The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 729

Chapter 729: Chapter 725: A Large Sum of Money

Seeing how late it was getting, the villagers began to disperse.

However, the news that Gu Jiaojiao had received five hundred yuan still spread everywhere.

Along with it, word also got out that Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang’s brother was so promising and was sure to have a bright future.

Those who had previously thought Gu Jiaojiao was being foolish, with more money than sense for adopting two children who weren’t her own blood, were now filled with envy and jealousy.

After being yelled at by Leng Qingtian, Sun Yeshu ran straight back to her parents’ home in tears. The Sun family had always doted on their daughter, so they all stayed home to comfort her instead of going to see what the commotion was about.

It was the auntie from next door who gossiped about the matter with Mrs. Sun.

When Sun Yeshu found out, she snorted sourly. "What’s so great about it? So what if she has five hundred yuan? So what if she knows so many impressive people? That woman’s greatest failure is not having children of her own."

And wouldn’t you know it, her words received unanimous approval from the Sun family. They all thought Sun Yeshu had a point.

A woman who can’t even bear children—is she even a woman?

In the past, a woman like that was considered a criminal and could be divorced and sent back to her parents’ home immediately.

Hearing her family say all this, Sun Yeshu instantly felt vindicated.

Meanwhile, Jiang Baishu observed the environment where Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang lived, saw their exquisite toys, and noted that they were well-dressed and had filled out in the face. It was clear from every aspect that the two were being meticulously cared for.

Jiang Baishu’s gratitude toward Leng Yuan and Gu Jiaojiao deepened.

Sweet Girl told Jiang Baishu about their experiences over the past few years, and hearing it felt like a knife twisting in his heart.

What others had told him was only a fragmented version of the story. But what Sweet Girl described was her own firsthand experience. Only someone who had lived through it could know just how difficult those days had been.

For lunch, Gu Jiaojiao made noodles with a savory gravy—it was simple and quick. They had been delayed that morning and couldn’t afford to waste any more time in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, Jiang Baishu went to work as well. His work points were recorded under Gu Jiaojiao’s household, and of course, the brigade leader had no objections.

It just so happened that Leng Qingtian had collapsed.

Word was he had passed out from overwork.
