The other two who also came out.

"..." Doctor Lu. Such tacit understanding, unbeatable in the army!

"..." The Captain. So ruthless! Truly a child raised by the Ruan Family!

By the time the elders had fully separated the youngsters, Xiu Cheng’s eyes had both turned into panda eyes, completely symmetrical, and his mouth was bleeding, too. Although he didn’t lose any teeth, his mouth was bruised — he had clearly been hit hard.

"What are you doing?!! Is this how you bully someone?!" Liu Mei embraced her son, heartbroken.

"It’s just children fooling around; we adults shouldn’t interfere. Isn’t that right, Ruan Family?" The Ruanlin Family Lady simply returned her previous words back to her.

"You..." Liu Mei was so angry that her head buzzed, yet she couldn’t come up with any words to refute.

At last, the incident had no choice but to be brushed aside.

After Liu Mei took Xiu Cheng back to tend to his wounds with a grim face, Ruan Jie also dismissed the few children at his doorstep. Eventually, he pulled Li Da aside and gave him two pieces of candy as thanks for his testimony just now.

Li Da had not expected to receive candy just for saying a couple of words and was overjoyed. He only patted his chest and said, "Don’t worry, Brother Ruan Jie, if anyone bullies your sister again, I’ll definitely let you know!"

"..." Ruan Jie. Thanks, but he hoped there wouldn’t be a next time.

After seeing off Li Da, there was still Xiu Xun left in the courtyard.

Xiu Xun was eight this year. Only two years ago, his adoptive parents had given birth to a younger brother. He used to be the darling of the family, but with the arrival of the brother, he became superfluous. He had to do a lot of chores every day and should have been in school by now, but he hadn’t been sent because his adoptive parents were stingy.

He was at the Li Family’s doorway today, collecting water from the ditch in front to water the vegetables, and had not expected to stumble upon this incident.

The Ruanlin Lady was very grateful to him; she offered to let him stay for dinner, but Xiu Xun declined. She could only give him some snacks, which this time Xiu Xun did not refuse and pocketed.

Before leaving, he approached Ruan Jiaojiao, smiled at her, and said, "See you next time, Sister Jiaojiao."

"Thank you." Ruan Jiaojiao bit her lip, not wanting to expose her missing teeth, and mumbled her thanks unclearly.

She had a very poor impression of the male protagonist in the book. She felt that if he did not love the original character, he should have made it clear early on and not waited until the two were about to engage before realizing he was in love with someone else, causing the original character to go mad and bringing misfortune to the entire Ruan Family.

With her eyes downcast, not looking at herself, Ruan Jiaojiao thought that Xiu Xun might simply have thought her eyes were still sore and didn’t mind. Before he left, he even patted her little head and said, "You’re really cute," and then turned and walked away.

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao.

Lifting her head and watching his departing figure with suspicion, she could feel that he had a fondness for her. Did he and the original character share some sort of past?

By evening, the meal that the Ruanlin Lady and Wu Le prepared was finally ready.

After looking at herself in the mirror, Ruan Jiaojiao saw her gapped teeth and felt unhappy. Her brothers gathered around to comfort her, telling her the teeth would grow back soon, but it did nothing to brighten her mood.

Simply because the gapped teeth looked so ugly!

She was supposed to be very pretty—

The result of her bad mood was that dinner didn’t taste good to Ruan Jiaojiao. She ate only a little before putting down her utensils and listlessly returned to her room.
