The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s
Chapter 302 Recognizing a God Relative (7)_1

Upon hearing the mention of Auntie Wu, Wa Yiting’s face changed, and she dared not say anything more. She turned around, crying and wiping away tears, trudging away slowly and looking back every three steps.

The lady of the Ruanlin Family closed the front door, and upon returning, she offered an apologetic explanation to Lu Zhiwei and Zhao Li, "Please don’t mind her, this child has had a hard life, otherwise, she wouldn’t have caused such a fuss."

Yet even as she said this, Wa Yiting’s behavior had greatly diminished her standing in the lady of the Ruanlin Family’s eyes, causing her much displeasure.

The child was young and spoke frankly, speaking whatever came to mind.

Leaving aside her recent disrespect and utterly baffling conduct, the mere fact she had compared her life to that of Jiaojiao’s, even to the point of belittling it, was enough to stir discontent.

Her Jiaojiao might not know how to do anything, but so what? Was there really a need for her Jiaojiao to pitch in, given how large her family was?

Should she go gather pigweed? Work the fields? Or take care of the whole family’s laundry and cooking?

She didn’t even want to think about her doing such things, let alone actually do them!

She walked over and picked up her own Jiaojiao, who was looking up at her, fearful that she might feel upset after hearing Wa Yiting’s words, and coaxed her, "My sweet little one is born to be cherished, there’s no need to learn those things, you are perfect just as you are now!"

These words were also intended for Lu Zhiwei and Zhao Li to hear.

Indeed, her granddaughter was not like other children, capable of handling everything inside and outside the house, but so what?

She didn’t care.

She wanted Zhao Li to understand that her dear Little Jiaojiao was not one to be diligent and handy, and if there was any disdain for that, it’d be better to drop the idea of becoming affinal kin sooner rather than later.

Zhao Li, being an astute person, immediately chuckled in agreement, "Exactly, with such a fair and plump darling like her, there’s no need to be able to do anything. She is indeed born to enjoy the blessings of life, right, Little Jiaojiao..." Her tone was also extremely doting.

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao.

You are the adults, and whatever you say is right! But let’s just keep it simple, please don’t describe me as fair and plump - it makes me feel like a pig!

On the other side, Lu Zhiwei saw Ruan Jianguo’s face remain unperturbed, and his eyes flickered, leading him to his own considerations.

He had seen a lot of the world.

He himself did not care whether he fathered sons or daughters.

But he had seen many families that valued sons over daughters, and this was the first time he had witnessed a family that treated their daughter and granddaughter like treasures. He couldn’t help but regard Ruan Jianguo, this farmer, with even greater esteem.

A man of such enlightenment was not comparable in wisdom and breadth of heart to the common folk.

Lunch was eaten at the Ruan Family’s house, and even though Lu Zhiwei said there was no need to be polite, just a simple meal would do, the lady of the Ruanlin Family still prepared a table full of dishes. Their household did not lack for food, and their meals were even better than those of city folks.

After lunch, the couple sat for a while, waiting for the sun to lessen in intensity before setting off for home. After they had left, the lady of the Ruanlin Family turned to Ruan Jianguo, "Don’t interfere with the affair of recognizing a godparent."

"Alright," Ruan Jianguo nodded. He trusted his mother completely on this matter and knew that all her considerations were definitely for the good of Ruan Jiaojiao.

The lady of the Ruanlin Family took advantage of the afternoon house arrangement to call Ruan Jiaojiao into her room and asked, "Jiaojiao, would you like to recognize Auntie Li as your godmother?"

Ruan Jiaojiao shook her head without hesitation.
