Chapter 138: Chapter 138 Why Don’t You Want to Marry Me?

No one knows a daughter like her mother.

Seeing Yue Xiaofang’s expression, Lin Chunju knew what she was thinking.

She reached out and pointed hard at her forehead, “You ungrateful little thing, is this how you think of your mother?”

Yue Xiaofang felt a slight pain between her brows, but her heart settled, “Mom, you’re perfectly fine, why bring up such a scary topic?”

Lin Chunju spilled the beans, detailing how Qiu Maode had come looking for a matchmaker.

Yue Xiaofang listened while continuing the work in her hands.

Only after her mother finished speaking did she respond, “That so-called Qiu Maode, I don’t even know him, I can barely match a face to the name.”

“You don’t think it’ll work?”

“No way!” Yue Xiaofang put her things down and turned to look seriously at Lin Chunju.

“Mom, I don’t want to get married. Can I just rely on the Yue family in the future?”

“Why not? I’d be happy to death. From now on, you’ll stay beside me and we’ll live together, just the two of us.”

Only then did Yue Xiaofang start to feel cheerful, resting her head on Lin Chunju’s shoulder.

Having made up her mind, Lin Chunju felt it was better to reject the proposal sooner rather than later, to avoid creating any undue expectations in the other party.

So when Yue Jiannan came back, she sent him out again.

“Youngest, go to Dong Cuifen’s place for me and deliver a message.”

Yue Jiannan, who had just come in sweating, had no complaints and simply asked, “What for?”

“She came asking about your sister’s intentions on behalf of Qiu Maode.”

Yue Jiannan immediately turned to Yue Xiaofang, “That definitely won’t do. Sister, Qiu Maode is already thirty-six and you just turned twenty-three after the New Year. That’s a thirteen-year difference, what gives him the right to be a cradle-snatcher?”

The so-described ‘tender grass’ Yue Xiaofang was rather pleased, “So I’m just staying at home every day, you don’t find me annoying, brother?”

“How could I? The shoes you make for me are both nice looking and sturdy, really warm too. When I wear them out, everyone’s envious.”

Yue Xiaofang playfully hit him, “You rascal, always thinking about the things your sister makes for you.”

Yue Jiannan just chuckled, “Even if you didn’t make anything you’d still be my sister. Anyway, I’ll go over there and turn him down for you. Qiu Maode can forget about becoming my brother-in-law.”

As he ran outside, he still remembered to grab a sturdy lad.

“Qingqing, do you want to come with me?”

“I do!” Yue Qingqing happily agreed, being lifted onto the rear seat of the bicycle.

Zhang Ying hurriedly followed, calling out, “Youngest, ride slowly.”

Yue Jiannan had already pedaled off, his bell clanging in the distance, his voice carried by the wind.

“Don’t worry, sister-in-law!”

Zhang Ying couldn’t help but laugh at the sight; the silly boy didn’t even think about it.

He had just gotten back, and why did his mother send him off to deliver a message again?

It was to get Dong Cuifen to check him out discreetly, to facilitate introducing a girl to the Yue family.

No one in the family really paid any mind to this matter, least of all Yue Xiaofang herself.

She had firmly decided not to marry.

Her last marriage had subjected her to experiences akin to hell, and with her family’s help, she had managed to escape. How could she possibly jump back into the fire pit?

But what Yue Xiaofang didn’t expect was that, once again on her way to the grocery, she was stopped by someone.

Looking up, she saw it was none other than Qiu Maode, who had sent someone to her door.

Qiu Maode was very tall, like a small mountain blocking Yue Xiaofang’s way.

Yue Xiaofang looked up at him, her brows furrowed tightly.

Yet Qiu Maode, with a rather pleased self-perception, smiled at Yue Xiaofang, “Do you know who I am?”

“I know.” Yue Xiaofang took two steps back, “What do you want with me?”

Qiu Maode tilted his head, examining Yue Xiaofang, “Why are you unwilling to marry me?”

Yue Xiaofang answered expressionlessly, “I don’t even know you.” She then took another step back.

But Qiu Maode pressed closer, “It’s not too late to get to know each other now, Yue Xiaofang. I liked you the moment I saw you.”
