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

After Xu Yu returned to the Jiang family, she basically did not go out. She was always fiddling with her medicinal herbs in the backyard.

Except for going to the river with Yang Wenhui to wash clothes in the morning.

This is the best time to listen to gossip.

Everyone was still talking about Xue Yunyan.

"I heard that the town's Youth League Office has already contacted Xue Yunyan's family, and they will definitely be able to send her back before the New Year."

"The woman was filthy and asked everyone if they had seen Jiang Wei. She even asked everyone to look at their son."

"Since she loved her child so much, why was she so cruel back then?"

"It really is what he deserves and what a sin."

"But Xiaoyu, you don't have to worry about her having any bad intentions towards you now. This woman's brain is broken now. She only knows how to hug the pillow and cry and laugh at the same time."

Xu Yu nodded and said nothing about Xue Yunyan's affairs.

The next night Xu Jianping came to pick up Xu Yu.

The village was slaughtering the New Year pig, and Xu Jianjun also came back.

He also arrived home at night.

Brother Xu took a day off to get married during the Chinese New Year, so he hasn't had a rest since Xu Yu got married.

While he was eating, everyone sat around the fire, warming themselves and chatting.

Brother Xu handed Xu Yu a list wrapped in newspaper and a handful of money: "Xiao Tang, please write down the details of the money you collected on a piece of paper. There are 16.53 yuan. Check to see if it is correct."

Xu Yu took it, glanced at the list, counted a handful of money, nodded at him, and asked with a smile, "Brother, did Xiao Tang later tell you about the effects of other people using the medicine I prescribed?"

"Yes, Xiao Tang came to me a few days ago and told me briefly about it. They all used it and it worked well."

Then she added, "The acne marks on Xiao Tang's face are almost invisible unless you look closely. She said she's very grateful to you and asked when you can visit her in the county."

"That's good." Xu Yu nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "When Brother Yi comes back, I'll go to the county with him."

Brother Xu smiled and said, "It seems that my sister can really make money with this."

After saying that, he deliberately stretched out his hand to her and teased her: "Sister, you have made so much money, give me some to buy food."

Xu Yu directly pocketed the money, slapped his palm, and said rudely: "No."

Brother Xu was upset and cursed, "You little heartless guy!"

Xu Yu bared her teeth at him and deliberately said to her younger brother, "Brother, I'll buy you some bubble gum when I go to town."

Xu Xiaodi was so happy that he clapped his hands and cheered: "Great! Thank you, sister."

Second Brother Xu: "...This sister can be thrown away!"

"Hehe~"

The elders sitting nearby couldn't help laughing.

Everyone talked about Xu Yu selling medicine in the county town, and then turned the topic to Brother Xu.

Xu Yu asked him, "Brother, did your sister-in-law say when she'll be back?"

"I won't be back until the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month."

"Will she go back to school after the Lunar New Year? Or will she go directly to her assigned unit?"

"Report directly to the unit."

"Where was she assigned?"

"City Radio Station."

"That's great!"

Everyone was very happy to hear the news.

After all, being assigned to the city radio station means a real iron rice bowl, and the job is decent, which makes you proud to tell others about it.

Zhang Hongmei was delighted and said to Xu Jianjun, "Call all of Cui'e's family members over at noon the day after tomorrow so we can have a meal together. We need to let our in-laws know about this great news."

When Xu Yu and Xu Erge heard this, they both hesitated to speak.

Whenever their sister-in-law has something to say, she always talks to her eldest brother first, and then her eldest brother tells them.

But the brother and sister felt that it would be better not to tell their eldest sister-in-law's family about this in advance.

But since Brother Xu also agreed, they couldn't say anything more.

Especially before, Xu Yu and Xu Erge had always thought that the eldest sister-in-law's family would come to them to ask about the betrothal gift soon, but they didn't expect that they haven't mentioned it yet.

This made it even more difficult for Xu Yu and Xu Jianping to say anything in advance.

The next day soon came.

As soon as the sky was getting light, the whole Red Star Village became bustling with activity.

Every household had arranged their tasks in advance. At this moment, some people were carrying large iron pots, some were carrying firewood, some were carrying buckets, and some were carrying backpacks and hemp ropes. Everyone walked towards the pig farm together.

Thinking of the pork they were about to get, everyone had a bright smile on their face.

When they arrived at the pig farm, all the strong men went in to catch the pigs.

The women set up more than a dozen large iron pots next to the pig farm, some of them were making fire, some were fetching water, and some were chopping wood.

Soon, the men's passionate pursuit of the pigs began in the pigpen.

"Ouch! Quickly hold its head!"

"Grab the legs! Grab the legs!"

“Run away! Run away!”

"Zhang Qiang blocks the way!"

"Wang Er from the side!"

"Ouch! This pig is so damn strong!"

"Li Tieniu, be careful!"

"Brother, come on!"

……

Shouts, screams, various commands, voices of worry, encouragement and the screams of frightened pigs resounded through the sky.

All the pigs were well raised by Xu Jianping and his team, and they were all fat and strong.

Because of this, it is difficult for even a dozen men to hold down a pig.

In previous years, several people would be injured every year when pigs were slaughtered.

This year is no exception. It didn't take long before someone was kicked by the pig's trotter.

After the people inside helped the man who was kicked by the pig's hoof out, Xu Yu and Doctor Huang hurried to check on him.

The man had a broken bone, and Dr. Huang immediately set it.

However, this did not affect everyone's excitement and passion.

There were too many pigs, so most of them were killed in the morning. In the afternoon, only a few larger, fatter and stronger pigs were left.

Before long, someone else was injured.

Seeing so many people struggling to catch a single pig, Xu Yu said to Dr. Huang, "Grandpa Huang, what do you think about us just using drugs to knock these pigs unconscious?"

Before Dr. Huang could even begin to speak, someone standing nearby who had just overheard objected: "The pig should be killed alive and kicking. It's unlucky to kill it while it's enchanted."

Xu Yu frowned and was about to retort when he saw his second brother being directly pushed several meters away by a pig on the head.

"what……"

Peng!

Xu Jianping was pushed out and fell heavily to the ground. He couldn't get up at all. Unexpectedly, the pig rushed directly towards him.

Others simply couldn't stop him.

Not to mention Xu Yu, many people were shocked.

Many members of the Xu family who were scattered in other places rushed towards that direction.

Zhang Hongmei was so anxious that she cried.

"Jianping! Get up quickly!"

"Xu Jianping! The pigs are coming towards you!"

"Get up and run!"

"Stop the pig!"

"what……"

The moment Xu Jianping was pushed out by the pig and fell to the ground, he not only felt that his internal organs were dislocated, but also his waist was sprained. At this moment, there was a buzzing sound in his ears and he could not hear any other sounds at all. He also saw stars and felt like vomiting.

It took several seconds for the situation to improve. When he heard everyone's exclamations, he subconsciously looked up, and then looked in horror at the big fat pig weighing three or four hundred pounds that was about to rush to him and step on him.

"Ah...Jianping, quickly get out of the way!"

"Jianping!"

"Second brother!"

Xu Jianping also wanted to dodge to the side, but he was in so much pain that he couldn't move at all. He could only stare at the pig that was closer to him with wide eyes in horror.

"what……"

Screams of terror rang out one after another.

There were also many voices shouting at him to get out of the way.

There were many people following the pig, trying to catch it.

Two people had already grabbed the pig's tail. The pig had obviously gone mad at this point, and was pulling the people holding its tail forward.

Even if they slowed down the pig's speed, it couldn't stop it from getting closer and closer to Brother Xu.

Xu Yu's mind was buzzing, but her hand subconsciously reached into the cloth bag on her back. She quickly took out a medicine bottle and wanted to rush over as soon as possible.

But she was standing outside the pigpen, a little distance away from the fence gate, and at least six or seven meters away from Brother Xu. How could she make it in time!

Just when she was so anxious that her hands were shaking while holding the medicine bottle, she felt a pat on her shoulder, and at the same time, a voice that sounded like an illusion came: "Xiaoyu, give me the medicine bottle."
