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

Wen Yao's eyes reddened, and she struggled with all her might, but a woman's strength was no match for a man's. She was about to be dragged into the cornfield, and her heart was filled with despair.

She never imagined that the accident would lead to someone targeting and plotting against her, and she never expected that a fellow educated youth would actually help Lai Zi plot against her.

The leper chuckled, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

The thought of such a beautiful woman becoming his wife, which he could have without spending a penny, made him wonder if anyone would still call him a good-for-nothing.

Just as the leper was at his most triumphant, a sudden male voice rang out: "What are you doing?"

Wen Yao was startled and subconsciously widened her eyes to look over. She saw a man carrying a hoe walking over. His figure was as big as a small mountain, and his sweat-soaked clothes clung tightly to his bulging muscles.

Looking at the man's fierce face, she remembered that this was Jiang Lie, a hunter in the brigade and the brigade leader's son. Thinking of this, she hurriedly called out.

"Save me, please save me! I don't know Lai Zi at all. He's trying to harass me. Please save me!"

Lai Zi's expression changed drastically when he saw the newcomer. He swallowed hard, fear in his eyes, and smiled ingratiatingly, "Jiang Lie, it's you. Wen Yao seduced me."

"Otherwise, why would I have taken a liking to this ugly woman? She said that as long as I help her work and earn work points so that she can have enough to eat, she will let me sleep with her. Otherwise, why would I be in this cornfield?"

The man approached step by step, casting a shadow. He glanced at the female educated youth struggling to break free, then coldly said to the leper, "Let her go."

Lai Zi squinted slightly: "Jiang Lie, we're from the same brigade, we grew up together. Are you trying to ruin my plans? If you don't interfere today, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, a large hand reached out and gently pinched the leper's arm, causing him to instinctively release his grip.

Wen Yao instinctively hid behind the man, anxiously saying, "I have absolutely no relationship with him. He's the one who wants to force me into marriage. I've never made him do any work for me, not once."

"He also teamed up with Lin Qingqing, a former educated youth, and took advantage of the opportunity to bully me while I was weeding in the cornfield today. Please help me."

Hearing the trembling, soft voice, Jiang Lie's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained expressionless: "It's alright, don't be afraid. He can't hurt you with me here. Let's go find my father."

He grabbed Lai Zi's arm and dragged him, saying, "Come on, let's get out of here first. I'll talk to that Lin Zhiqing separately. This matter must be resolved today."

"You bastard, if you dare to ruin our brigade's reputation, I won't let you off the hook."

The leper struggled fiercely: "No, Jiang Lie, you madman, let me go! If you let me go, I'll tell you a secret."

Wen Yao's body stiffened, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Lai Zi became even more excited and shouted, "Jiang Lie, do you know that this woman's birthmark is fake? She's more beautiful than any of the girls around here. If you'd seen her, you'd want to have her too."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Jiang Lie slapped him hard across the face, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and his head began to spin.

"You idiot, it's none of your business whether she's pretty or not. Stop embarrassing our Xiangyang Brigade. She's happy to have a birthmark on her face, whether it's real or fake, it's none of your business."

Upon hearing this, Wen Yao felt as if her heart had been struck by a hammer, a bittersweet pain lingering in her chest. Her outstanding appearance, which she had possessed since childhood, was no longer a blessing but a curse to her.

No female classmates wanted to play with her at school; they were jealous, hostile, and bullied her. Male classmates fawned over her, and if she didn't want to, she would be deliberately isolated.

My nose stung, and tears welled up in my eyes.

Finally, Jiang Lie dragged Lai Zi to his father, explained the situation briefly, and his father knew how to handle the rest.

The brigade leader called Lai Zi's parents together and gave them a severe scolding: "Look at the son you raised! Other urban educated youths went to the countryside to provide support, but your son tried to take advantage of them."

"Luckily it didn't happen, otherwise if they pursued it, it would be considered hooliganism. Does your son want to eat peanuts?"

"They still think that urban educated youth are easy to bully, just like us country girls. Once the deed is done, they're considered wives. Fools, they're all fools."

The leper's parents looked at the furious brigade leader and shrank back, not daring to utter a sound.

The brigade leader pointed at them and said, "Hey, I'll say it again, don't cause any scandals in the brigade. These educated youth will go back to the city later. If you really cause any trouble, you'll be in trouble."

"Your only son has been killed, so you two can expect to be childless. The other educated youth suffered a loss and returned to the city. You can completely pretend this never happened. Think about it carefully."

The leper's parents nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, you're right, Captain. It's all our fault for not disciplining our son properly. I'll keep a close eye on him when we get back and I won't cause you any trouble."

As he spoke, he dragged and pulled, trying to take the only child away.

The captain shouted, "Stop! I told you to leave. You've startled people. Don't expect compensation!"

"Wen Zhiqing, how about thirty yuan in compensation? Consider it a lesson for him. If he dares to do this again, I will not let him off easily."

Wen Yao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to the captain."

She knew when to stop while she was ahead. After all, they were from the same brigade and village, and the brigade leader was already being very kind. If the other brigade leaders insisted on protecting her, it would be a different story.

She really had no choice.

The leper's parents paid compensation and then ran away, dragging their yelling son along.

The captain's gaze swept over Lin Qingqing, his brow furrowing. "Lin Qingqing, aren't you going to explain anything?"

Lin Qingqing swallowed hard and gritted her teeth, saying, "Captain, I was wrong. I'm willing to pay compensation. It's all because Wen Yao has always been so arrogant. I just couldn't stand her."

Jiang Lie snorted coldly: "If you don't like someone, you'll ruin their reputation. Lin Zhiqing is really vicious."

"Dad, Lai Zi did something wrong, but he doesn't have the brains to know that even if we all went to work in the fields, when no one was in the cornfield, we should have ambushed Wen Zhiqing and delivered him to Lai Zi."

"This Lin educated youth is even more vicious. I think we should compensate him with fifty yuan. More money will teach him a lesson."

Lin Qingqing looked at him in disbelief: "You, you're protecting that ugly monster, why?"

Jiang Lie said expressionlessly, "I only care about fairness, nothing else. You'd better obediently pay up, or I'll let the educated youth institute know about this and see if they dare to come near you again."

"you……"

Gritting his teeth, he said, "Fine, I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you."

Wen Yao took the eighty yuan they had paid as compensation, watched Lin Qingqing's angry figure run away, then turned her gaze back and handed the money to Jiang Lie: "Thank you for saving me, this money should be yours."

"If it weren't for you, I would have been in trouble today."

As she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks, a sight that broke one's heart.

Jiang Lie quickly turned his face away and took a step back: "No need. In the end, it was my fault for not keeping a good eye on Lai Zi. You should be compensated with this money. For the sake of your reputation, it's best not to let this matter get out."

Wen Yao hummed in agreement: "I understand."
