The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man

"Mom, you never used to care about my homework. What’s gotten into you today?"

The brigade leader’s son asked innocently, rubbing his head.

"That was then, this is now," the brigade leader’s wife retorted matter-of-factly. "I’m taking an interest starting today. You got a problem with that?"

The brigade leader’s son looked helpless.

’Did he dare say he had a problem?’

’If he did, his own mother wouldn’t hesitate to slap him.’

Even the brigade leader was a little shocked by his wife’s words.

The brigade leader’s wife let out a cold huff and went to make dinner.

It wasn’t that she had some ulterior motive; she just figured that the reason Gu Zhiqing was so impressive was because he was well-educated.

’If her son just read a few more books, his future was guaranteed.’

When Chen Ruoyu returned to the Educated Youth Point, no one asked many questions.

The next day, when she didn’t go to work again, the others couldn’t hold back their curiosity.

Only then did Chen Ruoyu explain that she had become a teacher.

Having dropped this bombshell, Chen Ruoyu nonchalantly headed off to her new job.

The moment Chen Ruoyu left, the Educated Youth Point erupted.

Gu Jiaojiao was unaware of all this. In the blink of an eye, June had arrived.

Jackets came off, and a single layer of clothing was all that was needed.

After several months of hard work, the new desks and stools were finally finished.

All the students at the school were now using the new furniture.

Making the desks and stools had cost some money, but a considerable amount was left over. The principal, feeling generous, used the surplus to procure other necessities for the school and even had the classrooms repainted.

Now, the entire school had a different look and feel.

With the last day of classes over, it was time for summer vacation.

Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang had successfully skipped a grade and were now in the fourth grade, in the same class as Chen Xiaoli’s daughter, Xiao Li.

And it was within these few days that Xiao Ni was supposed to get into trouble.

There was no specific date, but Gu Jiaojiao had been keeping an extremely close watch on the children for the past few days.

On this final day, Gu Jiaojiao didn’t dare let her guard down.

She and Leng Yuan went to the school to pick up the kids. Chen Ruoyu had other matters to attend to and had already left earlier with some of the other village children.

Sweet Girl, Xiao Yang, and Xiao Ni had cleaning duty, so by the time they finished and came out, the school gate was nearly empty.

Gu Jiaojiao had a premonition that something would definitely happen today.

However, Gu Jiaojiao didn’t let it show, acting just as she always did.

Walking along the mountain path, they could see a sea of gold in the distance.

The wheat in the fields had ripened.

Just a month ago, the wheat had only begun to sprout and was entirely green. Not long after, it turned yellow. Now, a mere half-month later, the leaves were completely dry. The wind sent ripples through the fields, and as they drew near, they could hear the crisp RUSTLE of the dry stalks colliding.

In the distance, on a higher mountain, several tan-skinned men pulled out a pair of binoculars and scanned the road below. They spotted a man and a woman walking with a few small children. Their gaze eventually settled on Gu Jiaojiao’s delicate face, lingering for a long moment before one of them finally broke the silence.

"That broad wasn’t lying to us. This target is damn beautiful. I’ve never seen a woman this good-looking in my entire life."

Hearing his buddy say that, the man next to him was instantly intrigued. He snatched the binoculars and took a look for himself.

"She really is. Our worries are over."

They were a human trafficking ring. Recently, they had received a mission from their higher-ups, who wanted to broker a deal with a powerful figure. This "big shot" had a particular weakness for exceptionally beautiful women, so the order came down to find one and send her up the chain.

The more beautiful, the better—and the bigger the payout.

If the deal went through, the gang that provided the woman would receive a one-hundred-thousand-yuan bonus.

One hundred thousand.

That was one hundred thousand yuan. Even for human traffickers, it was a sum of money they had never seen before.

And so, every trafficker who got the news had sprung into action.
