Chapter 92: Saved by the Minor Antagonist (7)_1
Ruan Jiaojiao, upon hearing this, looked at the Ruanlin Family in surprise. Even her nine brothers never had such treatment.
Ruan Jianguo also followed, "If your parents don’t send you to school, Uncle will pay for your education until you’ve completed it!"
Having saved Ruan Jiaojiao, in the Ruan Family, he was seen as a lifesaver!
Even those boys, upon hearing this, didn’t have any objections, clearly regarding Xiu Xi as their benefactor. Ruan Jie even secretly swore that he would look after Xiu Xi from now on, treating him as if he were his own brother.
Xiu Xi, listening to everyone’s comments, didn’t respond. His gaze remained fixed on Ruan Jiaojiao the whole time. When Ruan Jiaojiao grinned at him, his gaze would soften, and even without a smile, the whole atmosphere around him would change.
Wu Le was quick with her hands and feet, and in less than half an hour, she served up a meal. There were five dishes: a big plate of stir-fried pork with peppers, an egg soup, smoked meat stewed with bamboo shoots, and two green vegetables. As soon as she set them on the table, their aroma filled the air.
The members of the Ruan Family had lost their appetite these past two days, casually eating without really feeling hungry. Now, upon smelling the food, everyone felt hungry.
A few boys also crowded around.
Fortunately, Wu Le had cooked a large pot of sweet potato rice, which was enough for everyone.
"Come on, eat while it’s hot," she called out to the crowd, specially serving Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi white rice without sweet potatoes.
