The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 284

Chapter 284: Chapter 280: Encouraging Each Other

’Jealous?’

What a joke.

Leng Yuan was so deep in debt. If Mrs. Chen actually lent him the money, she might never get it back.

She shook her head.

She thought Mrs. Chen would definitely come to regret it.

Mrs. Chen, however, looked perfectly calm.

Others might not know what Leng Yuan was capable of, but she had a pretty good idea.

His hunting skills alone ensured that he would never be too bad off.

’These people have no foresight at all.’

Mrs. Chen glanced at Chen JianShe, feeling increasingly clever the more she thought about it.

Thank goodness she had encouraged her son to be close with Leng Yuan since they were little. Otherwise, why would Leng Yuan ever bother to include her foolish boy in anything?

With these thoughts, Mrs. Chen walked away, beaming with satisfaction.

In the distance, the woman who had just warned Mrs. Chen gathered a group of her friends, and they began whispering among themselves.

Seeing the smile on Mrs. Chen’s face, they all shook their heads.

"She usually seems so sharp. How can she be acting so foolish now? What future could there possibly be in sticking with Leng Yuan?"

"If he were willing to go to the County Town with his aunt, that would be one thing. But staying here in the village, saddled with all that debt he can’t repay... life was already tough enough. Now he’s married a delicate little wife, so things are only going to get harder."

The other women all nodded in agreement.

Isn’t that the truth.

Leng Yuan’s life from now on was probably going to be a hard one.

Gu Jiaojiao, of course, had no idea what these people were thinking.

She walked straight over to Leng Yuan.

Even in the dead of winter, Leng Yuan had worked up a sweat butchering the wild boar.

Unlike the others, who were bundled up tightly against the cold, he wore only a thin work jacket.

Gu Jiaojiao took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Worried he would get sick, she quickly said,

"We should head back now!"

"Are you feeling cold? Just wait for me to move the table inside, and then we’ll go home."

Otherwise, the entire Leng Family would be the ones to suffer.

Aunt Leng and Third Aunt Leng greatly admired this sister-in-law who had married a cadre. On top of that, they were hoping she could help arrange jobs for Leng Qiushou and Leng ManCang, which made them all the more obedient to her instructions.

Their sister-in-law had said it herself: they had to get on his good side.

How could they dare refuse?

But the couple, Leng Yuan and Gu Jiaojiao, wouldn’t give them the time of day.

They could only bite the bullet and approach.

The two sisters-in-law tried to give each other a pep talk.

"Second Sister-in-law, don’t be scared. We’re just going over to help, we don’t mean any harm. Gu Jiaojiao won’t get mad."

Third Aunt Leng said encouragingly.

Aunt Leng nodded.

"That’s right, Third Sister-in-law. You don’t be scared, either. We’ll go together."

The two of them let out a heavy breath, each step feeling impossibly leaden.
