What have I ever done to have a guilty conscience? I’m a perfectly respectable person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’m such a respectable person!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’These people are just spouting nonsense and ruining my reputation. What if this gets back to Xu Wenwan and she gets the wrong idea about me?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Ergou’s face flushed red with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cut the crap! Your pig broke my arm! Hurry up and pay me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The men carrying the pig were all left speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pay you? Impossible. It’s your own damn bad luck, who else can you blame? If you’re so upset that it broke your arm, then you’d better not eat any pork.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A part of Feng Ergou wanted to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how could he possibly give up the chance to eat it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it. I’m a kind-hearted person, so I won’t stoop to your level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The men carrying the pig were speechless once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’They’d seen shameless people before.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But never one who praised himself so brazenly.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The nerve of him to say that.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was true that the situation was messy. Someone nudged the man who had been speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, let’s just get this pig moving! Everyone’s waiting for the meat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man retied the pig’s bindings, and as they lifted it, he offered Feng Ergou a piece of well-intentioned advice before leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’d advise you to get it checked out! You might have gotten tangled up with something nasty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People in the countryside were all superstitious to some degree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the current crackdown on superstition, deep down, they still believed in the ethereal and unseen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group of men carried the pig away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Ergou was so furious he started to cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bullshit! I haven’t gotten tangled up with anything!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If he admitted that, it would be the same as admitting he’d done something to feel guilty about.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Qingtian was walking past a tree when he heard Feng Ergou’s shout. He looked on, speechless, at the sight of him sprawled on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I say, Ergou, what’s with you? Why do you keep falling down lately?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he went over and helped Feng Ergou to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time the two had made a bet, it ended with Chen JianShe giving Feng Ergou a beating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they had their share of friction, they got along well enough most of the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Qingtian helped Feng Ergou sit down on the side of the path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are you headed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard Leng Yuan killed a wild boar. I’m heading over to see,\" Leng Qingtian replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? You’re saying Leng Yuan killed that boar?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Ergou exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just seen that wild boar. It had to be at least four hundred pounds, easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Leng Yuan killed a boar that big?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast to Feng Ergou’s shock, Leng Qingtian was far calmer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t we make a bet last time? I said I’d give you a hundred yuan if you could beat up Leng Yuan. What, you still haven’t done it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Ergou gave a dry laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Leng Yuan can kill a wild boar.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Like hell he was going to fight him.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still, for Leng Yuan to be able to kill a boar... there’s definitely something wrong with him. No normal person has that kind of strength. If you ask me, he’s a monster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And with Gu Jiaojiao married to him... who knows if Leng Yuan will just beat her to death one day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man who could kill a wild boar could kill someone with a small frame like Gu Jiaojiao with a single punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Qingtian completely agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gu Jiaojiao just hasn’t seen Leng Yuan’s true colors. If she knew how violent he was, she’d divorce him sooner or later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just you wait. They won’t last long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Once Gu Jiaojiao and Leng Yuan divorced, he would go and ask for her hand in marriage.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’By then, she’d be a divorcée. How could she possibly look down on him?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Ergou nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them often got together like this to bad-mouth Leng Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, neither of them could stand the sight of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the wild boar, it was carried back to the production brigade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was winter, so there was no fear of the meat spoiling. The brigade leader knew Leng Yuan was hosting a dinner on the twenty-fourth, so he decided they would distribute the pork the day after tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The day after tomorrow was, in fact, the twenty-fourth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though everyone found the timing strange, no one had any objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The New Year was just around the corner, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was distributed later, they could save it for the New Year’s feast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「The Leng Family’s Home.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere was somber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since Leng Qiushou and Leng ManCang had returned, the house had been devoid of laughter and cheer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every day, they were like ants on a hot griddle, pacing around in anxious circles.\u003C\u002Fp>",867,"2026-06-05T18:11:09.759Z",1,"novelbin.me","e5d30488ffd10f5f4de7a373991742decb7af9831c4c055f1936fabaec0dfa38","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-225","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-223",407,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-cover.jpg"]
