Chapter 461 Not Very Suitable
Yu Yan’s actions were exactly what Yao Nian wanted. He wanted less contact with Yu Yan so that others wouldn’t mention him when they gossiped about Yu Yan during mealtimes and affect his reputation.
When Yu Yan didn’t have enough money to contact her family, Yao Nian immediately took the initiative to give her 1.5 yuan, but when he gave it to her, he deliberately said that he only had 2 yuan and that his family had yet to send him money.
Firstly, he could curry favor with Yu Yan and tell her that he had given her all the money he had. Secondly, he hinted to Yu Yan that he didn’t have extra money to buy rice for her, so it was useless to look for him.
It wasn’t until Yu Yan’s money and packages were sent over that everyone found out that Yu Yan’s parents were fine that Yao Nian slowly began to take the initiative to look for Yu Yan like before.
When Yu Yan was so broke that she had to live on sweet potatoes, she cooked by herself. Later, when Yu Yan had more food and ate with everyone else again, Yao Nian sat beside her again.
When Yu Yan first received the package, Yao Nian realized that she had started to put out canned meat again when she was eating, so he reached out with his chopsticks to pick up the meat like before. When he saw that she didn’t refuse, he was glad that Yu Yan was stupid and gullible. However, he didn’t expect things to suddenly turn out like this after a month.
In fact, Yu Yan didn’t refuse at that time because other than Yao Nian, no one else would sit beside her. In the huge hall, everyone else was in groups of two to three, but she was alone. In the past, it was fine for her to walk, work, and be alone, but in such an environment, Yu Yan still cared about being seen as a loner.
Yu Yan believed that Yao Nian really didn’t have money, so he didn’t help. Therefore, after she obtained the packages, she still chose to share them with him. However, this didn’t mean that she didn’t mind!
When he saw Yu Yan leave, Yao Nian followed her and chased after her as he asked carefully, “Yu Yan, are you angry?”
Although Yao Nian suspected that Yu Yan was suddenly angry because he had not helped her two months ago, as long as she didn’t say anything, he would pretend not to know. He was hoping that Yu Yan was throwing a tantrum because of other trivial matters.
When Yu Yan saw Yao Nian’s expression, she only said calmly, “No, I’m not angry.”
Women liked to say one thing but mean another. Yao Nian had heard this from someone somewhere. Moreover, his intuition told him that Yu Yan must be angry.
When he spoke again, he smiled ingratiatingly. “Yu Yan, tell me what I did wrong. I’ll definitely correct my mistake.”
If he had a problem, he could change it, but if he was too poor, could he change it? Although Yu Yan thought so, in order not to appear like a gold digger, she definitely couldn’t say it directly.
“You’re not wrong. It’s just that I think we might not be compatible.”
This was equivalent to breaking up with him. At this moment, the two of them had already walked to the entrance of the village to wait for the ride.
There were people going to town and the county today, so there were also many people waiting. When Yao Nian saw so many people, he was too embarrassed to suck up to Yu Yan like before. He could only remain silent for the time being and follow Yu Yan.
Yu Yan felt even more unhappy when she saw this. When she spoke again, her voice was even colder. “Yao Nian, go back. I’m going to send a letter.”
Since Yu Yan had spoken, Yao Nian had no choice but to respond. After he thought for a moment, he made up his mind and said in a low voice, “We haven’t seen a movie in a long time. There should be a new movie screening soon, so I want to bring you to see it. Although today isn’t a holiday, it’s the first day of the new year. Moreover, you didn’t eat much meat last night, so I’ll bring you to a restaurant. My family wired me 10 yuan last week. The moment I received the money, I started planning to bring you out to play today.”
Yu Yan looked at Yao Nian in surprise. After the two of them got together, Yao Nian had never given her anything more than five yuan. The meat she had treated him to was more than this amount. Usually, she was worried that he would be hungry, so she would give him snacks and biscuits from time to time.
Seeing that Yao Nian planned to surprise her even though he didn’t have money, Yu Yan felt a little touched and wavered in her decision to break up with him.
After all, Yao Nian had a huge advantage that others didn’t have. After marrying him, it would be easier for her to return to her original family. She lowered her head and didn’t say anything, but she didn’t insist on entering the city alone like before.
“Having a fight?”
“It’s good to be young. It’s only at this time that men lower their heads and curry favor with us women. They don’t take women seriously anymore after getting married!”
“When I was dating my husband, he never lowered his head to me like this. Now that I think about it, I really suffered a loss. There were quite a few people who wanted to marry me back then.”
The women waiting by the side teased the two of them.
