The groom was kidnapped on the wedding day? Fine! I'll marry someone else.

Xu Yu held Jiang Yi's hand tightly. His hand was very big, and hers was small, so she could only hold a few fingers. When everyone looked over, she smiled and asked, "Can I take Brother Yi to have a few private words?"

Several men laughed.

The young man standing nearby was making a fuss again.

"Xiaoyu has been waiting for several days, and finally the person has come. Uncle San, you guys have been holding him back, and she is not happy about it."

"Brother-in-law, let me tell you, Xiaoyu has been counting the days on her fingers these past few days at home with nothing to do. She can't wait for you to marry her right away."

Xu Yu: “…”

Xu Yu glared at them and said dissatisfiedly: "Can you please stop talking nonsense there?"

Then he pulled Jiang Yi outside and said, "Brother Yi, let's go for a walk outside. There are too many people here. Some people are unconscious and might eavesdrop on us later."

Her words immediately drew cheers from many young people.

"Xiaoyu, who do you think is unconscious?"

"We are not that kind of people."

……

Xu Yucai didn't listen to them and pulled Jiang Yi to walk faster.

The two of them walked straight towards the river, but not towards the place where she had washed clothes before, but towards the direction of the small woods.

After they reached a deserted place, Xu Yu asked Jiang Yi, "Brother Yi, is the tiger cub growing well these days?"

"Yeah, I gained a little weight."

"Really? That's good. It seems Dingdang really can take care of the tiger cub."

"Ah."

As Jiang Yi was being pulled by her, he kept an eye on her feet, fearing that she would fall again.

Xu Yu didn't know, and told him what she had done in the past few days and her plans.

"Grandpa Huang has helped me improve several beauty products. When the time comes, I'll have my eldest brother and the others take them to the female workers in the furniture factory. They should become well-known among the factories in the county this year, and I'll be able to make a fortune before the New Year."

Jiang Yi listened quietly until the two of them reached the grove by the river.

The leaves have almost all fallen off this season, and the branches are bare, with occasionally two sparrows flying between them.

The water in the river was not deep. Looking up, I saw two wild ducks catching fish in the water.

Xu Yu stopped, and Jiang Yi stopped as well.

Xu Yu turned and looked at him, his eyes shining with confidence.

Jiang Yi looked into her eyes and was absent-minded for a moment.

Xu Yu smiled and asked him, "Brother Yi, what do you think of my money-making plan?"

Jiang Yi thought for a few seconds before speaking, "Okay, but... we're still a little far from the county town. If someone uses your beauty medicine and something goes wrong, it might be a minor issue. If you can't handle it in time, it could become a bigger problem, which would be disadvantageous to you."

Xu Yu was silent.

Jiang Yi added, "Also, once your beauty medicine becomes famous, many people will definitely want to make money from it. There are regular pharmacies and barefoot doctors in the county town. You are far away, and there is no guarantee that these people will not use your prescription to make the same medicine. Then they can lower the price a little..."

Jiang Yi carefully analyzed the possible problems that might arise with Xu Yu, and the more Xu Yu listened, the brighter his eyes became.

After Jiang Yi finished analyzing all the possible situations that might happen later with Xu Yu, Xu Yu looked at him with sparkling eyes and said with admiration from the bottom of his heart: "Brother Yi, you have considered it so carefully. There are some things I haven't thought of yet."

She always thought she was an expert at making money, but suddenly she realized that compared with Brother Yi, her little tricks of making money were not worth mentioning at all.

Xu Yu took his hand again, and the two walked to a big rock, sat side by side, and continued to talk about what might happen next and how she should prevent it now.

……

"I can guarantee that no one else can imitate my formula, especially since the herbs we collected from the mountains may not be available to others. However, it's possible that they might substitute other herbs, and the customer wouldn't know. So I'd better mark it. What do you think?"

"Well, yes."

Jiang Yi suggested: "It is best to determine from the beginning who took the medicine and from whom the other party took the medicine. If someone else took it instead, it is fake."

Xu Yu nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll have a good chat with Big Brother, Xiao Tang and the others then."

"Ah."

With Jiang Yi's advice, Xu Yu felt her mind was open a lot, and she subconsciously thought about what to do next.

Jiang Yi didn't disturb her and just sat with her quietly.

The wind blew around and sparrows chirped in the treetops. Just sitting there, Jiang Yi felt inexplicably calm.

But it was cold, so after sitting for a while, he said to her, "Xiaoyu, get up and walk around. The stones are too cold. Don't catch a cold."

Xu Yu tilted his head to look at him, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and hummed.

Jiang Yi stood up first.

Xu Yu didn't stand up by himself, but stretched out his hand to him.

Jiang Yi reached out and grabbed her hand, then pulled her up.

The two walked casually in the woods hand in hand.

After a while, Xu Yu asked Jiang Yi, "Have your other comrades arrived?"

"It should arrive tonight."

"Have they arranged for accommodation?"

"Well, let them stay in the room next to my parents' bedroom first. My parents have also contacted the families they have a good relationship with, so they can stay with them when the time comes."

"That's good." Xu Yu said, and then turned his head to look at him. His eyes stayed on the scar on his face for a few seconds, and suddenly asked: "Brother Yi, do you want to return to the army soon?"

Jiang Yi also tilted his head to look at her, his eyes deep, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. After a while, he suddenly looked straight ahead and said in a serious and firm voice:

"My comrades and I swore an oath that if we couldn't completely defeat those ferocious and greedy enemies, who were as ferocious as jackals, tigers and leopards, and make them never dare to covet our territory again, we would never retreat, even if it meant sacrificing our lives and shedding our blood!"

Xu Yu looked at him and felt that the man in front of him was unusually tall.

She held his hand tightly, thinking of the prosperity of the future, and said to him seriously: "Your vows will surely come true soon."

Jiang Yi also nodded at her seriously.

Looking at him like this, Xu Yu felt inexplicably moved and suddenly wanted to hug him.

So she let go of his hand, walked up to him, and hugged his waist directly under his gaze.

The soft and fragrant girl fell into his arms. Jiang Yi lowered his eyes and looked at her seriously, with a surge of emotions in his eyes.

Just as he was about to hug her back, Xu Yu looked up at him and said with a smile: "But your body is probably not suitable for going to the battlefield yet, so you will belong to me for a long time. During this time, you are mine alone. Do whatever I ask you to do."

Jiang Yi looked at the bright and fierce little face in front of him, his heart warmed, and he hummed.

Xu Yu was happy and gestured to him: "Brother Yi, lower your head."

Jiang Yi didn't know what she was going to do, so he subconsciously lowered his head and moved closer to her.

Xu Yu took advantage of his unpreparedness and kissed him on the lips, then smiled at him like a little fox.

Jiang Yi's eyes turned deep and his Adam's apple rolled slightly.

Xu Yu said to him, "This is a reward for your obedience."

After saying that, he let him go and pulled him forward, asking about their preparations for the banquet and whether the backyard had been repaired.

Jiang Yi told her everything.

Xu Yu was very satisfied and looked forward to their wedding even more.

The two walked along the river for a long time before Xu Jianping came to ask them to go back for dinner, and then the three of them walked back together.

There was no one else on the road, so Xu Jianping asked the question that puzzled him: "Sister, tell me honestly, how did you deal with the Zhang sisters? They looked so miserable. Did you threaten them?"

He was just curious and was still very angry about his sister falling into the river.

Xu Yu smiled at him and said, "How could I possibly threaten them?"

Then he looked at Jiang Yi, and the smile in his eyes became even wider.

Xu Jianping thought that it was Jiang Yi who went to the river to pick her up. Even if he didn't threaten her, the Zhang family would not dare to act arrogantly because of Jiang Yi. At the same time, she thought of her sister saying that Jiang Yi was her lifelong bodyguard, and she laughed for no reason.

Only Jiang Yi was a little confused about what was so funny about these two siblings.
