Reborn in the 80s: Everyone Falls For Me-Chapter 80 - 79 The Miser
80: Chapter 79: The Miser
80 -79: The Miser
Highly educated with a prestigious background, and also beautiful.
She was firm in her belief that Jin Yu hadn’t fallen for her yet, only because he hadn’t seen her good qualities.
Xu Niannian listened and rolled her eyes in silence.
This girl sure was confident.
But she did have the capital to be confident.
Niannian just didn’t understand, why such a beautiful girl would like Jin Yu, that pig’s trotter?
Could it really be because of Jin Yu’s bewilderingly handsome face?
On reflection, sometimes a person’s appearance can indeed be quite deceiving.
Before the engagement at Xu Niannian’s home was settled, Xu Zhiqiang had seen Jin Yu a few times.
However, he didn’t remember Zhu Xinyu, because he was so focused on eating during his first visit to the state-run restaurant that he had no time to look at anyone.
But this time, he heard clearly what Zhu Xinyu said.
After Zhu Xinyu and her group of girls had walked away, Xu Zhiqiang curiously asked Xu Niannian, “Sis, the Jin Yu she mentioned, is he my brother-in-law?”
“Pfft!”
Xu Niannian almost choked on her spit and said annoyedly, “What nonsense are you spouting?
What brother-in-law, we’re not even married yet, right?”
Xu Zhiqiang frowned; in the countryside, once you’re engaged, marriage is almost certain, unless something extraordinary happens.
He said, “Once engaged, isn’t marriage just a matter of time?”
“Of course…” Not!
The last two words almost slipped out, but Niannian fortunately held them back.
“Of course, but…
we’re not married yet, right?
If it gets out, people might laugh, thinking I’m desperate to get married.
Don’t call him that again; your sister isn’t lacking suitors.”
Although Xu Zhiqiang didn’t understand Xu Niannian’s thoughts, he was very obedient.
Seeing that Niannian was concerned, he earnestly asked, “Then sis, what should I call him?”
Xu Niannian: “…”
Looking at her brother’s innocent face, Xu Niannian was at a loss for words for two seconds, before finally saying dryly, “Just call him Jin Yu.”
Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, the term made her skin crawl.
She had nothing to do with that pig’s trotter, not a thing.
It was all fake; even the engagement was fake.
Thinking this, Xu Niannian’s mood instantly brightened.
Back in the village, Xu Niannian had Xu Zhiqiang take the chicken home while she carried the items to her uncle’s house.
She had initially planned to make a trip home first, but worried that Yang Cuihua would object to giving the gifts away, Niannian decided it was best to act first and report later.
With her mother’s stingy nature, she really feared that she wouldn’t want to give anything away.
True to form, except when it came to her daughters, Yang Cuihua was stingy with everyone, including herself.
Niannian used to dislike such selfish people.
But when this selfish woman became her mother and was stingy with the whole world, yet willing to give her everything, Niannian couldn’t help but stop disliking her.
She even felt a warm affection for Yang Cuihua.

Thinking of her mother’s sharp tongue, Xu Niannian couldn’t help but want to laugh.
Niannian was the center of attention in the village, so she didn’t dare to be too ostentatious.
The items she bought were all hidden in a carry basket, covered with a cloth so no one could see.
But she underestimated the villagers’ curiosity about her.
Auntie Xu happened to be coming back from picking wild vegetables and saw Niannian heading to Xu Erhong’s home with a heavy-looking basket, so she hurriedly followed behind her.
However, she didn’t rush inside but lingered outside first.
When Xu Niannian arrived at Xu Erhong’s house, the whole family was there.
Xu Sisi was leaning over the table doing her homework, and her grandmother was in the main hall sewing shoe soles.
