The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man

Chapter 314: Chapter 310: Unconvinced

Xu Wenwan still looked defiant. She looked down at the bruises on her body, her heart seething with hatred.

This was her so-called family, and this was how they treated her.

’Fine!’

She shouldn’t have held out any hope for these people. When she made her fortune in the future, she wouldn’t help a single one of them.

Xu Wenwan swore to herself.

Chen Xiumin was also furious. Though she had just given her daughter a beating, she was still heartbroken over the two yuan.

She was convinced Xu Wenwan had been scammed.

Chen Xiaoli waited until Yu Fangfang felt a little better before returning to her own room.

She put away the gift Yu Fangfang had prepared, then began to ponder what she should give herself.

Last time she had taken Gu Jiaojiao to her sister’s to buy fabric, and the very next day, Gu Jiaojiao had brought her a bar of facial soap as a thank-you.

And it worked wonders. After just a few days of using it, her skin had become much smoother.

Even her husband could feel the difference.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiaoli decided she would go over early the next morning to help out.

Ordinarily, Leng Yuan’s family should have been the ones to manage the event, but the Leng Family’s situation was unusual. None of his elder relatives were in contact with him, and as the bride, it wasn’t appropriate for Gu Jiaojiao to be cooking.

So, she had to go early to do the cooking.

「At the Chen Family’s」

After Chen JianShe returned home, he told Mrs. Chen about his plans to go and help the next day.

Mrs. Chen shot her son a look.

”Did you really need to tell me that? I’d already planned on it. Of course I’m going over early tomorrow to help.”

Putting everything else aside, her family had benefited greatly from their connection to Leng Yuan, eating so much meat thanks to him. Now that something was happening at his house, she was obligated to help.

Besides, Chen JianShe had been sickly as a child and had only gotten better after training with Leng Yuan.

Back then, she had thought her son might not live for long.

After all these years, Mrs. Chen was still deeply grateful to Leng Yuan, so of course she had no objections to helping.

In addition to offering her help, she also prepared a basket of eggs.

These days, gifts for such occasions were usually red envelopes with money, food, or other practical items.

She had prepared a red duvet cover, a basket of eggs, and a red envelope with two yuan inside.

In the Qingshan Team, this was considered an extremely generous gift.

It was the same at the Zhao family’s home.

Zhao Tiezhu had given Aunt Zhao a heads-up.

”Mom, I know it’s a bother, but please go over early tomorrow. Leng Yuan doesn’t have any elders in his family, so could you help manage things?”

Aunt Zhao smiled, straightening her clothes. ”Don’t you worry! I know what to do.”

「At Village Chief Xu’s house」

That evening, Xu Chongfeng also mentioned the matter to his wife.

Chen Xiaoli rolled her eyes.

”You think I needed you to tell me? I’ve been ready for ages. I’ve even got the red envelope and the gift all set.”

Xu Chongfeng looked at his wife and planted a heavy kiss on her cheek.

”I knew it. My wife is the best.”

Then, he asked pitifully,

”Honey, can I sleep with you tonight?”

Ever since Xu Wenwan had taken over their daughter’s room, Xu Chongfeng had been banished to sleep in his son’s room.

It had been so long since he’d been able to sleep holding his wife.

Chen Xiaoli swatted him on the face.

”Don’t even think about it.”

’He could blame his sister for that.’

Xu Chongfeng dawdled, reluctant to leave, but in the end, Chen Xiaoli shoved him out with her foot.

SLAM.

The door shut mercilessly behind him.

Wearing a miserable expression, Xu Chongfeng entered his son’s room.

His son shared a room with his cousin from the second branch of the family. There were two small beds, and it was a tight squeeze for Xu Chongfeng to share with his son, but there was no other choice.

He was tempted to just build another house and be done with it.

The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. He decided he would talk to his father about it after coming back from the feast tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Xu Chongshan was still taking care of Yu Fangfang. A single look from Xu Wenwan earlier had given Yu Fangfang a nightmare that jolted her awake.

Clutching her pregnant belly, she couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong.

Xu Chongshan, unaware of what had happened during the day, tried to comfort Yu Fangfang, telling her not to overthink things.
