The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 457

Chapter 457: Chapter 453: Sought After

Chen Shulan’s face was swollen, and she’d bitten the inside of her mouth. Gu Jiaojiao had even ripped out a small clump of her hair. With her face smeared with tears and mud, she looked absolutely wretched.

To make matters worse, no one around paid her any mind. After crying on the ground for a bit, Chen Shulan picked herself up and scurried away in disgrace.

After the vicious beating from Gu Jiaojiao, Chen Shulan was filled with both hatred and fear.

Meanwhile, Sun Yeshu pulled Auntie Sun aside and violently shook off her mother’s arm.

"Mom, what was that all about? Why on earth would you claim Second Brother was beaten to death by Leng Yuan? Do you have any idea how humiliating that was?"

For Sun Yeshu, who had been admired since childhood, watching her mother wail on the ground and accuse Leng Yuan of murder while onlookers pointed and gossiped was the most humiliating moment of her life.

Auntie Sun felt wronged herself.

"I was just so worried! It’s all the fault of those gossips. If they hadn’t told me your brother’s head had been smashed in, would I have been crying like that?"

"Now what are we going to do?"

Auntie Sun grew frantic. She had made such a fool of herself, making the entire Sun family the village laughingstock. If word of this spread, how would her youngest son ever find a wife, or her daughter get married?

Sun Yeshu’s eyes shifted, an idea forming in her mind. Thinking of the competition between her brother and Leng Yuan, she patted the back of her mother’s hand.

"Don’t worry, Mom."

"Leng Yuan just agreed to a competition with my brother. If Leng Yuan loses, Gu Jiaojiao will have to kowtow and apologize to me. Tell me, who’s going to be the more humiliated one then?"

A smile immediately bloomed on Auntie Sun’s face.

She knew Sun Yecheng’s skill at fishing; you couldn’t find anyone in the entire Qingshan Team better than her son. Leng Yuan was doomed to lose.

Once Leng Yuan lost to Sun Yecheng and Gu Jiaojiao had to kneel in apology to Sun Yeshu, people would surely forget about her own little incident.

"Good, my clever girl. You always have a plan."

Sun Yeshu looked proud. "Mom, I’m not going back with you. I have to go wait for Gu Jiaojiao to kowtow and apologize to me!"

"Fish are hardest to catch in the winter, yet your brother has already caught nine in just over half an hour."

Sun Yeshu’s eyes lit up at the news.

’Her brother’s luck was exceptionally good today. Normally, he wouldn’t catch this many fish in an entire day, yet today he’d caught this many in just over half an hour.’

A proud look appeared on Sun Yecheng’s face.

’This time, I used a whole white steamed bun for bait each time I cast my line, which attracted far more fish than usual. That, combined with my quick reflexes, is why I was able to catch so many.’

’On a normal day, I’d be reluctant to use even half a white steamed bun for the entire day.’

’White flour is very valuable these days; using too much just isn’t cost-effective.’

’After all, fish meat only sells for a few dimes a pound, while a white steamed bun costs a dime all by itself.’

’If I hadn’t brought two white steamed buns for my own lunch, I wouldn’t have had so much to use as bait!’
