Grandma Chu's words were very unreasonable, but it was the truth. There was once a girl who was chased out of the village and became the director of a textile factory in the county. That family immediately went to her and cried non-stop. In the end, they really acknowledged the girl and reaped many benefits.
That girl wanted to save face. If she didn't acknowledge the girl, everyone would accuse her of being unfilial. In turn, the elders who sympathized with her poor situation might even lose their position as director.
This was how it was in this era. With such precedents, Grandma Chu wasn't worried at all. Chu Xiang was a junior. Wouldn't it be up to them to acknowledge her? However, only one day had passed, and her calculations were smashed. Chu Xiang was actually going to marry into the Yin family!
This news not only stunned the Chu family, but also the rest of the village. Wasn't Chu Xiang a jinx? Ever since Chu Xiang was sent out, the news of her being a jinx spread to Yu Lie. Most people believed that she was a jinx and Chu Lan was a lucky star. At this moment, Yin Xu was actually going to marry Chu Xiang?
The first reaction of the crowd was that the Yin family was crazy. The second reaction was: Didn't the Yin family fall out with the Chu family and refuse to marry into the Chu family? Weren't they dissatisfied with the Chu family for letting Chu Xiang marry Rong En? Why did they go back on their word?
The captain's family was also confused. However, at the same time, they were relieved. They felt that the matter in the village was finally going to end. They didn't have to worry about Chu Xiang's future anymore.
Yin Xu had already returned home from the hospital. He, Yang Yuelan, and Yin Qiuwen had already made it clear that this marriage was a fake one. He told them not to take it seriously.
Yang Yuelan was stunned when she heard this. There was a fake marriage? She had never heard of such a thing in her life. Who would do such a thing? Weren't these two people held up? She didn't agree to anything.
However, Yin Xu pulled her aside and tried to persuade her. For the current Yin family, it was very important to have one more person who sincerely wanted to live together and help each other. They were not lacking a servant girl, but they were lacking a healthy family member who could occasionally share their burden.
As for Chu Xianglai, there were too many inconveniences for her to live alone in the village. It was also very dangerous. The villagers would not care about the life or death of a jinx. She might even continue to be bullied by the Chu family. She urgently needed a safe haven.
Anyway, now that Yin Xu's leg was broken and Chu Xiang's face was disfigured, it was impossible for them to find a good other half. If they found a good-for-nothing, they wouldn't be able to live a good life. So, they might as well help each other. After this difficult period, they could separate again in the future and live a better life.
Yang Yuelan couldn't argue with Yin Xu, but the more Yin Qiuwen listened, the more she felt that what Yin Xu said made sense. She also joined in to help persuade Yang Yuelan. Both her son and daughter felt that this was a good idea. Yang Yuelan gradually relented and finally agreed. Then, they went to visit the brigade leader and asked his wife to help them.
Outsiders didn't know that there was a fake marriage. Once the brigade leader's wife recovered from her shock, she immediately went into the house to congratulate Chu Xiang. She smiled and said, "You are a lucky child. Yin Xu brought his mother to propose marriage to you. What do you think? Auntie is with you. If you miss this opportunity, you won't get another one. Don't be fooled by Yin Xu's broken leg. Many girls are unwilling to marry him, but I have sharp eyes. Yin Xu is definitely a talent. He used to be a soldier and was even a leader. Moreover, he is not disabled. If he doesn't take good care of himself, he will at most become a cripple. It won't affect anything. "
Chu Xiang smiled and said, "Auntie, you are helping him so much. Is Yin Xu really that good?"
The brigade leader's wife saw that there was hope in her and quickly pulled her to sit down. "Of course he is! Not only is he good, but his family is also good. His mother is soft-hearted and reasonable. She definitely won't act like a mother-in-law. His sister is in the same school as you. You know her, right? She is lively and loves to laugh. She is a very good girl. Where can you find such a good mother-in-law and sister-in-law? This is a good marriage for you. What do you think? "
Chu Xiang thought seriously for a while. She lowered her head and asked, "Auntie, can you let me talk to Yin Xu? I want to know more. After all, this is a serious matter. "
"Of course. I will let him in now. Auntie will talk to Auntie Yin outside. Call me if you need anything. " The brigade leader's wife went out to call Yin Xu into the house. She didn't close the doors or windows. The rest of them chatted in the courtyard.
Yin Xu entered the house and sat by the door. He looked at Chu Xiang's pale face and frowned. "Are you not feeling well? I will ask Skinny Monkey and Wen Wen to take you to the hospital. "
Chu Xiang shook her head and gave him a look. Yin Xu instantly understood that she was pretending. He was speechless. Even he couldn't tell.
Yin Xu lowered his head to hide the smile on his face. He coughed softly and said in a low voice, "A long delay may lead to trouble. Let's do the marriage as soon as possible. I will make it clear that I will never have any contact with the Chu family."
"Okay." Chu Xiang smiled with satisfaction. "How do you communicate with your family?"
"To be honest, so you don't have to worry about any awkwardness after the marriage. You can sleep in the big house with Wen Wen. My family won't have any relatives or friends, so we won't be exposed. I just hope that you can help my mother when she is having trouble doing something. She is not in good health, and it has gotten worse recently. I am a little worried about her. "
Chu Xiang raised her eyebrows in surprise. She looked at Yang Yuelan and Yin Qiuwen's expressions through the window and found that they were normal. They seemed to be chatting well with the brigade leader's wife. They seemed to be able to accept such a "rebellious" thing. This family was definitely out of her expectations.
Chu Xiang didn't mind Yin Xu's request at all. They were supposed to help each other. She agreed immediately and discussed with Yin Xu what to do. Then Yin Xu went out. After all, it was not good to be alone in the room for too long.
The marriage between them was settled. The brigade leader's wife was a little hesitant. After all, Chu Xiang was a member of the Chu family. Was it not good for her to help with the marriage? However, the brigade leader had seen how cold-blooded the Chu family was to Chu Xiang. He asked her to just help with the marriage and ignore the Chu family. News spread quickly in the village. If the Chu family wanted to, they would naturally take the initiative to visit them. If not, why should they care about them?
The Chu family would not take the initiative. It was not easy for them to drive the jinx out. They could not wait to draw a clear line with Chu Xiang. How could they get involved with her again? However, even if they did not look for Chu Xiang, it did not mean that they would not look for the Yin family.
Grandma Chu rushed to the Yin family as soon as she heard the news. Yang Yuelan did not open the door for her, so she stood at the door and shouted, "What is the meaning of your family? What do you mean by you don't want to marry into my family, you don't want to marry Chu Xiang, you forcefully took 300 yuan from my family, and now you want to marry Chu Xiang without giving me a single cent? Why do you take all the good things? Are you shameless? "
Yang Yuelan said angrily, "Who is the shameless one? My son's leg is broken. In exchange for your Old Chu's life, you think 300 yuan is too much? Then you have to treat my son's leg! Now that the matter between our families is settled, what's wrong with my son marrying Chu Xiang? Does Chu Xiang have anything to do with your family? What does it have to do with her? Tell me, is she your granddaughter? Didn't you refuse to acknowledge her and tell her to never go back? What does the matter between us and Chu Xiang have to do with your Chu family? "
Grandma Chu was stunned. The people who gathered around to watch the show were also stunned. It seemed that the Yin family still did not intend to have anything to do with the Chu family. They only acknowledged Chu Xiang and did not acknowledge the Chu family as a family!
Grandma Chu was speechless. She braced herself and said, "Chu Xiang's surname is Chu. She is a member of the Chu family no matter where she goes …"
"Then you take out the dowry! Let Chu Xiang go back to the Chu family to recuperate before leaving. I will wait. Do you dare? You are a superstitious social parasite. People like you should have been caught and paraded on the streets a few years ago! " Yang Yuelan really hated the Chu family. She usually did not raise her voice with others. Now that she was angry, she stood in the yard and panted.
Yin Qiuwen quickly helped her sit down and said, "Mom, why are you quarreling with her? Don't be angry. I'll go."
Yang Yuelan pulled her back. "Don't. She is an old lady. She is two generations older than you. How can you quarrel with her?"
"Aiyo, who wants to quarrel? Let's be reasonable. " Yin Qiuwen smiled at her playfully and walked over to open the door. She said to everyone happily, "Look at how noisy this matter is. It has alarmed everyone. My brother and Sister Xiang are getting married. It's just a matter of a few days. When the time comes, everyone will come to the wedding banquet. Oh, by the way, the Chu family doesn't have to come. The Chu family's character is not good. Our Yin family does not want to have any contact with the Chu family. "
She looked at Grandma Chu and said with a fake smile, "You shouldn't consider yourself as Big Sister Xiang's family, lest others laugh at you. Previously, when we separated from the family, you cut off all ties with Big Sister Xiang. In the future, Sister Xiang will be part of our Yin family after she marries. Naturally, she can't have any contact with people we don't like. If you are not convinced, you can go to the captain's house and invite Sister Xiang back. Don't come to my house to make trouble. "
Yin Qiuwen finished a long string of words. She did not give Grandma Chu a chance to interrupt at all. After that, she directly closed the door. It was obvious that she did not like the Chu family. The onlookers did not think that Yin Qiuwen was rude. Yin Xu's leg was broken, but the Chu family still made so much trouble. It was already very polite that they did not fight. The Yin family were all cultured people.
They were not so polite to Grandma Chu. One after another, they questioned what Grandma Chu was doing. Was she going to acknowledge the granddaughter that she had chased out or what? Did she really want to use Chu Xiang to repay her kindness and get the 300 yuan back? The problem was that the separation document had already stated that they would not have any contact with each other in the future. The 300 yuan was also a matter of the past. Wasn't it too shameless to bring up these debts now?
Grandma Chu called out to the Yin family, but no one answered. No one responded when she knocked on the door, and so many people were pointing at her. Finally, she could not take it anymore and ran away. She was so angry that her heart hurt. She kept scolding Chu Xiang for being a jinx and causing her to be in such a sorry state. She even blamed Chu Xiang for the worsening of the Chu family's reputation. However, it was precisely because of this that she didn't dare to send Chu Xiang back home.
She felt her heart bleeding when she thought about how she had given away 300 yuan and her granddaughter to the Yin family. Everyone in the Chu family felt that they had suffered a great loss. But things had already come to this, and it was useless to do anything. They could only feel terrible as if they had swallowed a fly. Among them, Chu Lan felt the most terrible. In her previous life, the Chu family had tried so hard to persuade the Yin family, but Yin Xu did not agree to marry her. In this life, he actually took the initiative to propose to Chu Xiang, who was disfigured???
If Chu Xiang was really married off from the Chu family, she would feel better because she was the one who had facilitated it. But now that Chu Xiang was separated from the Chu family, it had nothing to do with the Chu family. It was completely Yin Xu who had taken a fancy to Chu Xiang and proposed to her. Yin Xu was the first man that she liked in her two lifetimes, and it was a man that she did not get. She felt terrible as if her heart was being squeezed!
