Zhang Ruhai approached Zhang Yaoyao and looked at his little niece in front of him with burning eyes. It seemed that after not seeing her for a while, his little niece had undergone a complete transformation. If it weren't for the back view, the voice, and the face that was indeed his niece, he would not have dared to recognize her.
Amazed at the changes in Zhang Yaoyao, Zhang Ruhai's expression was unpredictable, and he said lightly.
"Your cousin Zhang Rourou is sick and has been hospitalized these days. I came to see her and bring her some food."
As he spoke, Zhang Ruhai walked to the place where Zhang Yaoyao was washing lunch boxes and started washing the lunch box in his hand.
Zhang Yaoyao stood there, a hint of surprise flashed across her face, and she spoke.
"My cousin is sick. When did she become sick?"
To be honest, she and her cousin Zhang Rourou were not really close, and the main reason was not her.
Zhang Yaoyao is an orphan and comes from the countryside. Zhang Rourou, who grew up in the city and is a university student, is very arrogant and would definitely look down on someone like Zhang Yaoyao.
When Zhang Yaoyao first came to her uncle's house, this cousin had been studying away from home. When she occasionally came home, she looked at her with arrogance and prejudice, almost looking down on her.
Therefore, she and this cousin were not really close, and could even be considered strangers. In Zhang Yaoyao's mind, Zhang Rourou was just a code name for her cousin, and there was not much interaction between the two.
Zhang Ruhai replied while washing the lunch box in his hand.
"It's not a serious illness. I fell down the stairs and broke my head. The doctor said it was just a skin injury. I need to be hospitalized and observed for a period of time."
Zhang Yaoyao said casually, looking thoughtful.
"Oh, so that's how it is. I'll go see my cousin later!"
Zhang Ruhai had already washed the lunch box, put it aside, and said with a grunt.
"Well, let's go over and take a look. You cousins haven't seen each other for a long time. The last time I went back to the military compound, I saw that your things were no longer in the house. The neighbor next door said you moved out. What's going on?"
That’s right, Zhang Yaoyao moved out of the military compound. She did it on her own and didn’t even inform him. He didn’t know that his little niece no longer lived in the military compound.
The last time he went back to see Zhang Yaoyao, he heard those aunts and uncles chatting in the yard. He heard that their little niece was too persistent and couldn't catch up with Lu Sinian, so she moved out to live under a bridge and beg for food...
Despite the rumors, he still didn't believe that his little niece would go out and wander around. Although Zhang Yaoyao was unreliable, dressed up fancy every day and followed Lu Sinian around, she was not stupid enough to give up her house and go begging under a bridge to live.
Knowing that Zhang Yaoyao no longer lived in the military compound, he secretly checked Zhang Yaoyao's account. The money his parents left for her had been taken away by Zhang Yaoyao. As for what she used it for, he didn't know.
He thought this might be related to Zhang Yaoyao moving out. Was City A big? Or small? Trying to find Zhang Yaoyao was like looking for a needle in a haystack. He hadn't expected to run into her today.
Zhang Ruhai wanted to find out why his niece wanted to move out.
Zhang Yaoyao knew that her uncle would ask about this. She had thought that August 15th was approaching, and she would go to her uncle in person with gifts to explain to him the reason for moving out.
After all, in this world, apart from her uncle, no one else cares about her.
Since she met her uncle today and he asked her why she moved out, she didn't hide it and told him directly.
"Uncle, you know, I was young and ignorant before. I kept chasing after Lu Sinian all day long. I didn't have a good reputation in the compound. People were always pointing fingers at me, so I moved out and found a place to do some work. I could barely support myself."
Speaking of this, Zhang Yaoyao laughed at herself.
"It's a change of environment, a change of life. People always have to learn to grow up, don't they?"
Zhang Ruhai didn't expect that Zhang Yaoyao could say such words. He looked at Zhang Yaoyao in surprise. His niece was still the same niece, but she seemed to have matured a lot and her horizons had broadened a lot, as if she had grown up in an instant during the time she was away.
In short, the current Zhang Yaoyao gives Zhang Ruhai a feeling of being very unreal, very well-behaved, and very clear-headed. She can clearly see her mistakes and make choices.
They are completely different from Zhang Yaoyao who just chased after Lu Sinian and caused a lot of trouble some time ago.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ruhai said with relief.
"I'm so glad you think this way, Yaoyao, you've finally grown up!"
His little niece finally woke up, and he hoped that this clarity of mind would last forever.
Looking at Zhang Ruhai's gratified expression and the warm mist in his eyes, Zhang Yaoyao felt a little touched. This uncle really cared about the original owner. She couldn't help but take a step forward and said obediently.
"Uncle, I was ignorant before and made you worry!"
Zhang Ruhai tried hard to hold back the tears that were welling up in his eyes, patted Zhang Yaoyao on the back, and said lovingly.
"Just be sensible. Work hard, live a good life, and stop having those unrealistic dreams!"
Zhang Ruhai's words were indeed pointed.
Lu Sinian is an excellent guy, but unfortunately, he and his niece are destined to be from two different worlds. He hopes that after Zhang Yaoyao grows up, she can face the reality, be down-to-earth, work and live with peace of mind, and she will always meet the right man for her.
Zhang Yaoyao immediately understood what Zhang Ruhai meant and nodded.
"Uncle, I understand. I will work hard in the future and won't do anything out of line like that again!"
After getting the assurance from his niece, Zhang Ruhai finally remembered to ask.
"By the way, Yaoyao, where are you living after you move out? Where are you working now?"
He didn't know whether Zhang Yaoyao had spent the money his parents left for her. He had planned to save the money as a dowry for Zhang Yaoyao when she got married, but he didn't expect that his niece had taken it away. It would be a pity if she had spent it recklessly.
It seems that he has to save some of his pocket money for Yaoyao, so that when she gets married, he can at least give her a backup dowry. Even if it is not much, it is a token of his kindness as her uncle.
Zhang Yaoyao took a look at the hesitant expression on her uncle's face and knew that he had not finished what he wanted to say. She was afraid that she could not ask him, so she could only reply one by one.
"Uncle, I live on Fushou Street now. After moving out of the military compound, I took the money my parents left me and rented a small shop on Fushou Street. I sell clothes and accessories. Although I don't make a lot, it's enough to ensure that I have enough food and clothing."
