Chapter 39 -39: I Thought You Were My Friend, But You Betrayed Me

“Anyway, it’s all good for nothing!” someone chimed in right after, causing everyone in the courtyard to burst into laughter.

Lu Zhenjia and Ge Guifen, with their thick skins, naturally didn’t blush at all. In a fit of rage, Zhenjia hustled to disperse the crowd outside the courtyard, “What’s this got to do with you all! This is our family’s private matter, why meddle in it! Get lost! All of you, get lost!”

“Ge Guifen, I thought of you as a friend, and you betray me!” Foolish Hu’s mother rolled up her sleeves, ready to have a go at Guifen.

On one hand, she genuinely felt that Guifen had deliberately deceived her, and on the other, she was trying to clear her own name.

Regardless of whether anyone believed it, right now she just wanted to appear as if she was the innocent one, completely deceived by Guifen.

Thanks to Lu Youxi who had just given her a good excuse, allowing her a way out!

“Aunt Hu, please resolve your issues with my uncle and auntie some other time,” said Youxi, interrupting Foolish Hu’s mother. But it was just a verbal intervention; she didn’t step forward to separate them.

“The village chief is still here, let’s sort out today’s issue first,” said Youxi.

The village chief nodded, but it was a pity that Youxi, a courageous, clever, and talented young woman, had married Zhou Shuyan. It really was a shame.

Aside from being good-looking, Shuyan really wasn’t a match for Youxi!

But the village chief felt Youxi probably didn’t have much choice.

If she didn’t hurry up and marry Shuyan, she would be sold off by the Lu family, these pack of jackals.

Even in these times, how could there still be people like Old Master Lu, Old Madam Lu, and the Zhenjia couple!

The village chief was visibly upset and said, “Youxi and Xu Mai have registered their marriage, and obviously cannot marry anyone else. Today, I’ll bear witness here, and later on, you shouldn’t target Youxi again!”

“They got married without us knowing and without the family elders’ approval. We do not agree to this marriage; it doesn’t count!” Lu Zhenjia shouted at the top of his voice, furiously waving his arms.

Everything had been planned well and they had specifically kept it from the Lu Zhenguo’s family, only to be thwarted again by Youxi.

“They’re already registered,” regardless of what was between Youxi and Shuyan, at least now, the village chief supported them—which was surely better than the Lu family scheming.

The village chief then asked Zhenguo and Liu Yushu, “You two are Youxi’s parents, what do you say? Do you agree to their marriage?”

Zhenguo looked at Old Master Lu, Old Madam Lu, and the Zhenjia couple, and saw their still unrepentant attitudes.

If he said he disagreed, they would just force Youxi to marry Foolish Hu.

Fearing that Zhenguo might be confused, Yushu quickly said, “I agree, we agree!”

“Shut your mouth!” Old Master Lu roared, “Men are speaking, why does a woman intervene!”

Seeing this, the village chief thought that if Old Master Lu could act like this in public, he must be even more dismissive of women at home.

Without further delay, the village chief said, “Uncle Lu, what era are we in that you still hold onto this male supremacy thing? To use a cliché, where would you be without a woman? Do you look down on your mother too? Without Youxi’s mom managing the household, could you dress so neatly and eat so well? If you look down on women, why would you use Youxi as a bargaining chip for money?”

“Who is using her to make money!” Old Master Lu bellowed, “I was just… just finding her a good family to marry into.”

“Pah! Good family, Foolish Hu’s family?” Aunt Liu couldn’t help but spit.

“It’s our family’s business, what does it have to do with you!” Old Madam Lu snapped harshly.

Ignoring them, the village chief looked toward Zhenguo, “Lu Zhenguo, your wife agrees, what about you?”

Fearing Zhenguo might slip up again, the village chief added, “Anyway, I would say, their marriage isn’t wrong. The two of them are close in age and have feelings for each other. Free love marriage is nothing bad. Plus, Youxi just mentioned that Xu Mai is gradually regaining some memory and knows his identity. When the two children go to the Imperial Capital, they can support each other. Xu Mai is even willing to earn money to fund Youxi’s college education.”

“That man Xu Mai is reliable!”

“Yes, achieving that much is quite commendable.”

The villagers outside chimed in again.

“Lu Zhenguo, what do you say, do you agree?” Liu Yushu tugged at Zhenguo.

Looking over, Zhenguo suddenly remembered Yushu mentioning divorce.

Zhenguo shuddered, feeling that if he disagreed, Yushu might really be determined to divorce him.

His marriage with Yushu had also been arranged by their families, and they hadn’t interacted much before the marriage.

But having inquired ahead, the families knew that Yushu was honest, hardworking, and good at household chores.

Indeed, after they married, Yushu proved hardworking and orderly, managing the house well and respecting her in-laws.

Even though Old Master Lu and Old Madam Lu were not kind to her, Yushu never complained and kept diligently taking care of the house and bearing children.

In fact, it might be said that Yushu had a somewhat weak nature.

Today was the first time he saw Yushu this angry.

A person usually soft and yielding suddenly bursting out, Zhenguo subconsciously couldn’t help but believe her.

He nodded, saying, “I agree.”

Yushu breathed a sigh of relief, and the village chief stated, “Since Youxi’s parents both agree, there’s nothing anyone else can say.”

“Hu Family, you are not from our village, so I can’t manage you, but you should head back now. As for the matter with the Zhenjia couple, you can resolve it yourselves later,” the village chief declared, clearly not intending to meddle in their future private grudges.

After this ordeal, it was indeed impossible for Youxi to marry into the Hu family.

Foolish Hu’s parents held back their anger, blaming the Zhenjia couple for everything.

The pair indignantly stepped out of the Lu family’s gate.

Outside the Lu house, curious villagers had tightly packed the area, three layers inside and three around. Seeing this crowd, Foolish Hu’s parents became even more infuriated.

“Make way!” Foolish Hu’s mother, noticeably enraged, waved her arms, parting people away. Just as she walked halfway, she suddenly burst out with an exasperated “Ouch!”

Foolish Hu’s mother quickly stopped Foolish Hu’s father in front, “Wait! His dad, our gifts are still at the Lu’s!”

They had come to discuss marriage today, and despite discussing the dowry, it was their first visit, so they had brought some gifts.

On this, Foolish Hu’s mother was rather particular, though the gifts weren’t much—just five kilograms of rice and a box of milk.
