The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 604

Chapter 604: Chapter 600: Jealous Rivalry

Eldest Chen was drained of his fortune by Xu Wenwan. After freezing outside for most of the night, he was left completely depleted and fell ill the moment he returned.

Eldest Chen’s background was similar to Leng Yuan’s. His parents had passed away, and his relatives had found an excuse to kick him out.

However, he was already in his twenties when it happened, whereas Leng Yuan had only been sixteen.

Now, Eldest Chen was thirty and still single. It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford a wife, but rather that he didn’t want to get married.

When Eldest Chen was kicked out, even though he was in his twenties, he had no food and nowhere to live—a situation that could easily get a man killed. The village chief couldn’t bear to watch, so he found him a place to stay and arranged for him to pay the owner one yuan a month.

The village chief paid for the first month, but after that, Eldest Chen was on his own.

Perhaps driven by desperation, Eldest Chen secretly went to the County Town. There, he happened to meet a butcher and started working as a speculator.

Making two trips a month, Eldest Chen could earn about ten yuan.

Over the years, Eldest Chen had saved up a fair amount of money. He could certainly afford a wife, but the source of his wealth was difficult to explain. Besides, he wasn’t willing to settle for a plain-looking woman.

After all, that punk Leng Yuan had managed to marry Gu Zhiqing, an educated youth as beautiful as a flower. How was he any worse off!

So, Eldest Chen set his sights on Sun Yeshu. He just never expected Xu Wenwan to get divorced.

Xu Wenwan was even more beautiful than Sun Yeshu, and she was the village chief’s daughter. So, he started to get ideas.

He went to find Xu Wenwan that night, hoping to force her hand and make their union a done deal. His plan was to then go to the village chief’s house to propose marriage. Who could have known that the moment he touched her hand, all the strength would drain from his body? He was then dragged outside by Xu Wenwan and dumped at the village entrance.

He froze like that for most of the night and nearly died out there.

But this encounter had instilled in him a certain fear of Xu Wenwan.
