Reborn As Lucky Star-Chapter 139 - : Marry Her Back
Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Marry Her Back
This remark left Yue Xiaofang numb from the tips of her hair to her heels.
It wasn’t shyness, it was fear.
She remembered what Ma Jinbao was like back then.
When the matchmaker had come to her door, he spouted some nonsense about love at first sight, but then he treated her so horribly afterward.
With the lesson learned, Yue Xiaofang didn’t say another word, she turned her head and ran.
Qiu Maode had thought that with his looks, coupled with the words he just spoke, even if a girl didn’t blush to her ears, she wouldn’t bolt like that.
Yue Xiaofang was still shaken when she got home, almost unable to hold the soy sauce bottle steady in her hand.
Lin Chunju, her hair wrapped up, was cleaning the beams atop a stool when she saw this and immediately stepped down.
“What happened?”
“Just now on my way back, I ran into Qiu Maode blocking my path.”
After Yue Xiaofang explained what happened, Lin Chunju waved the feather duster twice in the air.
“No way, how can such a coincidence happen in this world? He must be waiting for you every day.”
Lin Chunju, with her old hand experience, felt something was off.
Even though it’s the idle season right now, the new year is coming, and every household has lots to do.
Where would Qiu Maode find so much free time to squat by the road and wait for her every day? It might be that his family was taking turns to watch and report.
Before, Lin Chunju only thought they were interested in Yue Xiaofang, but now she had other suspicions.
If it was truly a coincidence, that would be one thing, but if the entire Qiu Family was watching Xiaofang, it would be fishy.
Worried about what else might happen, she earnestly cautioned Yue Xiaofang.
“Take Qingqing with you when you go out these next few days to prevent Qiu Maode from ambushing you again.”
Yue Xiaofang looked puzzled, “Huh?”
How did taking Qingqing along have anything to do with Qiu Maode blocking her way again?
Knowing that she didn’t understand, Lin Chunju had to explain differently.

“Think about it, if he’s always running into you, wouldn’t that set tongues wagging in the village? Having a child with you is much more convenient, even if you two talk, with Qingqing there, people can’t gossip about what you two might be doing in private.”
Yue Xiaofang nodded, half understanding, “Anyway, I’ll listen to Mom.”
Only then did Lin Chunju feel satisfied.
Meanwhile, Qiu Maode returned to the Qiu Family, dejected. As soon as he entered, he heard a cacophony of voices.
“How’d it go? Did Yue Xiaofang agree?”
“What did you say to her? Can she marry in quickly?”
“It would be best to hold the wedding right after the New Year. I’ve already talked to the Liu Family, and once we get the money, we’ll sign the contract and take over their land.”
The Qiu household was noisy, and Qiu Maode felt like his head was about to explode.
“Enough, stop talking. Yue Xiaofang ran at the sight of me, she has no intention of marrying in,” he said.
As soon as he spoke, there was a brief pause but then the voices grew even louder.
“Why wouldn’t a woman who has been divorced not be willing?”
“If it weren’t for her being able to make money with her skills, our family wouldn’t consider letting someone like her marry in.”
“What’s with all the airs from a worn-out shoe? Has the Yue family become wealthy, and she’s gotten too proud?”
Qiu Maode’s mother took her eldest son aside, “Maode, tell your mother what’s going on. Is Yue Xiaofang deliberately posing to put on airs?”
Qiu Maode frustratedly ran his fingers through his hair, “No, it seems like she really dislikes me.”
Qiu Hong’an’s wrinkled face immediately showed his displeasure, “Tch, she thinks she’s worthy?”
It was one thing for the village girls to not want to marry into their family, but what reason did a woman of Yue Xiaofang’s status have to be unwilling?
A man wanting her should be cause for her to light incense in gratitude.
“Forget it, Dad. Should we figure out another way to ask relatives for some money?”
Qiu Hong’an was unhappy, “Borrowing money needs to be repaid. I think we need to find a way to bring Yue Xiaofang into our home.”
“I heard that when she got married off before, the Lin widow gave quite a dowry. Now that she’s marrying for the second time and the Yue family is doing well, they’ll double the money at least.”
Thinking of this, he issued a firm order, “No matter what means we use, we have to get Yue Xiaofang into our house.”
