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

Three hours later, the car arrived at a town. Shen Qingshu led his men to a restaurant to order food. While she went to the restroom, he cautiously asked, "Dad, what else would you like to eat?"

Yun Baishan coldly swept his gaze over him: "I met this girl when I went to the countryside a few years ago. Why did you marry my daughter three years ago? When did you two get in touch?"

"Xiao Shen, don't tell me that you and this country girl were in contact even before my daughter died."

His eyes were like knives, as if the next second he would be met with a beating if he said the wrong thing.

Shen Qingshu's heart tightened, and his eyes reddened: "No, Father, you know I'm not that kind of person. A few years ago, when I went to the countryside, this girl was very attentive to me, but I always avoided her."

"Three years ago, I came back from the countryside and met Xiaorou. After that, I only had Xiaorou in my heart. As you know, I never say a word to other female colleagues at work."

"I'm not the kind of person who's fickle. If it weren't for the children, I would have gone with Xiaorou after she passed away."

Yun Baishan thought about his conduct at work and realized that he was indeed a principled and honest person who didn't have any ulterior motives and didn't have any ambiguous relationships with the female colleagues.

When his daughter brought someone home, he had asked around and found out that he was indeed not a womanizer, good-looking, well-educated, capable, and devoted to his daughter.

He then nodded in agreement.

Thinking of this, her tone softened a bit: "So what's the story with this girl? How did you get in touch with her? Is she really that obedient and good at taking care of my grandson?"

Hearing this, Shen Qingshu felt a little relieved, but she didn't dare to be careless. She whispered, "It was the captain who contacted me. I don't know where she got my phone number."

"She wrote to me very attentively, but I never paid any attention to her. Later, after Xiaorou passed away, I had to support my family and take care of the children, so I thought about marrying someone else."

"You were worried that I would have children with other women and that I wouldn't be able to treat Xiaorou well in the future, so I got a tubal ligation to show my stance. As for why I married Lin Fengjiao, it was simply because she was easier to control."

He said frankly, "Father, I know my thoughts are a bit despicable, but if I marry someone else to take care of the children, those older women are too scheming, and I'm worried that it will harm the children."

Yun Baishan toned down his imposing aura, becoming less cold. He was a man himself and could understand his son-in-law's thoughts. Remarriage was inevitable, and he didn't necessarily want his son-in-law to remain a widow.

Currently, marrying a young, capable, and easily controlled woman is indeed better than marrying others. Other city girls have family backgrounds, unlike Lin Fengjiao, a country girl who is easy to control. She is indeed the most suitable for her grandson.

Her voice softened considerably: "Okay, I understand. Your decision to have a tubal ligation already shows your stance. I shouldn't have questioned you like that. I won't ask again."

"I see how much you care about my daughter. Take good care of both children in the future. Before I step down, I will help you take my place. Don't worry."

Shen Qingshu said emotionally, "Father, you know I don't care about this. I just want the children to have a better life. This country girl is young, capable, and simple-minded. She won't have any bad intentions towards the children."

"The girls from the city live nearby, and if they come to visit all the time, I'm worried they might have bad intentions. I thought about it for a long time before I came up with this idea."

"Don't worry, Father. I have no feelings for her at all. She's just a tool for raising and taking care of the children. How could I possibly fall for a crude country girl?"

Yun Baishan hummed in agreement: "Alright, as long as you live up to my daughter's and my grandson's expectations, that's fine. As for that girl, she's ugly, and it's already lucky that she was able to come to the city from the countryside."

"She didn't lose anything. If she takes good care of the child, he will be her support when he grows up. She won't have to suffer the pain of childbirth. She is the one who owes my daughter."

Shen Qingshu echoed, "Yes, Father is right. I have always remembered my purpose and will never do anything to betray Xiaorou. My heart will always belong to Xiaorou."

"No one else can compare to Xiaorou. She was my first woman and the apple of my eye. It's such a pity that she died so suddenly. God is so cruel."

After exchanging pleasantries, the atmosphere between the father-in-law and son-in-law improved considerably.

Lin Fengjiao returned and sat down, glancing cautiously at her boss before quickly lowering her head to eat properly, afraid of leaving a bad impression and causing trouble for her husband.

After the meal, Yun Baishan walked out of the restaurant and headed towards the sound of vendors calling out. His eyes were filled with mixed emotions as he looked at the roasted chestnuts, his daughter's favorite food, which he regretted never being able to eat again.

His voice was a little hoarse: "Give me a serving of roasted chestnuts."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Holding a paper bag, he got into the car and leaned against the window: "Xiao Shen, get to the next town before dark. We'll stay at a hotel tonight, and you can take me home tomorrow."

Shen Qingshu nodded: "Okay, I understand, Father."

Lin Fengjiao smelled the aroma of roasted chestnuts in the carriage, glanced at the driver with a hint of resentment in her eyes, but ultimately said nothing, deciding to buy them herself in the next town.

The car arrived around 4 p.m. Shen Qingshu found a larger hotel and arranged rooms. His father-in-law was in the middle room, which he had specifically chosen because it was separated by two other rooms.

If we keep making noise at night like this, we're not afraid of being overheard.

Lin Fengjiao tugged at his hand and said coquettishly, "Brother Qingshu, shall we go out for a stroll? It's not dark yet, so we can go out and buy some delicious food."

Shen Qingshu nodded: "Okay, let's go out."

"By the way, honey, I have to tell you something. If you want to eat roasted chestnuts, remember not to eat them in front of my boss. His daughter died not long ago, and it might bring back painful memories for him."

"Oh, his daughter likes to eat this. No wonder he just held it in his hand without eating it after buying it. It's quite pitiful."

"How did his daughter die?"

"sudden death."

Lin Fengjiao couldn't bear to listen: "It's so pitiful. She only had one daughter, and she died suddenly. There was no time to save her. Did she have heart disease or something?"

Shen Qingshu shook his head: "No, he has a very normal, overweight body. He's a bit ugly, but it's probably due to his obesity."

She knew very well that the cause of death was not obesity, but that her mother had deliberately fed her pig feed in an attempt to discipline her to be obedient. In addition, she had been overworked taking care of two children and the family all by herself, and died suddenly.

It doesn't matter, he's dead, so be it. He really couldn't bring himself to eat that ugly thing.

The two went outside, and Lin Fengjiao jumped up and down happily: "Brother Qingshu, let's go buy that, you peel it for me."

Shen Qingshu smiled, peeling the shell as he walked, looking at her smiling face: "So happy? Remember to take the medicine and get better soon, or I'll feel sorry for you."
