The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man

"Here comes the boar!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone immediately fell silent, their eyes turning toward a spot not far away.

A few strong young men appeared, struggling to carry a wild boar weighing over four hundred pounds. They heaved it onto a long table made of several smaller ones pushed together.

Leng Yuan followed behind them, carrying his tools.

The moment Gu Jiaojiao saw Leng Yuan, it was as if no one else in the world existed.

Her entire attention was captured by the man before her.

Just then, Leng Yuan looked up and their eyes met. A corner of his mouth curved into a slight smile.

Beside them, Xu Chongshan was catching his breath. Seeing Leng Yuan just standing there, he couldn’t help but follow his gaze.

He saw Gu Jiaojiao standing in the crowd, smiling at Leng Yuan.

Xu Chongshan: ...

’He knew the two of them were close, but did they have to be so lovey-dovey?’

It was enough to make his teeth ache.

"Haven’t you had enough of looking at each other at home? You have to do it here, too?"

Xu Chongshan and Yu Fangfang had a great relationship, but they were never this clingy.

Leng Yuan pulled his gaze away and looked at Xu Chongshan. His reply was concise. "My wife is beautiful."

Xu Chongshan was speechless.

"No matter how beautiful she is, you see her every day. You don’t have to be so clingy!"

"Just hurry up and butcher the meat! Everyone’s waiting!"

Xu Chongshan urged him again.

The task of butchering the meat was basically always Leng Yuan’s job. The others were just responsible for carrying the boar. The four of them were strong young lads specially chosen by the brigade leader, all of them possessing great strength.

There were the two brothers, Xu Chongshan and Xu Chongfeng, as well as Zhao Tiezhu. The fourth was another capable man from the village. All four of them always earned full work points for their labor and were exceptionally strong.

Even so, carrying this wild boar had exhausted them.

A wild boar wasn’t like a sack of grain. A hundred pounds of grain could have its weight distributed, making it relatively easy to carry. A pig was different; the weight was concentrated, making it feel much heavier.

After setting the boar down, the four men stood to the side, panting.

This was one impressively sturdy boar.

Leng Yuan said nothing and walked over to the boar.

He looked at it and decided this side wasn’t good for making the first cut.

He simply grabbed two of the boar’s legs and, with a powerful twist, flipped the massive carcass over...

Then he picked up his knife and began to cut into its belly.

Nearby, the men who were still panting heavily fell silent: ...

Xu Chongshan: ...

’The four of us used all our strength just to get it onto the table, and Leng Yuan flipped it over all by himself?’

The scene said nothing, yet it said everything.

They even heard a few stifled snickers from the crowd.

The other three men immediately stopped panting, holding their breath.

’This was a matter of a man’s pride.’

As the men thought of the culprit who had made them lose face, they all turned to look at Xu Chongshan.

Xu Chongshan gave a dry laugh and backed away, inwardly scornful.

’These guys only know how to pick on the weak and fear the strong. The one who embarrassed you was Leng Yuan. If you’ve got the guts, go settle the score with him.’

’Why are you looking at me?’

Xu Chongshan turned his face away, ignoring the sharp glares directed at him.

The men: ...

’Suddenly have the urge to punch someone. What now?’

Although Chen JianShe hadn’t been called over by the brigade leader to help, wherever Leng Yuan was, he was sure to be there.

He would volunteer to help anywhere Leng Yuan was.

However, he couldn’t get involved in the butchering, so he could only stand nearby and admire his Brother Leng’s magnificent style.

When he saw Leng Yuan flip the boar, his eyes nearly started shooting out little red hearts.

’His Brother Leng is so manly!’

With that thought, he made sure to involve the four men who had carried the boar.

"Did you guys see my Brother Leng flip that boar? What do you think? Wasn’t that awesome?"

The four men: ...

Heh. Heh. Heh.

’Does this Chen JianShe guy even have eyes? Can’t he see how awkward we already are?’

’And he’s standing here asking us *this* question.’

The men couldn’t hold back any longer. They walked over to Chen JianShe, putting on very friendly expressions.

"JianShe, there’s nothing for us to do here. Let’s go have a look over there."
