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

Chen Yuting seemed to be thinking about something, and a hint of curiosity appeared on her face: "Wen Zhiqing, I'm actually very curious why you married Jiang Lie. Someone as smart as you couldn't possibly just want an easy life."

Wen Yao's lips curled up slightly, and her eyes softened.

"Because he has good character. I don't really care about his looks or family background. I think the most important thing is his good character, which is ingrained in his bones and will never change."

"Even if he doesn't like me anymore one day, he will still respect me and won't lay a hand on me. That's what I want."

Chen Yuting seemed to understand but not quite: "Is that so? But how do you judge a person's character? I've heard some things about Jiang Lie, and he is indeed a very good person, but you don't mind that he can't read?"

Wen Yao gently shook her head: "I don't mind. I don't know how to say it, but when you see that person, you only have one thought in your mind, it's him."

"If I don't get married, I will definitely regret it later. These things have nothing to do with external conditions, whether I am literate or not, or my family background."

"I get it, that feeling is called love at first sight, right?"

Chen Yuting couldn't help but chuckle: "Although I don't understand that feeling, someone as smart as you wouldn't misjudge someone. I wish you happiness."

"If you need your sisters to see you out, just let me know, and I'd be happy to do so."

"Okay, thank you."

"polite."

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Jiang Lie came down from the mountain after hunting, carrying a wild boar on his shoulder and a deer on his other shoulder. The long antlers of the deer made it clear that it was an adult.

As soon as they came down the mountain, the villagers surrounded them, chattering and exclaiming in surprise.

"My God, this deer is huge! If we sent it to the supply and marketing cooperative, we could probably sell it for over three hundred yuan. Jiang Lie's skills are truly amazing."

His gaze swept across the crowd, but he didn't see the figure he wanted to see. He pursed his lips, looking even fiercer: "Make way, I need to go find my father to get some meat."

Upon hearing that the meat would be divided, everyone nodded eagerly: "Yes, yes, we'll divide the meat! My family hasn't eaten meat in a long time. Jiang Lie hunted a really big wild boar. Our family can finally taste some meat."

"By the way, Jiang Lie, are you going to share this venison?"

"I can trade you something, eggs or an old hen, or even coupons if you want. You're getting married, right? You'll definitely need cloth coupons, right?"

Jiang Lie looked over; he was the one in the brigade who loved to take advantage the most. He shook his head and said, "It depends on how much the supply and marketing cooperative buys the venison. Don't take the bones home to eat."

With that, he hoisted his prey and strode away.

When the brigade leader heard that his son had returned, he rushed to a plot of land in the threshing ground and grinned from ear to ear at the two large stalks: "Wow, today's harvest is really good!"

"I'll have someone divide the wild boar meat so each family can take some home. You can keep the deer blood separately; that's a treasure."

"Yes, I put it away separately."

Jiang Lie nodded, glanced at her out of the corner of his eye but still didn't see her, his eyes dimmed for a moment, and he said nothing.

The captain chuckled and said, "Alright, then hurry up and take the deer blood and this deer to the supply and marketing cooperative. See which parts they want, and bring the meat back if they don't want it."

"Share some with everyone, keep some for yourself, and also give some to the educated youth at the educated youth compound so they can have a taste."

"Okay, I'll go see what they want from the deer. If the price they're offering for the meat isn't reasonable, I'll bring it back and share it with everyone. Deer meat is warming and good for your health."

Jiang Lie, carrying the deer alone, couldn't help but lean close to the captain and whisper, "Father, have you seen Wen Yao?"

The captain smiled meaningfully: "Silly boy, when you've finished dealing with the deer, personally deliver the meat to her. She's injured her knee and can't come out easily."

"How did she get injured? Who bullied her?"

"No, your wife is very capable. She has excellent medical skills. When Xiaodouzi fell into the water and was about to die, she actually brought him back to life. I heard that she knelt on the stones to save him, and her knees were worn raw."

"Your sister has been taking care of her these past two days, and she should be almost fully recovered. I haven't let her go back to work yet. You two are getting married soon, and our family doesn't need her to work hard in the fields."

Jiang Lie was a little worried: "Okay, I understand, Father. I'll go sell the deer first, and then I'll go see her later."

The captain waved his hand: "Okay, go ahead."

They quickly processed the deer meat, taking what the supply and marketing cooperative wanted, and brought the rest back to distribute to the brigade. The pieces were neatly arranged, and everyone obediently lined up to collect their meat.

Venison is more expensive, so those who want venison get half the amount of wild boar meat compared to those who want wild boar meat. Unless it's an elderly person in the family who needs to nourish their body, most people will choose wild boar meat.

The educated youth were very happy; they hadn't expected to get a share.

On the way back, they said, "It's really good. Xiangyang Brigade is much better than other brigades. Usually, the hunters in the brigades don't share meat with the educated youth. The brigade leader is a really good person."

"Yes, I also saw so much venison. If it weren't for the fact that it's only half the size of wild boar meat, I would have liked to try it."

When they reached the courtyard gate, they saw Jiang Lie carrying several kilograms of meat and talking to Wen Yao in the courtyard. They quickly looked over at them.

The educated youth coughed lightly and hurried back into the house.

Wen Yao blushed slightly, a little embarrassed: "There's too much meat, I can't finish it and it'll spoil easily, and it's just a small kitchen, so it's not convenient to cook."

Jiang Lie nodded and said, "I know. Then let's cook in our wedding courtyard. You can use the small kitchen there all by yourself, so you can eat whatever you want."

"This is venison, which is good for your health. I can't always catch it, so this is a rare opportunity. Come with me to the courtyard and we'll stew it to nourish your body."

"Won't this... cause you trouble?"

"I'm fine. I don't care about dividing the meat after hunting; Dad and the accountant handle that. This is my share, and I can't finish it all by myself."

Seeing that he was staring intently at her, Wen Yao felt it wouldn't be right to refuse again, so she nodded gently: "Okay, let's go over there and cook this. Let's go."

When Jiang Lie saw that she had agreed, a glint flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and hummed in agreement.

The two walked one after the other.

Lin Qingqing clung to the doorframe, biting her fingers with a look of jealousy and resentment: "I also want to eat venison. That Wen Yao is so cunning, going out with a man to eat alone."

A soft voice came from behind: "Tsk tsk, look what I just heard. You're so jealous you're practically bubbling with jealousy. What those unmarried young people do is none of your business."

"Want to eat venison? Then you should find a hunter as your fiancé. You can't stand seeing others have it if you don't have one."

Chen Yuting's words were blunt and hurtful.

Lin Qingqing turned around and glared at her: "Chen Yuting, what do you mean? What does this have to do with you? Why are you so eager to fawn over Wen Yao? What benefits has she given you?"

"There's no benefit to it, but I'm happy to do it. What's wrong with me liking her?"
