The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man

Wrapped in a blanket, Xu Wenwan cried pitifully, tears streaming down her face.

She wasn’t sobbing uncontrollably or breaking down. Instead, her eyes were wide open as tears rolled down one by one, a sight that made An Dongyang’s heart melt.

”There, there, don’t cry. You don’t like that man anyway. Divorce him, and I’ll marry you.”

Xu Wenwan bit her lip. ”But you... you shouldn’t have done this to me. This... this isn’t right.”

After mustering all her courage, that was all she could manage to say—that it wasn’t right.

An Dongyang immediately laughed. ”There’s nothing wrong with it. I’ll take responsibility for you, that’s all.”

”Come on, I’ll take you home first.”

「In the village.」

Things were certainly lively today.

As it happened, Yun Hao was lying on the ground, and no one was paying him any mind.

That afternoon, Hu Ziqiang came looking for Yun Hao to talk about something.

He had received a letter from his family. His parents said that Yun Hao had somehow angered them and wanted him to back down and apologize.

Hu Ziqiang knew that Yun Hao had sent a letter home earlier, so it must have been something he wrote in it.

He and Yun Hao were good friends, so he planned to come over and help smooth things over.

But when he knocked on the door, no one answered.

Puzzled, Hu Ziqiang saw Yun Hao’s neighbor step out of their house, so he went over to ask. The neighbor shook their head, but then, as if they’d just remembered something, they blurted out a thought.

”Yun Hao wasn’t beaten to a pulp by Xu Wenwan, was he?”

”What?” Hu Ziqiang exclaimed in surprise.

Xu Wenwan beat Yun Hao?

How could someone so delicate be a match for Yun Hao?

Hu Ziqiang’s expression immediately darkened, and he was about to reprimand the neighbor when he saw them rush forward and kick the door open.

And then, Hu Ziqiang saw him—Yun Hao, lying unconscious on the floor.

He froze for several seconds before it registered, and then he rushed inside.

Yun Hao’s face and body were covered in injuries. Next to him was a pool of blood mixed with a few teeth.

Looking at Yun Hao’s once-handsome face, now swollen like a pig’s head and covered in cuts and dirt, he could only be described as a wretched and unbearable sight.

Hu Ziqiang was instantly enraged.

”Who did this? Who would dare treat an educated youth this way? This won’t stand! I’m going to find the leadership.”

As for the neighbor’s claim that Xu Wenwan had done it, Hu Ziqiang completely dismissed it.

How could a girl like Xu Wenwan be so viciously heavy-handed? Hu Ziqiang’s first suspect was Leng Yuan; the two had always been enemies.

But as soon as he suggested it, the neighbor couldn’t hold back.

”Leng Yuan went to work at the commune. When would he have had the time to beat him up?”

”Besides, if Leng Yuan were the one to do the beating, do you think he’d get off with such light injuries?”

These facial injuries just look scary. If Leng Yuan had attacked, a broken bone would have been the least of it.

Besides, their whole family heard Xu Wenwan beating him. If Hu Ziqiang didn’t want to believe it, there was nothing they could do.

For a moment, Hu Ziqiang was at a loss for words.

In the end, the incident alarmed the Village Chief and the Production Brigade Leader, who also summoned the barefoot doctor.

When Village Chief Xu heard the neighbors claim it was Xu Wenwan, he didn’t believe it. But with Yun Hao collapsed, Xu Wenwan nowhere to be found, and everyone saying they’d heard it, could they really be slandering her?

Village Chief Xu almost couldn’t take it and nearly fainted.

Fortunately, the Production Brigade Leader had quick reflexes and caught him.

The barefoot doctor came, checked his pulse, and determined there was nothing serious. They were all superficial wounds that would heal with some rest.

As for his unconsciousness, the doctor pinched the philtrum below his nose and splashed a cup of cold water on him, and he woke up.

He just couldn’t speak clearly.

The Village Chief had people carry Yun Hao to his room, but Yun Hao pointed to the one next to it.

Only after everyone went inside did they realize the husband and wife slept in separate rooms.

The looks everyone gave Village Chief Xu grew even stranger.

Just what was going on with Village Chief Xu’s daughter?

Not only did she beat her husband, but she also wouldn’t let him touch her at night?
