The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 185 - 181: Blue Bricks Delivered & Someone Begging for a Beating

Chapter 185: Chapter 181: Blue Bricks Delivered & Someone Begging for a Beating

Early the next morning, the team leader excitedly knocked on Wen Ran’s door.

Wen Ran turned over, wrapped himself tighter in the blanket, his whole body screamed, I don’t want to get up!

Hongguo was quick on her feet, hurriedly put on clothes, slipped on shoes, and ran out to open the door for the team leader.

"Uncle, what’s up today?"

Hongguo looked puzzled, "What happened?"

"Hahaha," the team leader’s face beamed with joy, "The bear, the bear is dead, where’s your sister? I have to take her to see."

"What?" The surprise on Hongguo’s face was just right, "Is it dead?"

"Yes!"

At this mention, the team leader felt it was truly divine intervention, protecting the team’s children from the bear’s harm.

Now it’s got what it deserved.

As the two were talking, Wen Ran yawned and came out, "What’s happened? I was up all night worrying and didn’t sleep well."

"Forget sleeping," the team leader now looked at Wen Ran with joy.

Although it was the wolf who took down the bear, he was still comforted looking at Wen Ran.

Hehehe.

This little intellectual might be lazy, but he’s been quite lucky and has helped everyone openly and secretly since he came to the Silly Deer Team. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

He grabbed Wen Ran, "Come on, come on, I’ll take you two sisters to see the big fat bear."

The bear was spotted by young men chopping wood on the mountain, and as dawn broke, word spread that the bear harming the team’s children had been killed by the wolf.

Looking at the mess on the ground, Wen Ran smiled, "Uncle, now you can finally breathe easy."

"Who wouldn’t say so."

Originally, he planned to apply for a batch of hunting rifles at the commune and take some young men into the mountains.

Some bears never taste human flesh and pose no threat to humans, but once they do...

The lives they claim wouldn’t just be one.

For the safety of the team, even if it costs more lives, this bear must be eradicated.

They dug a pit and buried the bear, setting everyone’s mind at ease.

Wen Ran exhaled deeply, sent Hongguo to school, and as usual went up the mountain to collect pigweed.

Just as he noted down the work points and was not yet home, he spotted Mrs. Xiao from afar.

"Aunt," Wen Ran surprisingly, "What brings you here?"

"I was worried and wanted to check on you," Mrs. Xiao looked fatigued, "Did I scare you yesterday?"

"No," Wen Ran, remembering the Xiao family’s incident, felt a pang of sadness, grabbed Mrs. Xiao’s hand with one hand, opened the door with the other, "I know you mean well, you care about me."

"Hmm," Mrs. Xiao’s eyes welled up, "I just want all the kids to be alright."

"All right, all right, rest assured, no matter when, we’ll all be fine."

It wasn’t yet time for lunch, Wen Ran collected some eggs from the chicken coop, washed his hands, sat in the yard to chat with Mrs. Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao talked on and on.

She said she knew her eldest son was unfilial, but ever since losing the fourth child, her heart softened towards the eldest. That’s why it dragged on for so long, but now she’s come to realize.

One belongs to one.

No matter how obedient and sensible the fourth was, it doesn’t affect the eldest’s nature.

Some words, if kept inside, turn into ailments.

Once spoken, they are much relieved.

Mrs. Xiao felt much better, just then a boy responsible for the house showed up, panting, "Aunt Xiao, I knew you’d be here, come and have a look.

The green bricks your fifth brother bought have arrived, quickly arrange someone to check them out."

"Let’s go," Wen Ran offered, "I’ll come along too."

"Alright."

They locked the door and the three hurried over.

By this time, the newly selected site for the Xiao family’s house was surrounded by many layers of people.

All came to see this interesting scene.

After all, the Silly Deer Team doesn’t have tractors.

"Wow, this iron thing is quite something, did you hear it? When it passed, it was rumbling and spewing black smoke."

"It’s really a good thing, if only our team could have one."

"Hey! Let’s discuss it with the team leader later, let our Silly Deer Team have such a prestige too."

"Yeah right, you think this thing just comes by talking? It needs a permit and loads of money.

Even if bought, we wouldn’t have the oil coupons, what’s the use of buying it? To collect dust?"

The one speaking clearly knew something, looked at the tractor enviously, "This big guy eats oil like crazy, our team can’t maintain it."

Gao Le laughed heartily, "Ladies, mothers, no rush, once the Silly Deer Team develops, we can apply for permits to buy a tractor too!"

"Oh, the young man speaks well, our team will have one sooner or later."

Wen Ran and Mrs. Xiao arrived.

Mrs. Xiao was also pleasantly surprised to see Gao Le, "Xiao Gao, is that you!"

Gao Le jumped down from the tractor, "Aunt, you forgot! After I left the transport team, I became a tractor driver back in my hometown."

Then, he didn’t forget to greet Wen Ran.

Knowing that she and Xiao Chenye hadn’t officially married, Gao Le refrained from making jokes, only politely calling her Wen Zhiyou.

Wen Ran nodded and greeted in return.

"Oh, right, right, right, look at my memory," Mrs. Xiao quickly invited him in, "Oh dear, it was really hard for you, there’s nothing here, well, after unloading the green bricks, stay for a meal at my place before leaving."

"Auntie, no rush, let’s unload the green bricks first, I still have to hurry back."

Mrs. Xiao felt embarrassed, "That won’t do, not easy coming all this way, can’t let you go on an empty stomach."

Gao Le laughed, "Aunt, the fifth brother ordered a lot of green bricks, I have to come back with another load this afternoon, I’ll stay for dinner then."

"Alright, alright."

These words set Mrs. Xiao’s mind at ease.

The young men engaged to build the house crowded around, no need for Mrs. Xiao and Wen Ran to lift a finger.

As a few talked, some curious people began asking.

"Is the house being built to marry a wife?"

"Well, the previous house had been lived in for three years, no matter how well-maintained it was, it’s a bit rundown, so this switch is quite fitting too."

"Didn’t your family say it would cost hundreds to marry Wen Ran? Now, with a brick house built, you still have that much money?"

With these words, everything turned quiet.

The speaker was an old acquaintance, Wu Juhua.

She thought she’d caught the Xiao family in a bind and smugly said, "Speak up, why are you silent?"

Faced with such questioning, the best reaction isn’t to answer or rebut, but...

Wen Ran grinned, took a step forward, raised her hand, and with a slap, hit her directly.

"What did you just say? I didn’t hear you clearly, say it again."

Wu Juhua covered her face, stared at Wen Ran, speechless, "You..."

"Slap~"

Another slap with the back of the hand, "What did you say?"

Wu Juhua had nothing left to say, covered her face, crying like a dog, and ran away.

See?

No matter what is said, nothing beats the directness of two slaps.
