Chapter 25 Yang Mingyue is getting married

Before Lin Liuyi could share her thoughts on this variety show trip, she heard some shocking news in the group chat.

"What? Yang Mei'er, you're getting married? Aren't you an adult? Have you reached the legal marriage age? Why is it so sudden? Did someone force you?" Lin Liuyi asked a series of questions.

Yang Mingyue didn't expect that Lin Liuyi would have the strongest reaction. It's also because their two worlds are similar, and only she understands this era. People like Grandma Liu and Liu Mingyue probably don't feel anything, since women in their world get married earlier.

Princess Mingyue was curious about the marriage process of Yang Mingyue. She had read about it in Lin Liuyi's first novel, so she was more concerned about whether Yang Mingyue's marriage was the same as the one described in the book.

Wu Mingyue should still be doing missions with the team; we haven't heard from her for a while.

Seeing that everyone was still concerned about what had happened to her, Yang Mingyue felt a pang of grievance.

She sniffed, trying not to let the tears fall.

"Hi, it's nothing, I just suddenly want to get married. I'm a bit tired of being alone."

"No way, you're not that kind of person. Tell me quickly! We're all your sisters. Even though we're not in the same world, we still care about each other. Tell me now, I'm so anxious!"

Lin Liuyi couldn't care less about variety shows or celebrities right now; she was only thinking about whether something had happened to Yang Mingyue. Based on her experience as a writer, something must have definitely happened in this situation.

When the others saw how certain Lin Liuyi was, they immediately realized that things weren't so simple.

Under everyone's persistent questioning, Yang Mingyue finally revealed the truth.

Sure enough, she didn't want to get married on her own initiative.

Originally, after Yang Mingyue obtained the tofu recipe, she experimented with it at the educated youth settlement and successfully made tofu. The people at the settlement also benefited from it and their lives improved.

Just as Yang Mingyue was about to give the recipe to the village, hoping that a tofu workshop would be opened there, Li Zhiqing couldn't sit still any longer.

If this tofu workshop opens, Yang Mingyue will be removed from the educated youth settlement, and then what will happen to his plans?

He initially tried to persuade the other educated youth in the settlement to force Yang Mingyue to build the tofu shop there and put it under their control, but the other educated youth weren't fools.

They're currently in the countryside, and who knows when they'll be able to go back? Setting up a tofu workshop in the educated youth settlement is just wishful thinking. They're living in a village now, and the tofu recipe is Yang Mingyue's. She wasn't inclined towards the educated youth settlement in the first place. Besides, tofu requires soybeans, where are they going to get them?

It would be better to set it up in the village. The brigade would definitely find a way to address the soybean issue. As for what Li, the educated youth, said about Yang Mingyue leaving the educated youth settlement, everyone understands that this is normal. The tofu recipe belongs to Yang Mingyue, and they can benefit from the cheaper tofu they buy later.

The others weren't stupid either, so Li Zhiqing's little scheme didn't succeed.

When one plan failed, Li Zhiqing immediately came up with another scheme. The plan was simple: he would lure Yang Mingyue into the water and then rescue her. That way, once they were in each other's arms, Yang Mingyue would have no choice but to stay with him.

As for Gao Xiaoling, no one knows how Li Zhiqing tricked her into agreeing to do this for him.

And so, Gao Xiaoling found an excuse to invite Yang Mingyue to the riverbank.

Yang Mingyue, who grew up in the city, had only ever seen neighbors arguing in the courtyard, and never imagined that anyone would want to harm her.

She didn't think Gao Xiaoling could do anything bad to her. She always lost arguments with her, so she didn't think much of it and went to the river to keep her appointment.

Sure enough, Gao Xiaoling invited her to the riverbank and talked about Li Zhiqing again. She didn't want to listen and wanted to turn around and leave, but suddenly someone pushed her and she fell into the river.

She couldn't swim, so she could only thrash around in the water, shouting for help.

Then she heard someone jump into the water with a splash, and finally she was pulled up.

"Could it be that damned Li Zhiqing?" Lin Liuyi's fists hardened at the thought, and he really wanted to beat the other party up.

"No, he's the son of the brigade leader in our village."

"Could this have been premeditated?" Liu Mingyue was also indignant upon hearing this.

"No, he was on his way to work in town that day when he heard me shouting for help and that's when he jumped down."

"He saved you, so why don't you just buy him something to thank him? Why do you still want to marry him?" Princess Mingyue didn't understand.

Yang Mingyue didn't want this at all. She didn't know the other person at all, and of course she was unwilling to marry a stranger.

Unfortunately, that educated youth Li went too far; he even secretly arranged for a gossipy aunt in the village to call a large group of people to come and watch at the appointed time.

They happened to see her being carried ashore by the captain's son, all wet. Now, the two of them were bound to do something.

"Hey, Da Bo, why are you hugging Yang Zhiqing like that?" someone finally couldn't help but ask.

The brigade leader's son, Ma Bo, explained that he happened to hear Yang Zhiqing shouting for help on his way to work, so he jumped into the water to save her. Even after this explanation, Yang Mingyue still heard people talking about the two of them, or more accurately, about her.

Ma Bo clearly understood the situation and told Yang Mingyue that he would take responsibility.

Yang Mingyue didn't speak. Her mind was in turmoil. The most important thing now was who pushed her into the water.

She looked at Li Zhiqing. Gao Xiaoling was standing very close to her, so it couldn't have been Gao Xiaoling who pushed her. It could only have been Li Zhiqing who pushed her.

Li Zhiqing was also angry at this time. It was all Gao Xiaoling's fault. He had finally managed to push Yang Mingyue into the water according to the plan. When he was about to go into the water to save her, Gao Xiaoling grabbed him and refused to let him go into the water.

With his small frame, he couldn't break free from Gao Xiaoling for a moment and could only watch helplessly as Ma Bo rescued Yang Mingyue.

The others followed Yang Mingyue's gaze and looked at Li Zhiqing.

"Wow, Li Zhiqing, you and Gao Zhiqing are so loving! They're even hugging!" The gossipy auntie's eyes lit up.

She initially thought Li Zhiqing had asked her to call people over for some reason, but little did she know, it was to watch a grand show!

Don't think the villagers are all fools. She can't possibly not understand Li Zhiqing's thoughts. It's a pity that Yang Zhiqing and he are not meant to be. This Gao Zhiqing is a better match for him.

"How shameless! Hugging in front of so many people!"

"Exactly! City people aren't as shameless as us country folk!"

The villagers were abuzz with discussion. Li Zhiqing was already angry because the plan had failed, and now he was even more resentful.

He broke free from Gao Xiaoling's hand, glared fiercely at the person opposite him, and turned to go back to the educated youth settlement.

Seeing this, Gao Xiaoling quickly followed after them.

Ma Bo asked an aunt he knew to take Yang Mingyue back to the educated youth settlement. He still had to go to work, so he asked someone to tell his father that they would discuss the matter when he returned next week.

"Why didn't you expose that Li Zhiqing to the face? What a pair of scumbags, they actually tried to harm you!" Princess Mingyue was furious and wished she could tear the two of them apart for Yang Mingyue.

“Yang Mei’er, she has no evidence!” Lin Liuyi saw the key point.

"Yes, Liu Yi is right. No one saw it. Even if I told them, Li Zhiqing and Gao Xiaoling wouldn't admit it, and the villagers wouldn't believe me. They might even speculate that I fell into the water because we had a falling out over relationship issues. That would be even more disgusting."

Yang Mingyue didn't want to talk about it; she even wanted to confront Li Zhiqing directly about why he did this.

Unfortunately, she knew it was pointless; no one would believe her.

"So you can only marry that Ma Bo?"

"Yes, we've already reached an agreement. The whole village is buzzing about it. Unless I go back to the city, marriage is the best solution."

Hearing Yang Mingyue say this, everyone sighed. Returning to the city, they had all read Lin Liuyi's novel and knew that this was not an easy thing to do, so it seemed that marriage was the only way.

"It's all my fault. If I had known, I wouldn't have given you the tofu recipe. Maybe you wouldn't have run into this mess!" Lin Liuyi said with some annoyance.

"How could I blame you? Even without this tofu recipe, that educated youth Li would have schemed against me, perhaps even more ruthlessly. Don't worry, after this incident, I'll be more careful. Besides, Ma Bo is the brigade leader's son, and I've already told him about the tofu shop. He's very supportive!" Yang Mingyue comforted Lin Liuyi in return.
