Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 400 - 348: Aunt Qiu Knew She Had Ulterior Motives: "Tell Me in Detail.
Thinking of this, the General no longer contemplated other matters and first took this group of people to the military camp.
When Ruan Mian returned to Jinsha Village, the villagers had already gradually come back.
After everyone had almost gathered, she sorted the resources collected from the space and arranged them neatly in the forest, then found Yun Xiu and the others to gather each household to claim their share.
Everyone had been through hardships together, and no one had any stray thoughts.
They were only focused on taking their own belongings home, already grateful beyond words to Ruan Mian and the others.
Yun Xiu was also surprised that these bandits were actually willing to give back the goods.
Surely, it must have something to do with Sister Mianmian.
He looked at the corners of Ruan Mian’s lips lifting and sincerely spoke up.
"Sister Mianmian, you’re amazing."
Ruan Mian glanced over and smiled nonchalantly, "What’s amazing about me? These were returned by the bandits themselves."
"Do you really think I believe that?"
Yun Xiu stepped forward, speaking earnestly.
"Although I don’t know what method you used, Sister Mianmian, I believe it was definitely you who got these things back."
"It’s impossible for bandits to return stolen goods without reason."
"Sister Mianmian, in your eyes, am I... still a child?"
Ruan Mian was taken aback and laughed, "I didn’t mean that, Ashu, in my eyes, you’re just like my younger brother. No matter how old you get, you’ll always be a child."
"Just like Sister, even if she is going to be a mother, I still see her as my sister."
These words left Yun Xiu momentarily at a loss for how to respond.
Happy? Perhaps not entirely. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
What he wanted was not to be the eternal younger brother, forever unable to grow up.
He worked hard on his skills, striving to grow taller, and now he could stand on his own as a man.
He hoped Sister Mianmian could see this. But then, unhappy? He was still happy.
Because he would always be Sister Mianmian’s family, and that bond couldn’t be replaced by anyone.
Seeing his complex emotions, Ruan Mian patted his shoulder, comforting him.
"Don’t think too much about it. First, distribute the goods. Have you informed Aunt yet?"
Yun Xiu immediately nodded, "She’s already on her way back, no need to worry."
Seeing this, Ruan Mian nodded, and noticing Yun Xiu’s eyes sparkling at her, she vaguely sensed something.
But some things she was unwilling to dwell on too much, after all, at Yun Xiu’s age, certain thoughts were normal, and she could understand that.
However, as an elder, what she needed to do was guide him, not indulge him.
Thinking of this, Ruan Mian opened her mouth and said, "Ashu, do you still remember how I rescued you from the jaws of the beast?"
Yun Xiu nodded without hesitation; he remembered these things clearer than anyone else.
"Of course, if it weren’t for Sister Mianmian’s saving me at the risk of her life, I wouldn’t have made it out of the Beast Fighting Arena. And you also sent me to the adults, where I learned many skills."
Mentioning Xie Huai’an, Yun Xiu’s eyes were full of regret: "I had promised him that I would learn well and assist him, becoming his reliable helper. But who knew..."
His sorrowful expression was indeed not an act.
Ruan Mian knew he regarded Xie Huai’an as a real brother, a real mentor.
But considering that Ah Huai has not yet completed his grand endeavor, Ruan Mian suppressed her emotions and didn’t tell him about Ah Huai.
She just patted his shoulder sincerely and said, "It’s all in the past, no need to hold onto it. Look, I’ve figured it out. If Ah Huai knew, he certainly wouldn’t want us to be sad."
"We’ve managed to come this far. Even with a flood ahead, it hasn’t stopped us. Once the epidemic is completely over, we’ll continue as before."
These words encouraged Yun Xiu, who looked at Ruan Mian with clear eyes, about to speak.
After a while, he followed behind Ruan Mian and whispered, "Sister Mianmian, things here will surely become better as you wish."
Later, Ruan Mian found people to go to the place where Zhang Hexsong hid the disaster relief grain and took all the public goods he had hoarded back to the residence.
Just as she was about to question him thoroughly, Huo Zong sent someone to tell her that Zhang Hexsong was seriously injured, the place where Zhang Rong’er had bitten him did not receive timely treatment, and he had died in prison.
Although unexpected, it was his own doing, and Ruan Mian couldn’t be bothered to care too much.
Now that the problem with the bandits had been resolved, they also began to gradually get back on track.
The weather had become increasingly nice, probably due to the clear and crisp autumn. Previously flood-affected soil had become softer and inadvertently turned into fertile land suitable for planting crops.
