Reborn As Lucky Star-Chapter 147 - Introducing a Partner to the Third Child
Chapter 147 -147 Introducing a Partner to the Third Child
That day, Qiu Maode was carried back by the Qiu family members who received the news.
The men in the village didn’t dare get involved in this matter.
They suddenly all became like women from the feudal era, as if merely touching the hem of Qiu Maode’s clothes would lead to being fancied by him.
The next thing they knew, they themselves might be the ones dragged into the groves.
There was no need for the Yue family to retaliate against the Qiu family.
As long as Yue Jiannan colorfully recounted the day’s events in public, Qiu Maode would be metaphorically whipped again and again.
In just a short span of two or three days, people in the village would avoid the Qiu family whenever they saw them.
Some even speculated that since none of the Qiu brothers had married, perhaps they all shared that “problem”.
Who would dare to marry their daughter into the Qiu family now? That would be asking for trouble.
Qiu Maode, having failed in his endeavor, ironically became a hot topic in the village.

The Qiu family was furious, yet they didn’t even dare to show their faces.
The entire family was now completely isolated by the villagers.
Whenever the village women saw them, they would spit contemptuously and curse the family for not knowing shame, for trying to drag men into the groves in broad daylight.
The reaction from the village men was even more severe, brushing off their sleeves as if they had touched something dirty whenever the Qiu family members looked at them twice.
They would also curse fiercely, “Stop staring, or I’ll punch you,” as if afraid of becoming the Qiu family’s next target, using this method to assert their innocence.
Dong Cuifen made a special trip to apologize, holding Lin Chunju’s hand and not letting go.
“Sister Lin, it’s my fault for not seeing Qiu Maode for who he was. I never anticipated he could be so disgusting, and I almost pushed your daughter into disaster.”
Now, the village people’s attributions towards the Qiu family grew more intense.
Many men firmly stated that Qiu Maode had shown an interest in them before.
But although they boasted looks comparable to Pan An, that was not their cup of tea, and so they had righteously rejected Qiu Maode.
Thus, even Dong Cuifen suspected that Qiu Maode’s initial proposals were actually a ruse to marry Yue Xiaofang so he could openly get close to Yue Jiannan.
Lin Chunju, in turn, comforted her, “Ah, you can’t be blamed. We also didn’t know he was like that in the beginning.”
As Dong Cuifen listened to her, she felt even more guilt-ridden, “Ah, I botched Xiaofang’s situation, but don’t worry, I will definitely make sure to arrange Jiannan’s matter beautifully. After all, he’s been wronged, and I will surely compensate him well.”
The wronged Yue Jiannan stood by, taking the opportunity to sigh.
The family members, struggling to contain their laughter, watched his performance while Lin Chunju earnestly patted Dong Cuifen’s hand.
“Sister Dong, Jiannan’s lifelong happiness is now entrusted to you.”
Dong Cuifen agreed wholeheartedly and left.
In fact, the Yue family hadn’t taken the matter to heart since Yue Jiannan really wasn’t that old after all, and he could still have his fun for a couple more years.
But to their surprise, Dong Cuifen took the matter very seriously, proposing several potential suitors.
The one to conclude the list was actually the daughter of a wealthy villager—Yu Yaxian.
The Yu family was considered wealthy in the village, owning over forty acres of land, and they had to pay for laborers during the busy farming seasons every year.
With only one son and one daughter, both were brought up in affluence.
They were the envy of Yue Jiannan since he was young.
Yu Yaxian, although a girl, was also pampered by her parents.
Her name was uniquely selected by someone paid by the family, unlike those of others.
Lin Chunju had not expected that Dong Cuifen could pull off such a connection.
Dong Cuifen felt honored, “Yu Yaxian said she had seen Jiannan and thought he was not bad, so she agreed to meet him once.”
Lin Chunju nodded eagerly, “This is an opportunity beyond our wildest dreams. I’ll go ask for Jiannan’s opinion right away.”
“If you think it could work, let’s set the meeting for the 28th day of the Lunar New Year at the Yue family home. We’ll treat it as a normal village visit, so that whether it works out or not, it won’t harm the youngsters’ pride.”
Lin Chunju thought the suggestion was good, “Alright, you’ve truly thought this through.”
And so, Comrade Yue Jiannan’s first matchmaking meeting commenced.
