Chapter 178: Chapter 178: The Third One Also Wants to Go to College Chapter 178: Chapter 178: The Third One Also Wants to Go to College Yu Yaxian really did come to the door, and was coincidentally seen by the wife of the neighbor, Er Gou.
The neighbor’s wife immediately showed contempt and spat viciously.
“Shameless, cuddling and hugging with a wild man.”
Indeed, her relationship with the Yue Family wasn’t that great, but she still looked down on such a flirty woman.
Yu Yaxian bit her lips, leaving a mark.
She could only comfort herself not to care about what the people in the village were saying now.
Once she got into university, she would become the golden phoenix that flew out of the mountain nest.
And after marrying Song Qiming, all anyone would have for her were envy and jealousy.
After a long time of building herself up mentally, Yu Yaxian finally raised her hand and knocked on the outer courtyard door,
The one who came out of the house just then was Yue Jiannan.
As their eyes met, the tears in Yu Yaxian’s eyes immediately fell.
Yue Jiannan opened the courtyard door and asked her indifferently, “Why are you here?”
“To compensate for this sum of money, my family has decided to sell all our land, how will we live on? Haven’t we been together for so long, doesn’t that mean anything to you?”
Yu Yaxian’s tears kept falling down her cheeks, forming solid droplets as they hit the ground.
“Yes, I know I made a mistake, but I was just being foolish for a moment. Doesn’t everyone have times when they are foolish? I’ve seen the affection you’ve had for me over these years. I really do want to marry you…”
Yue Jiannan looked at her, tilting his head as if looking at a stranger.
Yu Yaxian talked a lot, from their first meeting to the sweet times in between, talking until her mouth was almost worn out.
Yet Yue Jiannan’s expression remained indifferent, and she finally couldn’t bear it anymore.
“Jiannan, what will it take for you to let the Yu Family go? If it really comes to it, I…”
A blush crept over Yu Yaxian’s face as she took a big step forward, her fingers touching the buttons of her coat.
“As long as you let off my family, I’m willing to do anything.”
Even the neighbor’s wife, who had sneaked back into her room to peek through the window, was shocked. Could there really be such a shameless person in this world?
This girl was really going all out.
Yue Jiannan suddenly lowered his head and laughed, his laughter growing from a low chuckle to a loud guffaw, tears streaming from his eyes.
“Let off your family? Isn’t all this the result of your family lifting a rock only to drop it on their own feet?”
“My mother taught me from a young age to be honest and to have a conscience. The Yue Family has a conscience, but we can’t stand against those of you with a heart of malice.”
Yu Yaxian sheepishly lowered her hand, her face turning pale.
Yue Jiannan finally stopped laughing, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, “Yu Yaxian, go back. Consider the money a lesson for your family, to let you know that honest people are not to be bullied at will.”
Seeing that Yue Jiannan didn’t even open the gate of the courtyard, Yu Yaxian turned around to go back to the house, but she couldn’t hold back anymore.
“Yue Jiannan, are you still a man? I’ve also given up my youth for these three years, do you really have to be so petty?”
Yue Jiannan ignored her and pulled open the door.
Yu Yaxian reached her breaking point and shrieked, “You think you’re worthy to be with me? In the future, both Song and I will be university students, the favored ones of heaven, while you, Yue Jiannan, will always be scratching a living from the soil, nothing but a country bumpkin!”
“Go look at yourself in your pond, you’re just a toad aspiring for swan meat.”
“I admit defeat this time, but you’ll get what’s coming to you, Yue Jiannan. You won’t have a good death!”
With a bang, the door was firmly shut, cutting off Yu Yaxian’s cursing.
That evening, Yue Jiannan was preoccupied during dinner.
Finally, he put down his chopsticks and told his family some news.
“Mom, I want to go to college, too.”
Lin Chunju wasn’t too surprised, only asking him, “Haven’t you always disliked studying? What made you suddenly have this idea?”
“You know, these past few years, I’ve been reading books because of that person. Every time Big Brother brought back two sets of textbooks, I read them seriously.”
Yue Jiandong asked him, “Third brother, are you really sure about this? It’s not just a moment of anger, is it?”
Yue Jiannan nodded firmly, “Yes, if others can go to college, why can’t I? If I don’t get in one year, I’ll study for two years. I must go to college.”
