Chapter 592 - 592 592 Shu Wen (8)_1

Chapter 592: Chapter 592 Shu Wen (8)_1 Chapter 592: Chapter 592 Shu Wen (8)_1 “He was our former neighbor, but later his parents didn’t want him, and he saved my sister once, so our whole family considers him a life-saver,” Ruan Jie answered after looking away, then quickly added, fearing Shu Wen wouldn’t like him, “He’s very kind to my sister.” Even though sometimes he is a bit annoying.

“His parents didn’t want him? Why?”

“His mother passed away giving birth to his younger siblings, and his father got him a stepmother, who was no good to him…” As Ruan Jie spoke, he unconsciously lowered his voice, resembling a village gossipmonger, which made Shu Wen laugh.

After laughing, Shu Wen then asked, “Is his eye condition congenital?”

“I don’t really remember, I never paid much attention to him before. I started noticing after he played with my sister, it seems it’s always been like that,” Ruan Jie wondered, looking at her, “Auntie, why is everyone asking about this?”

“Everyone?”

“Yeah, my uncle asked before too, saying it might be some genetic issue.” Ruan Jie hadn’t learned much about these things in junior high, so he was also quite puzzled.

Shu Wen nodded her head but didn’t ask further, only teasing Ruan Jie as she got up with the dishes, “Xiaojie, the way you just lowered your voice and gossiped, you sounded just like a busybody. Remember, boys shouldn’t gossip like that.”

Having said that, she hummed a tune and went off to the kitchen, leaving Ruan Jie staring in bewilderment. Wasn’t it she who had asked?!

That night, the dinner, thanks to the efforts of Shu Jiao and the Ruanlin Family, was exceptionally rich.

This was the first meal the two families had shared after a delay of over a decade, and the feelings were complex, especially for Shu Jiao, who, despite trying hard to suppress it, couldn’t help but have teary eyes.

When she first arrived in this little mountain village, she was filled with sheer panic and fear, feeling her life was in darkness.

Later, she married Ruan Jianguo.

Life was a bit tough, but her mother-in-law was kind, her husband loving, and her children lively and endearing. She was actually quite content.

The only regret was perhaps not being able to reunite with her family.

But then the policy changed, and she returned to her home and found her relatives. Even then, she had not imagined that there would come a day when the two families could sit together and eat a meal in harmony.

Looking at the table full of relatives, she bowed her head and tears fell.

Next to her, Ruan Jianguo gently held her hand and gave her an encouraging smile. Shu Jiao immediately composed herself, raising her head with a smile on her face.

By the time dinner was over, it was already dark outside.

The kids from the old house had run over before it even got dark, right after their meal.

Ever since Shu Lang bought that color TV, they were determined to come and watch television every day.

The Ruanlin Family disapproved of them hanging around all day and set a rule: only two hours of TV watching during the day and two hours at night.

Of course, it wasn’t just them. When other kids from the neighborhood heard about it, they rushed over too. The Ruan Family didn’t turn them away, placing the TV in the main room and even propped it up so anyone who wanted to watch could bring their own stool or chair.

Many adults came to watch as well, but with the patriarch seated there, most people still didn’t dare to come.

But today, quite a few people showed up, likely curious about Shu Wen. By seven o’clock in the evening, the main room was almost completely full.
