Chapter 1824 The Dumb Wife (2)
In the end, because Duan Xu was generous and the two were good-looking, he gave them a big white radish. Ruan Jiaojiao really liked eating radishes, and she smiled with her eyes squinting as she held the big white radish that was free.
The eldest sister was so moved by her smile that she stuffed another radish into her arms and said, "If you want to eat radishes in the future, just come to my place. They are grown by my family and are guaranteed to be sweet."
Ruan Jiaojiao did not refuse, and thanked her sweetly while holding the two big white radishes.
After leaving the eldest sister's place, the two walked inside. There were some stalls selling pickled vegetables. However, for some reason, compared to the clean and tidy vegetable stalls, this place seemed much dirtier and messier. Not only was the ground wet and black, but the smell in the air was so pungent that it made people nauseous.
Duan Xu was naturally reluctant to let Ruan Jiaojiao pass by, so he let her stand on a clean paper floor and let her guard the vegetables she had just bought while he went to buy pickled vegetables.
Ruan Jiaojiao really didn't like the smell over there, so she waited there obediently.
But just as Duan Xu walked a short distance, Ruan Jiaojiao saw a few children around ten years old, each holding a wooden stick, squatting in front of a corner, laughing and poking at the debris in the corner with the stick.
From time to time, bursts of barking could be heard from the pile of debris, like the howling of a puppy, which sounded particularly miserable.
Ruan Jiaojiao hurried over to stop them: "What are you doing?"
The children were all around ten years old, the age that cats and dogs disliked. When they saw the beautiful young lady suddenly appear, they were stunned at first. After they reacted, they deliberately raised their chins, trying to act fierce and scare people. However, before they could make an expression, they met the eyes of Duan Xu who was walking behind them. They were so scared that they immediately acted like birds and beasts and ran away.
Ruan Jiaojiao was suspicious. Is her intimidation so strong?
"Didn't I tell you not to run around?" Duan Xu asked helplessly from behind.
Ruan Jiaojiao turned around and saw Duan Xu coming. She immediately pulled him to the side of the pile of junk and said, "Brother Xu, there seems to be a puppy being bullied by some kids."
As she said this, she squatted down in front of the pile of junk and tilted her head to look inside. As expected, she met a pair of blue eyes.
It was too dark inside, so she couldn't see how big the puppy was. She could only vaguely see that the owner of the eyes seemed to be trembling slightly.
Ruan Jiaojiao stretched out her hand and waved at it.
When the little thing saw her, its eyes brightened a little. When she waved, it ran out immediately, but when it saw that there was a person standing behind her, it turned around and hid back in fear. This process took no more than three or four seconds.
"Brother Xu, it seems a little afraid of you, why don't you step back a little?" Ruan Jiaojiao turned around and said to Duan Xu.
Duan Xu glanced at the little thing in the pile of miscellaneous items, but he was not as strict as usual with Rourou, and stepped back a little.
Ruan Jiaojiao went to coax the puppy out again. The little guy must really like her, and soon he couldn't wait to run out again. His little body was round and looked the size of a man's fist. His fur was gray and his eyes were blue. He should be less than a month old.
"Is this a stray dog?" Ruan Jiaojiao looked at the little thing that wanted to get closer to her, but didn't dare to. Finally, under her coaxing, the little thing trembled and approached on its hind legs, muttering to itself in confusion.
