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

The leper's mother was taken aback and said awkwardly, "Mother, I didn't expect that ugly girl to be anything but ugly. You didn't say she was that pretty either, otherwise I would have proposed marriage to her long ago."

She thought to herself how lucky she was that she hadn't proposed marriage. Otherwise, if her son married a beautiful daughter-in-law, his heart would be with her, and what would become of her as his mother?

Although this woman is a shrew, at least her son still cares about his mother, which is enough. It's much better than marrying Wen Yao.

"Cough cough, you rascal, look, now that you've gotten married, you've forgotten your mother. I'm already very pleased. Take this money and spend it secretly, don't let your wife know."

Lai Zi's eyes lit up, and he quickly reached out and took it, grinning, "Good for you, Mom, you're so good to me."

The leper's mother smirked, about to give a few more instructions, when she saw her daughter-in-law's large figure approaching. She immediately lowered her head: "Quickly hide the money, don't let your daughter-in-law see it."

"Your mother loves you the most. She spends all her money on you and not on her. You must remember your mother in your heart, okay? You can't forget your mother after you get a wife."

"I know, I know, Mother, don't worry."

As the workday was drawing to a close in the afternoon, Lai Zi clutched his stomach and said, "Wife, my stomach hurts and I need to poop. Could you help me with the rest of the work? I'm too slow at it."

Liu Dongmei glanced at him indifferently: "Does your stomach really hurt?"

"Okay, I'll be right back. Let's hurry back tonight and make babies. You've finished the work in the fields. Let's try some new positions tonight."

"Well, you're smart enough to know what's good for you. You should go to the outhouse now. I'll take care of things here."

Lai Zi nodded obediently, turned around, clutched his stomach, and ran towards the outhouse. He went inside and secretly observed her. Only when he saw that she had her back to him and wasn't looking this way did he come out of the outhouse.

I plunged into the woods and ran along the path towards the town. I finally arrived as the sun was setting, exhausted and covered in sweat.

"Phew, I'm exhausted. It's not easy to come out like this. I need to hurry up and find Monkey and the others. I wonder if they're home."

Soon, a group of people gathered in the alley.

He chuckled and boasted, "Hey bro, I heard you got married. Why aren't you at home with your wife? What brings you here so urgently?"

Lai Zi waved his hand, raised his chin arrogantly, and said, "So what if I have a wife? Haven't you heard the saying, 'Brothers are like hands and feet, women are like clothes'? In this family, I'm the boss."

"She wouldn't dare to interfere with me. Let's go find the young widow today. Her calls of 'brother' are so sweet they melt anyone's heart."

The monkey laughed heartily: "I knew you liked this kind of thing, Brother Laizi. The little widow is so sensible, unlike my wife at home who's so annoying, always asking for money."

"She's so annoying with all her nagging. Now when I go to the widow's house, I feel alive again. Come on, let's go buy some things to take to the widow's house."

"Last time I heard her say that her child wanted to eat White Rabbit candy, so we went to buy some and brought them over. You guys should also buy some, hehe. I wonder if we'll give the White Rabbit milk candy to the child this time."

"Could we try the widow's big white rabbit? Just thinking about it is wonderful. Even if we can't taste it, it would be good to just look at it and have a good look at it. Not to mention she's calling me Monkey Brother."

The group burst into laughter: "Haha, Monkey, you're still so cheeky! Come on, let's hurry up and go buy some things. It'll be good to stay at the widow's house a little longer."

Lai Zi walked ahead, having bought a piece of cloth, peach shortbread, and two bags of malted milk powder. He swaggered into the last house in the alley, which was the young widow's house.

Knock knock knock~~~

A sweet, seductive voice rang out from inside: "Who is it~"

"It's your brother Lai Zi! Sister Mei, hurry up and open the door! We've missed you so much! We bought you lots of nice things, take a look!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Mei immediately opened the door. Her gaze swept over their hands, and her smile deepened: "Oh, my brothers, you're really something. You've come all this way, why go to such lengths?"

Lai Zi raised his chin, looking incredibly arrogant: "This is hardly a waste of money. Just hearing you call me 'brother' a few times is a bonus. Coming here is the most comfortable; it's much better than being at home."

If that tigress spoke in such a coquettish tone, would I hate her so much? Just imagining that scene sent a chill down my spine, and I shook my head to shake off the frightening thought.

The widow welcomed the group to sit down in the courtyard. The widow's original name was Liu Mei. Her child was only a few months old. After her husband died in an accident while building a house, she was abandoned by her husband's family and kicked out along with her child.

She had to breastfeed her child and couldn't find work, so she relied on hooking up with men. She got money and things, and the yard was rented for her by several men pooling their money.

She knew exactly what men wanted. She didn't actually have anything happen with them; as long as she kept them hanging on, they would look at her more favorably and be more willing to spend money on her.

She quickly changed into a sexy dress, her chest bulging, and swayed over with a teacup in hand, bending down to reveal a small patch of fair skin. The scent of milk wafted over her: "Come on, my good brothers, have some tea. I brewed it especially for you."

Liu Mei poured tea for them one by one. Knowing that Lai Zi had bought the most things today, she sat down next to him and put her hand on his arm, kneading it.

"Brother Lai Zi, is something bothering you today? You can tell me anything, I'm the best at comforting people."

Seeing this, the monkey couldn't help but tease, "Sister Mei is getting more and more S-type. This dress really suits you, it looks so good on you."

"But you can't solve my brother Lai Zi's troubles. It's a story full of bitter tears. My brother Lai Zi is such an upright person, but he's been ruined by a tigress."

"If you ask me, Lai Zi, you should have married Sister Mei instead. You would have been happy, she would have been happy, and you would have had a little daughter to raise. It's not like you have a son, which is much better."

Lai Zi rolled his eyes at him: "Hindsight is 20/20. If I had known I would marry that tigress, would I have acted sooner? I was completely unprepared."

The brothers were trying not to laugh.

Seeing this, Liu Mei's eyes darted around, and she leaned closer to Lai Zi's arm, saying softly, "Brother Lai Zi, who bullied you? I didn't know you were getting married."

"Oh, it's nothing, it's all in the past. We've only been married for a few days. That tigress is too strict. I haven't been able to get away from her. Just thinking about her makes me anxious."

"How have you been lately? Has anyone been giving you trouble?"

"Sigh, it's still the same as before. The neighbors all call me a slut, a jinx, a widow, and so on. I'm used to it. As long as my daughter can live, that's all that matters."

As she spoke, she wiped away her tears, which touched the hearts of the men present.

Lai Zi patted her hand and couldn't help but take out some money: "Here's twenty yuan. Buy some chicken soup to nourish your body, you still need to breastfeed your child, right?"

"You can't do this without money. As for what those people are saying, you don't need to pay any attention to them. They're just jealous that you have a man who dotes on you. Your man died young anyway, so what does it have to do with you?"
