Chapter 2066: Chapter 2066: Qin Li (4)
The Li Family now has no one left, only a child under ten years old remains, so the village had to step in to help with the funeral arrangements.
The person is currently being transported home, and since it’s summer, the body has been in water for some time. Visually and otherwise, it’s not suitable for Ruan Jiaojiao to see, which is why Ruan Jianguo and the Ruanlin Family insisted on not letting her go out.
Ruan Jiaojiao never expected it to be like this.
Listening to Ruan Jianguo’s explanation, Ruan Jiaojiao stood at the door without moving for a long time. She thought of Li Boxue from noon today, recalling that little boy with particularly beautiful eyes, and asked with some distress, "What about Li Boxue?"
"I don’t know, the child can’t be found now," said Ruan Jianguo, unable to help but grumble, "This child too, hasn’t asked or looked for his grandparents who haven’t returned for so many days."
Ruan Jiaojiao did not respond, and Ruan Jianguo didn’t expect an answer. He was just grumbling, worried that Ruan Jiaojiao might get scared, and couldn’t help saying, "Sweetheart, maybe you, Xiaorou, and your brothers should go back to the city for a couple of days, here..."
"Dad, it’s okay, I just won’t go over there," Ruan Jiaojiao said.
The Ruan Family and the Li Family are somewhat apart, so she felt it was enough not to go in that direction.
"Alright, just be careful yourself, I have to go now; there’s no one left at the Li Family, so neighbors can only help where we can," said Ruan Jianguo, then led a few people out of the courtyard.
Ruan Jiaojiao watched the courtyard door close, went back to the ground-floor hall, and found Yu Rou and Ruan Lei had also come downstairs.
"What happened just now?" Ruan Lei asked.
Ruan Jiaojiao briefly explained, then looked around the house and asked in confusion, "Where are Mom and big brother, and why is brother Xu not here either?"
"They left after you fell asleep; it’s okay, don’t be scared, we’re still here, aren’t we?" Ruan Wei, thinking she was scared, comforted her gently.
Ruan Jiaojiao nodded absentmindedly.
According to Xiahe Village customs, funerals in spring, autumn, and winter generally take three days, but now it’s summer, and since the body had been in water for a few days, it was buried the next morning.
Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t come out the entire day and night and only came out after the funeral was over, seeing Li Boxue, who had become a complete orphan.
At that time, Li Boxue, small and wearing mourning clothes, sat on a little stool, gazing in a certain direction, who knows what he was looking at.
Ruan Jiaojiao didn’t go close, just took a glance from afar and came back.
At lunch, Ruanlin brought a bowl out, returned shaking her head, and said, "That child is so obstinate, he hasn’t eaten anything since the accident till now, even an iron body couldn’t take it."
Ruan Jiaojiao pursed her lips and asked Ruan Jianguo, "Dad, will Li Boxue be sent to an orphanage?"
"Probably," Ruan Jianguo sighed and then turned to Shu Jiao, saying, "Add him to the list of children being sponsored this year, he’s also pitiful."
Shu Jiao thought for a moment and said, "Let me think about this matter."
Shu Jiao thought of Shu Wen.
Shu Wen and Qin Qiong have been married for three or four years now. Besides Shu Wen initially taking birth control, not wanting to have children during her career growth period, in the last year, they haven’t taken any measures, yet no child has come.
The couple had also gone to the hospital for check-ups, and neither had any issues.
But still, they couldn’t conceive a child.
