Chapter 444: Chapter 444 Discharged (5)_1

"Owwooo... owwooo..." Rou Rou twisted her chubby body, crying out in a pitiful whine.

Ruan Jun, who was helping with the luggage, frowned, "Ruan Lei, don’t pull its tail."

"Owwooo!" Exactly, exactly.

Rou Rou immediately raised her neck in agreement, acting all smug with someone backing her up, but little did she know Ruan Jun’s next words would be, "Just kick its butt."

"..." Rou Rou, with her wolf eyes, was stunned.

She looked at Ruan Jun in disbelief, forelimbs pressed on the ground, whining at him with an air of indignation, amusing everyone to laughter.

Ruan Jiaojiao laughed too, reaching out to pat its plump head, "Rou Rou, did you take good care of Sanmao while I was away?"

"Owwooo!"

Rou Rou let out a low cry and twisted into the yard. When she came back out, she had a little kitten in her mouth.

Over ten days had passed, and Sanmao, who had been fed goat’s milk, had inflated in size, nearly twice as large.

Wu Le, who was aiding Mrs. Ruanlin into the house, said with a smile, "Jiaojiao, don’t worry. Auntie Four has made sure that Sanmao was well-fed, even if it meant going hungry herself. Look how much chubbier it is."

"Yes, thank you, Auntie Four," Ruan Jiaojiao nodded, expressing her gratitude with a smile.

She picked up Sanmao from the ground.

At first, Sanmao struggled, but upon catching the scent of Ruan Jiaojiao, it became enthusiastic, licking her little hand with its tongue and meowing affectionately.

"It seems that our Jiaojiao really has a natural charm. It doesn’t matter if it’s people or animals," Wu Le laughed again, her tone now warmer and more pleasing than before.

Ruan Jiaojiao knew this was because her father had temporarily left the management of the restaurant to her uncles. Although the business wasn’t as booming as on opening day, it must be profitable for Wu Le to be this joyful.

In the eyes of others, Wu Le might seem a bit mercenary, but Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t mind.

Compared to Liao Zhaoji, this aunt of hers was many times better. In this world, nobody could claim to be without self-interest. Even she, before knowing she was Ruan Jiaojiao, desired selfishly to hold onto the affection she’d received and didn’t want to step aside, didn’t she?

Besides, even if Aunt Four were mercenary, she wasn’t doing it just for herself but for their little family and her two younger brothers. With this in mind, Ruan Jiaojiao felt there was nothing wrong with it.

The family entered the building, joyful and cheerful.

Mrs. Ruanlin, who had been in the hospital for more than a week, was eager to leave her bed. Thanks to the medicinal herb Lingzhi, she felt much better, but she had to stay low-key in the hospital and had not shown her improvement.

Now back home without strangers around, she shook off her daughters-in-law’s hands, "I’d like to walk by myself."

"Mom, you’re not fully recovered yet. Why don’t you rest a bit more first?" Du Qing said worriedly.

"No need, I just want to move around a bit," Mrs. Ruanlin frowned, disliking the idea of others treating her as if she were disabled. She had always been a strong person, and suddenly being paralyzed and dependent on her daughters-in-law was a torture worse than death.

Du Qing was in a dilemma, not wanting to contradict her mother-in-law but also afraid of displeasing her.

Wu Le also tried to persuade her, "Yes, mom, you’re not well yet, take some more rest. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to walk later."
