"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 same year, meaning they would also be enrolling when she started school this September, so they were meant to grow up together from childhood.
