Reborn As Lucky Star-Chapter 174 - : Breaking Off the Engagement

Chapter 174 -174: Breaking Off the Engagement

Yu’s mother quickly made a decision and had someone send a letter to the city.

That day, Daye Village had an unexpected visitor.

Yu Yaxian’s uncle—Tao Huamao.

Tao Huamao, originally from Daye Village, had moved to the city after being selected as a worker, so he still had some acquaintances in the village.

As soon as he entered the village, he hurried to the Yu Family to accuse them with great fury.

“I saw Yue Jiannan in the city, flirting with some woman. And you want to marry my niece to that kind of man?”

“I don’t care about any engagement; I just know that my niece is a living person. I’ll pay the three hundred yuan for the engagement if I must, but I can’t just watch as Yaxian is thrown into the fire pit.”

“She is supposed to be a college student. Yue Jiannan did such things, is he worthy of her?”

The noise quickly alerted the neighbors.

Stepping outside, they saw Yu’s parents being scolded, their faces flushed red, while Yu’s mother wiped her tears and argued.

“Ah, the engagement is already set, how can we call it off? Wouldn’t that let others point fingers at us?”

Soon, a familiar neighbor persuaded, “I think her uncle has a point. If anyone has broken their promise, it would be the Yue Family, who engaged Yaxian but allowed Yue Jiannan to do such things.”

Yu’s mother sighed heavily, seemingly persuaded.

So it was that Tao Huamao led a group march to the Yue Family’s home.

In his anger, Tao Huamao kicked open the gate of the Yue family courtyard.

This startled Yue Xingxing and Yue Xiaohu, who were in the courtyard.

They shouted for their grandma and hurried back inside the house.

Only Yue Qingqing moved a small stool to a corner with interest and sat down to watch the drama unfold.

“Yue Jiannan, come out here!”

Tao Huamao yelled loudly, which drew the surrounding neighbors out.

Due to Yue Jiannan’s recent reputation, the onlookers showed understanding glances.

Break off the engagement? It should have been done sooner, considering what Yue Jiannan is like.

The fool had been pretending for years, seemingly often going to the city to bring things to Yu Yaxian, but he was so vile behind the scenes.

Many young women looked on with disdain; they had once thought Yue Jiannan was one of the best men around, but now felt they had been blind.

“You shameless thing, why don’t you tell us all just what you’ve done, and you still want to marry my niece?”

“Pah! What are you worth?”

“Come out here, I am here today to break this engagement and give your family back the three hundred yuan!”

The Yu Family, ever calculating, mentioned only the three hundred yuan for the engagement and completely ignored the money Yue Jiannan had spent over the years to support Yu Yaxian’s university education and the gifts he gave to the Yu family.

After all, these villagers probably didn’t know about that.

Tao Huamao cursed several times, and finally, Yue Jiannan pushed open the door.

As soon as he appeared, he was greeted with a circle of spit.

“Pah, shameless!”

“Anyone with any shame would have broken off the engagement themselves, not wait for others to come knocking.”

Hearing the surround voices, Tao Huamao felt even more certain about today’s actions.

“Yue Jiannan, we all know what you did in the city, I will definitely not let my niece marry a beast like you.”

“Is that so?” Yue Jiannan even had a smile at the corner of his mouth, appearing quite relaxed.

Despite his doubts, Tao Huamao looked even angrier and was about to roll up his sleeves as if he was ready to beat Yue Jiannan.

But he was stopped by the Yu family members.

Yu’s mother whispered persuasively, “Jiannan, consider that my daughter and you are not fated to be together. I’ve already put my pride aside to break this engagement… I hope you can find someone more suitable in the future.”

The villagers collectively scoffed, wondering who would be blind enough to marry their daughter to Yue Jiannan.

Yue Jiannan, as if he hadn’t noticed the disapproval from everyone else, just stared at Tao Huamao.

“Since the Yu Family has even brought Yaxian’s uncle today, fine, I was just thinking it’s also time for you to meet someone.”
