Begging You to Break Off This Engagement!

2.1 Xi Yu

Translated by Amaryllideae

Huaping Village is not small, but it is also not very big. There are forty households in the village, and around two hundred people. Everyone knew everyone, so once the chimney of a house started smoking when it didn't before, it was not long before the people in the village knew that people were back.

Speaking of this family, there was quite a lot of details one could gather up.

In the early years, there were four people, Madame Xi and her son, her daughter-in-law and her grandson. Their family had a content life from old to young, and the couple often went into town, with a small business that sold some small things, and the Madame raised some chickens with her grandson and tended the vegetable field. The family was peaceful and happy. However, as the old saying goes, every family has difficult times.

When the Xi Family spent two years as a business serving breakfast, a person took a fancy to Xi Yu's (Xi Yu is the name of the grandson) mother. It was a known bully in town, an infamous thug. Xi Yu's father didn't want conflict with the other party at first, and tried to avoid this person by moving their business from place to place in the spirit of peace. However, the other party always followed them, and both sides began to fight, and the consequences on both sides were terrible. In the end, the thug died, and Xi Yu's father also lost his life.

With her husband gone, Xi Yu's mother cried every day, and soon passed away through depression. Madame Xi's only son was dead, and then she lost her daughter-in-law. She also gradually became a little crazy. With this, she was begotten with a serious illness, and all of the savings were spent.

That year, Xi Yu was no more than eleven, and had to grow independent. From such a young age, he lived alone at home, grew taller and stronger and taller than any of the other children and tilled his own land to live.

At that time, everyone thought that this kid would have no difficulty in relying on himself, though it was difficult. No one thought that he would actually conscript into the military at the age of fourteen, and serve for a few years at that.

Luo Fei summed up his knowledge of this "fiancé" in his mind, and expressed some deep sympathy in his heart, but the sympathy did not mean that he would accept marriage with this person. He just got out of a familiar living environment and transmigrated into a strange place. Now no matter what, he didn't want to leave the Luo Family. Although Luo Family is not rich, the people are not bad. But if he goes to the Xi house, then that would be hard to say.

What if the person's character was not good? What if he was put to work for the whole day? Xi Yu was to be twenty years old this year. In the past five or six years, the possibility of a kind person to turn into adult scum was too great.

The most important thing is that he doesn't like the other. He hates the surname Xi the most!

Anyway, he didn't want to cross the threshold of marriage!

Luo Fei sat down and refused Luo Yi's suggestion to go to the Xi house: "If you want to go, go yourself, I'm not going."

Luo Tian "pa!" slammed his hand on the table: "You rascal, why are you stubborn like this? Going doesn't cause you any harm!"

"Dad, can you not yell?" Luo Fei had gotten used to such an imposing dad of his, but everytime he opened his mouth, his head still hurts. "I have a reason for not going. The issue with Zhang Yangfan has only passed, and Zhang Yangfan's getting married today. If I rush over to see him, what will people think about it? Won't they think I'm rushing to find someone to marry because of that?"

"That makes sense, Dad." Luo Yi said.

"What rushing to see him? You two have already been betrothed." Luo Tian still felt that there was no problem just to go and see.

"I'm still not going. We haven't seen each other in several years. Maybe he has already become married. Maybe he brought his wife and children back. If I go and meet a family of three to chat and laugh with wouldn't that be terrible?"

"Yeah, let's forget about it for now." Li Yuehua said, "When the Xi couple passed away, our family helped out a lot. He would definitely remember to come and greet us." Let's discuss Darling's wedding later."

Notes:

If anyone is confused, the original Xi family's son is Xi Yu while the one who transmigrates (if you remember from the summary) from the modern world is Xi Yanqing.
