Lucky Star, Not a Jinx

Song Xue recounted the rumors in the village. Song Yang spat on the side and said, "Sister Ding Yao, you don't have to care about them!"

Song Xue also quickly expressed her stance. "Yes, Sister Ding Yao, my second brother is right. Just ignore them. You are our family's lucky star, not the jinx they said you were. It was you, sister Ding Yao, who saved my second brother and even found reishi mushroom."

Song Yu also explained, "Sister Ding Yao, we aren't unhappy because we believe those words and have a problem with you. We are afraid that you will be sad when you hear what they say."

Ding Yao looked at Song Xiuyan in shock and exclaimed, "Did these things really happen after we were engaged?" She herself didn't believe in the jinxing. She knew that Song Yang had been bitten by a poisonous snake and that Song Yi had been pushed by someone behind her back. However, she felt that things weren't that simple.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. These things have nothing to do with you." Song Xiuyan's eyes were filled with anger. "These words were made up by Zhao Caiyun's mother. I'll go find her!"

Song Yang hurriedly took a step forward and stopped Song Xiuyan. "Xiuyan, don't go. I went to confront Zhao Caiyun's mother. She denied that those words were said by her. She only admitted that she called sister Ding Yao an jinx. Then, I went to ask Ah-jie. Ah-jie said that it was spread from the town. The source is in the town. I don't know who was the one who made up this nonsense."

Ding Yao and Song Xiuyan looked at each other and thought about the behavior of those people on the ox-cart... maybe this nonsense really came from the town. Zhao Caiyun's mother didn't go to the town today. Unless, she had arranged these words in advance and told it to another person before letting him spread it out. The purpose of her doing this was to get Song Xiuyan to divorce Ding Yao, and then marry Zhao Caiyun? This assumption was a little far-fetched because Song Xiuyan's family situation was too terrible. From Zhao Caiyun's brother, Zhao Dashan's attitude, the Zhao family should be against Zhao Caiyun liking Song Xiuyan.

Ding Yao washed her face and entered the room. Song Xiuyan followed in to enlighten her. "You said it yourself. There's no need to be unhappy because of other people's words."

Ding Yao smiled. "I'm not unhappy."

Song Xiuyan didn't believe her and continued to explain, "There's nothing going on between Zhao Caiyun and me. We didn't even talk much. It was all her wishful thinking."

Ding Yao turned to look at Song Xiuyan. His figure was tall and straight. Even though he was wearing a rough black shirt, he looked very good. He had wide shoulders and a narrow waist. His neck was long and slender. He was only twenty years old, but he shouldered a lot of responsibilities that he shouldn't bear at his age. Every day, he was very serious. If this face had a smile, who knew how many little girls would be charmed by it. A good-looking man would have many pursuers.

Ding Yao gestured and told Song Xiuyan, "I believe your words. I also know that Zhao Caiyun is just delusional." It was very obvious that a girl like Zhao Caiyun wasn't worthy of Song Xiuyan.

Song Xiuyan heaved a sigh of relief. Ding Yao looked at him and gestured seriously, "Do you believe that I'm ajJinx? Are you afraid that I'll implicate all of you?"

Song Xiuyan quickly shook his head. "I don't believe it. You saved Song Yang's life. Last night was the happiest night our family has had in years. Even Song Yi revealed a long-lost smile. What Jinx? You're clearly our family's lucky star."

Not to mention that Song Xiuyan knew that Song Yang was bitten by a poisonous snake because of someone else. Even if no one harmed Song Yang, he didn't believe that Ding Yao was a jinx. In his previous life, Ding Yao had died a long time ago. His family's unfortunate events still happened one after another. Song Xiuyan didn't believe that he jinxed his parents. How could he believe that Ding Yao was a jinx?

Ding Yao asked Song Xiuyan very seriously, "You said that your family has no enemies, and your second brother hasn't offended anyone. Then, have you ever suspected that the people who harmed your second brother, Song Yang, might be related to me?"

Song Xiuyan shook his head and answered affirmatively, "It has nothing to do with you." Those people must be his family's enemies. In his previous life, his family had been wiped out by those people, and everyone had died at their hands. After a pause, Song Xiuyan still told Ding Yao, "I suspect that the reason those people attacked my family has something to do with my background. However, I know very little about my background. We have implicated you."
