If you don't consummate the marriage for three years and then marry a successful educated youth

Hearing what was said behind him, Ya Ya's father quickened his pace and slunk home.

The people at the door exchanged glances, realizing there was no more excitement to be seen, and were just about to go home when they spotted a familiar figure approaching: "Hey, look who's coming over there."

"This Dr. Wen's house is really lively, one after another they come, really."

Lin Fengjiao wore a red floral dress, her hair was braided into a side braid, and a glittering gold necklace was visible around her neck. Her fingers were intentionally or unintentionally touching her neck, as if afraid that people wouldn't see it clearly enough.

His gaze swept over them, and he said irritably, "Can't you move aside? I need to go in."

Upon seeing this, the woman asked, "Fengjiao, what brings you here? Are you looking for Jiang Lie or Wen Yao? I heard you're getting married to Shen Zhiqing. When is he coming to pick you up and take you back to the city?"

Li Fengjiao crossed her arms, raised her chin slightly, and said smugly, "Soon. Qingshu is a purchasing agent for the factory. He's very busy lately and has to go on a business trip out of town, so he'll naturally be a little late picking me up."

"He also said that he would pick me up in a car. You've never seen a car before, have you? Only leaders can ride in those. I, Lin Fengjiao, will be a city dweller from now on."

"Oh dear, he also said he would arrange a job for me in the city, where I can stay out of the wind and rain. That's the kind of job that suits me. Brother Qingshu really understands me."

The women exchanged glances and couldn't help but laugh, "Feng Jiao is indeed lucky. No wonder she's the team's beauty queen. Being beautiful is really something. But Shen Zhiqing isn't young anymore. Why did he wait until now to get married?"

"It's not like he started contacting you after you got married, is it? That's a bit too bold. Oh, I just blurted it out, don't be angry."

Lin Fengjiao's face darkened, and she snorted, "I'm too lazy to talk to you about this. I pushed open the door, went into the yard, closed the door, and walked towards the person who was digging in the dirt."

With a stern face, he arrogantly replied, "Jiang Lie."

Jiang Lie turned to look at her, his face expressionless: "What are you doing here?"

"Of course I'm looking for you. What else would I do? We grew up together, after all. I'm going to the city soon, and it'll probably be hard to see each other again."

"I didn't want to meet you. We're strangers. If we've made that clear, what's the point of coming here?"

Lin Fengjiao felt humiliated and was quite annoyed: "You still have this bad temper. I'd like to see how long you can keep up this act. You really don't appreciate kindness."

Jiang Lie ignored her, bent down and continued to dig and loosen the soil, clearing away unwanted seedlings, preparing to plant other vegetables.

"Hey, I heard your wife killed someone with her treatment. If you ask me, you should just let her go back to working in the fields and stop doing those useless things. Being a barefoot doctor in the countryside isn't easy."

"Don't cause trouble and make you clean up the mess, or ruin your family's reputation."

Lin Fengjiao continued, "I heard about Ya Ya's situation. That poor girl was so pitiful. If your wife had paid more attention, she might not have died. Doesn't she feel any remorse at all?"

Jiang Lie found her very noisy, and his eyes showed some impatience: "Are you bored because you've eaten too many pickled vegetables? What's it to you? Why are you babbling on here?"

"We've already figured out what happened with Ya Ya, so there's no need for you to waste your breath here. Get out of here, or you'll just be in the way."

"Why are you treating me like this? Even if we can't be husband and wife anymore, we were still husband and wife before. Do you have to say such hurtful things?"

Lin Fengjiao sniffed, feeling a little aggrieved. "Hey, Qingshu will come pick me up once he's done with his work. I probably won't come back often after this, maybe only once a year for Chinese New Year."

"You...don't have anything to say to me? I used to be a bit willful, but you can't blame me for it all. It's your fault for not knowing how to comfort me."

Hearing the noise in the courtyard, Wen Yao came out of the house and raised an eyebrow when she saw the girl: "Ah Lie, come and rest if you're tired. There's no rush to finish everything today."

"You must be Li Fengjiao. Are you here to see me or Ah Lie? What's the matter?"

Looking at her flawless face, Lin Fengjiao felt a pang of jealousy. She quickly walked over and deliberately said, "I know you are Wen Yao, the educated youth."

"I've seen plenty of female educated youth like you. You're afraid of hardship when you go to the countryside, so you marry a capable man, don't want to have children, and then you divorce him and go back to the city when you can return."

"I can tell you're just after Jiang Lie's competence. His father is the brigade leader. If you marry him, you won't have to work in the fields and can live a carefree life. You're really good at scheming."

Wen Yao found it somewhat amusing; this person had labeled her right from the start, what a strange person.

"Who gives you the right to lecture me is none of your business. Ah Lie has no objection, so why are you bringing it up? If there's nothing else, go back home. It wouldn't be good if your husband found out you were at your ex-husband's house."

"Whether you want to marry into the city or stay at home and wait to get married is better. You come to my house for no reason to lecture me. Do you think I'll listen to you?"

Jiang Lie put down his hoe and came up from the vegetable garden.

He said coldly, "Lin Fengjiao, you can leave now. You are not welcome in our home, and don't come back again."

Lin Fengjiao turned to look at him, her eyes reddening: "You actually yelled at me for her sake! We grew up together, you've gone too far, Jiang Lie."

"I'm just giving you a friendly reminder: don't be fooled by this city woman. She doesn't genuinely want to settle down. Be careful she doesn't drain all your money."

"What kind of barefoot doctor is she? Look, she's killed people with her treatments, and you're just going to let her do whatever she wants?"

Jiang Lie pretended not to hear and gestured for her to leave: "Get out. You are not welcome in my home, and I don't need you to lecture me. I know best what I'm doing."

Seeing that he was so ungrateful, Lin Fengjiao stomped her foot and cursed, "You blockhead, you'll regret this later."

He jogged away.

"Ah Lie, she's always been so inexplicable, it's impossible to communicate with her."

"Yeah, she often gets angry for no reason. I can't guess what she means or what she's thinking. But it doesn't matter anymore. She often does things that are completely unpredictable and without any rhyme or reason."

Wen Yao hummed in agreement: "Okay, then let's leave her be. Let's just live our own lives. I'll go home later and ask my parents if they want us to make some cooling tea for the brigade since the weather is getting hotter."

Jiang Lie was somewhat surprised: "Cooling-down tea? That won't cause heatstroke, right?"

"It's not entirely true, but we can take preventative measures. Otherwise, if the blood temperature gets too high, it can be life-threatening. I've seen people die from heatstroke before."

"The body temperature is very high, and the internal organs are almost cooked, but that kind of situation is rare, so it's good to take precautions in advance."

Wen Yao said softly, "I don't have many patients right now, and I've prepared quite a lot of medicine. I don't have much to do for the time being, so why don't we brew some cooling tea for the brigade? It'll make them feel more comfortable while they work."
