Chapter 482: Chapter 482: A Little Girl Who Looks Like Her (4)_1 Chapter 482: Chapter 482: A Little Girl Who Looks Like Her (4)_1 Upon noticing that Ruan Jiaojiaoâs hair had been cut, he pushed her slightly away to take a closer look and nodded seriously, giving a high level of praise, âHmm, itâs beautiful. Youâre grandmaâs good baby indeed, looks good no matter how itâs cut.â
âGrandma, youâre spoiling me again,â Ruan Jiaojiao laughed. Although she said this, which little girl doesnât love to hear such words? Her smile was about to reach the root of her ears.
Following behind, Ruan Jian/Guo came in carrying her schoolbag and also said with a smile, âRight, Iâve always said our Jiaojiao looks good with any haircut. She just wouldnât believe it.â
Turning his eyes to the hoe next to Mrs. Ruanlin, his brows furrowed again, âMom, didnât we agree that you wouldnât do these things anymore? If youâre in a hurry, Iâll dig it out for you even if I have to do extra work at night.â
âIâm just moving my muscles a bit, Iâm nowhere near unable to move, and donât you try to control me!â Mrs. Ruanlin snorted coldly, utterly unconcerned by his stern face.
Next to her, Ruan Jiaojiao asked, âCan Jiaojiao manage it, then?â
Mrs. Ruanlin immediately burst into hearty laughter, âOf course, Iâm under Jiaojiaoâs control. If Jiaojiao says grandma shouldnât work, then grandma will stop.â
âMhm, then grandma has to remember her own words. If I see grandma doing this again next time, Jiaojiao is going to be angry,â Ruan Jiaojiao said, feigning seriousness, causing Mrs. Ruanlin to laugh even more.
Dinner was prepared by Shu Jiao.
At the dinner table, Ruan Jiaojiao spoke about her possibility of skipping a grade.
Mrs. Ruanlin commented, âGood, our treasure is smart, and skipping a grade is reasonable.â
Ruan Jian/Guo was a bit worried, âWonât it be too soon? If we calculate it, our treasure will still be a minor when she goes to college. If she skips grades again in between, she will be too young, and there will be no one to look after her outside.â
âDad, Iâm only in the first grade now.â Thinking about college already, isnât it too early?
âDad was just saying, darling, if you want to skip a grade, of course, thereâs no problem. If it comes to it, dad will go to school with you. Weâll buy a house near the school, so you donât have to worry about being looked after,â Ruan Jian/Guo said, nodding in self-agreement.
ââŠâ Ruan Jiaojiao.
However, the conversation having reached this point, Mrs. Ruanlin suddenly remembered something she had always forgotten. She put down her chopsticks, stood up, and went to her room. When she came back, she was holding an object wrapped in a red cloth, which was rectangular in shape.
She placed the item in front of Shu Jiao and said, âThis was left by your brother Alang the last time he came. We might have three wheels, but we canât catch up with his four. It has been left until now. Give it back to him when you have the chance.â
It was then that Ruan Jiaojiao remembered, this was the money her uncle had left for her.
Shu Jiao skeptically opened the red cloth, saw the two bundles of large-denomination cash inside, and remained unsurprised. She wrapped the money back up calmly and asked, âDid he leave any message?â
âHe said itâs for Jiaojiao,â Mrs. Ruanlin said.
âAlright, then letâs save it for Jiaojiao, for her dowry in the future,â Shu Jiao said tranquilly.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ruanlinâs expression darkened.
In those days, it was unheard of for uncles to save dowry money for their nieces. Was he looking down on their Ruan Family?
Of course, Mrs. Ruanlin knew that Shu Jiao did not mean it this way, but her face still grew unpleasant.
Ruan Jian/Guo quickly kicked Shu Jiao under the table. After glancing at him, Shu Jiao followed his gaze towards Mrs. Ruanlin and could only sigh helplessly, stand up, and return to her room. When she came back, she also had two wrapped packages in her hands, but hers were wrapped in newspaper.
