Chapter 470: Chapter 470 We Can’t Let Them Extort Us Chapter 470: Chapter 470 We Can’t Let Them Extort Us When Luo Qiao returned, Luo Haotian had just finished his meal.
Seeing his daughter enter, he asked, “How did it go, what did your master say?”
Luo Qiao said with a smile, “The exam is on the third, my master has already helped me get the admission ticket, I’ll go pick it up the day after tomorrow.”
Luo Haotian, thinking about the exam on the third, asked, “Qiaoqiao, do you need to prepare anything in advance?”
Luo Qiao said with a smile, “No need, I just have to bring a set of Silver Needles just in case, don’t worry about me, I know what I’m doing.”
Luo Siyuan interrupted, “Dad, did Qiao Meng stay or was she sent away?”
Luo Haotian said, “People from the family quarters said Deputy Director Qiao took Qiao Meng away, I suppose he sent her back to the glass factory. He’s not really foolish, just cares about face usually.”
Luo Siyuan said, “It’s good that she was sent away, acting like a spoiled young lady all the time, not even as good as Qiao Yu, who is several years younger than her. She can’t read other people’s faces and still feels particularly good about herself every day. It’s really beyond me how her brain works.”
Luo Haotian glanced at his younger son, “You say less.”
Luo Xuyuan and Luo Qiao had already gone into the inner room, where Luo Xuyuan pointed out the things he hadn’t understood during this time, and Luo Qiao explained each of them until he got them all.
It must be said, Second Brother Luo Xuyuan is truly intelligent, a real genius and top student. He gets it with just a hint, which is indeed enviable.
The next morning, Luo Haotian and Luo Siyuan had breakfast early and took the bus to work. Luo Siyuan also took two financial books with him, which Luo Qiao had specially chosen for him to see if he had any talent in that area.
You can’t go wrong learning more things while you’re young. She had probed her fourth brother’s thoughts before; he had no intention of continuing his education, and the municipal water plant was doing okay for now, but who could say about the future.
After sending away Big Brother Luo Xuyan, Luo Qiao stayed at home to review English with Second Brother Luo Xuyuan, with college entrance exams in two months. Close to noon, just as Luo Qiao and her brother had put their textbooks away and were about to help their grandmother, they heard someone running outside, shouting without even entering the yard, “Auntie Luo, Auntie Luo, are you there?”
Zhou Guifang hurried out of the kitchen, “What’s wrong?”
The person seeing Zhou Guifang come out of the kitchen: “Auntie Luo, is your granddaughter here? Old Wu’s grandson just fell from a tree in front, looks like he took a bad fall. Can you let your granddaughter take a look?”
Luo Qiao, coming out just in time to hear this, and Zhou Guifang, upon hearing it was the Wu Family, didn’t plan to let her granddaughter go. That old wife of the Wu’s is not easy to deal with, and the Wu’s hadn’t come asking themselves. If something went wrong, they might accuse Qiaoqiao.
She spoke up, “Zhang Family���s daughter-in-law, my Qiaoqiao is only good at acupuncture, she’s not skilled in other areas. Moreover, the Wu Family didn’t come to find us, you did, and we’re all neighbors, it would look bad if we don’t go.
Our Qiaoqiao can go over to help look, but we can’t guarantee a cure, and if anything happens to the child, we can’t be blamed for it. Let’s make that clear first.”
The Zhang Family’s daughter-in-law’s expression turned sour when she heard this. She had been too anxious just now, forgetting the Wu matriarch’s character. If she caused trouble for the Luo Family, she didn’t know how her mother-in-law would deal with her.
Luo Qiao said, “Then I’ll go take a look. If I can handle it, I’ll help with the treatment. If not, we should rush to the hospital to avoid any delay.”
If someone had come asking for help, not going would likely lead to gossip about her grandparents from the neighbors in the future.
Zhou Guifang, not at ease, removed her apron and followed outside, she didn’t trust Mrs. Wu who was known in the neighborhood for her quarrelsome nature.
When Luo Qiao arrived, the child was howling, “It’s killing me, Granny, it’s killing me. Ouch, has the cart arrived yet?”
Someone nearby comforted, “It’s coming soon, right away, they’re pushing it over.”
The Zhang Family’s daughter-in-law now felt somewhat embarrassed to be making arrangements. Sun Ming looked up and saw Luo Qiao, “Qiaoqiao is here, can you help take a look at Wu Bing’s injury?”
Zhou Guifang quickly said, “The Zhang Family’s daughter-in-law ran to our house to ask Qiaoqiao to have a look. What do you say, Wu Family?”
