The next day, Jiang Yue took advantage of Eugene Hua's inattention, shouted that she was going to the mountain to chop firewood, and ran away.

Eugene Hua couldn't stop her, and when she ran out of the house, Jiang Yue was nowhere to be seen.

She spat and waited for someone to come and pay the betrothal gift. She would lock that little bitch in her room tonight and see what tricks she could come up with.

Jiang Yue ran all the way to the town, panting. It seemed that running up and down the mountain every day had paid off, and her physical strength had improved.

She spent two hundred coins on the cheapest coarse cloth dress and another twenty coins on a pair of large shoes.

She didn't even have time to eat a proper meal before rushing back to the village.

This long-distance running is really life-threatening.

Her legs were shaking and she could hardly breathe.

If there weren't any men this tall in the village, she wouldn't have to rush like this today.

Most of the men in Jiangjia Village are thin and small. The men in Yan Gu's family are all about 1.65 meters tall and cannot borrow clothes.

When she reached the foot of the mountain, she was finally able to walk slowly.

She followed yesterday's footprints to find the small cave.

There was no sound. Could he have left? I didn't know if he understood what she said yesterday.

Once inside the cave, he just sat there quietly, looking up at her.

Jiang Yue felt as if her heart was hit. He was obviously a cool guy, but he looked so well behaved.

She couldn't help but smile and touched his hair, which was unusually soft.

He seemed to really enjoy being touched on the head, and he tilted his head and rubbed it gently against her palm.

Jiang Yue gently rubbed his hair, smoothed it out, took out a piece of cloth and tied it into a ponytail.

Looking to the side, I saw that all the buns and steamed buns had been eaten, and there were some broken chicken bones on the ground. There were not many of them, but they were stained with bright red blood.

Jiang Yue gently lifted his chin with both hands, indicating that he should open his mouth.

I touched his teeth lightly with my fingertips. They were quite hard. There were also two symmetrical small canines, which were a bit sharp.

It was unclear whether he had eaten it last night or this morning. Jiang Yue gave him two more buns and ate one herself.

He seemed to like the buns very much and finished them in just two bites.

Jiang Yue's heart trembled. Could she afford to support this man?

After eating the buns, she still had to teach him how to put on his clothes.

This time, I couldn't even close my eyes. It was easier to touch things I shouldn't touch with my eyes closed.

She only bought outerwear, and there seemed to be no underwear here, and the wind was blowing in the crotch.

Jiang Yue suddenly remembered that since she didn't know the other person's name, she couldn't just keep calling him/her "you, you, you".

"My name is Jiang Yue, why don't you call me Jiang Nian?"

I called him Jiang Nian several times, but he was confused.

This dress was already the largest one in the cloth shop, but when Jiang Nian wore it, the cuffs and trouser legs were still a lot too short.

But it didn't matter. Most people in the village were like that. They wore a piece of clothing for three to five years, passed down from one brother to the next. As long as it didn't break, it would become a family heirloom. Clothes that fit well were rare.

"Jiang Nian, I'll take you down the mountain now."

She walked in front and Jiang Nian followed behind, keeping pace with her.

As Jiang Yue was walking down, her legs went weak and she fell.

Jiang Nian didn't have time to rescue her, so he quickly picked her up.

Jiang Yue grimaced, probably twisted her ankle.

Jiang Nian was a little nervous, Jiang Yue said it was okay, and then asked Jiang Nian to carry her down the mountain.

It was noon, the time when people who had worked in the fields returned home to drink water. They were all shocked to see a girl being carried home by a man.

Whose girl is this? Doesn’t she care about her reputation?!

Looking closely, it turned out to be Jiang Yue.

"Xiaoyue, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Yue patted Jiang Nian's shoulder and put her down.

"hiss--"

Jiang Yue leaned on Jiang Nian, her eyes reddened, "Aunt, I went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and accidentally fell into a pit. I almost died, but it was Brother Nian who saved me."

My aunt looked at her legs. Although she was wearing shoes and socks, what could those thin socks cover? Her ankle was clearly swollen.

But, no matter what, I can't let a strange man carry me home.

Speaking of this, the aunt looked up, met an expressionless face, and took two steps back. Wow! This man is so tall and fierce!

Jiang Yue ignored her and asked Jiang Nian to help her home.

In just a moment, the news that "Jiang Yue was carried home by a strange man" spread throughout the village.

In a quiet village, a man fiercer than a wild beast came and saved a weak woman. Everyone loves to hear such romantic stories of heroes saving beauties.

I also like to add my own thoughts and interpretations to it.

"What do you mean by carrying it home? I heard it was carried home!"

"Wow! Doesn't that mean I've touched everything?"

"What? A strange man touched Jiang Yue's body all over?"

"Oh my God! Isn't Jiang Yue going to marry a strange man?"

"Jiang Yue wants to get married. Will Jiang Dajin and Eugene agree?"

“…”

Uncle Jiang's family naturally couldn't agree to this. They looked gloomy and were thinking about how to drive the people away.

A little later, the matchmaker arrived with the betrothal gifts. The whole family, all dressed neatly, were waiting at home.

Jiang Dagui's eyes were filled with resentment. He had just learned today that his family was going to marry Jiang Yue off. But before he could plead, Jiang Yue brought a man home on her own.

There were a lot of people outside the courtyard who came to join in the fun.

Eugene Hua cursed at Jiang Yue, saying things like "unfaithful to her husband, seducer" and so on.

Jiang Yue tightly grabbed Jiang Nian who was about to hit someone, sat on a small stool, and exposed her swollen feet.

The sound should be very weak, but the villagers in the yard can hear it clearly.

"Aunt, I was almost dead in the mountains! It was Brother Nian who saved me! Without him, I would have been eaten by wild animals! A drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water! When my parents were alive, they taught me to repay those who helped me.

Now that my reputation has been damaged, Brother Nian is willing to marry me!"

When Eugene Hua heard the word "marriage", her expression became even more crazy.

"Get married? Dream on! You said you want to get married, so you can get married. Why?"

Jiang Yue raised her head and asked curiously, "Why not? Although you raised me for three years, you also took the money my father left behind. You are just my uncle and aunt."

Eugene Hua was speechless and looked at her man.

When the villagers in the courtyard heard this, they also remembered and whispered, "Yes, they are not their biological parents, and they took money. How can they control their marriage?"

"That's what I said, but how can raising a child be measured by money?"

Jiang Dajin forced a smile, "Xiaoyue, although we are not your biological parents, we love you as if you were our own daughter. How could we bear to let you marry a stranger like this? We will find you a good one..."

"Not getting married."

"W-what?"

Jiang Dajin was a little surprised.

"I'm not marrying, I'm looking for a son-in-law. Brother Nian is willing to marry into my family and take over the family line. In the future, our child will also have the surname Jiang. This is my parents' last wish."
