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

The two elders came over quickly.

When facing Yang Wenhui, the two were obviously not as timid as they were with Jiang Yi, especially when they came over, they only called Xu Yu.

"Little fish."

Before Xu Yu could speak, Yang Wenhui immediately stood in front of her, blocking her way and asked the two elders rudely, "What do you want to do?"

The old lady yelled unhappily, "We didn't ask you to come. Xiaoyu is already engaged to Xiaoyi and is our granddaughter-in-law. Can't we just come and talk to her?"

"You'll have to ask your grandson if that's okay." Yang Wenhui wasn't buying it at all. "If you want to talk to her, fine. Come with us to my house and talk."

The old lady's face looked a little bad, and she pushed the old man directly.

The old man immediately frowned and said to Yang Wenhui in a teaching tone, "What nonsense! As a mother-in-law, you don't even know how to set a good example in front of your daughter-in-law. If the news gets out, people will say that you, the daughter-in-law, have corrupted my granddaughter-in-law and made her disrespect her elders."

Yang Wenhui was so angry that she laughed.

Xu Yu was also amused by the old man's words.

Although the original owner had only seen Jiang Wei a few times during the three months he was with her, these two seemed to want to tell the original owner the rules every time, intentionally or unintentionally.

The original owner was careless and simply chose not to listen if he didn't want to. Especially during the only two or three times he went to Jiang Wei's house, he went back after dinner, and the two elders didn't even have a chance to talk to him about the rules.

These two people are afraid of Brother Yi. They are scared like quails when Brother Yi is around. They definitely don’t dare to come to find her.

Judging from their appearance, they had obviously been observing her movements and came over when they found the opportunity.

Xu Yu pulled Yang Wenhui's clothes and whispered, "Aunt Yang, don't be angry. I'll deal with them."

Yang Wenhui tilted her head and glanced at her.

Xu Yu blinked at her, a sly glint in his eyes.

Yang Wenhui thought about how she had argued with people that day and agreed.

Xu Yu came out and asked, "Grandpa and grandma, what do you want me to do?"

The two elders looked at each other, and a light flashed in their eyes.

The old man stood up and said, "Xiaoyu, you're the village chief's daughter, so you must be the most sensible. Go talk to Xiaoyi. Your marriage is such a big deal, how can you not discuss it with us elders? You also need to let us know about your betrothal gifts and your dowry. Otherwise, when you offer tea, we won't know anything and we'll be laughed at by others."

Xu Yu asked in surprise, "Brother Yi and I offer tea to our parents. What does it have to do with you?"

The old man looked a little bad.

Xu Yu continued, "Besides, our betrothal gifts have been agreed upon long ago. Everyone in the surrounding villages knows about it now. It's impossible that you're the only ones who don't know. As for the dowry, it's up to your parents to give you whatever you want. It's impossible for me to know in advance."

The old man's face darkened, and he said unhappily, "As your grandparents, we have to hear this from others. Do you think this is reasonable? Go and tell Qingyun, Xiaoyi and the others that they are wrong. Let them come and tell us in person!"

Xu Yu: "Why didn't Uncle Jiang and the others tell you? As their parents and grandparents, if they didn't tell you, shouldn't you reflect on whether you've done anything too much to them?"

"Not only do you not reflect on your actions, but you also come to embarrass me, a daughter-in-law who hasn't even married yet. Grandpa and grandma, is your intention to bring unrest to our family after I marry you?"

"You have such evil hearts!"

Yang Wenhui looked at the old man and the old woman with eyes as big as Tongling and faces as black as the bottom of a pot, and she almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

The two elders never thought that Xu Yu would misinterpret their meaning in this way. They were anxious and angry for a moment.

The old man tried hard to control his soaring blood pressure and prepared to have a good talk with Xu Yu, letting her know that her father-in-law and other men's behavior of disrespecting elders would be criticized by everyone behind their backs.

But Xu Yu didn't give him a chance to reason. With an expression of sudden enlightenment, he said, "I know what you mean. Do you want Uncle Jiang and Brother Yi to come and tell you in person about the betrothal gift they discussed with my parents? You're worried that Brother Yi will use all the money for the betrothal gift and won't have enough for the wedding banquet. So you can help out a little when the time comes?"

Seeing the two elders' expressions change drastically, Yang Wenhui couldn't help laughing.

Then, under the fierce glares of the two elders, he said to Xu Yu as if he had remembered something: "Xiaoyu, now that you mention it, I've calculated that after paying the betrothal gifts and buying the three-ring, our family's money is indeed not enough for the wedding banquet. But don't worry, Xiaoyi's second uncle's family still owes us two hundred yuan. When his second uncle and his family come back from work, I will let Xiaoyi take his brothers to collect it. Don't worry, we will definitely hold your wedding in a grand manner!"

Xu Yu nodded happily: "Great, great! I want to have a wedding that will be envied by all the lesbians in our town."

"no problem!"

Now, the old man and the old lady's expressions were as colorful as a color palette.

The old man wanted to say something but was pulled away by the old lady.

Looking at the two people's quick footsteps, Xu Yu and Yang Wenhui looked at each other and then smiled.

After they walked away, Yang Wenhui said to Xu Yu, "Xiaoyu, from now on, just treat them the same way you did today. These two have always favored the second brother's family and have never been kind to us. Now, it's obvious that they heard that Xiaoyi took out a thousand yuan for the betrothal gift and want to get some benefits from you. Don't let them succeed."

Xu Yu smiled at her: "Aunt Yang, don't worry. I won't let anyone who treats you and Brother Yi badly take advantage of me."

Yang Wenhui felt relieved.

Jiang Yi was obviously paying attention to them, so when the two of them walked to the edge of the yard with radishes on their backs, he strode over and took over their backpacks. As he carried the baskets towards the kitchen, he asked, "What did Grandpa and Grandma say to you just now?"

Yang Wenhui and Xu Yu looked at each other, and then Xu Yu spoke to him briefly.

After hearing this, Jiang Yi nodded and said, "Okay, we'll go get the money after dinner tonight."

Then he said to Xu Yu: "If they come looking for you again in the future, tell them to come looking for me."

Xu Yu smiled and nodded.

Only after Jiang Yi poured the two baskets of radishes into the large basin next to the water tank did he continue to work.

Xu Yu and Yang Wenhui came to wash the radishes.

Xu Yu looked at Yang Wenhui's rough hands and prepared to make some hand ointment for her. He talked to her while washing them.

Yang Wenhui must have agreed happily.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Aunt Zhu, Aunt Su and Aunt Jiang Yi came to help with cooking.

Xu Yu took a special look at this Third Aunt. She seemed very honest and quiet, but she worked very efficiently.

She asked about Yang Wenhui's family.

It turned out that Jiang Yi's third uncle's family was also very poor. Their eldest son broke his leg when he was a child because of playing too much and became a cripple, so he could only marry a crazy educated youth. The couple had two children, who were raised by their third uncle and aunt. The second son was about to get married, but he couldn't afford the bride price. They were planning to marry off their eldest daughter, who was only sixteen years old, in exchange for the bride price.

The two elders despised them for being useless, and although they did not treat them as badly as they did Jiang Yi's family, they still adopted an indifferent attitude.

But after all, they are not born by the same mother, and Jiang San's family is not close to Jiang Yi's family. They will only come to help when there is something wrong, so as to prevent outsiders from gossiping.

Yang Wenhui said to Xu Yu: "From now on, you should treat them as relatives with whom you have a moderately good relationship. We will help them when they need help, and just call them when you see them."

Xu Yu understood.

……

By this time, the men had already completed the foundation. A group of people were moving the bricks piled on the side towards the foundation, and mixing the mud, sand and loess with water.

Xu Yu had nothing to do in the kitchen, so she followed Jiang Yi, who was pulling the wire, and asked, "Brother Yi, have you started laying bricks today?"

Jiang Yi: "Well, there's still some time, we can build a little bit."

Xu Yu smiled and asked, "Do you think the walls of five houses can really be built in two days?"

"can."

……

The group of people did not stop until dark. Looking at the walls that had already been built on one of the foundations, Xu Yu inexplicably felt that it was possible to build all five rooms in less than two days.

In the evening, we ate directly by the stove. Except for the elders who sat around the stove, no one else sat down. After picking up the dishes, they all squatted in the yard and talked while eating.

Xu Yu put two pieces of boiled radish in her bowl, as well as a pheasant leg that Yang Wenhui had specially picked for her. She walked to where Jiang Yi was squatting and prepared to squat next to him.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yi asked someone to hand over a small stool.

Xu Yu sat next to Jiang Yi who was squatting there and ate.

Jiang Yi then said to everyone, "After dinner, come with me to collect the debt."

Everyone immediately responded excitedly: "Okay!"

Xu Yu wanted to go with them, so he asked, "Can I get it?"
