Hearing what Ruan Jiayu said, Xia Shige frowned slightly - this is really getting weirder and weirder!
Before Xia Shige could ask further questions, Ruan Jiayu continued, "There are several elderly people living alone in our apartment building. They can't take care of themselves. Guozhang and Ziqi often come to help them. They will send some supplies to Guozhang and Ziqi as a reward!"
At this point, Ruan Jiayu's face showed some joy. She pointed to the two boxes of coal in the corner and said with a smile: "These coals were also brought by Guozhang and his men! We really don't lack supplies here, sister-in-law, you can rest assured!"
Xia Shige and Sun Yuegui looked at each other after hearing this, and saw confusion and surprise in each other's eyes.
Elderly people living alone? Unable to take care of themselves?
How come they haven't heard of it?
At this time, cold-weather supplies are life-saving and extremely precious. How could anyone use supplies as a reward to give to others? ?
This is too outrageous!
This matter was full of weirdness, and Xia Shige suddenly had a bad guess in his mind...
——Could it be...could it be that this Third Uncle has gone out to gamble again?!
Could it be that these cold-weather supplies were won by him in a gamble?
If this is really the case...then all the family's efforts will be in vain!
Xia Shige's heart was in turmoil, but she remained calm. She looked at Ruan Jiayu and asked, "Aunt, where are my uncle and cousin Ziqi? Aren't they home now?"
The smile on Ruan Jiayu's face faded, and she replied: "They just went to the neighbor's place to help! It will probably take a while for them to come back."
Ruan Jiayu is very happy that her husband and son always bring back some supplies every time they go out to help.
Xia Shige nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask, "Do you know which family they are targeting? In addition to delivering supplies, we came here today and also have something else we want to talk to them about."
Xia Shige thought about checking out what was going on. If her third uncle was really still gambling... then from now on, she would never interfere in the affairs of her third uncle's family again.
After all, if the third uncle couldn't quit gambling, they would be doomed to a bad end, and Xia Shige didn't want his family to be implicated.
Ruan Jiayu shook her head when she heard this, a trace of confusion flashed across her face, and she replied: "I don't know, they didn't tell me... How about this, you sit down and wait for a while, they will be here soon!"
Ruan Jiayu invited Sun Yuegui and Xia Shige to sit on the newly purchased fabric sofa and poured water for them.
She handed the warm water cups to Sun Yuegui and Xia Shige, and chatted with a smile: "Speaking of which, these kettles, water cups, and this fabric sofa were all given by the neighbors when Guozhang and Ziqi went out to help. The neighbors in our community are all good people, and they are generous..."
After hearing Ruan Jiayu's words, Sun Yuegui and Xia Shige looked at each other again, and thought in unison in their hearts - how does this sound like a reward?
The more I listen, the more it sounds like gambling!
Sun Yuegui endured it again and again, but finally couldn't bear it anymore.
She grabbed Ruan Jiayu's hand and asked solemnly: "Jiayu, don't blame me for speaking harshly... Why does this not sound like a reward to me..."
"...Jiayu, tell the truth to your sister-in-law. Did the third brother...did he gamble again?"
