The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s

"You carried them all this way by yourself?" asked the Ruanlin family member, her face filled with disapproval. She stepped forward and pulled at his arm, "Your hands must be sore by now, you silly boy. They’re so heavy, you should have asked your Uncle Ruan to carry them." As she spoke, she quickly picked up the two buckets and carried them into the yard.

"You’ve worked too hard. Just wait, Grandma Ruan will pick out some nice fish for you to thank you for the help..."

"No need, no need," Xiu Xun hastily waved his hands: "I’ve caught plenty, and there’s a lot more at home. We have enough to eat."

His gaze shifted to the line of eleven people standing there and eventually rested on Ruan Jiaojiao, who had red eyes: "Grandma Ruan, what’s wrong with Jiaojiao?"

"Oh, it’s nothing. She’s just too thoughtless. I just scolded her a bit, to give her something to remember," the Ruanlin family member replied nonchalantly. Thinking of the candy and fruit she still had at home, and seeing that the boy wasn’t interested in fish, she said, "Just wait here for Grandma Ruan, I’ll get you some treats." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴoᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt

After saying that, she turned and went into the inner room.

Xiu Xun watched her go into the house, then slowly walked over to where Ruan Jiaojiao and the others were.

Ruan Jiaojiao’s small head was hanging low, completely unlike her usual lively and cute demeanor. Xiu Xun couldn’t quite pin down the feeling, but he knew she shouldn’t be like this.

In a low voice, he asked her, "Jiaojiao, did your grandma scold you?"

"It wasn’t just scolding—she hit me too! Grandma really has a hard heart." Little Fatty, standing on the other side, still couldn’t quite believe that the Ruanlin family member would actually hit Ruan Jiaojiao. He hadn’t breathed a word in front of the Ruanlin family member, but now that she was gone, he started to mutter, eyes full of incredulity.
