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

"Boss, let me make this clear: there's no going back on this. You can't just let it go easily, or people will treat you even less like a human being."

"This green hat can't be tolerated. It's better to suffer a little loss now than to suffer a greater loss later. You have to be able to take it and let it go."

As the captain spoke, he tried hard to suppress the urge to smile. Although his son looked a little pitiful, he still wanted to laugh. Why didn't he listen to them a little back then?

Jiang Lie realized this and felt even more frustrated.

"Dad, laugh if you want to, don't hold it in and make yourself sick."

"Haha, no, no, Dad just thinks my son has finally come to his senses. It's good that he's single-minded; it's the stubborn ones who are really a headache."

"Does your arm still hurt? You need to take care of the wound to prevent it from getting infected and festering."

"I'm fine, this little injury is nothing."

The team leader told his son to go home, get everything ready, and wait until after dark when he finished work, have a full meal, and then talk to his wife about it, seeing his wife's furious expression.

He gently patted her arm and comforted her, "Honey, don't be angry. I think this is actually a good thing. If she had kept it a secret, the child wouldn't have been our son's."

"That was truly vicious. They were going to drain our son dry. We should be grateful that she was exposed so early."

Zhang Shuhua glared at him and said irritably, "Laugh? You can still laugh? Can't you see how much our son has suffered? For more than three years, our family has been made a fool of."

"I really underestimated Lin Fengjiao. I never expected that the Lin couple, being such honest people, would raise such a daughter. They are truly remarkable."

"When are you going to Old Lin's house? I can't wait a second longer."

The captain smiled, his eyes revealing a strong sense of authority.

"The sooner the better. This matter cannot be delayed. You know our eldest son is a simpleton. He looks fierce, but he's actually a softie. I'm afraid he'll soften if we wait too long."

"If that woman tries to coax us and destroy the evidence, wouldn't we be in a very passive position? I think we should do it tonight."

Zhang Shuhua understood her son's temperament and was decisive: "Okay, tonight it is."

After discussing it, the couple decided to go later. They reasoned that if they went now, they might be seen by others, which could lead to a big fuss, embarrassment, and unforeseen complications.

It's best to resolve things privately and avoid creating enmity.

Lin Fengjiao didn't return until almost dark, carrying fabric and food. She had spent all the twenty-odd yuan she had taken with her, and her bad mood from yesterday was gone.

Humming a song, he entered the house and called out, "Jiang Lie, I'm thirsty, get me a glass of water."

No one answered. Lin Fengjiao was a little annoyed. After entering the house, she looked at the person sitting still and said impatiently, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me calling you?"

Jiang Lie looked up at her and calmly asked, "You're back. How much did you spend today?"

"Why do you care about that? I'm your wife, it's only right that I spend your money. What, are you feeling sorry for me?"

He curled his lip in disdain: "If you really care about money, then don't get married. What's the point of getting married if you can't afford to support someone? Look at how stingy you are, really."

Lin Fengjiao put the things away, humming a song as she opened the mahogany box. She immediately saw the empty envelope inside, her expression changed drastically, and her heart skipped a beat.

He subconsciously glanced at the seated person: "Jiang Lie, did you touch my letter?"

"Yes, I can't move."

Jiang Lie looked at his wife rushing over, reached out and grabbed her hand that was about to slap him, and said expressionlessly, "What's wrong? Just because that letter is shameful, does that mean I can't see it?"

Lin Fengjiao panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down and sneered: "You think you can read letters? You're an illiterate person who can't read, all you can do is recognize numbers, what are you trying to read?"

"Let me go and give me back the letter right now."

Don't panic, don't panic. He definitely doesn't know what's on it. What can an illiterate person understand? Don't scare yourself.

"Who was that letter addressed to?"

Jiang Lie said with a burning gaze, "Lin Fengjiao, I'm giving you one last chance. If you're willing to be honest, I can let this matter go and give this marriage another chance."

Lin Fengjiao retorted stubbornly, "Nobody's here. I'm just writing letters to my good friend who's married and lives in another city. Why are you, a grown man, so curious about that? Meddling in other people's business is not like being a man."

"Heh, you've thought it through, you're sure you're sisters."

"...Of course, what is there that I can't be sure of?"

Jiang Lie released his grip and straightened up: "Alright, let's stop here then."

Hearing this, Lin Fengjiao's heart skipped a beat, and unease welled up inside her: "What do you mean? I'm your wife. Do you suspect me of something? If you really suspect me, then fine."

"I will teach you to read, and you can read the letters yourself from now on."

"Teach me to read? No need."

He had thought about learning to read before and even wanted his wife to teach him, but she always refused, either calling him stupid or being impatient.

Over time, he lost confidence in learning.

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was awkward when a knock came at the door.

Lin Fengjiao urged, "Go open the door and see who it is. What are you spacing out for? Are you slow-witted?"

Jiang Lie ignored her words and opened the door to bring his parents in. The three of them looked at her and said, "Let's go, let's go to your parents' house to talk about something, don't waste time."

"Going to your parents' house again? Jiang Lie, are you crazy?"

What are my in-laws doing at my house?

Zhang Shuhua looked at her eldest daughter-in-law as if she were a stranger, and said coldly, "Of course we have something to discuss with your parents. You should come along too, so the two families can sit down and talk it over."

Lin Fengjiao's heart skipped a beat: "What do you mean? What do you want to discuss?"

"You'll know when you come, and it's up to you if you don't want to come. Just don't even think about taking those letters back."

"letter!!!"

Her voice suddenly turned shrill: "Jiang Lie, you stole my letter, didn't you? You thief, give the letter back to me right now, or you can forget about sleeping in the house."

Jiang Lie: "Father, Mother, let's go to the Lin family. Let's settle things quickly, complete the formalities, and then have her move out of my house."

Zhang Shuhua nodded approvingly and said, "Boss, you've finally figured things out this time. Let's go, if she doesn't want to come, so be it."

The three of them went straight out the door. Lin Fengjiao was completely flustered. She stamped her foot and chased after them, reaching out to grab Jiang Lie, but he dodged her and she missed.

He softened his tone: "Brother Hunter, what can't we talk about at home behind closed doors? Why do you have to come to my house? Don't you want to live with me anymore?"

Jiang Lie hummed in agreement: "I'm tired, I don't want to live like this anymore."

"Lin Fengjiao, you have no conscience. If you can't warm up someone, then hand them over to someone who can. I don't want to waste my days anymore."

The four of them arrived at the Lin family home quickly.
