Chapter 339 Power On (2)

Today, Wu Le and Du Qing were both on holiday, so they moved their bamboo beds to the courtyard to cool off.

When Ruan Jiaojiao and the others arrived, the courtyard door was open. As soon as Ruan Jie stepped through the courtyard door, he heard Wu Le inside asking Du Qing, "Third sister-in-law, why hasn't your eldest sister-in-law come back yet? Didn't she agree to come back before school starts?"

Because he didn't know there were people standing outside, Wu Le didn't lower his voice, and the four people outside heard it clearly.

Ruan Jie paused, and Ruan Jiaojiao behind him also stopped.

Du Qing did not answer Wu Le immediately. She waited for a long time before saying, "I will be back." Her tone was firm, because there were not many mothers like Liu Zhaodi in the world who could give up their own children.

Wu Le seemed to say something in response, but because they were far away and surrounded by the sound of frogs, the people outside could not hear clearly.

Ruan Jie's expression changed outside. He had no interest in going in, so he turned around and walked back.

Ruan Jiaojiao glanced at Ruan Hao. Ruan Hao touched her little head, bent down to pick her up, and took Xu Xu and Rourou back home.

Compared with the joy on the way here, the atmosphere was so silent that it was scary.

For Ruan Jiaojiao, whether Shu Jie came back or not did not have such a big impact on her.

But this is obviously not the case for the rest of the Ruan family. As the school opening date approaches, Ruan Jiaojiao has seen Ruan Jianguo squatting by the shed in the backyard smoking many times, looking a little dazed.

He must be feeling bad, too.

The four of them went and came back. Ruan Linshi and Ruan Jianguo were talking about the store. When they saw them come back, they asked in surprise, "Why are you back? Are they all asleep?"

Ruan Jie glanced at Ruan Linshi, then at Ruan Jianguo, and asked him, "Dad, why hasn't Mom come back yet? Didn't she say she would be back when school starts? Did she lie to us?"

Ruan Jie's words were like a bomb that suddenly dropped into the calm lake, making Ruan Jianguo a little confused.

There was no news from Shu Jie, and she didn't send any more letters. It was as if she had suddenly disappeared from this world.

Ruan Jianguo was more anxious than anyone else, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. Every day when he came back from the city, he would ask if there were any letters or packages for him when he passed by the post office in the town. If he didn't know how to behave, the people in the post office would be annoyed to death by him.

He felt a little better because of the electricity in the past two days, but he never thought that Ruan Jie would suddenly ask such a question. He was stunned.

No matter how he answered, it was wrong.

"Dad! Why don't you answer? Does mom not want us at all? Last time you said you were going to look for mom, but you didn't go. Is it because you know mom doesn't want us anymore that you are too lazy to go..."

"Ruan Jie!" Ruan Lin shouted angrily, "How can you talk like that!" Ruan

Jie was interrupted and didn't continue talking, but his eyes turned red. He bit his lip and buried his head and rushed into the house. Ruan Lin shouted from behind that there were mosquito repellent tablets in the house that hadn't dissipated the smell, but he didn't care and rushed in first.

"This kid!" Ruan Lin followed him two steps, frowned as she watched him enter the house, called out twice at the door, and when she saw that he didn't respond, she turned around and looked at Ruan Jianguo behind her.

Shu Jie's affairs were no longer a secret.

She was too lazy to hide it, so she asked Ruan Jianguo directly: "What do you think?"
