The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man-Chapter 144 - 143: The Wife is Angry

Xu Chongfeng clutched his quilt, having been kicked out. He stared at the closed door, a look of grievance on his face.

’I didn’t even do anything!’

’I’m innocent.’

"Honey, let me explain!"

Chen Xiaoli’s voice came from inside the room. "Explain my ass! I’m not listening. Just go away."

Xu Chongfeng felt helpless.

Ever since this sister of his had come home, his wife had taken her anger out on him several times.

All because Xu Wenwan got angry and locked her door, their daughter now had to sleep with his wife. That left him with no choice but to go find their son.

Xu Chongshan, coming out to empty his wife’s basin of foot-washing water, saw Xu Chongfeng carrying a quilt.

Their eyes met. Xu Chongfeng looked embarrassed and chuckled sheepishly. "The moon is so nice tonight. I just came out to admire it."

Xu Chongshan chuckled. He glanced at the sky, which was thick with dark clouds, and called his older brother’s bluff. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Don’t even try, Big Bro. It’s overcast tonight. What moon?"

"You must have gotten kicked out by Sister-in-law. I heard everything just now."

Still, he did feel sorry for his older brother. This was all Xu Wenwan’s fault.

Ever since Xu Wenwan returned, their family hadn’t known a moment’s peace.

He had to admit, their previous sister had been genuinely wonderful.

She had been hardworking since she was a child, and they had all loved to spoil her. She even got along well with both of her sisters-in-law. It was just a shame she wasn’t their sister by blood.

This Xu Wenwan was their blood relative, but it was like her very presence was a jinx on the family. Nothing ever went right when she was involved.

Xu Chongshan had decided long ago to stay far, far away from this sister.

And it wasn’t just Xu Chongshan; Xu Chongfeng now felt the exact same way.

Xu Wenwan, of course, had no idea how her two brothers felt. She had locked her door specifically to have her system investigate who, exactly, had altered the plot.

"Little Seven, did you find anything?"

It was a long moment before the system replied.

"Apologies, Host. Little Seven’s level is too low to conduct the search."

Xu Wenwan was furious enough to die.

The system, perhaps fearing Xu Wenwan might actually die of rage, immediately offered her some perks.

"Host, in light of your recent diligence in completing missions, the system has specially requested thirty points for you as a reward."

In addition to that, it also rewarded Xu Wenwan with two meat buns.

Getting thirty points for free, plus two fragrant, steaming meat buns, Xu Wenwan wasn’t quite so angry anymore.

She was always starving after dinner.

She devoured the two meat buns first, then drank a glass of water. Only then did her stomach finally feel settled.

She had to admit, those two meat buns were truly delicious.

In her past life, she wouldn’t have given them a second glance.

But since transmigrating into the book, she hadn’t eaten any meat. Now, having tasted the meat buns, she felt they were the most delicious things in the entire world.

Once she was full, Xu Wenwan’s thoughts turned back to the incident during the day when Gu Jiaojiao had nearly knocked her off the ox-cart. She immediately used her thirty points to rewrite Gu Jiaojiao’s fate.

The familiar screen of light appeared before her.

She skillfully picked up the pen beside her and wrote a new line into the story: Gu Jiaojiao would suffer a bout of bad luck.

After she finished writing, Xu Wenwan went to sleep, feeling wonderfully smug.

She would have to get up early tomorrow to watch Gu Jiaojiao’s misfortune unfold.

Gu Jiaojiao started making dinner the moment she got home. Just as she finished, Leng Yuan and Chen JianShe returned.

Not only had they returned, but they were also pushing a flatbed cart.

Gu Jiaojiao stared.

"Where did you borrow the cart?"

Before Leng Yuan could answer, Chen JianShe piped up.

"Sister-in-law, this cart wasn’t borrowed! Brother Leng made it himself."

"He made it himself?"

Gu Jiaojiao was stunned.

’Is he a jack-of-all-trades or something?’

’How can he be good at everything?’

You had to understand, only a few families in the entire village owned a cart. It was like buying a major appliance; whenever a family got one, it became the talk of the village.

She had considered getting one before, but had thought it wouldn’t be very useful.

She never expected Leng Yuan to just go and build one himself.

"This is just incredible."

"These days, you can get a wife for a single sack of grain. This cart is probably worth two wives."

"No wonder you’re such a hot commodity in the village."
