Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Three n Make a Tiger
Yue Jiannan’s rumors grew more exaggerated by the day, initially fueled by the Yu Family.
As ti went on, it was the village’s turn to unleash their imagination.
Soone said they had heard from their second uncle’s daughter-in-law that they saw Yue Jiannan in a city hospital.
He looked sneaky, too scared to even greet people, clearly suffering from so disgraceful disease.
There were even claims that Yue Jiannan had been unclear and unclean outside, even having an illegitimate child.
These rumors were detailed and, despite their absurdity, so people believed them.
In recent days, various relatives and neighbors from the Yu Family visited, all indirectly advising the mother to call off the arranged marriage.
Seeing their own daughter about to beco a college student, how could she possibly marry a man tainted by disease and unknown promiscuity?
Mother Yu kept wiping her tears, “Ah, the engagent was set three years ago, how can we just call it off now?”
Yu Yaxian ca out at the right mont to speak, and onlookers, seeing the girl’s graceful deanor, felt even more sympathy for the Yu Family.
Father Yu sighed next to her, “We drank the engagent wine back then, and we even accepted gifts from the Yue Family, we cannot be those who break promises.”
Soone angrily said, “Nowadays, people who get married get divorced too, isn’t Yue Xiaofang in such a situation? Are you going to push your daughter into a fire pit just for a ager engagent fee?”
The Yu Family mbers all bowed their heads and said nothing; the villagers could only lant their honesty.
Zhang Ying and Wang Xiaoni were so angry they felt chest pain, saying initially they were all deceived by Yu Yaxian.
A beautiful young girl, yet so deadly and decisive.
According to the malicious behavior of this family, even if Yu Yaxian and the younger son broke off the engagent, the younger son’s reputation would be completely ruined.
How could he ever find a wife in Daye Village in the future?
Lin Chunju was also angry, but her mind remained clear, “Let them talk, the bigger the fuss now, the more they will see what the Yu Family tries to do once the truth cos out.”
Zhang Ying quickly went to ask her husband, “How is your inquiry in the city going?”
Yue Jiandong nodded solemnly, “Zheng Tianbo has found so clues, and I have beco sowhat acquainted with the lady boss near my neighborhood; it’s just about this week’s effort.”
Zhang Ying knew Yue Jiandong’s character, he would never exaggerate, hearing this she felt a bit relieved.
But during this period, the Yue Family was simply overwheld.
Various pointing fingers and idle gossip followed them like a shadow, and their family was almost isolated in the village.
Yue Jianxi was often ridiculed by people around him even in the fields, and so deliberately kicked aside the Yue Family’s farming tools, as if afraid of contagion.
The matchmaker Dong Cuifen who had initially brought the two families together made a special visit.
She spoke politely to Lin Chunju, but hinted that the Yue Family should take the initiative to dissolve the marriage to avoid harming the girl.
Lin Chunju was not annoyed, after all, sending soone away at this ti would only provide grist for the rumor mill.
She just smiled, “Since I was young, I heard the saying ‘Three n make a tiger,’ and now I have encountered it. Let put it this way: if the Yu Family wants to break off the engagent, let them co to do it themselves, rather than being hermits at ho and using the villagers as their tools.”
Dong Cuifen was choked up, yet had no way to refute.
She also felt it was quite aningless to eagerly plead on behalf of the Yu Family.
“Now that I have your word, I am reassured. I will go back and ask the Yu Family.”
As for the Yu Family, they naturally did not dare confront the Yue Family face-to-face; if word got out that they were at fault, the public sentint would definitely turn against them.
Moreover, if they initiated the divorce, they would have to return the money from the Yue Family.
The three hundred yuan for the engagent was definitely to be returned, and the tuition and living expenses that Yue Jiannan paid for Yu Yaxian’s education over the years were probably unavoidable…
However, Mother Yu had her calculations; with the Yue Family inflexible and unwilling to visit to terminate the marriage, could they withstand the saliva dousing their heads?
Moreover, could the adults in the family endure this, let alone the children?
