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

Jiang Lie subconsciously waved his hand in refusal. Looking at his wife's fair and tender face, he couldn't bear to let her go to the fields to ruin it. That would cause her skin to peel from the sun, which would be so painful.

"No, working in the fields is too hard. You can stay home and process medicinal herbs, cook, and do laundry. I'll take care of the work in the fields. There's no need for you to work in the fields."

"I love how fair and tender you look. You can't get tanned. Besides, with your strength, it's hard work for you to do chores. I'd be worried about you ruining your health."

Looking at his sunburned face, Wen Yao said with heartache, "But I also want to help more. After dinner, take off your clothes and I'll check your sunburn and put some medicine on it, otherwise it will hurt a lot tonight."

Jiang Lie smiled and said, "Okay, my wife really cares about me. Instead of you doing chores, you should brew some cooling tea. Everyone will drink it and won't get heatstroke, and they'll have more energy to work."

"You're the only doctor in our brigade. If you get sick from overwork, who can the others turn to when they're sick? Don't worry, no one will say a word if you don't work in the fields."

"Okay, I know what to do."

Wen Yao saw him raise his hand, his gaze falling on the numerous cuts, and her heart clenched: "I'll wrap your hand with strips of cloth later, so you won't cut yourself anymore."

Jiang Lie smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to my wife."

I sat on a small stool in the room.

Wen Yao bent down slightly, carefully cleaned his scratches, applied medicine, wrapped them with a strip of cloth, and tied it securely. She instructed, "I'll change your dressing when you get back tonight. This way it will heal faster."

How long will the autumn harvest last?

"It will take about ten to two weeks. Now that there is no locust threat and the weather is dry, it will take about twelve days to dry them and store them in the granary."

"By the way, honey, if you have time, go check on the farm. If there are any problems, let me know and I'll take care of them after the autumn harvest. After the harvest, the farm will be ready for three months."

Jiang Lie thought for a moment and said, "If all goes well, they should be able to lay eggs in four months. We'll see how the quality is then. If it's good, I'll go talk to the restaurant about a collaboration."

"We'll sell chicken and duck eggs in the name of the brigade. We'll see how much we can earn before the start of winter. Half of that will be enough to repair the road. We have to do things step by step."

Wen Yao hummed in agreement, escorted the person to the door, and handed over a large bottle of cooling tea: "If you feel dizzy or unwell, drink more cooling tea. Don't push yourself; it's really too hot today."

"Okay, I got it. I'm leaving now. Honey, go back inside. It's hot outside."

"it is good."

After locking the door, Wen Yao washed and hung the clothes to dry, and also dried the medicinal herbs. She set up a pot in the yard and started brewing a refreshing tea, which she would then take to them once it was ready.

A knock came at the door.

Who is it?

No one spoke. Wen Yao frowned slightly, walked behind the door and looked through the crack. After seeing the furtive figure clearly, her face turned cold.

"Hey bastard, what are you doing here?"

The leper rubbed his hands together, looked around to make sure no one was watching, and then his smile became even more lewd: "Dr. Wen, please open the door. I've come to see a doctor; I haven't been feeling well lately."

"...Where does it hurt?"

"Yes, my stomach isn't feeling too well. Could you take my pulse and check me over a bit to see if there's anything wrong with me, and prescribe some medicine? Please open the door quickly."

Wen Yao glanced around, picked up a stick leaning against the wall, and said warily, "I have other things to do today, I'm not seeing a doctor. If you're not feeling well, come back tomorrow."

Lai Zi looked a little unhappy. He had finally shaken off that tigress Liu Dongmei, and Jiang Lie wasn't home either. Everyone else in the brigade was busy with the autumn harvest.

He naturally had to seize such a great opportunity. He could come to see the doctor and casually touch Dr. Wen's hand. She wouldn't dare to do anything if he took advantage of her. How wonderful!

Thinking of this, he smiled even more lewdly and urged, "Dr. Wen, please open the door quickly, I'm really feeling unwell."

"You're a doctor; treating the sick and saving lives is your responsibility, don't you think?"

Wen Yao noticed his furtive behavior and said, "Oh, wait a moment, I'll be right there."

Whether someone is faking illness or not, there's nothing that a handful of medicine can't solve. A person who can't move is naturally no threat.

Two minutes later, the person came and opened the door. Upon seeing the other person, his eyes lit up, and he immediately raised his hand and sprinkled the powder on the man's face. Before the man could react, he felt his legs go weak and he collapsed at the doorway.

His lips moved, and he mumbled indistinctly, "What...what did you do to me?"

Wen Yao came out and carefully observed his face. She couldn't see any sign of discomfort, so she immediately knew that he was faking illness in order to sneak into the courtyard.

He twitched his lips, deftly locked the door, and looking at the person who wasn't moving, smiled kindly and said, "You wait here, I'll go call your wife to take you back. There's nothing wrong with you."

"Just drink more water when you get home, it'll help detox."

When Lai Zi saw her about to leave, he was furious: "Ahhh, Wen Yao, you stand right there! Who told you to call my wife? Are you crazy? I really just came to see a doctor."

Wen Yao ignored it and quickly went to Lai Zi's house. She found Liu Dongmei, told her what had happened, and asked her to bring the person back.

"I'm really sorry about today. I didn't keep a close eye on him. I hope you're not angry. If he dares to harass you again, I'll break his legs."

"It's alright, I've already given the person the medicine. You just need to bring them back. This time it was just a little anesthetic. Next time, I can't guarantee what kind of medicine it will be, and it definitely won't be as comfortable."

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Liu Dongmei stood beside her, her nearly two-meter-tall frame making the person next to her look like a little girl. They quickly arrived at the courtyard gate, before she could say anything.

Lai Zi started wailing, "Wife, wife, please save me! I didn't do anything, and Wen Yao drugged me. What kind of doctor is she? Waaah!"

"Thank goodness you're here, honey. Hurry and take me to the doctor in town. Once we get the report, we'll see what I'm going to do..."

Two slaps landed on my face, instantly stinging with pain.

Liu Dongmei grabbed his hair and dragged him toward her home, her voice as cold as ice: "Didn't you say you needed to rest if you had heatstroke? How did you have the energy to come to Dr. Wen's house?"

"You bastard, I think you're itching for a beating. You haven't learned your lesson from last time, have you? Fine, I'll make sure you learn your lesson."

"To save you from embarrassing me all the time, I, Liu Dongmei, don't want people gossiping about me, do you hear me?"

Lai Zi said aggrievedly, "No, wife, I've been wronged. You're the only one in my heart. Don't easily believe other people's lies; they're all just trying to sow discord between us."

Liu Dongmei glanced back at him, raised her fist, and said with a half-smile, "It's okay, we'll go back and slowly cultivate our relationship, and see who's lying. What's there to be afraid of?"
