The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s-Chapter 828: Visit Xiu Family (8)

"What can I do? It’s your own fault for not being competitive enough to achieve good results. You even have the nerve to speak. It’s one thing to not surpass Jiaojiao, but how could you not even surpass Ruan Lei? Do you still have the face to ask me what to do?"

"..." Ruan Lei, who was metaphorically shot while lying down, felt like these words sounded like a compliment, but somehow it just felt a bit off to him.

"I didn’t mean that. I meant, if you go to the provincial capital tomorrow, who’s going to take care of the cooking for dad, brother, and me?"

"Don’t you guys have hands or feet? Can’t you cook for yourselves? Should I always be the one to serve you?"

"..." Lu Zishu, who sees Zhao Li firing away mercilessly and becoming even more incensed, clenched his lips. Wasn’t it enough that he stopped talking?

"You tell me, you three adult men, have you ever felt sorry for me? It seems like I’m nothing but a nanny in your eyes, serving your meals and your needs. Now that I finally got a chance to go out, I still have to worry about your meals? What’s the use of supporting you also, how can you not feel some pity for your mother?!"

"..." Lu Zishu, he really was wrong, he should not have spoken at all.

Zhao Li scolded Lu Zishu a bit more before turning to ask the Ruanlin Family for their opinion: "Auntie, what do you think?"

"Sure," the lady from the Ruanlin Family agreed immediately.

The family had a car, making it convenient to go to the provincial capital. Since it was to ensure the examinees were well-prepared, Ruan Jiaojiao and the others were set to go with the coach bus to the provincial capital tomorrow. Although Xiu Xi, Ruan Lei, and high school student Ruan Jie would be accompanying them, it was still Ruan Jiaojiao’s first real time leaving home, and the lady from the Ruanlin Family was truly worried.

After the lady from the Ruanlin Family gave her approval, Zhao Li beamed with happiness and called up to Ruan Jiaojiao who was upstairs to come down.

When Ruan Jiaojiao came down, Zhao Li excitedly hugged her and said, "My dear, tomorrow godmother and your grandma will go with you to the provincial capital. Don’t be scared, godmother and your grandma will be there to cheer you on!"

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao actually wasn’t scared.

But seeing how happy Zhao Li was, she didn’t have the heart to dampen her spirits and happily said, "That’s great! Is it just you and grandma going?"

Zhao Li hesitated for a moment, "Not sure if your mom is free, godmother will ask her later."

Ruan Jiaojiao nodded obediently, and instead of rushing upstairs, she squatted next to the lady from the Ruanlin Family, helping her bundle up the scattered sweet potato vines to prepare them for chopping.

Meanwhile, Ruan Lei and Lu Zishu who were watching TV, huddled together and started whispering.

Ruan Lei asked, "Lu Zishu, are you sure you’re the biological child of your family? Aren’t you, like Xiu Xun, picked up somewhere?"

"..." Lu Zishu.

This day couldn’t get any worse, the brotherhood couldn’t continue like this.

Already troubled with heartache from Zhao Li’s stabs, an angered Lu Zishu howled and pounced onto Ruan Lei, and the two wrestled into a scuffle.

Some boys nearby watched the excitement and occasionally cheered them on, while Meatball sat on the side joining in with barks, creating a rather chaotic scene.

Zhao Li looked up, and the contempt could not be more distinct. Glancing at the well-behaved Ruan Jiaojiao helping out beside her, she couldn’t feel happier and kindly asked, "Jiaojiao, what birthday gift do you want this year? Just tell godmother."

Ruan Jiaojiao handed the neatly arranged sweet potato vines to the lady from the Ruanlin Family, smiled brightly, and sincerely answered, "This year, Jiaojiao still wishes for all the people Jiaojiao loves and everyone who loves Jiaojiao to be happy, healthy, and joyous."
