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

Mr. Gu hummed in agreement, his voice a little hoarse: "It's getting late, you should all go back and rest early. You'll have to get up and work tomorrow, and your bodies won't be able to handle it if you don't get enough rest tonight."

"Okay, second brother, we're leaving."

"Wait a minute, second brother, has your little sister said how she's been lately? Is Jiang Lie treating her well?"

Gu Erge snorted: "That black bear? My little sister said she treats it quite well. I think she looks pretty good; she's even gained weight in her face. That guy is alright."

"But it's just that our little sister is pretty. What man doesn't look at a face? We still have to see what happens in the future. You can't tell anything in such a short time. A divorced man, pshaw."

Brother Gu kicked him: "Speak properly. Why are you always so rude? Judging people by their appearance is wrong. It's enough that your brother-in-law treats your sister well. Why do you have so many complaints?"

"So what if I have a problem with it? She's the little sister we raised with our own hands. It's like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung. How can I stand it? Ugh, I can't even think about it, it hurts my heart."

"Hmph, so what if I said a few words behind her back? I really don't know what kind of taste my little sister has. I didn't see Jiang Lie as that good either."

When Gu's father heard that his daughter was doing well, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that she's doing well. Second son, you need to watch your mouth. We'll have to see them sooner or later when we get back to the city."

"If you keep your mouth shut and say something reckless, and they have a fight, then I'll deal with you."

Gu Erge pouted and muttered under his breath, "Everyone's talking about me, everyone's criticizing me. Is it wrong to tell the truth? Divorced men are the most annoying, especially with their ugly faces..."

"Ouch, why did you hit my head again, bro? I'm already stupid enough. If you hit me again and make me stupid, will you take care of me?"

"Say no more, let's go back."

Brother Gu pulled the person away.

The two brothers lay on the straw mat, unable to sleep with their eyes closed. They seemed to be thinking about something, listening to the buzzing sound around them, and touched their legs, which didn't hurt or itch.

Gu Erge sat up abruptly: "Hey, it seems like no mosquitoes are biting me anymore. Big brother, you should try it."

"Well, it's better if we don't have it. Let's go to sleep and stop messing around here. If all goes well, we can go back to the city next year or the year after."

"Okay, go to sleep."

The Gu family slept soundly that night, and their complexions improved considerably the next day, making them stand out among the crowd. Someone came over to ask, "Weren't you bitten by mosquitoes last night?"

Gu Erge leaned over and pointed to the bumps on his face: "How could I not get bitten? Do you think mosquitoes are my relatives and won't bite me? What are you thinking? Do mosquitoes recognize people?"

The person asking the question was taken aback: "I, I didn't mean that. I just noticed you all looked well and wanted to ask how you did it."

"Light some mugwort, then wrap yourself in a sheet. If you sleep soundly, you won't feel it."

"Oh, let's try it tonight too."

After Gu Erge and the others left, a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes: "Big brother, big brother, those leaves are amazing! They're so useful! I didn't get bitten by any mosquitoes all night!"

Brother Gu hummed in agreement: "Okay, stop making noise and get back to work."

"Okay, I understand."

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Wen Yao was washing clothes in the yard, while the two little ones were sorting herbs nearby, working with great energy. They would occasionally look up at her and cover their mouths to giggle.

"Auntie, now that we've divided up these herbs, we can eat sweet rice cakes every now and then! We also want to eat chestnut cakes; they're so soft and delicious!"

"Haha, okay, Auntie will make it for you this afternoon. We have to do laundry this morning, so we don't have time. This afternoon I'll make some chestnut cakes for you, and then we'll go fishing and have fish balls for dinner."

"Wow, I love fish balls!"

The two little ones stood up, jumping and laughing. Wen Yao watched this scene and couldn't help but laugh: "So cute."

A furtive figure peered around the courtyard gate. Seeing no one, it moved closer and peered through the crack in the gate into the courtyard, where it could only see Wen Yao and the pair of twins.

After staying for a while, she went back. Who else could it be but Meizi? After returning, she didn't stay idle. She secretly drew on paper, folded it up, and put it in an envelope.

"Phew, it's finally done. I hope Feng Jiao will be satisfied. I don't know what she needs all this for. She's already married in the city, why does she still want me to keep an eye on Jiang Lie and his wife?"

"Whether other people are doing well or arguing is none of her business. I really don't understand."

In the afternoon, Meizi arrived in town and dialed the number. The call was answered quickly, and it was Lin Fengjiao's familiar voice.

Hello, who is this?

[Fengjiao, it's me, Meizi. You asked me to keep an eye on Wen Yao and Jiang Lie, and I've already done so. I even sent you a drawing. They're taking care of her brother-in-law's twins lately.]

[I heard that the twins aren't in good health and need Wen Yao to help them. That's about it. Feng Jiao, why did you make me keep an eye on them?]

The voice on the phone suddenly became much sharper.

On the other end, Lin Fengjiao had dark circles under her eyes and looked exhausted. She had been tormented by Qing Shu on her first day of marriage and thought she would be able to rest well later.

Unexpectedly, my mother-in-law sent the twins back. They were so noisy that I couldn't get any rest. I was already exhausted from taking care of them during the day, and at night I had to deal with Qingshu's insatiable demands on the bed.

She really couldn't straighten her back. She couldn't explain why she was willing to spend money to have Mei Zi keep an eye on Jiang Lie and the others. Anyway, she just wanted to know how they were doing.

Her voice was a little hoarse: "Didn't the couple argue? These twins are so hard to take care of. One's noisy and the other's noisy too. One's quiet and the other's up..."

Mei Zi was a little confused: "Ah, Feng Jiao, what are you talking about? How do you know so much about raising twins?"

Lin Fengjiao's heart tightened, and a cold sweat broke out on her back. She quickly changed her tune, saying, "Oh, it's nothing. It's just that the neighbors also have twin sons, and they're so noisy, I can't sleep at all."

Oh, I see. How's life in the city?

"Of course it's great! Life in the city is nothing compared to life in the countryside. My mother-in-law is incredibly kind to me. She gave me a gold bracelet without hesitation, something most mothers-in-law would give away."

[Sigh, Qingshu is just too clingy, I can't take it anymore. Meizi, you've been married before, how's your husband in bed? How do you make yourself feel good?]

Lin Fengjiao rubbed her aching back, unable to express her suffering.

Mei's face flushed red instantly, and she stammered, "I... I don't mean anything by it. I just occasionally take that drug to make myself feel better. Men are all like that, they have no self-control in bed."

Just bear with it. Once you get used to it, it'll actually be quite comfortable, especially since your husband is an educated man. Just ask him to be gentler, and you'll suffer less.

[It seems Jiang Lie wasn't up to par before; all that big of a guy was for nothing. You never complained about how tough it was when you were together, so why is it so difficult now that you're with Shen Qingshu?]
