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

When they were about to reach Hongxing Village, Xu Jianping separated from the two.

Jiang Yi sent Xu Yu directly to Dr. Huang.

At this time, Doctor Huang had returned. He looked coldly at the two people who had just gotten off their bicycles and asked Xu Yu unhappily, "Is this how you read medical books?"

Xu Yu explained obediently: "Brother Yi and I went to the town to deal with a very important matter, but there is still time, I will continue watching immediately."

Doctor Huang wasn't buying it at all: "I think you shouldn't come to see me anymore. You can't possibly memorize an entire medical book in such a short time. And don't even think about getting any other medicine from me in the future."

After saying that, he walked into the house with his hands behind his back.

After entering, he slammed the door shut.

Xu Yu looked at the closed door without caring. He went straight to get the medical book placed there and said to Jiang Yi, "Brother Yi, it's getting late. You should go back first. Didn't you say you'll leave before dawn tomorrow? Go back and pack your luggage properly."

Jiang Yi glanced at the closed door, then looked at her and asked, "What medicine do you want?"

Xu Yu talked to him about it.

Jiang Yi said, "I have some medicinal wine. I'll bring some to you tomorrow morning."

Xu Yu also glanced at the closed door and deliberately said loudly: "Don't let Grandpa Huang hear this. I will definitely be able to get the medicine from him when the time comes. He is an old man with a cold face but a kind heart."

Suddenly, a heavy hum was heard from inside the room.

Xu Yu laughed softly, like a little fox.

Jiang Yi looked at her smiling face, and his eyes softened unconsciously.

He asked her, "What do you want? I'll bring it back to you when the time comes."

Xu Yu thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "You probably don't have much time to buy things when you're on business. My second brother and I can go to the county town to buy them during the National Day holiday."

Jiang Yi was about to say something when Xu Yu suddenly grabbed his hand and said with a smile, "When you come back, take me into the mountains to have a look. I want to see what kind of herbs there are, but Grandpa Huang won't take me."

When Jiang Yi heard this, his expression suddenly became serious: "It's very dangerous in the mountains. Doctor Huang was right not to take you there. You must not go alone."

Xu Yu nodded: "I know, so I want you to take me there."

Then he asked eagerly, "Will you take me there?"

Jiang Yi was defeated by her eyes, nodded and said "hmm".

Xu Yu was happy. Suddenly, she hugged him quickly, then let go and said happily, "Brother Yi, go and come back early. I will miss you."

Jiang Yi looked at her deeply for a few seconds, hummed, then turned and left.

Xu Yu didn't notice his red ears.

Only after she watched him ride away on his bicycle did she look away and turn back.

When she turned around, she saw Dr. Huang standing by the door staring at her.

Doctor Huang's expression was a bit hard to describe, and he looked like he couldn't stand it: "You are a little girl, can you not be so unrestrained? Do you have any shame?"

Xu Yu grinned at him, not shy at all, saying, "How could I be so unrestrained? I just hugged Brother Yi and said I'd miss him. You old man are such an antique."

Dr. Huang was so angry that he was fuming.

Xu Yu was busy reading the medical book, and smiled at him obediently.

Doctor Huang: “…”

Sometimes I really want to give this annoying girl a good beating!

……

When it was getting dark, Xu Yu saw that no one came to pick her up, so she pestered Dr. Huang for a small bottle of medicinal wine and went home.

Along the way, she met many people who were leaving work. When they saw her, they couldn't help but ask her if she really wanted to marry Jiang Yi and whether she knew about the person the matchmaker had introduced to her yesterday.

Xu Yu answered.

Rural people basically don't go to the town unless necessary, and they don't have much contact with the educated youth. No one knows what Zhou Jianguo said when he returned.

So after Xu Yu walked over, some people couldn't help but talk about her again.

They say that marrying a chef is great because you won't have to worry about food and drink in the future, and it's better than marrying a man who doesn't know how long he will live and can't have children.

Xu Yu definitely didn't hear these words.

When Xu Yu returned home, Zhang Hongmei, who had come home early from work to do housework and cook, was a little surprised: "Why didn't your second brother come to pick you up?"

Xu Yu guessed that his second brother must not dare to come back early, fearing that he would be exposed if asked, so he said: "Second brother must be busy. I saw that he didn't come to pick me up, so I came back on my own."

Then he added, "You don't need to pick me up anymore. It's just this close, I can go there and come back by myself."

Zhang Hongmei now felt relieved about her and continued to work.

Xu Yu showed her the medicinal wine in his hand: "This is the medicinal wine I asked Grandpa Huang for. I will use it to massage your waist tonight."

Zhang Hongmei must be very happy about her daughter's thoughtfulness, and she feels more motivated to work.

Xu Yu put the medicinal wine aside and went to help her.

Until Xu Xiaodi came back from school and came to the kitchen to find her.

Xu Yu was making a fire and Zhang Hongmei was cutting vegetables beside him.

There is sweet potato rice cooking in the pot, which is emitting a sweet aroma.

Xu Xiaodi called Zhang Hongmei, "Mom."

Then he walked to Xu Yu, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Sister, I have something to tell you."

Xu Yu knew that he wanted to talk about Jiang Wei and the others, so he said, "Go do your homework first. I'll come find you when the meal is ready."

Brother Xu nodded and went out directly.

It was impossible to eat meat every meal in this era. Even at the Xu family, we could only eat meat every few days.

So the dishes in the evening are relatively simple, a pumpkin soup, a braised winter melon, a pounded eggplant with peppers, and a pickled vegetable make up a meal.

The last of the pumpkin soup was already cooking in the pot, so Zhang Hongmei asked Xu Yu to leave.

Xu Xiaodi had already finished his homework and was waiting for Xu Yu. When he saw her coming out of the kitchen, he immediately pulled her to a place where Zhang Hongmei couldn't hear him. Even though he lowered his voice, he couldn't hide his gloating:

"Sister, I heard from Yongzi that the bad guy dug up his foot while digging in the dirt yesterday. This morning, the bad guy's mother was there crying and cursing, saying that she had raised a useless piece of trash."

Then he commented: "It's a good thing you divorced him. You definitely shouldn't keep a piece of trash like that."

Xu Yu was amused by this, but still agreed: "You're right, what is this kind of trash doing here?"

Xu Xiaodi also laughed and said, "Brother Jiang is the best. He is a hero, can work hard, and can drink without getting drunk."

Xu Yu burst out laughing.

At this time, the voices of grandparents came from outside the door, and the two immediately stopped talking about this topic.

When grandpa and grandma entered the yard, they both called out to them at the same time.

Grandpa and grandma responded to the two with a smile.

Next, Xu Yu didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that the two old men looked at her in a strange way.

However, when Xu Kui and Xu Jianping came back, everyone's attention was focused on the limping Xu Jianping.

When Xu Jianping said that a pig ran out of the pigpen in the afternoon and he went to chase it and accidentally fell several times, Zhang Hongmei and the two elders were very distressed.

Only Xu Kui had a gloomy face throughout the whole process.

Xu Yu suspected that he already knew the real reason.

Sure enough, after dinner, Brother Xu secretly told Xu Yu: "Dad already knows the reason for my injury, and he asked me not to tell anyone else."

Xu Yu asked, "Did you tell Dad that I've been to town?"

Second Brother Xu shook his head. "No, I just said it was Brother Jiang who helped me, and I told him about Zhou Jianguo's fate. He said that the matter was over and he didn't want to mention it in front of you, so he didn't know you knew about it, and you pretended not to know about it in the future."

Xu Yu nodded.

In the evening, everyone gathered in the courtyard to chat, and Xu Yu gave Zhang Hongmei a massage in their bedroom.

Zhang Hongmei lay on the bed. At first, she didn't really believe that Xu Yu could give a massage. But when Xu Yu really gave her a massage and made her feel more and more comfortable, she had to believe that Xu Yu really had some talent for medicine.

Xu Yu also brainwashed her by saying that Dr. Huang praised her for learning quickly and gave her medical books to read.

The next day, Zhang Hongmei packed a bag of peanuts from her home and the wild kiwis that Jiang Yi brought and asked Xu Yu to take it to Dr. Huang as a thank you.

Originally Xu Yu said that she didn't need anyone to send her there, but she didn't expect her grandparents to insist on sending her there.
