The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man-Chapter 171 - 170: Plagued by Bad Luck

’This bastard... does he even have a conscience?’

’He clearly saw me fall. For the sake of being from the same village, he should have at least helped me up.’

’But forget helping, he just stood there threatening to beat me up.’

For the first time, Feng Ergou realized Chen JianShe had a real talent for driving people mad.

He gritted his teeth and stood up.

"Bow to you? In your dreams! I just slipped, that’s all."

’It’s probably all Chen JianShe’s fault I’m so unlucky.’

After all, nothing good ever happened when he ran into Chen JianShe.

Feng Ergou spat twice on the ground, then turned and stalked off.

Chen JianShe noticed the space between Feng Ergou’s eyebrows looked dark—an unlucky omen—and offered a kind reminder.

"Feng Ergou, you’d better be careful for a while. Otherwise, you’re in for some bad luck."

Feng Ergou immediately flew into a rage.

He glared at Chen JianShe.

"Are you trying to pick a fight? Just looking for trouble, aren’t you?"

’I just had Xu Wenwan in my arms and was on top of the world. What’s wrong with this guy’s eyes?’

Chen JianShe snorted. "I’m just giving you a friendly warning, but you don’t know what’s good for you. Besides, if it came to a fight, you’re no match for me."

With that, he couldn’t be bothered with him anymore and walked away.

He still had to go round up his boys!

Feng Ergou snorted coldly.

He walked away disdainfully.

But then he stepped on something—who knows what—and fell flat on his face again!

Feng Ergou was utterly bewildered.

By the time Feng Ergou finally made it home, he had fallen seven or eight times along the way.

He was black and blue all over, with two bleeding scrapes on his face.

The Feng Family was stunned.

"Ergou, what happened to you? Who beat you up? Ma will go settle the score with them!"

Feng Ergou was too embarrassed to admit he had done it to himself by falling repeatedly.

Once Feng Ergou was gone, Xu Wenwan headed home.

Seeing her daughter return, Chen Xiumin secretly handed her two eggs.

"Ma boiled these eggs for you. Take them and eat them in secret. Don’t let anyone know."

Xu Wenwan held the eggs, already savoring the sweet reward of absorbing someone else’s fortune.

She went back to her room, ate the eggs, and left the shells on her table.

Just then, a few small birds landed on the table, snatched the eggshells in their beaks, and flew away.

Xu Wenwan was once again amazed by the magical nature of fortune.

At that moment, there was a knock on her door.

Xu Wenwan opened it to find Xu Chongfeng.

Ever since she’d returned home, this eldest brother of hers, while not as hostile as her second brother, was certainly not fond of her.

For the past few days, he seemed to find fault with everything she did.

’Him, coming to see me now? This can’t be good.’

And she was right.

Xu Chongfeng had come to talk to Xu Wenwan about the room situation. But the moment he saw her, his heart unexpectedly filled with pity.

’My little sister just got back from the city,’ he thought. ’She must not be used to country life. It’s only natural for her to be a bit delicate. I shouldn’t be so harsh.’

With that in mind, the lecture he had prepared for his little sister got stuck in his throat.

"Wenwan, Big Brother picked some fruit on the mountain this morning. I brought them for you to try."

He placed the fruit on the table.

"Dad just has a sharp tongue. He’ll have cooled down by tonight, so don’t you worry."

After comforting Xu Wenwan a little more, Xu Chongfeng left.

Once outside the room, he scratched his head, a strange look on his face.

’Didn’t I come to talk to my sister about the room? How did I end up not mentioning it and giving away the fruit meant for my wife instead?’

He couldn’t figure it out. But he couldn’t very well ask for the fruit back, so Xu Chongfeng trudged off with heavy steps to find his son.

’I don’t have the heart to face my wife! WAAAAH!’

In her room, being treated with such care by her family for the first time, Xu Wenwan was so moved she nearly burst into tears.

’This fortune is really incredible.’

She lifted her hand, her eyes gleaming as she admired her skin, which had already grown a little more delicate.

Just then, the system’s voice sounded in her mind.

"Congratulations, Host, on successfully absorbing a sliver of fortune. Reward: one bowl of braised pork."

As soon as the voice faded, a bowl of braised pork instantly appeared on the table.

Xu Wenwan’s eyes lit up. She immediately got up and shut the door and windows.

She stared at the bowl of braised pork on the table, her mouth watering uncontrollably.

Xu Wenwan ate the entire bowl of braised pork all by herself, only putting down her bowl and chopsticks when she was completely satisfied.

The system automatically retrieved the empty bowl and chopsticks.

Full and content, Xu Wenwan felt a little sleepy. She lay down on her bed and began her afternoon nap.

「Leng Yuan’s house.」

The meal was over, but Gu Jiaojiao was still trying to figure out how to convince Leng Yuan to let her go up the mountain.
