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

Lin Fengjiao's voice was hoarse as she whispered, "Don't do this again next time. It really hurts so much. Brother Qingshu, please be gentle with me. If you do this again, I won't let you touch me."

Shen Qingshu coaxed softly, "Okay, I'll listen to my wife. I'll take you shopping for clothes another day as my apology, okay?"

"Hmm, I want to sleep now. I need to call my parents tomorrow."

"Honey, go to sleep. I'll go wash the sheets and clothes."

Lin Fengjiao tilted her head and fell asleep.

The next day, I rested for half a day and was able to get out of bed after taking medicine. My calves were trembling, and I slowly went downstairs to the convenience store.

The first time, the brigade leader's daughter answered the phone, and someone went to call her mother over.

[Feed.]

Her nose tingled, and she almost cried. She took a deep breath: "Mother, this is my Fengjiao. I miss you all."

Zhang Lan said happily, "Fengjiao, how's it going in the city? I've been waiting for your call. You silly child, why didn't you call yesterday at your wedding?"

[Your mother couldn't sleep all night, worried something might have happened on your wedding day. Did everything go smoothly yesterday? Is Shen Qingshu good to you?]

"Yes, he's very good to me, but he's a bit too clingy. My mother-in-law is also good to me; she gave me a big gold bracelet the first time we met, which must have cost at least a thousand yuan."

They really value me and are very generous with their money. You'll see when you go home for the New Year. Their family is doing quite well, but I still miss home and you all.

Hearing her daughter say this, Zhang Lan felt relieved and said irritably, "Silly girl, your father and I are relieved that you've found such a good family. Why are you worrying about us?"

[These girls are all destined to get married. After marriage, they should prioritize their husband's family. If people know you miss your parents' family, wouldn't they laugh at you?]

[We should have a child with Qingshu soon. He's not young anymore, don't you think? Life will only be stable with a child. We'll also get a phone line installed next year.]

Otherwise, it would be quite awkward for me to answer the phone at the brigade leader's house. What if I ran into Jiang Lie...?

Lin Fengjiao thought about it and agreed: "Yes, Mother is right. When are you planning to get a phone line installed? I'll give you some money then. Once I have a job, I'll have more spare money."

"Mom, big cities are so much better! It's so convenient to buy anything. You can just walk across the street and you're at a high-rise building. Unlike back home, where we had to go all the way to town, it was such a hassle."

[Haha, that's right! My daughter will be a city dweller from now on, and your child will be a city dweller too, no longer having to struggle for a living in the countryside like we did. That's wonderful!]

Zhang Lan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Although she felt somewhat guilty towards Jiang Lie, to be honest, she still hoped that her daughter would marry someone from the city.

【Fengjiao, I never imagined you were so lucky. To be able to resist consummating your marriage with Jiang Lie for three years—Qingshu truly deserves your kindness. From now on, live a good life and stop thinking about other things.】

"Yes, I know, Mother. How is he now?"

Lin Fengjiao spoke calmly, as if asking a casual question.

Zhang Lan glanced at the girl sweeping the yard and lowered her voice: "The young couple is quite good. That Wen Yao is truly capable; now people from all around want to see her for treatment."

[As for Jiang Lie, he's still the same as before: hunting in the mountains and working in the fields as soon as he comes down. Mother thinks it's fine for you all to live your own lives.]

Alright, it's getting late. You've just gotten married, so get some rest. Remember what your mother told you before.

[In bed, you should make a man feel comfortable; he'd give you his life. But you can't always give in to him. Your own health comes first. Remember, you absolutely cannot have sex during your period.]

Lin Fengjiao's face flushed red instantly, and she hesitated for a moment before replying awkwardly, "Okay, I'll remember, Mother. I'll hang up now."

Zhang Lan listened to the dial tone and was reluctant to hang up the phone.

Upon entering the courtyard, she said politely, "Baozhu, thank you for coming to tell me. If there's nothing else, Auntie will go back to work. You can continue with your tasks."

"Yes, Auntie, you must be busy. I'll call you if you get a call."

"Okay, thank you Baozhu."

"fine."

As Zhang Lan stepped out of the courtyard, her face beamed with undisguised joy, and she became even more energetic when she got to work in the fields.

"Hey Lan, your Fengjiao called. You got married yesterday, right? What's up with the call today?"

Sensing their eagerness to see the drama unfold, Zhang Lan straightened up and smiled, "Yes, of course it's a good thing. My Fengjiao is lucky; she's married into good families both times."

"My in-laws liked my daughter Fengjiao the first time they met her, and they gave her a big gold bracelet. Fengjiao said it was very heavy, it's all solid, and each one is worth more than a thousand yuan."

"Think about it, when a girl from our village gets married, the bride price is so low, people just casually give her a gold bracelet."

"If you didn't like my Fengjiao, you wouldn't be so willing to part with her."

Several women gasped upon hearing this, their eyes filled with disbelief: "A big gold bracelet? Is this what you call a gift for meeting someone? Good heavens, we knew city people were rich, but we didn't know they were this rich."

Zhang Lan said with a smug look, "That's right, but not all of them are rich. Most of them work in factories and only earn a fixed salary each month. They wouldn't be willing to buy their daughters-in-law big gold bracelets."

"Lanhua'er, how much was the bride price for your daughter's marriage? Did you buy gold jewelry?"

The tall, thin man paused for a moment upon hearing this, then looked somewhat embarrassed: "I don't know. I haven't asked my daughter, Duoduo. I'll ask her another day. Even if she has one, it probably isn't a gold bracelet."

"That big gold bracelet is not easy to give away. It costs so much money. We are all farmers, so we know that it is difficult to come up with such a lot of money. We can't make things difficult for them."

"I'm already very content that my daughter, Duoduo, can marry into the city and won't have to do manual labor like me anymore."

Zhang Lan smiled without saying anything: "That's right. My son-in-law also said that he will arrange a job for Fengjiao in a few days. It's a comfortable office job, and it doesn't matter if the salary is not high."

"My son-in-law is so thoughtful and treats my Fengjiao exceptionally well. No wonder the Taoist priest said that my Fengjiao is lucky and that good days are yet to come. This is exactly right."

As people around him offered their compliments, a voice suddenly broke in from the corner.

"Really? But I remember the old Taoist priest said that your daughter is destined for a good first marriage, so just live a good life and wait to enjoy her blessings. He didn't mention a second marriage at all."

"Feng Jiao is on her second marriage now, who knows what will happen in the future."

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.

Zhang Lan's face darkened: "What do you mean by that, sister-in-law? You can't stand to see my Fengjiao doing well, can you? If you're so capable, why don't you arrange a son-in-law from the city for your daughter? Stop with your sour remarks."

The sister-in-law snorted, "Who cares? I'm just stating the facts."
