The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man-Chapter 92 - 91: Untamable

Aunt Zhao was also there to watch the commotion.

Hearing what Aunt Leng said, she immediately took issue with it.

"Oh, give me a break!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"You took over Leng Yuan’s house for yourselves and kicked him out."

"Even your oldest son’s job was paid for with the lives of your own brother and his wife. Yet you have the gall to call him an ungrateful wretch? You’re the one who benefited and is still playing the victim."

"Saying such shameless things in broad daylight—aren’t you afraid your brother and his wife will come back to haunt you at night?"

Aunt Leng’s face instantly darkened.

These were the very words she couldn’t stand to hear.

She lashed out furiously.

"Nonsense! I’ll rip your mouth off!"

"My son got that job on his own merit! And we were entitled to a share of that house to begin with. You’re spreading rumors here today, and I swear I’m going to teach you a lesson."

Aunt Zhao wasn’t afraid at all, ready to throw down with Aunt Leng. "You want a fight? You’re no match for me."

Leng Yuan, who hadn’t gone far, naturally heard the commotion as well.

He hadn’t wanted to deal with Aunt Leng, but since Aunt Zhao was involved, he couldn’t just ignore it.

He immediately put down his handcart and turned back toward the crowd.

First, he pulled Aunt Zhao to the side.

Four or five women had been struggling to hold Aunt Zhao back, but Leng Yuan simply grabbed her arm and pulled her aside.

As for Aunt Leng, she was also being held back, but she was quite strong herself. Determined to teach Aunt Zhao a lesson today, she nearly broke free from the people restraining her.

Her struggles intensified when she saw Leng Yuan arrive.

If she could get a few scratches in on Leng Yuan amidst the chaos, she’d be overjoyed.

At this thought, she used every last ounce of her strength.

Just as her claws were about to reach Leng Yuan, he remained completely still.

"You say your son’s job didn’t come from my parents? How about I go to the County Town and ask the officials about it?"

Aunt Leng froze. "Don’t you dare go!"

Leng Yuan’s expression didn’t flicker. "You’re in no position to give me orders. But if I hear you mention my parents again, it won’t just be your eldest son. Your younger son, and the three from the third branch, will all be sent packing back here to farm."

Aunt Leng completely deflated.

She knew Leng Yuan had the power to do it.

Speaking of those jobs, they really had been arranged by Leng Yuan’s father.

Leng Yuan’s father used to work in town. Even after he got married, he kept his job there, only coming back once every two weeks.

Then one time, he came home early and happened to see Leng Yuan’s mother being mistreated. In a fit of anger, he quit his job in town and came home to farm.

At the time, Grandma Leng was so furious she sat in the courtyard every day, crying and cursing. But Leng Yuan’s father paid her no mind and simply refused to go back to work.

After a while, Grandma Leng accepted it. She didn’t dare do anything to her eldest son, so she directed all her hatred toward her daughter-in-law.

She felt it was all her eldest daughter-in-law’s fault.

But her eldest son was protective of his wife, so Grandma Leng was never able to do anything to her.

Eventually, they just split from the main family.

Why was the eldest branch able to split off so easily?

It was because the eldest brother had secretly promised to find jobs in town for two sons from the second and third branches, getting them to propose the family split and convince Grandma Leng to agree.

With such a great opportunity right in front of them, they all agreed.

And that was how the eldest branch successfully split from the family.

Later, when their younger sister was able to marry into a family in town, that was also thanks to the eldest brother.

She had always found it strange. How did her eldest brother have so many connections to pull off such major feats?

So, while Leng Yuan’s father was alive, the family was quite harmonious. Whenever the old woman started causing trouble, he would go talk to his two younger brothers.

If his younger brothers didn’t want to deal with it, he would take back the jobs.

Because of this "friendly" threat from the eldest branch, they kept a tight leash on the old woman.

When the eldest brother finally died, years of their pent-up frustration erupted, and they tried to control Leng Yuan.

Leng Yuan cut off all ties with them directly.

But severing ties was one thing. Grandma Leng was old and started coming to his door to cause a scene.

Without a word, Leng Yuan beat up his cousins. He then went to the County Town. The very next day, an official from the county came and told the family that if Leng Yuan made another trip, their jobs would be gone.

The whole family was dumbfounded.

The eldest brother had passed down the method for controlling their jobs to his own son.

After that, the members of the Leng Family finally behaved themselves.

Grandma Leng didn’t dare cause trouble anymore, terrified that her grandsons would lose their jobs.

’How infuriating!!!’
