But at home, she complained about everything, didn’t do a lick of work, and now here she was outside, helping a stranger. It left a bad taste in his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xu Wenwan saw her dad staring at her with obvious displeasure, her eyes darted and she cozied up to him, hugging his arm coquettishly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, I just came over to help because I saw how hard you were working.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I grew up in the city, so I’ve never done this kind of farm work before, but I’m willing to learn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenwan’s words softened Village Chief Xu’s expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Xu Wenwan had grown up in the city with a comfortable life. She’d never done farm work and wasn’t used to manual labor in the countryside, but this was just how country life was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t have the ability to give her a city lifestyle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his daughter wanted to become part of this family, she would definitely have to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, seeing Xu Wenwan show a willingness to learn and work, Village Chief Xu’s expression immediately softened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s good that you think that way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday, when he got home, he’d found out that his newly returned daughter had almost caused his daughter-in-law to miscarry. He had blown up at her on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was his child and had only just returned, so he let it go after a few harsh words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, he had his wife give their second son some money to buy their daughter-in-law something nutritious to eat, and only then was the matter considered closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just yesterday he’d been worried his daughter wouldn’t be able to adapt to country life, but today he saw her offering to help on her own initiative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’His words yesterday hadn’t been in vain after all. His daughter had actually listened.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this thought, he was delighted and readily handed the task over to Xu Wenwan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenwan took the tool and began helping Yun Hao fill the grain sacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the village chief had agreed, the surrounding people stood to the side and watched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenwan composed herself, held the tool with a delicate, orchid-finger grip, scooped up some grain, and slowly poured it into Yun Hao’s sack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every scoop, she would flash a sweet smile at Yun Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenwan knew how to dress herself up. She had a centipede braid tied with a floral ribbon, looking graceful and pretty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was also wearing delicate makeup, and combined with her unusual bearing, she naturally drew everyone’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, her elegant working posture, while beautiful to look at, was so slow that after all this time, she hadn’t even filled half a sack...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this rate, the grain distribution that should have taken half a day would probably drag on until tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd couldn’t help but look toward Village Chief Xu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Village Chief Xu’s face instantly darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He strode forward, snatched the tool from Xu Wenwan’s hands, and spoke in a stern tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re not needed here. Go home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t even bear to watch the way his own daughter was making eyes at the boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being scolded by Village Chief Xu in public, Xu Wenwan’s eyes instantly turned red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of pity crossed Yun Hao’s eyes, and he almost stepped forward to comfort her. But then he remembered all the people watching; he couldn’t ruin Wen Wan’s reputation, so he held himself back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he spoke up for Xu Wenwan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Village Chief, Comrade Xu was just trying to help. Her movements might be clumsy, but her intentions are good. You shouldn’t scold her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Village Chief Xu’s face grew even darker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’When did I scold my daughter?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’In the end, it was all this pretty boy’s fault.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our family’s affairs don’t require Yun Zhiqing’s involvement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xu Wenwan saw Yun Hao getting scolded for her sake, she couldn’t take it anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could be criticized, but her man could not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, how can you say that? Brother Yun Hao was just being kind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, we grew up together. He was just trying to speak up for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What did he do wrong?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Village Chief Xu: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiaojiao: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Villagers: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",788,"2026-06-05T18:11:09.759Z",1,"novelbin.me","99c4035e5d6b2fceaff97ea546fb8bfa5fbe7e1275ad22e19e25a7c3c7cd3313","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-90","the-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-chapter-88",407,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-delicate-darling-with-her-rough-man-cover.jpg"]
