Chapter 135: Chapter 135 Comrades, Inside Story Chapter 135: Chapter 135 Comrades, Inside Story Luo Qiao brought her hands together in prayer and said to Yuan Weicheng, “Uncle Wei Cheng, please, your vehicle is pulling it away, it doesn’t require you to carry it, you can do it.”
Yuan Weicheng was amused to laughter by her words; it was like treating him as a porter, “It can’t be too much though, I’m worried the heat will make it spoil before I get it home.”
Luo Qiao said, “It won’t, the train ride is only four days, I’ll pick the less ripe ones, so they’ll be perfect to eat when you get back to the Capital.”
Once Yuan Weicheng had washed the melon and tasted it, he no longer mentioned any inconvenience—it was simply too delicious.
Before long, Luo Qiao had all her dishes ready, and when Lu Yichen came in, he saw Yuan Weicheng sitting in the yard, resulting in both of them freezing in place.
Yuan Weicheng stood up, his eyes reddening, “How come you’re here?”
Lu Yichen really hadn’t expected to encounter Yuan Weicheng here, “Why are you here?”
Both asked at the same time, and Luo Qiao came out just then, “You know each other?”
They both nodded at the same time.
Luo Qiao invited them to sit down and talk, “The dishes are ready; let’s eat and talk.”
Yuan Weicheng said, “Why are you so stubborn? You didn’t even leave a message for your brothers; we’ve all been worried about you.”
Lu Yichen let out a deep sigh and said, “I’m doing quite well now.”
Yuan Weicheng knew he couldn’t push too hard at the moment; Lu Yichen probably couldn’t get past that hurdle in his heart yet. So he said, “Brother, the incident has already happened, life must go on, and we need to look ahead. The person who did this to you didn’t end up with a good fate, did he?
You might not consider others, but you should think about Yiting. She’s been looking for you ever since she learned about your situation. If it weren’t for that letter you had someone forward to her later, she might have had a fight with Luo Jinwen.”
After the meal, Luo Qiao was tidying up the house while Yuan Weicheng drove Lu Yichen to the clinic to deliver food to Stone.
From their earlier conversation, Luo Qiao learned that Lu Yichen’s injury was the result of someone’s malice, and that person had even wanted to kill him. Luckily, Lu Yichen had a strong desire to live and managed to return.
However, his leg had been injured too severely, affecting the nerve; delayed treatment resulted in a disability.
Moreover, it was almost Luo Ziming’s son, Luo Fangyuan, a friend of his father, who nearly took the credit for Lu Yichen’s work. Yet that wasn’t even the most heartbreaking part—Lu Yichen’s father, Lu Xinyi actually wanted his own son to silently endure this injustice.
Fortunately, Lu Yichen was not confused, and his maternal family was powerful. They sent the culprit directly to the military tribunal. Due to this event, Lu Yichen also fell out with his biological father.
Ah, truly every family has its own difficult issues to deal with!
It wasn’t long before Yuan Weicheng came back.
Luo Qiao accompanied him on visits to both the Secretary’s Home and the village head’s home. It turned out there were still some items left in the car—two bottles of liquor and a pack of White Rabbit Creamy Candies for each family.
They didn’t stay for long at the Secretary’s Home; after delivering the gifts and exchanging a few pleasantries, they left.
When they arrived at the village head’s home, because Luo Qiao had mentioned earlier that, apart from Lu Yichen, the Gao Family was the only one that had offered her help, Yuan Weicheng had an idea.
He had already asked Luo Qiao if she wanted to live with him in Beijing, but Luo Qiao had outright refused.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the village head asked, “Where will you stay tonight?”
Yuan Weicheng replied directly, “Tonight I’ll stay with Lu Yichen; he’s my comrade-in-arms.”
The village head breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good. I was going to say, if it really doesn’t work out, you could stay at my place for the night.”
Yuan Weicheng was moved by his words; he understood what the village head meant, “I heard from Luo Qiao that when she came to the village, apart from my comrade-in-arms Lu Yichen, your family was the only one that helped her. On behalf of Luo Qiao’s uncle, I thank you for that.”
