Chapter 28: Trouble (4)
She looked at the group of people still chattering at her doorstep and said unhappily, "What? You still want to spend the night at my doorstep? Do you want me, an old woman, to move the blankets for you?"
Everyone waved their hands in embarrassment and went back to their homes.
After the commotion at the doorstep, the entire Ruan family came out, including Ruan Jiandang. Only Liu Zhaodi stood at her doorstep with a sneer on her face. No one knew what she was mocking.
Ruan Lin turned around, and before she could put away her sneer, she hurriedly closed the door in embarrassment.
"Bah!" Ruan Lin spat at her door unhappily and turned to look at Ruan Jiandang, "Second brother, your wife is really getting more and more capable."
Ruan Jiandang's face was not very happy. Obviously, he also saw Liu Zhaodi's expression just now.
Normally, he would not say anything when his mother and his wife had some conflicts. After all, every family has some frictions. But now Liu Zhaodi obviously leaned towards the outside and did not want the Ruan family well. That was another matter.
In fact, he himself did not understand why this daughter-in-law suddenly became like this.
He remembered that when he first met her, her situation in her mother's family was not good. She was treated like an animal by her family, but she was very hardworking, motivated, and reasonable. How could she suddenly become like this? Thinking
of the reason why his niece fell ill a few days ago, his face became even darker and he went back to the house with a dark face.
When Ruan Lin was about to close the door of the main room and go to sleep, she heard a noise coming from the next room. She did not care. In her eyes, this second daughter-in-law should be punished to prevent her from becoming more and more lawless.
When Ruan Lin returned to the inner room, Ruan Jiaojiao was already drowsy. Ever since the original owner's mother went north to look for relatives and take the college entrance examination, Ruan Jiaojiao had been sleeping with Ruan Lin. Ruan Lin
tucked the quilt on her, and looking at her
soft and tender little face, she couldn't help but think of Wu Yiting whom she had just seen, and her heart was like a fire. "Jiaojiao, as long as you are here, I won't let anyone bully you!" She lowered her head and kissed her soft and tender little round face.
"Grandma..." Ruan Jiaojiao looked at her sleepily, and she had an indescribable sense of closeness to Ruan Lin. This grandma was the first person she saw with her eyes open, and perhaps that was why she had such a brothel feeling.
Ruan Linshi is only in her fifties this year, but she looks at least sixty due to years of hard work. She is not like other old ladies of her age in the countryside who are sloppy. She loves to be clean and always has a faint smell of soap on her body.
Soaps of this era do not have so many fragrances. They have the most simple soap smell, but Ruan Jiaojiao feels that this smell makes her feel at ease. As long as she is in her arms, she can sleep well.
Now that she is hugged and coaxed by Ruan Linshi, she quickly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Two days later, it was Friday.
The wound on Ruan Jiaojiao's leg was slowly fading, and Ruan Linshi finally let her go out again.
Ruan Jiaojiao's three brothers who were studying in the town also returned home in the evening, followed by the third and fourth wives.
The third wife often lives in the town. Their eldest son Ruan Bo is in the second grade of junior high school, and their youngest son Ruan Lei is the little fat boy. He has always followed the eldest wife to eat, and they give him some food every year as a token of appreciation.
This time, when they came back from the town, they brought back two pieces of cloth because the little fat boy's birthday was coming up.
One piece was green, and the other was red.
The green one was for making clothes for Ruan Bo and Ruan Lei, and the red one was for making clothes for Ruan Jiaojiao, which was specially instructed by Ruan Lin last time.
