She was badmouthing Gu Jiaojiao, yet he actually agreed with her. ’Did I mishear him from the start?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenwan felt she must have misheard him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her interest was piqued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gu Jiaojiao isn’t just lazy, she’s malicious too. She’s got her eye on someone else’s house. She claims to have adopted two children, but everyone knows she just wants their house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was talking about Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang’s house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Dashan: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And then there’s Leng Yuan. He’s so aloof, always with that cold look on his face. I have no idea how he can be a teacher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Dashan: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Who says a teacher has to smile? A serious teacher can be a good teacher, too.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xu Wenwan saw that Li Dashan didn’t disagree, she thought she’d found a kindred spirit. Seeing him pedal his bicycle toward her team’s village, she quickly spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can just drop me off here. I’ll walk the rest of the way myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I can’t possibly take this stuff home.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If my dad saw this, he’d throw it all out!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Dashan didn’t stop his bike. \"It’s no trouble. As it happens, I need to see Village Chief Xu and the team leader about something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xu Wenwan heard the man was going to see her father, she grew frantic and started yelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop the bike! I need to get off. I have other things to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Dashan stopped the bicycle. He had only been trying to help, seeing as she was a young woman carrying so many things. ’How can someone be so ungrateful!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenwan hopped off the bicycle, clutching her belongings with a displeased look on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you to stop. Honestly! Now I have to backtrack because of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Dashan: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Village Chief Xu is a decent man. How did his daughter end up so rude?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenwan completely ignored his sour expression, clutched her things, and walked off in the opposite direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Dashan was seething with frustration, but then, for some reason, he just let it go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Forget it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She’s not my daughter, after all. If anyone’s unlucky, it’s Village Chief Xu.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Qingshan Village Hall.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Beiguo returned with the documents, clutching his hair as he stared grimly at the application before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How am I supposed to start writing? It has to be magnificent without sacrificing elegance, simple yet profound. How can I make the Honorable County Magistrate feel my soul’s cry to raise pigs!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Village Chief Xu walked in, he was greeted by the sight of Chen Beiguo looking like he was in utter agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had barely stepped through the door before he was ready to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This requires some serious literary skill. Better if I don’t get involved.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’After all, I only have an elementary school education, and I studied science, not literature. This artsy stuff is beyond me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Village Chief Xu was about to turn around, Chen Beiguo glanced up and saw him preparing to leave. He immediately called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle, you’re here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, a brilliant smile bloomed on his otherwise anguished face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A muscle in Village Chief Xu’s cheek twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’When he needs something, it’s \"Uncle.\" When he doesn’t, it’s \"Village Chief Xu.\"’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That Chen Beiguo is a slippery one. I’m not falling for it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But we’re all on the same village committee, so I have to keep up appearances.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, Beiguo! I heard you went to see Leng Yuan. What brings you back so soon? Is the application finished already?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better not to have brought it up. Now that the chief mentioned it, Chen Beiguo started to wonder if Leng Yuan and Gu Jiaojiao were currently in the middle of a fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’With a delicate frame like Gu Jiaojiao’s, who knows if Leng Yuan would seriously hurt her.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this thought, Chen Beiguo felt a pang of regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If I’d known, I wouldn’t have run off just because I felt guilty. If I had stayed, I could have at least broken up the fight.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, Chen Beiguo could no longer sit still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle, could you help me take a look at this application? I honestly can’t think of any good wording.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Village Chief Xu put on an admiring expression. \"Beiguo, there’s no need to be so modest. Everyone knows you’re a talented writer. After Leng Yuan, you’re the best in the entire team. It’s just an application. I have faith in you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Trying to play the familiarity card, are we? Two can play at that game.’\u003C\u002Fp>",775,"2026-06-05T18:11:09.760Z",1,"novelbin.me","a9a2619bc5d321387b2ba6e4337f1cf2cb47ce3a9f36411d7933374cb098f29a","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-375","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-373",407,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-cover.jpg"]
