Chapter 350: Chapter 346: We’ll Talk After Eating

Xu Wenwan was feeling conflicted.

Then she saw Gu Jiaojiao sidling up to her, getting closer and closer.

She frowned immediately.

"Gu Jiaojiao, are you crazy? Why are you getting so close to me?"

Gu Jiaojiao cleared her throat.

She reached out and plucked a leaf from the top of Xu Wenwan’s head.

"It’s nothing. I saw something fall on your head and wanted to get it for you."

Xu Wenwan was speechless.

The stream of curses she had ready died on her lips.

She irritably slapped the leaf from Gu Jiaojiao’s hand and stomped forward in a huff.

Gu Jiaojiao wasn’t angry at all.

She even followed closely behind her.

Xu Wenwan was convinced Gu Jiaojiao was genuinely sick in the head.

’This woman has to be unhinged!’

’I’m not interested in women!’

At this thought, Xu Wenwan quickened her pace.

Gu Jiaojiao was speechless.

She followed for another two steps, and when the electronic voice didn’t speak again, she changed her course and went to Aunt Zhao’s house.

The system had just said that Xu Wenwan couldn’t absorb luck from other women, so she didn’t have to be afraid.

What was strange, however, was that the system seemed to be deliberately tempting Xu Wenwan to absorb Leng Yuan’s luck.

She had heard the system mention absorbing Leng Yuan’s luck three times.

’Could it be that Leng Yuan’s luck is exceptionally good?’

Considering the man in the book ended up becoming a big shot, she wouldn’t believe he didn’t have some good fortune and luck.

Besides, this system seemed to care a lot about this "luck" business.

A system that relied on absorbing other people’s luck didn’t sound like a good thing at all, yet Xu Wenwan acted as if she’d hit the jackpot.

Gu Jiaojiao felt she didn’t even need to deal with Xu Wenwan; Xu Wenwan would bring about her own doom.

At this thought, she suddenly smiled. ’This system... it could actually be used.’

She took Sweet Girl to the Zhao family’s house, delivering some meat and candy, then went to the Chen Family’s home.

The village chief’s wife happened to be at the Chen Family’s home talking. When Gu Jiaojiao saw her, she didn’t hold back, directly grabbing a handful of milk candies and giving them to Chen Xiumin.

"Auntie, you didn’t make it to the wedding banquet today. Have some candy to sweeten your day." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Chen Xiumin was about to refuse, but Gu Jiaojiao added,

"You can refuse other candies, but this is my wedding candy. It’s to let you share in my good fortune."

Chen Xiumin hadn’t been particularly fond of Gu Jiaojiao before. She thought Gu Jiaojiao was too beautiful, not down-to-earth, and not the type to settle down and live a proper life.

But with all the "Auntie" this and "Auntie" that, plus several milk candies in her hand, her impression of Gu Jiaojiao improved considerably.

"You’re a fortunate girl. Now that you’re married, just focus on living a good life. Leng Yuan is a good man."

She still didn’t know about Leng Yuan’s uncle.

Just as Mrs. Chen had been pulling her aside to share the day’s gossip, Gu Jiaojiao had arrived.

Gu Jiaojiao nodded, and after dropping off the items, she headed back.

As soon as she left, Mrs. Chen remarked with a sigh,

"When Gu Zhiqing first came to the countryside, she wouldn’t do farm work and looked down on us country folk. Now that she’s married, there’s not a trace of her old personality left. Everything she says is so pleasant."

"She speaks so elegantly, and her voice is so lovely, it made me afraid to even speak too loudly. I was worried I might scare her."

Chen Xiumin nodded in agreement.

"Isn’t that the truth."

"If you ask me, Gu Jiaojiao is completely different after getting married. Not only is she polite, but she’s smart too. She’s the one who came up with the thresher."

"The way I see it, that Gu Zhiqing is destined for a comfortable life. She can earn work points just by using her brain."

Chen Xiumin was skeptical.

’The thresher has been invented, sure, but it’s not like they need to thresh grain every day. Whether she can keep earning work points in the future is another matter entirely!’

But she didn’t say it out loud.

Having just accepted the girl’s milk candies, she couldn’t bring herself to say something so ungrateful.

’I’ll wait until I’ve finished the candy, then I’ll come back and tell Mrs. Chen what I really think.’

Moving on from Gu Jiaojiao, Chen Xiumin was more curious about the wedding banquet at the Leng Family’s home.

"I heard they had several tables of food. Is that true?"

That morning, Xu Wenwan had gotten sick, and Chen Xiumin had gone with her. She stayed at the hospital while Xu Wenwan was on an IV drip and only came back after the wedding banquet was already over, so she hadn’t heard any of the gossip.
