Chapter 8

The exam dates were July 15th to 17th, three days long.

Unfortunately, today was July 5th.

Teacher Qi gave Lin Qing two application forms, told her roughly how to fill them out, and then explained the college entrance examination requirements.

The last four big questions in the math exam were divided into science and liberal arts. Science students did two questions, and liberal arts students did the other two.

This was something to pay attention to.

Lin Qing nodded, indicating that she had remembered.

She left the office with the application forms, her heart heavy.

How could a science student turn into a liberal arts student in nine days?

Especially a liberal arts student in 1964.

You ask if Zhang Hong knew that Zhao Hui-zhou had a fiancée?

She did.

Not only did she know, but Chen Yin and Zhang Zhirou, mother and daughter, also knew.

However, who would care about a country girl who couldn’t leave the countryside?

Through the system, Lin Qing stayed up late to cram the remaining liberal arts subjects.

Zhang Hong, the female lead, relied on her golden finger to be good at both science and liberal arts. Later, she became a ruthless and heartless woman, killing anyone who displeased her.

Literally.

Lin Qing grew up under the red flag, nurtured by socialist values. She wouldn’t let herself become someone like Zhang Hong, but she couldn’t lack the necessary self-defense skills.

It was precisely because of this that Lin Qing was determined to succeed in the college entrance examination.

This sense of urgency was indeed useful at times.

It’s just a college entrance examination.

Not a bit afraid.

Thinking of Zhang Hong, Lin Qing thought of her own golden finger.

Speaking of which, what was Zhang Hong doing now? Why was she so quiet?

System 118: She’s busy hooking up with your old scumbag.

The sun was warm.

On the basketball court, young soldiers were divided into two teams.

They were sweating and

overflowing with hormones.

The atmosphere suddenly stalled, everyone looked at the sidelines without exception. There stood a girl, wearing an orange-yellow blouse.

The breeze gently blew through her long hair and hem skirt,

outlining her graceful figure,

As if a layer of light was cast upon her, she was so beautiful that it was hard to look away.

Under the gaze of everyone, the girl shyly bowed her head.

The soldiers immediately became excited, winking at Zhao Hui-zhou.

Being in school meant listening to the teacher’s lectures, which was of no help to Lin Qing. She had been away from books for many years, and she needed to relearn a lot of knowledge.

Lin Qing couldn’t waste time in class, she directly asked the head teacher for leave, preparing to go home and focus on her studies.

Teacher Qi was still stern and unsmiling, asking her if she had made up her mind.

Lin Qing gave a firm reply, and Teacher Qi agreed.

You know what, Teacher Qi was actually quite easy to talk to.

Rolling up her bedding, carrying her small schoolbag, and carrying a net bag containing a basin, a water jar, etc., Lin Qing took all her belongings from high school back home.

She received a lot of attention from the villagers on her way back to the countryside.

After she left, everyone shook their heads.

“Such a beautiful girl, why would the Zhao family want to break off the engagement?”

“Beauty can’t be eaten. If it were me, I’d also find a capable and competent wife for my son. Would your family raise such a delicate little wife?”

“That’s right. In my opinion, the most shameless person is Lin Er-li. How could she do that?”

She stole her niece’s engagement, and even went to their house to cause trouble. She’s too bold.

“Hey, it’s a good thing it didn’t fall on your head.”

The speaker disagreed, “Even if it fell on my head, I wouldn’t want it. There’s no such thing as a cheap good thing in this world.”

Lin Qing had never felt so good in her life. Carrying all these things, she walked for miles without breathing heavily. Her physical fitness was excellent.

How could she be delicate?

Lin Er-gu was truly shameless.

It was she who spread the rumor that Lin Qing was delicate.

She had just finished scolding Lin Er-gu when she saw Cui Cui-hua at home.

At this moment, she was whispering to Lin Da-hua. When she saw Lin Qing come back, her eyes were clearly full of fire, but her mouth was still polite, “Sister Lin Qing, why did you come back?”

“What kind of talk is that? This is my home, I can’t come back?”

If it were before, Lin Qing would have been reprimanded by Lin Da-hua for speaking like that. Now, Lin Da-hua didn’t say a word, he just sat there as if he hadn’t heard anything.

Cui Cui-hua pouted. She always said that he treated her like his own daughter, but when it came down to it, he still favored his own daughter.

“Uncle, just agree to break off the engagement. Mrs. Zhao doesn’t like Sister Lin Qing. If you force the Zhao family to marry her, will Sister Lin Qing be happy?”

“It’s better to let Hui-zhou and me be together. I’m your niece too, you only favor Sister Lin Qing and not me?”

Lin Da-hua was a bit tongue-tied. He knew it wasn’t like that, but he stammered, “Cui-hua… it’s not like that… If your Sister Lin Qing breaks off the engagement, how will she be able to hold her head up? You can still find a good husband even if you don’t marry into the Zhao family.”

“Uncle!”

He was so stupid. She had already said that the Zhao family wouldn’t marry Lin Qing. It would be better to let her have it than to let someone else take advantage of it.

Why couldn’t he understand?

Cui Cui-hua was furious.

Lin Qing went to the kitchen and drank a scoop of cold water. It was freshly drawn from the well that morning, unlike the tap water of later generations, it was both cold and sweet.

It felt refreshing all the way down to her stomach.

She slowly walked out and sat beside Lin Da-hua, looking at Cui Cui-hua with a hint of a smile.

What was she doing?

Trying to steal her home?

Cui Cui-hua felt her face burn under her gaze, and in a moment of excitement, she started to lie,

“Uncle, to tell you the truth, Hui-zhou came back a few days ago, he… really likes me.”

“What? Zhao Hui-zhou came back?” Lin Da-hua was shocked.

As soon as those words came out of her mouth, Cui Cui-hua felt a surge of courage. She said he came back, and he did come back. Could they go to the Zhao family to verify it?

Even if they did, she wasn’t afraid.

As long as she could break off the engagement with the Lin family, Mrs. Zhao wouldn’t expose her.

Lin Qing: “I don’t believe it.”

“Believe it or not, Hui-zhou came back. To tell you the truth, Hui-zhou has long since stopped liking you. He said you’re spoiled, only I can follow him to the army.”

“And…”

“Hui-zhou and I have already done what we should have done. You’re right, Hui-zhou has someone else, and that person is me.”

After Cui Cui-hua finished speaking, her heart was pounding.

Oh my god, what did she just say?

She was so embarrassed.

But for Hui-zhou, she dared to say anything, she dared to do anything. Cui Cui-hua was so moved by her own courage that her face turned a deep red.

Her shy and infatuated demeanor made Lin Qing pause for a moment.

Could there be a hidden plot in the later part of the story?

What kind of bomb would that be?

System 118: …

Lin Qing: Didn’t you say to dare to think?

“Get out, never come to my house again. I don’t have a niece like you.” Lin Da-hua suddenly stood up, his face dark.

He was really scary.

When an honest person gets angry, they’re really scary.

Although their family didn’t look down on Zhao Hui-zhou, he was indeed a hot commodity in the village. So, when his niece had this idea, Lin Da-hua was annoyed but wouldn’t bother with a junior.

But if his niece was secretly hooking up with Zhao Hui-zhou behind his daughter’s back, that was wrong.

It was bullying his daughter.

Lin Da-hua stared fixedly at Cui Cui-hua, scaring her so much that her face turned pale.

Since she was a child, Lin Da-hua had never said a harsh word to Cui Cui-hua. He was even afraid of scaring her if he spoke too loudly.

Cui Cui-hua looked at her uncle in disbelief, then at Lin Qing, who looked like she was enjoying the show. She was both angry and indignant, her mind filled with the thought of how you two have the right to treat me like this.

Then, a deafening roar almost blew the roof off the Lin family’s house.

“I’m telling you, I’m already pregnant with Hui-zhou’s child. You have to break off the engagement, or I’ll hang myself with the child in my belly at your house.”

The old woman next door to the Lin family jumped out of her house. What happened, what happened? Whose child is pregnant with whose child…

Oh, tell me clearly.

It made people’s hearts itch.

Lin Da-hua was confused by Cui Cui-hua’s shout.

He was a bit dazed.

When he realized what he had heard, he was so angry he wanted to hit someone.

And he did hit someone.

“Slap.”

After being slapped, Cui Cui-hua was even more incredulous.

Wang Lan-feng came back from work and saw this scene as soon as she entered the house. She was a bit surprised.

Her husband had become so capable that he actually slapped his niece.

She must have said something really infuriating.

After a while,

Wang Lan-feng took a big broom and chased Cui Cui-hua out of the Lin family’s house,

“Get out, we don’t have a shameless relative like you anymore.”

“Bah, you’re the shameless ones. You’re like a toilet that doesn’t flush. Hui-zhou won’t marry that little b*tch Lin Qing, just give up on that.”

The aunt next door also rushed out to… mediate, “Oh, you’re all relatives, one family, why are you fighting… The child in her belly can’t take it…”

Oh~~

So Cui Cui-hua is pregnant with Zhao Hui-zhou’s child.

My god.

What a big melon.
