Chapter 762: Chapter 762 Children Are Debts Chapter 762: Chapter 762 Children Are Debts After listening to the words of the great-aunt, Luo Qiao also felt reassured about her cousin’s situation. After all, passing the mother-in-law’s test is always a part of getting married to Brother Jiaming.
They had dinner there, and then Luo Qiao left with Lu Yichen.
While driving, Lu Yichen said, “Qiaoqiao, my comrade’s wife is getting discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow. Do you have time tomorrow to go there with me?”
Luo Qiao chuckled, “Am I going to meet the girl who pretended to be your girlfriend?”
Lu Yichen said somewhat helplessly, “I’m not really sure if you’ll see her, but she happened to be out buying things the last time I went.”
Luo Qiao looked at Lu Yichen, “Are you a bit disappointed?”
Lu Yichen laughed, “Don’t wrong me now.”
Luo Qiao gazed out of the window, “The wind is picking up; it’s getting colder by the day. By the way, did you use the moisturizing cream I gave you last time?”
Lu Yichen immediately smiled, “I did, I did. How could I not listen to you?”
“What time shall we go to the hospital tomorrow? I’ll prepare some things.”
“Don’t worry about the things; I’ll take care of it.”
“I’ve got some strawberries in my backyard greenhouse. I’ll bring some for them. Although that girl from his family isn’t great, considering it’s for the sake of your comrade, I won’t hold it against her.”
“That’s my Qiaoqiao, always so generous.”

The Lu Family, Cui Yueyue took advantage of her day off to return to the compound, “Mom, has my second brother’s fiancée visited our home yet?”
On hearing her daughter’s question, Geng Mingli stopped what she was doing, “No.”
“That’s really disrespectful. After all, you’re her future mother-in-law. When they got engaged, dad didn’t allow us to go over, oh, claiming it was the Gu family’s wish. They’ve been engaged for a while now, and she hasn’t even come to visit you. That’s too much.”
Though Geng Mingli was also displeased, upon hearing her daughter speak this way, she still admonished, “Don’t talk like that in the future and I told you not to come back here without a reason.”
After finishing her apple, Cui Yueyue said, “Mom, dad won’t come back during the day anyway, can’t I come see you?”
Geng Mingli looked at her daughter and asked with annoyance, “Is there any certainty about you and Fang Yuan?”
Cui Yueyue felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this, “He said I’m still young and not of the legal age yet, suggesting that we wait until I’m twenty to discuss it further.”
Anxious, Geng Mingli said, “Yueryuer, even if you’re too young to get married right now, you should still make it official. If it stays ambiguous like this, it won’t be good for your reputation.”
Cui Yueyue irritatedly replied, “Mom, can you not bring this up every time?”
Geng Mingli tossed her cloth aside, “Yueryuer, you’re a girl, and dragging this matter isn’t good for you.”
“Fine, fine, I got it. I’ll ask him about it later.”
“Take this matter seriously. If he’s half-hearted about you, I think it’s better to break it off early. I don’t want you to get hurt.”
“Mom, don’t say that again. You know I have a thing for Fang Yuan.”
“You might be into him, but what about him? I’ve always felt that his heart isn’t with you. Don’t think I’m nagging; this is a matter of a lifetime.”
“I know, I know. He’s not like that. He just isn’t very talkative.”
Geng Mingli saw her daughter still wasn’t heeding her advice and could only shake her head helplessly, thinking about how children are always one’s deepest concerns.
“Is there still no news from your sister-in-law?”
“No, if there were, they would have told you already. By the way, mom, can’t you speak to dad and let us move back in? The apartment is okay, but having to use the public toilet is really inconvenient.”
“Don’t bring that up again. Don’t make things difficult for me. If you weren’t so hopeless, do you think I’d have let you live outside?”
“It’s been so long. Hasn’t dad calmed down yet?”
“After your brother pays the rent each month, there’s not much left. I haven’t had a decent meal with meat for days.”
“If it weren’t for you, your brother wouldn’t be in this situation. You’re earning a wage yourself, can’t you buy your own food?”
“Mom, are you still our mother or not? Now, it seems like you really want to wash your hands of us.”
