The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man

Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Berating Yu Fangfang

’Could I have remembered it wrong?’

Her novel had been finished long before she transmigrated into Xu Wenwan’s body.

The night before she transmigrated, she’d seen a nasty review.

The reviewer had given her a one-star rating and posted a long tirade, claiming the protagonist’s morals were warped and that anyone who crossed her met a terrible fate. They called her disgusting.

She’d immediately blocked the person and chewed them out in a private message.

Then she went to sleep.

The next time she woke up, she had become Xu Wenwan.

The story only officially began when the heroine returned to the production brigade. She had only briefly touched upon what happened to Gu Jiaojiao before that point.

’Her bad luck must not have started yet.’

After all, Gu Jiaojiao still had some money on her when she was sent to the countryside.

’She probably used that money to buy grain.’

’In any case, I wrote the book, and now I’m the protagonist. Won’t taking down Gu Jiaojiao be a piece of cake?’

As Xu Wenwan was thinking this, the ox-cart arrived at the entrance to the village chief’s home.

After seeing a long stretch of adobe houses and fenced-in yards, Xu Wenwan felt a flicker of satisfaction as she looked at the brick-and-tile house with its earthen walls.

Her second sister-in-law, Yu Fangfang, was already waiting at the gate, her belly large and round.

Today was the day to deliver the public grain tax, so everyone in the family had gone to help. She was the only one left behind, as she was far along in her pregnancy, and it hadn’t been a very stable one.

When Yu Fangfang saw her sister-in-law returning from the County Town, she looked a little reserved. ”Wen-Wenwan, you... you’re back!”

Xu Wenwan hopped off the ox-cart and shifted her hips.

Her backside felt like it was about to fall apart after the long ride.

’If there were any other mode of transportation, I wouldn’t have deigned to ride in this miserable cart!’

”Second Sister-in-law, grab my bag. I’m heading home first. That trip absolutely killed me!”

Xu Wenwan wasn’t the least bit courteous, acting like some high-ranking official on an inspection tour.

After barking the order at Yu Fangfang, she strode into the courtyard.

Seeing that everything in the courtyard was just as she had described, Xu Wenwan was very satisfied.

’Theirs was the only brick-and-tile house in the entire village.’

Yu Fangfang stared blankly at Xu Wenwan’s back for a moment, then came to her senses and hurried to thank Old Chen.

”Uncle Chen, thank you so much.”

If her own father-in-law hadn’t personally gone to ask Old Chen for help, there’s no way he would have gone to the County Town to pick someone up at this time of year.

Everyone’s soybeans were being harvested, and plenty of people were willing to pay to use Old Chen’s ox for milling.

A trip to the County Town cost him a whole day’s earnings; he only agreed because their two families were close.

Old Chen’s expression softened at Yu Fangfang’s gratitude. He had her take the bundle down, then drove the ox-cart away.

Yu Fangfang lifted the bundle, her face strained with effort.

She had no idea what was packed inside, but it must have weighed seventy or eighty pounds.

Yu Fangfang’s face went pale.

But her sister-in-law had just returned, and she didn’t want to cause any trouble. Steeling herself, she hauled the bundle into the courtyard.

Inside the courtyard, Xu Wenwan was curiously looking everything over.

’It’s just as I imagined.’

Now that she had a good feel for the house, and since she was tired from the trip, she decided to go to her room to rest.

Because she had written the novel, she knew which room was hers and headed straight for the first one on the right.

Yu Fangfang staggered in with the bundle, her face ashen. She felt something warm gush from between her legs, and her face went even paler.

Not daring to risk her pregnancy, she dropped the bundle right on the ground.

Xu Wenwan turned back, and when she saw this, she completely lost it.

”Second Sister-in-law, what do you think you’re doing? The ground is filthy! How could you just drop my things right on the dirt?”

Waves of cramping pain shot through Yu Fangfang’s belly, leaving her unable to speak.

But Xu Wenwan paid her no mind, ordering Yu Fangfang to pick the bundle up immediately.

Yu Fangfang didn’t dare move, and beads of sweat as large as peas broke out on her forehead. It was only then that Xu Wenwan realized something was wrong. Peering at Yu Fangfang, she finally noticed a stain of blood on her clothes.
