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

Everyone watched the excitement for a while and then turned back to work.

Xu Yu was confused, so he called Jiang Yi aside and shared his thoughts with him: "I heard about her from the educated youth in our village. After she came here, she rarely exchanged letters with her family, nor did she send anything. The things she brought were also ordinary things that you would find in a big city. Isn't it a bit strange that her family suddenly sent her so much money?"

Especially when Xue Yunyan suddenly took out two hundred yuan to pay back Jiang Wei's family, it seemed so fantastic no matter how you thought about it.

If Xue Yunyan's family was really that wealthy, how could she have tolerated Jiang Wei's engagement to someone else? Not to mention that even after knowing Jiang Wei was engaged, she would still willingly continue her affair with him, and finally willingly ruin her reputation to snatch the marriage away.

Even if Xue Yunyan's family really had money, it would be impossible for them to be so wealthy as to send so much money to Xue Yunyan at one time. After all, if an educated youth had one or two hundred yuan on him, he would have a good life in the village. Judging from the reactions of Jiang Laoer and his wife, it was obvious that their family was not only able to repay the money, but also able to marry a wife.

It costs more than two hundred yuan to marry a wife.

Jiang Yi had actually thought of this as well. The mother of that educated youth had also specifically inquired about her. According to his mother, she was just a woman from a big city with an average family background and good academic performance.

Since Xu Yu also had doubts, he said, "Let's go to town and ask if there's any recent remittance slip from her and we'll know."

"Can I ask?"

"Well, good to ask. I just happened to have our package so I asked."

Xu Yu felt relieved.

After Jiang Yi finished speaking, he turned around and continued to work.

By three o'clock in the afternoon, all the tiles on the roof were covered.

Jiang Qingyun asked several carpenters to go back and rest and come back tomorrow. After they left, everyone visited the five brick houses together.

Although the brick and tile houses of this era were not even covered with cement or whitewashed, they were considered the best in everyone's eyes.

Zhang Hongmei was so excited that she said to Xu Jianping next to her, "You and your brother should work hard and try to build a few brick houses in the future."

Xu Jianping certainly didn't dare to spoil her fun at this time, so he nodded: "Okay, okay."

Zhang Hongmei was really happy to think that her daughter would soon be able to live in such a nice house, so she asked Jiang Yi, "When will the furniture you ordered arrive?"

Jiang Yi: "Xiaoyu and I will go to the county town and come back with the furniture delivery truck."

"Very good, very good. When the time comes, you can discuss how to arrange the furniture when it comes back. There are some rules to follow."

"it is good."

After the visit, everyone sat together in the main room.

Now that there were no outsiders around, everyone started discussing going into the mountains.

Jiang Yi and his team planned to set off at nightfall tonight and return around eleven or twelve o'clock tomorrow night.

When the time comes, I will take the things I want to sell to the town and have the car I found in advance take them away.

So Jiang Yi now has to go to town to prepare.

In order not to attract attention, and because the house in the backyard of Jiang Yi's house also needed to be renovated, everyone decided that Jiang Yi and Xu Yu would go to the town together. If anyone asked, they would say they were going to buy some things, and the others would stay at Jiang Yi's house to continue to clean up the house in the back.

After the discussion, Jiang Yi pushed the bicycle out and rode towards the town with Xu Yu.

Before, Xu Yu would hold onto Jiang Yi's clothes whenever she rode on his bicycle. Now that the weather was getting colder, and they were getting married in a few days, Xu Yu was no longer reserved and directly put her arms around his waist.

But as soon as she put her arms around his waist, she felt his waist and abdomen tighten.

Xu Yu deliberately patted his flat and firm belly and said, "Brother Yi, don't be nervous."

Unexpectedly, this slap caused the bicycle to twist violently.

The road they were walking on was already narrow, and the bicycle twisted and almost fell into the field.

Jiang Yi quickly put one foot on the ground to steady the bicycle, then turned to look at her.

That look was like a bottomless whirlpool that almost sucked Xu Yu in.

Xu Yu's heartbeat was inexplicably irregular, but he looked at him with innocent eyes and said seriously, "It's a bit cold. I want to lean on your back to block the wind."

Unexpectedly, the next second Jiang Yi put his other foot on the ground, let go of the bicycle handlebars, and was about to take off his jacket and give it to her.

Xu Yu quickly held down his arm and said, "Don't take it off. I'll just lean on your back."

After saying that, she deliberately winked at him and asked, "Don't you like me hugging you?"

Unexpectedly, I got a deeper look in return.

After a moment, Jiang Yi finally spoke, his voice indescribably deep: "It's not that I don't like it, it's just... I'm not used to it."

"Then you have to get used to it. I might have to hold you like this on the back of your bike from now on."

Jiang Yi looked into her smiling eyes, hummed after a few seconds, and then turned back.

This time, Xu Yu simply hugged his waist.

Jiang Yi lowered his eyes to glance at the little hand around his waist, then drove out.

After arriving in town, Xu Yu and Jiang Yi went straight to the post office.

The post office in town is small and sparsely populated.

It just so happened that there was no one else around at the time, so he took his package and said to Xu Yu, "This contains a piece of fabric I saw while I was in the provincial capital during the National Day holiday. I thought it would look great on you. We didn't have it in stock at the time, so I asked my sisters-in-law to buy it and send it to you when it became available."

Xu Yu looked at the package in his hand, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up: "You have already bought me so much fabric, why buy more?"

Jiang Yi said seriously: "I want you to dress beautifully every day."

Xu Yu couldn't suppress the smile.

How could this man say such nice words in such a serious tone?

If there hadn't been someone nearby, she would have wanted to do something to him.

Finally she shook his hand, then let go and smiled at him.

Jiang Yi looked at the light in her eyes and moved his fingers.

Just as the director came out, Jiang Yi took Xu Yu to greet him, and the three of them sat down and chatted.

Xu Yu then realized that when Jiang Yi came back, he had sent many things by mail, so he came to the post office frequently. In addition, his heroic deeds impressed the director very much, and after a few visits, the two became familiar with each other.

The director asked about the progress of the construction of his house and said that he would go to the wedding for a drink when the two got married.

Jiang Yi expressed his welcome and then chatted for a few more words. He then asked casually whether anyone in Shangping Village had sent money by mail during this period. When they learned that no one had sent money by mail, the two knew that Jiang Laoer's family was lying.

Because they had other things to do, the two left the post office after a short while.

On the way Jiang Yi took Xu Yu to find someone who could help them transport the things out, the two chatted about Jiang Wei.

Xu Yu said, "It seems that Jiang Wei's money came from illicit sources."

Jiang Yi hummed but said nothing, obviously thinking.

Xu Yu also wondered what someone like Jiang Wei could do to get such a large sum of money in such a short time.

In her opinion, Jiang Wei, apart from having a sour and self-righteous smell, has no ability or skill, and is simply not the material for accomplishing great things.

So it’s unimaginable how he could get such a large sum of money.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Yi said, "The only people he can get in touch with who can make money are probably those in the village who can go to the black market. It just so happens that Li Puppy knows where the black market is."

"You mean, Jiang Wei might have been cooperating with Li Puppy for a long time, and this time they went to the mountains together and killed Li Puppy?"

"Well, some time ago he said he was frightened by Ding Dong and fell ill, so he stayed at home. But the day before we went to the mountains, when I went to the blacksmith's shop, I heard him say that he had asked him to make a knife the day before."

Xu Yu was surprised: "How dare someone like him?!"

“When faced with absolute interests, even the weakest person can become ruthless.”

Xu Yu thought about it and felt that it made sense. He sneered and said, "People like this don't deserve to live a good life. If they kill someone, they must be punished."

So she asked: "Brother Yi, do you have any way to find evidence that he killed someone?"

Jiang Yi thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "I'll go back and make arrangements."
