Chapter 591: Chapter 591 Shu Wen (7)_1 Chapter 591: Chapter 591 Shu Wen (7)_1 âAuntie, is there something for Xiaojie?â Ruan Jie ran out from the main room, hastily asserting his presence.
But very soon, he wished he could go and poop out this presence!
He saw Shu Wen smiling as she looked over, patting his head and saying, âOf course, I couldnât forget my dear nephew. Donât worry, Iâve bought you lots of stuff that you canât get here, all worth it. They should arrive tomorrow. Also, have you finished the tasks I sent you last time? If not enough, just tell your auntie.â
ââŠâ Ruan Jie.
His smile gradually solidified on his face.
He shouldnât have stuck his nose in.
He walked back towards the main room with a blank expression, thinking how lucky it was that Grandpa didnât like him much, otherwise, he wondered if heâd still want to be alive.
Of course, he didnât know that after seeing both his children had brought gifts for their grandchildren, Grandpa, who hadnât brought anything when he came, just brought a lot of money, thinking nothing could beat having cash in hand.
But now he felt this approach wasnât good, at least he shouldâve brought some gifts as a gesture.
He had been mulling over the last couple of days whether he should make up for it!
The Ruan family had known about Shu Wenâs visit for a while, just not the exact day. But the Ruanlin Family had prepared plenty of good food in advance. Today, as soon as Shu Wen arrived, she got busy cooking.
Shu Wenâs hands never touched spring water at home, which meant she never did any chores. But seeing Ruanlin and Shu Jiao busy, she felt embarrassed to just stand by watching, so she helped them by washing and picking vegetables.
Ruan Jiaojiao was eating a small cake. The cake wasnât large enough to share, and she didnât want to eat alone. Holding the cake, she fed a bit to each person, Ruan Jian|guo, Shu Lang, and a few other grown men naturally didnât eat, and Ruan Jiaojiao didnât insist. She only fed her two brothers and Xiu Xi each a bite, then brought the cake to the kitchen to feed Shu Wen a bite, as well as Ruanlin and Shu Jiao, who were busy cooking.
After finishing the cake, Ruan Jiaojiao rolled up her sleeves, intending to help wash the vegetables, but Ruan Jie quickly picked her up and took her away.
The water drawn from the well in winter was warm, but after washing, their hands would still freeze in this cold weather. Ruan Jie couldnât bear to let her hands get cold, so he hugged her waist, carried her away from the well, and took her to Shu Lang. He thrust her into Shu Langâs arms, âUncle, take care of my sister. Donât let her run out again.â
After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and began to help with the vegetables.
Watching this scene, Shu Wen couldnât help but laugh, âXiaojie is so good, taking such good care of his sister.â
Ruan Jie embarrassingly scratched the back of his head, not knowing what to say, and just bent down to hurry and wash vegetables.
âXiaojie, who is that little boy who came back with Jiaojiao?â Shu Wen suddenly asked while washing.
At first, Shu Wen hadnât really noticed Xiu Xi, but after casually glancing over, she was shocked by what she saw. Such divine features and eyesâshe had been fortunate to see them once before.
But then, she felt it was impossible. How could that respected family possibly be related to a boy from a remote mountain village?
The thought alone seemed preposterous and unbelievable.
Hearing this, Ruan Jie instinctively looked up towards the main room at Xiu Xi. Xiu Xi was sitting on a chair, his gaze firmly following his sister. When Ruan Jieâs eyes met his, Xiu Xi quickly looked over, swept him with a glance, and then moved his eyes away.
