The waiter saw at first glance that these two people didn't understand. Judging from their demeanor, they must be important customers. The smile on his face became even wider, and he took out a box of lip balm, a box of powder, and a box of blush from the cabinet.

"Please look, these are the best-selling items in our store. My sister-in-law will definitely be happy if you buy them back."

Jiang Yuwen quickly waved his hands, "No, no, it's for my sister."

The waiter quickly changed his tone and said, "Your sister is so lucky to have a brother like you who loves her so much. I'm sure your sister will be happy if you buy it for her."

Jiang Yuwen was also happy to be praised. He thought about his sister holding the things and looking happy. He had never bought these for her before because he had no money. He thought she must like them too.

Jiang Yuwen didn't even ask the price, "Then pack it up."

The waiter looked at Xiao Yifeng again, "Sir, would you like to take one too?"

Xiao Yifeng shook his head, his voice cold, "No need."

He had no one to send him off.

After buying rouge and powder, Jiang Yuwen walked towards the jewelry shop next door.

Xiao Yifeng followed slowly.

The jewelry was so varied that Jiang Yuwen was dazzled.

Jiang Yuwen glanced at Xiao Yifeng and said, "Boss, please give me some advice."

Xiao Yifeng remembered that Jiang Yutong often used a wooden hairpin to tie her hair up, so he picked up a hairpin and said, "Let's take this one."

Xiao Yifeng thought to himself, "It's still too rough."

Jiang Yuwen picked it up and saw that it was a silver hairpin with paulownia flowers carved on it. It was quite beautiful and just matched his sister's name.

"This one, then."

After buying the things, the two men rode away on horseback.

The two men hurried and arrived at Shangyuan Village before dark.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves, everyone thought it was Jiang Yutong coming back, and some came out to greet him with a smile, but they didn't expect it to be two strange men.

"What do you do? Who are you looking for?"

Jiang Yuwen quickly dismounted and said, "Hello, Auntie. I'm Jiang Yutong's brother. I'm looking for Jiang Yutong."

The old lady looked Jiang Yuwen up and down, and found that he really looked a bit like Jiang Yutong.

The old lady clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Oh, you are Yutong's brother. It's great that you are still alive."

"Yutong finally got you back, but unfortunately, Yutong went to the county town and hasn't come back yet."

Those who heard the noise came over quickly, looked at Jiang Yuwen carefully, and asked him about his situation in the past few years.

"Who's that next to you?"

When Jiang Yuwen heard that his sister was not there, he was as disappointed as he was excited just now.

But he still forced a smile and answered everyone's questions.

"This is my sworn brother, my boss."

Xiao Yifeng had an indifferent look on his face and just nodded. Seeing Xiao Yifeng's indifferent expression, everyone knew at a glance that he was not someone to be trifled with, so they turned around and grabbed Jiang Yuwen to start chatting with him again.

Just as Jiang Yuwen was considering whether to rush back to the county town overnight, Doctor Li pushed everyone aside and excitedly approached Jiang Yuwen, "Yuwen, is it really you?"

Jiang Yuwen's memory was fuzzy. "Are you Doctor Li?"

Doctor Li smiled with tears in his eyes, "You are finally back. Where have you been all these years? It must have been so hard for Yutong to be alone."

Jiang Yuwen felt uncomfortable after hearing what Doctor Li said.

"I......"

"It's good that you're back. Yutong isn't at home. Since you're back, come to my house for dinner first. Someone in the village has the key to Yutong's house. You can stay here tonight. Maybe Yutong will be back tomorrow."

Jiang Yuwen had no choice but to say goodbye to the villagers and follow Doctor Li back home.

Xiao Yifeng followed.

When they returned to the Li family, Aunt Wang had also heard about it. She took out the only bacon in the house and fried some chili peppers with bacon.

"Yuwen, please sit down quickly. The food will be ready soon."

Aunt Wang entertained us warmly.

Jiang Yuwen felt like he was back home when he heard the familiar accent, but unfortunately his sister was not at home.

Aunt Wang sent Li Nanxing out to get some wine.

Jiang Yuwen quickly stopped her, "Auntie, I don't drink, please don't be polite."

"Don't be polite to me. If it weren't for you, your uncle would have died long ago. I will remember this favor for the rest of my life."

Jiang Yuwen smiled innocently, "It's just a matter of convenience. I really can't drink."

"If you don't drink, this big brother will drink."

Xiao Yifeng, who was called "big brother", moved his mouth and said, "I don't drink either."

Xiao Yifeng was quite familiar with Aunt Wang, and she was indeed nice to Jiang Yutong.

After finally stopping Li Nanxing, several people sat down and started eating.

Aunt Wang sighed, "Hey, there aren't many dishes. You guys just have to make do with what you have. Bandits just came over and looted all the food at home."

Jiang Yuwen's heart tightened when he heard this. The village was full of farmers, and they couldn't resist the bandits. "Why would these bandits enter the village at this time?"

Usually there is food after the autumn harvest, but the villagers are also on guard at that time.

Aunt Wang said helplessly, "Who knows? The villagers were not prepared and suffered heavy losses."

"So, is there anything wrong with my sister?"

Jiang Yuwen thought of Jiang Yutong, who was alone and how scared she must have been if she encountered bandits.

"It just so happened that your sister didn't come back from the county town that day, but her house was ransacked, and we helped clean it up. It was the first time in a long time that I saw Yutong looking so lonely."

Jiang Yuwen couldn't even enjoy his meal anymore.

After barely finishing the meal, Sister Xing'er came over with the key, "I heard that Brother Yutong is back, so I brought the key."

Everyone sent Jiang Yuwen and Jiang Yutong's family to Jiang Yutong's home.

"This was an abandoned house at the end of the village. Yutong renovated it and now lives here."

Jiang Yuwen looked at him and felt inexplicably warm.

Xiao Yifeng felt both familiar and unfamiliar. What was familiar was that he had lived here for a long time and the layout was still the same as before. What was unfamiliar was that a lot of things had been added inside and there was no trace of him anymore.

After seeing everyone off, Jiang Yuwen started to wander around, looking for any trace of his sister.

Xiao Yifeng walked to the side room as if he knew the place well, opened the door, and saw that it was filled with tools for making MSG.

Suddenly, an inexplicable emotion arose in my heart.

......

At this time, Jiang Yutong sent Shi Donglian and her daughter back home, and had no idea that his brother had returned to Shangyuan Village.

As for the Ning family, when Ning Yao heard the villagers say that Jiang Yuwen had returned to Shangyuan Village on a tall horse, she felt an inexplicable chill in her heart.

I wanted to pack up and escape from this place immediately.

I could only console myself by saying, "Jiang Yutong was sold to the Ning family as a child bride. The money sent to Jiang Yutong was from the Ning family. I am not wrong."

"As for the divorce, it was Jiang Yutong's own request, and I'm not wrong."

Ning Yao clenched her fists. Yes, she was right.
