Chapter 744: Chapter 744 Where Do I Repay You This Money Chapter 744: Chapter 744 Where Do I Repay You This Money Luo Qiao looked at the average-looking man, thinking the world is indeed full of all sorts, this man is simply scum.
After the details of the incident were clarified, the Public Security Bureau dispatched three officers to accompany the complainant to the countryside, and the city bureau had also notified the local police station in advance to prepare for their arrival, requesting that someone be sent to investigate the situation beforehand.
As Luo Qiao watched the man leave, she thought to herself that he might be a scheming man, and it’s very possible that this whole act wasn’t even thought up by relatives in the countryside, but staged by him.
Back in the office, Luo Qiao said, “Go on with your work, I’m leaving. I have to visit my master, I haven’t seen my mistress in a while.”
Just then someone came looking for Lu Yichen with some business, so Luo Qiao packed up her lunchbox and left.
After walking for a while, she found a secluded spot to throw everything she was carrying into her space, then she headed towards the bus stop not far away.
The bus arrived, and Luo Qiao boarded through the middle door, bought a ticket and moved towards the back, seeing no empty seats and found a spot to stand and steady herself.
Just as the doors were about to close, a middle-aged man boarded the bus. As soon as the doors closed and the bus left the station, the ticket seller shouted, “Comrades who haven’t bought a ticket, please buy one now.”
As Luo Qiao was looking at the scenery outside the window, she heard the ticket seller at the middle door saying, “Comrade, it’s only right to buy a ticket when you take the bus. If everyone were like you, how could we do our jobs?”
“Comrade, I’m really sorry. I was in such a hurry when I left that I changed clothes and forgot to take my wallet. Please, make an exception for me.”
“If I made an exception for every comrade, how would I be able to do my job?”
“Then, what if we do this? You take down the name of my workplace, and I’ll send over the fare as soon as I’m done with my urgent tasks.”
“How do I know whether what you’re saying is true or false?”
The middle-aged man didn’t know what to do for a moment. His workplace had an emergency, and he needed to get there by a certain time, so he started to sweat with anxiety.
Luo Qiao, seeing his clothes were not new but neat, did not look like a scammer, stepped forward and said, “Comrade, where do you need to go? I’ll cover your fare for now.”
People around the middle door looked at Luo Qiao as if she was the fool, but the middle-aged man, hearing her offer, was so grateful he didn’t know what to say other than repeatedly thanking her, “Thank you, thank you.”
He was meant to be off work today, but received a call asking him to return to his workplace immediately due to an urgent matter. He had forgotten that he’d taken his wallet out of his pocket when he did laundry the day before. His wife had ironed his clothes and hung them up, and it was only after boarding the bus that he realized he had forgotten his wallet.
After Luo Qiao paid his fare, the middle-aged man asked, “Where can I return the money to you?”
Luo Qiao smiled and said, “No need, if you encounter someone who needs help next time, just give them a hand.”
At this, those who had been mocking Luo Qiao now hung their heads, feeling a burning shame.
When she reached her destination, Luo Qiao got off the bus and looked back at the receding vehicle, not dwelling much on the incident.
After crossing the street, she found a secluded spot to retrieve a basket from her space, and placed a large piece of lamb and beef inside it, covering them with a white cotton cloth, and carried it towards her master’s home.
There was a chess game set up at the entrance of her master’s house, attracting quite a crowd. Someone looking up saw Luo Qiao, “Isn’t that Professor Yang’s little apprentice?”
Following his gaze, the crowd saw Luo Qiao approaching with the basket and someone commented, “It surely is Luo Qiao.”
Then someone yelled into the yard, “Professor Yang, your little apprentice is back!”
Those familiar with Luo Qiao directly addressed her, “Luo Qiao is back, have you brought something nice for your master and mistress?”
Luo Qiao replied with a smile, “I’ve brought some food. Are my master and mistress at home?”
“Yes, yes, they are in the yard, busy with the plants. They say it might freeze in the next few days and are preparing protection.”
Luo Qiao nodded to the chatting auntie and made her way into the yard, followed by several other women.
As she entered the yard, she saw her master and mistress, who had just stood up, “Master, mistress, aren’t you starting the frost protection a bit early?”
