She looked at the crowd still babbling at her doorstep and said irritably, “What, you want to spend the night at my door? Do you want me to fetch you blankets?”

The people hurriedly waved their hands in embarrassment and headed back to their homes.

The commotion at the doorstep brought everyone from the Ruan Family out, including Ruan Jiandang, except for Liao Zhaoji who stood at her door with a smirk, coldly laughing to herself, not even hiding what she was mocking.

As Ruanlin Family turned around, she caught Liao Zhaoji’s smirk before it could fade, prompting Liao Zhaoji to hastily shut her door in embarrassment.

“Tsk!” Ruanlin Family spit toward her door in disgust and turned to Ruan Jiandang, “Second brother, your wife is really getting too big for her britches.”

Ruan Jiandang’s face darkened, having seen Liao Zhaoji’s expression moments earlier.

Usually, he didn’t intervene in the squabbles between his mother and wife, thinking that a little friction in a family was normal. But now that Liao Zhaoji was outwardly unsupportive of the Ruan Family, hoping for their misfortune, it was a different matter entirely.

In fact, he didn’t understand how his wife had changed so suddenly.

He remembered when they met, her circumstances in her maiden home were not good, used by her family like cattle, yet she was diligent and ambitious, perceptive and reasonable. How had she changed so drastically?

His mood darkened even further as he thought of his niece’s recent illness, and he returned to his room with a grim expression.

When Ruanlin Family was about to close the main house door to go to sleep, she heard noise coming from the neighboring room. She didn’t pay it any mind, deeming it was about time someone put her second son’s wife in her place, lest she become completely lawless.

When Ruanlin Family returned to the inner room, Ruan Jiaojiao was already dozing off. Ever since her mother went north to look for relatives and take the college entrance exam, Ruan Jiaojiao had been sleeping with Ruanlin Family.

Ruanlin Family tucked her in and looked at her soft, tender appearance, which inevitably reminded her of Wa Yiting, igniting a fire in her heart.

“Jiaojiao, as long as I’m here, I won’t let anyone bully you!” she whispered, kissing her soft, round face.

“Grandma…” Ruan Jiaojiao looked at her through drowsy eyes, feeling an indescribable closeness to Ruanlin Family. This grandmother was the first person she saw upon opening her eyes, perhaps that’s why she felt such a fledgling bond.

Ruanlin Family was just over fifty years old, but years of labor had aged her appearance to at least sixty. Unlike other country grandmothers of her age, she was not sloppy; she was very clean, always carrying a faint scent of soap.

Soap from that era wasn’t fragrant with various scents, it was the simplest smell of lye, but Ruan Jiaojiao found it soothing. As long as she was in her grandmother’s arms, she could always sleep well.

Now, cradled and comforted by Ruanlin Family, she quickly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Two days later, it was Friday.

The wound on Ruan Jiaojiao’s leg was gradually fading, and Ruanlin Family finally allowed her to get back on her feet.

Ruan Jiaojiao’s three brothers, who studied in town, also returned home in the evening, accompanied by the couples from the third and fourth branches of the family.

The third branch often lived in town; their eldest son, Ruan Bo, was in the eighth grade, while their youngest son, Ruan Lei, was Little Fatty, always eating with the main branch and providing just a bit of grain as a gesture every year.

They brought back two pieces of cloth on their return from town this time, as it was almost Little Fatty’s birthday.

One piece was green, the other red.

The green was for making clothes for Ruan Bo and Ruan Lei, and the red was for Ruan Jiaojiao, as Ruanlin Family had specifically requested last time.
