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

When the grandparents saw Jiang Yi coming back with his daughter-in-law, their heartbeats, which had calmed down, started beating again.

They didn't expect that Jiang Yi hadn't left yet. When they saw him coming, they immediately shrank their necks and stood in the corner, not daring to say a word.

As soon as Zhang Hongmei saw their expressions, she knew they were afraid of Jiang Yi. Although her parents-in-law usually acted very fierce outside, they would be scared like quails when they met someone who looked more fierce and evil than them, let alone someone like Jiang Yi who was so imposing and had a scar on his face.

She said to them, "Mom and Dad, go boil some water first. I'll wash up and then come and cook."

The two of them stared at Jiang Yi. In the afternoon, they went to ask Zhu Banxian, and Zhu Banxian also said that there was nothing they could do. So they were even more scared when they saw Jiang Yi. After hearing what their daughter-in-law said, the two of them made a few "oh" sounds, turned around and strode towards the kitchen.

Xu Yu looked at his grandparents who were running very fast and said to Jiang Yi, "Brother Yi, don't mind it. Come to my house more often and grandparents will get used to it."

Jiang Yi glanced at her.

Zhang Hongmei also glanced at her.

Zhang Hongmei asked Xu Yu to take Jiang Yi to the water tank to wash first.

Although they washed their hands with water from the fields when they came back, it was still not as clean as the water at home.

Xu Yu responded and took Jiang Yi to the water tank.

Next to the water tank was a washstand with a washbasin on it. Xu Yu scooped two scoops of water into the basin with a ladle, then took out her washcloth and handed it to him: "Brother Yi, wash your face with my washcloth."

In the Xu family, only Xu Yu had her own face washcloth, and it was a light-colored one. Jiang Yi washed his face with water in both hands, glanced at the face washcloth in her hand, and shook his head: "No need."

He was afraid of getting her handkerchief dirty.

Then he wiped his face with his sleeve.

At this time, Zhang Hongmei had just finished looking at the things Jiang Yi brought over. She walked over with a look of surprise and said, "Xiao Jiang, why did you bring so many things?"

Even if it's his first time visiting, he doesn't need to bring so many things!

Even when people are getting engaged, the man can’t bring so many things!

Jiang Yi said sternly, "Not much. It's my first visit, so I should."

After hearing this, Zhang Hongmei suddenly stopped talking, but judging from her expression, she was obviously very satisfied with what she heard.

Xu Yu couldn't help laughing.

It turns out this man can still talk!

Zhang Hongmei glanced at her daughter and said to her, "Xiaoyu, take Xiaojiang to the main hall to sit and rest. I'll go cook."

Xu Yu hurriedly said, "Mom, I'll go cook. You go and take a rest."

Zhang Hongmei wanted to say that you are not a good cook, but in the end, not wanting to discourage her daughter, she said, "No, I cook quickly. Let's eat early tonight."

Besides, she still has to talk to her parents-in-law.

After saying that, he walked into the kitchen.

Xu Yu turned his head and looked at Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi happened to be looking at her.

Xu Yu said: "I usually don't have the opportunity to cook at home."

Jiang Yi hummed, then glanced around their yard. Seeing a pile of unchopped firewood nearby, he asked, "Where's the axe?"

Xu Yu followed his gaze with a puzzled look on his face. After understanding what he meant, he said to him, "You helped with the work for so long this afternoon. Take a break."

"Not tired." Jiang Yi: "I want to do it."

Xu Yu stared at his face closely. Seeing that he was staring at the pile of firewood, he seemed to understand something and asked deliberately with a smirk, "Brother Yi, are you nervous?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yi turned his face away a little.

Xu Yu's smile deepened, and he went straight to get the axe and gave it to him.

Jiang Yi took off his coat again and asked Xu Yu to put it on the bench for him. Then he took the tiger head and went to chop firewood.

Xu Yu just stood there and watched him chop.

This man has so much strength. He has just been digging sweet potatoes for a few hours and now he is chopping wood without any sign of tiredness or slowing down.

Xu Yu silently swallowed his saliva at his powerful muscle strength.

Zhang Hongmei, who heard the noise, hurried out to see what was going on.

Even my grandparents were standing at the kitchen door looking over.

When Zhang Hongmei saw Jiang Yi chopping wood, she quickly took two steps to stop him: "Xiao Jiang, why are you chopping wood? Stop, stop! Didn't I tell you to take a rest?"

When she walked over to Xu Yu, she said to her, "Xiao Yu, didn't I ask you to take Xiao Jiang to the main hall to sit and rest? You didn't even stop him from chopping wood."

Xu Yu said to her, "Mom, Brother Yi said he was a little nervous about coming to our house for the first time, but he felt better after finding something to do."

Zhang Hongmei glared at her daughter, feeling that she was lying with her eyes open. Jiang Yi's face, which rarely smiled, showed no sign of nervousness.

Zhang Hongmei walked towards Jiang Yi again, trying to snatch the axe.

How could you ask a man to do so much heavy work the first time he comes to your house!

"Xiao Jiang, please stop chopping. Leave these for Jianping to chop when he comes back."

When she approached, Jiang Yi suddenly stopped and looked at her with his intimidating eyes. When Zhang Hongmei subconsciously stopped, he said, "Aunt Zhang, go and do your work."

After saying that, he continued chopping wood.

Zhang Hongmei was about to speak when Xu Yu came over, took her arm, and said, "Mom, just let Brother Yi chop wood."

Then he deliberately leaned in her ear and said, "We have to let him perform. When the time comes, everyone will definitely compare him with Jiang Wei. We have to let everyone know that the son-in-law I have chosen for you is better than Jiang Wei in every way."

As a traditional rural woman, Zhang Hongmei is also vain. Jiang Wei and Zhou Jianguo today made her very angry. She knew that many people were gossiping about her daughter behind her back.

Apart from the scary scar on his face, Jiang Yi is indeed better than all of them.

After a moment's silence, she said, "Then just watch him and chop a little wood. Don't let him chop all the time."

This statement clearly agreed with Xu Yu's words.

Xu Yu nodded at her with his eyes curved: "Okay."

Zhang Hongmei said to Jiang Yi again, "Xiao Jiang, you don't need to chop too much wood. Just leave the rest for Jianping to chop later."

Jiang Yi just nodded and kept moving his hands.

Zhang Hongmei was originally cooking sugar-water eggs for Jiang Yi. After giving him instructions, she went back to the kitchen.

Not long after, she brought out a bowl of sugar-water eggs: "Xiao Jiang, put it aside and have a bowl of sugar water."

Xu Yu glanced at the eggs in the bowl.

Their family is large, and the eggs their hens lay are not enough for everyone to eat, so Zhang Hongmei usually gives one egg to herself and her younger brother every day, and cooks one for everyone in the family every two days in the morning.

There are four eggs in this bowl, which shows how obvious her attitude towards Jiang Yi has changed.

Jiang Yi paused and took the bowl and said, "I don't want to eat eggs, just some sugar water will do."

"You must eat it. This is cooked for you. Eat the eggs quickly so I can make dinner."

Jiang Yi looked at Xu Yu. Even though she didn't say anything, Xu Yu could tell that he was asking her to eat something too.

Xu Yu shook his head at him and said with a smile, "Brother Jiang, you can eat it. We ate so many eggs at your house today. I've had enough."

Jiang Yi pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then said to Zhang Hongmei, "Leave two for Brother Xiaoyu."

Zhang Hongmei: "No, there's more at home. Besides, you brought so much today, are you afraid he won't have anything to eat? Eat it quickly, or I'll be angry."

Jiang Yi had no choice but to take it and eat the sugar-coated egg.

After eating, he wanted to wash the dishes himself, but was stopped by Zhang Hongmei.

Zhang Hongmei snatched the bowl from his hand and said, "Stop chopping wood and go take a rest."

After saying that, he took the bowl and walked towards the kitchen.

Jiang Yi stood there, obviously a little at a loss.

Xu Yu looked at him like this, and said with a suppressed smile: "Brother Yi, you have to get used to it. My mother can be very strong sometimes."

Jiang Yi looked at her deeply, then picked up the axe and continued chopping wood.

No matter how much Zhang Hongmei asked him to stop, he did not stop.

Xu Yu watched him chop for a while, then went over and stacked the firewood he had chopped.

At this time, women from several other families also came back one after another.

When they saw Jiang Yi chopping a large pile of firewood, their expressions were extremely interesting.

But they didn't dare say anything in front of me, so they just glanced at each other and went back.

As for what they were talking about in private, Xu Yu couldn't hear it anyway.

Xu Yu picked up some chopped firewood when Zhang Hongmei called her from the kitchen, asking her to go to the field and pick some peppers.

Xu Yu responded and walked towards the private plot not far away.

Later, Zhang Hongmei asked her to see if her brother had returned, but Xu Yu wanted to pick the peppers quickly and walked away quickly, so she didn't hear this.
