The couple signed an IOU, but they didnât specify a repayment period, so they could pay it off slowly over time.
Later, Ruan Bo also got into one of the nationâs top art academies, which cost even more money, so the couple worked harder than before, getting up early and burning the midnight oil, full of enthusiasm.
Plus, since Ruan Lei is doing well in school now, heâs definitely going to college in the future, supporting two college students is not easy, the couple is so busy they hardly come home.
The Ruanlin Family is happy about this; poverty isnât scary, whatâs scary is being poor and not working hard.
The money Shu Jiao lent them, she gave secretly, she didnât plan for the couple to know because she feared itâd give them a sense of entitlement, especially since the main familyâs business was getting better and better, and Ruan Jianguo had a nature of taking charge. She worried heâd foster laziness in his three brothers, which could lead to trouble in the future.
Fortunately, the couple are sensible and donât take things for granted. With the debt, theyâre working hard every day, and many times, Ruan Lei has his three meals at the main Ruan Family house, which sheâs willing to support with.
Ruan Lei is also understanding, naturally aware of their current situation, he smiled at the Ruanlin Family, then bowed his head and talked to Ruan Jiaojiao, peeling an egg for her.
"Jiaojiao and Xiaoxi are in the same class, I wonder if weâll be in the same class." Ruan Lei said this with mixed feelings.
He has been the perennial "third oldest" for six years now, truly fearing this "third oldest" label would follow him forever, yet hoping to be in the same class with Ruan Jiaojiao to look after his sister.
"Weâll find out later." Lu Zishu said, biting into a deep-fried dough stick dipped in porridge, turning to ask Ruan Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, are you a day student again?"
"Mom has a house allocated at school, we live there." Ruan Jiaojiao replied.
"Youâve never stayed in a dorm before, why donât you try it?"
Ruan Jiaojiao blinked, unmoved: "No rush, I definitely have to live at school in university."
"Sweetie, we wonât stay in the dorm in university either, dad will buy a house outside the school for us to move to." Ruan Jianguo chimed in just after returning from dropping off the Shu Family, his words immediately mattered.
"..." Lu Zishu, for the three thousand and fifth time, envied Ruan Jiaojiaoâs gender.
Usually, to get something, he had to bug Zhao Li for ages, but Ruan Jiaojiao at just twelve years old already had a villa in her name, and reportedly had tens of thousands in pocket money, while he only had ten yuan a month for living expenses, the thought made him sick!
Weâre all human, how are there such differences?
Still, discussing these things now is too early, Ruan Jiaojiao didnât respond to the wealthy Ruan, but instead thought of another matter.
Turning to the Ruanlin Family, she said, "Grandma, no matter what university I get into, Iâll take you with me."
At six years old, she had agreed with the Ruanlin Family that sheâd go to college with them, never to be separated.
The Ruanlin Family smiled vibrantly, buoyed by the promise: "Good good good, when Jiaojiao gets married, grandma will live with you." The Ruanlin Family even felt sheâd be spirited enough to help with Jiaojiaoâs child when the time came.
"Okay." Ruan Jiaojiao hadnât yet responded, but Xiu Xi, who had been like an invisible person nearby, answered.
