Chapter 1307 Granny Ruan's Current Situation
Ren Huai stared at the completely unrepaired collapsed ruins, speechless for a long time.
Mr. Yu smashed half of the Ruan family's courtyard wall, including the area where the kitchen was located.
Since the kitchen is now unusable, the Ruan family rebuilt a simple stove on the side of the courtyard wall that hadn't been broken down, with a small shed on top, making it look particularly shabby.
At this moment, Granny Ruan was cooking on the stove.
Ren Huai couldn't help but take two steps forward, and frowned slightly as he looked at Granny Ruan's hunched back and thin appearance.
A moment later, a man limped out of the house, leaning on a cane, and came to Granny Ruan's side, asking, "Mother, hurry up!"
Ren Huai was surprised. This must be Lu Xiangjun's uncle? His leg had actually been broken.
Granny Ruan nodded in agreement and began stuffing firewood into the stove.
The man was clearly very irritable. Seeing that Granny Ruan didn't speak, he turned around and went back into the house.
However, as he passed by the shelf, he stood on one leg, took his crutch, and slammed the shelf to the ground, cursing, "They're drying these wild vegetables all day long. They eat wild vegetables every day, and they're turning green."
Granny Ruan quickly stood up. "Don't get angry, don't get angry. I'll make you some fried eggs today. You can eat the wild vegetables yourself. Go back to your room and rest."
Go cook your meal.
The man walked back into the house, stepping on the wild vegetables on the ground, without even glancing at Granny Ruan.
Granny Ruan sighed, wiped away her tears, squatted down to pick up the wild vegetables, put them back on the shelf, and then went back to cooking.
A short while later, a woman carrying a basket came in from outside. She walked up to Granny Ruan and started cursing, "Mother, from now on you'll wash your own clothes. You only change them once a month, and they're so dirty they can't be washed properly. Can you change them more often next time?"
Granny Ruan pinched the clothes she was wearing. "Eldest daughter-in-law, I only have one thick cotton coat left. It was so cold a while ago that I could only wear that one coat. I had no choice."
"What, are you blaming me for taking apart your other cotton coat to make clothes for the child? You can't do anything, but I can? The child is growing up day by day, and the pants are getting too tight around the ankles. What can I do? If you hadn't offended that second daughter of the Lu family, would our family be in this situation?"
Granny Ruan immediately started crying and sobbing, "Fine, fine, it's all my fault. I'll kneel down and kowtow to that girl, I'll beg her. Let her take all her grievances and hatred on me and let you go. If she doesn't agree, I'll stab myself twice."
The eldest son's wife pouted, "Why don't you wait until you can even meet them?"
An impatient voice came from inside the door, "What's all the noise about? Is the food ready yet? If you're not going to eat, get out!"
Granny Ruan dared not respond. The eldest daughter-in-law snorted and went to hang up the clothes.
When the meal was ready, Granny Ruan served everyone a bowl.
Everyone else was sitting in the main room eating, but she took a bowl of rice soup and half a bowl of wild vegetables, huddled behind the stove, and swallowed with difficulty while tears streamed down her face.
Ren Huai didn't watch any longer and turned to leave Ruanjia Village.
After boarding the carriage, Steward Xu shook his head and said, "This is too tragic. In the end, that old woman from the Ruan family didn't kill anyone. Lu Xiangjun is back, and her two younger siblings were exposed before they were sold. Smashing someone's house and breaking her uncle's leg is enough, isn't it?"
Ren Huai glanced at him, said nothing, and simply instructed the driver, "Go to Shangshi Village."
