Call Off the Engagement and Take the Money! Then I Marry My Ex’s Uncle in a Whirlwind Wedding

Li Qiuxin transmigrated into the pitiful village girl in a period novel and went to the city with a keepsake to search for her relatives.

But she arrived just as the fiancé chosen for her in infancy was discussing marriage with the factory director's daughter.

The scumbag's family thought she looked miserably poor and tossed her a hundred yuan to get rid of her, as if she were a beggar:

“Take the money and get back to the countryside. Don't ruin Zhiwei's future!”

Li Qiuxin's mind raced, but on the surface, she wept like a pear blossom in the rain.

She turned the tables with a barrage of moral pressure and threats, squeezing three hundred yuan and a bundle of scarce industrial coupons out of them before walking away without a shred of regret.

Who knew that just outside the family compound, she would collide with an officer, broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, his aura icy and imposing?

This man wasn't just the youngest, most fearsome regiment commander in the entire military district.

He was also the scumbag fiancé's beloved younger uncle, whom he'd called “Uncle” for twenty years: Xiang Changyu!

Xiang Changyu was fed up with his family's pressure to marry and needed a sensible, money-loving wife who wasn't interested in romance to help him fend it off;

Li Qiuxin desperately needed a powerful backer to escape her doomed side-character fate and stay in the city.

“Military dependent's permit, full allowance turned over to you, and we'll register our marriage.”

“Deal!”

Later, the scumbag came back with his new wife to show off his newly secured permanent position.

To his horror, he saw his lofty, cold-hearted uncle...

Kneeling on one knee with a basin of hot water, washing the feet of that village girl from the countryside!

“What are you standing there for?” Xiang Changyu raised his eyes slightly, his gaze full of pressure. “Call her Aunt.”
