The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

Chapter 231 Can be of great use

Ru Yue and Uncle Wei looked at each other, both confused by the strange expressions of the two people in front of them.

Everything was normal when they went in just now, but why did they come out now, looking as miserable as if they had lost their parents and were in great pain, as if they had suffered great torture? Could it be that they really encountered a ghost in broad daylight?

The two of them speculated secretly in their hearts, with looks of astonishment on their faces. It was obvious that they had thought of the same thing at the same time.

However, despite being full of suspicion, topics like ghosts are ultimately too absurd to be discussed openly.

Therefore, even though they had doubts, they could only remain silent, and no one dared to ask rashly.

In comparison, An Er was relatively calm and could barely suppress his inner curiosity and anxiety; but Feng Ying could not hold it back any longer. He reached out and tugged at Ru Yue's sleeve anxiously. His eyes, which were originally as bright as stars, almost popped out of their sockets due to excessive squeezing.

"Go ahead and say it. There's no outsider here." With just this one sentence, everyone present understood clearly that Ru Yue was planning to entrust Aji with an important task.

Fengying took a deep breath and stammered, "Miss, there are people inside!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a thunderclap exploding in everyone's heart, and instantly everyone was stunned and stood there, unable to recover for a long time.

Especially Ru Yue, she widened her eyes in disbelief and stared at Fengying, as if wanting to confirm whether she had heard it wrong.

After a long while, An Er was the first to come back to his senses. He coughed lightly and cautiously suggested, "Miss, how about I take you inside to have a look? It's just that the people and things in this manor are not convenient to disclose to outsiders."

"Go back first and talk about it later." Ru Yue's face, which was originally as pale as paper, has now recovered to its original state, like a newly blooming peach blossom, and is so beautiful.

Her eyes were as calm as water. She turned around without any reluctance and got into the carriage lightly.

When the others saw this, they all understood and followed him out of Ziyun Villa.

Aji followed closely, hurried forward, and sat on the shaft of the cart with Ansan.

He was silent as a cicada all the way and didn't dare to utter a word.

After a long while, the car drove into the bustling, noisy and crowded street again.

The cacophony of voices, the bustling cries of vendors, and the various aromas intertwined to create a scene filled with the aroma of fireworks. At this moment, as if waking from a dream, everyone suddenly realized that they were already in the bustling city.

Although it was a hot summer day and everyone's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, for some reason, the sweat was slightly chilling.

At this moment, Ru Yue's soft and gentle voice suddenly came from the car: "Aji, do you have other relatives at home?" This sudden question was like a thunderclap, scaring Aji who was immersed in his thoughts and making him tremble all over.

"Grandpa... Grandpa passed away years ago, and now I'm the only one left at home, all alone and helpless." Aji, who had a bright smile on his face just now, seemed to have lost all his vitality in an instant, and became extremely sad and lonely.

He lowered his head, his eyes slightly red with tears welling up in them.

Hearing this, Ru Yue's heart suddenly clenched, and a wave of sadness surged in her heart. The poor child in front of her made her think of her adopted brother who had a similarly difficult life.

If I hadn't traveled here by accident, I really don't know how miserable Anping and Ruxue would have lived.

After a moment's silence, Ru Yue took a deep breath and slowly asked, "Aji, are you willing to work with me?" Her tone was firm and sincere, without any intention of beating around the bush or testing the waters. She directly expressed her innermost thoughts.

Ah Ji's eyes widened like bells, almost popping out of his head. His face was filled with disbelief, and his heart was filled with turmoil. He had never imagined that this incredibly beautiful lady before him would actually...actually offer to take him in!

For a moment, all kinds of complex emotions surged into his heart, excitement, gratitude, and surprise intertwined together, making his eyes involuntarily turn slightly red, and tears welled up in his eyes.

An San, who was standing aside, knew his girl's thoughts very well. He cast a look at Aji calmly, hinting to this boy who seemed smart but was actually a little silly to react quickly.

Aji was still immersed in extreme shock, but after An San's hint, he suddenly came to his senses as if awakened from a dream. He jumped down from the carriage without hesitation and knelt heavily on the hard ground with a "thump".

Aji's voice trembled slightly, with obvious crying in it: "Thank you for your kindness, young lady. I have no way to repay you. From now on, I will do my best to serve you!" At this moment,

An Er, who was following the carriage, saw this and rushed forward without waiting for Ru Yue to give any orders. He stretched out his hand and picked up Aji easily as if he was picking up a chicken.

The streets were bustling with people coming and going. If Aji continued shouting like that, it would attract too much attention. The girl in their family never liked to be so ostentatious.

Not long after, the group returned safely to the inn where they were staying.

Ru Yue led Aji straight to the guest room where they were staying, while Fengying and An Er followed closely behind her as usual, never leaving her side and guarding her at all times.

After entering the room, Aji seemed a little uneasy. He opened his mouth to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to start.

Just as he was hesitating, Ru Yue smiled and said softly, "Don't be nervous. My brother is about your age. From now on, you can just call me sister."

"Sister!" Aji shouted without any hesitation.

This sister is not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted. Grandpa once taught him that as long as one is honest, he will be rewarded sooner or later. Today, he is fortunate enough to meet such a beautiful and gentle sister who is like a fairy.

When Ru Yue heard Aji's clear and kind call, her heart was instantly touched, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily rose, revealing a bright smile.

This smile was like a flower blooming in spring, so beautiful and charming that Aji was a little dazed.

After a while, Aji seemed to muster up his courage and stammered, "Sister, do you... do you still need any help here?" After saying this, he was so nervous that he kept rubbing the corners of his clothes with his hands, feeling secretly annoyed in his heart.

It is so difficult to find a job these days, not to mention that I have just been taken in by someone. Wouldn’t it seem too ignorant to ask for help if I ask for help?

Ru Yue did not feel impatient because of Aji's hesitation and shyness. On the contrary, she looked at the simple and lovely boy in front of her with interest and asked softly: "Oh? Aren't you alone? Why do you suddenly mention that you have other friends?" There was a hint of doubt in her words.

Aji's face turned red all of a sudden, like a ripe apple. He lowered his head and whispered, "Sister, actually we live in a dilapidated temple, and we have a few good friends there. They are all good people, and they would never do such things as stealing or bullying the weak, really! If... I just said if, if you are still short of people here, you can meet them." At the end, Aji's voice became smaller and smaller, almost inaudible, but his eyes were full of anticipation.

"How many of you have?" Ru Yue asked casually with a calm expression, but in fact her heart was already surging like the vast ocean. An extremely bold idea was gradually taking shape in her mind. Maybe... maybe this time she could really succeed in realizing the dream that had always been out of reach.

After hearing Ru Yue's question, the child was stunned for a moment, and then answered without hesitation: "There are seven of us in total, sister. Because we are still young, we are always bullied by the flat-headed guys. There is no way, we have to live together in this dilapidated temple. If anyone dares to bully us, we will work together to fight them, hehe!" When he said this, the child couldn't help but reveal a shy and innocent smile.

Ru Yue stared quietly at the child in front of her. Although he was dressed in rags and looked pale and thin, his bright and clear eyes sparkled with kindness and perseverance.

In such a difficult and harsh environment, he still maintained a pure and beautiful heart, and did not lose the most basic humanity and moral bottom line due to hunger and cold.

Looking at this strong and brave child, Ru Yue nodded in praise in her heart.

There is no doubt that this is definitely a promising talent. If he is properly trained over time, he will definitely become my right-hand man.

Thinking of this, Ru Yue's mouth corners slightly raised, outlining a barely noticeable smile.
