She wasn’t planning on getting married anytime soon anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, how about I put Hong in a sack and give him a good beating,\" Xu Minghui suggested with a gleam in his eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, don’t interfere in this mess; it’s between women,\" Xu Mumu glared at her brother, finding his enthusiasm for drama quite exasperating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Listen to your little sister,\" Madam Chen said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t a big deal; Chen Qiu Ling’s petty schemes might be disgusting, but they weren’t significant. The family had a notorious troublemaker wife who could be dispatched for a proper heart-to-heart with Chen Qiu Ling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That little wretch! Just wait and see how I’ll deal with her,\" Li Caixia fumed because her daughter was supposed to be moving to the city for a good life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Mumu didn’t pay any mind to the aftermath; her mother might be rowdy, but with her grandparents’ supervision, no real chaos would ensue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>School days were quite relaxed, especially as Xu Mumu had been doing well academically, drawing others to seek her help with things they didn’t understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mumu, yesterday my cousin’s wife came by asking about you.\" After school, Zhao Qing hesitantly recounted the events, feeling that it might not be good news and even sensing something ominous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? What was she asking about me?\" Xu Mumu raised an eyebrow, wondering what Chen Qiu Ling was up to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She asked what you usually do and where you like to hang out,\" Zhao Qing pursed his lips, not particularly fond of his cousin’s wife despite her familial ties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you respond to her?\" Xu Mumu asked with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t say much—just mentioned that besides school, you’re usually at home teaching your siblings to read,\" Zhao Qing replied earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mumu, I’ve got a feeling my cousin’s wife might be up to no good. I’ll keep an eye on her for you,\" Zhao Qing earnestly assured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry about it, there’s no need. I can handle her effortlessly,\" Xu Mumu chuckled, hoping Chen Qiu Ling wouldn’t stir up trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remembering Xu Mumu’s fierce demeanor in a fight, Zhao Qing relaxed. Indeed, even multiple strong men combined wouldn’t stand a chance against her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With mixed feelings, Zhao Qing glanced at Xu Mumu. She still appeared sweet and delicate, belying her formidable strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stark contrast left him feeling uneasy even now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day was Saturday, and Xu Mumu rose early. After putting the little rascals through some drills, she took them up the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, the kids had gathered plenty of mushrooms; drying them out yielded nearly ten pounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Summer was gradually approaching, and the mountain was sprouting new and varied fungi species.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big Sis, I know a spot with mushrooms. My brother and I spotted them while digging for wild vegetables yesterday but couldn’t carry so much at once,\" Xu Jiaojiao gushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lead the way, then. Let’s harvest them,\" Xu Mumu suggested with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem.\" The little girl strode ahead with the pride and confidence of a triumphant general.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jiaojiao didn’t disappoint. She had found a secluded area where an abundant growth of mushrooms escaped notice without careful scrutiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, how did you find this place? I’ve never noticed it before,\" Xu Minglei marveled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We saw a wild rabbit yesterday and tried catching it, but it ran too fast. We chased it here,\" Xu Tao explained excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t run so far next time; getting lost would be disastrous,\" Xu Mumu cautioned, pinching the little girl’s cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it, Big Sis.\" The girl felt slightly guilty, knowing she had egged on her brother to run that far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Xu Mumu refrained from scolding Xu Jiaojiao further. She instructed the kids to pick the edible mushrooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sis, we’ve dried so many mushrooms already; when will we sell them?\" Xu Minglei eagerly inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At home, the ones deemed unsuitable for consumption, even those Li Caixia fancied, were steadfastly guarded by Xu Minglei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m heading to the black market tomorrow; I’ll take some when I go tutor Du Yu,\" Xu Mumu smiled. She had seen the children’s haul and was genuinely impressed by their initiative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big Sis, I heard the black market is really dangerous,\" Xu Tao remarked nervously, aware that unauthorized transactions were illegal, and people were frequently apprehended there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll be careful. If I sense any trouble, I’ll bolt first,\" Xu Mumu reassured, patting Xu Tao’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After calming the kids, Xu Mumu noted the late hour and took them home, gathering wild vegetables along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After consuming plenty of pickled radish lately, Xu Mumu wanted a change in flavor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a bit of spare cash at home, allowing them to be a tad more liberal with oil and salt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After lunch, Xu Mumu packed some dried mushrooms into her bag. Not all were dry, so there was no rush to sell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heading cheerfully to town, she was suddenly blocked halfway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, if it isn’t Xu Mumu,\" Chen Jinfu approached sleazily, enthralled by Xu Mumu’s fair complexion and reached out, imagining how wonderful it would feel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Acting on his impulse, Chen Jinfu extended his grubby hand towards Xu Mumu’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep your hands respectful,\" Xu Mumu sternly retorted, locking his hand in a vice grip, \"Is Chen Qiu Ling your sister?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the somewhat pervy man who did resemble Chen Qiu Ling, Xu Mumu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Mumu recognizes me. Great! Now let me go,\" Chen Jinfu’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha, she sent you?\" Xu Mumu questioned, applying pressure to Chen Jinfu’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ow, ow, let go!\" Chen Jinfu shouted, unable to escape Xu Mumu’s grip, her strength causing sharp pain and the sensation his bones were about to snap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Answer the question! Did Chen Qiu Ling send you?\" Xu Mumu coldly demanded, applying more force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Easier, easier; not my sister, some other woman gave me ten bucks to...\" Chen Jinfu trailed off, guilt gripping him, as the pain intensified from Xu Mumu’s crushing force.\u003C\u002Fp>",1005,"2026-06-03T06:55:24.983Z","2026-06-03T06:55:27.677Z",1,"novelbin.me","5a6a4136a79f26df7d9d688c93490d002e9724694d84db7dfabc21a727f2bc52","70s-delicate-girl-a-guide-to-being-a-rich-woman-chapter-89","70s-delicate-girl-a-guide-to-being-a-rich-woman-chapter-87",545,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002F70s-delicate-girl-a-guide-to-being-a-rich-woman-cover.jpg"]
