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

The third master didn't say anything.

They felt a little sad, thinking that their daughter/sister had really been greatly traumatized today, which was why they had these insights.

They would rather she be heartless than have her have such a big realization because of what happened today!

Xu Kui didn't usually smoke, but at this moment he took out a pipe from the drawer of the desk, lit a cigarette and started smoking.

Xu Jianhua, who was sitting next to them, looked at his father, then at his two brothers, and seemed to understand something and stopped talking.

After a while, Zhang Hongmei brought in a bowl of boiled eggs in sugar water.

She came over and handed the bowl to Xu Yu, saying, "Xiaoyu, drink the sugared eggs and go lie down on the bed. Mom will call you when it's time for dinner."

Xu Yu looked at Zhang Hongmei, whose eyes were red and she had obviously cried in the kitchen, and felt a little sad. He took the bowl, lowered his eyes and drank the sugared eggs quietly.

Zhang Hongmei looked at the bandage on her daughter's forehead and felt a little overwhelmed. She quickly wiped her daughter's eyes with the back of her hand while she wasn't paying attention.

After Xu Yu finished her sugar-water egg, Zhang Hongmei sent her to her room and laid her down. She patted her head and said, "Go to sleep. Don't think about anything else. With your dad and I here, no one can bully you."

Xu Yu's heart trembled violently a few times, and she felt her nose was particularly sore, so she quickly closed her eyes, and after concealing her strong sense of guilt, she hummed softly.

……

Xu Yu waited until Zhang Hongmei left before opening his eyes.

The original owner was really favored in this family. There were four brothers and sisters in their family. Except for the eldest brother who got engaged during the Chinese New Year this year and had already been allocated a piece of housing land and built a new house, the other three brothers had one room each and she had one room each.

Even if she got married today, her parents would not let the other two sons have their own room. Instead, they said that this room would be reserved for her to live in when she returned to her parents' home in the future, and there was more furniture in it than in her brothers' rooms.

In addition to her father being the village chief, her eldest brother drove a bus at the county bus station after retiring from the army, and her second brother was a breeder and manager at a collective breeding farm. In this era when people were basically unable to eat enough and wear warm clothes, she had already used snow cream that only city dwellers could afford, and could also eat White Rabbit milk candy from time to time.

But the original owner was also rough. Even if he had vanishing cream, he didn't like to use it. He also liked to run all over the mountains and fields, so his skin was tanned dark.

Xu Yu got out of bed, walked to the dressing table and sat down, looking at the girl in the mirror.

In fact, the original owner's facial features are very similar to hers, but she has taken very good care of herself in modern times, with fair and smooth skin, and her facial features look particularly delicate and beautiful. The original owner's facial features are dark and rough, so her beautiful facial features seem to be covered with a layer of black gauze, making her look much more ordinary.

Xu Yu raised his hand to touch his face and couldn't help complaining: "As expected, a white face can hide a hundred flaws, but a black face can ruin everything."

But it doesn't matter, she can make this face white and tender again soon.

After looking in the mirror, she lowered her footsteps and walked to the door, then put her ear to the door to listen to the conversation between several people in the main room.

Houses of this era have no sound insulation at all. Even though they obviously lowered their voices, Xu Yu could still hear them clearly.

After hearing what happened, grandpa and grandma were so angry that they started cursing. It was only when Xu Kui asked them not to disturb Xu Yu that they calmed down.

Zhang Hongmei cried and said, "It's all our fault. We didn't see Jiang Wei clearly at the beginning. If we had known he was that kind of person, I would never have agreed to let Xiaoyu marry him."

Then came the voice of Second Brother Xu, blaming himself: "It's my fault. I even went to their village to inquire about Jiang Wei's character, but I didn't even find out that Jiang Wei was having an affair with an educated youth from their village. If I had found out earlier, my sister wouldn't have married him!"

Brother Xu also blamed himself: "I've asked people to investigate Jiang Wei, but they didn't find any problems between him and the educated youth from his village. I can only say that this family is very scheming. They want to become in-laws with ours, so they must be keeping an eye on Jiang Wei and that female educated youth. Jiang Wei is also secretly cooperating with his family to get the qualification to go to university next year."

Brother Xu: "Since he wanted to get a place in college, why did he do this today?"

This question stumped Brother Xu, and he couldn't figure it out.

The hall was silent for a few seconds before Zhang Hongmei continued, "No matter what, it was their family who colluded to deceive our Xiaoyu, causing her to suffer so much injustice."

At this point, she burst into tears again: "Xiaoyu must have been hurt badly, that's why she seems like a different person."

"I would rather Xiaoyu make a scene at Jiang Wei's house and beat Jiang Wei up than for her to become so sensible."

"Woooooooo..."

Then there was Xu Kui's sigh.

Xu Kui said: "Recently everyone has been paying more attention to Xiaoyu and watching her more."

His words obviously frightened the others.

Second Brother Xu: "Could it be that my sister is deliberately pretending to be reconciled in front of us, but secretly hiding under the covers crying?"

Brother Xu: "What I'm most afraid of now is that she might do something stupid."

Xu Xiaodi: "Wuwuwu... I won't go to school anymore. I want to stay at home and look after my sister."

Xu Yu: “…”

After everyone discussed for a while how to watch Xu Yu, they started to work.

Xu Yu also lay back on the bed.

She stared at the coarse mosquito net and the wooden sloping beam tiled roof above her head, and rested her head on the slightly rough bamboo mat, her mind full of thoughts.

The more the Xu family doted on her, the more uneasy she felt.

She was afraid that she would be exposed, and that the family would not be able to bear it when they knew that she was not their biological daughter, sister or elder sister.

"Ah...if only I were born into a family where I wasn't favored!"

This way she won't feel guilty and can live her life peacefully.

I don’t know how long it took, but when the light in the room dimmed, I heard faint voices outside.

It goes without saying that those neighbors who had not seen the scene came to ask for gossip after work under the pretext of caring about her.

After all, in an era without mobile phones and televisions, the only entertainment in the village was gossip.

It just so happened that what happened to her today was quite explosive.

After being angry at Jiang Wei's behavior and showing some concern for Xu Yu, these people said the most:

"I heard that Xiaoyu said she wanted to remarry, and she wanted to remarry the man from the Jiang family who had been injured in the battlefield and had a scar on his face that could scare people to death. She must have been deliberately trying to piss off Jiang Wei, right?"

"No matter how much Jiang Wei says she's good-looking and can study, I think Xiaoyu must be just saying that out of anger. Why don't we have the village chief talk to the head of their village and then go to the town commune to talk about transferring that female educated youth so that Xiaoyu can go back and live a good life with him."

"Xiaoyu will discipline Jiang Wei properly and give birth to a few children for him. Jiang Wei will definitely behave himself."

"A man like that is not worth having. I think it's right for Xiaoyu not to marry him. But if she wants to remarry, she should marry someone better. How can she remarry a man who was injured in the battlefield and has scars on his face?"

"If Xiaoyu really marries that man, she must be prepared to not be able to have children. As the old saying goes, there are three unfilial acts: not having descendants is the worst."

……

Hearing these words, Xu Yu became annoyed. She really couldn't approve of the thoughts of many people in this era.

Fortunately, the noises disappeared after a while.

Then Zhang Hongmei's voice came: "The meal is ready. I'll go wake Xiaoyu up to eat."

Xu Xiaodi hurriedly said, "Mom, I want to go call my sister."

Then came the sound of running footsteps.

Soon there was a knock on Xu Yu's room door.

Xu Yu sat up and said, "Come in."

Xu Jianhua then opened the door and said, "Sister, it's time for dinner."

As soon as he saw Xu Yu getting out of bed to put on her shoes, he rushed over and squatted in front of her and said, "Sister, sit still and don't move. I'll help you put on your shoes."

Xu Yu didn't have time to refuse before he took the shoes away.

Xu Yu had no choice but to straighten up and watch him help her put on her clothes.

While helping her put on her shoes, Xiaodi Xu looked up at her face and asked cautiously, "Sister, does your head still hurt?"

Xu Yu felt warm in his heart and said, "It doesn't hurt much anymore."

Unexpectedly, Xu Xiaodi frowned and said in disbelief, "How could it not hurt? I heard them say you lost a lot of blood and were unconscious."

He looked like he was about to cry.

Xu Yu had little experience with children, and seeing little brother Xu about to cry, he was a little overwhelmed. He quickly reached out and touched his head while saying, "Don't cry, don't cry. As long as I think about not marrying a scumbag like Jiang Wei, my headache will go away."

Xu Xiaodi also hated Jiang Wei and nodded heavily: "Yes, that kind of bad guy is not worthy of marrying my sister."

After that, he said a little embarrassedly: "Sister, you have never touched my head before."

Xu Yu paused, not knowing whether to touch or remove the hand on his head. She smiled awkwardly and asked, "Do you like your sister touching your head?"

Xu Xiaodi nodded: "I like it."

But I feel a little conflicted: "Sisters like this are a bit gentle, but... I still prefer sisters who are not so gentle."

Xu Yu: “…”

So do you like it or not?
