Tiedan. The new bride beat her husband..."

Someone shouted, and a group of children ran away laughing.

Zhang Tiedan was beaten badly and ran outside to watch Lin Yue'e.

"Lin Yue'e, now the whole village knows you and I are embracing. Let's see who else you can marry if not me!"

Despite being beaten, Zhang Tiedan still wanted to marry Lin Yue'e.

Especially since he had just held her in his arms, it gave him the illusion that Lin Yue'e should be his wife, Zhang Tiedan's wife.

"Get lost, keep dreaming. Zhang Gou Dan, if you dare to mess with me again, next time I'll make sure you're childless."

Lin Yue'e, remembering how this man had hugged her and taken advantage of her, grabbed a shovel and aimed it at Zhang Tiedan's crotch.

Zhang Tiedan saw the shovel coming straight at his lower body. He immediately stepped back, breaking out in a cold sweat.

The shovel almost hit his genitals.

"You just wait. You're already on your second marriage, what are you being so coy about? You should be grateful that a man as good as me is willing to want you."

Seeing that he still dared to spew feces, Lin Yue'e rushed over, picked up a shovel, and was about to hit him again.

Zhang Tiedan was scared away.

"What happened?"

When Grandma Wang across the street saw that they were fighting, she immediately came out to ask what had happened.

"It's nothing, that bastard Zhang Tiedan."

Lin Yue'e cursed.

"Oh, Yue'e, why don't you write a letter to Gu Jingyan? Now that you're carrying his child, maybe there's still a chance for you two?"

Everyone in the village knew that Zhang Tiedan had feelings for Lin Yue'e. Even if Lin Yue'e didn't say anything, Grandma Wang knew.

"Maybe they knew I was pregnant, which is why they ran so fast."

Lin Yue'e recalled that day at the commune when Gu Jingyan gave her the ticket and then turned around as if afraid she would cling to him.

Gu Jingyan, who was in class at school at the time, felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. After dry heaving twice, he sneezed twice, attracting the attention of his classmates.

"Gu, are you suffering from a cold?"

The female classmate next to me asked with concern.

"No, it's probably just a case of not being used to the new environment."

Ever since Gu Jingyan arrived at school, he's been feeling nauseous constantly. He feels nauseous at the smell of anything strange, and he also feels nauseous while eating. In just one month, he's lost a lot of weight.

He went to the hospital for a checkup and also saw a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, who said he was healthy and had no problems.

"You look a lot like my sister-in-law when she was pregnant, but you're a man, so you can't get pregnant."

The female classmate was actually talking about herself. She had also been sent to the countryside to work and then passed the college entrance exam. Knowing that she was going to college, she even abandoned her baby who was less than three months old.

She's currently looking for a partner. Finding someone like-minded, a fellow university student, is crucial for a promising future. Therefore, Gu Jingyan has become her top choice.

Gu Jingyan was very handsome and dashing at school, and he was also well-dressed.

I heard that my family often sends me money and gifts.

It wasn't just this one female classmate; many girls came to see Gu Jingyan during breaks, all wanting to get to know him.

Gu Jingyan found the word "pregnancy" amusing. Just as she said, men can't get pregnant.

Perhaps his spleen and stomach were too weak. However, he didn't notice the feelings many of his female classmates had for him, and he often thought of Lin Yue'e. After all, she was the first woman he loved, but she had disappointed him greatly.

This also meant that he didn't have any thoughts about finding someone else for the time being, and he focused solely on learning.

In the afternoon, Lin Yue'e went to the village chief's house and made a public announcement, but no one came to turn themselves in. Taking a more lenient approach, Lin Yue'e went to the village chief's house early the next morning and notified the entire village again.

"I already said yesterday that anyone who stole from my house should turn themselves in. But it seems everyone's pretty arrogant, stealing my money and grain in broad daylight and smashing my things. I already said yesterday that I wouldn't pursue those who turned themselves in and returned their belongings. But since no one has confessed, I'll have to go to the town police station. You'd better watch yourselves."

After Lin Yue'e turned off the radio.

"Yue'e, there's no need to ask anyone else for help. It must have been your parents and brother who did it. I think we shouldn't make a big deal out of it. Let's just let it go."

Sun Jianguo didn't want Lin Yue'e to actually go and call the town's police. It would be so embarrassing if word got out.

"Uncle Jianguo, something went missing from my house. You helped me investigate, but you didn't even think about seeking justice for me. You want me to pretend it never happened? Or should I just steal from your house too, and then you'll take pity on me and not pursue the matter?"

Lin Yue'e was furious. Although her things were just decorations outside, they had been stolen without a word. How was she going to live in the village after that? If it happened once, it would happen twice, and countless times.

"How can you talk like that? I'm only doing this for your family's good. The thief must be someone from your family. If you call the police, they'll arrest your own family member. Is that a good look? We can't be too serious about things."

Sun Jianguo's expression also darkened. He had only intended to mediate, but he hadn't expected the matter to drag him down with him.
