If you don't consummate the marriage for three years and then marry a successful educated youth
Chapter 39 Treating Knee Wounds
"Okay, I'll do it. You just sit still."
Jiang Baozhu finished treating the wound with trembling hands, then bandaged it again. Looking at the ugly bandage, she scratched her head, a little embarrassed: "Ahem, Sister Wen, is this bandage okay?"
Wen Yao said weakly, "Okay, a simple wrap will do. Baozhu, thank you for bringing me back."
"It's okay. I've already talked to Dad. He told you to rest at home. He'll find someone else to do the straw hat weaving. Just get some sleep and don't think about it too much."
"Change your pants, I'll wash them for you, otherwise the bloodstains will be harder to remove once they're dry."
"Oh, no need, I'll wash myself when the pain subsides."
Jiang Baozhu pretended to be angry and said, "No way, sister-in-law, you're being too polite. My brother told me to take good care of you before he went hunting. Washing some pants is nothing."
"I treat you like family, like a sister-in-law. Don't be shy with me. Just lie down and go to sleep. I'll go wash you."
Seeing that she said that, Wen Yao felt a little embarrassed and didn't want to keep refusing. "Okay, thank you very much, Baozhu. Go to my box and pick out what you like to eat later."
"I like to buy things, but I can't eat much by myself, and it won't keep well in this hot weather. You can take some snacks back with you."
Jiang Baozhu swallowed hard. She could refuse anything else, but when it came to food, she couldn't resist.
"Ahem, then I won't stand on ceremony."
She happily took the pants to the yard and washed them with great effort. After drying them, she returned to the house and thoughtfully poured a teacup of hot water, placing it by the bedside: "Sister Wen, this is convenient if you want some water."
"Do you need to use the restroom? I'll bring you a basin, and I'll empty it after you're done."
Wen Yao's eyes widened slightly: "Ah, no, thank you for your kindness, Baozhu, but I really can go to the toilet by myself. I don't feel anything right now."
"Here, open the box and choose what you like to eat. This is the key."
Jiang Baozhu grinned and said, "Okay, then I won't be polite. Thank you, Sister Wen."
Upon opening the box, a wonderful aroma of sponge cake wafted out, clearly indicating it was freshly purchased; even overnight cakes wouldn't be this fresh. Swallowing hard, she said, "Sister Wen, I want to eat sponge cake."
"Yes, take them all. Give some to your uncle and aunt. They've been working hard and need something to eat to tide them over. They're so hungry they're getting anxious. These were originally bought for you."
"There's also candy, take that too."
When Jiang Baozhu left, she smiled like a child who had just eaten candy, and skipped away.
Wen Yao watched her retreating figure and couldn't help but smile. Perhaps it was because she had seen so much deceit and hypocrisy in the big city that she preferred the simplicity of the country folk.
Yes, she really likes the personality of the brigade leader's family. They are clear-headed, discerning, and don't discriminate against girls. Baozhu is also very cute. It's great.
I lay down with my eyes closed, my knee wound throbbing slightly, and soon fell asleep.
When the educated youth returned in the evening, they noticed that she was walking somewhat unnaturally. Their eyes fell on her knees, and their expressions were complicated.
Chen Yuting, who was usually not close to anyone, strode over and reached out to help him up: "We've all heard about how you saved people. You're really amazing."
With admiration in his eyes, he said, "I never expected that we would have such a skilled doctor in our educated youth compound. It's truly remarkable."
Wen Yao said softly, "It's nothing. I only saved someone in a moment of desperation. I wasn't sure if it would work, but I had to try anyway. After all, it's a life."
Chen Yuting: "Yes, you're right."
Lin Qingqing's tone was somewhat sour: "Yes, they really know how to hide things. They know how to use a birthmark to hide their face, and they even hide their medical skills. They're really cunning. We can't compare to them."
"Hidden? When did I hide my medical skills? Don't you know about the bottles and jars in my box? You guys were resting at night, and you saw me preparing medicinal herbs."
"You say I'm hiding things? Shouldn't you check your own eyes? Can't you see me, an adult, processing medicinal herbs?"
Staring wide-eyed: "You, you..."
Wen Yao smirked, showing no sign of backing down: "How was it last time you farted? If you miss it, why don't we do it a few more times?"
Lin Qingqing was furious when she heard this, but she didn't dare to provoke her. If she did it again, she would lose all face.
Taking a deep breath, she threatened, "We'll see. What are you so smug about? When you get married and can't have children, let's see what you'll use to satisfy your in-laws."
After saying that, he stormed off in a huff.
Chen Yuting glanced at her and then looked away: "Don't bother with her. She's just petty and jealous of your good looks and abilities. Now that you've married the brigade leader's son, she's unhappy about it."
Wen Yao hummed in agreement: "Thank you, Chen Zhiqing."
"It's alright. I'm used to being a loner, so it's rare to meet someone I click with. You can come to me if you need anything in the future. My family used to run a martial arts school, so I'm pretty skilled."
Who wants to offend someone who knows medicine, especially a good one? In this rural area, having someone with medical skills can save your life in a critical moment.
Chen Yuting naturally wanted to make more friends with him, especially since this person was really to her liking—frank, generous, sharp-tongued but not pretentious.
Wen Yao thanked her softly, "Okay, thank you, Yu Ting."
The two returned to the house.
Here, have some water.
"it is good."
"Wen Zhiqing, you have excellent medical skills and are so beautiful. Why don't you stay in the city? I really like the countryside, but it's still a bit tough for a young girl."
Wen Yao took a sip of water and said with a smile, "It's nothing. It's just that after graduating from university, I ran into some problems at work. I had nowhere to go and didn't want to get married, so going to the countryside would be the most suitable option."
"Compared to gambling half a lifetime on marriage, a little hardship in the countryside is nothing. Besides, the people here are very simple, and it's easy and comfortable to get along with them."
Chen Yuting raised an eyebrow. The people here are simple-minded. When they get angry, they can directly curse the other person's ancestors. They are always swearing.
"Chen Zhiqing, why aren't you in the city with such good skills?"
"I did it out of spite. I've always been better than my brothers since I was little, and my father never interfered with my martial arts training. I was the one who usually managed the martial arts school. I never expected that he would want to marry me off after I grew up."
"My brothers were going to squander the martial arts school, so I signed up to go to the countryside in a fit of anger. It's not enough to just be right under their noses."
Wen Yao hummed in agreement: "That's true. There's probably still some preference for sons over daughters. Family businesses are generally not left to daughters."
Chen Yuting nodded calmly: "That's right. Even if I'm more outstanding than my brothers, it's useless. I can't agree to take a son-in-law. Anyway, as long as my brothers are around, it's not allowed."
"Forget it, I won't argue anymore. I'm tired of managing the martial arts school all these years. I'll take my share of the money and let them do whatever they want with it. I won't make things difficult for myself."
