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

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingshu looked away, gently patted the sulking girl with his large hand, and patiently coaxed her: "Feng Jiao, what are you thinking? In my eyes, you are the most beautiful girl."

"In my eyes, no one else can compare to you. I'm just a little curious. You said your ex-husband couldn't have children and probably had health problems, so it's strange that he was able to marry such a beautiful wife."

Lin Fengjiao put her hands on her hips, snorted unhappily, and said, "How would I know? Anyway, their business has nothing to do with me. We can go home now; we have to drive back tomorrow."

"We agreed that the wedding would be held at a state-run restaurant. Since we've already had one at home, my parents won't be going. I'll go with you alone."

"Okay, my Fengjiao is just so well-behaved and lovable."

"Hmph, all you know how to do is flatter me."

Seeing that she was no longer angry, Shen Qingshu praised her again, making her feel completely bewildered. He then invited her into the car and offered to take her for a drive.

Lin Fengjiao hummed in agreement, and after getting into the car, she said smugly, "Let's take a ride around to the other brigades. Don't close the car windows. I want them to see that I, Lin Fengjiao, am not unwanted."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, my dear wife. You and Jiang Lie really never had a real marriage, right?"

"Of course, do you still doubt me? I would never lie to you about my innocence. Besides, you can't lie about this kind of thing. He tried to touch me, and I stabbed him with scissors."

She looked at him tenderly and said, "Brother Qingshu, I only care about you, and I only want to give you my innocence."

Shen Qingshu's smile deepened, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and his attitude became even gentler: "Well, that's good. For a woman, the best dowry is her chastity."

"Feng Jiao, you have a sincere heart for me, and I will never let you down. Don't worry."

"Yes, I believe you, Brother Qingshu."

Lin Fengjiao watched Wen Yao's departing figure, suppressing the inexplicable unease in her heart, and kept telling herself that everything was alright and not to overthink things, and that she would never regret her choice.

Whether it's work, appearance, education, or family background, Shen Qingshu is better than Jiang Lie in every way. It's impossible for me to have made the wrong choice in him.

Yes, that's right. What does Jiang Lie, that peasant, have? He has nothing.

The car went to other brigades, and when it passed through the village, many children gathered around, chattering, "Mommy, Mommy, look! That's a car!"

"Hey, it really is a car."

Lin Fengjiao opened the window, poked her head out a little, and greeted everyone with a smile: "Auntie, it's me, Fengjiao. Don't you recognize me? You were the one who delivered me when I was little."

The woman was taken aback when she saw this: "You are Fengjiao, the only daughter of the Lin family, right? Of course I remember you. After all, only daughters are very rare in the countryside."

My gaze fell on the car, and seeing the people who were unwilling to get out, I felt a little uncomfortable.

"Back then, your mother had a difficult childbirth, and you almost died. I went through a lot of trouble to save you. It was really not easy. I never thought you would grow up so fast."

"What's with this little car? It's so impressive."

A hint of pride flashed in Lin Fengjiao's eyes: "Auntie Ao, this is my boyfriend's car. We're going to the city tomorrow. I'm marrying into the city."

The woman looked at the driver, paused, and hesitated to ask some questions. Wasn't this girl married to the son of Captain Xiangyang? How come she's getting involved with other men now?

After a few polite words, the car drove away, kicking up a cloud of dust. The woman covered her mouth and coughed a few times, then reached out to brush away the dust.

With a frown, she pulled the child a little further away.

He muttered to himself, "This girl really has no manners at all. I saved her life, after all. What does she mean by not getting out of the car?"

"That's strange. She's been married before and has never had children. How could she possibly marry a city man?"

Lin Fengjiao and her companion strolled around for a while, then got out of the car and entered their own yard, beaming as they called out, "Father, Mother, we're back! When are we going to eat?"

When Lin Jianguo saw his daughter and son-in-law return, he said warmly, "You're back! That's great! Come and have dinner."

"The brigade leader gave us meat today, it's delicious."

"...It must be meat that Jiang Lie hunted. I don't want to eat it. Who wants to eat what he hunts? He even brings his wife into the mountains. Doesn't he have any shame?"

Seeing her daughter speak so harshly, Zhang Lan said irritably, "Alright, stop saying that. You're about to go to the city, why are you still so displeased with Jiang Lie?"

"From now on, we'll all live our own lives, and no one will interfere."

"Okay, I understand. I just can't stand it."

Lin Fengjiao sweetly asked, "Brother Qingshu, after we go to the city, will we go straight to the restaurant for the banquet? Should we get the marriage certificate first or after the banquet?"

Shen Qingshu said affectionately, "Of course we should get our marriage certificate as soon as we get back to the city, and then have a banquet. That's the only way to be aboveboard, isn't it? I don't want you to be criticized by others."

"Also, no one in the city knows about your past, or that you were ever married. Don't tell anyone else. Since you're a virgin, it's as if you've never been married."

"Think about your family matters. There's no need to let others know too much, otherwise there will be too much gossip."

"I don't want you to be criticized, can you understand that, Fengjiao?"

Lin Fengjiao said with emotion, "Yes, yes, I understand. Don't worry, Brother Qingshu, I will listen to you when I go to the city and I will not tell anyone about what happened before."

"I know what those gossips are like. Letting others know too much won't do me any good. They don't need to know so much about my past."

Shen Qingshu nodded with a smile: "Yes, we should just live our lives behind closed doors and not care what others think, and we don't need to talk about our family matters."

Preemptively, she said meaningfully, "Of course, if someone talks nonsense in front of you in the future, you can't believe them, you know?"

"Many people in the compound want to introduce me to potential partners, but you're the only one in my eyes and my heart. I've rejected them all. I can't guarantee that no one will hold a grudge against me for this and try to sow discord between us in front of you."

Shen Qingshu knew very well that he couldn't hide the fact that he had been married and had children from the people in the compound. Of course, he also had to tell Lin Fengjiao in advance that she just needed to not believe them.

As the family ate their meal, Lin Jianguo looked at his handsome son-in-law, hesitant to speak, and said, "Qingshu, I only have one daughter, and she's been spoiled a bit."

"You're several years older than her. In the future, when you argue, could you give in a little? If a couple can understand each other, they can live a harmonious life."
