Chapter 314 Punishment (1)

Before Ruan Lin's bamboo stick fell, her eyes turned red.

Ruan Lin's hand holding the bamboo stick paused for a moment, but she still hardened her heart and hit her hard with the bamboo stick.

Ruan Jiaojiao closed her eyes subconsciously and shrank her shoulders.

But after waiting for a long time, she didn't feel any pain in her hands. She thought Ruan Lin didn't hit her. Who knew that she saw another pair of hands above her hands.

Xu Xu's hands were less than a few centimeters away from her hands. When the bamboo stick fell, he caught it all, and no one fell on her hands.

"Brother Xu..." She looked at Xu Xu with tears in her eyes.

Xu Xu looked at Ruan Lin.

Ruan Linshi actually never thought of beating Xu Xu. After all, he was not her biological son. Even if she was good to him, she could say it verbally, but she had never thought of beating him like her own son.

Now seeing him protecting Ruan Jiaojiao, she felt warm in her heart.

But the words were still the same.

Today's incident had touched her bottom line, and she still had to beat him. She pushed Xu Xu's hand away, and he fell again. This time, without Xu Xu's protection, Ruan Jiaojiao's white and tender palm immediately had several red marks. The

bamboo stick was tough and slender, and it was burning painful when it fell on the palm.

Feeling wronged, in pain, and frightened, Ruan Jiaojiao couldn't hold back her tears. As soon as Ruan Lin's hand was withdrawn, her tears started to fall.

Even though she didn't cry loudly, her pitiful crying appearance was more heartbreaking than crying loudly.

Ruan Lin was also heartbroken, but this matter couldn't end like this. She had to teach them a lesson, otherwise what would they do when they went to play in the water in the future? She was afraid of water!

Ruan Lin couldn't bear the pain of losing her, so she could only let herself feel heartbroken now.

She slapped her palm several times, and when she saw that her palm was almost covered with red marks, she threw away the bamboo stick in her hand, not daring to look at Ruan Jiaojiao's tearful face, and said in a suppressed voice: "You all stand or kneel, and don't move until dark. Also, you are not allowed to eat at night!"

After that, she went back to the inner room.

Outside, Ruan Jiaojiao was rubbing her palm, feeling pain and burning, sobbing non-stop, which made her brothers feel distressed, but no one dared to disobey Ruan Linshi, and could only look at Ruan Jiaojiao with distressed eyes.

The eleven people stood from four o'clock in the afternoon to six o'clock in the afternoon.

The sun was about to set, and Ruan Linshi came out of the kitchen and saw Xu Xiao standing at the door of his house, watching.

Ruan Lin walked up to him suspiciously, and seeing that he was holding two familiar buckets, she asked in surprise, "Xiao Xiao, what are these?"

"Grandma Ruan, these are your buckets, they fell on the river, I brought them back for you." Xu Xiao said, and at the same time he laboriously brought in two buckets full of fish from outside: "I didn't touch the fish inside, I brought them all back for you."

The fish and the buckets weighed more than 20 kilograms. Although he had developed a lot of strength from doing farm work, it still took him a lot of effort to carry these two buckets.

In fact, he could have asked other children to help, but out of some selfish mentality, he did not do so. Instead, he spent almost two hours carrying them back bit by bit.

Ruan Lin knew at a glance that the bucket was not light. It must have been very hard for a child who was not even ten years old to carry it back. She didn't know what to say.
