Chapter 702: Chapter 702 I’m Going Abroad Chapter 702: Chapter 702 I’m Going Abroad Geng Yanqiu walked in, “You know about my situation?”
Luo Qiao nodded, “Give me your hand, and I’ll take your pulse.”
Without making a fuss, Geng Yanqiu placed her arm on the stone table, “I’ve obtained evidence; my grandfather was so angry that he struck my uncle.”
Luo Qiao didn’t want to get involved in the affairs of the Geng Family and just said, “Don’t take such risks with your body anymore. If you go through this a few more times, I’m afraid it will shorten your lifespan.”
“That won’t happen again. After this incident, I believe they wouldn’t dare to lay a finger on me.”
“That’s good. What do you plan to do next?”
“I’ve talked it over with the Jing Family and decided that what happened between Jing Mingrui and me never occurred. I won’t be obsessively fixated on him anymore. I’m going abroad. Thank you, Luo Qiao.”
“When are you leaving?”
“The exact date isn’t set yet. I have to visit the embassy tomorrow. My aunt is overseas and has already applied to a school for me. I won’t continue to waste my days. Farewell, my friend and benefactor.”
Luo Qiao took out a small porcelain bottle from her sling bag, “Take this with you. Consider it my parting gift. Take one a day to get your health in order. Goodbye, and take care!”
After saying that, she turned and left the pavilion. Geng Yanqiu silently said in her heart, “Goodbye, Luo Qiao, my friend.”
When Luo Qiao and the other two returned home, the Luo Family Courtyard was filled with neighbors who had come to help. Seeing Luo Qiao and the others come in, everyone greeted them with smiles and congratulations.
Luo Qiao cheerfully greeted everyone and expressed her gratitude.
This time, the meat, eggs, poultry, and fish were all sent over from Yipin Fruits and Vegetables. Peng Mingdong said there were plenty of vegetable leaves at the produce base. It was a waste to throw them away; previously, the villagers would take them home.
Half a year earlier, a few miles away from Yipin, he had contracted another plot of land where he built chicken coops and pigsties. There was also a large fish pond nearby, which he took over as well. Now, the pond was stocked with fish and was starting to be profitable.
After busying themselves all afternoon and sending off the helpers, they had a simple dinner. Luo Daoren then said, “Everyone should go to bed early tonight. We need to get up early tomorrow.”
Luo Qiao made sure Xiao Ya was settled in before returning to her own room.
Early the next day, there was already activity in the Luo Family Courtyard. Luo Qiao entered her private space to wash up and changed into casual clothes before leaving her room.
First, she went to the woods behind the house for meditation. When she returned from her exercise, neighbors were already coming over to help. Since the main meal at noon was dumplings, the women had come early to prepare the filling.
As everyone arrived, they brought their mini rolling pins and covers, chatting and laughing in the courtyard. Luo Qiao couldn’t help but be infected by their joy, greeting them with a smile. She brought out a tray of sweets from the storage room and handed out a few pieces to each person, making their smiles even brighter.
The first to arrive today were the relatives of Luo Qiao’s sister-in-law. Professor Woo, besides preparing a red envelope for his son-in-law, had also readied one for Luo Qiao, which made her feel somewhat embarrassed.
The Woo Family could be said to have mobilized in full force to congratulate their son-in-law and brother-in-law. Woo Yunping, the sister-in-law’s sister, was visiting her sister’s marital home for the first time, “Yunmei, the school term is about to start, what are your plans?”
Woo Yunmei replied, “Since the month is still young and classes are ongoing, we plan to buy a house near the school. When the baby is older, we can live there.”
Upon hearing their daughter’s words, the Woo Family members listened, and her brother Woo Yunhai looked towards his sister, “Have you discussed this with the family?”
