The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 320

Chapter 320: Chapter 316: Waiting for Leng Yuan to Be Embarrassed

Chen JianShe was sure he hadn’t said anything wrong.

But he also sensed that Chen Ruoyu’s attitude was a little off.

Just as he was pondering this, Leng Yuan walked over.

"Chen JianShe, go borrow three more tables."

With that, he handed him some candy and melon seeds.

Now that Chen JianShe had a task, he immediately scurried off to borrow the tables, completely forgetting about the matter with Chen Ruoyu.

Leng Yuan then went to the woodshed and pulled a few fish out of the water.

It wasn’t easy to produce more meat, but luckily, he still had a few fish, so he decided to take them all out.

Gu Jiaojiao had just mentioned the other Educated Youth.

She thought they were all pretty decent. Setting aside personal grudges, none of them had ever really harmed her.

Since they all meant well, Gu Jiaojiao felt this was a good opportunity to build a relationship with them.

Leng Yuan had no objections; he was happy to go along with whatever his wife wanted.

He gave the fish to Mrs. Chen and told her that the other Educated Youth would be coming. Mrs. Chen was surprised.

She had heard that Gu Jiaojiao didn’t get along with the other Educated Youth and that they all ostracized her. But looking at it now, that must have been just a rumor.

’Weren’t they all coming now?’

’If they didn’t get along, would they really come to the feast?’

However, this meant things were about to get busy.

Eight tables’ worth of food with limited ingredients would require some careful preparation.

Chen JianShe went to the homes of a few of the neighborhood aunties he was friendly with and borrowed three tables. He gave each household a large handful of melon seeds and seven or eight pieces of milk candy.

This was a rare treat. People usually only gave a couple of candies for borrowing a table, but that generous Leng Yuan had given them seven or eight.

All of them happily lent him their tables.

Some villagers on the road saw this and couldn’t help but frown.

So this time, they didn’t dare say anything.

Inwardly, however, they felt Liu Xiqing was right.

Leng Yuan’s housewarming party was practically a wedding banquet. For no one to show up to your wedding banquet was a deeply shameful thing.

Leng Yuan had set up eight tables just to keep up appearances. When they couldn’t be filled, it would be even more humiliating.

The village’s old women, along with Liu Xiqing, sat on the main path to Leng Yuan’s house, waiting to watch the embarrassing spectacle.

Chen JianShe was pushing the flatbed cart back when he ran into Xu Chongfeng and Xu Chongshan on the road. The two men hurried to catch up with him.

They had originally planned to come over earlier to help.

But Xu Wenwan had come down with a fever early in the morning.

It was strange—the night before, she had been full of spirit despite her beating, but this morning she had a high fever that wouldn’t break.

Even though they disliked their sister, they couldn’t just stand by and let her die from the fever. The two brothers immediately put her on the flatbed cart and rushed her to the County Town.

By the time they got back, it was already late. Without even stopping to rest, they had rushed over to help.
