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

"Definitely not." Xu Jianjun always had his own principles: "I'm willing to give 400 yuan because I want to find a way to pay it. I don't want to get into trouble with the Zhao family because of this matter during this last period of time. In the future, as long as Cui'e and I don't make too much money, we will definitely pay our filial piety during the holidays."

Xu Jianping asked, "What if they are greedy?"

"If they are greedy, then we should calculate how much they have given Cui'e over the years and give them what they deserve first."

When Xu Yu heard this, he suddenly felt that it was really tiring to have a big brother with a saw-mouthed gourd. Since he had already made plans, he should have said it earlier and not let them worry about it in vain!

Thinking of the four words "saw-mouthed gourd", Xu Yu subconsciously looked at Jiang Yi again.

This guy is just like the big brother!

Jiang Yi felt Xu Yu's gaze and looked at her with questioning eyes.

Xu Yu asked them, "Do you men think that if you can handle everything yourself, you don't need to let others know?"

Then, seeing the two of them looking at him in agreement, he rolled his eyes at them rudely: "You guys don't say anything, which is most likely to cause misunderstandings. Be careful that your wife will be pissed off and run away, then you'll be single for the rest of your life!"

Jiang Yi: "..."

Brother Xu: “…”

Second Brother Xu: “…”

……

The four chatted for a while, and then Xu Jianjun and Xu Jianping left.

There should be no other guests in the guesthouse tonight, and the entire backyard is quiet and chilly.

Xu Yu went to the toilet, and Jiang Yi was worried, so he stood in the yard waiting.

Xu Yu felt like he was going to be suffocated by this dry toilet, so he quickly finished and walked towards the well.

Jiang Yi brought her a bucket of water in advance. After Xu Yu washed her hands, she felt that her whole body still smelled bad. She complained uncomfortably: "This toilet is too smelly. Why can't I buy a house? I really want to buy a house in the county town."

Jiang Yi pondered for a moment and didn't respond. Worried that she would be cold standing outside, he said, "Go inside and wash up. It's windy at night."

"No, I have to get rid of the stench on my body."

Sometimes Jiang Yi had no way to deal with Xu Yu, so he just stood on her upper hand.

Xu Yu pushed him: "Don't get too close to me, I still smell. Don't you smell too?"

"It doesn't stink."

Xu Yu felt that he was lying with his eyes open.

But it was really cold outside, so they stood there for a while before going in.

After washing up, he lay on the bed. There was only a mattress under him, which did not block anything. Xu Yu lay directly on Jiang Yi and used him as a mattress.

After finding a comfortable position, she spoke: "Brother Yi, how much do you think it would be appropriate for me to charge Aunt Tang and the others?"

Jiang Yi put his arm around her waist and tucked her feet between his legs to keep her warm. After a moment's thought, he said, "Director Wu's goal today is to get me to help him. No matter how much you charge, he'll definitely give you more in other ways."

"You'll be doing business with a lot of people here in the future, so you need to set the right price. Favors can be exchanged through other means."

Xu Yu looked up at him. The light from the bulb, which was only a few watts, was very dim, but Xu Yu felt that no matter what the light was, he gave people a feeling of strength and determination.

Xu Yu raised his head and kissed him on the chin, his voice full of laughter: "Brother Yi, if you didn't join the army, you would definitely be the best at everything you do."

Thinking that other than being a soldier, other jobs seemed difficult these days, he changed his tone and said, "Being a soldier is still the best. Only strong men like you can drive away those jackals, tigers and leopards in China, and then let our country stand at the top of the world."

Jiang Yi's heart burned with passion after hearing Xu Yu's last words. He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, his voice remarkably firm: "One day we will be able to stand at the top of the world."

Xu Yu looked at him, put her arms around his neck and kissed him.

Jiang Yi caught it.

Their lips touched gently, and at that moment, it seemed as if they were the only ones left in the world.

This kiss was gentle and lingering.

Xu Yu closed her eyes slightly, feeling the warmth and touch from his lips, with endless tenderness and sweetness surging in her heart.

Jiang Yi hugged her tightly and conveyed the burning love in his heart to her through a lingering kiss.

Moonlight is like water.

Both of them enjoyed this moment of sweet warmth.

……

Xu Yu slept well, but was awakened by the sound of Jiang Yi and Xu Jianping talking outside the door.

Xu Jianping asked Jiang Yi, "Isn't that lazy little sister of mine awake yet?"

Jiang Yi: "Yeah."

"It's almost seven o'clock. Won't she get up for breakfast?"

"Let her sleep a little longer, there's no rush."

"Then teach me how to box. I think I need to learn this too. Otherwise, it would be hard to catch a pig."

Jiang Yi seemed to think for a moment before saying, "I'll teach you a few grappling techniques. Once you master them, catching a pig will be no problem."

Xu Yu was amused by their conversation.

When she got up, put on her clothes, took her toiletries and opened the door, she saw two men standing in the yard, one teaching and the other learning how to grapple.

When the two men stood together, they had a huge difference in body size. Jiang Yi's every move was full of absolute power and his punches were fast.

If Xu Jianping were a little whiter, he would really be a weak scholar.

Watching him swing his fist, Xu Yu couldn't help but cover his eyes and said to him in disdain: "Second brother, didn't you eat?"

Xu Jianping glared at her in dissatisfaction and said confidently, "I didn't eat in the first place. I was just waiting for you, the lazy little pig, to get up and eat together."

Xu Yu: “…”

Xu Yu walked to the stone platform with her toiletries. Jiang Yi stopped to get the boiled water he had fetched in the morning, and then filled her with a bucket of well water before continuing to instruct Xu Jianping on her movements.

Xu Yu squatted there, brushing his teeth while watching Xu Jianping being coached by Jiang Yi. He even deliberately said to Jiang Yi, "Brother Yi, don't be polite to the second brother. He's so weak and he's being pushed around by a pig. He deserves a good lesson."

Xu Jianping glared at her.

Then he found that Jiang Yi was really stricter with him than before.

"The posture is wrong."

"Again."

Xu Jianping: “…”

After Xu Yu finally finished washing up, Jiang Yi finally ended his strict guidance of Xu Jianping.

Xu Jianping hurried in to help pack up.

Xu Yu said to Jiang Yi, "Brother Yi, when we get back, teach our second brother a few more moves. Every time we go back, check on his progress. If he doesn't meet your expectations, punish him the way you punish your subordinates. Make him stronger, and then he won't be pushed out by the pig again."

Xu Jianping: “…”

This matter can't be resolved, right?

but……

He seemed unable to refute it.

Xu Jianping: "Jiang Yi, I will learn from you in the future."

Jiang Yi nodded.

After the three of them packed their things and Jiang Yi put on the backpack, the three of them prepared to go out and check out.

Unexpectedly, just as he walked out, He Meifeng's voice came from outside the door: "Comrade Xu."

The three of them looked over and saw He Meifeng walking in alone from outside.

Jiang Yi went over to check out.

Xu Yu and Xu Jianping stood there.

They knew He Meifeng's purpose without having to guess.

He Meifeng walked up to them. She first glanced at Jiang Yi, who had his back to them, and then politely said to Xu Yu, "You haven't eaten yet, right? I'll treat you to breakfast."

Xu Yu looked at her and didn't feel like beating around the bush with her: "Forget about breakfast. Comrade He, if you have anything to talk to me about, just tell me directly."

He Meifeng was a little unhappy that Xu Yu didn't give her face, but she held it in and directly told her the purpose of looking for her: "I want to buy beauty and whitening medicine from you."

"I don't want ordinary beauty and whitening medicine. I want something like the one you gave Tang Chunling, and I want it to work faster. As long as you can make me whiter and more beautiful before I get engaged, I don't care how much it costs."

Xu Yu raised his eyebrows and asked her, "Comrade He, do you think I can cast spells?"

He Meifeng frowned, feeling that Xu Yu was joking with her: "You are not a god, what magic can you do?"

Xu Yu asked her in a puzzled tone: "Since you know I'm not a deity and don't know magic, then why do you think I can make you white and beautiful in such a short time?"

After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment before continuing, "Becoming more beautiful and fairer can be done with makeup. If you want temporary beauty and fairer skin, I can help you."

"Who wants a short life? I want to keep getting whiter and more beautiful."

Xu Yu shrugged: "Then I can't help it."

Although He Meifeng was dissatisfied, she also knew that this request was indeed a bit unreasonable, so she asked, "If it can't be shortened, then it can't be shortened. Then two months should be fine, right?"

Xu Yu nodded: "It may not achieve the effect you expect, but at least it will make everyone think that you have become whiter and your skin has become much better."

"Okay, I want this effect."

"Let me be clear, the specially prepared medicine is a bit expensive."

"Who are you looking down on? How much is it?"

"The first course of treatment is two months and costs 20 yuan, and then..."

He Meifeng's eyes widened in disbelief at first, and then she shrieked in frustration, "Comrade Xu, are you robbing me?"
