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

There was a knock on the door.

Lin Fengjiao paused, then looked towards the door.

Zhang Lan stood up and said, "I'll go see who it is. Fengjiao, your face has just been treated, go back to your room and rest. Don't be angry, a good mood will help your wound heal faster."

"Okay, I understand."

As I came out of the main room to go back to my room, I heard a familiar voice: "Fengjiao, it's me, Meizi! Oh my god, it really is you! I didn't believe it when they told me."

Lin Fengjiao paused, walked towards the courtyard gate, and looked at the person who came in: "Meizi, did you come to see me?"

"Yeah, why didn't you tell me you were coming back? I could have picked you up in town. But your face... why is it wrapped up like that? Is it serious?"

"When the people working in the fields told me, I didn't believe it. I didn't expect you to actually come back for treatment. You went to find Wen Yao and ran into Jiang Lie."

Mei smiled and said, "Auntie, let me chat with Fengjiao. It's been so long since we last met, I miss her."

Since she had already said that, Zhang Lan couldn't very well refuse, so she nodded and said, "Okay, you two good sisters can chat. But Feng Jiao's wound on her face hasn't healed yet, so she needs to rest and recuperate as soon as possible."

"Understood, Auntie, don't worry, I won't be late. I'll be back in half an hour."

"Okay."

After her best friend went inside and closed the door, Meizi took her hand and said mysteriously, "Fengjiao, didn't your man come back with you? How could he let you go back to your parents' home alone?"

Lin Fengjiao rolled her eyes at her, sat down, and said irritably, "With my face that looks like it's been disfigured, who would want to mess with me when I'm out and about? I'm perfectly safe coming back by myself."

"As for my husband, he's very busy with purchasing at the factory every day. He doesn't have time to come back with me to treat my face. Besides, this treatment won't heal in just a few days."

"It takes about half a month to heal almost completely, and three months to fully recover. The skin on my face is delicate and heals slowly, so there's nothing I can do about it."

Meizi nodded and tentatively asked, "Then you and your man didn't quarrel, did you? I knew it wasn't like what they said. Those people are such a chatterbox and so annoying."

"You have no idea what they say about you behind your back."

Lin Fengjiao pursed her lips: "Tell me what they're saying behind my back. I want to see what they're saying about me. A woman who can only scrape by in the countryside her whole life, how can she compare to me?"

"You dare to laugh at me behind my back? Tell me, I'll go to the fields tomorrow and see if I catch anyone talking nonsense. I'll tear their mouths apart."

Mei Zi's eyes flickered, and she quickly changed her tune, saying, "Actually, it's nothing. I'm just jealous of you. I figured you must have had a fight with a man to come back alone to treat your face."

"They say city men would never be interested in country girls, they're just laughing at you. Once your face heals, your man will come to pick you up, and all these rumors will fall apart."

Seeing that she remained silent, Meizi stared at her face, which was covered in gauze: "And Fengjiao, Wen Yao stole your man. Do you think she might do something bad to your face?"

Lin Fengjiao shook her head: "No, if something goes wrong with my treatment at her place, how good will her reputation be? Wouldn't that ruin her own reputation?"

Mei hummed in agreement, her eyes flickering. "How much medical bills does she want? If it's too high, you might try to extort some money from her."

"For example, she said it would take half a month to heal. If your face doesn't heal by then, wouldn't that be her fault? Wouldn't it be better if she compensated you?"

"Okay? You mean you're going to risk disfigurement on me to extort money from Wen Yao? Are you out of your mind, or do you think I, Lin Fengjiao, am stupid enough to joke around with my face?"

Lin Fengjiao was furious and slapped him across the face, her eyes filled with disgust: "Shut up, and try talking about Chunhua again. You won't get another penny from me."

She doesn't know anything. She knows how much suffering her face has endured, how much she has tormented herself when the hospital couldn't cure it. What does Meizi know? She's a shallow-minded piece of trash.

Now she doesn't want anything else, she just wants to get her face healed as soon as possible. Nothing else matters. What is a thirty-dollar consultation fee compared to her face for the rest of her life?

Mei Zi felt a slap across the face, and her mind went blank.

Embarrassed, she sat there and quickly apologized, "Feng Jiao, I was wrong. It was all my fault for giving such a bad idea. I didn't mean anything by it. I just didn't want to see Wen Yao being so smug."

"You have no idea how nasty the people in the brigade are. They say it was the right thing for you to divorce Jiang Lie. Jiang Lie married a capable and good wife, and it's like his suffering has finally come to an end."

Lin Fengjiao pursed her lips and didn't speak. It was impossible for her not to be angry, but she couldn't stop others from talking. She had even more troublesome things to worry about, and she didn't know how things were at home.

Ugh, so annoying!

He couldn't help but scold, "Can't you say something useful? All you do all day is spout this nonsense. What can I do if I know? Can I refuse Wen Yao's treatment?"

"You know how many hospitals I've been to? So far, only her treatment has the best results. My only goal now is to get my face healed. If she stops treating me, are you going to come and do it yourself?"

Mei Zi was stunned by the shouting and subconsciously shook her head: "I, I can't cure it, I don't know anything about it."

Lin Fengjiao snorted: "What does it matter to me whether their relationship is good or not? I'm already married and living a life of luxury in the city. No matter how jealous other people are, it's useless. How can they compare to me?"

"I'll make them jealous and resentful, but they can't do anything about it. So what if I'm a second-time bride? I'll still marry a first-time city man. If they dare to say anything to me, I'll shut them up."

"Alright, it's getting dark, you should go home early too. I need to sleep and recover from the injuries on my face. Don't talk about these troublesome things."

"Take the money; it's your previous payment."

When Meizi saw the money, her earlier displeasure vanished instantly. She said ingratiatingly, "I understand, I know everything. You should rest and recover. I'll come see you another day."

Lin Fengjiao waved her hand: "Let's go."

After everyone left, Lin Fengjiao lay on the bed, unable to stop thinking about what Meizi had said earlier, and felt a little unhappy: "What do you mean I delayed Jiang Lie? What does that have to do with me?"

"He was willing to do it himself. Besides, isn't my three years a period of time? Why doesn't anyone say he wasted my time? These people are really blind."

Youth is so important to women, how can it be compared to men? Even if she feels wronged, she should be the one who feels more wronged. If Jiang Lie hadn't been so insensitive and didn't know how to comfort people...

She didn't have to marry so far away. To be honest, life at his house was easy and comfortable. It's just that he looked too fierce, and she was too resistant to him.

It wasn't my fault; it was all Jiang Lie's fault.

In the mountains and caves

Jiang Lie sneezed repeatedly: "Achoo~~"
