But for the village kids, children his age seemed to be able to run up the mountain on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The adults would always warn them, though, not to go too deep into the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao paused for a moment before speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, but can he take care of himself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweet Girl nodded at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, he can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group was the same as yesterday, but with the addition of Xiao Yang. The little guy didn’t say a word, but his eyes were always watching Gu Jiaojiao warily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It was actually a little funny!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strangely enough, while Xiao Yang was wary of her and everyone else, a flash of admiration would occasionally cross his dark eyes when he looked at Leng Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao almost thought she was seeing things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Admiration?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at the man beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was single-handedly pulling the flatbed cart, yet walking faster than all of them who were empty-handed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That really was something to admire.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Boys, in particular, worship strength. Forget Xiao Yang—isn’t a grown man like Chen JianShe acting like a little fanboy, too?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group headed up the mountain together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, they occasionally ran into some of the village aunties. Gu Jiaojiao greeted the ones she knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When others she didn’t know took the initiative to greet Leng Yuan, Gu Jiaojiao would also offer a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for those who stood in the distance making snide remarks, Gu Jiaojiao didn’t waste any pleasantries on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s just the kind of person she was—she responded to kindness, not coercion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If people were nice to her, she was nice back. But if they had ill intentions, Gu Jiaojiao refused to indulge them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So what if they’re my elder and I’m their junior? Bullshit.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I was just born a few years after you. That doesn’t mean I have to kiss up to you.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao never paid any mind to these so-called conventions and moral blackmail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Gu Jiaojiao gave some of them the cold shoulder, they still crowded around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More and more people gathered around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t Gu Jiaojiao drawing them in, but the flatbed cart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news that Leng Yuan’s house now had a flatbed cart was a huge deal in the Qingshan Team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in the entire Qingshan Team, with nearly two hundred households, only five families owned a flatbed cart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Yuan had the honor of becoming the sixth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few aunties stared at the flatbed cart Leng Yuan was pulling, marveling at the novelty. One of them even stepped forward to touch it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, I’ll be. It’s a real flatbed cart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To think you can make a flatbed cart out of wood. That’s incredible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she said, her face full of envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having a flatbed cart would save so much trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When others with carts gathered firewood, they could get a huge pile in just three or four trips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But doing it by hand, they could only gather a little at a time. It took them a dozen trips back and forth just to match a single cartload.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All that time was wasted just on the travel back and forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was nothing to be done. Everyone was poor, and they couldn’t bear to spend the money to buy a cart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, seeing the wooden cart Leng Yuan had, they started to get ideas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leng Yuan, the wood is free anyway, why don’t you make one for me too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This person was unbelievably shameless.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao heard this and couldn’t help but marvel at how the woman had the gall to say such a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speaker was an older woman, so her man couldn’t argue with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Gu Jiaojiao wasn’t afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before transmigrating, she had been a rich, pampered beauty who never cursed at anyone. But now she was a member of the Qingshan Team. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And learning how to curse was a major part of fitting in.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shot right back at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Auntie, since the wood is free, you can just make one yourself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s actually very simple, just a few pieces of wood put together. A kind-looking and obviously smart woman like you, Auntie, could surely learn how to do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",759,"2026-06-05T18:11:09.760Z",1,"novelbin.me","e3b01d082f98108c810bed1abe31bc82a5fe734836a5f34aedd83c54a1e8d178","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-177","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-175",407,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-cover.jpg"]
