Chapter 35: Chapter 35 Little Villain (3)_1 Chapter 35: Chapter 35 Little Villain (3)_1 “Xiaoxi from next door must be almost eight, too, right? At this age, other kids are in second grade while he hasn’t even started his education,” Ruan Jianguo said.
“Exactly. Not just him, Xiu Jianhong’s eldest son is also eight or nine, and he hasn’t gone to school either. These people, I tell you, are just rotten to the core, not afraid at all that they’ll be struck by lightning for this,” the Ruanlin Family matriarch said.
Ruan Jiaojiao perked up her ears when she heard this because she knew that this Xiu Jianhong was the adoptive father of the male lead Xiu Xun in the original novel, and he was blood brothers with Xiu Xi’s father Xiu Jianlin.
Xiu Xi and Xiu Xun are cousins.
However, as she recalled, in the original story, the original character, Xiu Xun, Xiu Xi, and Wa Yiting were supposed to start school in the sa year, aning they would also be enrolling when she started school this September, so they were ant to grow up together from childhood.
Xiu Xi wasn’t a very noticeable character, often lurking in the background. Only after the female lead gave him a buckwheat cake did he quietly start paying attention to her.
Xiu Xun made a na for himself by ranking first in the whole city when progressing from elentary to junior high, catching the eye of a leader who had so distant family ties to the Xiu Family, which led to him being reclaid by his biological family.
During those six years, the relationship between Xiu Xun and Wa Yiting wasn’t particularly outstanding, at least not from the original character’s perspective. As for what happened behind the scenes and whether their relationship was special, that remained unknown.
Speaking of which, one can’t help but ntion another male character in the book, Xiu Cheng.
He is Xiu Xi’s half-brother from the sa father. This brother has always loved competing with Xiu Xi. Sohow he ca to know that Xiu Xi might have feelings for the female lead Wa Yiting. Later, with the intent to take her for himself, he approached Wa Yiting, not expecting to be attracted by the strong and optimistic female lead. He ended up falling for her too, perfectly illustrating the saying ‘three brothers vying for one woman’ and causing plenty of dramatic conflicts. It was the epito of a Mary Sue novel.
Thinking about this, Ruan Jiaojiao shuddered and felt her hair stand on end.
The female lead was way too powerful. She wouldn’t join the fray to beco a supporting female character. She would happily be her own rich and beautiful self and enjoy eating and drinking well in the future.
The two days of rest went by quickly.
The three boys attending junior high left for school with great reluctance.
Ruan Jiaojiao had been idle at ho for two days, and the wound on her leg had completely healed. That afternoon, she took on the task of fetching Ruan Jianguo from the fields for lunch.
Little did she expect, she’d run into Wa Yiting on the way there; a narrow path might be fated for enemies. Wa Yiting hadn’t sought out Ruan Jiaojiao these days and had the attitude of never interacting with her again in her lifeti.
Ruan Jiaojiao felt that this saved her a lot of trouble and was happy to see things develop this way. However, she didn’t expect to run into her on this narrow farmland path.
Wa Yiting was out collecting pigweed. She was nearly eight years old, and even her uncle’s six-year-old son was planning to go to school this year, while she was still wandering in the countryside, with endless chores every day. Taking advantage of a mont when her uncle and aunt were discussing sending her cousin to school, she mustered the courage to ask if she could go to school too. But she didn’t get approval and even suffered a beating from her aunt, which left her eyes swollen.
With her head down, she furiously picked the pigweed, full of resentnt. She wished she could fling the sickle at her aunt. She never expected to run into Ruan Jiaojiao at that mont.
Ruan Jiaojiao was dressed in a new outfit Du Qing had rushed to make for her in the past two days. Although the red was very bright, it didn’t look vulgar on her at all. Instead, it made her whole appearance seem fair and delicate, stunningly beautiful.
