The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man

”What?”

Sun Yeshu gasped, her voice catching in her throat. She quickly recovered and lowered her gaze.

The two aunties standing nearby glanced at Sun Yeshu, pursed their lips, and went back to their own private plots to pick vegetables.

The men were about to get off work. Their dinners were already cooked; they were just waiting to pick a cucumber to take back for a cold salad, and then they could eat.

Sun Yeshu’s mind was completely occupied with the thought of the big leader eating at Leng Yuan’s house. ’That’s a big leader! Someone ordinary people never even get to see, and he’s actually good friends with Leng Yuan.’

’That Leng Yuan... Doesn’t he know he’s part of the Leng Family? To know someone so powerful, to have such a great opportunity, and not even think of his own family.’

Leng Yuan might not be thinking about it, but she certainly had to.

Sun Yeshu had lost all interest in cooking. She hastily picked up her basin of vegetables and hurried back to the front courtyard.

Just then, the members of the Leng Family walked in, having just gotten off work.

Aunt Leng headed for the kitchen, and her anger flared when she saw the cold pots and stove.

”Ye Shu, what is going on? Everyone’s home from work, and you haven’t even started cooking.”

Farm work was grueling. Every family ate as soon as they got home so they could rest a little during the noon break. Otherwise, it was just too exhausting.

She had specifically left someone at home to cook, considering Sun Yeshu was pregnant. She never expected to come back and find that the girl hadn’t even started.

Sun Yeshu had no time for such things. ”Ma, Leng Yuan knows a big leader from the county! The leader is eating at his house right now. Don’t you think if he said a few words to the leader, he could get Qingtian a job in the county?”

Hearing this, the faces of Second Uncle Leng and Third Uncle Leng darkened.

Aunt Leng and Third Aunt Leng didn’t look pleased either.

Only Grandma Leng thought Sun Yeshu had a point.

”That’s right. Since Leng Yuan has connections, we’ll have him talk to the big leader and get our Qingtian a job in the county.”

Leng Qiushou, who was washing his hands, was speechless when he heard his grandmother’s words. ’She’s treating a county job like it’s a head of cabbage, something you can just arrange whenever you want.’

Even if the leader had that kind of power, it would still depend on whether there were any job openings.

Besides, given the relationship between their family and Leng Yuan, they’d just get thrown out if they went to his door.

After half a year of farm work, Leng Qiushou had lost all of his former swagger.

When he first came back, he desperately looked for opportunities, hoping to find another job in the county or the township. But after months of running around, he discovered that jobs were impossible to find.

These days, every position was already filled. Without connections or real skill, nobody would take you.

At first, he couldn’t accept it, but now he knew just how formidable Leng Yuan was.

With a single sentence, he could ruin his future.

His biggest regret now was provoking Leng Yuan.

In the past, Leng Qiushou would have resented Leng Yuan. But when a person rises so high that you can no longer even touch them, all that’s left is regret.

Especially since Leng Yuan not only knew a big leader now, but his uncle was also incredibly powerful.

Thinking back to the newspaper he had read, he couldn’t believe that Leng Yuan’s uncle actually held that position—a position he could only look up to for his entire life.

With a backer like that, what was this tiny Qingshan Team? Forget the Qingshan Team; even the entire county meant nothing to Leng Yuan.

And yet, here they were, still scrambling desperately for a minor job.

He had to admit, some people were just born different. It was no wonder that when they were children, Grandpa had only kept Leng Yuan by his side to raise.

While Leng Qiushou’s thoughts were spinning, Grandma Leng was already heading out to find Leng Yuan and ask for his help in getting a job.
