Chapter 577: Chapter 577: Family Reunion (3)_1

During those tumultuous years, he himself had a hard time and had no leisure to take care of his daughter.

Later, when things became stable, his daughter found her way back home, and his heart filled with both joy and sorrow.

Decades had passed, and the daughter he once doted on had grown up, had her own children, and her own family.

He had tried to make an effort, even using his health as an excuse, hoping she would give up her family here and marry Wei’an, after all, Wei’an had waited for her so many years, and he understood his feelings best.

But she refused.

She said that she felt only sibling affection for Wei’an, and she loved her current family, her husband, and her children.

Back then he thought, what kind of country bumpkin could possibly match her? He came over, bringing Liang Wei’an along, wanting to see what sort of man she had actually married.

At first sight of Ruan Jian|Guo.

He was actually somewhat shaken.

Men understand men the best, whether a man is reliable and worthy of reliance—he could tell with one glance.

Still, his heart was unappeased, his feelings unrestful; that was why he gave them a hard time.

During the moment of causing trouble, he felt it was satisfying to speak those words out loud, but now when he thought about it, he felt a burning regret.

He knew clearly that even if he truly didn’t approve of Ruan Jian|Guo, these matters had already settled, they had three children together, and his words served no purpose but to cause distress to the other party and nothing more.

Thinking this, Old Master Shu sighed deeply once again, and slowly fell asleep smelling the sun-warmed quilt.

The next day, before dawn, Ruan Jian|Guo and Shu Jiao got up; winter mornings were especially cold, and that day also saw a bit of light rain, the cold wind rustling. Hearing the noise, the Ruanlin Family matriarch wanted to get up but was prevented by the couple.

Standing at the door, Shu Jiao lowered her voice and said, "Mom, you don’t need to get up, we’ll just grab something to eat in town. You rest, my dad’s stomach isn’t too good right now, it would trouble you to cook some millet porridge for him in the morning, and try to keep lunch light as well."

"I know, go on without worrying, be careful on the road," replied the Ruanlin Family matriarch without getting up, just raising her head.

Only after the couple tiptoed out did the Ruanlin Family matriarch crawl back under the covers, looking at Ruan Jiaojiao who was sleeping soundly beside her. She touched the quilt behind her with her hand, making sure it was tightly tucked in, before she lay down to sleep herself.

When Ruan Jiaojiao awoke, the sky was already bright.

The inside of the quilt felt like a different world, and she didn’t want to leave it at all.

Listening to the conversation between the Ruanlin Family matriarch and Old Master Shu outside, she feared the Ruanlin Family matriarch might fail to attend to Old Master Shu properly, so she had to get up reluctantly. However, it was just too cold, and as soon as she poked her head out, she immediately retreated back into the covers.

Footsteps sounded from outside, and she lifted her head to look.

"Xiuge, it’s so cold," she complained softly. Winter clothes were particularly cumbersome, and she didn’t want to dress at all. But seeing Xiu Xi holding her clothes, her eyes immediately brightened. She sat up within the cocoon of blankets, her eyes smiling, "Thank you, Xiuge."

She knew Xiu Xi must have warmed her clothes by the fire again.

Xiu Xi approached and handed her the clothes, Ruan Jiaojiao took them and felt they were indeed toasty warm. Without hesitating, she hurriedly put them on, lest they cool down soon.

Hearing her, the Ruanlin Family matriarch entered, and seeing that Ruan Jiaojiao had already dressed, she said with a smile, "Come out and have breakfast, it’s still being kept warm in the pot for you."
