Gu Jiaojiao hit someone’s kid, and these parents are going to demand an explanation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speaker was Wu Cuizhi, and her tone was dripping with schadenfreude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She still remembered the time Gu Jiaojiao had won a yuan from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that there was a spectacle involving Gu Jiaojiao to watch, she certainly wasn’t going to miss it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of which, Wu Cuizhi hadn’t seen Gu Jiaojiao in a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been busy going up the mountain recently. Aside from bumping into Gu Jiaojiao on the first day, she hadn’t run into her since.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly because she felt that nothing good ever came from meeting Gu Jiaojiao, so she had been actively avoiding her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today there was drama to see—especially Gu Jiaojiao’s drama—so Wu Cuizhi immediately tagged along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenwan’s brow furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The system said before that once a task is triggered, it takes effect immediately. It’s been over ten hours since last night. Could it just be activating now?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenwan didn’t dwell on it. Seeing the angry mob, she also hurried to follow the large crowd of spectators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Leng Yuan’s house.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao had just finished tidying up Sweet Girl when a coarse, loud voice boomed from the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gu Jiaojiao, you get your ass out here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the house, Chen Erniu’s face paled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister-in-law, I forgot to lock the gate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao’s expression was calm, not the least bit flustered. She even comforted Chen Erniu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t be afraid. It’s nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she took a sharp knife from its place on the wall by the door and walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the very knife her father-in-law used to kill wild boars. One stab was all it took.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao went out carrying the knife. She slammed the butt of it onto the ground, her voice steady. \"Who’s calling for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knife was over a meter long and had been sharpened to a fine edge. In the daylight, it glinted with a white light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone with a sharp eye recognized the knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t that Leng Junsheng’s knife?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Years ago, wild boars had come down from the mountains to steal food, destroying many fences and ruining many vegetable patches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could do anything about the boars, but then Leng Yuan’s father took this very knife and stabbed two of them to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew that wild boars had tough, thick hides and were not easy to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Leng Yuan’s father’s knife cut through a boar as if it were tofu, skewering it in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that knife, the image of Leng Junsheng killing the wild boars was as vivid as if it were yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people gulped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gu Zhiqing, don’t get worked up. We can talk this out, we can talk this out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Talk my ass! Gu Jiaojiao, you dared to hit my son? Watch me beat you to death today!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Chen Yan, the village’s infamous shrew. She was used to throwing her weight around and didn’t take Gu Jiaojiao seriously at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She wouldn’t actually use it, would she?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had long been unable to stand the sight of Gu Jiaojiao. How could someone so lazy, with such a stinking reputation, manage to marry Leng Yuan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And to top it off, Leng Yuan doted on her so much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even built a thresher for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’On what grounds?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She’s just a lazy hag with a pretty face. If that face were ruined, would Leng Yuan still dote on her?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malice grew in Chen Yan’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, she had just come to get an explanation for her son, but seeing how well-cared-for Gu Jiaojiao looked, she couldn’t help but feel a surge of jealousy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to destroy that face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yan was a seasoned fighter in the village and knew how to inflict the most pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone who had fought with her had suffered for it in subtle ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t cut her fingernails in days, and they had grown out quite a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a moment’s hesitation, she lunged, clawing straight for Gu Jiaojiao’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the onlookers saw this, their hearts clenched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Gu Zhiqing’s face is so fair and delicate. It would be such a shame if it were disfigured.’\u003C\u002Fp>",817,"2026-06-05T18:11:09.760Z",1,"novelbin.me","ba490f611ed8bbcd8a0f49997423c81a8b81fe5f7b76ce75c0f3e00726525f92","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-156","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-154",407,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-cover.jpg"]
