Reborn As Lucky Star-Chapter 152 - : Have You Settled on Her?

Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Have You Settled on Her?

The Yue Family was also worried that Yue Jiannan might recklessly go to the Yu Family and cause some trouble.

Little did they expect that the silly boy would come back only to smile foolishly.

It was only upon questioning him that they learned he hadn’t even dared to fart in front of Yu Yaxian.

Instead, he had solemnly promised to bear the burden of her future educational and living expenses.

At this point, even the naive Wang Xiaoni sensed something was off.

“If they were married, naturally it would be right for the third brother to provide, but nothing has been decided yet…”

Yue Jiannan said righteously, “Wouldn’t everything be settled once we had the engagement drink?”

An engagement is just that, an engagement. They hadn’t truly held a wedding banquet or registered the marriage.

Wang Xiaoni opened her mouth but found it hard to voice these concerns.

Zhang Ying remembered some past events she had heard about in the village more than a decade ago.

Back then, Daye Village had hosted several sent-down youths, both male and female.

One of the male youths had taken a fancy to the daughter of the production brigade captain, and they had held a banquet in the village, with all expenses paid by the girl’s side.

The youth was basically counted as having married into the girl’s family.

Since the man was not very healthy, the girl’s family had spent quite a bit on medical expenses for him, had tried to spare food for him during hard times, and didn’t usually make him work the fields.

After all, the girl’s family had plenty of brothers and didn’t miss the workpoints that the youth would earn.

The brothers-in-law simply did the work for him.

Later, the woman became pregnant and had a child, and everyone in the village felt their family was thriving.

However, once the country allowed the sent-down youths to return to their cities, that particular youth dusted off his hands and left his wife and child behind to resume life in the city.

The woman, heartbroken, held her child and wept daily. Her brothers, furious, went to the city to find him.

They discovered that the youth had married another woman in the city and flatly denied knowing them.

When they confronted him, he pointedly remarked that they were not married officially without a marriage certificate.

He even threatened to call the police, claiming they were causing a disturbance in his home. The brothers were detained and lectured by the police.

Once the news was brought back, the woman, clutching her child, threw herself into the river.

Everyone who heard the story couldn’t help but sigh. The villagers commented on how well that family had treated the youth, only to raise an ungrateful wolf.

Yet Zhang Ying felt it was somewhat inappropriate to compare her story to Yu Yaxian’s situation.

After all, the Yu Family was a major household in the village and unlikely to behave in such a manner.

Lin Chunju frowned slightly and asked Yue Jiannan.

“Have you thought this through? Are you certain you want to marry Yu Yaxian?”

Yue Jiannan’s eyes drooped as he muttered softly, “I like her anyway, loved her the moment I saw her.”

“Besides, Yaxian also said that once she gets into university or college, all her expenses will be covered by the state, and she’ll even secure a job placement after graduation.”

Lin Chunju said expressionlessly, “If she does get into university, she’ll be the first college graduate from Daye Village. Do you think she’ll still have eyes for you?”

A college graduate could stay in the city after finishing school, immediately transitioning from a rural to an urban identity, a status not at all similar to rural life.

The Yue Family was now footing the bill for the engagement money as well as Yaxian’s tuition and living expenses.

If later the other party denied the arrangement, they couldn’t just drag them back to get married.

That would be illegal.

But Yue Jiannan was confident, “That won’t happen. Yaxian said no matter what, she would be my wife.”

Lin Chunju looked at her youngest son, completely blinded by first love, and sighed.

“Since it’s the wife you’re marrying, mother won’t be the evil one to break you two apart. Just make sure you won’t regret it.”

Clear joy spread across Yue Jiannan’s face as he understood his mother had agreed, immediately raising his voice, “Thank you, Mom!”

Yaxian was such a good girl, he was sure they would get along well.

In just two more years, he too would be able to embrace his wife.

By then, with a plump baby added to their lives, their days would surely be sweet and joyful.
