Chapter 827 - 827 827 Visit Xiu Family (7)

Chapter 827: Chapter 827 Visit Xiu Family (7) Chapter 827: Chapter 827 Visit Xiu Family (7) Xiu Xun left on the evening, and it was only through Ruan Jianguo and Shu Jiao that Ruan Jiaojiao learned about this.

As soon as Ruan Jianguo mentioned that Xiu Xun had left in the morning, Ruan Jiaojiao felt a sort of happiness emanating from the person beside her. She found it both amusing and baffling, not understanding what it was about Xiu Xun that he disliked so much, always so averse to his presence.

Xiu Jianhong had gone out to work, and only at the resting place of the workers in the evening did he learn that Xiu Xun had left.

Upon hearing the news, it is said that the Xiu Family’s home, which rarely ever heard arguments, was filled with dispute that very night. Then Xiu Jianhong ran over to the Ruanlin Family, seeking information about Jiang Bin, but the Ruanlin Family said nothing.

In her eyes, Xiu Jianhong’s actions were undoubtedly too little too late. If he truly valued this son, he wouldn’t have allowed Hu Yun to treat him so poorly over the years. Now that the boy had left, Xiu Jianhong was putting on an act of reluctance, which was actually quite nauseating.

Of course, while the Ruanlin Family thought this way, they couldn’t show it outwardly. They simply stated that they weren’t very familiar with Jiang Bin; he had only come over to the Ruan Family for meals a few times, and they knew hardly anything else about him.

Failing to obtain any information, Xiu Jianhong could only leave, utterly dejected.

Xiu Xun’s departure brought no significant change to the Ruan Family. On the contrary, the Xiu Jianhong’s household changed a lot, with Hu Yun, holding a large sum of money, already starting to plan the building of a new house.

Xiu Xun’s situation also provided a bit of inspiration to that member of the Xiu Jianlin Family, who began loitering frequently around the Ruan Family’s doorstep. However, every time before he could get close to the Ruan Family’s gate, he would be frightened away by the dog, Meatball.

——

Half a month after Xiu Xun left, autumn officially began.

Ruan Jiaojiao’s birthday was on the tenth day of October, and the weather was gradually getting colder; it was time to wear a coat.

This year, Ruan Jiaojiao’s birthday coincidentally fell on the same day as the math competition semifinals in the provincial capital, which was a Monday.

At noon on Saturday, Zhao Li and the Ruanlin Family were discussing house buying at home, reaching a preliminary conclusion, and then the topic of Ruan Jiaojiao’s birthday came up.

It was quite a coincidence that Ruan Jiaojiao’s birthday fell on the same day as the semifinals, necessitating a trip to the provincial capital, Changling.

Zhao Li, thinking about how she wouldn’t be able to see her precious goddaughter on such an important day, felt a bit down. Then, an idea sparked in her mind, and she said to the Ruanlin Family, “Auntie, you haven’t been to the city before, have you?”

The Ruanlin Family was chopping sweet potato stems. As the weather grew colder and the weeds on the back hills withered, the wild chickens couldn’t find enough food, so she had to chop up the leftover sweet potato stems daily to feed them.

Upon hearing Zhao Li’s words, she nodded. The furthest she had been in her life was to the city; she had never been to the provincial capital.

Hearing this, Zhao Li immediately smiled, helped the Ruanlin Family tie up the sweet potato stems for chopping, and said, “Auntie, it’s quite unlucky that Jiaojiao’s birthday clashes with her exam in the provincial capital.”

“Our Jiaojiao, she has never left home on such a day in all these years. Can you bear to let her go alone? Oh, even though she’ll be accompanied by Xiaoxi and her two brothers, it’s not the same as having us by her side.”

“How about this? Since you haven’t really been out much, why don’t we take this opportunity to have some fun? Let Jianguo drive you, and we can all go to the provincial capital to accompany Jiaojiao for her exams.”

Beside, watching TV with Ruan Lei, Lu Zishu heard this and asked, “Mom, if you go to the provincial capital, what will my brother and I do?”
