Chapter 529: Chapter 529: The Wolf’s Gift (2)_1

After entering the house and not finding Xiu Xi, she turned to ask the Ruanlin family matriarch, "Grandma, where did Brother Xi go?"

"That child went to the front mountain as soon as you fell asleep," said the Ruanlin family matriarch, pausing before asking her, "What did he send you today?"

Ruan Jiaojiao spread out her hands. It was precisely because she received nothing that she found it odd, and now she couldn’t even find the person.

Ruan Jiaojiao ran upstairs for a bit and saw a few older brothers and Lu Xian and Lu Zishu still playing. They were playing something she didn’t like, so she ran back down and nestled among the women to listen to their gossip.

The family trivia was fascinating to Ruan Jiaojiao.

However, when her gaze landed on Wu Le, it slightly sharpened.

Her fourth aunt only learned about the restaurant business booming after a week, and she was so furious that she argued with her fourth uncle, blaming him for not telling her about it.

Because the argument was so intense, and Ruan Qun was so young, he was frightened and ran to find the Ruanlin family matriarch, bawling his eyes out.

At that time, she was upstairs and didn’t know about it. By the time she came down, her grandmother had already dealt with the matter.

She didn’t know what had been said.

But she did know that the next day her fourth aunt came looking for her parents.

Eventually, Shu Jiao lent her aunt four hundred yuan, with an IOU, and now the construction of her fourth uncle’s house had started, and it would be completed by the end of the year.

Perhaps because of the house, her fourth aunt’s mood improved as well.

During this time, she smiled at everyone she saw.

Ruan Jiaojiao was happy to see this change, even though she really knew her fourth aunt was selfish and liked to take advantage. She thought all of this was for her older brothers and could be forgiven.

Of course, what was most important was that her fourth uncle was not like her second uncle. Her fourth uncle was an upright and scrupulous man. He kept a watchful eye on her fourth aunt, and the money she borrowed was also with her fourth uncle’s agreement.

Ever since he resigned from the factory, her fourth uncle had not returned but instead focused on the progress of the house construction, leaving only her fourth aunt to return to the factory.

Moreover, she knew that because the family restaurant’s business was so good, her parents already planned to open a branch in Lin City. In the future, they would need an accountant, and her fourth uncle was the best candidate for that position.

As for her third and second uncles, one helped in the kitchen and kept an eye on the shop, while the second uncle was responsible for purchases.

However, after the previous incident, her father realized that even among close brothers, sloppy accounting shouldn’t happen, and it was wrong to split the earnings into four equal parts as before.

He took her mother’s advice and paid salaries to the uncles, distributing commissions based on the revenue, plus a substantial year-end bonus, to ensure none of the uncles were shortchanged.

Last month, this was exactly how it was done. Each uncle received nearly sixty yuan, which was much better than working outside.

When her fourth aunt received that sixty yuan, she laughed and cried.

The Ruanlin family matriarch said that was tears of joy. When the matriarch spoke those words, her expression was indescribably complex.

Ruan Jiaojiao thought that in reality, her grandmother also cared deeply for the uncles, hoping more than anyone that they could live well.

Zhao Li’s family stayed until almost evening and then went back home after dinner, but not before a little incident occurred.

Ruan Jiaojiao’s certificate of award had gone missing! She had clearly placed it in the Ruanlin family matriarch’s room before.

She became so anxious that she paced frantically around the house, searching everywhere, but it was nowhere to be found.
