Chapter 669: Chapter 669: You Deserve It for Bringing Trouble on Yourself Chapter 669: Chapter 669: You Deserve It for Bringing Trouble on Yourself Ning Hongda turned around with disappointment and helplessness, “Xueling, how old are you? Can’t you grow up a bit? All these years, have you only aged without gaining any sense at all? Can’t you just act like a normal person?
If you keep acting out, who knows when you’ll even lose your job. I’d like to see what you’d do then. Do you think Wei Zixiong can support you? Or are you counting on your stepchildren?
If you dare to go knocking on Xuyan’s door, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Your former mother-in-law could tear you apart with her bare hands. Try it if you don’t believe me. Just try to be a decent person, okay?”
“Big Brother, how can you talk to me like that?”

At the Wei Family house, Wei Hongyan looked at Wei Zixiong, who was sitting in the yard smoking, “Dad, aren’t you going to bring that woman back?”
Wei Zixiong heard his daughter’s words, didn’t even lift his head, “It’s my affair, not yours to worry about. Mind your own business.”
Wei Hongyan really couldn’t stand it these few days, as she was the one managing all the household chores, “Dad, I was wrong about before, but can’t we turn over a new leaf with this?”
Wei Honglin, who had just returned from outside, spoke up, “You sure have a nice way of putting it. Imagine turning the page just like that, wouldn’t that just please you to death?”
Wei Hongyan, somewhat angered by her second brother’s words, retorted, “I’ve already apologized. What more do you want?”
Wei Honglin scoffed, “If apologies were enough, what would we need the police for? Just apologize for a mistake and everything is fine?”
He walked into the house and then back out, “I think you’re just looking for someone to share the housework. You made your bed, now lie in it.”
Fuming, Wei Hongyan stamped her foot, turned, and stormed back into the kitchen, followed by a series of crashing sounds.
Wei Zixiong shouted angrily, “If you keep smashing and banging things, just get the hell out!”
The next morning, Luo Qiao went to Xu Yuqing’s to collect a parcel slip and personally went to the post office to retrieve the package.
After opening it at home, she found two large boxes of dried cranberries, a box of American ginseng slices, and a big bag of coffee powder. Luo Qiao truly didn’t expect Tiong Qingfeng to be so courteous.
Not keeping it for herself, Luo Qiao placed the items in the living room cupboard, “Grandma, you keep these ginseng slices. You can steep them in water to drink later; they help boost immunity.”
Zhou Guifang asked, “Where did these come from?”
Luo Qiao pointed to the items on the cupboard, “A friend from America sent them.”
After hearing this, Zhou Guifang took a glance at the items on the cupboard, “All these things came from America? How much must they have cost? And you just accepted them?”
Luo Qiao suddenly laughed, “Grandma, you’re getting cuter by the day. If I didn’t accept them, did you want me to send them back? Don’t worry, when I come across something good, I’ll send some to him too, to return the favor.”
Zhou Guifang nodded, “That’s the way to do it. I will keep them for your sister-in-law, they will come in handy when she gives birth.”
Luo Qiao said, “I still have some ginseng slices. If sister-in-law needs it, it’s better to use those to replenish her vital energy. This American ginseng is cooling in nature and not suitable for sister-in-law.”
Zhou Guifang agreed, “There’s so much to consider, then let’s forget it, to avoid causing more trouble.”
Luo Qiao thought about Cousin Luo Jialin, “Grandma, I was thinking of visiting Sister Jialin tomorrow. Is she still working?”
Zhou Guifang paused for a moment, “I’ll go with you. She comes home for lunch every day. We’ll have lunch outside before going to her place, so as not to trouble her.”
Luo Qiao looked at her grandmother, “Grandma, has their apartment not been allocated yet?”
“Last time I heard your Sister Jialin say it was supposed to be their turn, but someone pushed ahead of them. They said it would definitely be their turn in the next batch. What can they do, just wait.”
“I suggested giving a heads-up in advance last time, but my brother-in-law said it was a sure thing. Turns out the sure thing wasn’t so solid.”
“It’s about time to check on her. I wonder if your great-aunt has been to see her since.”
“Should I let great-aunt know?”
“Sure, give her a call in a bit. Ask if she’s visited before and whether she wants to come with us tomorrow.”
“Okay, I’ll call right now.”
As they were talking, Luo Xuyuan came home with a smile on his face, and Luo Qiao said, “Second Brother, what’s the good news? Share it so we can all be happy together.”
