Chapter 474: Chapter 474 Stop Being Modest Chapter 474: Chapter 474 Stop Being Modest The Wu Family’s grandson had a thorough examination at the hospital. The doctor treated his abrasion and then let him go home to recover, even remarking that the person who had set his bone earlier had good technique.
Unexpectedly that evening, the couple from the Wu Family’s Second Wife came over, their hands carrying a bag of white sugar, two cans, and about a dozen eggs. Luo Daoren welcomed them inside, “How’s the child doing?”
The daughter-in-law from the Wu Family’s Second Wife replied, “The doctor said it wasn’t serious. They’ve applied medicine to a few abrasions and told us to go home and rest. We’ll need to go back to check on the leg in a month.”
Luo Daoren nodded, “That’s good to hear. Qiaoqiao learned some from her master, but her specialty is acupuncture. She still hasn’t obtained her medical practice certificate, and she came back this time to take the exam.”
The daughter-in-law from the Wu Family’s Second Wife said with gratitude, “We really can’t thank you enough for today. My eldest sister-in-law also told me about what happened during the day. We want to apologize on behalf of our mother-in-law and hope you won’t hold it against her. We wouldn’t want this to cause any rift between our two families because of her.”
Zhou Guifang gestured for them to take a seat and said, “We’ve been neighbors for so many years, we know what she’s like. Don’t worry; we won’t take it out on your younger generation.”
The Wu Family’s Second Son said, “I know you were able to come over today because of your kind hearts. The doctor said how lucky it was that the bone was set in time; otherwise, the child would have suffered greatly. We are profoundly thankful.”
After finishing his words, he placed the items they brought on the living room table, “This is a small token of our appreciation. It’s not much, but please accept it.” He then looked towards Luo Qiao.
Luo Qiao, seeing the couple were sincere, said, “I accept your thanks, but as for these gifts, let’s not bother. The child had a rough day today; keep these things to help him recover his strength. Also, after today’s scare, someone needs to stay with the child at night.”
Zhou Guifang also chimed in, “Listen to Qiaoqiao. It’s the thought that counts. Now the child needs to heal and can’t lack nutrition. We’re all neighbors here; when something happens, we should lend a hand. The child has been frightened and shouldn’t be left alone, so you two should also head back early.”
The daughter-in-law from the Wu Family’s Second Wife seemed to want to say more, but Luo Qiao interjected, “Auntie, please don’t insist anymore.”
The couple from the Wu Family’s Second Wife felt somewhat embarrassed. Luo Qiao said with a smile, “If you feel too indebted, just help out my grandparents if they need anything later on.”
The couple could only nod with laughter, agreeing wholeheartedly, before they finally left with the items.
The next morning, after having breakfast, Luo Qiao took a ride to her master’s house. As she neared her destination, she found a safe spot to take out the fruits and vegetables she had prepared in advance from her space.
At the front door, she ran into Qiu Yuehua. Luo Qiao smiled lightly, “Auntie Qiu, long time no see.”
Qiu Yuehua looked at Luo Qiao with a smiling face, “Qiaoqiao, when did you return to Capital City?”
Luo Qiao smiled lightly, “I came back the day before yesterday.”
Qiu Yuehua said, “Come on, let’s go inside together. Professor Yang and Professor Feng have been talking about you quite a bit.”
As soon as they entered the courtyard, Qiu Yuehua called out loudly, “Professor Yang, Professor Feng, the person you’ve been missing is back.”
Immediately there was movement inside the house, and Luo Qiao also called out, “Master, Mistress, I’m back.”
Feng Shumin appeared holding a feather duster, a smile on her face, “Qiaoqiao, Yuehua, come inside, quick.”
Luo Qiao joked, “Mistress, why are you holding a feather duster? I haven’t done anything wrong.”
All three laughed together, but Luo Qiao didn’t see her master and asked, “Mistress, where’s my master?”
Feng Shumin replied, “He went out to take care of some things but should be back soon.”
Qiu Yuehua noticed Luo Qiao carrying things into the kitchen, “What’s this, more exotic gifts for your master?”
Luo Qiao laughed, “What exotic gifts? It’s just some food and drink.”
After putting things away in the kitchen, Luo Qiao came out to see her master returning with a woven bag in his left hand and a basket in his right.
Seeing Luo Qiao, he smiled and handed her the basket, “Your mistress will make you a delicious meal for lunch.”
Luo Qiao looked inside the basket at the pork belly, chicken, and fish, feeling warm inside. Thinking of the kindness her master and mistress had shown her, she felt her eyes welling up.
