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

After dinner, Dr. Huang left first.

The baskets and backpacks that Jiang Yi brought have been packed out.

Xu Yu was a little reluctant to let him go, so he said to him: "Brother Yi, I will go to your house to see it on the day the bricks and tiles are delivered."

Xu Jianping, who was standing nearby, said hurriedly, "My sister and I will go together then."

Xu Jianhua, who was originally talking to Dingdang, also said hurriedly: "I want to go too."

Zhang Hongmei told him to go to bed: "If you don't sleep now, you will definitely not be able to get up tomorrow morning."

Xu Jianhua said to Zhang Hongmei, "Mom, I want to go to Brother Jiang's house that day too."

Zhang Hongmei: "You want to study? How do you get there?"

"I can go there with Yongzi and the others after school, and come back with my second brother and sister in the evening."

Zhang Hongmei didn't even bother to tell him whether to go or not, but threatened him: "If you don't go to bed, you won't be allowed to go anywhere later."

"I'll go to bed right away." Xu Xiaodi said as he ran into the house with a smile.

After running a few steps, he stopped and turned to Dingdang who was squatting there and said, "Dingdang, I will come to see you in a few days."

Dingdang whimpered twice in response.

Brother Xu went in contentedly.

Xu Yu looked at the little figure who came in and couldn't help but smile and said to Jiang Yi: "It seems that we will have to wait until your brother finishes school before we go to your house."

Jiang Yi: "Okay."

Then he added: "Come over early when the time comes."

Xu Yu glanced at Xu Jianping.

Xu Jianping immediately said, "I'll finish my work this morning and come over with my sister after lunch."

Jiang Yi nodded, said something to the elders, and left.

Looking at the departing figure, Xu Yu said behind him: "Brother Yi, you and Dingdang should walk slowly on the way back."

Jiang Yi: "Okay."

Dingdang: "Woof!"

It wasn't until the figures of the man and the dog disappeared in the moonlight that Xu Jianping appeared before Xu Yu's eyes and teased her deliberately, "Sister, come back to your senses."

Xu Yu withdrew her gaze, and Zhang Hongmei told her to go take a shower and go to bed.

"You'll see if your legs hurt tomorrow after running in the mountains for so long."

Xu Yu smiled at them: "Even if my legs hurt, it's worth it."

Then he pointed to the medicinal herbs that almost filled the entire yard and said, "We are amazing today, we have collected so many herbs. When Brother Yi's comrades come in a few days, we will go into the mountains again and collect more herbs. I feel like I am one step closer to becoming a miracle doctor."

This made several people laugh.

Xu Jianping continued politely, "Sister, when you become a miracle doctor, please don't forget me, your second brother. I don't ask for much. Just buy me some meat to make braised pork more often."

Xu Yu said proudly: "No problem."

Zhang Hongmei scolded with a smile, "Stop talking big here, you brothers and sisters. Go wash up and go to bed. Don't you see how late it is?"

Xu Yu went to wash up and go to bed.

As expected, she got up late the next day. When she got up, everyone except her grandparents had already left.

After Xu Yu finished eating the meal left for her, she sorted the herbs in the yard carefully.

Grandpa sat in the corner helping her weave the drying tray, and grandma was also doing handicrafts. She was preparing to make a cage for the two rabbits.

Grandma said, "These rabbits are a male and a female. When they grow up, we can let them have more pups. Then we will have more rabbit meat than we can eat."

Grandpa said, "Don't make the gap in the cage too big, otherwise the rabbit will escape. It's impossible to catch a wild rabbit once it escapes."

Grandma: “I know.”

Then he asked Xu Yu: "Xiao Yu, how did Xiao Jiang catch these two little rabbits?"

Xu Yu said, "Two little rabbits also fell into the trap made by Brother Yi and were caught by him."

"Okay, okay, Xiao Jiang made a really good trap. It can catch both big and small rabbits. Those two rabbits can be made into cured rabbit meat for you to eat when you get engaged to him."

When Xu Yu and Jiang Yi got engaged, all of Xu Yu's relatives came over for dinner. With two rabbits, they could add an extra meat dish, and when they told others about it, their third son's family would also be proud.

Xu Yu smiled and didn't care when to eat the rabbit meat.

She just felt that she wanted to be with Brother Yi more and more.

I don't know what he did at home today.

Although he missed Jiang Yi very much, Xu Yu was also busy.

Not only does she have to dry the herbs, but she also has to cut some of them while they are fresh.

After Xu Jianhua and his friends came home from school, she said to the children squatting by the rabbit cage feeding the rabbits, "If you have finished your homework, go to the foot of the mountain and help me pick wild chrysanthemums. I will give you candy when you bring them back."

Xu Jianhua has been eating a lot of sweets recently. Although sweets are not very attractive to him anymore, he is definitely happy to do what his sister asks him to do.

When the other children heard that there would be candy, their eyes lit up.

A few of them went back to get sacks or backpacks and happily went to help Xu Yu pick wild chrysanthemums.

A group of children came back at dinner time. Xu Yu looked at the wild chrysanthemums that had spread across most of the yard at another uncle's house and smiled as he gave each of them two candies.

The children were so happy when they got the candies.

They also asked if they could still pick wild chrysanthemums tomorrow.

Xu Yu smiled and said, "I won't pick them tomorrow."

A look of disappointment appeared on everyone's face.

Xu Yu added, "Go pick a few more tomorrow."

In this era, there are herbs on the roadside and on the mountains. Children are energetic, so Xu Yu can save a lot of effort by asking them to help.

She has always known the principle of making the best use of people.

The children immediately clapped their hands happily: "Great!"

The adults smiled as they watched Xu Yu assign tasks to them, and said nothing.

In the evening, everyone gathered in the courtyard to chat.

Several cousins ​​of the same age and Xu Yu gossiped about the Zhang family and Liu Fengjuan.

"After Liu Fengjuan returned, Sun Guizhi didn't even curse at her. Even her two sisters-in-law didn't bother her."

"I also saw Zhang Yang and Liu Fengjuan on the slope today. While they were working, Zhang Yang even let Liu Fengjuan rest under the shade of a tree."

A cousin commented: "So girls still have to be pretty to make men soften their hearts. I saw them today, and I think Liu Fengjuan looks just as pretty as when she first came to our Red Star Village."

"Now Zhang Yang and Liu Fengjuan will have a good life."

"That's on top of the Zhang family not having any more ideas about Liu Fengjuan's things, right?"

……

Xu Yu listened quietly. Although she didn't know what Liu Fengjuan's specific plan was, she could guess that the Zhang family would definitely be in trouble in the near future.

She no longer cares about this matter.

Because other people were talking about Jiang Yi's family building a house.

Jiang Yi's family planned to build five brick and tile houses directly, and the news had spread to the surrounding villages.

As Xu Yu's uncles, they were very happy to hear everyone's envy.

But along with these voices of envy, there are also a lot of sour words.

No one wanted Xu Yu to hear it.

One of the aunts said, "Xiaoyu, you should stay home and prepare well. It just so happens that your fifth aunt will be doing less work these days, so she and the third aunt will help you make clothes. Tell them what kind of clothes you like."

Aunt Wu replied, "Yes, I have drawn some patterns for the clothes these past two nights. I will show them to you tomorrow, and then we will start making them."

Xu Yu had been at home all day turning over, drying, and cutting herbs, and indeed hadn't heard any rumors, so he smiled and replied, "Okay."

But there were too many rumors, and they always reached Xu Yu's ears. On the day when the bricks and tiles were delivered to Jiang Yi's house, Xu Yu and Xu Jianping were on their way to Jiang Yi's house. Coincidentally, when they just reached the boundary of Shangping Village, they heard the discussion of people on the other side of the slope:

"Mr. Jiang must have been willing to build five brick houses to compensate her."

"It's useless to build a beautiful house. If you can't have children, the house will belong to the other two families."

"Why are you so pessimistic? She'll be a widow sooner or later, and we'll see if she can still smile."

"A village chief's daughter married Jiang Wei's cousin just to gamble. This girl is not very smart."

"I can't understand how she dared to do that. If she suddenly opened her eyes in the middle of the night and saw that scar, she would be scared to death."

"She'll definitely regret it on the day she gets engaged!"
