The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 224

Chapter 224: Chapter 223: Fortunately, He Didn’t Make a Move

Feng Ergou was in agony.

He didn’t even dare to touch his arm.

He was already in this state, yet these people were still standing around making snide remarks.

Feng Ergou couldn’t take it anymore.

"That’s a load of fucking bullshit! What have I ever done to have a guilty conscience? I’m a perfectly respectable person."

’I’m such a respectable person!’

’These people are just spouting nonsense and ruining my reputation. What if this gets back to Xu Wenwan and she gets the wrong idea about me?’

Feng Ergou’s face flushed red with anger.

"Cut the crap! Your pig broke my arm! Hurry up and pay me!"

The men carrying the pig were all left speechless.

"Pay you? Impossible. It’s your own damn bad luck, who else can you blame? If you’re so upset that it broke your arm, then you’d better not eat any pork."

A part of Feng Ergou wanted to refuse.

But how could he possibly give up the chance to eat it?

So he fell silent.

"Forget it. I’m a kind-hearted person, so I won’t stoop to your level."

The men carrying the pig were speechless once again.

’They’d seen shameless people before.’

’But never one who praised himself so brazenly.’

’The nerve of him to say that.’

But it was true that the situation was messy. Someone nudged the man who had been speaking.

"Forget it, let’s just get this pig moving! Everyone’s waiting for the meat!"

The man retied the pig’s bindings, and as they lifted it, he offered Feng Ergou a piece of well-intentioned advice before leaving.

"I’d advise you to get it checked out! You might have gotten tangled up with something nasty."

People in the countryside were all superstitious to some degree.

Even with the current crackdown on superstition, deep down, they still believed in the ethereal and unseen.

The group of men carried the pig away.

Feng Ergou was so furious he started to cry.

"Bullshit! I haven’t gotten tangled up with anything!"

’If he admitted that, it would be the same as admitting he’d done something to feel guilty about.’

Leng Qingtian was walking past a tree when he heard Feng Ergou’s shout. He looked on, speechless, at the sight of him sprawled on the ground.

"I say, Ergou, what’s with you? Why do you keep falling down lately?"

With that, he went over and helped Feng Ergou to his feet.

The last time the two had made a bet, it ended with Chen JianShe giving Feng Ergou a beating.

Although they had their share of friction, they got along well enough most of the time.

"Just you wait. They won’t last long."

’Once Gu Jiaojiao and Leng Yuan divorced, he would go and ask for her hand in marriage.’

’By then, she’d be a divorcée. How could she possibly look down on him?’

Feng Ergou nodded.

The two of them often got together like this to bad-mouth Leng Yuan.

After all, neither of them could stand the sight of him.

As for the wild boar, it was carried back to the production brigade.

It was winter, so there was no fear of the meat spoiling. The brigade leader knew Leng Yuan was hosting a dinner on the twenty-fourth, so he decided they would distribute the pork the day after tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow was, in fact, the twenty-fourth.

Though everyone found the timing strange, no one had any objections.

The New Year was just around the corner, after all.

If it was distributed later, they could save it for the New Year’s feast.

「The Leng Family’s Home.」

The atmosphere was somber.

Ever since Leng Qiushou and Leng ManCang had returned, the house had been devoid of laughter and cheer.

Every day, they were like ants on a hot griddle, pacing around in anxious circles.
