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

Before she could speak, Shen Qingshu spoke up, his tone tinged with helplessness: "Dr. Wen, I'm so sorry, there's nothing we can do about it. I just happened to be here on a business trip."

"Time is of the essence. I need to take my boss home tomorrow and also bring my wife along. I'm really worried about her going home alone if I don't bring her."

"Sigh, human traffickers are so rampant these days. I'm not comfortable letting a young girl get on a bus by herself."

Lin Fengjiao chimed in, "Yes, yes, I'm going back now. I've been out for quite a while. It's just applying medicine, I can manage by myself."

Wen Yao looked at her calmly: "Are you sure you can do it? The scar removal depends entirely on these few days. If you're not careful, the scar will be hard to remove later. Think it through."

"After all, I've made the consequences clear to you. You can decide for yourself how to choose; I won't interfere."

"But let's get this straight: if you're leaving tomorrow, please make sure the treatment contract clearly states that you're the one who has to leave during the treatment period, and you'll have to bear the consequences of not following the doctor's orders."

Lin Fengjiao felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this, but it was indeed agreed upon from the beginning. She couldn't say anything even if she was unhappy now, since she still needed her to get medicine to remove the scars.

He nodded seriously and said, "Okay, I understand. Wen Yao, please prescribe the medicine. If I get a scar, I won't come to you. I'll bear the consequences myself."

Wen Yao hummed in agreement, took out the treatment contract and let her write it down herself. As for any future disputes, the written contract would prevent any arguments, and she wouldn't be able to argue even if she wanted to.

"Okay, take a look."

"Okay, I'll go get you the oral pills, ointment, and you should also take the decoction on time. This will help you recover faster. You should be able to completely remove the marks from your face in about two months."

Lin Fengjiao's eyes lit up, and she sincerely thanked him, "Okay, I'll remember that. I'll follow the doctor's orders carefully. Um... Wen Yao, thank you. You didn't mean to trick me."

Wen Yao glanced at her: "What are you trying to scam me for?"

"That's right, that's right, I am Jiang Lie's ex-wife. At first, I was worried that you would set me up. Wouldn't you be happier if my face was completely ruined? I was just being petty."

"There's no deep-seated hatred between us, so why would I cheat you? Besides, I'm a doctor. A doctor's job is to treat and save lives; it's too despicable of me to tamper with medicine."

Lin Fengjiao twisted her fingers, her face flushed with embarrassment: "Yes, I know, I was being too petty."

"Calculate how much the medical expenses are, and I'll pay you."

"Okay, you guys wait here."

Ten minutes later, Wen Yao came out and handed over a box: "Inside is medicine for the next two months, and also a prescription. Go to the pharmacy to get the medicine and boil it. Add plenty of water at once, and don't add any more water during the process."

"When you've boiled down to just one bowl of medicine, drink it while it's hot. Drink it once every three days. You know how to use the other two: one is for internal use twice a day, and the other is an ointment once a day."

After giving her detailed instructions, I had her repeat them herself. Once she was sure there were no problems, she nodded and said, "The consultation fee plus the medical expenses is forty-one yuan in total. Please pay in full without credit."

Shen Qingshu frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. He quickly took out the money and handed it over: "Dr. Wen, if someone from your brigade came to treat you, would they charge this much?"

Wen Yao looked at him and didn't hide anything: "No, it's different in the brigade. I treat the people in the brigade and record their work points. I also distribute the grain they grow. The medical expenses will be between twenty-five and thirty yuan."

"She married you, no longer works in the brigade, and is no longer a member of Xiangyang Brigade. Charging forty-one yuan is no problem."

"Okay, I understand. Please keep the money."

Shen Qingshu pulled Lin Fengjiao out: "Wife, let's go. We'll go back to your parents' house, pack our things, and then we can leave. We also need to go to town to pick up the leaders to go back together, so let's not waste time."

Lin Fengjiao nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Let's go back quickly."

Zhang Lan carried large and small bags into the trunk, her eyes filled with reluctance: "Son-in-law, if you have time in the future, come home with us. These are all local specialties from the mountains, take them back and try them."

"If you like to eat it, remember to give us a call and we'll send it to you."

Shen Qingshu smiled and said politely, "Yes, Mother, I understand. You all go ahead with your work. I'm taking my wife to town."

"Okay, you guys go ahead."

The elderly couple stood at the door, watching the car gradually drive away until it was out of sight. They wiped the tears from their eyes and choked out, "I don't know how long it will be before we see each other again after this trip."

"Sigh, I should have just found a son-in-law to live with us. My daughter could stay by my side, instead of being unable to see him like this."

Lin Jianguo patted her arm: "Don't think too much about it, we should go to work."

Shen Qingshu drove all the way to the entrance of the town's inn, gave the person in the passenger seat a few words of advice, and then got out of the car to go upstairs to pick up the person. He opened the car door and said politely, "Dad, please sit in the back."

"Um."

Yun Baishan's gaze fell on the passenger seat, his eyes filled with inquiry: "You must be Qing Shu's... new wife, right? You look very young. How did you two meet?"

Lin Fengjiao tensed up immediately, not daring to turn around and look at the person, afraid that the scars on her face would frighten them. But it would be too impolite not to turn around at all, so she glanced at the driver.

Seeing him nod at her, she mustered her courage this time and looked back at him: "Dad, my name is Lin Fengjiao. I've known Brother Qingshu for several years. He was an educated youth who went to our village to work in the countryside."

Yun Baishan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Your face?"

"Oh, I got some bumps on my face. I went back to see a good doctor, and they're almost gone. I just need to let them rest at home. Dad, how many children do you have?"

"...!!"

Seeing his expression change and his eyes seem even fiercer, Lin Fengjiao felt a chill run down her spine and couldn't help but become nervous: "Father, what did I say wrong? I'm sorry."

Yun Baishan closed his eyes and said coldly, "I only had one daughter, and she's gone. Don't call me 'father' anymore. I don't like hearing other girls call me that."

"Yes, I'm sorry. How should I address you?"

"Call me Director Yun."

Lin Fengjiao smiled awkwardly, wishing she could beat herself to death. She really had to bring up the most awkward topic. Why did she have to mention his daughter? And how come his only daughter died?

How did he die? Why didn't Qing Shu mention it to me before? Honestly, I really made a fool of myself today.

Shen Qingshu gave her a reassuring look: "Honey, why don't you get carsick? Don't throw up later. This is the company car, you can't throw up."

"Okay, I understand. I'm going to take a nap. Remember to wake me up when we get there."

"Okay, you can sleep peacefully. I'll wake you up when we get there."
