The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man-Chapter 138 - 137: Gu Jiaojiao Deals With Xu Wenwan

Chapter 138: Chapter 137: Gu Jiaojiao Deals With Xu Wenwan

Gu Jiaojiao listened from the side, finding the whole thing incredibly strange.

’They’ve made up already?’

’No, that’s not right. Chen JianShe was never even mad at Leng Yuan.’

In any case, after a bit of back-and-forth, the two of them decided to go up the mountain together.

For lunch, Gu Jiaojiao made sweet and sour carp. Even though it wasn’t spicy, the two men ate with great gusto.

Gu Jiaojiao had wanted to find a chance to ask about the business with the loan sharks, but the opportunity never came, so she decided to drop it.

’Either way, I should focus on selling the fountain pen first.’

That afternoon, Leng Yuan and Chen JianShe went up the mountain, tools in hand.

Gu Jiaojiao told Leng Yuan she was going to the County Town that afternoon. He didn’t mind and gave her two large bills, telling her to spend them however she liked.

Gu Jiaojiao didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted them directly.

After the two men left, she took her back basket and headed to the village entrance.

There was no work in the fields at the moment, so the ox-cart runs had increased from once to twice a day.

When Gu Jiaojiao arrived, the ox-cart was already waiting at the village entrance.

She wasn’t early; there were already four people on the cart, one of whom Gu Jiaojiao recognized.

It was Yu Fangfang.

Seeing Gu Jiaojiao, Yu Fangfang greeted her happily, "Jiaojiao."

Gu Jiaojiao smiled and walked over.

Just as she was about to get on the cart, Xu Wenwan, who was sitting to the side, abruptly placed her bundle on the empty spot.

"Sorry, Gu Zhiqing, there’s no more room!"

Only then did Gu Jiaojiao realize that the person who had just turned her face away was Xu Wenwan.

Before Gu Jiaojiao could speak, Yu Fangfang spoke up first.

"Wen Wan, there’s still a spot here. You can just hold your own bundle."

Seeing Yu Fangfang actually stick up for Gu Jiaojiao, Xu Wenwan grew annoyed. "Second Sister-in-law, this bundle is huge. How am I supposed to hold it? I’ll just leave it here!"

But Yu Fangfang disagreed. "The ox-cart can seat five people. You can’t just take up two spots by yourself."

Xu Wenwan was unconcerned. "I’ll just pay extra, then. It’s no big deal. Second Sister-in-law, are you even part of the Xu Family? You keep speaking up for an outsider."

Yu Fangfang was so angry her stomach ached. ’This troublesome sister-in-law,’ she thought, ’is driving me crazy.’

Yu Fangfang was about to say more, but Gu Jiaojiao, afraid she might get too worked up while pregnant, quickly stopped her.

"Fangfang, don’t get upset. Remember you’re pregnant!"

With that, she turned to Xu Wenwan. Not about to put up with her nonsense, Gu Jiaojiao grabbed the bundle and tossed it right into her lap.

Xu Wenwan was nearly knocked off the ox-cart, but luckily, her reflexes were quick, and she grabbed onto the wooden plank.

Once she had steadied herself, Xu Wenwan exploded with rage.

"Gu Jiaojiao, what do you think you’re doing?"

Gu Jiaojiao wasn’t about to back down. "Either we both ride this cart together, or we can get into a fight right here and neither of us will go."

Xu Wenwan: ...

’A shrew. This woman is a complete shrew.’

’And to think I suspected my cousin had transmigrated into this book, just like me.’

’Looking at her now, there’s absolutely no way.’

’My cousin saw herself as a wealthy heiress, incredibly well-mannered. I’d never seen her lose her composure in my entire life.’

’This shrew in front of me definitely isn’t my cousin.’

Remembering she had something important to do in the County Town, she decided to swallow her anger for now.

Sullenly, she clutched her bundle and made room for Gu Jiaojiao.

Gu Jiaojiao sat right down.

As for Xu Wenwan being her younger cousin, she was now more or less certain.

Xu Wenwan’s reaction in a fit of rage was almost identical to her cousin’s.

Even so, Gu Jiaojiao still wanted to test her a little.

She knew her cousin had always been most jealous of her face.

Gu Jiaojiao deliberately tucked her long hair behind her ear, revealing her dazzlingly beautiful face.

The moment Gu Jiaojiao revealed her face, it wasn’t just Yu Fangfang and Xu Wenwan; even the two older aunties on the cart stared, unable to look away for a long time.

The two aunties’ eyes went wide.

’Good heavens,’ one of them thought, ’from a distance, I thought Gu Zhiqing was already very pretty. But up close, I see Gu Jiaojiao is so beautiful you can’t find a single flaw.’

"Gu Zhiqing, what do you use on your face every day? How is it so supple and dewy?"

With that fair and tender skin, you could tell at a glance she had been pampered growing up. Forget the village, they had never seen such a delicate person even in the city.
