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

Shen Qingshu said solemnly, "Father, don't worry. When I went to the countryside, your family took good care of me. My relationship with Fengjiao goes without saying."

"I was sincere towards her, otherwise I wouldn't have stayed single after returning to the city, even when my family kept urging me to find someone."

"It's nothing for Feng Jiao to be a little spoiled. I'll pamper her from now on. You can rest assured and leave her to me. I'll be her support from now on, and we'll make a good life for her."

Lin Jianguo nodded and said politely, "Come on, son-in-law, let me toast you. Come back and visit us when you have time. We are an old couple and we only have this one daughter."

"When you have children, if your mother is unable to take care of them, I'll have your mother-in-law take care of them to help ease your burden."

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is difficult, and he doesn't want Fengjiao to suffer as well, especially when it comes to childbirth and childcare. He thinks it's best to let his wife take care of the child so that his daughter won't be wronged.

Shen Qingshu, knowing he had undergone tubal ligation and would never allow Lin Fengjiao to get pregnant, readily agreed, as it was something he couldn't do anyway.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Dad. It'll be hard on Mom then, but I don't want Fengjiao to suffer right now. It's not too late to have a child next year."

"After we get married this year, let her get used to city life. I'll try to find some connections to see if I can get Fengjiao a job in the factory. It would be so much more respectable for her to have a stable job in the future."

The elderly couple's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and they exclaimed excitedly, "Great! That's wonderful! Qingshu, we were right about you. You're such a responsible young man. If there really is news of a job..."

"Just write to us how much money you need, and we'll raise the funds for you. Even if you don't pass the exam, you can still buy a job. It's worth spending a few hundred dollars."

Shen Qingshu coaxed, "Yes, it's worth it. You can get promoted in a year or two. It's a secure job for life, and you can even pass it on to our children. Isn't that great?"

Lin Fengjiao listened to their conversation from the side, her face full of shyness: "Oh, Father and Mother, don't worry about this. Brother Qingshu is such a steady person."

"He will definitely arrange everything for me. Just wait and see me live a good life. Don't worry about anything."

"Okay, Mom knows. Come and eat."

The next morning, after dawn, the two ate a simple meal. Shen Qingshu watched as people stuffed things into the trunk and said politely, "Father and Mother, there's no need to stuff anything. You can buy anything in the city."

"You should eat all this good food at home. It'll keep you healthy, and that'll put our minds at ease in the city."

Zhang Lan waved her hand, tied up the old hen, put it in a bag, and then put it in the car: "It's okay, we have everything at home. It's troublesome for you to buy things in the city. Take these back with you to eat."

She looked at her daughter and said, "Fengjiao, come with me for a moment, I have something to tell you."

"Yes, Mother, please tell me."

Pulling her daughter aside, Zhang Lan handed her a book and instructed, "Read this before your wedding night. Don't spoil your husband all the time; make him be gentler, or you'll be the one suffering."

"This first time is very important. If it hurts too much, you'll be reluctant to have sex in the future. Also, let me tell you, you absolutely cannot have sex when you're on your period."

"When you get pregnant, you must tell your mother, okay? I will take care of you and not let you suffer from your mother-in-law's temper. No matter how good your mother-in-law is, you must remember that there is still a distance between you and her."

"You silly girl, you're so heartless. Don't believe people just because of a few words. You have to keep your money in your own hands, otherwise you'll really be pitiful if you lose it."

Lin Fengjiao rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Mother, look at what you're saying. We're married now and we're going to live our lives together. Of course we should live well together. How can we be hiding our true intentions?"

"Besides, Qing Shu's mother doesn't live with us. My husband and I live together, and we do things together when there are things to do at home. What problems could there be?"

"Qingshu is different from those country bumpkins. He's not the kind of person who wouldn't pick up a fallen soy sauce bottle. Don't worry, Mother, he'll definitely treat me very well, and we'll be very happy."

Zhang Lan sighed, "That's what you say, but you're still marrying far away. How can a mother be so at ease? If you suffer any grievances in the city, remember to tell your mother, okay?"

Lin Fengjiao nodded and said, "I understand, Mother, don't worry."

"Alright, it's getting late, we should go."

"Yes, Mother will see you to the village entrance."

The two got into the car, and Shen Qingshu waved to the outside. He drove slowly towards the village entrance, glancing at the people who were sticking their heads out and looking out.

Lin Fengjiao looked around but couldn't see that tall figure, which made her a little uneasy.

That's strange. Jiang Lie has been my wife for three years. Is it possible that he won't even come to check on me before she leaves? What a heartless bastard. Humph.

"Feng Jiao, who are you looking for?"

"...Ah, no, I'm just looking at my parents. I feel sad when they cry. I've never left the hospital before, I wonder if I'll miss home."

"Brother Qingshu, stop at the village entrance for a moment. I want to dig up some soil from our hometown so that I won't get sick from the change in environment when I bring it to the city."

Shen Qingshu raised an eyebrow and smiled good-naturedly: "Okay, whatever you say."

The car stopped at the village entrance, and Lin Fengjiao couldn't wait to get out. She took out a cloth bag and started filling it with soil. She felt a strange pang of sadness in her heart, unsure if it was anxiety about the future.

She still felt heartbroken that the person didn't come to see her off. Even though they were divorced, they were childhood sweethearts. Jiang Lie was really heartless.

Shen Qingshu's gaze swept over her, noticing that she kept secretly looking around the village, as if searching for someone. His eyes darkened, and he tentatively asked, "Feng Jiao, who are you looking for?"

He crouched down beside her and said, "You're not looking for Jiang Lie, are you? Do you still have feelings for him? We're the ones who are going to spend our lives together."

Lin Fengjiao looked into his eyes and inexplicably felt a sense of danger. She quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, I'm not looking for him. Why would I look for him? I'm just a little reluctant to leave the village."

"I don't know when I'll be able to come back next time, sigh."

"It's okay. You can come back whenever you want to visit. Before we have children, you can come back during holidays. But we'll be much busier after we have children."

"Okay, I understand."

Lin Fengjiao, carrying a cloth bag, sniffed after getting into the car: "Brother Qingshu, let's hurry up and leave, otherwise I'll be reluctant to go."

Shen Qingshu smiled and nodded: "Okay, we'll leave now. We'll stay overnight in Yuncheng next door, and then drive for another day to get home."

"Ugh, it's so far."

"Haha, it's a bit far by car. If you take the train, it'll only take a day."

"Okay, I understand, Brother Qingshu."

Lin Fengjiao leaned back in her chair, her head throbbing with pain. She thought it was because she hadn't slept well, until waves of nausea washed over her.
