The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man-Chapter 154 - 153: The Ultimate Sucker

They couldn’t save her younger brother, so Sweet Girl was married off to the man who paid the betrothal gift.

The man had a history of domestic violence; his previous wife had been beaten to death by him.

But in the countryside, this was considered a domestic affair.

Her family took the money and didn’t press the issue, so no one could do anything to the man.

Sweet Girl didn’t know at first. She only found out after she married him. In the end, she had been swindled by a crooked matchmaker.

Later, Sweet Girl got pregnant several times, but she miscarried each time due to the abuse.

After losing three babies in a row, her body was ruined, and she could no longer get pregnant.

The man despised her even more and beat her more viciously.

Unable to bear it any longer, Sweet Girl tried to commit suicide. That’s when she met the female lead, Xu Wenwan. With Xu Wenwan’s help, she successfully divorced him.

After the female lead helped her get a divorce, Sweet Girl returned to the Qingshan Team.

The female lead tested into a university and went off to school.

Sweet Girl remained in the Qingshan Team.

Because of his violent reputation, no woman was willing to marry the man after the divorce.

So he started harassing Sweet Girl again, kicking her door down in the middle of the night. A young woman like her was no match for a man, and in the end, he had his way with her.

In a fit of despair, Sweet Girl hanged herself.

It was at this moment that Sweet Girl’s older brother returned.

Her brother, who had been serving as a soldier and hadn’t been home in years.

Upon his return, he swiftly avenged Sweet Girl. He also learned that the female lead had helped with the divorce, so he was incredibly grateful to her.

But the female lead wanted nothing to do with his gratitude. Seeing how beautiful and kind-hearted she was, Sweet Girl’s brother fell in love with her on the spot.

When Gu Jiaojiao thought of Sweet Girl’s hopeless brother, she really wanted to lay into him.

’Where was he when his family needed him? Everyone was dead by the time he came back. What damn good was he?’

’What a garbage older brother.’

Gu Jiaojiao was at a loss for words.

When she read the novel, she’d already thought this character’s setup was absurd. Now that it was reality, she found this kind of love-crazed plot even more unacceptable.

’It’s as if there’s nothing else to do in life besides fall in love.’

’As if the world would stop turning without a man.’

She thought of certain stories where it didn’t matter if your parents died—’as long as I’m with this man, we’ll overcome any hardship together.’

’Overcome the vendetta for your own father’s murder? Are you kidding me?’

’A family would have to be cursed for generations to have a daughter like that.’

Complaints aside, Gu Jiaojiao had to admit it was thanks to Sweet Girl’s brother being a major supporting male character that her cousin had written Sweet Girl’s storyline in such detail.

Thinking of the tiny girl having to support herself and her younger brother, she felt a pang of pity for her.

「At the village chief’s house.」

Xu Wenwan woke up late and was immediately scolded by her grim-faced father. Normally, Xu Wenwan would have burst into tears and thrown a bit of a tantrum.

But she had business today—she was in a hurry to go watch Gu Jiaojiao make a fool of herself! So, she let her village chief father’s lecture go in one ear and out the other, paying it no mind at all.

Village Chief Xu pleaded earnestly.

"Wen Wan, you’re not a child anymore. You have to help with the chores. It’s not right for your two sisters-in-law to do all the work while you just sit around and eat."

Xu Wenwan nodded repeatedly, quickly finished her breakfast, and ran out without even washing her bowl.

Village Chief Xu: ...

’Was I just wasting my breath?’

He closed his eyes, a headache blooming. His wife had given him two sons and a daughter, but that one daughter was more difficult to manage than both sons combined.

He had worried himself sick over her, but his daughter simply wouldn’t listen.

Steeling his heart, he told his wife, "When our daughters-in-law cook today, don’t make a portion for Wen Wan. She needs to learn her lesson."

Chen Xiumin opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn’t say anything more.

Her daughter was indeed getting out of hand.
