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

Liu Dongmei narrowed her eyes dangerously. Thinking of that scoundrel who hadn't been around all afternoon, she couldn't suppress her anger. She casually threw the person on the ground and turned to leave.

Tiger shuddered and muttered, "Lizard, it's not that I'm covering for you, it's just that your tigress looks too fierce, I'm scared too."

"You'd better pray for yourself. I'm going to hide for a while too, and come back when things calm down."

He nimbly scrambled to his feet, calling out, "Mom and Dad, I'm going to my wife's house for a couple of days. I won't be back for a while, so please don't call me unless it's absolutely necessary."

Liu Dongmei quickened her pace and hurried towards the town. By the time she arrived, it was already dark, and her face was even more terrifyingly dark than the night. She went to the address Hu Zi had given her.

She stood at the door and knocked. The door opened quickly, and a gentle and beautiful young woman was holding and comforting a baby in her arms. She seemed a little surprised to see her.

"Hey girl, who are you looking for?"

"...You must be Widow Liu. I'm looking for my husband, Lai Zi, Jiang Erniu from Xiangyang Brigade. Could you please call him out? If it's inconvenient, I can go in and find him myself."

Widow Liu was taken aback upon hearing this. Looking at the woman's fierce body, she realized that one punch from her could probably send her and her daughter flying. She swallowed hard, afraid that the woman might actually hit her.

The voice also lowered, and they simply stepped aside.

"Young lady, they're having tea in the courtyard. You can go find them. I'm sorry, I should have sent them back earlier."

Liu Dongmei strode in, her voice ringing out: "It has nothing to do with you. It's my fault for not controlling my man. I'll take him back and discipline him properly."

The coldness in the voice made Liu Mei shiver involuntarily, and she silently lit an incense stick for Lai Zi.

She comforted herself, telling herself it was okay. She had only taken advantage of a small amount and hadn't actually slept with these men. She figured the girl wouldn't kill her, and she could just return the money.

Several men in the courtyard were still making lewd jokes, gesturing wildly: "My God, did you see that just now? Those breasts are huge."

She reached out and grasped at the air, saying, "I can't even control it with one hand. I really envy her deadbeat husband. It's a pity he died young and had no good fortune. Otherwise, he could have just built a house and still lost it all."

"That's right, she's a good woman. She was kicked out by her husband's family and struggled to raise her child alone, but she refused to abandon her child and remarry. Why didn't we have such a good woman?"

"She's pretty, gentle, and fair-skinned. She has big breasts, a big butt, and is really strong. She has such a nice voice. When she calls me 'brother,' I feel like half of my body goes tingly."

The monkey excitedly gestured and said, "By the way, Brother Lai Zi, why aren't you saying anything? What are you thinking about? You're not thinking about your tigress, are you? Haha, how does she usually take care of you?"

Lai Zi's face darkened: "Who wants to think about that androgynous thing? It's ugly as hell, and it talks like it's being blasted from a megaphone, it hurts people's ears."

"If it weren't for the need to carry on the family line, I wouldn't even want to touch her. She's as boring as a dead fish in bed."

"If it were Liu Mei, I could keep going all night. But it's not her. Sleeping with that tigress is torture every time. I can't even get aroused if I don't want to be like Liu Mei."

The more he talked, the more aggrieved he felt, and his voice became even more out of control. Monkey and the others were initially happy to listen to the commotion, but soon their smiles froze, and they just stared blankly at the person who slowly walked up behind Lai Zi.

It was as tall as a small hill. Just standing there, they felt as if someone was choking them, making it hard to breathe, and they unconsciously softened their breathing.

The scoundrel kept rambling on, completely oblivious to the unease that was about to strike. When he finally realized he was feeling a bit cold, he rubbed his arms and asked the people opposite him, "Aren't you feeling a little cold?"

"Why is everyone so quiet? Weren't you talking so enthusiastically just now? Monkey, didn't you say your wife is a chatterbox? We're all so pitiful, none of us have a wife as good as Liu Mei."

The monkey's eyes were practically popping out of their sockets as it kept giving him meaningful glances, urging him to look behind him, "Brother, look behind you!"

The tigress is standing there, don't you feel anything? This atmosphere is too suffocating, they have to run away quickly, otherwise they'll get beaten up too.

She slowly got up, clutching her stomach, and pretended to be in pain: "Ouch, my stomach hurts. You guys keep chatting, I need to go to the toilet. Talk slowly, talk slowly."

The others also offered their own excuses: "Yeah, my mom can't poop either. I'll go back and poop there. I'm leaving now. We'll talk again next time, Brother Laizi."

One by one, they walked toward the door with various excuses, leaving Laizi completely bewildered: "What nonsense is this? Dali, your mother was buried last year, so where did this 'your mother can't poop' thing come from?"

I felt a breeze on my neck, warm as I breathed.

The leper's body suddenly stiffened, his neck cracking as he looked behind him. Meeting a pair of fiery eyes, his pupils contracted sharply, and he instantly jumped up: "Holy crap, what are you doing here?!"

He was about to run away when Liu Dongmei grabbed his collar, flashing a bright white smile: "Tell me, what did you do here? How much did you spend?"

"If you don't explain yourself clearly, I'll skin you alive today!"

Lai Zi's body trembled involuntarily: "No, no, I just came here with a few brothers to have some tea. We really didn't spend any money or buy anything."

Liu Dongmei grabbed the back of his neck with her other hand and pinched his chin, pressing him towards the stone table. The table, which was covered with things, was so glaring that he couldn't say a word.

His lips moved, and he weakly tried to deny it: "...I didn't buy any of those. Honey, what are you doing here? I'll go home with you right now, okay?"

"Is there anything you'd like to eat? I'll take you there."

Lai Zi flattered, "Come on, I know a place that makes really good food. Let's go eat there now. You must be hungry after coming all this way to town."

Liu Dongmei glanced at the few people who were watching the commotion by the door, and she couldn't contain her anger any longer. She grabbed the back of her collar and headed for the door.

"You guys, don't run away. Tell me clearly how much money he spent and what he bought."

Liu Mei tactfully said, "Little sister, I'll pack it up for you right away. Take everything Lai Zi bought back with you. From now on, Lai Zi, you should come here less often. Now that you have a wife, live a good life."

"Look how worried your wife is about you so late at night. She even came all the way from the countryside to town. You two should go home soon."

"Hey little sister, come over for dinner sometime."

Looking at the smiling, sweet-talking woman, Liu Dongmei felt even more depressed. It's hard for any man not to like a woman like that—gentle, witty, and beautiful.

Holding her child, Liu Mei quickly packed her things, wanting to get rid of the plague as soon as possible; she didn't want to be beaten.
