CHAPTER 182: CHAPTER 153: PITIFUL (PART 2)

For a moment, they had no idea how to respond to them.

They couldn’t possibly say that the girl from their family is considered a top student, destined for a successful future, so they felt he wasn’t worthy of her and thus kicked him out of the engagement, right?

If they said that, there would certainly be quite a quarrel later on.

Therefore, Fu Yu was troubled about this matter, not knowing how to return home and explain it to his family.

So he thought long and hard but still couldn’t figure out a way to tell his family that the engagement was off.

Just as he hesitated, the incident between him and Jiang Xin unfolded, and the bride-to-be for the wedding was directly switched.

Coincidentally, it was exactly what Jiang Wan and her family wished for.

The wedding naturally couldn’t proceed.

Jiang Wan could go as she wished, unbound by marriage, to pursue her life in the provincial capital.

He, too, could remain in this village, find a suitable girl, start a family, get married, have children, living a simple yet happy life.

Therefore, when Jiang Wan brought village people to catch them in the act, Fu Yu practically without hesitation publicly announced that he intended to marry Jiang Xin.

Afterward, everything happened naturally.

He and Jiang Xin successfully held the wedding.

However, the process was slightly bumpy.

Because of the affair accusation earlier, Jiang Xin’s reputation in the village wasn’t particularly good.

Because there was indeed a misunderstanding involved.

Fu Yu was rather perceptive; he even suspected that the day’s event might have had Jiang Wan’s involvement.

Because when he turned to look at Jiang Wan that day, he distinctly noticed she didn’t dare meet his gaze; that look clearly revealed guilt.

So, it’s highly possible that he and Jiang Xin waking up in the same bed was orchestrated by Jiang Wan.

Jiang Xin looked like a young girl of only eighteen, clearly presenting an innocent demeanor, how could she possibly have done such a thing?

Moreover, before this, he and Jiang Xin had never had any contact.

So where did the notion come from that Jiang Xin secretly admired him to the point of resorting to coercion for marriage?

It’s simply absurd.

After all, in his view, Jiang Xin and he were entirely parallel lines, not intersecting at all.

When Jiang Xin looked at him, her gaze held no affection, but rather awkwardness.

If it were really like the villagers said, that Jiang Xin fell for him at first sight, then why would Jiang Xin exhibit such a dazed and embarrassed manner when she saw him?

Fu Yu could immediately analyze and understand.

Most likely, it was because he thought for too long, with Jiang Wan about to start school soon, eager to clarify their relationship promptly.

Hence the drastic measures, fearing he wouldn’t agree to dissolve the engagement.

Directly pushing out the pitiful young girl Jiang Xin, causing her to be scolded by the entire village.

But the day of the wedding, Fu Yu was eager to set sail, so everything about the event wasn’t clarified, leading to so many misunderstandings.

But it was already too late.

Speaking of the wedding, Mrs. Fu was completely hands-off, not managing a single thing.

At the end, the entire wedding depended on Fu Yu and Mr. Fu to successfully complete.

The ten dollars Mrs. Fu provided only managed to purchase some window decorations and a few "double happiness" characters, along with a red washbasin; even new bed sheets couldn’t be bought, only two red pillowcases were perfunctorily purchased.

As for the bride and groom’s clothing, it was particularly makeshift; just their regular clothes with two flowers pinned on them.

As for the banquet meal, it was entirely made by a friend of Fu Yu, and not a penny was asked from Mrs. Fu.

Fu Yu even owed his friend money to this day, waiting to repay him after returning from his sea voyage.

Of course, Jiang Xin and Mrs. Fu were completely unaware of all this.

Returning to the present, after hearing the words of Mrs. Fu’s sister-in-law, Nian Di very sensibly stepped out from the corner.
