Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 541

Chapter 541: Breaking Off Engagement ( 2 )
“What’s more, after getting married, I will be the one who is responsible for earning money and feeding the family. So, what does this have to do with her family’s situation? Even if her family is poor, I can support her,” Huang Tingyun added.

Listening to her grandson’s eloquent speech, Grandma Huang was speechless. As the eldest grandson, how could he put his wife above his family? The money he earned should be handed over to his grandma to manage even after he married a wife, because they are all registered in the same household register.

Seeing that the situation was tense, Xiao Mei pulled Huang Tingyun’s sleeve and whispered, “Tingyun, don’t quarrel with your family because of me.”

Hearing her words, Huang Tingyun frowned and asked, “Xiao Mei, do you want me to follow my family’s arrangements and marry another woman? Are you really willing?”

Looking at her boyfriend’s stern face, she lowered her head and stammered, “I… I didn’t mean that.”

“What do you mean then?” he asked with a hint of anxiety in his tone.

Seeing his girlfriend standing there without saying a word, Huang Tingyun felt as if he had been punched hard in his stomach. He took a deep breath to calm down, looked at his girlfriend, and asked, “Xiao Mei, have you ever thought about our future? Have you ever loved me?”

This time, after hearing his words, Xiao Mei raised her head in shock. She pulled his sleeve in panic and said, “Tingyun, you know my feelings for you.”

Huang Tingyun shook his head and said, “I really don’t know. Xiao Mei, you have never told me, how can I know how you feel? I am not a fortune teller, nor am I a mind reader. I will never know unless you tell me.”

Xiao Mei felt that if she didn’t explain to her boyfriend now, she might lose him forever. She clenched her hand and said, “Tingyun, you misunderstood me. I love you, but with my family conditions, how can I deserve you? There are many better women who like you. I…”

Before she finished speaking, Huang Tingyun interrupted her, “As long as you love me and are willing to spend the rest of your life with me, that’s enough. I don’t care about your family’s situation at all.”

Xiao Mei looked down, saw her old clothes and said, “But I…”

“Xiao Mei, I love you for your personality, not for your appearance. Even if you become an old woman with gray hair and wrinkles, I will still love you. As for your family background, like I said before, I can support you and your family. So, I will only ask you one question. Are you going to push me away or are you going to marry me?” Huang Tingyun asked.

Hearing his words, Xiao Mei shook her head and said nervously, “I never wanted to push you away. Tingyun, I… I want to become your wife.”

While both of them were engrossed in their heartfelt conversation, Grandma Huang was so angry that she almost fainted.

She pointed her finger at them and said, “You unfilial grandson! As long as I am alive, I will not allow you to marry this woman! With her poor family, she will become a burden to you!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Huang Tingyun knelt on the ground with a loud thud. Seeing him kneeling, Xiao Mei followed him and knelt beside him.

Seeing her son kneeling on the ground, Mother Huang was startled and said, “Son, what are you doing?! Stand up quickly!”

“Mother, Grandma, if you don’t give me blessings, I will continue to kneel!” Huang Tingyun said firmly.

Before they knew it, the villagers were crowding outside the fence to watch what was happening. When they saw Huang Tingyun bringing back an unfamiliar woman who looked ugly and poor, they laughed at him and thought he was too stupid to choose this ugly woman instead of Liu Hua.

Listening to his words now, they believe his head must have been caught in the door. Otherwise, he would not be so determined to marry this woman.

Just when Huang Tingyun was at a stalemate with his mother and grandmother, Aunt Lin and Aunt Su finally arrived at Huang’s house after an hour’s journey.

Before coming, Aunt Lin had already sent someone to notify the Huang family that she was going to visit them. After getting the reply that they could accommodate her today, she came over.

Unexpectedly, when she arrived at the door of Huang’s house, she saw a group of villagers standing outside the fence. She craned her necks curiously but saw nothing.

Since there was something big going on here, Aunt Lin patted the villagers who were blocking the door and said, “I’m sorry, sister-in-law, please give way.”

The villagers, although annoyed with the disturbance, opened a path for them to enter the house. As soon as Aunt Lin and Aunt Su stepped into the front yard, they saw Huang Tingyun kneeling on the ground while holding a woman’s hand tightly.

Aunt Lin’s eyes flashed when she saw them. She thought the Liu family would be the ones to break off the engagement and appease the Huang family with gifts. But judging from the current situation, it seems that it is the Huang family that needs to pay the Liu family.

Aunt Su didn’t know what happened and looked at Aunt Lin with confusion. Sensing her gaze, Aunt Lin whispered, “That must be Huang Tingyun’s sweetheart.”

Hearing the news, Aunt Su was surprised and asked, “Since he already has a sweetheart, why does his family still want to propose to the Liu family? By doing this, aren’t they humiliating Liu Hua?”

“Who knows what they are thinking?” Aunt Lin said casually.

When the two were whispering, Grandma Huang saw them, and her face darkened more. Because her grandson brought this unknown woman and said he wanted to marry her, she forgot that the matchmaker from the Liu family would come to visit them today. If the matchmaker finds out about this, it will be difficult for them to appease the Liu family.
