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

Zhao Jinhua smoothly changed the subject, nodding in agreement: "Son, it's getting late, you should go home early too, and try to make your wife work willingly."

"This way, you'll have less to worry about, and I'll have less to worry about either. She's young and capable, unlike me, who's old and useless. Sigh."

He muttered to himself, "If I had known, I wouldn't have bothered Yunrou in the first place. Compared to her, Yunrou is much better at serving people, much better than this country bumpkin."

Shen Qingshu glanced warily at the door and warned in a low voice, "Didn't I tell you not to mention Yun Rou again? Do you really want people to know that you killed her?"

"If people find out, do you think my father-in-law will let this go? All our plans will fall through. Mother, be careful what you say!"

"I...I understand. There are no outsiders here."

"Alright, I'm going back now. Take good care of Dad."

The next day, before dawn, Lin Fengjiao went to the market to buy groceries to prevent the twins from waking up and bothering her, which would prevent her from doing anything. Noticing the strange looks around her, she tugged at the headscarf she was wearing.

He quickened his pace and walked forward, but then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw something and stopped, frowning as he looked in that direction. He then moved closer and hid in the alley.

"Why is Qingshu up so early? He's not supposed to go to work today, so what's he doing buying paper money?"

Lin Fengjiao felt uneasy and quietly followed them.

After walking for half an hour, rows of tombstones came into view. The wind was a bit chilly. I rubbed my arms behind a tree and looked in one direction with some suspicion.

"Qingshu and her godfather, so they came to burn paper money at the grave. Could it be that their godmother passed away, and that's why they agreed to come and burn paper money together?"

Something doesn't seem right.

In front of the tombstone

Shen Qingshu knelt directly in front of the tombstone, looking extremely grief-stricken, tears streaming down his face, his voice filled with pain, his performance was incredibly sincere and moving.

"Xiaorou, how could you leave us so young? How are my child and I supposed to live? You don't know how much the child misses his mother every day, especially at night when he keeps crying and looking for you."

"I'm sorry. If you knew I got married, would you resent me? I didn't do it for myself; I did it for my two children."

"If it weren't for the children, I would have gone with you long ago. But the children have already lost their mother. If they don't have a father either, they will be bullied to death. I have to wait until they grow up, get married, and have children."

He reached out and stroked the cold tombstone, his whole body trembling: "Don't worry, I will definitely come to be with you then. I won't let you be so lonely. Wait for me, you must wait for me."

Seeing his son-in-law in such pain, Yun Baishan was somewhat moved. Having lived to his age, what was there that he couldn't see through? He knew very well what kind of men they were.

I never thought my son-in-law would stay by my daughter's side since she died young. Remarriage was inevitable. But I never expected my son-in-law to have such deep feelings for my daughter that he would get sterilized for her and his grandson.

To be honest, this incident shocked him quite a bit.

This also dispelled the little bit of resentment in his heart. He reached out to help her up and sighed, "Alright, stop crying. Xiaorou cares about you so much. If you really cry yourself sick, what will happen to the children?"

Yun Baishan comforted her, "You've done very well. I believe Xiaorou won't blame you. I was worried that you would remarry and have children, and those two grandchildren would be the most pitiful."

"But you went to get a tubal ligation just to put my mind at ease. I know what this means for a man. If you don't care about Xiaorou but care about the child, no man could ever do this."

"Good son-in-law, don't cry. I will help you. When the children grow up, Xiaorou will be very proud."

Shen Qingshu wiped away his tears, concealing the gloom in his eyes. What was he sacrificing so much for? Wasn't it all for the position under his father-in-law's butt? If it was his, then everything was worth it.

If you want to achieve something, you not only have to be ruthless to others, but also to yourself. Otherwise, how can you become someone superior to others?

His gaze was honest: "Okay, I understand, Dad. Don't worry, I will never fall for a country woman, and she will never have children. She will only be good to my child with Xiaorou."

"When the children grow up, they will have a father and mother, which will make it easier for them to find partners and start their own families. In the future, there will also be someone to take care of the grandchildren. Since Lin Fengjiao needs her children to support her in her old age, she can only do her best to take care of them."

Shen Qingshu sighed: "I just don't know if Father will think that what I'm doing is a bit despicable, but I'm thinking about her, she's a country girl, and a divorced woman at that."

"If it weren't for the good of the children, I wouldn't have married her. My reason for marrying her is simple: she's from a rural area and has no relatives or friends here. Only by not having a job can she be more sincere towards the children..."

After listening to his son-in-law's plan, Yun Baishan looked at him with admiration and said, "There's nothing wrong with what you're doing. She's a country woman who's been married before, and she seduced you to marry into the city. Naturally, she has to pay the price."

"Not having children is the price to pay. If I take good care of this family, my grandson will naturally take care of her in her old age. It's a win-win situation."

Shen Qingshu chimed in, "Yes, Father. If we find a local woman, her family and relatives are all here. If she doesn't get pregnant soon, they'll definitely suspect something, which will be bad for the baby."

To put it bluntly, he just wanted to find a woman who was easy to use and whom he couldn't resist; that was the safest option.

The father-in-law and son-in-law chatted for a while before leaving.

Lin Fengjiao, who was behind the tree, listened intently but couldn't make out anything. She murmured, "Qingshu seems to really care about his godfather and godmother, otherwise he wouldn't be crying so sadly."

"Then I should go take a look too. If I have time in the future, I can come with Qingshu so that I don't mistake the tombstone."

"Okay, let's do it that way."

Once they had completely disappeared from sight, Lin Fengjiao jogged to the tombstone, knelt down and kowtowed without saying a word. Just as she was about to say something, she looked up and was stunned when she saw the photo on the tombstone.

"Huh? Why is this a young girl? Shouldn't she be the godmother? Could it be that the godfather's daughter died? What does that have to do with Qingshu? Why is he crying so sadly?"

My gaze fell on the ashes of the paper money, and a question lingered in my mind.

Lin Fengjiao glanced at the time. If she didn't go back to cook soon, she would be late. It wouldn't be good if Qingshu found out that she was following them. It would seriously affect their relationship.

Thinking of this, I quickened my pace and ran towards home. When I reached the street corner, my forehead was covered in sweat. I quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe it off, and after catching my breath, I went upstairs and returned home.

When Shen Qingshu saw her return, he glanced at her and asked tentatively without changing his expression, "Wife, you went to buy groceries. Why are you so late?"

Lin Fengjiao said with a hint of complaint, "Sigh, it happened when I was buying vegetables. The vendor weighed the vegetables wrong, and I found out. I argued with him for a bit, and he gave me a bunch of scallions to settle the matter."
