Chapter 686: Chapter 686 The Sister Over There (1)_1 Chapter 686: Chapter 686 The Sister Over There (1)_1 ââŠâ Little Fatty, seeing the two starting to discuss and completely forgetting how he looked, felt incredibly frustrated. He thought that since it was already known anyway, he might as well go all in and shouted towards the kitchen, âGrandma, GrandmaâŠâ
âAre you hastening death? What are you howling for, reincarnated from a starved ghost!â Ruanlin Familyâs matriarch came out holding an iron bowl, scolding with annoyance.
âGo next door and call Ruan Wei over. Have him drink a bowl too.â
Little Fatty nodded and scampered next door, bellowing for Ruan Wei. But after calling out for a long time, no one opened the door.
âGrandma, heâs not at home.â
âNot at home??â Ruanlin Familyâs matriarch was somewhat suspicious because their houses were close now, Ruan Jiandang had none of marrying intentions, Ruan Jun and Ruan Chi were already in high school, and there was only Ruan Wei at home. The Ruanlin Family matriarch had basically been letting him eat at their place, after all, Shu Jiao didnât mind that bit of food.
âYes, I called out so many times,â said Little Fatty, fearing that the Ruanlin Family matriarch would think he was half-hearted, adding another line.
Turning his head, he saw two bowls set in the courtyard; one was being drunk by Meaty, but could the other one be for Samao? Did Samao really drink mung bean soup?
Having heard this, Ruanlin Familyâs matriarch nodded, no longer fretting over this issue. Ruan Jiaojiao hadnât eaten at home for several days, and she missed her terribly. She quickly went to make food, feeling like Ruan Jiaojiao must have gotten skinny from not eating these past few days and needed a good nourishment!
However, when she had finished making dinner last night, Ruan Wei from next door still hadnât returned. As darkness approached, Ruan Jiaojiao began to worry.
She thought he might have gone out to play somewhere and began searching for him in the village after dinner.
Ever since living at the entrance of the village, and the uncles scattered to different houses, Ruan Jiaojiao hadnât walked into the village for a long time. Standing in front of her once home, she saw Liu Mei from next door sitting in the courtyard cursing and swearing.
âXiu Jianlin, you old fart, you havenât even finished making dinner. Do you want to starve me to death so you can find a new wife, just like beforeâŠâ Liu Mei cut herself off midway when she suddenly saw Ruan Jiaojiao and others standing outside the fence. She immediately shut her mouth and, looking somewhat flustered, ran into the pitch-dark house.
Ruan Jiaojiao watched her flustered retreat and couldnât help feeling that the unfinished words seemed to hide a shocking secret.
She subconsciously looked over at Xiu Xi, noticing his calm demeanor. Then she remembered that he wasnât the original Xiu Xi, and naturally, he wouldnât care about the things Liu Mei had mentioned.
Ruan Jiaojiao and the others searched the whole village for Ruan Wei but couldnât find him. Everyone pretty much said they hadnât seen him, so the three had to return without success.
But as they approached the building in front, they just happened to see Ruan Wei walking back from the big road beside the building.
âWhere did you go? We were about to turn the whole village upside down looking for you,â Little Fatty complained as soon as he saw Ruan Wei, running over to him.
âI⊠I didnât go anywhere, just⊠just got back,â Ruan Wei replied, his eyes clearly dodging in guilt. Even Ruan Jiaojiao could see it, let alone Little Fatty.
The siblings exchanged a tacit glance, not prying any further, but said, âThen, Big Brother Wei, you better go to Grandma. She saved you some food.â
âOkay,â Ruan Wei responded, visibly relieved that they hadnât pressed further.
At that moment, Little Fatty narrowed his eyes. Ruan Wei was inherently a bit slow-witted, not as sharp as the other brothers. He clearly had done something guilty and was afraid they would find out.
