The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man

Chen Xiumin was so angry she wanted to hit someone.

She really wished Xu Wenwan would just go bang her head against a wall and see if she’d drop dead.

’What is wrong with this daughter of mine? Has she caught some serious disease?’

’If she has something to say, she should just say it.’

’But no, she always has to give some long-winded speech. It makes my skin crawl.’

And on top of that, Xu Wenwan was always crying and sniveling.

She was truly speechless.

She had food to eat, drink to drink, and she didn’t have to do any housework if she didn’t want to. How could she not be satisfied with such a carefree life?

Chen Xiumin just couldn’t understand. With such a good life, what was there to be so unhappy about that she’d threaten to kill herself?

In her opinion, Xu Wenwan was simply too idle.

Chen Xiumin rolled her eyes and tossed out a single word.

”Wait.”

After speaking, she went to the woodshed, grabbed the remaining half-bag of soapberries, and carried it to Xu Wenwan’s room. The thought that these perfectly good things were about to be wasted by Xu Wenwan soured her mood.

To prevent her troublesome daughter from making any more demands, Chen Xiumin dropped the bag, walked out, locked the door, and quickly left.

By the time Xu Wenwan realized what was happening, her mother was long gone.

Xu Wenwan was left speechless.

’Whatever. I’m not going to worry about that.’

’Now that I have the soapberries, I can finally start developing my business.’

The room fell silent. Hiding nearby, Chen Xiumin breathed a sigh of relief. Her daughter had finally settled down.

But Xu Wenwan hadn’t settled down at all. Even though her back was killing her, she resiliently began the prep work for her facial soap.

Even the system had to admire her resilient nature.

Its host might be a crybaby who burst into tears at the drop of a hat, but when she suddenly found her strength, it was quite astonishing.

The system didn’t understand human emotions.

How could it know that Xu Wenwan’s anger levels had already peaked?

She was the type to grow stronger with every setback.

Everything the Xu Family had done to her recently, in particular, had made one thing clear to Xu Wenwan.

She couldn’t rely on her parents or her brothers. The only way to turn her life around was to start her own business, and fast.

’This is 1975. In two years, the national college entrance exams will be reinstated, and the economy will recover.’

’By then, I’ll take the money I’ve earned and start a proper business.’

’With the skills I learned in my past life, there’s no way I won’t be able to make a fortune in this one.’

’She thought about Gu Jiaojiao in her previous life. She had built factories, started companies, and expanded her operations. Rumor was she owned several factories and a growing chain of stores. Countless retailers were begging her for the rights to be an authorized dealer.’

The thought of that kind of life—being the center of everyone’s universe—made Xu Wenwan even more determined.

’If my cousin could do it, then so can I.’

’Gu Jiaojiao managed to start her own company and become successful. I transmigrated to this undeveloped era with all my memories and formulas, giving me a huge head start. What could I possibly be lacking?!’

Fueled by these feelings, Xu Wenwan quickly began to process the soapberries.

Meanwhile, at the Educated Youth Center, things had been quiet.

Yun Hao, however, was much quieter than usual. Hu Ziqiang didn’t know what had happened, and Yun Hao wouldn’t say anything when asked.

All he knew was that after Yun Hao had gone to mail a letter, he’d returned withdrawn and hardly spoke a word. He was completely downcast and gloomy.

In just a few days, Yun Hao had become like a different person. As his good friend, Hu Ziqiang had no idea how to comfort him.

The others at the Educated Youth Center naturally noticed the strange atmosphere as well.

But since none of them were particularly close to Yun Hao, it was even harder for them to say anything.

Gu Jiaojiao’s days passed without much excitement. Often worn out by her husband at night, she would wake up very late in the morning. With little to do in the winter, she usually just stayed home and read.

Come to think of it, ever since she married Leng Yuan, they had never been restrained in that department, nor had they ever used any form of contraception. Yet, she showed no signs of being pregnant.
