Chapter 103: Chapter 103 The Power of a Letter Chapter 103: Chapter 103 The Power of a Letter Under the united efforts of the Yuan Family, Old Master Yuan was dissuaded from making the trip himself, but he ordered his eldest son not to help that despicable Luo Family anymore.
As a result, just because of a letter from Luo Qiao, a phone call from Yuan Weizhou, the eldest son of the Yuan Family, put the Luo Family in dire straits.
The Yang Family also received a letter from Luo Qiao at the same time. Grandma Yang said, “The letter has finally come, let’s see what it says?”
The expressions of Old Couple Yang darkened as they read the letter. Grandma Yang, Feng Shumin, with tears in her eyes, said, “Old man, why don’t we have Luo Qiao come over? After all, she is our former student.”
Grandpa Yang, Yang Jiancheng, said, “We would have no issue with it, but I fear those two unfilial sons of hers won’t let her live in peace. Let’s hold off on this matter and first send some things over to the child.
That Luo Family is really shameless, I didn’t expect such a revelation. Oh yes, those financial notes at home—ask next door to see if they can be exchanged for military coupons, which would be more convenient for her use.”
Feng Shumin said, “That child is already having a hard time, yet she still sent us quite a lot of red dates, to help us with our health. I really don’t know what to say.”
Yang Jiancheng smiled, “We should appreciate the child’s kindness and eat what she sends, we can’t waste her good intentions.”
Feng Shumin thought for a moment, “Should we contact Uncle Yuan tomorrow? I’m afraid he has definitely received a letter from Luo Qiao too. We should discuss it and see what he thinks.”
Yang Jiancheng nodded, “Okay, it’s too late today. I’ll give him a call first thing tomorrow morning.”
Feng Shumin thought of the people in the Luo Family, “Old Yang, aren’t there two students working for the government over in Ji City? Call them tomorrow and see if they can put some pressure on the Luo Family.”
The Luo Family’s return to the city had been smooth at first, with several of the older children finding work. Although they weren’t in official positions, they were luckier than many others who had returned to the city.
They found suitable jobs not long after their return to the city, eliciting envy from many neighbors. But recently, their faces had all soured, and it wasn’t just the children who were getting reprimanded in their temp jobs.
Even the adults of the Luo Family who had regained employment weren’t faring well, with brothers Luo Tiancheng and Luo Tianming from the first and second branches respectively being transferred from their original positions, leaving their whole family confused and without a clue.
Luo Qiao was unaware that the Yuan Family and Yang Family in Capital City had both taken action to teach the Luo Family a lesson on her behalf.
In Qingshan Village, the atmosphere at the Zhao Family home was not good. After Luo Bin returned, he told the Zhao couple about his hardships in the city, how much he missed them, and that he would not neglect them in the future.
Touched to tears, Gao Suhua and Zhao Pulin listened as he eventually said, “Mom, could you lend me some money? I don’t want to go to school, I just want to find a job. Only then will I be capable of looking after you both in the future.
A few days ago, I found an apprenticeship through a connection, but it requires some money as a kind gesture. I’m worried that if the Luo Family were to provide the funds, they might interfere when I try to care for you later on.
So, coming back, I thought if you could help provide the money, then even if they have something to say in the future, we would have an argument in our favor, and I wouldn’t be put in a difficult situation between both sides.”
Just listen to how clever he must be; despite barely attending school, he can speak such persuasive words. It seems Luo Bin has really mixed with society outside, as his talk is now very slick.
