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

Just after dinner in the evening, Xu Kui was hurriedly called away by a family in the village. One of the daughters-in-law in that family had a fight with her mother-in-law. It was said that the daughter-in-law broke the mother-in-law's leg, and he was asked to seek justice.

It is rare in the village for a daughter-in-law to beat her mother-in-law so hard, so it immediately became the focus of gossip.

As soon as everyone finished their meal, the neighbors all brought their stools to sit in the yard and chat about this family.

"Sun Guizhi is such a powerful old woman, but she actually had her legs broken by her daughter-in-law! Which of her daughters-in-law has such powerful abilities?"

"It must be her youngest daughter-in-law, Liu Fengjuan. Her other daughters-in-law have long been completely subservient to her. Only educated youth daughters-in-law like Liu Fengjuan, who came from a big city, dare to go against her."

"When Zhang Yang married Liu Fengjuan, wasn't Sun Guizhi very happy? Why did they suddenly start fighting, and how did they fight so fiercely?"

"Yes, I heard that Liu Fengjuan's family was very well-off and she was pretty. After she came here, her family sent her a lot of things. At that time, many young people in the village were interested in her, but Zhang Yang was the most thoughtful. Not only did he help her with the work every day, but Sun Guizhi also often cooked for her. Otherwise, she would not have liked Zhang Yang."

"It's possible that Sun Guizhi felt that her son should obey her since he married Liu Fengjuan, and Liu Fengjuan couldn't stand the dominance of her mother-in-law, so the two of them started fighting."

"Given Sun Guizhi's formidable strength, she definitely wouldn't stop even if her legs were broken. Liu Fengjuan will have a tough time later."

"I heard that Sun Guizhi is dissatisfied with Liu Fengjuan because she hasn't gotten pregnant even after being married to their family for half a year."

……

Even if Xu Yu stayed at home, he could still hear everyone's gossip clearly.

The relationship between the original owner and Liu Fengjuan was actually pretty good at the beginning.

The person Liu Fengjuan had her eyes on at first was actually her second brother, but her second brother was devoted to raising pigs and was relatively straight-laced in relationships between men and women, so every time Liu Fengjuan approached him, he said he didn't have time and ignored her.

After all, Liu Fengjuan was an educated youth from a big city, and she was also rich and beautiful, with her own pride. She obviously felt hurt after being rejected several times. It just so happened that she was always sick during that period, so Zhang Yang took advantage of the opportunity.

After she married into Zhang Yang's family, her in-laws and Zhang Yang treated her very well. She was once the envy of other wives in the village. However, they never expected that such a thing would happen after they had been married for only half a year.

However, when mentioning Liu Fengjuan, Xu Yu suddenly had an idea. If this kind of educated youth from the big city could become her client, it would definitely be of great help to her career in the future, so she planned to find an opportunity to visit her.

Xu Yu was thinking about things while preparing to change the medicine.

At this time, Zhang Hongmei knocked on the door and came in.

When she saw Xu Yu changing the medicine, she came over to help.

After removing the gauze, the injured area had already scabbed over.

Zhang Hongmei looked at the large red scab on her forehead and was particularly worried that it would leave a mark, so she said, "When the time comes, ask Dr. Huang if he has any ointment that can remove it. We can't let this scar stay on your forehead forever."

Xu Yu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mom. The scar on my forehead will be easy to remove when the time comes."

After saying that, he even mentioned Jiang Yi deliberately: "Don't even mention the scar on my forehead. I can even remove the scars on Brother Yi's face."

Zhang Hongmei definitely didn't believe it: "His scar is so deep, and it's been so long. If it could really be removed, he should have removed it long ago."

Xu Yu didn't say much now, and immediately changed the topic to what everyone was talking about outside: "I think the Sun Guizhi they are talking about is similar to Jiang Wei's mother. Look, they are already calculating my dowry before I even get married. If I really live with Jiang Wei, won't they calculate what will happen to me? I have a bad temper, and I will definitely not be able to stand her calculations and fight with her every day."

Zhang Hongmei stopped talking. In fact, she agreed with her daughter's words in her heart. Judging from Li Cuihua's behavior that day, she was obviously an unreasonable shrew. Fortunately, everyone saw their true colors that day.

……

When Xu Kui came back, everyone in the yard had already gone back to sleep. Zhang Hongmei heated up the food for Xu Kui, and the couple sat in the main room and talked about this matter.

Xu Yu just happened to be awake, so he lay on the bamboo mat and listened to them.

Zhang Hongmei asked, "Is Sun Guizhi's leg really broken?"

"Yes, when I went there, Dr. Huang was also invited."

"Why are these two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fighting?"

"Sun Guizhi took the fine clothes Liu Fengjuan brought from the city and altered them for her grandchildren to wear. She also hid all the food and daily necessities that Liu Fengjuan's family sent her."

"Bah! This old woman is so shameless! How can she be so shameless? Those are all Liu Fengjuan's. She doesn't think that just because Liu Fengjuan married Zhang Yang, Liu Fengjuan's things should be hers, right?"

Zhang Hongmei obviously guessed right.

"That's what she said. Liu Fengjuan was so angry that she started fighting with her."

"Why do I feel like Liu Fengjuan can't beat Sun Guizhi with her physique? Did Liu Fengjuan really break her leg? How is Liu Fengjuan?"

"When she tried to strangle Liu Fengjuan, she pushed her, causing her to fall and break her leg... Liu Fengjuan was even worse off than Sun Guizhi. She was beaten by Sun Guizhi and her two sisters-in-law until her body was covered in blood and her face was scratched. She lay there unable to get up."

"What's Zhang Yang's attitude?"

"He stood there like a wooden stake. I had to ask him to carry his wife to the bed and let her lie down."

"Is Sun Guizhi still being aggressive?"

"Well, she said she would beat Liu Fengjuan to death as soon as her leg healed. She also said she would confiscate all her things and not give her food if she didn't work hard and earn work points."

"What a sin! You need to criticize and educate this kind of person. She's trying to drive me to death."

Having said that, both of them fell silent.

It was not until a long time later that Zhang Hongmei said with fear: "Fortunately, my daughter didn't marry into Jiang Wei's family. I think Li Cuihua is also a person like Sun Guizhi. My daughter hasn't even married yet, but she is already calculating her dowry. If she really married, who knows how much grievances she would have suffered, especially with Jiang Wei being that kind of person."

Xu Kui hummed.

The two of them stopped talking again.

Xu Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart that there were so many evil mothers-in-law in this era.

……

The next day, Liu Fengjuan's gossip completely overshadowed Xu Yu's gossip, and all kinds of gossip were said.

Xu Yu did not choose to see Liu Fengjuan at this time, but still went to see Dr. Huang.

Until evening, the man she was waiting for did not come.

Two days later, Xu Yu asked Xu Jianhua to give Ayong a note.

Brother Xu said he wanted to go to town today.

Xu Yu also wanted to visit the town here, so he said he wanted to go with them.

It takes more than half an hour to walk from Hongxing Village to the town.

But Brother Xu rides a bicycle.

They already had a bicycle at home, and with the one they brought back from Jiang Wei's house that day, they now have two.

Second Brother Xu asked Xu Yu to sit in the back seat of the car.

Xu Yu wanted to ride it herself, but she underestimated the height of the 28-inch bicycle and how uneven the field paths were in those days.

As soon as she rode out, she almost fell off the edge of the field. Fortunately, Brother Xu was worried about her and followed her to help her.

Later she could only sit obediently in the back seat of the car.

When she got to the town, she felt her butt was broken into pieces.

Second Brother Xu was going to the Agricultural Machinery Station to do some work, so he asked Xu Yu if he wanted to go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative first: "Go ahead and have a look. If you see anything you like, I'll come out and buy it for you later."

Xu Yu was amused by his ostentatious tone and agreed.

This place is indeed a remote area in the south. Even in the town, at first glance, one can only describe it as poor.

The supply and marketing cooperative was very small. Apart from the most basic commodities, the most expensive items sold here were probably bicycles and sewing machines. There was not even a television.

When Xu Yu went in, there was no one else inside except two young women and the salesperson.

One of the women was obviously pregnant.

They were choosing fabrics while discussing the baby in the pregnant woman's belly.

Xu Yu didn't care, but she soon discovered that they would glance at her from time to time, and then pretend to look at the fabric carefully when she looked over.

Especially that pregnant woman, the way he looked at her was full of scrutiny, and there was even a hint of...unclear complexity?

Xu Yu: “…”

She was famous for getting divorced and remarrying on her wedding day, so it was normal for everyone to recognize her and sympathize with her, but why did this pregnant woman look at her so strangely?

Xu Yu didn't care too much. After walking around the supply and marketing cooperative, she didn't see anything she wanted, so she planned to go out and look somewhere else.

This town is basically made up of adobe and wooden houses. Since private business is not allowed yet, there are basically no people anywhere except the supply and marketing cooperatives and health centers at this time.

Xu Yu just strolled around the town and finished his tour of the entire town.

As she was walking back and just near the clinic, she suddenly saw a familiar tall and straight figure.

Xu Yu was delighted and was about to call him.

But at this moment, two frightened screams suddenly came from the front of the man.

Then came a familiar yet trembling voice: "Jiang... Jiang Yi."

Jiang Yi stopped and did not respond to her. Instead, he turned the scarred side of his face away, then turned his body, obviously preparing to walk in the opposite direction.

But when he turned around, he met Xu Yu's bright, fiery eyes head-on.
