Chapter 486: Chapter 486: Birthday (2)_1

Lu Zishu actually wanted to go to the Ruan family’s house to play as well. After Lu Xian entered junior high school, he was left alone at home, which he wasn’t used to. He longed for some playmates, and he really liked the Ruan kids; they were just his type, and he enjoyed playing with them.

However.

Seeing Zhao Li like this, he couldn’t help singing a different tune, "Mom, I have a lot of homework today, I need to go back and do my homework."

"Then go back, I’m not stopping you. You have legs, don’t you? Can’t you walk or what? Do you want me to carry you back?" Zhao Li glanced at him with impatience and waved him off, "Go on, go back by yourself!"

"..." Lu Zishu. Weren’t you supposed to pick me up after school?

After scolding Lu Zishu, Zhao Li didn’t bother with him anymore and happily walked towards the Ruan family’s house with Ruan Jiaojiao’s hand in hers, as if there were wings on her feet.

Lu Zishu had no choice but to follow along, but as soon as he got together with the Ruan kids, he became willing and happy to do so.

Zhao Li continued on her way, chatting with Shu Jiao, and soon they arrived at the Ruan family’s house.

Lu Zishu really liked the Ruan family’s dog, Meat Meat, and immediately started playing with it upon entering. Zhao Li and Ruan Jiaojiao went to the backyard to find the Ruanlin matriarch.

These days, the Ruanlin matriarch had almost completely recovered to her pre-stroke condition, virtually no different; anyone unfamiliar with her condition couldn’t tell she had ever had a stroke.

She was the type who couldn’t sit still and went to the backyard every day to putter around, even though there really wasn’t much to do.

Ruan Jianguo was quite worried at first, but after hearing from the village doctor, Dr. Lu, that it was beneficial for the Ruanlin matriarch to move her muscles and joints like this, he stopped fussing.

At that moment, the Ruanlin matriarch was in the backyard feeding the chicks, and upon seeing Zhao Li, she immediately smiled, set down her bowl of chicken feed, and greeted her warmly.

"Zhao Li is here, come in and sit down. Why have you come to the backyard? It’s so dirty here." She said, leading the way to the front.

Zhao Li observed her movements and looked at her with some shock.

"Auntie, have you fully recovered?" Zhao Li asked in disbelief. She had seen stroke patients before and even had them around from time to time.

If they were younger and it was a mild stroke, recovering in ten days to half a month was quite normal.

But the kind of severe cerebral stroke the Ruanlin matriarch had suffered, especially at her age, typically would not see recovery for at least a year or more, and even then, it would be rare for someone to reach her level of apparent health.

If it hadn’t been just a few days prior that she saw her lying in bed, immobile and struggling to speak, Zhao Li would have almost doubted her own eyes or suspected that the Ruanlin matriarch had never had a stroke at all, that perhaps it was all a ruse.

Hearing this, the Ruanlin matriarch ahead stiffened.

She had become too self-satisfied and forgotten herself.

Her step halted, and she quickly leaned against the nearest wall as her movements slowed down.

"Oh no..."

Zhao Li was startled and hurried up to support her, "Auntie, what’s wrong?"

The Ruanlin matriarch took the opportunity to lean on her, clutching her waist and moaning, "Ah, my back feels uncomfortable. Quick, help me, quick."

Zhao Li was scared by her act and quickly supported her arm, helping her towards the front of the house while Ruan Jiaojiao, trying not to laugh, ran to move a stool, pretending to be worried, "Grandma, please sit down. Dad kept telling you not to move around; you see, you’re not feeling well now."
