Chapter 299 Recognizing a God Relative (4)_1
"So that’s how it is," Lu Zhiwei understood immediately, but still couldn’t help saying as he looked at the fruit trees that seemed unlikely to survive, "These might not make it; next spring, I could help you..."
"No need, no need, it’s all just kids messing around. Come on in, it’s too hot outside." Ruanlin Family’s matriarch declined smoothly without any change in her expression, smiling as she invited them inside. Then, she went to get two cups of cool tea that had already chilled and handed them to the two men.
The two workers helped deliver the desk upstairs, and after having a cup of cool tea downstairs, they left in their tricycle.
Ruanlin Family matriarch invited the couple to stay for lunch. The couple had something in mind for their visit and readily accepted.
However, Ruan Jiaojiao had not expected that their visit this time would be for this reason—
Sitting in the main hall of the new building, Zhao Li glanced at Ruan Jiaojiao. The usually bold and decisive woman now seemed somewhat shy as she said to Ruanlin Family’s matriarch, "Auntie, I won’t lie to you, I really have an unreasonable request this time, and I hope you will agree to it."
Ruanlin Family’s matriarch thought she needed some kind of help and immediately replied, "You say it, if there’s anything we can do to help, we will for sure."
Zhao Li smiled faintly, then glanced at Ruan Jiaojiao again, her eyes full of affection, "The thing is, as you know, the family planning policy has been strict these years, and I’m someone who really likes daughters. Yet, I only managed to have two darn boys, it’s really... Over the years, I’ve always been fond of other people’s daughters, but I’ve never liked any child the way I like Jiaojiao. I really like this child so much! See, can I... adopt her as my goddaughter?"
Zhao Li knew that establishing godparent relationships was usually done between two families that were especially close, and they had only known the Ruan Family for a few months.
But what she said was true - she fell in love with Ruan Jiaojiao the moment she laid eyes on her! Ever since she met her, she’d been so antsy, having long wanted to establish a godparent relationship but waiting for the right opportunity, hoping the families would get to know each other a bit better first.
