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

Wen Yao was taken aback by his words, then nodded: "That's right, Ah Lie, you're so smart. Your perspective makes a lot of sense. Ah Mei is indeed too weak."

"How can you expect a wicked man to feel guilty about her death and punish the bad guy with his own? That's really too foolish."

"You're right, a bad person is a bad person. If they were afraid of hurting others, they wouldn't have done evil in the first place."

Jiang Lie raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said helplessly, "It's just a movie, why did you make yourself cry? Come on, let me take you to eat something delicious and cheer you up."

Wen Yao burst into laughter through her tears, her face beaming with the sweet innocence of a young girl: "Okay, let's go eat something delicious."

"After you finish eating, let's look around some more. Let's see what medicinal herbs you mentioned. What kind of medicine are you going to make with them?"

"The pills to replenish qi and blood are mainly for my mother. When I took her pulse, I found that she may have been injured during childbirth when she was young, and her constitution was weakened, so she needs to be recuperated."

"Otherwise, when you're sixty, all those hidden injuries will come, and it will be very painful."

Jiang Lie was somewhat moved: "So, wife, you came to town to buy medicine for my mother. You're so good to my mother, thank you."

Wen Yao smiled shyly: "It's nothing. My parents are good to me, so naturally I want to be good to them too. Besides, your family is my family."

After saying that, a sly glint flashed in his eyes: "If I take you to meet my family in the future, what will you do if my family is difficult to get along with?"

"Hmm? The downside is that my brother-in-law will have a problem with me. That's normal; brothers often don't like their brothers-in-law."

How did you guess it was my brother?

Jiang Lie's lips curled slightly: "Looks like it really is your brother-in-law. If your parents had any objections to me, our marriage wouldn't have gone so smoothly. So it can only be your brother-in-law."

"It's just that you have two older brothers. I don't know which brother is dissatisfied with me, or what aspect he's dissatisfied with that I can change. The most important thing is that the family is harmonious."

Wen Yao smiled playfully: "You'll find out later. My two older brothers, the eldest is more steady, and the second brother... is a little impulsive, but they're both very good to me."

Wen Lie nodded, understanding. It seemed that his second brother was dissatisfied with him.

"Let's go buy some medicinal herbs and make some qi-boosting pills for Mother."

"Um."

When the two came out of the pharmacy, they were carrying oil paper packages. They entered the state-run restaurant, and the people eating inside subconsciously looked at them.

There's no way around it, these two are just too special. In an era of scarcity, to grow to nearly two meters tall with bulging muscles all over one's body is no ordinary feat.

Not to mention the girl beside him, who was so beautiful that it was impossible to look away, but because of the man next to her, the people at the dinner only dared to steal a glance.

Jiang Lie sat opposite her and naturally noticed the covetous gazes. After coldly sweeping them over, he raised his voice slightly: "Wife, see what you want to eat. Order whatever you like, no need to save money."

Wen Yao picked up the menu and nodded, "Okay, then I'd like to eat boiled fish fillets and Mapo tofu. See what you want to eat."

"Anything is fine with me, just order whatever you like."

"Mhm."

The waiter noted down the dishes ordered and couldn't help but take another look at Wen Yao. This girl was truly beautiful, her skin was dazzlingly white, and her smile was like a flower in bloom.

Suddenly, a chill ran down my spine, as if I were being watched. I stiffly turned my head and met a pair of fierce eyes.

He shuddered and said, "I... I'll go tell the kitchen staff. Please wait a moment."

Seeing that he seemed lost in thought, Wen Yao waved her hand in front of him and asked, "Ah Lie, what are you thinking about?"

Jiang Lie shook his head: "I wasn't thinking about anything."

"Yeah, it's so good to have you here, Ah Lie. I don't need to draw birthmarks on my face anymore. I can come out openly. Anyway, with you here, no one dares to bother me."

"Yes, there's no need to draw on the birthmark. It's too uncomfortable to hide it. It's not a mistake for my wife to be beautiful, there's no need to cover it up. I will protect you."

"I know, so I feel at ease."

The two of them ate for almost an hour. Wen Yao was a slow eater. In the past, when she was working in the brigade, she would just stuff a bite in her mouth and didn't have time to eat slowly.

Now, with Ah Lie by her side, she can eat slowly, and her stomach feels much more comfortable.

He finished eating the rest of the ginger, paid the bill, took his wife's hand and went to the woods, handed over the goods to Hei Zi, gave him his payment, and rode his bicycle home.

Wen Yao swung her legs in the breeze, leaning against his broad back: "Ah Lie, when are you going hunting in the mountains next time? Can I go with you?"

"In a few days, if there's no rush to go into the mountains, we can go together."

The answer was concise, to the point, and not perfunctory.

"Alright, I'll prepare more medicine to take into the mountains these next few days. I want to go with you next time you go into the mountains, and we can see if we can find any good medicinal herbs. We can either make our own medicine or sell them."

Jiang Lie nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

After the two returned to the courtyard, Wen Yao, without taking a break, took out the medicine-pounding tools and called out, "Ah Lie, you're strong, come and help me crush the herbs. I'll go prepare the other things."

"Yes, that's fine, the finer the better."

"Yes."

After a busy afternoon, Wen Yao finally made a bottle of Qi-nourishing pills. She got up and stretched her aching back: "Ah Lie, take this medicine to Mother. Take it three times a day, before meals."

"After taking this for a while, Mom's weakness, night sweats, and excessive dreaming will improve. Go and deliver it to her; I need to make dinner now."

Jiang Lie nodded and said, "Okay, I'm going."

Carrying a palm-sized bottle home, he went into the kitchen and said, "Mom, this is for you. Take one pill three times a day before meals."

Zhang Shuhua looked at him blankly: "What is this?"

"These qi-boosting pills were specially made for you by my wife. She said they would relieve your symptoms of fatigue, night sweats, and excessive dreaming. Mom, isn't my wife good to you?"

"Oh, how did Yao Yao know I haven't been feeling well lately?"

"She's a doctor, she probably took your pulse. Anyway, this is good stuff, you should take it on time. If you're not feeling well, you need to take care of yourself. You can't just endure it, it'll become a chronic illness later."

Zhang Shuhua couldn't help but laugh: "Good, my taciturn eldest son has learned to care about people. He really married a good wife. You should treat her even better, you know?"

"Okay, Mom, take the medicine, I'm going home."

"Aren't you having dinner at home?"

"No, I'm married now. Unless there's something going on, it's best to eat separately. Otherwise, my sister-in-law will have objections, and my brother will be in a difficult position."

Zhang Shuhua sighed, "Okay, I understand. You should go back early. I'll go deliver some vegetables to your second brother's place another day. He sounded a bit off when I called him."

"I don't know if they had a fight or what happened. You brothers have a good relationship, you can ask the second brother."

Jiang Lie nodded: "Okay."
