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

Chapter 260 Jiang Yi is angry

Xu Yu became even more curious.

Jiang Yi didn't hide it from her: "The higher-ups asked me to help out. I'll be responsible for teaching them how to do it during this period."

Xu Yu understood.

However, she didn't intend to ask any more questions about this matter. She just nodded and said, "That's good. This way, our family will have more labor force."

"Ah."

"Are you going to go into the mountains?" Every time someone comes, they go into the mountains, and Xu Yu feels that these people should be no exception.

“They want to go.”

"Then tell me before you go, I need some herbs."

"it is good."

As they were talking, they saw Jiang Shilan picking grass for pigs on the hillside.

Besides her, Li Cuihua was also there.

Li Cuihua was coaxing and deceiving Jiang Shilan: "You are already an adult. In two years, you will be telling people off. When you are bullied by your in-laws, you will have to rely on your brothers Gang and Lei to support you. Otherwise, do you think Xiaojun can take care of you?"

Jiang Shilan retorted: "Once my brother makes enough money, he can go to the provincial capital to get his legs treated!"

"Come on!" Li Cuihua's tone was full of ridicule. "You are the only ones who believe Xu Yu and the others and think Xiaojun's leg can be cured. Look for yourself, can Xiaojun's leg be cured?"

"If you help your brothers Gang and Lei now, you're actually helping yourself... Go back and talk to Xiaojun and ask him to teach Xiaogang and Xiaolei how to carve. Otherwise, I'll have your grandparents find a matchmaker and ask them to find you a child bride. Then, if you get bullied by your in-laws, who'll come to your aid?"

Li Cuihua's words obviously frightened Jiang Shilan.

Seeing Jiang Shilan's face turn pale in an instant, Li Cuihua was feeling proud and was about to say more words to scare her, when she heard a familiar sneer from the side.

She and Jiang Shilan simultaneously looked quickly at Xu Yu and Jiang Yi who were standing not far away.

Xu Yuming is only three months pregnant, but her belly is already very noticeable.

She stood there, one hand on her waist, and asked Li Cuihua bluntly, "Second Aunt, it's useless to look for Third Uncle, Third Aunt, and cousin Jiang Jun, so you've set your sights on Sister Shi Lan, right?"

Under Jiang Yi's sharp eyes, Li Cuihua said in her heart "None of your business", but she didn't dare to say anything. She said in a tone of being misunderstood for her good intentions:

"Xiaoyu, how could you think of me like that? I'm doing this for Shilan's own good. The third family will have to spend a lot of money to treat Xiaojun's leg. Even if Xiaojun can earn more than ten yuan a month, it won't be enough to go to a big hospital in the provincial capital to treat his leg in a short time. By then, the third family might marry Shilan off early in exchange for a betrothal gift. Am I not thinking about her?"

When Jiang Shilan heard this, she felt a surge of anger in her heart, but she didn't dare to retort to her second aunt like her eldest cousin's wife did. She could only clutch the hem of her clothes, lower her head and sulk.

Xu Yu glanced at her and said directly, "Shi Lan, someone has said this to you, why don't you refute it?"

"If you don't refute it, this person might really find someone to introduce you to someone in order to let someone in his family learn sculpture."

Hearing this, Jiang Shilan's body shook violently, and she quickly looked up at Xu Yu with panic and fear in her eyes.

But when she looked into Xu Yu's eyes, the panic and fear in her heart inexplicably dissipated, and suddenly she was no longer afraid of Second Aunt, so she looked at Li Cuihua, and said to her seriously and solemnly with a stern face:

"My brother said that anyone who wants to learn carving from him must pay the apprenticeship fee. If Second Aunt's family can't come up with the money, then go out and earn it. I'm only fifteen years old now. Even if I want to get married, I'll have to wait until I'm an adult. My parents will find someone to introduce me to someone, so you don't have to worry about it!"

Li Cuihua didn't expect that her soft-hearted niece would dare to speak to her like that. She became furious and was about to start cursing.

At this time, Xu Yu's cold snort was heard again: "Second Aunt, my mood has been fluctuating recently. If you dare to scold Shi Lan, I will let Brother Yi deal with you~"

She even deliberately dragged out the last word, which made Li Cuihua very angry.

But she didn't dare to act recklessly in front of Jiang Yi. She could only glare at Jiang Shilan angrily and cursed with gritted teeth: "You ungrateful bitch, when you are bullied by your in-laws, who will help you?"

Then he turned and strode away.

Looking at the figure walking away, Jiang Shilan had never felt so relaxed.

She looked at Xu Yu and Jiang Yi and said seriously, "Brother and sister-in-law, thank you."

Jiang Yi remained expressionless and did not respond.

Xu Yu said to her, "Shi Lan, if you meet someone like Second Aunt who is unreasonable and loves to act arrogantly, don't be afraid. The more afraid you are, the more she will control you. Don't worry about your marriage. Not to mention that you are still young, you are not at the age to meet someone. Even if you are, it should be Third Uncle and Third Aunt who make the decision. They can't marry you off to anyone, so just care about them."

These words were like a wake-up call, and were a revelation to Jiang Shilan.

She nodded to Xu Yu hurriedly, and smiled shyly: "Sister-in-law, I understand. Thank you."

Xu Yu also smiled at her, and continued walking towards the village entrance with Jiang Yi.

After walking for a while, Xu Yu said to Jiang Yi, "I thought Second Uncle's family had been quiet recently, but I didn't expect Second Aunt was still targeting Third Uncle's family."

At the same time, he was puzzled: "Jiang Gang and Jiang Lei are both good workers. It's been several months, haven't they earned enough money to become apprentices?"

Jiang Yi told him: "Second Aunt wants to find a partner for Jiang Lei. All the money they earn is with her."

Xu Yu: "... Jiang Gang already has a wife and children, so why should the money be managed by Second Aunt?"

"Ah."

Jiang Yi had heard about this from their mother's gossip before.

Li Cuihua has always been powerful in Jiang Laoer's family and has always been in charge of the money. However, when Jiang Wei was around, she was very generous to Jiang Wei. Now she is only a little generous to her eldest grandson. Everyone else, even herself, has to eat coarse food every meal.

Xu Yu couldn't help but shake her head. As for the people from her second uncle's family, as long as they didn't do anything in front of her, she didn't care at all.

The two then turned to other topics.

Unexpectedly, while walking, I met He Yaqin and Wang Pandi again.

Xu Yu hadn't met He Yaqin since returning from the provincial capital. When he met her suddenly, he found that her belly was already very big.

There was an old woman in the village who could tell if a baby was a boy or a girl. The two men were obviously planning to find this woman to see whether He Yaqin was carrying a boy or a girl.

At first, they didn't see Xu Yu and Jiang Yi, and were talking happily.

Wang Pandi said, "It must be a son. Your belly looks exactly like when you were pregnant with Jinbao."

He Yaqin touched her belly and smiled: "I think so too, but I am the same as Changgen. I think it doesn't matter whether it is a son or a daughter. Anyway, we already have Jinbao."

"How can they be the same? Who would complain about having too many sons? Besides, if you gave birth to two sons, what would it matter if Xu Yu was pregnant with twins?" At this point, she said darkly in her heart: "I don't think Xu Yu can give birth to a son either. Just wait, she will definitely be pregnant with two worthless girls."

Xu Yu: “…”

Xu Yu subconsciously glanced at Jiang Yi, whose expression suddenly turned cold as he walked beside him.

How could I not know that he was also angry when he heard this.

She was about to speak.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yi spoke first: "Who said our daughter is worthless?"

His voice was low and serious, with an oppressive aura, which frightened He Yaqin and Wang Pandi.

The two of them looked over suddenly and met Jiang Yi's cold face that was intimidating even without anger.

Especially those eyes, they are as sharp as they can be.

The two were so frightened that they immediately looked away, their faces turning pale.

Xu Yu reached out and grabbed Jiang Yi's hand, soothing it with his thumb, and said to the two of them with a sneer:

"Before, it seemed like you were the ones most actively saying I couldn't get pregnant. Now, not only am I pregnant, I'm pregnant with twins. You must be secretly envious and jealous, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be gossiping about me all the time. And... Comrade Wang, I don't understand how you, a woman yourself, can say things like girls are worthless?"

Wang Pandi was about to speak.

Xu Yu didn't give her a chance at all, his expression fierce: "I have no objection to you treating yourself like an object, but if you dare to say something like this about whether my child is worth money again, I will be rude to you."

After saying that, Wang Pandi glanced at He Yaqin as his face turned even paler, and then said, "Whether the baby in my belly is a boy or a girl, Brother Yi and I will love them very much. We have the ability to raise them well. If you really want to compete with me, then compete to see who can give the child the best life and who can raise the child better. Otherwise, shut up."

After saying that, he took Jiang Yi's hand and walked forward.

He no longer looked at the two people who had the same ugly expressions.
