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

Liu Dongmei carried a large bag of things, and her eyes were like knives as she looked at Lai Zi, as if she wanted to chop him up.

This scoundrel handed over all his money. Where did this money come from? He hides a little bit of his own money and won't spend a single penny on his family, but he turns around and spends it on other women. It's utterly ridiculous.

"Tell me, where did you get all this money from over the years? Don't tell me you borrowed it."

Lai Zi hurriedly shook his head and honestly said, "No, no, it's because my parents feel sorry for me and give me pocket money occasionally. You saw Liu Mei, right? She's pitiful taking care of a child alone."

"I just had a moment of weakness and bought some things to come over and check on things. Honey, I promise you, I have no improper relationship with her whatsoever."

"Let's go home now."

Seeing that she didn't lay a hand on him in front of his brothers, Lai Zi breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, he had managed to save the little face he had left.

After the two men had walked away, the group exchanged glances and looked at each other in bewilderment: "Hey, do you think Lai Zi will get beaten half to death by his wife if he goes back like this?"

"Who knows? Lai Zi is really unlucky. He didn't marry a wife at all. She's more like a demon that's keeping him in check. She doesn't look like a woman at all."

"My life is so miserable, so incredibly miserable."

Liu Mei bounced her daughter in her arms and forced a smile: "It's getting late, you should go back and rest early too. Keep your wife happy, and harmony in the family will bring prosperity."

"Next time you come, buy less. Just sit and have some tea. I'd love for you to come and chat and have some fun. Don't spend money. Earning money isn't easy."

The men were deeply moved. Monkey patted his chest and assured them, "Mei'er, don't worry about that. We're not like Lai Zi; we don't have such fierce wives at home."

"It's just spending some money, what's the big deal? Can't a grown man spend his money? What's the point then?"

"Sigh, I'm just worried about your wives nagging you."

"It's alright, we know what we're doing."

Lai Zi was being dragged along by Liu Dongmei, his body staggering and very uncomfortable: "Wife, don't pull me like that, I can walk by myself, what kind of man is dragged around like this?"

"And another thing, I gave all those things away, and you brought them back. I'll lose face. They'll definitely say I'm stingy and petty. I'm a man, I have to save face."

Liu Dongmei didn't stop walking. Upon hearing this, she sneered, "Fool, what kind of scoundrels have you made? They look down on you because of this, and you shouldn't have associated with them in the first place."

"You don't learn good things, but insist on learning from those shady characters. After all these years, what useful things have you learned? It's all a waste of time."

"Well, you can't say that. We're brothers who get along well. What do you, a woman, know?"

The leper broke free from her hand and walked on with his head down.

Liu Dongmei quickly caught up with him, taking three steps at a time: "Give me the rest of the money, I'll manage it. If you need to spend it, just tell me where you want it."

"I'll give you money for reasonable expenses, but not for spending money on other widows. Do you understand what I mean? You can use this money to buy clothes for your parents."

"You're out of your mind to spend money on strangers."

Lai Zi was humiliated by what he'd been told, and since it was dark and no one was around, he couldn't help but shout, "Liu Dongmei, don't go too far! I'm your man, the head of the household!"

"I have to be mindful of your attitude even when I'm spending money. Why should I? You never give me a kind look. I can't breathe in this world. What's wrong with me finding some fun for myself?"

"I haven't done anything to wrong you, so why are you interfering so much? It's so annoying, go away."

Liu Dongmei opened her mouth as if to say something, but then caught a glimpse of the green beast's eyes in the woods out of the corner of her eye. She narrowed her eyes and said nothing, letting him walk ahead on his own, following at a leisurely pace.

The scoundrel jogged a short distance, glanced back at the person a hundred meters away, and snorted, "I can spend my money however I want, it's none of your business."

"If you're so capable, go and ask for it every time. We'll see. Let's see if you or I are in charge of this household. Can a woman get by without manners?"

"Fine, if you're going to be a man of integrity, then spend money however you want, no problem. From now on, don't talk to me, and don't beg me."

"Tch, fine, I don't want to ask, who's afraid of you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, wolf howls echoed from the woods, and pairs of bright green eyes were fixed on them.

Upon seeing this, the mantis's pupils contracted, and he nearly jumped up, his voice almost splitting into two: "Wolves, a pack of wolves! Help! Help!!"

I took off running forward. The moonlight shone down, making it hard to see the road clearly. I tripped over a pothole and fell heavily to the ground, twisting my ankle. I gasped in pain.

Liu Dongmei walked unhurriedly, casually picking up a wooden stick about the thickness of her wrist from the roadside, and brushed past him as if she hadn't seen him.

Seeing this, the leper hurriedly called out, "Wife, wife, don't go! I sprained my ankle. Come and carry me back. Don't leave me here alone. I'm afraid of the wolves."

Seeing that she was still walking forward as if she hadn't heard him, Lai Zi gritted his teeth and pleaded, "Wife, I was wrong, really. I won't be stubborn anymore, okay? You can't leave me."

"If something happens to me, you'll become a widow. If word gets out, your reputation will only get worse, and who would dare to marry you again? We're family."

Liu Dongmei glanced at the pack of wolves emerging from the woods, ignoring their approach, and said quietly, "Is that so? Didn't you look down on me? Didn't you refuse to talk to me or ask me for anything?"

"Just handle it yourself, what are you afraid of? At worst, you'll lose an arm or a leg. Just feed the wolves and it'll be over. Just bear with it."

"How could a tigress like me be qualified to save you? I didn't see anything. Good luck to you."

"As for being a widow, it doesn't matter. I don't care. My reputation is already as bad as it gets, so one more thing doesn't matter."

The leper was stunned by what he heard. As the green eyes drew closer and closer, his mental defenses crumbled little by little, and he crawled toward her, howling.

"No, please, wife, I beg you, I was wrong, I really was wrong, I'll listen to you from now on, I won't do it again."

"Waaah, don't let them come any closer! I don't want to be eaten by them! Honey, please save me! I promise I won't go anywhere else. I'll learn to be good, okay?"

Liu Dongmei reached out and pulled the person behind her, coldly saying, "Remember what you said today. If you dare to go back on your word, see how I deal with you. Go to the side and stay there. If you get in the way, I'll beat you up too."

Lai Zi: "...??"

Soon, the dark figure pounced towards the wolf pack, her stick flashing like a blur. The wolves howled in agony, and even Lai Zi couldn't help but shudder. This woman was terrifying.

How dare he talk back like that? Help him, he'll never do it again.
