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

Wen Yao hummed in agreement. She understood this normal inquiry. Without special circumstances, it was not allowed to thoroughly investigate all of a person's relationships.

Her basic information is very clear: her specific address, age, education, the time she went to the countryside as an educated youth, when she got married, etc., at most the name Jiang Lie appears.

However, it's not so easy to find out about her family members before she changed her surname; it requires an approval process, but she's not worried about that.

Guo Zheng put the list away and said seriously, "Don't worry, I don't have the authority to check your family's information, nor will I. I only know the basics about yours and won't look into anything else."

Wen Yao hummed in agreement: "I know, Director Guo, please have your meal."

"As for the medicine, after you finish your meal, I will prepare two doses for you to take back and try. If you are satisfied with the effect, then you can decide on the quantity to order so that I can prepare the materials to make the medicine."

"OK."

Half an hour later, after finishing their meal, Wen Yao and her companion took the person home and handed them a box.

"There's a list inside, with the name of every medicine and its effects clearly written down. Director Guo, please take it back. You know my home phone number."

"If you've decided how much to order, just call us directly. That will save you the trouble of making multiple trips. Of course, you can have someone pretend to be a patient to pick up the medication."

"If the quantity becomes too large later on, we'll go through the open procurement process, drive over to pick it up, and set up a shop in town so that no one will suspect anything."

Guo Zheng smiled and praised, "Not bad, young lady, you've thought things through very carefully. You're a talented person. It would be great if you could work in our department."

Wen Yao said softly, "Thank you for your consideration, but I just want to live a peaceful life. I don't want to be involved in things that people are constantly watching. That kind of life isn't for me."

"Alright, it's getting late, I'll take the medicine to Old Chen's place now. You guys should get some rest too. I'll talk to you about placing the order later."

"Girl, how much are these medicines? I'll give them to you."

"No need, this is for you to test the drug, you don't need to pay. You'll only be charged when you place an order."

Seeing that she really didn't want it, Guo Zheng didn't insist and quickly left with the box.

Jiang Lie closed the door and led his wife into the house: "You must be tired. Sit here and rest for a while. I'll go boil some water to wash up. Get some rest early."

"Once the orders come in, we'll definitely be busy again."

"Okay, you've worked hard. I'm going to take a nap."

After he left, Wen Yao lay on the bed with her eyes closed, pondering how much merit she would need to apply to the organization for a reinvestigation, to help her family clear their names and return to the capital.

Lost in thought, I drifted off to sleep without realizing it.

When she woke up again, she still felt something was wrong with her body. She couldn't help but let out a soft moan. She noticed that the top of her head was shaking. She raised her hand and scratched it a couple of times, her breathing a little labored.

"Ah Lie, why did you do this while I was asleep...?"

Jiang Lie gripped her slender waist with both hands, his breathing heavy: "Hmm, I saw you were asleep, so I was going to help you wash up, but you were sleeping too soundly and didn't wake up."

"Wife, I'm innocent! It's not that I wanted to mess with you. You were clinging to me and touching me non-stop, and I got aroused. I didn't expect you to want me so much even when you're asleep."

Wen Yao was suddenly bumped and couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah, be gentle!"

After the rain stopped, Jiang Lie held her in his arms, gently patting her sweat-dampened, smooth back, and said in a hoarse voice, "Wife, once the orders from the National Security Department stabilize, our income will be much more stable."

"Well, once their orders stabilize, we can easily earn a hundred or so yuan a month without any problem, and it won't interfere with my ability to treat other patients. I still prefer making money by supplying medicine."

"It's legal and compliant, and the money comes quickly. There's no need to worry about the black market. It's just not suitable for large-scale development, lest it get out of control. My drug production volume is enough to supply Director Guo and his team."

Wen Yao leaned against him, listening to his heart pounding like a drum, and felt a sense of peace. "Ah Lie, can I tell you about my family's affairs after things have settled down?"

Jiang Lie nodded: "Okay, my wife wants to cooperate with the National Security Bureau. Taking the risk is for their sake, right?"

"Yes, so that they can be safe as soon as possible."

"So they're not that safe now?"

"It's a bit tough, but there's no danger to my life. The Ministry of State Security is a great opportunity. They'll count me for the credit I earned from manufacturing the medicine they used."

Wen Yao placed her hand on his chest, stroking his muscles, and said softly, "Wait a little longer. If all goes well, the merits we've accumulated this year will be enough. Once they are completely safe, I'll take you to see them."

It's not a good time to meet. My parents and brothers are all respectable people, and they're in a sorry state from working in the forest. They certainly don't want to see their son-in-law like this.

"Okay, I'll listen to my wife. I need to work harder at hunting too, otherwise I won't be able to earn as much as she does."

"Haha, you're so cheeky. Why are you making such a fuss about what's mine and what's yours? Hey, give me a back massage, it's so sore."

Within two days, Guo Zheng made a phone call and placed an order for two hundred. The young couple started working on it, mixing medicinal herbs with those from Yaogu to make the medicine more effective.

This busy period lasted for several days, from morning till night without a break. Even Baozhu was pulled in to help process the medicinal herbs.

Jiang Baozhu shook her aching wrist and yawned: "Sister-in-law, is it enough to process all these medicinal herbs? That's a lot. This will probably keep us busy for a few more days."

Wen Yao nodded: "Yes, it should be done in three more days. I'll settle your wages then, twenty yuan."

"Wow, really? I get a salary too?"

"Of course, we can't let you work for free. It takes up your free time, and you haven't had time to rest, so this payment is only fair."

"You'll get twenty yuan a week. If we get more orders in the future, the price will go up. What do you think?"

Jiang Baozhu smiled brightly: "Hehe, of course I have no objection. This is much more worthwhile than working. I can earn twenty yuan in just a few days. Working in town only earns thirty or forty yuan a month."

"This won't interfere with my housework or cooking, so it's a great deal. Thank you so much, sister-in-law, for giving me this opportunity to earn money. I will cherish it and work hard. I won't be taking any more embroidery work."

Wen Yao nodded and said softly, "Don't take that one. Embroidering at night is too hard on your eyes. You'll lose your eyesight as you get older, and you won't earn much money. It's better to get some rest at night."

Jiang Baozhu replied obediently, "Okay, sister-in-law, you're so kind."

The door creaked open, and Jiang Lie entered, holding a bamboo tube. He emptied its contents onto the courtyard floor, his brow furrowed slightly. "Wife, do you recognize this insect?"

Wen Yao walked over, squatted down, and examined it carefully.

He poked at it with a stick a couple of times: "I think I've seen this in a book before... It's a locust larva, but these larvae usually live in moist, warm riverbeds, where they molt and then fly away."

"Where did you find so many unmolted chicks? Are you going to feed them to chickens and ducks?"
