Chen JianShe was never even mad at Leng Yuan.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, after a bit of back-and-forth, the two of them decided to go up the mountain together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For lunch, Gu Jiaojiao made sweet and sour carp. Even though it wasn’t spicy, the two men ate with great gusto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao had wanted to find a chance to ask about the business with the loan sharks, but the opportunity never came, so she decided to drop it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Either way, I should focus on selling the fountain pen first.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That afternoon, Leng Yuan and Chen JianShe went up the mountain, tools in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao told Leng Yuan she was going to the County Town that afternoon. He didn’t mind and gave her two large bills, telling her to spend them however she liked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted them directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the two men left, she took her back basket and headed to the village entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no work in the fields at the moment, so the ox-cart runs had increased from once to twice a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Gu Jiaojiao arrived, the ox-cart was already waiting at the village entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t early; there were already four people on the cart, one of whom Gu Jiaojiao recognized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Yu Fangfang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Gu Jiaojiao, Yu Fangfang greeted her happily, \"Jiaojiao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao smiled and walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to get on the cart, Xu Wenwan, who was sitting to the side, abruptly placed her bundle on the empty spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, Gu Zhiqing, there’s no more room!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Gu Jiaojiao realize that the person who had just turned her face away was Xu Wenwan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Gu Jiaojiao could speak, Yu Fangfang spoke up first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wen Wan, there’s still a spot here. You can just hold your own bundle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yu Fangfang actually stick up for Gu Jiaojiao, Xu Wenwan grew annoyed. \"Second Sister-in-law, this bundle is huge. How am I supposed to hold it? I’ll just leave it here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yu Fangfang disagreed. \"The ox-cart can seat five people. You can’t just take up two spots by yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenwan was unconcerned. \"I’ll just pay extra, then. It’s no big deal. Second Sister-in-law, are you even part of the Xu Family? You keep speaking up for an outsider.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Fangfang was so angry her stomach ached. ’This troublesome sister-in-law,’ she thought, ’is driving me crazy.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Fangfang was about to say more, but Gu Jiaojiao, afraid she might get too worked up while pregnant, quickly stopped her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fangfang, don’t get upset. Remember you’re pregnant!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she turned to Xu Wenwan. Not about to put up with her nonsense, Gu Jiaojiao grabbed the bundle and tossed it right into her lap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenwan was nearly knocked off the ox-cart, but luckily, her reflexes were quick, and she grabbed onto the wooden plank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she had steadied herself, Xu Wenwan exploded with rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gu Jiaojiao, what do you think you’re doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao wasn’t about to back down. \"Either we both ride this cart together, or we can get into a fight right here and neither of us will go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenwan: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A shrew. This woman is a complete shrew.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And to think I suspected my cousin had transmigrated into this book, just like me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Looking at her now, there’s absolutely no way.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’My cousin saw herself as a wealthy heiress, incredibly well-mannered. I’d never seen her lose her composure in my entire life.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This shrew in front of me definitely isn’t my cousin.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remembering she had something important to do in the County Town, she decided to swallow her anger for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sullenly, she clutched her bundle and made room for Gu Jiaojiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao sat right down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Xu Wenwan being her younger cousin, she was now more or less certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenwan’s reaction in a fit of rage was almost identical to her cousin’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, Gu Jiaojiao still wanted to test her a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew her cousin had always been most jealous of her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao deliberately tucked her long hair behind her ear, revealing her dazzlingly beautiful face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Gu Jiaojiao revealed her face, it wasn’t just Yu Fangfang and Xu Wenwan; even the two older aunties on the cart stared, unable to look away for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two aunties’ eyes went wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Good heavens,’ one of them thought, ’from a distance, I thought Gu Zhiqing was already very pretty. But up close, I see Gu Jiaojiao is so beautiful you can’t find a single flaw.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gu Zhiqing, what do you use on your face every day? How is it so supple and dewy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that fair and tender skin, you could tell at a glance she had been pampered growing up. Forget the village, they had never seen such a delicate person even in the city.\u003C\u002Fp>",836,"2026-06-05T18:11:09.759Z",1,"novelbin.me","b392aa1588139df83366957229d81678175634d63740e85e5681144f81bffd55","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-139","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-334",407,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-cover.jpg"]
