The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man

"Ever since Xu Wenwan came back, our family has become the laughingstock of the whole village."

Chen Xiaoli had been happy that her family had cut ties with Xu Wenwan, but after all this drama on the first day of the Lunar New Year, that little bit of joy vanished in an instant.

Xu Chongfeng didn’t dare make a peep.

’What can I do?’

’Our family is the one in the wrong here!’

Xu Chongfeng quietly slowed his breathing, trying to minimize his presence.

Chen Xiaoli shot him a look, her face full of disdain. "That’s enough. Stop being an eyesore. I don’t want to see you right now."

’Honestly, what is with these days? Even the first day of the New Year has to be so upsetting.’

She didn’t say it out loud, but in her heart, she was convinced that Xu Wenwan was a walking disaster for the family.

As for the rest of the village, things were getting lively.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone was supposed to be harmonious and happy. Even parents who usually liked to hit and scold their children were on their best behavior, acting gentle as could be.

Any family conflicts were absolutely not to be brought up on the first day of the New Year.

But Yun Hao and Xu Wenwan were simply in a class of their own.

At Feng Ergou’s house, his parents were discussing the matter.

Feng Ergou’s father had run out to watch the commotion and came back to tell his wife all about it.

The more Feng Ergou’s mother heard, the more she felt that the girl was nothing but trouble.

"That Xu Wenwan is a real jinx. Whoever gets close to her has bad luck."

"Just look! Since she came back, Village Chief Xu’s daughter-in-law almost had a miscarriage. And the Xu Family hasn’t had a single day of peace. They used to have such a good reputation, but now it’s been dragged through the mud. All this disgraceful business with the Xu family is all Xu Wenwan’s doing."

"We should stay far away from her from now on!"

Don’t blame her for being superstitious; some things you just have to believe, whether you want to or not.

Some people are just born unlucky and drag down everyone around them.

Hearing his mother’s words, Feng Ergou slammed his chopsticks down on the table.

"Mom, stop it."

Feng Ergou’s parents jumped, looking at their son in confusion. "Ergou, what’s wrong with you?"

Feng Ergou scratched his hair in frustration. "Mom, from now on, don’t talk bad about people behind their backs. I don’t want to hear it."

With that, Feng Ergou went back to his room.

His parents were left with strange expressions. They often gossiped about village affairs at home, and their son never paid them any mind. What was wrong today?

Feng Ergou didn’t care what his parents were thinking. He ran back to his room, threw himself onto the bed, and started to cry.

’I can’t accept this!’

Once, he had liked Xu Wenwan so much. He had even held her hand. Just when he thought he might have a chance, she started appearing everywhere with Yun Hao, and now the two of them were married.

But fine, they got married, but he didn’t even treat Xu Wenwan well.

Yun Hao didn’t know how to cherish such a wonderful girl. It made him furious.

This was a classic case of the well-fed not knowing the plight of the starving. He wanted to marry Xu Wenwan but couldn’t, while Yun Hao had married her and didn’t cherish her.

「Leng Yuan’s house.」

When Gu Jiaojiao got back, Leng Yuan had already finished making lunch.

Although it wasn’t as delicious as Gu Jiaojiao’s cooking, a student taught by an excellent master couldn’t be too bad.

Leng Yuan had been helping Gu Jiaojiao cook for so long that he could certainly handle stir-frying a few dishes.

Gu Jiaojiao helped plate the food.

Because the family had a habit of eating lunch, Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang saw it was lunchtime and came back home too.

During the meal, neither of them mentioned Yun Hao or Xu Wenwan.

After they finished eating, they sent the two children back to their rooms.

Only then did the two of them start talking about Xu Wenwan.

"I think Xu Wenwan was envious of your good fortune, which led to a misunderstanding with Yun Hao. The two of them got into a fight, and then Village Chief Xu stepped in to mediate and sent her home. But as they were leaving, I saw the village chief helping his wife walk home. Judging by his expression, it didn’t look like she had just fallen on her own."

Gu Jiaojiao had been delayed because Chen Xiaoli kept apologizing to her.

As a result, she happened to see Village Chief Xu helping Chen Xiumin home. His face was grim, while Chen Xiumin’s eyes were red and she looked dejected. A large stain had spread on the back of her clothes.

If Chen Xiumin had fallen on her own, Village Chief Xu wouldn’t have been so furious.

If Xu Wenwan had done it, she was practically courting death.
