If you don’t want yours, just hand it over and we’ll divide it among the others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The village chief looked directly at her, his gaze sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it hadn’t been for the incident where she mistreated Sweet Girl, the village chief wouldn’t have thought much of it. But now, whenever Chen Shulan spoke, he couldn’t help but feel irritated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the village chief looking like he was about to take back the wild boar meat, Chen Shulan panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, Lin Daya and Lin Tie Dan, also afraid the pork would be taken away, hurriedly tugged at Chen Shulan’s sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ma, we want to eat meat! We want meat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shulan’s head started to throb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’We barely get to eat meat once a year. Of course I want to eat it, don’t I?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I only brought this up for everyone’s benefit.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’m an honest person, not some schemer. Dividing the pork is supposed to be fair.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But the village chief is clearly biased toward Leng Yuan.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had no choice but to back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Village Chief, I was wrong. You’re right. This share should have gone to Leng Yuan in the first place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If you’re going to admit you’re wrong, then just do it. Don’t apologize while still looking defiant. Isn’t that just asking for trouble?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Chen Shulan said this, she felt a pang in her heart, as if her noble character as an \"honest person\" had been stained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s so painful to say things you don’t mean.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up and saw that everyone was still staring at her relentlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shulan: ... ’What, are they still not satisfied?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Wasn’t what I said enough?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shulan gritted her teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’ll do whatever it takes for this pork.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Village Chief, butchering the pig was hard work for Leng Yuan, too. I think we should give him some extra work points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What nonsense is this woman spouting now?!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The village chief, however, nodded. He felt that after all her blathering, Chen Shulan had finally said something sensible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have a point. Carving up the pig was indeed hard work. Let’s give him twelve work points, then! Everyone else gets six.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The men who had carried the pig also respected Leng Yuan, so they had no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They glared at Chen Shulan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Why on earth did she have to bring up work points? Is she crazy?!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Weren’t they saying she had a grudge against Leng Yuan?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But today, it doesn’t look like they’re enemies. It’s more like he’s her benefactor.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shulan: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’No, I’ve already forced myself to say this much, and these people are still not satisfied?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If I say any more, this pork won’t be worth it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she jutted out her chin and stubbornly refused to say another word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how threateningly they looked at her, she remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This woman just handed Leng Yuan free work points, and she’s acting so self-righteous about it?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What is this urge to hit someone?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The village chief couldn’t be bothered with these petty squabbles. The pork was divided, so he just waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, it’s time to make lunch. Everyone go home and cook!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the village chief spoke, Chen Shulan grabbed her pork, pulled her two children along, and left quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If I stay any longer, I’m really afraid I’ll get beaten up.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’These people are such bastards, always picking on an honest person!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd watched her vanish in a flash, fuming with frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let’s go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The village chief had spoken, so the matter was set in stone. Besides, Leng Yuan really had put in the effort to butcher the pig.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He deserved the extra work points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most people were reasonable about it, but a few were consumed by jealousy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Feng Ergou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He considered himself stronger than Leng Yuan by more than just a little, but his luck could never compare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back when Leng Yuan’s parents were alive, his family had been well-off. But after he became an orphan, Feng Ergou had thought Leng Yuan would never be able to compare to him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Leng Yuan had married a pretty \"educated youth\" wife, while he was still a bachelor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was even more infuriating was that Leng Yuan’s life was getting better and better!\u003C\u002Fp>",737,"2026-06-05T18:11:09.760Z",1,"novelbin.me","0fdab72b2e114b040e4fe792fdd3932c0d682b6f0f387adf089f4fe690874f28","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-283","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-364",407,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-cover.jpg"]
