The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 420

Chapter 420: Chapter 416: Inconsiderate

Yun Hao hurried to the post office. Before he could even mail his letter, he noticed the envelope was already damp with his sweat.

He glanced at the envelope and decided not to mail it.

It would take two or three days for a letter to get from here to the city. That was too slow. He had to call home instead.

He could make a call right from the post office. Yun Hao spoke with the clerk and then dialed his family’s number.

A woman’s voice came from the other end of the line.

Yun Hao’s eyes reddened when he heard the voice. "Mom."

The woman on the other end paused for a moment. "Hao! Why the sudden call? Did something happen?"

Yun Hao couldn’t bring himself to explain what was happening, so he could only speak vaguely. "Mom, can you find a way for me to return to the city? It’s urgent. It would be best if it could be settled in the next day or two."

The woman on the other end frowned. "Hao, you know our family’s situation. It would be... complicated if you came back now. It’s not that your father and I don’t want you back, but things are very tense with the higher-ups right now. You’ve always been the most understanding one. Can you wait a little longer? Your father and I will definitely find a way to bring you back then."

Yun Hao couldn’t stay calm.

If he couldn’t return to the city, he would have to marry Xu Wenwan. He really, truly did not want to marry that woman.

"Mom, I’ve never asked you for a single thing in my entire life. Can’t you just help me this once? This is really important to me."

Her son’s words angered the woman. "Hao, why are you becoming so unreasonable? Things are tense right now! You suddenly ask me to find a job for you—where am I supposed to arrange that? You’re not being considerate of us at all. Other people manage to go to the countryside, so why do you have such a huge problem with it?"

"You think about it!"

With that, she hung up the phone.

Yun Hao listened to the dial tone buzzing from the receiver, his heart plunging into an icy abyss.

On the other end, the woman hung up the phone, her brow tightly furrowed.

"Don’t worry about it," he said. "I happen to have a friend in the county where Hao was sent. I’ll ask him to help keep an eye on him."

As for getting him a job, there was truly nothing he could do.

The political climate was just too tense. If he did something like that and his rivals got ahold of it, he probably wouldn’t be able to keep his position as factory director.

Yun Hao was unaware of the discussion that followed in the Yun Family home.

He hung up, paid for the call, and stumbled out onto the street, completely dejected. Just then, he happened to see people being paraded in a procession again. Even from a distance, he could still hear the sounds of beatings, curses, and shouting.

He gave a self-mocking laugh, tore the letter in his hand to shreds, and threw it into a trash can.

Since his own parents wouldn’t help him, he now had only one choice left: marry Xu Wenwan.

Pressing his lips into a thin line, Yun Hao started walking back toward the Qingshan Team.
