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

Wen Yao smiled and said calmly, "Yes, if that's really the case, it's a good thing. If the country really relaxes the college entrance examination, then it won't be long before the educated youth return."

Her family will soon be exonerated, and those who acted recklessly before will likely be purged. Things will be chaotic for a while, so it's good for her parents and brothers to stay in the countryside to avoid trouble.

It's better to suffer a little than to be dragged into a whirlpool.

Seeing that she was lost in thought, Chen Yuting waved her hand in front of her face: "Wen, what are you thinking about?"

Wen Yao snapped out of her daze and shook her head: "It's nothing."

Not long after, Jiang Lie returned with a small basin of goat milk: "Wife, let's go home and feed the puppies. They must be hungry. I've already arranged with my aunt to buy goat milk from her for the next two weeks."

"Okay, let's go back first."

Chen Yuting, carrying the dog in her hand, said, "This one is dead. I'll go bury it, otherwise it will stink if it rots outside."

"Um."

The two returned home, put the two puppies on the ground, put goat milk in a bowl, and watched as the two little ones closed their eyes and came over to lick it, drinking it happily.

Hearing that sweet, adorable voice, Wen Yao's heart melted: "So cute! It would be nice to have two dogs to guard the house in the future."

"Hunter, what are you looking at?"

"It's nothing, I just think the fur color of these two dogs is a bit off. They're both gray. Aren't mongrels usually yellow, brown, or black? Gray is quite rare."

Jiang Lie looked at it carefully but couldn't figure it out: "Forget it, let's raise it and see. We'll be able to tell when it gets bigger. We can't have wolf cubs in the brigade, can we?"

Wen Yao smiled and said, "That's probably impossible. But I've never actually seen wolf cubs before. They're probably two dogs with unusual fur colors."

"Keep an eye on them and make them some goat milk. I'll go make them a nest. It's cold on the ground at night, and they're not even a month old yet. They'll easily get sick and die if they sleep on the ground."

"Okay, you go ahead and do your work, I'll keep an eye on things."

Some rough fingers tapped their little heads: "You must be dogs. What am I thinking? That whining dog sound."

Wen Yao found an old cotton-padded jacket, simply rolled it up and sewed it into a nest, then put it inside the palm-leaf fan, where the little puppy could climb in and sleep.

After the two puppies finished eating, they lay on the ground, their bodies wobbling and their heads lolling to one side, and fell asleep.

"Ha, I'm full."

Holding the two little ones in their nest, she asked softly, "Ah Lie, let's name them. What would be a suitable name?"

"As for me, I've only just started learning to read, and I don't know many characters. You should name me, my wife. In the countryside, we can just give me a simple name, as long as it's auspicious and easy to pronounce."

Wen Yao thought for a moment and said, "Since there are two, how about we name them 'Bringing in Wealth and Treasure'? This one has a tuft of white hair on its head and looks a little bigger than the other one, so let's call it 'Bringing in Wealth'."

"Let's name the other one Jinbao. That way, you can tell they're brothers just by hearing it. It's also auspicious and sounds good. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lie's lips curled slightly: "Alright, we'll listen to my wife. This name is very suitable for the two brothers."

"Honey, it's getting late, let's get some rest."

Wen Yao met his burning gaze and her face flushed slightly: "Okay, then get some rest. I'll go wash up and be right back. If you're sleepy, go to sleep first."

Sleep first? That's impossible. He hasn't slept with his wife for quite some time, and just thinking about it makes him feel incredibly aroused.

Ten minutes later, Wen Yao returned. She had just sat on the bed when her wrist was suddenly pulled away. Before she could react, she was sitting on his waist and abdomen, feeling the burning heat.

Suddenly unsure what to do with his hands, he said, "You, Ah Lie, let go of my hand first, I'll turn off the light."

Jiang Lie pulled her hand to his lips and lightly kissed it, his eyes blazing with murderous intent as he scanned her face and body inch by inch. His voice was hoarse: "Don't turn off the lights. I want to take a good look at my wife."

"You promised me before that you would give it to me when we got home, and I could do whatever I wanted. You keep your word, don't you, my wife?"

Wen Yao turned her face away, her ears turning bright red: "I never said that, you said it yourself, you're lying."

A tightness gripped her waist, and a gentle pressure was applied to the back of her neck. A man's intense scent filled her face, and her lips were lightly bitten. She opened her mouth to retort, but couldn't utter a single word.

Under the dim light, the intertwined shadows of the two were projected onto the wall. They continued their lovemaking until late into the night before finally stopping, by which time Wen Yao had long since fallen into a deep sleep from exhaustion.

He took a deep breath and turned his face away; he couldn't continue, his wife couldn't take it anymore.

The night passed quickly. In the morning, Wen Yao opened her eyes and looked out the window. She sat up, and a wave of soreness and numbness surged up in her waist and abdomen. She couldn't help but groan, "Damn it, it's so sore."

The door creaked open, and Jiang Lie's eyes lit up when he saw that she was awake. He sat on the edge of the bed, staring intently at her: "How are you, wife? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

"I've applied the medicine for you. If you're still not feeling well, go to sleep. If there's anything to do around the house, just let me know, and I'll take care of it."

Wen Yao glared at him, reached out and twisted the soft flesh of his waist, and snorted: "What do you think? Three days of rest, I don't think we can go anywhere today."

"Don't be so unrestrained next time. Let's go to town together tomorrow. I want to see if I can buy some cotton so I can make another quilt before winter. What do you think?"

"If you're home, the heat is high, so we'll use a thin blanket. If you're not home, I'll use a thick blanket, otherwise it'll be too cold in winter and I won't be able to keep warm."

Jiang Lie held her hand and played with it; it was so soft and smooth.

"Okay, whatever you say, wife."

"What about bringing in wealth and prosperity?"

Wen Yao threw off the covers and got out of bed to see if she could get rich, but she couldn't muster any strength in her legs and almost knelt down. Luckily, a hand reached out and supported her waist.

Jiang Lie was glared at again, but he smiled and said, "It's my fault that my wife is weak. I'll carry you to the yard to see the 'Fortune and Treasure' animals. They've eaten their fill and are sleeping now."

"I still think the fur color doesn't quite look like a dog's."

"Haha, who cares? Let's keep them. If they're really wolves, we'll keep them if they're obedient, and deal with them if they're disobedient and hurt people."

"My wife is right, let's go."

He was lifted into the air and picked up.

Jiang Lie carried her to a reclining chair under the eaves of the house in the yard: "Wife, it's very comfortable to lie here and enjoy the breeze. I'll clean up the chicken coop today, and we'll put the droppings in the vegetable garden."

"We're not going anywhere today. We'll clean up the yard, and I'll wash the sheets and blankets. You can just ask me to do whatever you want, honey."

Wen Yao blushed slightly: "Okay, then go and get to work."
