Reborn in the 80s: Everyone Falls For Me-Chapter 241 - 240: Can’t Get Married (2nd Update)

Thinking back to last night when he was massaging Xu Niannian’s feet, and her murmured words, Jin Yu knew that Yang Cuihua had misunderstood.

He opened his mouth to explain, but Yang Cuihua interjected, "This wasn’t your first time, was it? I checked today and there was no "fallen red" on the bed."

Even though Jin Yu lacked romantic experience, he knew what "fallen red" referred to.

Flushing from his face down to his neck, he stammered, "Auntie... I didn’t..."

Yang Cuihua: "Are you saying you didn’t touch my daughter’s body?"

Jin Yu was suddenly at a loss for words.

He had touched her.

But not in the way Yang Cuihua imagined.

It was entirely a different matter.

However, Jin Yu found it even more impossible to explain the real situation to Yang Cuihua, knowing that his mother-in-law, who cherished her daughter as if she were her life, would surely chop him up with a knife.

The key was, if he didn’t want to lose Niannian, not only could he not resist, but he would also have to straighten his neck for the chopping by his mother-in-law.

So Jin Yu fell silent.

Seeing his expression, Yang Cuihua knew she had guessed correctly.

She didn’t know whether to be angry or to sigh.

Considering that the two were already engaged and, from her perspective, her daughter liked Jin Yu—who was also outstanding and liked by Yang Cuihua herself—she didn’t blame him.

Instead, she said, "You and Niannian are already engaged, so I won’t continue to blame you. I just want to ask you one thing today, when are you going to marry my Baby Nian?"

"Huh?"

Jin Yu’s eyes suddenly widened.

Thinking he was trying to stall, Yang Cuihua’s face fell and she said bluntly.

"Jin Yu, let me tell you, my daughter has always been the apple of the Xu Family’s eye. If you dare to wrong her and not own up to it, I’m willing to lay down my old life to make sure you pay."

Being addressed as Jin Yu instead of Xiao Jin, Jin Yu immediately realized the depth of his mother-in-law’s affection for her daughter.

Coming to his senses, Jin Yu hurriedly explained, "Auntie, I didn’t mean that, I..."

"Then what do you mean? Speak up," Yang Cuihua didn’t let him finish, demanding angrily.

Jin Yu choked on his words but eventually said, "Auntie, as long as Niannian is willing, I am ready to get our marriage certificate with her immediately."

"Really?" Yang Cuihua said, excited.

Jin Yu nodded, "The premise is that Niannian has to be willing, I don’t want to force her."

Hearing this, Yang Cuihua considered a possibility, "So you mean, you’ve proposed marriage to my Baby Nian, and she refused you?"

Jin Yu thought for a moment, having just proposed last night, only to be rejected.

So he nodded.

Yang Cuihua’s face immediately brightened into smiles with pleats, "Xiao Jin, look at you, silly boy, not even discussing a major issue like marriage with your aunt. I think you’re just foolish, but auntie likes your honest and straightforward nature. Leave this matter to me; I’ll talk to our darling. You just go inform your parents, that’s all."

Jin Yu: "..."

His mother-in-law’s quick change of face had caught him off guard.

It took him a while to realize that he was being rushed into marriage.

Jin Yu’s smile couldn’t be restrained anymore, as if he had been hit by an unexpected pie from the sky.

After Yang Cuihua dealt with Jin Yu, she went to talk to Xu Niannian, while Jin Yu sat in the living room chatting idly with Xu Dawei.

However, his ears perked up now and then, listening for any sounds coming from Xu Niannian’s room.

Xu Niannian suddenly exclaimed, "What, get married? Mom, what on earth are you thinking? Jin Yu and I have only just..."

"What do you mean just? You brat, still keeping secrets from your mom? I’m not blaming you," Yang Cuihua poked Xu Niannian’s forehead with a finger, saying irritably.

Xu Niannian looked perplexed, "I, what am I hiding from you?"

Yang Cuihua pursed her lips, "You know exactly what you did with Xiao Jin in your room last night. Your mom isn’t blaming you, but I want to tell you that since you and Xiao Jin have gone this far, you should hurry up and get married. Don’t end up getting married hastily while pregnant and have people laugh behind your back for the timing not matching up, gossiping about you."

Xu Niannian was shocked, "Mom, were you eavesdropping outside my door last night?"

Ah, that’s not the point.

Xu Niannian immediately corrected herself, "Mom, listen to my explanation, it’s not what you think."

Yang Cuihua gave her a sidelong glance, "Do you dare to tell me that nothing happened between you and Xiao Jin?"

The certainty in her eyes and the confidence in her tone made Xu Niannian react just like Jin Yu, suddenly speechless, her eyes wide open, at a loss for words.

After all, Yang Cuihua had inadvertently stumbled upon a truth.

Yang Cuihua poked Xu Niannian’s forehead again, not too forcefully this time.

"You, foolish girl, now that things have come to this, why not just go with Xiao Jin and get the marriage certificate? What are you waiting for? Having given away the most precious thing a girl has, if you dare disagree, Mom will..."

She couldn’t bring herself to say the harsh words, her lips quivering several times before she unexpectedly broke down, wailing to the heavens, "I might as well die..."

Xu Niannian: "..."

What on earth is going on here?

Xu Niannian felt as if she was on the verge of a heart attack and hurriedly tried to console Yang Cuihua, "Mom, mom, don’t cry, I..."

"Get married, go and get the certificate right away, even if the wedding is delayed, that’ll do," Yang Cuihua said abruptly, sitting up straight.

Xu Niannian hesitated for just a minute, and Yang Cuihua immediately threw herself onto the bed, wailing, "My child, I don’t want to live..."

Xu Niannian again: "..."

Yang Cuihua’s crying made Xu Niannian’s scalp tingle, and at the same time, her heart ached for her, "Mom, please stop crying, give me three days to think it over, okay?"

Yang Cuihua, wailing on the bed without shedding a tear, knew her daughter’s temperament well. She couldn’t press her too hard; there were times when she needed to loosen the grip.

She immediately sat up, took Xu Niannian’s hand, and said, "Hey, my good daughter, take your time to think it over. Are you hungry? I’ll go make you some chicken soup. Look at you; my daughter has gotten so thin."

After speaking, Yang Cuihua didn’t give Xu Niannian any chance to respond and swayed out of the room.

Xu Niannian’s outstretched hand froze as she internally groaned, Mom, come back!

She felt like she was unwittingly cast in one of Yang Cuihua’s dramas.

But she knew she couldn’t blame Yang Cuihua for this.

In this day and age, no parent was open-minded enough to not insist on marriage when their daughter had already been so intimate with a man.

Yang Cuihua’s approach was already taking into account her feelings.

If it were any other family, they’d probably just issue an ultimatum.

So Xu Niannian was also very helpless.

If she refused, Yang Cuihua might not only get deeply hurt but also live in fear and sorrow until the day she got married.

She didn’t want Yang Cuihua to be sad or worried.

But getting married was not something she could compromise on just for her parents’ sake.

Of course... her situation with Jin Yu wasn’t exactly a compromise.

It’s just that she hadn’t planned on getting married so soon.

It was all too fast.

She wasn’t from the eighties, where meeting someone and having a matchmaker could lead to immediate marriage.

She and Jin Yu had only been dating for less than a month.

Getting married this quickly was completely out of her expectations.

The more she thought about it, the more she blamed Jin Yu. If not for his late-night visit to her room, Yang Cuihua wouldn’t have discovered them.

She felt miserable and wanted to cry.

Xu Niannian let out an irritated "Ah" and buried herself in the quilt.

Damn Jin Yu, stinky Jin Yu.

Jerk.

As Xu Niannian wrestled with her thoughts in her room, Yang Cuihua strutted out and directly said to Jin Yu, "Xiao Jin, get ready. In three days, you’re going to get the certificate with our Baby Nian."

"Get the certificate?" Jin Yu jumped up excitedly, his dark pupils shining intensely, "Niannian agreed?"

Yang Cuihua confirmed confidently, "Yes, she agreed."

Jin Yu, thrilled like a dumbstruck boy, stumbled over his words, "Auntie, I want to see Niannian."

"Eh, don’t go," Yang Cuihua stopped him, her eyes crinkling with a smile, "Go tell your parents first."

With that reminder from Yang Cuihua, Jin Yu suddenly remembered something very important.

He couldn’t get the certificate in three days.

It wasn’t that he was unwilling, but he had to file a report first.

Although he wasn’t currently serving in the military, he hadn’t been discharged; he was just on leave due to an injury.

To get married, he needed to submit a marriage report.

Even if everything went smoothly, it would take at least five or six days to get approval.

So Jin Yu blurted out nonsensically, "Auntie, it won’t work in three days, I can’t get the marriage certificate with Niannian."

"What did you say?" Yang Cuihua’s eyes widened instantly, "You don’t want to marry our Niannian?"

Xu Niannian, who had just bounded out of her room, overheard this sentence.

The air was electric, tense with sparks flying amidst the lightning.

Yang Cuihua’s lips trembled as she prepared to head to the kitchen for a knife.
