She couldn’t bear for anything to happen to anyone from the Ruan Family!
They were all her family, whom she was too attached to let go.
If they all died, she wouldn’t be able to survive either.
"Okay, brother won’t do this anymore." Faced with the rebuke from the Ruanlin Family, he could remain silent as if he hadn’t heard anything, but as soon as Ruan Jiaojiao expressed fear, he was utterly defeated. He nodded with tears in his eyes, not wanting them to see his tears, so he lowered his head. Yet, the tears kept streaming down.
The Ruanlin Family extended her hand to embrace him as well.
Feeling the consolation from the Ruanlin Family, Ruan Chi completely broke down and started to cry.
This was the first time.
After Liao Zhaoji divorced, he unreservedly laid bare all his emotions in front of others.
He cried and shouted, "I hate her, I really hate her, why does she have to be my mom, why!"
"Granny, I don’t want her, I don’t want her to be my mom, she’s so bad, she doesn’t love us at all!"
"Granny..." His voice trailed off, leaving only the sound of sobbing.
The Ruanlin Family patted his back, remaining silent throughout because on the matter of Liao Zhaoji, despite her disgust, she never spoke ill of her in front of the children.
Even though she felt like tearing that woman apart herself.
Only, she hadn’t expected this child to have bottled up so much inside. It was a dereliction of duty on her part as a grandmother not to have noticed.
On the other hand, as soon as Dr. Lu heard that something had happened to the Ruan Family, he immediately brought his medicine box and hurried over.
On the way, he inquired about the situation.
Ruan Jie, being older than Little Fatty, naturally had more concerns. As he pondered whether to speak or not, Little Fatty couldn’t hold back and blurted out the entire harrowing incident that had just occurred.
Upon hearing this, Dr. Lu’s brows furrowed tightly.
He had gone to the city for study last year and knew that people nowadays are prone to not only physical illnesses but also psychological issues. And something about Ruan Chi seemed off, didn’t it?
He arrived at the Ruan Family home in silence; the four brothers were no longer in the main hall, and it was unclear where they had gone.
The Ruanlin Family brought Ruan Chi out.
Dr. Lu examined Ruan Chi’s wound, his brow furrowed from beginning to end. As he disinfected it, he observed Ruan Chi’s expression.
After disinfecting, he applied ointment.
Ruan Chi’s wound was quites deep and would probably not heal in a short amount of time.
Moreover, it was summer now, and wounds are prone to inflammation. He helplessly said to the Ruanlin Family, "Aunty, you’ll need to take great care of his wound, make sure it doesn’t get inflamed."
"Okay." The Ruanlin Family nodded and, seeing Dr. Lu gesturing to her, turned to instruct the older ones, "Granny is going to get money, you all watch him carefully."
Ruan Jun and the others nodded.
Ruan Qun even considerately fanned Ruan Chi.
Only then did the Ruanlin Family and Dr. Lu go into the inner room.
"Aunty, I don’t mean to be nosy, but your Chizi seems quite unwell. I suspect he might have some psychological issues. Can you tell me in detail what he was like at the time?"
"Psychological issues? What kind of issues? Are they serious?" Although the Ruanlin Family had some education and could read, write, and do arithmetic, she knew nothing about medicine, especially a condition which she hadn’t even heard of before.
"It can be serious or trivial, like today, if it hadn’t been handled properly, that might have been a life lost."
On hearing this, the Ruanlin Family immediately recounted in full detail the events that occurred today.
