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

The elderly couple exchanged an awkward glance. They had been woken up late at night by their daughter and son-in-law, all because of the issue of not sleeping in the same room. Sigh, Jiang Lie is something else.

Such a big guy, doesn't he know how to try to win over his wife? It's a matter of familiarity, so there's no use asking them.

They can't force their daughter to sleep with their son-in-law, can they?

She didn't show it on her face, but looked at her son-in-law and sighed: "Son-in-law, don't be angry. We only have this one daughter. She was spoiled since she was a child, so she was a bit unreasonable."

"Here's what we'll do. I'll have your mother-in-law talk to you. You're married now, so naturally you should live a good life together. It was definitely wrong of my daughter to stab you."

"I apologize to you on her behalf, please don't be angry anymore, okay?"

Looking at his father-in-law's appearance, Jiang Lie suppressed his pent-up anger a little. He closed his eyes and felt very ashamed. Was he really that much of a failure? His wife didn't even want him to touch her.

The mother-in-law pulled her daughter to the side room and whispered, "Fengjiao, tell me honestly, why won't you consummate your marriage with your son-in-law? It's been three years! How can you let him endure this?"

"If a man can endure this for three years, he truly loves you to the core. Don't be reckless, or he'll become heartbroken and leave you."

"Oh, Mother, no way. I grew up with him since I was little. How could I not know him? He's just cold-faced but soft-hearted and easy to bully. Who told him to be illiterate and look so fierce?"

"You're already married, it's not good to keep dragging this on. The first time it hurts a bit, but it gets better afterward. What's wrong with a little hunter being a bit big? Once you're healthy, you'll understand this kind of happiness."

Lin Fengjiao looked disgusted: "No, I hate illiterate people the most. Anyway, I don't want to consummate the marriage or have children right now. Let him try touching me."

The mother-in-law looked at her daughter, then suddenly remembered something and tentatively asked, "Wait a minute, you've always been unwilling to consummate the marriage, you wouldn't still be thinking about that Shen Qingshu, would you?"

Seeing that her daughter remained silent, the mother-in-law's heart sank even further.

He reached out and grabbed his daughter's hand, somewhat anxiously: "Are you crazy? He's already gone back to the city. There's no way he'd marry a country girl like you, understand?"

"Besides, you're already married to Jiang Lie. If he finds out you still have another man in your heart, this matter will be impossible to resolve. What are you thinking? Have you lost your mind?"

Lin Fengjiao turned her face away and said stubbornly, "It has nothing to do with Brother Qingshu. I just don't like Jiang Lie. You all said he was a good and reliable person, but he turns out to be a quiet and rude guy."

"Mom, do you know? He's illiterate, he eats very loudly, he's too rude for me to tolerate."

The mother-in-law felt a tightness in her chest. Looking at her daughter, she knew that if things continued like this, the two of them would be doomed sooner or later. She patiently advised, "Fengjiao, listen to your mother. Jiang Lie is really a good man."

"His father is the brigade leader, and he's good at hunting, earning money, and working in the fields. Most importantly, he likes you and is devoted to you. You'll regret missing out on a good man like him."

Lin Fengjiao scoffed and said disdainfully, "What's there to regret? With his beast-like body, he could scare people to death. It's only because I don't mind that I'm willing to marry him."

"I thought I could accept it after I got married, but on our wedding night, I... I was terrified. If we were to consummate our marriage, I would die. It was too scary."

"Oh, Mom, don't worry about it. He's just making a fuss on purpose. He doesn't want to divorce me. There are girls prettier than me all around. He's just secretly happy."

Seeing her daughter so stubborn, the mother-in-law was so angry that her chest ached. She reached out and tapped her forehead, saying, "You, you'll regret this sooner or later, sigh."

"Tell me the truth, are you still in contact with that Shen Qingshu? If you are, go back and burn the letter, understand? From now on, live a good life with Jiang Lie."

"Stop thinking like that. If Shen Qingshu really had feelings for you, he wouldn't have stayed away for three years, you know? He's just keeping you hanging on to ruin you."

Lin Fengjiao wouldn't listen to reason and wouldn't allow anyone to speak ill of Qing Shu. She said resentfully, "Mother, I don't need you to interfere. In any case, if Jiang Lie comes looking for you in the future, just pretend you didn't hear him."

She pushed her mother aside and walked into the main room, her little face red and swollen, staring at him with resentment in her eyes, and said in an unfriendly tone, "Why don't you hurry up and go home? All you do is tattle, you're such a useless piece of trash."

The father-in-law, hearing these outrageous words, raised his hand to strike again.

Lin Fengjiao instinctively hid behind Jiang Lie, and said indignantly, "Father, who is your daughter? Why are you hitting me? What did I do wrong? He can't make me willing to sleep with him."

"Does this mean that every time I don't want to, he'll come here to complain and make you force me to sleep with him? How shameful!"

"Hmph, are you coming or not? If not, I'll go back by myself. If there's any danger, you'll feel guilty for the rest of your life."

He then ran out.

Jiang Lie stood up, feeling stifled.

Seeing his son-in-law like this, the father-in-law sighed and said, "It's all our fault for spoiling our daughter. This is how a girl who hasn't become a mother is. She'll be fine once she has children."

"Just be patient and coax her a bit. Be gentle with her in those situations. Practice makes perfect, and she'll get used to it eventually."

"Go home early, hide the scissors in the house, and remember to treat your wound properly. Don't let it get infected and cause a fever; that's no joke."

The mother-in-law said softly, "Let's not talk about divorce anymore. If we keep talking about it, it might actually happen. You're married now, so just live your life well. Fengjiao is a bit spoiled."

"She's been the prettiest girl in the surrounding area since she was little, and she's always been pampered. Son-in-law, please be patient with her. Her temperament will improve once she has children."

Jiang Lie grunted and said in a muffled voice, "Father, Mother, I'm going back. I'm sorry for waking you up so late at night."

Now that the anger has dissipated, I realize I was indeed a bit impulsive. It's shameful to talk about not consummating the marriage, and what good would it do to ask my father-in-law?

Ultimately, it's a matter between husband and wife. If the wife is unwilling, even if they are forced to consummate the marriage, it will only create resentment.

The elderly couple watched their son-in-law chase after their daughter, sighed in unison, and closed the door with some worry: "Husband, what are we going to do? Our daughter is such a worry."

"She's still in contact with that young gigolo who's returned to the city, which is why she's been reluctant to consummate the marriage with her son-in-law. I'm afraid that if this continues, the truth will be exposed sooner or later."

"Sigh, what can we do? We've tried hitting her, we've tried scolding her, but that girl has her son-in-law completely under her thumb. She's so stubborn. Life is really tough for her."

The father-in-law waved his hand, saying, "I can't control it, I can't control it."

Jiang Lie quickly caught up with his wife and reached out to take her hand, but she forcefully shook him off.

Lin Fengjiao said fiercely, "It's all your fault. My father has never been willing to hit me since I was a child. If you hadn't gone back and complained, would I have been beaten?"

"My face is all swollen. If the swelling doesn't go down by tomorrow, how am I supposed to face anyone?"
