Chapter 763: Chapter 763: People Should Be Grateful and Never Forget Their Roots Chapter 763: Chapter 763: People Should Be Grateful and Never Forget Their Roots “You don’t have to consider moving back in, I won’t speak for you, and even if I did, your dad wouldn’t agree.”
“So, it’s because I’m not his biological child? After calling him dad for so many years, he’s still so heartless. If it had been Lu Yiting, would he have driven her away?”
“Shut up! Are you out of your mind to say such things?”
“Everyone in this courtyard is watching. Has your dad not provided for your education or arranged a job for you? If outsiders heard what you’re saying, they’d probably call you an ingrate.”
“Mom, why do you always side with him? What do you think of me and my brother?”
“Yueryuer, a person should be grateful and not forget their roots. Have you forgotten the days when we starved?”
“Mom, what’s the point of always bringing up the past?”
“I know you don’t like to hear it, but it’s the truth. If it weren’t for your dad, we might not even be alive today. Think about it yourself.”

Guan Yushan saw Lu Yichen bringing a girl in, “Yichen’s here, and who is this?”
“This is my fiancée, Luo Qiao. Sister-in-law’s surgery was arranged by her master’s contacts.”
Guan Yushan said gratefully, “Thank you so much.”
Luo Qiao smiled and said, “You don’t need to be so polite, Guan Yushan. You and Yichen are comrades-in-arms. His matters are mine as well, and I’m glad to be able to help.”
Guan Yushan then introduced his wife and daughter to Luo Qiao.
Luo Qiao greeted Guan Yushan’s wife warmly, “Hello sister-in-law, I’m Luo Qiao, Lu Yichen’s fiancée.”
Upon hearing this, Guan Yushan was reminded of his daughter’s previous actions and said apologetically, “Sister-in-law, I’m really sorry for what Yu Yan did before.”
Luo Qiao laughed, “It’s fine. I know Yichen very well, so I never took it to heart.”
At this point, Guan Yuyan stood to the side like a background board, without saying any unpleasant words.
Guan Yushan’s wife had been weakened by the surgery, and Luo Qiao brought over the chicken soup she’d brewed to the bedside table, “Sister-in-law, Yichen asked me to stew some chicken soup for you; drink some while it’s warm.”
“How can I accept this? You’ve gone to so much trouble for us.”
“I couldn’t come last time because I was busy with exams when Yichen visited you. I added ginseng to the soup, it’s very nourishing.”
“Oh dear, that must have cost a fair bit of money, you really shouldn’t have.”
“Please don’t be so formal, big sister. It’s only right we play the good host.”
Next, Lu Yichen asked about tomorrow’s schedule and learned that the tickets were already bought. He said he would come to send the family to the train station. After watching Sister-in-law Guan drink two small bowls of chicken soup, Lu Yichen finished chatting with Guan Yushan.
Luo Qiao could tell that Lu Yichen had a decent relationship with Guan Yushan. Seeing that Sister-in-law Guan was down to earth, she offered, “Sister-in-law, I study medicine too. May I take your pulse?”
Sister-in-law Guan smiled warmly, “Of course, why not?”
As Luo Qiao took her pulse, Lu Yichen and Guan Yushan, along with the silent background board, Guan Yuyan, all watched. Yichen’s face was full of gratitude; he knew Luo Qiao was doing this for his sake.
Guan Yushan, observing Luo Qiao’s serious expression, whispered to Lu Yichen, “Your girl knows traditional Chinese medicine too?”
Lu Yichen nodded, “Her master is from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, but she later studied Western medicine.”
After taking the pulse, Luo Qiao discussed Sister-in-law Guan’s current health status with her, to which the latter nodded, “You’re exactly right.”
Luo Qiao looked at the Guan family, “If you trust me, I can write a prescription. If you follow it back home, your physical functions should recover relatively faster.”
At this moment, Guan Yuyan stepped forward, “You’re not a doctor; my mom’s just gotten a bit better. Don’t mess with her health.”
When Lu Yi heard this, his face immediately turned cold, and Guan Yushan scolded, “What are you talking about? Apologize.”
Guan Yuyan was stubborn, “Am I wrong? She’s just a freshman, writing a prescription for my mom; isn’t that harming someone?”
