Before Mu Ruanruan had time to find out whether Jiang He was angry or not, she heard the news that Jiang Lan had fallen ill again.
The inflammation in his leg had already healed, but in order to reduce Jiang He's burden, he overworked himself and caught a cold last night, so he had a fever this morning.
It was a low fever, less than 38 degrees, so I didn't go to the hospital.
None of Jiang He's men went to work, but stayed at Jiang Lan's house.
Mu Ruanruan also noticed something strange on Jiang Xiaotao's unusually solemn face, and only found out about this matter after asking several times.
After school, she went home with Jiang Xiaotao, still carrying the green canvas bag, the cross-body bag that Jiang He called a treasure box.
She was actually a little nervous because she was too concerned about whether Jiang He was angry or not. She asked Jiang Xiaotao but got nothing out of it, so she became even more frightened.
Mu Ruanruan was really afraid of Jiang He's temper. When he was angry, his face was frighteningly dark, and the air pressure within a few meters was very low.
If he was angry, Mu Ruanruan planned to go there later to avoid him.
Another point is that the reason why Mu Ruanruan was afraid of meeting Jiang He was Dai Xiaohu.
Ever since Jiang He asked her if she liked him, Jiang He has been very concerned about Dai Xiaohu's affairs and doesn't like her to be involved with Dai Xiaohu. Although Mu Ruanruan did not make it clear whether she was willing or not, she still did not refuse.
Dai Xiaohu has been visiting Wang Yue'e's house more frequently these days. I heard that he really bought her a pair of leather shoes. Anyone with a little common sense knows Dai Xiaohu's purpose.
And every time Dai Xiaohu came over, Jiang He's face looked very ugly.
Mu Ruanruan couldn't explain why Jiang He was feeling this way. Could it be that he liked her?
It shouldn't be possible. At most, it's just that he doesn't hate her. If a man likes a woman, shouldn't he always consider her and pamper her?
Why do I still get angry and lose my temper with her so often?
Maybe Jiang He just didn't like Mu Ruanruan's behavior. She had indeed been dealing too much with Dai Xiaohu, Li Dazhu and others for her plan, and even Zhao Jinyu couldn't refuse her.
From this point of view, she is indeed not a good girl, no wonder Jiang He doesn't like her.
However, she had no way to solve the problem for the time being, so she could only let him bear with it and try to appear in front of him less often.
"Has Aunt Zhu Ying arrived?" she asked Jiang Xiaotao.
If Zhu Ying were here, even Jiang He would be forced to save her face and not be too harsh on himself.
Zhu Ying cares so much about Jiang Lan, so she must care if Jiang Lan is sick.
"No, Aunt Ying hasn't been here for many days."
Jiang Xiaotao's little face showed a maturity that was inconsistent with his age. He sighed and was very troubled.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Xiaotao glanced at Mu Ruanruan and lowered his eyes: "Dad won't let me say it."
Mu Ruanruan didn't say anything. She took out a lollipop from her bag and stuffed it into Jiang Xiaotao's hand.
"We are friends, right?"
Jiang Xiaotao was a little surprised, but nodded, biting the plastic wrapper of the lollipop with his teeth.
Mu Ruanruan took the lollipop and helped him tear it open: "So-called friends are people who can share things with each other that cannot be shared with others, such as troubles, so that friends can help each other."
"May I?"
"Of course. Has your father been in a bad mood these days?"
Jiang Xiaotao nodded.
"Is your father happy when Aunt Zhu Ying is around?"
"happy."
"That's right. They both actually have feelings for each other, but due to some misunderstandings, they have a conflict. Your father is unhappy, and Aunt Zhu Ying is also unhappy.
If we can help them untie this knot in their hearts, then maybe Aunt Zhu Ying can become your mother, right? "
Mu Ruanruan blinked: "Do you want to?"
Jiang Xiaotao opened his eyes wide and said loudly: "I do."
While eating a lollipop, Jiang Xiaotao told Mu Ruanruan everything he knew.
Zhu Ying and Jiang Lan were originally classmates. Later, they both dropped out of school due to family poverty, but their relationship has always been good.
Zhu Ying often comes to play with Jiang Lan, and Jiang Lan also often goes to Wutong Village to find Zhu Ying. Zhu Ying's parents also like Jiang Lan very much.
Later, when Zhu Ying reached marriageable age, her family tried to arrange a marriage for her, but she rejected all the blind dates introduced to her.
Zhu Ying's parents knew that she liked Jiang Lan, but Jiang Lan's family was too poor, and Zhu Ying would only suffer if she married into the family, so they locked her up.
No matter what her parents did, Zhu Ying was unwilling to get married and even cut her wrists.
Later, Jiang Lan learned about this and did not want to delay Zhu Ying, so she married Jiang Xiaotao's mother.
A year later, Jiang Xiaotao's mother gave birth to Jiang Xiaotao. Jiang Lan wanted them to live a better life, so she went to work in a brick kiln.
That is the hardest and most tiring work.
The brick kiln needed night watch. One night, it was originally Peng Fei and another person's turn, but that person said he had something to do at home, so he switched with Jiang Lan.
In the middle of the night, the brick kiln collapsed. Jiang Lan had just gotten up and was shouting loudly. People around heard the shouting and came over.
The only person who didn't come was Peng Fei.
Peng Fei didn't come out, but everyone was scared.
Everyone in the village knows the impact of a kiln collapsing while it's firing. The energy burning fiercely in the middle would be like lava falling down.
Can burn everything.
"It hasn't collapsed yet. Someone come and help." Jiang Lan ran back to save Peng Fei.
But the house collapsed due to the falling bricks and the wood was crushed, and Jiang Lan couldn't move it by herself.
The men and women around were all terrified and didn't dare to move forward. Many of them just ran away.
