During this period, Guan Hongying was anxious and upset several times because of Guan Siya's situation.

But in this matter, she wanted to help, yet she couldn't seem to offer any real assistance.

She wasn't unaware of Guan Siya's low spirits, but she was powerless to help.

After all, at this point, comforting Guan Siya wouldn't be of much use.

Only by clearing her name can she completely dispel the turmoil in her heart.

Now, everything has finally settled down.

Everything is finally over.

Guan Siya has finally been exonerated. Even when Secretary Zhao left, his words implied that Siya could return to work as usual.

*

Seeing that the snow in Linhe Brigade had almost melted, Guan Siya's matter was also completely resolved.

Even Guan Hongying's troubles disappeared.

After being publicly rejected by Lin Hai last time, Miao Meili rarely showed her face in the village anymore, after all, she didn't want to be laughed at.

However, despite her many underhanded schemes, she never expected that the Guan family's life would become more and more prosperous!

This only fueled the anger burning within her.

"Why should I? I'm a legitimate substitute teacher who went to elementary school. In terms of looks and figure, I'm the best in the whole area! That Guan Hongying, besides being able to slaughter pigs and act tough, does she know anything about romance?"

Miao Meili sat in her yard, looking at her face in the mirror, which was covered with a thick layer of face cream, and couldn't help but grit her teeth in frustration.

"A learned scholar like Lin Hai must have only submitted to that shrew's butcher's knife!"

"He only did it because there were many people around and he didn't know me. But as long as I give him a little something, won't he obediently fall at my feet?"

Thinking of this, Miao Meili's unwillingness to give up resurfaced.

A smile instantly appeared on her pale face, which looked quite eerie from a distance.

It was early one morning.

Miao Meili had found out early that Guan Hongying had gone to a meeting at the commune early in the morning and wasn't home.

During this period, Lin Hai would go to the small river behind the Guan family compound every morning to recite Russian poems.

This immediately caught Miao Meili's eye.

Now, her chance has come!

Miao Meili went to great lengths to make this chance encounter happen.

She pulled out a floral print, fitted shirt that she had painstakingly made from fabric years ago; the shirt was made extremely tight to show off her figure.

She even deliberately unbuttoned two buttons at the neckline, making it so tight that she had to tighten her stomach to breathe.

She wore a pair of tight black pants under her shirt, outlining what she thought were her beautiful curves.

Not only that, she also took out perfume that she would never normally use, which she had bought at a high price from the town's black market.

To ensure she could knock Lin Hai out instantly, she closed her eyes and happily sprayed nearly half a bottle of perfume onto her neck, behind her ears, and wrists.

In an instant, the strong, pungent, and even cloyingly sweet smell of cheap artificial flavoring exploded in the air.

The smell was so strong that even Miao Meili herself sneezed twice.

But in order to outshine all the other beauties, she stubbornly held her breath and endured it.

Meanwhile, by the river.

Lin Hai was wearing a Zhongshan suit and holding a tattered Russian book in his hands.

For some reason, the children always laughed at him when he studied at home, so he had no choice but to go out to study.

He pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, faced the morning light, and cleared his throat.

Then he began to recite the sentences from the book with great expression.

"If life deceives you, don't be sad, don't despair..."

"Professor Lin~~"

Just as Lin Hai was immersed in reciting poetry, a sickeningly sweet, even nauseatingly so, voice suddenly drifted out from the reeds behind him.

Lin Hai was startled by the sudden commotion and nearly dropped the Russian book in his hand into the river.

He adjusted his glasses, which were about to fall out, and turned around abruptly. He then saw Miao Meili swaying her slender waist in the distance.

She walked over with a bamboo basket for washing clothes, carrying it in a pretentious manner, and her eyes twitching as if she had a twitch.

As she approached, the intense, almost irritating scent of her perfume wafted through the air and blanketed Lin Hai's face.

"Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!"

How could Lin Hai's weak respiratory system withstand such stimulation, which was comparable to a biological weapon?

He sneezed three times in a row with such force that the birds on the book flew away.

"Comrade Miao... what's the matter?"

Lin Hai was so frightened that he took two steps back and quickly covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve.

Even his eyebrows were now twisted into a knot in pain.

He looked at Miao Meili with some confusion, wondering what she was up to.

Miao Meili felt a surge of joy when she saw Lin Hai hurriedly take two steps back and even half-cover his face with his sleeve.

She just thought this bookworm was shy, and that he suddenly became embarrassed when he saw her.

Miao Meili felt a surge of joy, thinking that this kind of person might appear serious on the surface, but who knows what's going on inside!

"Ouch! I've twisted my ankle! Professor Lin, please help me up!"

Miao Meili blinked a few times, calculated the distance, and then casually threw the bamboo basket on the ground.

Then her body slumped like a willow branch bent by the wind, and she let out a soft, melodious cry.

Then she slumped softly into Lin Hai's arms.

She had carefully planned the angle for that lunge.

As long as Lin Hai instinctively reaches out to catch her, she can easily fall into his arms and press herself against his chest.

If a man and a woman were to be seen embracing each other, even if Lin Hai had a hundred mouths, he still wouldn't be able to explain it!

Thinking of this, Miao Meili could no longer hide the smile on her lips.

However, Miao Meili greatly underestimated Lin Hai's rigid adherence to the traditional principle of men and women not touching each other.

They underestimated his feelings for Guan Hongying.

Seeing Miao Meili lunging at him with her claws outstretched, Lin Hai's pupils dilated instantly!

His mind went blank for a moment.

"Don't touch me! Comrade Miao, please have some self-respect!!!"

Lin Hai screamed in terror, as if he had seen a ghost.

Just 0.001 seconds before Miao Meili was about to touch the hem of his clothes, Lin Hai suddenly unleashed an unprecedented agility!

Suddenly, he changed direction with his feet, then took a step back, smoothly moving a full meter to the side!

"ah--?!"

Miao Meili's shyness instantly froze into extreme terror.

She lunged straight at nothing, and because she had used too much force to make the performance realistic, and the mud on the riverbank was slippery, she instantly lost her balance!

He even fell straight down in a parabolic arc into the mud pit behind where Lin Hai had been standing.

*Smack!*

*Thump!*

Two muffled thuds were heard, followed by the sound of a pig being slaughtered.

"Aa ...
