The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man-Chapter 159 - 158: You Bastard, Lucky You Ran Fast

Chapter 159: Chapter 158: You Bastard, Lucky You Ran Fast

Everyone in the yard had left, and it suddenly fell quiet.

Seeing that Gu Jiaojiao was all right, Aunt Zhao offered a few words of comfort before heading home.

After Aunt Zhao left,

Sweet Girl started to cry.

Ever since her parents left, this was the first time someone had stood up for her.

In the past, other aunties and uncles had seen her get bullied.

At most, they would just shoo the bullies away. Some even pretended they didn’t see anything.

Every time they left, Da Niu and his gang would bully her even more relentlessly.

Sometimes, she even wished these aunties wouldn’t help her. That way, her injuries might be a little less severe.

This was the first time someone had gone to such great lengths to stand up for her.

Leng Yuan, unaware of what had happened in the village, first delivered the venison to a private estate in the County Town.

The estate had vermilion gates and gray brick walls; it was an old, well-preserved residence.

Leng Yuan didn’t know who lived there, but he knew they had to be either rich or powerful.

His father used to deliver game here often. They wouldn’t accept common prey, only rare finds.

Leng Yuan had maintained a good relationship with them over the past few years.

And they were very generous, always offering a high price.

The venison Leng Yuan brought was priced at ten yuan per jin. He had brought a total of eighty jin, so he received eight hundred yuan.

After taking the money, he made a trip to the commune and then to a factory.

It was almost noon when he left the factory. He turned and headed for Chicken Nest’s place.

He had seen a secret sign left by Chicken Nest when he went out that morning, which had left him a little uneasy.

He walked into a small alley, stopped before a double-paneled wooden door, and raised his hand to knock.

After a moment, the door was opened by Chicken Nest. Upon seeing Leng Yuan, he broke into a goofy grin, but it vanished in the next instant. His face grew sullen as he called out, "Brother Leng."

Leng Yuan walked in, carrying the back basket.

Lu Yuanbin saw him and hurried forward to take the basket.

He welcomed his Brother Leng inside.

Then he just stood there with a long face, not saying a word.

His face practically had the seven words ’I’m unhappy, you’d better cheer me up’ written all over it.

He was still seething about what happened last night.

Yesterday, Chen Jianshe had brought over a batch of facial soap, saying his sister-in-law made it and wanted him to help sell it.

He hadn’t been happy about it at all.

He’d only heard about Brother Leng’s marriage in passing from Chen Jianshe. And while it was a shock, he had been happy for him. After so many years of being single, his Brother Leng had finally brought a wife home.

He had even spent a small fortune on a gift for his new sister-in-law.

He was afraid his sister-in-law wouldn’t like him!

But what happened instead?!

’That woman is simply not worthy.’

If he hadn’t done some digging himself, he never would have known that his own Brother Leng had married a wanton woman.

He’d almost exploded with rage when he heard people talking about her.

This Gu Jiaojiao was in love with some educated youth from the Qingshan Team and had only married Brother Leng to make the other guy angry.

’What does she take Brother Leng for? A cuckold or just a tool?!’

Because of this, he hadn’t visited since Leng Yuan got married.

’I will never accept this woman as my sister-in-law.’

Lu Yuanbin had told Chen Jianshe to take the facial soap away right then and there. He wouldn’t sell something that woman made.

Over this, he and Chen Jianshe even came to blows in the middle of the night.

He thought Chen Jianshe must have been kicked in the head by a donkey. ’How could he keep defending that woman?!’

He only held back from kicking him out in the middle of the night for the sake of their brotherhood.

’Besides,’ he thought, ’a woman whose heart belongs to another man is absolutely unworthy of my Brother Leng.’

However, he still insisted that Chen Jianshe take the stuff away.

But that bastard had slipped away first thing in the morning, leaving all the facial soap behind.

Lu Yuanbin stared at the pile of facial soap and clenched his fists.

’The next time I see that bastard, I’ll make sure he gets a good thrashing.’

Just as he was fuming, Leng Yuan arrived, and Lu Yuanbin immediately took his anger out on him.

Hmph!

’He’d better explain this clearly, or I’m not backing down.’
