Reborn in the 80s: Everyone Falls For Me-Chapter 62 - 61 Can’t Escape
62: Chapter 61: Can’t Escape
62 -61: Can’t Escape
Under the scrutiny of four elderly women, Jin Yu nodded stiffly and mechanically, making an earnest effort as he said, “Comrade Xu Niannian is so beautiful; I, I, I…
have decided to marry her.”
After finishing his speech, Jin Yu’s face felt scorched, even more burning than when Xu Niannian had hit him before.
Ding Guihua had thought this intimidating-looking man would definitely not agree, but she didn’t expect such a quick turnaround.
Because she’s too beautiful?
She couldn’t help but glance at Xu Niannian and, seeing her radiant face, felt a sourness in her teeth; indeed, she was a bit too beautiful.
Hmph, what’s the use of outer beauty, men are all shallow.
Apart from Ding Guihua’s sourness, the other three were ecstatic.
Wu Lan had been feeling guilty about deceiving her son, but now she felt she had done something absolutely right.
Yang Cuihua was quite satisfied with Jin Yu’s behavior and said with a stern face, “Since you’ve said this, and things have developed to this point, choose a date on your side and come over to set the engagement.”
Upon hearing this, Jin Yu let out a huge sigh of relief.
Damn, this was more nerve-wracking than facing enemies on the battlefield.
Excited, Wu Lan grabbed Yang Cuihua’s hand, “My in-law, rest assured, we will definitely not treat Niannian unjustly; we’ll come over to propose marriage the day after tomorrow.”
Yang Cuihua was then satisfied.

“Ah…”
Sitting on a small stool in the courtyard, Xu Niannian sighed for the tenth time.
How had things come to this state today?
Having returned from the county town, Xu Niannian couldn’t help thinking it would have been better if she hadn’t gone to that darn matchmaking.
“Sister, what’s wrong?” Xu Zhicheng, feeding the chickens in the yard, asked curiously when he heard Xu Niannian’s continual sighs.
Xu Niannian glanced at him and huffed, “Your sister has gotten into big trouble.”
“Ah?” Xu Zhicheng, thinking Xu Niannian had encountered some difficult problem, became so anxious his little face turned red, “Then then then…
what do we do?”
Seeing Xu Zhicheng as frantic as anything, Xu Niannian, not having the heart to see him so worked up, stuck out her tongue at him, “I’m just kidding, I’m fine.”
Xu Zhicheng looked at Xu Niannian blankly, and unlike his cluelessness, Xu Duoyu, who had been squatting in front of Xu Niannian and gazing up at her, was much more sensitive.
He knew Xu Niannian just didn’t want to tell him, and felt a little down about it.
Catching the hint of disappointment in his eyes, Xu Niannian felt helpless.
Why were all three brothers so sensitive?
She explained with resignation, “My new clothes got ruined, and it’s really bothering me.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhicheng’s eyes suddenly brightened; it was just because new clothes were ruined.
His sister loved looking pretty, and it would indeed make her very upset if her clothes were ruined.
Before, Xu Niannian had bought good-quality new fabric for the whole family but hadn’t had the chance to sew it for them yet.
However, to make them happy, Xu Niannian had put the fabric in their rooms a long time ago.
These past few days, Xu Zhicheng had even been sleeping with the new fabric.
“Sister, let me give you my fabric to make clothes,” the little guy said with reluctance, yet with determination.
Xu Niannian was taken aback and looked at Xu Zhicheng in astonishment.
She knew how much Xu Zhicheng liked that new fabric, and he was willing to let her make clothes out of it?
Putting aside the issue of the clothes, Xu Niannian was immediately moved.
This little brother was too considerate, a real heartwarming treasure; how could she have such an adorable little brother?
The gloominess in Xu Niannian’s heart was instantly cured.
Well, sod it, even if she was worried, it wouldn’t change the fact that she had once again gotten entangled with that beast.
Better to be happy than to fret over something that would be annulled in a year anyway.
Maybe it wouldn’t even take a year.
This situation was too irritating, and Xu Niannian had no interest in contemplating recipes.
Yang Cuihua had already rushed off to inform Grandma Xu and the second uncle and aunt about this matter.
Grandma Xu had three children in total: the eldest, Xu Dawei, the second son, Xu Erhong, and the youngest daughter, Xu Sanya.
Xu Dawei was Xu Niannian’s father.
Since Xu Dawei’s family was the poorest, Grandma Xu always lived with Xu Erhong, Xu Niannian’s second uncle; while Xu Sanya was married to someone in the town and had the best living conditions among the siblings.
Yang Cuihua hadn’t returned for half a day, most likely because she went to the second uncle’s house to discuss the matter before running off to the town to find her aunt.
Speaking of which, the second uncle’s home was not far from theirs, both in the same village, just at the opposite ends, one at the head and the other at the tail of the village.
In her memory, Xu Niannian’s second uncle was particularly fond of her.
Yang Cuihua, half-walking and half-running, rushed to Xu Erhong’s home and before even entering the yard, she bellowed, “Mom, I’m here, hurry up and open the door.”
Grandma Xu, who had been scolding her second granddaughter in the main room, immediately ran out upon hearing Yang Cuihua’s voice.

Seeing Yang Cuihua’s face flushed with excitement, she quickly unlocked the gate of the yard.
She moved swiftly, not at all like a sixty-year-old lady.
“Cuihua, what’s gotten into you?
Rushing like you’re racing to be reborn?”
The moment Grandma Xu spoke, her blunt nature was evident.
Yang Cuihua responded irritably, “What are you on about, Mom?
Not a single nice word out of you.”
Fortunately, Yang Cuihua had grown accustomed to her mother-in-law’s sharp tongue.
“Come in, I’ve got something to tell you, it’s about your precious granddaughter,” Yang Cuihua ushered.
