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

Wen Yao didn't hear clearly and asked again, "Second Brother, what did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly. Please say it again."

Gu Chong shook his head: "It's nothing, I was just saying it casually. As long as he's good to you now, that's fine. But you should also be careful and not rush into having children within the next year."

"Men can fake it. There are plenty of men who change their attitude quickly before and after marriage. If he treats you badly, we can take you away later."

"But it's complicated if you have children. You can't take them with you, and your heart will always be here. That will make life difficult in the future."

Wen Yao said helplessly, "Second brother, you're overthinking it. Since I've married him, I shouldn't be so scheming and calculating, otherwise how can I live like this?"

"As for the child, we've discussed it. It's not too late to have one next year. I know very well whether he's a good person or not. There's no need to use the child to test anything."

"Hmph, you're so stubborn. I don't know what it is about that rough man that you like so much."

Gu Chong tugged at the honeysuckle buds in a fit of anger, feeling stifled and miserable. How could his beautiful little sister be so stubborn, her heart truly devoted to that rough man?

My head hurts.

He secretly glared at Jiang Lie's back, then gave him a fierce glare, only to have the other man suddenly turn around. Their eyes met, and Gu Chong was taken aback when he met those fierce eyes.

A chill ran down my spine, my heart skipped a beat, and I stiffly turned my head, my hands trembling as I picked the honeysuckle.

Jiang Lie raised an eyebrow and looked over, then stepped closer: "Wife, who is he?"

Wen Yao looked at the two of them and said softly, "He was sent by the director to help us pick honeysuckle. What's wrong?"

"Oh, it's alright, I'll pick some with you. As for this comrade, you should go pick some over there; there are plenty of buds there too."

"I don't……"

Gu Chong was about to refuse when he met the man's suddenly cold eyes, and he shivered, immediately backing down: "I'll go, I'll go right now, you guys take your time."

He turned and ran away swiftly.

Seeing her second brother's cowardly appearance, Wen Yao couldn't help but smile. The next second, her view was blocked, and she looked up at him: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Lie lowered his head slightly: "Wife, you smiled at him just now. Is he really that good-looking? What makes me inferior to him? He's weak and lacks any manly charm. He's not good-looking at all."

"ha?"

"You have a problem with him."

"No, it's just that I think these pretty boys are no good. They're only good-looking, but they can't do anything. Men need to be strong and capable so that women can have an easier life."

Gu Chong was not far away. Hearing him openly speaking ill of him, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He looked at his back with indignation. How could this bastard treat his brother-in-law like this?

Just you wait, he'll give him a good beating if he comes knocking on the door when he returns to the city.

By the way, we need to call a few more people; he can't beat them all by himself and will suffer a loss.

Wen Yao's view was blocked, so she couldn't see her second brother's expression at all, but she knew without looking that his face was definitely not good.

Second Brother, being so petty, must have kept a record of it. He looked at Jiang Lie with pity and said, "Shh, don't say anything. He was sent by the director to help out. Even if he's really frail, don't say anything."

"Alright, let's get to work. Let's finish picking them quickly so we can go home."

"The clothes I made for you are finished. Try them on when you get home. Some of the old ones had tears, so just throw them away. Wear the new clothes."

Jiang Lie waved his hand: "No need, I'm a man and I sweat a lot, new clothes will get old quickly, so I might as well wear old clothes and not feel bad if they get torn."

Wen Yao's attitude was firm: "No way, it would break my heart. How can my man wear tattered clothes? Look at your clothes, they're torn in several places."

"Be good, okay?"

"Okay, thank you, honey."

"Um."

Gu Chong stood not far away, watching his wife and her husband being so affectionate. As the older brother, his heart sank. He picked a handful of honeysuckle, chewed it, and tried to cool down.

She turned her head and quickly picked the flower buds with both hands, not wanting to look anymore. If she looked, he would be furious, and if he was furious, she still couldn't beat him, which would be even more frustrating.

After filling his basket with the harvest, Jiang Lie rode his bicycle home with his people.

One person sat there cleaning out the impurities from the honeysuckle, while the other chopped firewood. His voice came over: "Wife, I'm going hunting in the mountains tomorrow, so I won't be taking you this time."

"You're on your period, so just stay home and rest. Don't go into the mountains and cause trouble. If it rains, you'll suffer from getting soaked."

Wen Yao nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. When you go into the mountains, take the medicine I prepared for you, such as insect repellent, hemostatic medicine, and some poisons for self-defense."

"I separated them for you. The poison ones are labeled with a red skull on them, which makes them very easy to spot. They're mainly made from poisonous mushrooms, and the others are deadly when exposed to blood."

"The poison is so deadly that it kills on sight. Once you use it on an arrow, the prey killed cannot be eaten or taken down the mountain. You can bury it or throw it off a cliff, but the person cannot be eaten..."

I gave him detailed instructions and only felt relieved after seeing him nod.

the other side

Knowing that Jiang Lie was going hunting in the mountains the next day, Lin Qingqing waited until all the other educated youths in the house were asleep before slowly getting off the kang (a heated brick bed), opening the door, and groping her way towards the woods in the dark.

She dared not turn on her flashlight, fearing that she would be discovered by the people in the brigade. She was truly at a loss for words. She touched the spot where she had met the man before, took out her whistle, and blew two long and one short notes.

A few minutes later, a man with a gloomy face appeared, his voice low and deep: "Speak, what's wrong?"

"I found out that the brigade leader's son is going hunting in the mountains tomorrow. If you're in the mountains, be careful not to run into him. I don't know which mountain he'll be going to."

Ding Rui hummed in agreement: "I understand. There's one more thing you should inquire about. Talk to those old people and see if they know of any unusual places on this mountain."

"Tell me about places that nobody dares to go, places rumored to be very dangerous, and I'll give you extra compensation."

Lin Qingqing's eyes lit up. She had many siblings, and her parents had taken all the money she earned from going to the countryside. Naturally, she didn't have much extra money. This man was really generous with the money.

If we can establish a long-term partnership, I'll have a lot more money in my pocket, so the risk is worth taking.

"Okay, I understand. I'll think of something."

"If they find out, are you really going to go? If the people in the brigade say it's dangerous, then it must be very dangerous. What if something happens to you if you go..."

Ding Rui knew what the woman was thinking and said coldly, "Don't worry, we'll give you half the payment before we go. Even if something happens, it has nothing to do with you."
