The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 370

Chapter 370: Chapter 366: My Husband is Amazing

When Gu Jiaojiao finished reading, she found Leng Yuan looking at her with an I-knew-it expression. She couldn’t resist walking over and pinching his cheek.

"My husband is just so wonderful."

In this era, it was incredibly rare for an editor to be chasing someone for a manuscript. It just went to show how brilliant her husband’s writing was.

She had read his work before.

Even with her own worldly experience, she had to admit that Leng Yuan’s writing was exceptional.

It was deeply moving and gave people strength.

In this particular social climate, many people were just living numbly, unable to see any hope.

But Leng Yuan’s work was able to give his readers that very hope and strength. Reading it felt like parting the clouds to see the first light of dawn.

She finally understood now why some people chose to abandon the sword for the pen.

The power of words, though intangible, could influence far more people.

This payment was for three articles. Leng Yuan’s work was paid by the character, at a rate of one fen each. The articles varied in length, but the three of them totaled around six thousand characters. The remittance slip was for sixty-two yuan, and it also came with some rare ration tickets.

Gu Jiaojiao couldn’t help but give her husband a thumbs-up.

"Honey, you’re incredible. I really hit the jackpot with you."

Back then, a steel mill worker only made twenty-eight yuan a month, yet her husband could earn over sixty just by writing a few articles. If anyone else found out, Leng Yuan would instantly become a hot commodity.

’We absolutely have to keep a low profile.’

Gu Jiaojiao felt that her husband’s decision not to let others know he submitted articles showed great foresight.

Although the brigade leader and Chen JianShe knew he submitted articles and got paid for them, they didn’t know the exact amount. And it was a good thing they didn’t.

’Since ancient times, wealth has always been a temptation.’

’It wasn’t that she thought *they* would get greedy,’ she mused. ’The problem was that if they accidentally let it slip, *other* people would.’

Keeping some money for yourself wasn’t selfish; it was ensuring you always had a way out.

’Never test human nature.’

Seeing that the water was boiling, Gu Jiaojiao scooped the eggs out of the pot.

Pork belly was the best for this braised pork dish. A cut with three parts fat and seven parts lean was ideal—it was the most delicious part of the pig.

She put the thick slices of meat into the wok, searing the skin side until it was wrinkled and browned like a tiger’s stripes. The hard-boiled eggs went in next, fried until they developed the same pattern, followed by a quick fry for the chili peppers.

Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang were outside practicing their writing. When the aroma wafted out, their two pairs of little eyes couldn’t help but turn toward the kitchen.

Even though they ate meat every day, they still couldn’t resist the temptation of that wonderful smell.

Besides, Gu Jiaojiao’s cooking was even better than a chef’s at a state-run restaurant.

It smelled so good!
