Upon hearing this, she quickly waved her hand, and both she and Ruan Bo stayed.

The Ruanlin Family had basically recovered by now, and with no outsiders at home, the two busied themselves in the kitchen together.

In less than half an hour, they had prepared a large table full of dishes, which Ruan Jianguo moved to the yard. The adults were seated while the children stood as they ate.

Meatmeat finally had a full meal, wagging its tail joyfully as it ate.

Ruan Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi were sitting on stools on the steps, while Ruanlin’s Lady and Shu Jiao kept bringing them dishes to try. Ruan Jiaojiao looked at all her little brothers around the house and felt more energized to eat than ever.

When Wu Le and Ruan Jianmin returned, the meal was almost finished.

Seeing the two of them enter the house with exhausted faces, Ruan Jianguo asked, "Have you eaten?"

Wu Le and Ruan Jianmin nodded, each finding a stool to sit on. Ruan Jiaojiao and Shu Jiao brought out slices of watermelon from the kitchen.

"Auntie, Uncle, have some watermelon."

"Ah, thank you, Little Jiaojiao," said Ruan Jianmin as he quickly took some, smiling.

Wu Le managed a smile too, but it seemed forced. Ruan Jiaojiao looked at her suspiciously before going back to sit by the Ruanlin’s Lady.

Ruanlin’s Lady glanced at Wu Le, her gaze growing colder.

Ruan Jianguo had left the restaurant in the hands of three others, something she only found out about afterward. She did not agree with this decision, for nothing is more unpredictable than the human heart, and one should never use money to test it.

Especially the kind that comes without effort, it can corrupt the soul.

Ruan Jianmin was truly exhausted, up before dawn to go to the city and only returning after dark. The constant back and forth was truly tiring.

Of course, the main issue was that he hadn’t made much money.

Ruan Jianguo had passed on a well-performing shop to him, which had been profitable at first, but now...

Thinking of this, Ruan Jianmin couldn’t help but sigh.

After greeting everyone, he took the boys and left first.

"It seems business really isn’t good," Ruan Jianguo said.

"If business were good, would Wu Le have that look on her face??" retorted Ruanlin’s Lady indignantly, "I told you not to do it from the start, but you wouldn’t listen. Just wait and see, if there are losses, it’ll all be blamed on you!"

It wasn’t that Ruanlin’s Lady always assumed the worst. It’s just that sometimes, when money becomes involved, things start to change.

At Ruan Jianguo’s words, he didn’t know what to say and just forced a smile in Shu Jiao’s direction.

That evening.

Ruan Jiaojiao wasn’t in a hurry to go to her room to sleep; instead, she lingered in Ruanlin’s Lady’s embrace, asking her, "Granny, will Auntie Four really blame Dad?"

She was a bit anxious. She knew that the human heart was unpredictable, but apart from Aunt Liao Zhaoji, who didn’t love her brothers, she thought all her other aunts were quite nice.

Wu Le was a bit mercenary, but Jiaojiao thought she was just worried about her brothers.

Especially now that their family’s life was improving, and her Uncle Three’s family was selecting a spot to lay the foundation for a house, she understood why Auntie Four might be feeling anxious.

"I don’t know," sighed Ruanlin’s Lady. She too hoped for the best, wishing only that Wu Le wouldn’t be so shortsighted and that Uncle Four would keep an eye on things.

She looked down at the little treasure in her arms, "Jiaojiao, will you sleep with Granny tonight?"

"Mhm! I’ll sleep with Granny," Ruan Jiaojiao said affectionately, hugging Ruanlin’s Lady’s waist and snuggling in her arms.

Ruanlin’s Lady’s heart melted with the cuddling, her large hand caressing her back, she gently soothed, "Sleep now, Granny is here with you."
