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

The Xu family then realized that Jiang Yi went out during the National Day to meet a group of old comrades. He happened to mention that he wanted to build a house, and his old comrades said that they would come to help when the time comes.

Jiang Yi said, "I'll get everything ready, and they'll be here soon."

In this case, there is no need for Xu Kui and Zhang Hongmei to come and help.

But Xu Jianping will definitely come to help.

After all, as an older brother, he certainly hopes to see his sister's brick house built.

This matter is so confirmed.

Then the two families discussed the bride price.

The most people in this town would give was two hundred yuan plus three transfers, but the Jiang family was prepared to give one thousand yuan plus three transfers.

Everyone in the Xu family was shocked.

Xu Kui and Zhang Hongmei hurriedly said that there was no need to take so much.

Yang Wenhui said, "Here's what we've planned. You can keep the 600 yuan as Xiaoyi's thank you for raising Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu can bring the remaining 400 yuan over. We'll give her this money along with Xiaoyi's savings. Then everyone will see that we keep our word and that the betrothal gift is much larger than what his second uncle's family gave."

They all knew that the Jiang family took so much betrothal gifts because they wanted to let the Xu family know that Jiang Yi, apart from being infertile, could make Xu Yu live a good life.

The Xu family was speechless.

After everything was settled, everyone decided on the date for the two young people's engagement.

It was finally scheduled for the 20th of this month.

There are still 11 days left, which is just enough time to get ready.

After the discussion, the Xu family took a special look around the Jiang family's house.

In addition to the old house and two foundations, they also have a yard at the back. The backyard is against a mountain wall that is more than two zhang high (one zhang = 3.33 meters). The mountain wall is made entirely of hard stones, which they flattened straight to form a natural wall. Several stone and thatched houses were built against the mountain wall.

The Xu family didn't think anything of it, but Xu Yu was very satisfied after seeing it.

While others were talking, she quietly moved to Jiang Yi's side and said to him, "Brother Yi, your backyard is so wide, I like it."

Jiang Yi tilted his head and looked into her sparkling eyes.

Xu Yu asked him, "Before building a house, do you draw a blueprint?"

Jiang Yi thought for a moment before he nodded.

It was obvious that he had not considered drawing a design before, and he made the decision on the spur of the moment only after Xu Yu asked him about it.

When the time comes, he will ask his comrades if anyone can draw, otherwise he will find someone to teach him.

Xu Yu didn't know what he was thinking, and was even more satisfied. He smiled and said, "Then show me when you're done."

Jiang Yi: "Okay."

……

The Xu family had dinner at Jiang Yi's house before returning home.

The three members of the Jiang family sent them to the village entrance.

Even though it was getting dark, there were obviously more people watching the fun along the way than in the morning.

After a group of people walked over, everyone started talking again:

"It seems that this marriage is really settled, otherwise the Xu family would not have stayed at Jiang Qingyun's house until dinner."

"I don't know when they will get engaged. Then we can see how much the Jiang Qingyun family will give to the Xu family for the engagement gift."

"How much is the engagement ceremony? The most important thing is how much betrothal gifts their family will give to the Xu family."

"Didn't Yang Wenhui say before that she would give more than what she gave to the second brother's family? It will definitely not be less when the time comes."

"Jiang Qingyun's family only has one son, Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi served in the army for many years and only returned injured, so he must have a lot of money. From this point of view, Jiang Yi is not only in poor health and cannot have children, but also has a scary scar on his face. If you marry him, you should be able to eat meat every meal. Jiang Yi often goes to the mountains to catch pheasants and rabbits. Not to mention, the Xu family will definitely eat meat regularly."

"It seems that the daughter of the He family who is unwilling to marry Jiang Yi is not so lucky~"

"If this kind of blessing is given to your family, do you dare to accept it? The daughter of the He family is smart. She knows what kind of person to marry for the rest of her life. She is already several months pregnant, and it is said that it is a son. Her future blessing will definitely be better than that of the daughter of the Xu family."

"Indeed... Do you think the Xu family's daughter deliberately married Jiang Yi to avenge Jiang Wei?"

"I think so. Just look at Jiang Yi's face. Not only are the little girls scared, but who would be scared if we saw him?"

"Then she is cruel and courageous enough."

"Indeed! Hey? Has anyone seen Jiang Wei today?"

"No, I only heard that when the Xu family came over, Li Cuihua tried to stop them halfway, but was blocked by two boys from the Xu family."

"I heard that the Xu family's daughter suddenly became much whiter and more beautiful. Is it true?"

"It's true. I went to see it and almost didn't recognize it."

"Is he as good-looking as Xue Zhiqing?"

"Prettier than Xue Zhiqing."

……

"Yunyan, don't listen to what they say. Xu Yu's face is so dark and rough, how could it possibly compare to yours?"

In a relatively secluded haystack in the valley, Jiang Wei was hugging Xue Yunyan and kissing her.

Jiang Wei felt that he was poisoned by Xue Yunyan. Ever since he had sex with her, he wanted to stick with her every day.

Every time he touched her smooth skin, he felt excited.

I wish I could rub her into my heart.

Xue Yunyan usually cooperated and made him feel extremely happy, but tonight Xue Yunyan was obviously not in a good mood.

Thinking about how everyone had compared her to her since Xu Yu came to Shangping Village in the morning, and how they said Xu Yu was not only whiter, but also much more beautiful than her, she felt uncomfortable.

Especially since the Xu and Jiang families were discussing their engagement today, she felt even more uncomfortable.

Why can that woman go to the man's house openly to discuss engagement and marriage, but she can only date Jiang Wei at night and cannot even set foot in Jiang Wei's house?

She also wanted to be married officially and didn't want to be in secret with him all the time.

Thinking of this, she directly blocked Jiang Wei's mouth and said angrily, "An ugly woman like Xu Yu can go to your house to discuss engagement and marriage with that ugly man. I don't have any family here, so you can skip the engagement, but you must marry me back in a formal way."

Jiang Wei's mouth was blocked, and he immediately kissed her calloused hand several times, panting slightly as he assured her, "Yunyan, don't worry, I will not only marry you in a formal ceremony, but also give you the proper three transfers, and buy you beautiful clothes and jewelry."

"In addition to these gifts, I will also build you a few large brick houses. We can have a bunch of kids. With our intelligence, our kids will definitely be very smart. When the time comes, we will train them all to become college students."

Although Xue Yunyan was a little excited when she imagined that scene, she was not so stupid as to really believe that they had the ability to do so given their current situation.

She patted his lean chest and said dissatisfiedly, "Don't promise me anything. If you really had that ability, I wouldn't have to date you only at night for so long."

"What I said is true."

Jiang Wei took her hand and placed it on his chest, stroking it. He breathed heavily with a look of enjoyment and told her his plan:

"I've already found Li Puppy today, and he's agreed to take me to make money. Don't worry, I'll make a lot of money soon. As long as I have money, my family won't be able to do anything to us. If they want to follow me and eat meat, they can only accept you."

Xue Yunyan was not only not happy after hearing this, but also frowned: "This Li scoundrel is not a good person. If you cooperate with him, what will you do if he plays tricks on you and robs you of your own money?"

Jiang Wei was very confident: "I have observed this person for a long time. I have a way to make him cooperate with me obediently and not dare to play tricks. Now all you have to do is wait for me to make a lot of money and marry you."

Xue Yunyan was still a little worried.

Jiang Wei hugged her tightly and whispered his plan in her ear.

Only then did Xue Yunyan realize that Jiang Wei also had a backup plan, and it was particularly ruthless.

Thinking that since she was going to make money in the black market, if she was not ruthless she would be eaten up by others without leaving a bone, she felt that she had a good eye and had not made a mistake in choosing the right person.

So she put her arms around his neck and kissed him directly.

Passion is on stage here...

the other side.

He Yaqin, who married into the Li family, also heard the villagers' discussions.

Li Changgui looked at his wife who was sitting at the head of the bed, sewing clothes for their children under the kerosene lamp, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

He Yaqin sensed his uneasiness, so she looked up at this honest and somewhat foolish man and said, "Just listen to what others say. I told you, I don't have the courage to face his face all the time, and I don't want to ruin the rest of my life. I married you because I want to live a good life with you."

Li Changgui scratched his head. In fact, he had always wanted to ask her if she liked him a little bit, but he didn't dare to ask. He always felt that it was God's blessing that he could marry her.

Now that Yaqin has chosen him and conceived a son for him, what else can he be dissatisfied with?

So he promised He Yaqin: "Yaqin, I will treat you well for the rest of my life."

He Yaqin looked at the silly man in front of her and comforted herself in her heart: Although he looks ordinary and has little ability, he treats her well and listens to her in everything. He is much better than the man who is injured, disfigured and has no warmth at all.

Let’s just live our lives like this!
