The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man

Leng Yuan grabbed Chen JianShe by the collar, stopping him from rushing forward. Still, seeing the trio’s funereal expressions, Chen JianShe couldn’t help but scoff.

"Some people just don’t know a good thing when they see it. They get the best part and still play the victim."

"The pig’s rump is all fatty meat! It’s the part other people fight for and can’t even get. He gives it to you, and you think my Brother Leng is picking on you? Is there something wrong with you?"

The villagers heard this and thought he had a point.

That pig’s rump was so fatty. Food stir-fried with it was even more fragrant than with regular pork. Leng Yuan had given it to them, yet they were still trying to cause trouble.

These educated youths couldn’t work for beans, and when they were given something good, they didn’t even know enough to appreciate it.

They just don’t get it.

The educated youths: ...

Finding themselves inexplicably targeted by the villagers, the other educated youths subconsciously distanced themselves from Yun Hao and his two companions.

’Those three are toxic.’

’Things were going just fine, but they had to stir up trouble.’

Yun Hao: ...

He was all about his image, and this was the first time people had ever avoided him like the plague. It left a bitter taste in Yun Hao’s mouth.

He couldn’t help but glance at Gu Jiaojiao.

’She has to understand why I’m doing this,’ he thought.

Gu Jiaojiao, however, was using a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Leng Yuan’s brow.

Yun Hao: ...

He scowled. ’Gu Jiaojiao shouldn’t be acting like this.’

In that moment, Yun Hao had completely forgotten about Xu Wenwan.

And Xu Wenwan wasn’t paying him any mind, either.

She was currently holding her share of the meat, her eyes gleaming.

At long last, the meat distribution was finished.

After Leng Yuan was done, a pig’s head, a pig’s tail, and some offal were left over.

These weren’t exactly the choicest parts.

Ordinarily, no one would bother buying them.

But since these were free, quite a few people were still eyeing them greedily.

The team leader told Gu Jiaojiao to just take all of it.

According to the rules, whoever killed the boar got to take these parts home.

In the distance, Chen Shulan, who had been eyeing the offal, immediately protested.

"On what grounds? The pig’s head and offal might not be the tastiest, but it’s still meat! It should be divided among everyone."

She’d been hoping to get another share!

And now Leng Yuan was being allowed to take all of it.

She wouldn’t stand for it.

If the meat had been given to anyone else, she wouldn’t have had a problem.

But she absolutely could not accept it going to Gu Jiaojiao and Leng Yuan.

If that couple hadn’t been so nosy yesterday, her house wouldn’t have been emptied out.

Chen Shulan had been holding a grudge against them ever since!

The team leader’s head throbbed.

"Leng Yuan is the one who hunted this boar. According to the rules, he’s entitled to a larger share. He was supposed to get thirty pounds of pork, but he offered to share it with everyone. Now he’s just taking some offal, and you’re upset?"

"If you’re so upset, then put your share of the pork down and leave it."

"And that goes for the rest of you! Anyone who’s not happy can just not eat any pork at all."

"Don’t you dare eat the pork he hunted while bad-mouthing him behind his back. A person who does that has no conscience, and a person can’t live without a conscience."

The team leader laid into the crowd.

His words made many of the villagers’ faces burn with shame.

They had, in fact, been thinking the very same thing.

They felt they deserved a share of the pork because they’d worked the fields all year.

Leng Yuan was a teacher at the commune. He had an income and lived a more comfortable life than them. Why should he get an extra share of the boar meat on top of that?

Now, after being scolded by the team leader, they realized just how absurd their thinking had been.

He was the one who’d hunted the boar. Without Leng Yuan, they wouldn’t have gotten squat.

But none of them would ever admit to having had such thoughts.

And so, all their condemnatory gazes fell upon Chen Shulan.

Chen Shulan: ...

Being stared at by so many people, she suddenly felt a little scared!

’What are you all doing?!’

’Weren’t we all just chatting happily together a moment ago?’

’So much for our friendship! That boat sank fast!’
