Reborn As Lucky Star-Chapter 146 - : Ultimately Relying on Men?

Chapter 146 -146: Ultimately Relying on Men?

Yue Xiaofang supported Yue Jiannan as they headed home.

Along the way, Yue Jiannan’s facial expressions continuously shifted among wanting to cry but having no tears, being at a loss for words, feeling utterly aggrieved, and attaining sudden enlightenment.

Those who saw him couldn’t help but ask what had happened.

Before Yue Jiannan could even open his mouth, some onlookers vividly explained the cause.

The rest then looked at Yue Jiannan with a mix of amusement and sympathy.

“I really didn’t expect someone like that to come from the Qiu Family, I really feel sorry for you.”

“Ah, such a fine young man, and he was almost ruined.”

In this era, if a woman encountered such an incident, she might end up being the one scrutinized and criticized by everyone, even if she was the victim.

The next day, she might very well end up hanging from a beam.

But when a man encounters such an event, everyone just finds it absurd.

Even then, looking at Yue Jiannan, people started to think he had strikingly handsome features — no wonder someone took a fancy to him.

Not until they reached the courtyard at home and Yue Jiannan shut the door did he quickly put on his coat and shook it off.

“I’m freezing to death, it’s so cold out.”

Zhang Ying was startled, “It’s so cold, why didn’t you wear your coat?”

Yue Jiannan snorted in laughter, “Wasn’t it just to let others see how aggrieved I was?”

Zhang Ying and Wang Xiaoni immediately closed in.

“What’s wrong, Third Brother, who bullied you?”

Yue Xiaofang quickly stepped inside to pour water for her brother, “It’s me who encountered something.”

She then recounted the day’s events, still shaking from the close call, “Thank goodness mom told me not to forget to bring Qingqing along, she really helped a lot. If Qingqing hadn’t called Third Brother, I don’t know how today would have ended.”

Zhang Ying and Wang Xiaoni both felt fright after hearing it.

Yue Xiaofang hugged Qingqing and smothered her with kisses.

“Qingqing, what would your aunt have done without you.”

Yue Qingqing giggled and nestled into Yue Xiaofang’s embrace.

Yue Jiannan held a porcelain cup to warm his hands, swishing the hot water in his mouth before finally swallowing it.

It took him a while to gather himself.

“After this incident, not to mention the Qiu Family needing just a few words, even if they had a hundred mouths, they couldn’t clear this up. I wonder how they’ll ever find daughters-in-law in the future.”

Having distanced herself from her fear, Yue Xiaofang thought back to her brother’s antics and couldn’t help but laugh, holding her belly.

“What’s going through your mind, how could you even think of such a method? I was so angry initially, but I nearly burst into laughter watching you curse that beast in a hushed voice.”

Yue Jiannan gave her a resentful glance, “For your sake, sister, I was even ready to give up my chastity, so stop laughing.”

He cared about his dignity too, okay?

Wang Xiaoni couldn’t contain her laughter either, “What chastity could a man possibly have, don’t worry, it definitely won’t affect your chances of finding a wife. Maybe the village girls will think your charm is a great draw and be even more willing to marry you.”

Looking at the women laughing together in the courtyard, Yue Jiannan heaved a sigh to the sky and dejectedly entered the house.

Forget it, mother will surely understand his noble actions when she returns.

But when Lin Chunju came back, she also laughed.

She laughed so hard she couldn’t straighten her back.

“Oh my, Third Brother, you really had it tough.”

The laughter from his older brothers was even louder, each trying to outdo the other.

Yue Jiannan completely despaired of this world.

He buried his head in his bowl, deciding to convert his sorrow into appetite.

After dinner, Guo Xue came to the Yue Family.

She called Yue Xiaofang out, looking puzzled, “Xiaofang, what’s going on here?”

How could such a ridiculous rumor about Qiu Maode wanting to assault Yue Jiannan spread in the village?

Yue Xiaofang furrowed her brows and went through the events briefly.

Guo Xue was speechless for a long while.

“Xiaoxue, if you really consider me a friend, don’t do things like this anymore.”

Guo Xue murmured to herself, “But… but all I did was out of kindness.”

“But everyone thinks differently, and we all choose different paths. You are just forcing your own ideas onto me.”

“I don’t believe a woman has to rely on a man to survive, your so-called kindness and goodness could become a knife in someone else’s hands.”

Guo Xue’s complexion turned ugly, and after a long time, she finally spoke, “Xiaofang, how could you say such things, you’ve changed.”

What was her fault? Everything she did was meant to secure Yue Xiaofang’s future.

Despite the current warmth and closeness with her family, once she stayed long enough, things would surely not remain the same.

She was thinking about Yue Xiaofang’s future life, believing that marrying a man and having a son to lead a harmonious life was the ultimate goal, wasn’t it?

Yue Xiaofang studied this once-close friend, slowly shook her head, and turned to go inside.

She had once thought the same way, but reality had slapped her hard in the face.

The friendship of their younger years had eventually crumbled in the wind as their circumstances changed.

Hopefully, Guo Xue would one day understand that in this world, only relying on oneself is the most dependable option.
