The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 675

Chapter 675: Chapter 671: Smart Child

Lin Daya recognized the voice as well—it was Chen Shulan’s. The two children immediately cowered.

"What do we do? Mom is definitely going to beat us."

Although Chen Shulan rarely hit them, that didn’t mean she never would.

Children are very perceptive of adults’ emotions, and the anger on Chen Shulan’s face just now had reached its peak.

Lin Tie Dan was favored far more than Lin Daya. He was the only boy in the family, and Chen Shulan had never laid a hand on him.

After feeling a pang of guilt, Lin Tie Dan relaxed again.

"Mom will only beat you, not me."

When the Lin Family had taken in Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang, Sweet Girl was the one who got beaten most often, while Xiao Yang rarely was. Lin Daya and Lin Tie Dan were never hit. Now that the two "stinky beggars" were gone, leaving only Lin Daya and Lin Tie Dan, the one who bore the brunt of it was always Lin Daya.

Lin Daya understood this all too well, but she couldn’t help but feel it was unfair.

’Why should I be the one who gets beaten for something Lin Tie Dan threw?’

Lin Daya looked at her younger brother’s smug face, and a flash of hatred flickered in her eyes.

It was already very late when Gu Jiaojiao and Leng Yuan returned.

She ran into Chen Ruoyu on the way.

Gu Jiaojiao told Leng Yuan to head back first, then walked over to Chen Ruoyu’s side.

"Ruoyu, were you waiting for me?"

Chen Ruoyu nodded. "Something happened in the village today. It’s already been resolved, but I felt I should still tell you about it."

Chen Ruoyu recounted how Chen Shulan had been slandering Gu Jiaojiao’s name in the fields during the day.

She then recounted how Chen Shulan had been publicly humiliated in the village that evening by Sweet Girl’s and Xiao Yang’s grades.

"You have no idea. The moment Chen Shulan got back, she gave Lin Daya a beating. It was brutal—she whipped her bottom until it was red raw. Plenty of neighbors saw it, and everyone’s treating her like a laughingstock."

Only then did Gu Jiaojiao realize how much had happened in the few hours she’d been away.

Realizing Chen Ruoyu must have been waiting here specifically for her for quite some time, Gu Jiaojiao thanked her sincerely.
