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

The father-in-law frowned slightly when he saw his son-in-law arrive. Before he could say anything, he saw that his in-laws had also arrived, and he had a bad feeling.

He said politely, "Oh, my dear in-laws, please come in. Why didn't you tell me you were coming? I could have asked Feng Jiaoniang to cook so we could sit down, chat, and have a drink together."

The captain smirked, "Brother Lin, my wife and I have important matters to discuss with you. No need for drinks, let's talk inside."

Lin Jianguo replied, "Okay, let's do it inside."

After everyone sat down, Zhang Lan brought over some tea and said, "Have some tea, in-laws. What brings you here so late? Did my Fengjiao upset you again?"

Zhang Shuhua looked at them and calmly recounted the events. She stared at their faces and, seeing that they only looked unwell and not particularly surprised, she understood what was going on.

Well, she thought that only her eldest daughter-in-law was bold enough to do this, and that her parents didn't know about it. Now it seems she was too naive.

His voice deepened: "Honey, let's just talk to our in-laws directly."

The captain nodded and said, "Okay."

He said in a deep voice, "Brother Lin, Sister-in-law Zhang, I'll be blunt. It's true that your daughter has someone in her heart and wants to remain chaste for Shen Qingshu, but she shouldn't have married my son."

"We spend his hard-earned money, make him do chores, and then secretly cheat on him. My eldest son is honest and kind, but we, as his parents, can't stand this."

"Let's call off this marriage between the two families. It's best to get a divorce sooner and find our own happiness. My son is getting old and we can't afford to wait any longer. My wife and I want to hold our grandson and take care of our child as soon as possible."

Lin Jianguo's face paled for a moment, and his eyes were full of disappointment as he looked at his daughter: "Come here, hurry up and kneel down to apologize to your parents-in-law, you good-for-nothing."

Lin Fengjiao stubbornly retorted, "Dad, what did I do wrong? Do they have any evidence? Why do they say I cheated on him? I'm still a virgin."

"……you."

"Brother Lin, your daughter is right. We can't wrong someone for no reason. The correspondence has a clear timeline and the recipient's address is also provided."

"If you don't believe us, we'll buy tickets and confront you face to face, but no matter the outcome, this marriage must end."

The brigade leader was adamant: "Our family can't afford to support your daughter, and she looks down on my son and our family. Then she can find someone she can marry well, no problem at all."

"But let's make this clear: my son has never touched her in the three years since she entered the family, and she manages all the money. This money must be returned, as well as the bride price."

"We're not going to be this sucker. If your family had made it clear from the beginning that your daughter had a man in her heart, we would never have married her."

The elderly couple panicked and hurriedly pulled their daughter down to kneel: "You brat, kneel down and apologize to your parents-in-law right now, say you know you were wrong, that this was a misunderstanding, say it!"

Lin Fengjiao was forced to kneel, and she became angry. She shouted, "I did nothing wrong! What did I do wrong? I just like Shen Qingshu, and I just hate Jiang Lie, that rough man."

"So what if I look down on him? What did I do wrong? Brother Qingshu said he would come and marry me. I want to be a city person. I don't want to marry a peasant. He's so dirty."

That's it, it's completely over.

The captain laughed in anger: "Ha, I really didn't realize you were such a heartless girl. Ask yourself how our family has treated you. We gave you a respectable wedding."

"After we got married, you did nothing but wash your own clothes and eat good food every day. My son never got a hot meal from you. You even gave me money to go out and have fun."

"Since you look down on our family so much, no one forced you to marry my son, right? You're just ungrateful."

A hint of guilt flashed in Lin Fengjiao's eyes as she struggled to get up. Making her kneel was an insult; these two old bastards were just forcing her like this, weren't they?

She stared at him with venomous eyes: "Are you two done talking? Whether I'm good or bad is a matter between husband and wife. Your son is a slut who's willing to fawn over me like this."

"Mother-in-law, I'm not trying to be mean, but you've never been pampered by a man, so you've always looked down on me. You're just jealous of me."

After he finished speaking, the living room fell into a deathly silence.

Jiang Lie closed his eyes briefly and took out a certificate from his pocket: "I won't count the expenses before the marriage. The wedding cost 236 yuan, and your expenses in the three years after the marriage were over 870 yuan."

"Round the difference, give me back my thousand yuan. Come over and sign and put your fingerprint on this. You can see the details of the expenses here yourself."

Lin Jianguo, disregarding his daughter, rushed over to examine the certificate, his fingers trembling: "Lin Fengjiao, you need to explain yourself clearly. How did you spend so much money in three years?"

"Did you send him money? Are you crazy?"

Lin Fengjiao stubbornly refused to say, "Fine, I'll pay it back. It's just a thousand yuan, it's no big deal. Don't be so petty."

"Jiang Lie, you'd better think this through. I'm returning this money to you, and we'll have nothing to do with each other anymore. Once we get the divorce certificate, it'll be too late for you to regret it."

Jiang Lie said coldly, "Don't worry, I won't regret it. I only regret that I found out too late and wasted time."

"Uncle Lin, this thousand yuan is all my hard-earned money. When are you planning to pay me back? As soon as the money arrives, your daughter and I will immediately get a divorce."

"Dad, I can't read. You watch them sign and put their fingerprints on."

The captain nodded: "Brother Lin, considering the long-standing friendship between our two families, it's best to resolve this privately. We won't tell anyone about the letters."

"From now on, the two of you should go your separate ways and not interfere with each other. It's your daughter's business who she wants to marry, and we won't interfere."

The two families remained deadlocked until the early hours of the morning before finally settling the matter. The Lin family signed the certificate, and Lin Jianguo took out the money he had saved to repay the debt.

Lin Fengjiao was left at the Lin family home, while Jiang Lie and his family of three went home and agreed to go to town the next day to get their divorce certificates.

The captain glanced at his son, who was not clearly visible in the darkness, and gently patted his arm: "Boss, this will all pass, don't dwell on it."

"When you're in a better mood, I'll have your mother find you a good girl, someone who can truly manage a household and knows how to care for others. Those pampered young ladies won't do."

"Well, we'll talk about that later."

"Okay, do you want us to go with you tomorrow morning?"

Jiang Lie shook his head: "No need, I can go with her by myself. The procedures will be quick. You don't need to worry about me. I've thought it through clearly. Divorce is a relief and saves me from being tortured."

Zhang Shuhua felt sorry for her son. What kind of situation was this? He was a man who wanted to live a good life, so why couldn't he find a wife who would also want to live a good life? Her son's life was too miserable.

After sending his parents home, he returned to his newlywed courtyard, lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) with his eyes open, lost in thought.
