The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man

Leng Qiushou didn’t even bother to wipe his hands. He rushed forward and grabbed Grandma Leng’s arm.

”Grandma, don’t go.”

As Leng Qiu spoke, he shot his mother a meaningful look.

Aunt Leng caught the signal and immediately stepped forward. Third Aunt Leng did the same, also moving to grip Grandma Leng’s arm tightly.

When Grandma Leng had charged outside just now, she’d nearly broken out in a cold sweat from fright.

Leng Yuan had warned them before: if they came to his house again, the few remaining family members with jobs would have to come back to farm.

They had already cost Qiushou and Man Cang their jobs; they couldn’t afford to ruin things for the remaining children.

The two sisters-in-law, along with Second Uncle Leng and Third Uncle Leng, half-coaxed and half-dragged Grandma Leng into the house. They absolutely could not let her go cause a scene.

Seeing that the family wouldn’t let Grandma Leng go, Sun Yeshu didn’t think much of it. She just assumed it was because Grandma Leng was old and they were afraid she would anger the important leader, so they stopped her.

Once everyone was inside, Sun Yeshu went straight to Leng Qingtian’s side and whispered, ”Qingtian, the leader is still at Leng Yuan’s house. You should hurry over. It’s a chance to make an impression on the big man.”

Leng Qingtian thought Sun Yeshu was out of her mind.

His family was already on such terrible terms with Leng Yuan, and she still wanted him to go? He was certain that Leng Yuan would beat him to a pulp before he even stepped through the door.

The thought of his older cousin’s fists made Leng Qingtian shudder.

His face immediately turned cold.

”Just hurry up and make lunch! Everyone has to go back to work this afternoon! Stop worrying about useless things.”

After speaking, he ignored Sun Yeshu, drew a basin of water for himself, and washed his hands.

Sun Yeshu was furious. ’Wasn’t I doing all this for Leng Qingtian’s own good?’

’Working in the city is so prestigious, and it comes with a salary. Besides, I’m already pregnant. If my husband works in the city, he can pave the way for our child’s future.’

Seeing that Leng Qingtian hadn’t taken a single word of hers to heart, Sun Yeshu cursed him under her breath as useless. ’Such a great opportunity, and he doesn’t even know how to cherish it.’

Since no one was going, there was nothing Sun Yeshu could do. Fuming, she went to the kitchen and cooked a meal.

Probably because she was distracted, the meal was exceptionally terrible.

In the afternoon, Zhang Tianming didn’t stay long. He took his men and left, as he had many things to handle that afternoon. Before leaving, however, Zhang Tianming did give Leng Yuan a reminder about something.

The An Family had been having some trouble recently.

He also cryptically hinted to Leng Yuan that it seemed to be because they had lost something.

Leng Yuan understood at once.

Zhang Tianming was an observant man. After mentioning the matter, he saw not a hint of surprise on Leng Yuan’s face and knew he had been aware of it all along.

An Dongyang had the entire An Family behind him, so even someone like Zhang Tianming had to show them some respect. He had originally thought Leng Yuan would be at a disadvantage, but to his surprise, Lu Yuanbin came out of the situation completely unscathed.

At the time, he thought An Dongyang wouldn’t give up so easily, but then the matter was surprisingly dropped.

Zhang Tianming had also had people investigate, but they found nothing.

If Leng Yuan had known all this, he wouldn’t have found it strange.

The tactics used by people on the ground were mostly designed to counter those in high positions.

Zhang Tianming used official channels, and those people were naturally on their guard.

When it came to investigating private matters, they were actually not as useful as people from the lower rungs of society.

But Zhang Tianming quickly let it go.

He clapped Leng Yuan on the shoulder. ”As long as you know what you’re doing, that’s all that matters. I’ll be going then.”

After watching Zhang Tianming leave, Leng Yuan went straight to the team leader to ask for time off.

The team leader, who was about to leave with Zhang Tianming, paused and then looked at Leng Yuan.

”Leng Yuan, don’t tell me you’re getting a big head!”

Leng Yuan was speechless.

For once, he was at a loss for words.

’I’m just asking for some time off. What does that have to do with getting a big head?’

”I need to go to the County Town this afternoon to mail a manuscript.”
