The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109: Chapter 108: Dividing the Meat

「The next day.」

The sky was still dark when Zhao Tiezhu and the other two men arrived at Leng Yuan’s courtyard.

Chen JianShe started boiling water.

Xu Chongshan and Zhao Tiezhu butchered the pig.

Since the pig was already dead, the task was much simpler. They just needed to cut it into several large pieces.

Even though Xu Chongshan had already been paid, he didn’t slack off one bit.

Leng Yuan gave each of them a large cut of meat. He had promised ten pounds, but each of them ended up with around fifteen.

Even Xu Chongshan received a small piece.

Xu Chongshan refused.

"No, I can’t. You’ve already paid me. Besides, I have too many people in my family; it would be hard to explain."

This was precisely why Xu Chongshan had refused. With so many people around, gossip traveled fast, and it would be bad if any unfavorable rumors started to spread.

He hadn’t wanted to take the money in the first place, but Leng Yuan had insisted.

Leng Yuan found an excuse for him.

"Take the pork and trade it for some eggs with someone else."

People could tell it was wild boar with one taste, but it was still meat, and others would be scrambling to get it. If he traded it for eggs, he could make up any excuse for them.

Xu Chongshan’s eyes lit up.

He really should have refused, but Yu Fangfang’s health was poor, and he wanted to get his wife something nourishing. He accepted the meat, his face flushing.

"Leng Yuan, I’ll take the meat. If you need anything in the future, just call on me."

"And before... my wife got through her ordeal safely all thanks to your wife. I never even got to thank her properly."

They hadn’t done anything yesterday, so logically, they shouldn’t have received any meat. The fact that Leng Yuan gave them some showed his kindness and willingness to share.

Leng Yuan patted Xu Chongshan on the shoulder.

"It was just a coincidence. Don’t worry about it."

By the time Gu Jiaojiao woke up, everyone else had left, leaving only Leng Yuan and a pile of butchered pork in the courtyard.

The cuts of pork were of various sizes, but they were piled neatly on the table. It was an impressive sight—a huge stack that looked to be about one hundred and seventy or eighty pounds.

Gu Jiaojiao’s eyes lit up.

’We won’t be short on meat for a while.’

"You’re the one who butchered the pig, and you’re the one who’s portioning it out. I haven’t done a thing, and I’m getting all this pork for free. I couldn’t be happier."

Because he was carrying the pork, Leng Yuan left with a shoulder pole.

He had no classes that morning and planned to sell the pork first.

He didn’t go to the black market, where the prices were low. He knew a place where he could get a better price.

Leng Yuan found his way with ease to a courtyard and knocked on the door.

A man with a head of hair like a bird’s nest answered the door. "Who is it? You’re disturbing Third Master’s sleep."

The man grumbled as he opened the door.

When he saw Leng Yuan standing outside, he jumped in surprise. "Brother Leng! What are you doing here?"

He quickly stepped aside to let Leng Yuan in.

Leng Yuan entered with the shoulder pole, and the boy, Ji Mao Tou, was still a bit surprised.

Leng Yuan got straight to the point.

"I’ve got wild boar meat here. I can give you eighty pounds. See how much you can take."
