The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man

Li Dashan had met Village Chief Xu’s previous daughter, Xu Huihui. Although she wasn’t talkative, she was quiet, well-behaved, polite, and quite pretty.

Meeting Xu Wenwan today, however, was a real eye-opener.

Although Xu Wenwan was prettier than Xu Huihui, her character was far worse. You could tell at a glance that she was the flighty type.

With a daughter like that, Village Chief Xu had plenty of worries ahead of him!

How could he not feel a pang of pity?

But it wasn’t his place to say anything.

Li Dashan sighed, shook his head, and walked away.

Village Chief Xu: ”...”

He was completely baffled.

He then pointed at Li Dashan’s retreating figure and asked Chen Beiguo, ”What was that all about?”

He was sighing and shaking his head.

Chen Beiguo was still caught up in his excitement, so when he heard Village Chief Xu’s question, he immediately chimed in.

”He’s just jealous.”

”He’s dejected because he never thought our village would be named the Advanced Village.”

Village Chief Xu thought what Chen Beiguo said made sense, yet he also felt that wasn’t it at all.

But besides the Advanced Village award, what else could it be?

’He and Li Dashan weren’t even close, so what else could there possibly be!’

Village Chief Xu couldn’t figure it out.

At the Xu Family’s.

Xu Wenwan hid her things and returned home to find the courtyard completely empty.

She took a look around the house. Other than her mother, who was sewing, her father was nowhere to be found.

This made Xu Wenwan happy.

She immediately ran back out, carried the hidden things home, and went straight to her room.

She had already commandeered this room for herself.

Her older brother’s daughter had been sleeping in their room, which made Chen Xiaoli resent her sister-in-law even more.

Xu Chongfeng was still miserably squeezed in with the child.

Fortunately, he had already discussed it with Village Chief Xu. They would start building a new house next year when the weather warmed up.

All he could do was endure it a little longer.

After putting the things in her room, Xu Wenwan went to deal with the soap beans. Hearing the commotion, Chen Xiumin came out of her room. She frowned when she saw her daughter messing around with them again.

”Didn’t your father forbid you from making these things?”

Xu Wenwan’s eyes darted. ”I’m just crushing these to wash clothes. Back when I was in the city, everyone would crush them, boil them until they were thick, and then use that to wash clothes. I think it’s more convenient that way.”

Chen Xiumin looked skeptical.

In the countryside, people just mashed them up and used them directly. There wasn’t so much fuss.

But she didn’t know the ”proper” city way of doing things, so she decided to let her be.

Xu Wenwan crushed some of the soap beans and got to work.

Afraid of being discovered, she processed the soap beans and then took them into her room.

With the molds and materials ready, Xu Wenwan began mixing her concoction.

Because of the cold weather, the facial soap solidified very quickly. Her first attempt was a success, and Xu Wenwan was so excited she nearly jumped for joy.

”See? I really am a genius.”

Observing the narcissistic Xu Wenwan from within its space, the System was speechless.

To be honest.

If it had a choice, it would have bound itself to Xu Wenwan’s cousin rather than her.

From Xu Wenwan’s memories, it knew just how formidable her cousin was.

An heiress from a wealthy family who could speak four languages, play seven or eight different instruments, cook, design, paint, judge character, and find the best mentors.

She was hardworking and talented. If it had bound a host like that, it might have already completed its mission and become a main entity, no longer needing to be bound to a host at all. It would have long been able to actively absorb the fortune of others on its own.

This time, it had really made a mistake.

After escaping the Main God, it had fled in a panic to a minor world. This world’s story was supposed to be a ”doted-on protagonist” novel, where everyone around the main character was a child of fortune. It had followed the plot and bound itself to Xu Wenwan, thinking it would be smooth sailing to absorb all that fortune. Who would have guessed that the book’s plot would completely collapse?

Sometimes, it suspected that it was the one who had altered the book’s trajectory.

The System sighed. The doted-on protagonist had become the universally-hated one. ’This is too hard for me.’
