Accidentally entered a high gate

In Zheng Chunfang's mind, marriage meant finding a hardworking man to have and raise children with. As a result, Ma Lifeng specifically bought a contraceptive.

As soon as Zheng Chunfang finished speaking, she started getting dressed.

Ma Lifeng quickly pulled her into his arms. "It's not that I don't want children, I just want you to cherish me for a few more years. You women, once you have children, you're always focused on them and don't care about your husbands anymore. I want you to cherish me for a few more years, to care about me for a few more years."

Zheng Chunfang: "..." Why is this person arguing with her own child? "You really don't not want a child?"

"No, that's not true. If I never have children, people will say I'm spineless."

Zheng Chunfang: "..." This person's mouth is really sharp. "If we never have a child, although some people will say you're spineless, most people will still say I can't have children. I... I'll only care about you for half a year at most."

Six months isn't enough. "No way. You have to cherish me for at least three years."

He's his father's biological son, and his father certainly won't let him stay in the countryside indefinitely. He estimates his father will only let him stay there for three years at most. After three years, his father will probably bring him back. Once they're back, his wife won't have to work anymore and will have time to take care of him and the children. Right now, his wife takes care of the children but doesn't have time to take care of him, and vice versa.

"No way. If I don't get pregnant for three years, my grandma and my mom will definitely drag me to see a doctor."

"Then two and a half years."

"One year."

"Two years, no less. Any less and I'll cry."

Zheng Chunfang: "..." What kind of person did she marry? "A year and a half, no more than that."

Ma Lifeng's eyes instantly filled with tears. "I just wanted you to cherish me more."

Zheng Chunfang: "..." She's really crying?! "Okay... alright, that's the most I can do."

"Hmm." If we try to delay it for another two years, we should be able to postpone it for another year or two.

Ma Lifeng raised his hand to wipe away his tears. "When we have children in the future, you can't just cherish the children and not cherish me."

Zheng Chunfang sighed again, wondering what kind of person she had married. "Okay."

Seeing that she had agreed, Ma Lifeng hugged her and kissed her. "You have to keep your word."

What else can Zheng Chunfang do?

Zheng Chunfang could only say, "Don't worry, I will definitely keep my word."

Ma Lifeng was delighted. "Shall we try this and see if it works?"

The young couple tried it twice and, finding it acceptable, went to sleep peacefully.

On the other side, Zheng Fugui, Tian Erya, Zheng Daniu, Li Guihua, Zhang Wenzhong, and several other educated youths who came from Beijing with Ma Lifeng couldn't fall asleep.

The male educated youth who came with Ma Lifeng from Beijing regretted not building a good relationship with him because he looked like a pretty boy. The female educated youth regretted not getting close to Ma Lifeng because he always had a cold face, and as a result, a village girl beat them to it.

Zhang Wenzhong was worried that Ma Lifeng wouldn't work properly.

Zheng Fugui, Tian Erya, Zheng Daniu, and Li Guihua were worried that Ma Lifeng wouldn't be truly committed to living with Zheng Chunfang.

Although Ma Lifeng told them from the beginning that his eldest and second eldest brothers were both soldiers, and that his two older sisters were also capable people, they didn't really feel anything about it.

Today, the head of the county's armed forces department not only personally came to the countryside to see Ma Lifeng, but also brought him a lot of things.

Zheng Fugui, Tian Erya, Zheng Daniu, and Li Guihua all felt the gap between their family and the Ma family.

Unable to sleep, Li Guihua glanced at Zheng Daniu beside her. "Do you think Lifeng will settle down and live a stable life with Chunfang?"

Zheng Daniu didn't know either. "Find a chance to quietly ask Chunfang if she knows how much money Lifeng still has. If Lifeng still has a lot of money, we'll persuade him to buy the house they're living in now. If he leaves later, we'll find Chunfang a man."

Li Guihua didn't want that house. "That house used to be haunted."

Zheng Daniu didn't want that house either. But, "Lifeng doesn't believe in those things. If we ask him to build a new house, he might not have that much money, and he might not be willing."

"Do you think that if Chunfang had a child with him, would he treat Chunfang well for the sake of the child?"

"That woman in the next village with a similar name to yours had three children with her husband, but he still claimed their marriage was arranged and married another woman outside the village, didn't he?"

Li Guihua: "..."

"Let's get a house. With a house, even if we have kids, men will still be willing to come to our door."

"I should have known better than to let Chunfang get married." She also wanted her daughter to marry into a good family, but if it were too good, she was afraid that the man would just be after something new.

"You're already married, go to sleep. You have to go to work tomorrow."

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Li Guihua got up to make pancakes.

After making the pancakes, Li Guihua left one for her parents-in-law and then took the rest to her second daughter's house.
