Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 149: Xu Qinghuan, Was It You!

Xu Qinghuan imagined what he must look like right now, seeing his reactions. She couldn’t help but want to laugh, deliberately putting on a stern little face, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

If he dared to lecture her about core values, she’d break off the engagement immediately.

The wind blew, disheveling a strand of her hair onto her lips. Jiang Xingye used his long fingers to hook up that strand, tucking it behind her ear, "Whatever you need, let me handle it. It’s not good for a girl to stay up late. Even with Qing Xiao, it’s not safe."

Xu Qinghuan smiled satisfactorily as she pinched Jiang Xingye’s cheeks, "Alright, then tomorrow morning get a few more people to go to Sun Lair’s house and let them help watch the fun."

As she was about to leave, Jiang Xingye hugged her waist and pressed her face close to him, giving her a hard kiss before letting go.

Xu Qinghuan was overjoyed; this man was truly irresistible. Even just a simple kiss, with that wild and alluring aura, screamed charisma.

At four-thirty in the morning, the work horn blared. Xu Qinghuan didn’t need to go to work, but she also wanted to watch the fun, so she quickly got up.

Yu Xiaomin had already gotten up first and was soaking clothes by the well. The pot was already cooking cornmeal soup, a circle of pancakes was stuck on the pot edge, with greens and chopped tomatoes in the soup, creating a vibrant red, yellow, and green, very appetizing.

Chen Dewen and the others were partnering with them during the rush harvest. Once the door opened, the three of them came over.

"I’ll cook lunch and dinner; I don’t have to go to work." Xu Qinghuan said.

"Ah, why don’t you have to go to work while we have to?" Dai Yifeng wailed. Ever since the team set the harvest schedule, he had dreaded the arrival of this day, preferring death.

Everyone laughed at his antics and awaited the explanation.

Xu Qinghuan said, "The county hospital has hired me as a doctor; I work there three days a month. Normally, I just act as a barefoot doctor in the countryside."

Tang Jinmei had been transferred to the commune. After finishing the handover with Xu Qinghuan today, she wouldn’t be back tomorrow.

"Huanhuan, you’re really amazing!" Yu Xiaomin wasn’t envious; such skills weren’t something you could achieve just by wanting them.

"So, during the harvest, I’ll do my best to handle logistics for you all. Keep it up, young lads!" Xu Qinghuan raised a small fist, earning a bunch of eye rolls.

She burst into laughter.

"Wash the dishes!" Qiao Xinyu placed the dishes on the table, deliberately aggressive.

Although Xu Qinghuan was washing dishes, Chen Dewen filled the water tank. Zheng Siqi and Dai Yifeng watered the vegetable fields in the front and back yards, while Yu Xiaomin and Qiao Xinyu took the chance to wash clothes.

The horn blared for the second time, and Xu Qinghuan followed behind the five heading to the youth spot. Jiang Xingye also stepped out when they were about to leave, quickly catching up.

Dai Yifeng and the other two greeted him. Just after exchanging a few pleasantries, they heard a commotion. A woman hurrying to watch the scene yelled to Jiang Xingye, "Xingye, hurry, something’s happened at Sun Lair’s house. Get a move on before you miss it."

Qiao Xinyu took off running, with Xu Qinghuan and Yu Xiaomin following closely behind. Jiang Xingye rushed to catch up, and the three with Chen Dewen were anxious not to miss it.

They hurriedly arrived to find Sun’s yard and main room filled with people. Qiao Xinyu, like a squirrel, ducked and squeezed through the crowd, Xu Qinghuan closely behind.

How could she not be there to watch such an event, having crafted the script herself!

Kong Lijuan woke up bewildered, seeing so many people staring at her. She realized she wasn’t covered with a quilt, and was shockingly close with another person, as if struck by thunder.

She quickly pulled the quilt around herself. Sun Lair hadn’t woken yet, and as he reached out to embrace someone, thinking it a dream, let out a snore.

He slowly woke up, equally stunned and unsure of what to do.

"Ah, couldn’t wait a whole night!" A woman clapped and laughed, mischievously tugging the quilt away. Immediately, red marks on Kong Lijuan and long scratches on Sun Lair were plainly visible.

Qiao Xinyu exclaimed an "ow," and Chen Dewen pulled her behind him, shielding her sight.

Xu Qinghuan didn’t get a good look before her eyes were covered by warm palms, a burst of comforting pine fragrance overwhelming the teasing scent of osmanthus in the room.

Xu Qinghuan wouldn’t miss such drama, clinging to Jiang Xingye’s wrist to pull his hand away. Jiang Xingye was a bit helpless and defied her for the first time, coaxing, "Be good, don’t look, it’s dirty!"

"You can’t look either!" Xu Qinghuan defiantly covered his eyes, and Jiang Xingye obediently shut his eyes, patiently saying, "Alright, I won’t look, I haven’t looked!"

He felt helpless. How could he possibly want to see something so vulgar?

Jiang Baohua had gone to the brigade early in the morning, only to find it empty. Following the noise, he found everyone gathered to watch the scene instead of going to work. On asking, he learned that Kong Zhiqing had sneaked into Sun Lair’s house at night to sleep.

He was furious, shouting, "Couldn’t wait a whole night? Said today would be certification day, but you had to sneak over at midnight?"

Qiu Linghua was so angry she could spit, cursing from outside, "Shameless hussy! Can’t sleep without a man, itching so badly she couldn’t use a cucumber herself? Had to ruin my son? What sin has my Sun family committed!"

The married women in the village said outrageous things. Someone laughed, chiming in, "How can a cucumber be as good as your son!"

Jiang Xingye worried these words would sully Xu Qinghuan’s ears, angrily shouting, "Shut up!"

Everyone saw him cover his fiancée’s ears, face red up to his neck, utterly embarrassed, bursting into laughter, "Oh, Little Wild is bashful now. Don’t be shy. You’ll know when you’re married."

Xu Qinghuan was equally embarrassed.

Sun Lair awoke amidst the crowd, stunned. On realizing he was at his place and spotting the woman beside him, he recalled that last night wasn’t a mere dream but a vivid experience.

Despite this, he wasn’t particularly pleased; after all, Kong Lijuan wasn’t hard to win over.

She sneaked onto his bed at midnight, so was she scared he wouldn’t marry her?

Sun Lair angrily got up, slapped Kong Lijuan’s face, "Bitch, what are you doing here?"

"Came to bed with you!" Wang Hongyan’s brother, Wang Baoshan, laughed in a shrill voice.

Another burst of laughter ensued, with single men, loafer types, and men with twisted views laughing sleazily.

Jiang Xingye quietly said, "Huanhuan, let’s go out!"

Truthfully, he worried that Sun Lair’s beanpole-like physique would taint Xu Qinghuan’s sight.

Xu Qinghuan made an "uh-huh" sound, being escorted out through the crowd by Jiang Xingye.

"Xu Qinghuan, was it you!"

Kong Lijuan just found Jiang Xingye protecting Xu Qinghuan like a treasure extremely irritating. Why should she endure gawking, hits, and insults, while Xu Qinghuan was worshipped like a goddess!

She was clearly asleep at the youth spot last night, yet woke up in Sun Lair’s bed.

She recalled agreeing last night that she’d report to the youth office about Jiang Xingye forcing her into marriage in the morning. Now lying in Sun Lair’s bed, saying anything was pointless—their belief in her was shattered.
