The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man-Chapter 90: Love Brain

Gu Jiaojiao almost burst out laughing at the pair of them.

’This is a grain distribution, not the set of a romance drama. What is wrong with these two?’

The villagers were eating up the drama, watching with glee.

They had long since heard about the village chief’s daughter being switched at birth, and it had been the talk of the village for quite a while.

Xu Wenwan’s sudden appearance today immediately sparked a fresh round of gossip.

’So that’s the village chief’s daughter who was switched at birth. She’s gorgeous. You can tell she’s from the city.’

’She was clearly raised well.’

’And look at her clothes—they’re so stylish. We’ve never seen that kind of design before.’

’But her behavior... isn’t she a little shameless?’

The crowd murmured amongst themselves, their eyes constantly darting toward Xu Wenwan.

The village chief’s face was as black as soot. Being made a public spectacle, he felt he had lost all face completely.

"What? Can’t I say a thing or two to my own daughter?"

"Get back home, now! This is no place for you to be causing a scene."

Village Chief Xu was furious. He wondered if the heavens had sent this daughter just to torment him.

Xu Chongfeng, who was helping with the scales nearby, saw how angry his father was and shot his wife a look, signaling for her to get Xu Wenwan out of there quickly.

’She can’t stay here and keep embarrassing the family.’

Chen Xiaoli was not at all fond of this new sister-in-law.

The moment she returned, she nearly caused her second sister-in-law to have a miscarriage and had even demanded someone give up their room for her, showing no respect for her elders.

She hadn’t planned on getting involved, but seeing Xu Chongfeng repeatedly shooting her looks, she finally went over and took Xu Wenwan by the arm.

"Wenwan, it’s almost noon, and it’s hot out here. Let’s go home!"

But Xu Wenwan had other ideas.

She shook off Chen Xiaoli’s arm and stood her ground defiantly. ’I can’t leave. What if something happens to Yun Hao?’

Chen Xiaoli’s expression darkened. ’Fine. Be ungrateful. I’m done trying to help.’

Watching this scene unfold, the Xu Family was furious.

The villagers, too, were at a loss for words.

On the entire threshing ground, only Yun Hao looked moved.

Thinking of her, he couldn’t help but say, "Wenwan, you should go back first. We can talk about whatever it is later."

Xu Wenwan’s beautiful eyes glistened with unshed tears.

"Go on, go home now,"

Yun Hao urged.

Seeing Yun Hao’s firm attitude, Xu Wenwan finally nodded earnestly and followed Chen Xiaoli home.

On the threshing ground, everyone—the onlookers and Xu Wenwan’s family alike—was left speechless.

’A man’s words mean more to her than her own family’s. Is there something wrong with her head?’

’It’s not like we’d ever try to harm her, would we?’

Gu Jiaojiao found this all highly amusing.

There was one phrase that described this cousin of hers perfectly.

All the entitlement of a princess, with none of the status. She spent her days making a scene out of everything.

’When she wrote her novel, she basically used herself as the prototype—insufferably dramatic and a classic case of being boy-crazy.’

’Wait, no.’

’The protagonist my cousin wrote about was reincarnated from the nineties back to the seventies. In that case, there shouldn’t be any centipede braids.’

In that instant, the image of Xu Wenwan slowly merged with that of her cousin. Gu Jiaojiao cursed inwardly.

’Did my cousin transmigrate into the book, too?’

Although Gu Jiaojiao was suspicious, now was the crucial moment of grain distribution. She didn’t dwell on it; there would be time to figure things out later.

After the educated youths received their share, Gu Jiaojiao and Leng Yuan bought another hundred jin of fine grain.

The production team leader gave the two of them a look, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he sold it to them anyway.

Seeing this, the villagers immediately started gossiping again.

"That couple has no idea how to manage their money. A hundred jin of fine grain, just like that. Even the wealthy Leng Family only dared to buy a hundred jin of coarse grain. Once all their money is spent, how are they going to survive?"

There were countless remarks just like this.

Gu Jiaojiao pretended not to hear.

After buying the grain, she and Leng Yuan pushed their flatbed cart home without giving anyone a second glance.

The villagers: "..."

At this, the gossip about Leng Yuan and Gu Jiaojiao grew even more intense.

Someone turned to Aunt Leng and complained, "Your nephew is way too good to his wife. Gu Jiaojiao wants to buy white flour, so he just buys it for her. They’ve spent so much of their money already. I bet when they run out, they’ll have no choice but to come crying to you."

Aunt Leng scoffed. "If they dare show up at my door, I’ll chase them out with a broom."

Hearing this, the crowd started to tease her again. "So you’re not planning to help them one bit, huh?"

"Help them? Why should I? We cut ties long ago. It’s not like they treat me as their aunt," Aunt Leng said with a sneer. "Ungrateful wretches. You can’t tame a wild wolf."
