As long as he could get Leng Yuan to his village and maybe get some advice, that would be a huge deal for their grain harvest.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’For the sake of his village’s harvest, what was enduring a few dirty looks? He was more than willing.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Yuan was a man of few words, but that didn’t mean he was impolite. When Li Dashan came over to speak with him, Leng Yuan still engaged in conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even offered a few ideas in response to the man’s questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Dashan’s eyes lit up, and his gaze on Leng Yuan grew even more fervent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people from the other teams were all dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew what a character Li Dashan was—as thick-skinned as a city wall, but also incredibly shrewd. He was what people would call \"sly as a monkey,\" with a thousand schemes up his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, to see him grinning and staring so intently at a handsome young man left everyone baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, someone spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t tell me Li Dashan has taken a liking to that young fellow and wants to marry his daughter off to him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of which, Li Dashan’s daughter was already sixteen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arranging a marriage at sixteen was a little early, but not unheard of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Beiguo, who was standing nearby, shot Li Dashan a contemptuous look before pulling Leng Yuan behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to intervene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn’t, he was afraid this shameless bastard would actually succeed in poaching Leng Yuan for his own village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Dashan, this is a meeting room! Did you think you were here for a matchmaking session? Everyone just thought you were trying to marry your daughter off to Leng Yuan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Li Dashan heard this, he was struck by the idea. It actually sounded pretty reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If he married his daughter to Leng Yuan, wouldn’t that forge an even closer bond!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What a great idea.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he quickly snapped out of it. Remembering how protective Leng Yuan was of his wife, he shivered and turned to shout at the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What nonsense are you all spouting? My daughter is only sixteen, what’s all this talk about marriage? Besides, Comrade Leng Yuan is already married! His wife is beautiful, and they’re a perfect match. If I hear any more of this rubbish, don’t blame me for getting rough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would have loved to have Leng Yuan as a son-in-law, but it was a shame his daughter was too young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, he had met Gu Jiaojiao, and he wasn’t confident that his own daughter could ever compare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of looks and knowledge, let alone her sheer presence and sharp mind, Gu Jiaojiao was leagues ahead of his daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone had thought Leng Yuan wasn’t married!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked so young, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that they knew he was married, they all stopped joking around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even though the jokes stopped, the crowd only grew more curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they weren’t mistaken, this Comrade Leng Yuan was from Qingshan Team, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Dashan was the team leader of Li Jiawan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jiawan had won the Advanced Village title for two years straight. Everyone had expected them to make it a three-peat this year, but to their surprise, Qingshan Team had snatched the honor away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, there should have been some bad blood between Li Dashan and Chen Beiguo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But here was Li Dashan being incredibly enthusiastic toward a member of Qingshan Team. No matter how you looked at it, something wasn’t right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A curious team leader sidled up to Chen Beiguo, eager to ask a question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beiguo, what’s gotten into Li Dashan? Why is he fawning all over that young man from your team?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Beiguo pursed his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What else could it be? He’s obviously after Leng Yuan’s talent.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to speak but then thought about the threshing machine. All these other leaders had been green with envy back then, too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I can’t talk about that.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leng Yuan is a teacher. Maybe he just has some homework to ask about!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",756,"2026-06-05T18:11:09.760Z",1,"novelbin.me","dd7a3f47060401c1dbbee989de56f491182516483998df8051d5eaeb3718a14f","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-400","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-398",407,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-cover.jpg"]
