Chapter 99: Chapter 99 Divorce (4)_1

"Alright, when you have time, go buy it. Tomorrow, weigh a pound of meat and visit Qian Xiabai’s place at the team to ask which day is good for laying the foundation."

"Okay." Ruan Jianguo nodded, eager to move this matter up on the agenda.

The four returned to the entrance of the village and from a distance saw a small figure standing there. As soon as she saw them coming back, she hurriedly greeted them.

"Why is Xiaoxi waiting here?" The Ruanlin Family matriarch, now fond of seeing Xiu Xi, asked with a smile, and from the oiled paper bag in her hand, she took out some cookies and a handful of hard candy to give to him.

Xiu Xi didn’t really like eating these snacks; he preferred meat to them. But seeing the soft and gentle Ruan Jiaojiao beside him, he took the candy and cookies, unwrapped one, and immediately stuffed it into Ruan Jiaojiao’s small mouth.

"Eat," he said, watching her intently.

Ruan Jiaojiao opened her mouth, and the hard candy touched her tongue. The sweet taste made her squint her eyes in satisfaction.

Watching her, Xiu Xi seemed satisfied as well.

The Ruanlin matriarch said helplessly, "Xiaoxi, you don’t have to worry about her. Grandma has a lot here, enough for her to eat."

"She likes it," Xiu Xi responded earnestly.

"..." The Ruanlin matriarch gave up. Seeing him so fond of Ruan Jiaojiao, she felt happy too.

"Grandma bought two pieces of cloth. When we get home, I’ll measure you and make two sets of clothes for you."

Xiu Xi didn’t seem to hear, still watching Ruan Jiaojiao eat candy. His little hand unconsciously reached out to hold hers, and they walked home together.

"..." Ruan Chi.

Although this Xiu Xi was their family’s benefactor, why did watching him make Ruan Chi feel so uncomfortable?

Ruan Chi felt he should be patient. It was necessary to be polite to the person who saved their lives.

Back at the Ruan Family home, the Ruanlin matriarch took Xiu Xi’s measurements in the main room and then let him go play with Ruan Jiaojiao.

In the hospital.

As soon as Ruan Jiaojiao and the others had left, Liao Zhaoji immediately rushed into the ward, her complexion awful as she said to Ruan Jiandang, "Look now, in our mother’s eyes, there is no place for a son like you. You’re still hospitalized here, with no solution for tomorrow’s medical expenses, yet all she can think about is building a house for your eldest brother, and it’s even a multi-story building!"

"..." Ruan Jiandang had never realized as profoundly as he did today that he could not continue his life with this woman.

It was common knowledge that the Ruanlin matriarch was biased, known by everyone, including Ruan Chi and his brothers. But what could they do about it? Not to mention that since the family divide, the Ruanlin matriarch had always stayed with the eldest son, never asking for a penny in support from her three sons. And even if she had, it was her money; she had the right to favor whoever she wanted.

He really didn’t understand what Liao Zhaoji was unhappy about.

"Liao Zhaoji." He raised his head.

Liao Zhaoji looked at him, sensing something off in his expression.

As expected, in the next moment Ruan Jiandang said, "After being discharged, let’s go through with the divorce. You can live in your parent’s home, and we will no longer be involved with each other."

After uttering the word "divorce," Ruan Jiandang didn’t feel as heavy as he had imagined. On the contrary, he felt a sense of relief.

But to Liao Zhaoji, these words were like a bomb dropping, stunning her so much that she was dazed, unable to react for a moment.

When she did react, she stared at him incredulously, her voice shrill, "What did you say?"

"Divorce," Ruan Jiandang said, his eyes devoid of any attachment. In truth, he should have suggested it when she instigated conflicts with Ruan Jiaojiao and caused her to run away from home.
