The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man

”By the way, Jiaojiao, when is your Leng Yuan going to start writing the New Year’s couplets?”

”Writing couplets?”

Chen Xiaoli nodded. ”Yeah! Your husband is the most learned man in our Qingshan Team. In past years, he’s written the couplets for the whole village. When are you guys planning to start this year? Have him write a pair for me when you do.”

Gu Jiaojiao genuinely didn’t know about this. ”I’ll have to ask Leng Yuan when he plans to start.”

Chen Xiaoli nodded, then leaned closer to Gu Jiaojiao and whispered, ”You know that sister-in-law of mine? She’s a real piece of work. On the day of her third-day bridal visit, she didn’t even go home. Tell me, is she crazy or what?”

Chen Xiaoli never liked Xu Wenwan and had no fond feelings for her. Back when Xu Wenwan had announced she was cutting ties, she had stormed off without even eating.

But the old couple at home were still thinking of her. They spent half the day preparing a meal, but in the end, Xu Wenwan and Yun Hao never came back at all.

Gu Jiaojiao thought for a moment, then said casually.

”She didn’t go home for the third-day visit? She came to my place in the afternoon. I just assumed she came over after visiting her family.”

Chen Xiaoli, who had been looking angry, was completely shocked when she heard what Gu Jiaojiao said. ”You’re saying Xu Wenwan came to your place?”

Gu Jiaojiao nodded. ”Yes!”

Chen Xiaoli quickly asked, ”Nothing happened, right?”

”No!”

Chen Xiaoli let out a sigh of relief, but then her heart clenched again. She had thought Xu Wenwan would give up on Leng Yuan after getting married, but she never expected her to show up at their house.

Chen Xiaoli was no longer in the mood for gossip. She said a few hurried words and left.

The moment she was out of Leng Yuan’s house, Chen Xiaoli couldn’t hold it in anymore.

”Xu Chongfeng, that sister of yours is a complete menace.”

Xu Chongfeng, who had just returned to his wife’s room, had been in high spirits for the past couple of days. Being suddenly scolded by his wife left him completely stunned.

”What’s wrong? What did Xu Wenwan do now?”

’I haven’t heard anything about Xu Wenwan recently!’

’Why is my wife angry again?’

Chen Xiaoli’s face was ashen.

”Your sister didn’t go home for her third-day bridal visit. Instead, she ran over to Jiaojiao’s place. Tell me, she doesn’t usually interact with Jiaojiao, so who do you think she went there to see?”

Xu Chongfeng’s heart sank. ’Who else could it be? Leng Yuan, of course.’

”Did you warn Gu Jiaojiao then? Tell her to be careful of Xu Wenwan.”

Hearing this, Chen Xiaoli immediately flew into a rage.

”How am I supposed to warn her about something like that? From the looks of it, Jiaojiao doesn’t even know your sister likes Leng Yuan. If I warned her, it would just make her suspicious. And honestly, why can’t your sister just settle down? She’s already married, yet she’s still hung up on another man.”

’How can she be so shameless.’

Xu Chongfeng knew he was in the wrong, so he didn’t dare argue back while his wife scolded him.

’I should probably tell Dad about this. Maybe he’ll know what to do.’

Thinking of Xu Wenwan, Xu Chongfeng felt he was being unfairly blamed. ’Why is my sister’s brain wired so differently from everyone else’s!’

’If Xu Wenwan really does seduce Leng Yuan, how am I supposed to face Gu Jiaojiao and Leng Yuan in the future?’

The couple kept their voices low as they spoke. The children were playing up ahead, and they wouldn’t dare let them overhear such matters.

After they got home, Chen Xiaoli took the children to wash up while Xu Chongfeng went to his parents’ room to tell them about Xu Wenwan.

When Village Chief Xu learned that Xu Wenwan had gone all the way to Leng Yuan’s house, he was absolutely furious.

He took a drag from his long-stemmed pipe. ”Stay out of this. I’ll go to your sister’s house tomorrow and see for myself.”

’If this is true, I definitely can’t let it slide.’
