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

Jiang Baozhu introduced with a smile: "Oh, this is Wen, the educated youth. She came to town with me to buy things. We hit it off and got along well, so we strolled around together."

Jiang Zhiqiang nodded and said, "Okay, then wait here for me. I'll go buy some food for you to take back."

"Second brother, no need, you really don't need to buy it for me."

"Silly girl, you're my only sister. It's rare for you to come to town and run into me like this, so I have to buy it."

"Wait for me."

The person quickly walked away.

Jiang Baozhu whispered, "Sister Wen, this is my second brother, my own brother. I have two older brothers. Don't you think there's a big difference between my second brother and my eldest brother?"

Wen Yao gave a soft "hmm": "Your second brother doesn't look too good. Has he been weak since he was a child?"

"As expected of a doctor, you could tell at a glance that my second brother was a premature baby with a weak body. He almost didn't survive when he was young. It was my eldest brother who gave up school to go into the mountains to hunt and earn money."

"The whole family spent all their money to slowly support my second brother. Later, my second brother did well in school and came to work at the supply and marketing cooperative in town. He also found a wife who worked at a cotton mill."

Jiang Baozhu said with a smile, "You'll get to know her once you're married into the family. My second sister-in-law is a bit arrogant, but since we're not together every day, it doesn't really matter."

"Between sisters-in-law, it's enough to keep appearances together."

Jiang Zhiqiang quickly came over with some things: "Here you go, little sister. The osmanthus sugar tastes good, it's brand new and you like it, right? Also, take the brown sugar back with you to nourish your body."

"Alright, it's getting late, I should head back now. Come over for dinner another time if you're free."

Jiang Baozhu nodded: "Okay, I know, Second Brother. Take your time going back."

"Yes, it's nothing."

"Sister Wen, let's go too."

"it is good."

The two women got into the donkey cart and followed them back. Zhang Jing looked at them curiously: "Wen Yao, when did you become so familiar with Baozhu? They seem to have a very good relationship."

Wen Yao hummed in agreement: "We chatted and found we clicked really well. She's like a younger sister to me, and I like her a lot."

"Oh, I see. What did you buy? Is there anything delicious? Wen Yao, what kind of candy did you buy last time? It was really good."

"It's chocolate, I brought it over a long time ago."

"It must be very expensive."

"Um."

Jiang Baozhu blinked, somewhat curiously: "Sister Wen, what is chocolate? Isn't it a kind of candy?"

Wen Yao nodded: "Yes, it's a kind of candy. I have some more. If you like, I'll get them for you later so you can try them."

"No need, that would be too kind of you."

"It's okay. Chocolate will melt if you don't eat it for a long time, and melted chocolate doesn't taste good."

Jiang Baozhu smiled brightly: "Alright then, I won't be polite."

Zhang Jing licked her lips, looking a little tempted: "Wen Yao, can you give me some too? That tastes really good! I've never had such delicious candy before."

"Sorry, I'll go back and check. If there's a lot, I'll give you some; if not, we can talk about it later."

The smile in her eyes faded slightly. She didn't like being asked for things, especially by Zhang Jing, with whom she wasn't very close. If it were Baozhu, she would just eat it since they were family.

Let's forget about giving it to Zhang Jing.

The donkey cart quickly arrived at the brigade. Wen Yao led Jiang Baozhu to the educated youth compound, unlocked her mahogany chest, took out a box and handed it over: "Take this back and eat it."

Jiang Baozhu was somewhat surprised: "It's a bit heavy, there's too much in here, I..."

"Shh, take it home and eat it, be a good boy."

Zhang Jing's voice came over: "Wen Yao, why are you walking so fast? I can't keep up."

Upon seeing the box in Jiang Baozhu's hand, his eyes lit up and he quickly stepped forward, reaching out to take it, but ended up empty-handed.

Jiang Baozhu looked at her with a half-smile: "Zhang Zhiqing, this is something Sister Wen wanted to give me. It's not appropriate for you to reach out and snatch it."

"...Oh, I didn't steal anything. Wen Yao and I are best friends. When she went to the countryside, she was all alone, and I was the only one who was willing to go with her."

"Hehe, if Zhang Zhiqing has nothing else, please move aside. I'm leaving."

Zhang Jing looked at the box of chocolates, hesitant to speak, but ultimately said nothing. She watched as Wen Yao walked out of the educated youth compound, and when she looked back at Wen Yao, her eyes held a hint of resentment.

"Wen Yao, aren't we best friends? You gave the whole box to Jiang Baozhu. She's the brigade leader's daughter, and she's not the same kind of person as us educated youth from the city."

Wen Yao smiled but didn't say anything, and bent down to tidy the bed.

"Hey, why aren't you saying anything? Or do you have a problem with me? When did you become close to Jiang Baozhu? Are you not going to be friends with me anymore?"

"Nothing of the sort, don't overthink it."

Zhang Jing's attention was immediately drawn to the new fabric she had taken out, and she leaned closer to examine it: "This fabric is really nice, Wen Yao, are you making a dress?"

"Yes, it's for making a dress."

"This piece of fabric is quite big; it should be enough to make two. Since we're such good friends, why don't you make one for me while you're at it? We can wear matching outfits when we go out."

"Once people see it, they'll know we're good friends, isn't that great? They won't keep making fun of the black birthmark on your face anymore."

Wen Yao looked at her with a deep gaze: "Is that so? I don't care if people say I'm ugly behind my back, as long as they don't say it to my face. If they do say it to my face, I'll tear their mouth apart."

He added meaningfully, "Especially those who gossip behind people's backs, if I find out who it is, I will never let them off the hook."

Zhang Jing's lips stiffened for a moment, but she quickly changed the subject: "That's right, anyone who judges people by their appearance is rude. What's going on between you and Lin Qingqing? Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Zhang Zhiqing, you're very curious, aren't you?"

"Oh, no, I was just asking casually. You used to call me Jingjing, why are you suddenly calling me Zhang Zhiqing? It sounds a bit distant."

Wen Yao smiled and said, "Oh, I didn't pay much attention. Do you want to take a nap?"

"No need, I'll go for a walk and find some wild berries to bring back for you to try."

As he spoke, the person picked up a small basket and went out.

Lin Qingqing walked in, glanced at the figure, and immediately looked away, not daring to look again. Thinking of the scene of being choked that day, she felt a little scared.

She looks so gentle, I never expected her to be so ruthless.

Jiang Baozhu skipped home, sat under the eaves, and opened the box. Inside were gold-wrapped pearls, but inside the pearls were black. She took a bite and the smooth pearls went down her throat.

It tastes very different from other candies; it's the most unique one she's ever eaten, and it's really delicious.

Zhang Shuhua carried the vegetable basket into the yard and saw that her little girl's mouth was all black from eating, looking like a little kitten. She couldn't help but laugh: "Baozhu, what are you eating?"

"Mother, you're back."
