Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 109: Carrying Her on His Back

"Jiang Xingye, do you think Xu Qinghuan is willing to be with you because she likes you?" Jiang Chengxu felt like his tailbone was about to crack.

Jiang Xingye paused his steps.

Jiang Chengxu yelled, "She’s just doing it out of spite for me. She’s using you to provoke me and her mother. She doesn’t actually want to marry you; you’re just a tool she uses to annoy us."

Jiang Xingye walked over, crouched down, and whispered in his ear, "It doesn’t matter—you don’t even qualify as a tool in her eyes. As long as she’s willing to be close to me, I have a way to make her never leave me!"

Jiang Chengxu was taken aback and was kicked away by Jiang Xingye once more. "If I ever see you harassing her again, I’ll kill you!"

Jiang Xingye was too furious to hold back.

Xu Manman rushed over and hugged Jiang Chengxu. "Chengxu, what’s wrong? What happened? Boohoo, how can you all be so bad? How can you treat Chengxu like this?"

Listening to Xu Manman’s crying, Jiang Chengxu felt a little less lonely in his heart.

But how could he lose Xu Qinghuan?

If Xu Qinghuan was also reborn, without Jiang Xingye’s help, she might still become the richest woman. If not, wasn’t he there for her?

Yes, there’s him; as long as he’s there, there’s no need for Jiang Xingye.

He looked at Jiang Xingye’s back, his eyes full of hatred. There’s no need for him to take action; Jiang Xingye’s stubborn nature would destroy him with the right methods.

He remembered in his past life, someone tampered with Xu Qinghuan’s company project.

Xu Qinghuan rushed over overnight, caught in the rain, and got sick. When Jiang Xingye found out, he took a private jet and stayed at the hotel next to hers until she recovered before leaving.

In the end, he bankrupted that person in retaliation.

Xu Qinghuan never knew about this.

At that time, Jiang Xingye was the world’s richest man, admired by all, paving the way with money, wielding immense power.

But now Jiang Xingye was just a countryman.

Xu Qinghuan came up to him, "Have you eaten? If not, let’s eat together!"

Chen Dewen and the others came over too, inviting Jiang Xingye to eat with them.

Jiang Xingye hadn’t eaten yet and wanted to eat with his partner. "I’ll bring the food over later."

"Just eat first; we happened to steam some extra buns." Xu Qinghuan said.

Qiao Xinyu was less afraid of Jiang Xingye now. "Anyway, the food we’re eating is Huanhuan’s, so you two settle your accounts separately, not with us."

The six of them were eating together, including the grain from Chen Dewen and the others, deciding whose to use based on what they wanted to eat.

Jiang Xingye was happy inside, looking at Xu Qinghuan, noticing her cheeks slightly reddened, and was stunned.

Lunch included corn grits porridge, two stir-fried vegetables, a plate of mushrooms, and pork buns, making for a hearty meal.

"Brother Ye, thanks for helping with the house. Come over to our place for dinner tonight; we’ve agreed to celebrate the new oven today." Chen Dewen invited.

Dai Yifeng also smiled and said, "We’ve wanted to invite Brother Ye but never had the chance. You must come today. Oh, Brother Ye, could you also invite a few members who helped us?"

Jiang Xingye glanced at Xu Qinghuan, who took a small bite of the bun. "You should agree. They’ll be living in the village for several years, and I think maintaining good relations with them is important." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Alright." With Xu Qinghuan speaking, Jiang Xingye agreed.

After coordinating, Chen Dewen went to the supply and sales cooperative to buy things after lunch. Dai Yifeng and Zheng Siqi wanted to go into the mountains to see if they could catch some game, and Jiang Xingye didn’t feel comfortable letting them go alone, so he went along, as did Xu Qinghuan.

Naturally, Jiang Xingye couldn’t say no.

"Xiaomin, shall we go up the mountain as well?" Qiao Xinyu couldn’t wait. She had been here for days but hadn’t gone up the mountain yet.

Yu Xiaomin also wanted to go pick things; many mountain goods were ripe in this season and could be sold for money. Many villagers weren’t busy in the fields, instead gathering mountain goods and collecting firewood.

"Alright, let’s go too." Yu Xiaomin smiled.

In the afternoon, the group went up the mountain together. Just then, Jiang Chengxu and a few others went to the warehouse to get grain and saw them, asking Zhang Tieshan what Xu Qinghuan and the others were going for.

Zhang Tieshan glanced at them. "Oh, they’re going to gather mountain goods. Around this time, wild fruits and mountain goods on the mountain are almost ripe. Gathering some to eat during winter can stave off hunger."

Seeing Xu Qinghuan closely following Jiang Xingye, Jiang Chengxu’s eyes were practically venomous.

But since he had just arrived at Shangjiang Team and hadn’t been there in his past life, he couldn’t make a move yet and had to plot slowly.

Xu Qinghuan felt a chill on her back, turning just in time to catch Jiang Chengxu withdrawing his gaze.

In the book, Jiang Chengxu used all kinds of means for climbing up, with the support of the Jiang Family, and even framed his superiors to make way for himself.

Looks like he has now turned his hatred towards her.

"Keep up!" Jiang Xingye saw Xu Qinghuan distracted, calling her, and she took his hand naturally, using his strength to climb up the slope.

Jiang Xingye’s hands were broad, warm, dry, and felt very comfortable to hold.

When others were present, Xu Qinghuan let go after climbing up.

The forest breeze passed through Jiang Xingye’s fingers, bringing a faint chill and leaving a slight emptiness.

The warmth and softness from his partner’s little hand still lingered on his fingertips.

Xu Qinghuan had picked many herbs before; this time, she wanted to go deeper into the mountain with Qing Xiao, so she wasn’t afraid.

Yu Xiaomin and Qiao Xinyu lacked strength; they came across some chestnut trees and began gathering chestnuts beneath them.

Not far ahead, Jiang Xingye paused, using his finger to flick a stone. With a sound piercing through the air, a wild chicken perched on the branch toppled down.

Dai Yifeng and Zheng Siqi exchanged glances, evidently surprised that Jiang Xingye had such skills.

They both grew up in a military compound and were trained like soldiers, but compared to Jiang Xingye, they were inferior in both perception and skill. It could be said that even the special forces in the military couldn’t match Jiang Xingye’s prowess.

After only walking two or three miles, Jiang Xingye flicked four stones, never missing a shot, resulting in two wild chickens and two wild rabbits.

Jiang Xingye handed the game to Dai Yifeng. "Stay close in this area; don’t venture far. If you find game, catch it. If not, return. I want to go further in."

He planned to take Xu Qinghuan to collect herbs.

"Alright, take care." Dai Yifeng saw the gray wolf following Xu Qinghuan in a protective manner and felt that his advice was unneeded.

After crossing a small hill, ahead was a higher mountain. Jiang Xingye crouched down, "Get on!"

Xu Qinghuan grew stronger, her bones were exceptional. Though she walked without exhaustion, she obediently perched on his back, resting her chin on Jiang Xingye’s shoulder. "Do you remember the first time I ran into you in the mountains? I jumped on you to avoid a snake. How did you respond to me then?"
