Gu Lingling never expected that what Yang Yunhai taught her was actually something unique to the Yang Family.
This left her feeling quite shocked.
She wanted to say she wouldn’t learn it, but the thought of even being able to subdue Su Ziqiao made her reluctant to refuse.
She could only secretly vow to herself that she must learn well from Yang Yunhai.
On Saturdays, there were only half-day classes. After school in the morning, He Yue came to find Gu Lingling, and the two went together to Beishui Village.
Knowing that his daughter’s savior was coming, He Guoquan and his wife took out all the good food they had to entertain Gu Lingling.
"Uncle, Auntie, this is too much, really." Gu Lingling said with some embarrassment.
This table of food, if they were frugal, could last them several meals.
"What’s the big deal?" He Guoquan said with a simple smile, "Eat up, don’t be shy."
Even so, Gu Lingling didn’t eat heartily, instead taking just a symbolic taste of everything.
In this era, it wasn’t a trend to not eat leftovers; these dishes could be saved for another meal for the He Family in the evening.
He Dazui’s house was a street away from He Yue’s. After eating, the two went to find He Dazui to play.
"Isn’t this little Yue of the Guoquan family?" As they walked, they heard someone from across the street calling out to He Yue.
"Yes, Matchmaker Wang, where are you off to?" He Yue nodded at the person, smiling as she asked.
"Oh, just out for a walk." Matchmaker Wang looked He Yue up and down, then did the same to Gu Lingling, "And this young lady is?"
"My classmate." He Yue pulled Gu Lingling by the hand, "Matchmaker Wang, we’re busy, so we’ll be off now."
The look in Matchmaker Wang’s eyes was like she was appraising goods, making Gu Lingling feel very uncomfortable, but she also felt this person looked familiar, like she had seen her somewhere before.
"She’s the matchmaker in our village, not a good person." He Yue whispered, "Don’t mind her, but also don’t offend her."
Matchmakers are all talk, even in this era, if you offend someone like her, and they ruin your reputation outside, marrying would be difficult in this lifetime.
That’s why He Yue spoke to her in that way.
Gu Lingling nodded, just about to speak, when she saw He Yue give her a gentle nudge and pulled her to hide by a nearby stack of hay, "Don’t say anything."
As soon as those words were said, they saw a fat man hurriedly running past them.
"Who is that..." Gu Lingling exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the man; the back was exactly the same as the one she couldn’t clearly see in her dream.
"He is the son of Matchmaker Wang, the security director of our village, Guo Damao. Not something good." He Yue whispered, "Be careful of him in the future."
Of course, Gu Lingling knew he wasn’t any good because this was the rapist who appeared in her dream.
She knew that many educated youths were flirting with village officials to avoid labor or bullying. But the girl in her dream clearly wasn’t doing it voluntarily.
But it was just a dream, could there really be such a girl? Immediately, Gu Lingling laughed at herself and shook her head, she was truly startled by her recent dreams.
How could someone have such a special ability? To foretell the future?
However, what Gu Lingling didn’t expect was that when she returned home from Beishui Village, she actually encountered the girl from her dream.
And this girl was one of the group of educated youths that had recently arrived in their Nanshui Village.
