Chapter 596: Chapter 596 Self-Inflicted Woe (2)_1

"Go, go watch TV," Shu Jiao finally said.

Ruan Jiaojiao was pushed out of the room. Actually, she still wanted to understand everything clearly, but when she saw Xiu Xi coming downstairs, she immediately pretended as if nothing had happened and went to the living room to continue watching TV.

After Ruan Jiaojiao had left, Shu Wen continued to ask, "Who is this Xiu Xun?"

"He’s a child from our village, with a pitiful background... It’s just that this child’s thoughts are too heavy," Shu Jiao said, shaking her head helplessly and choosing not to continue.

There are many people in this world who suffer—Wa Yiting, Xiu Xun, and even previously Xiu Xi.

Wa Yiting, in order to live a better life, could resort to unscrupulous means. She couldn’t judge, because that was someone’s way of living, but Wa Yiting’s evil was not hidden away, it was evident on the surface.

So young, what she liked, disliked, and wanted, she made it all clear—even if it was evil, she didn’t find it to be too terrifying.

But Xiu Xun was the complete opposite.

Because she foresaw him as a potential adversary, she reached out her hand to help him, but after observing him for almost ten days, she found that Xiu Xun’s thoughts were very heavy, so much so that sometimes she was alarmed.

Working in their shop, it was natural that he couldn’t be allowed to wear clothes so tattered. By the second day, she had already bought him a new jacket, but he seemed to never wear it at home, only at the shop.

Of course, she knew about his family situation and that wearing it in front of his foster parents might lead to it being taken away.

But for an eight-year-old child to display such resilience in near sub-zero temperatures was truly alarming to her.

And her daughter was too naive; as a selfish mother, she didn’t want her daughter to have too much contact with someone whose thoughts were so heavy.

Hearing this, Shu Wen didn’t continue to pry. Just as she was about to change the subject, a commotion suddenly arose from outside the house, followed by all the lights going out inside.

"Is it a power outage?"

"Damn, it’s such a critical moment, why did it go out?"

"They didn’t say there would be a power outage today!"

"..." A chorus of chatters echoed from outside the living room.

Taken aback by this, Shu Jiao and Shu Wen adjusted to the darkness then immediately groped their way outside, with Shu Jiao calling out from the living room corridor, "Jiaojiao?"

"Mom, I’m here, brother is with me," Ruan Jiaojiao immediately replied.

When the lights went out, her older brothers reacted swiftly, immediately surrounding her to prevent her from being pushed or trampled.

Relieved by her response, Shu Jiao went back to the room to find candles to light and bring out, while members of the Ruanlin Family also lit candles and carefully shielded the flames as they came out. Looking at the chaotic scene unfolding, they furrowed their brows and shouted, "Since the power is out, everyone should disperse. Come back tomorrow to watch, and be careful not to step on anyone."

Fortunately, Grandfather Shu had not lasted long and had gone to bed after watching the news and weather forecast, otherwise, he might have been really worried about being knocked or bumped.

The crowd sighed with disappointment but had no choice but to leave in an orderly manner, taking several minutes to clear out completely.

After everyone had left, the Ruanlin Family came over to pull Ruan Jiaojiao, taking her back to their room to sleep. Ruan Jiaojiao’s room was left to Shu Wen and Shu Jiao, while Shu Lang and Ruan Jian|guo went to sleep with the two brothers respectively.

Ruan Jian|guo stood up to close the courtyard door, but just as the door closed, it was flung open by someone: "Jian|guo, Jian|guo, help me, my spouse got electrocuted, help me take him to the hospital quickly!"
