Chapter 627 The Peace Rope is Broken (1)_1
"We used to be in the same class, and I promised to give him some candy, but I kept forgetting. You must remember to give it to him for me," Ruan Jiaojiao said with a smile as she looked at Xiu Jianlin, who was standing there looking dazed.
Xiu Jianlin hesitated for two seconds before nodding finally. His eyes involuntarily glanced at the young man who stood by her side, not knowing when he had appeared. However, the moment he locked eyes with the young man, he immediately averted his gaze and walked away with trembling hands.
Most villagers knew about the Xiu Family’s situation. The Xiu Family hadn’t been doing too poorly in the past, especially in the years after Xiu Jianlin married Xiu Xi’s mother—their lives were actually quite good. But after Xiu Xi’s mother passed away, and he married Liu Mei, their circumstances plummeted drastically.
It seems that one must indeed marry a virtuous wife.
The villagers’ gazes unconsciously fell on the couple walking toward the village. When they saw Liu Mei get angry over wanting candy because Xiu Jianlin was peeling it too slowly, and she kicked him immediately, they all sighed deeply.
No matter how Xiu Jianlin’s days were, he had brought them upon himself... No one else was to blame...
The villagers felt somewhat down because of Xiu Jianlin, but their attention quickly shifted to something else.
It was because Lu Zhiwei had come to give his gift money. Nowadays, in the village, the customary gift money ranged from ten to twenty yuan, at most fifty yuan, yet Lu Zhiwei had taken out a thousand yuan all at once.
