Chapter 912: Chapter 912 No Room for Negotiation in Tricking You Chapter 912: Chapter 912 No Room for Negotiation in Tricking You Di Manning haughtily led the group away, and after walking a good distance, turned back and said, “Luo Qiao, once this village is behind you, there’s no such shop. I don’t mind letting you tag along for a meal.”
Luo Qiao replied with a light smile, “No need, thank you for your kindness.”
Upon reaching the upper floor, those following Di Manning all felt that the Di Family was too generous to their daughter, giving her so much spending money. They thought Di Manning was truly favored, inducing envy in others.
A girl walking behind queried, “Sister Ningning, isn’t that your classmate? Why do I feel like she knows the receptionist?”
Before Di Manning could respond, another girl piped up, “Maybe she works here.”
Di Manning considered it and thought it was possible; otherwise, why would Luo Qiao be here at this time? Thinking of Luo Qiao’s usual attire, she scorned inwardly, “She must be doing this for face; the little salary from her hospital internship isn’t enough for her wastefulness.”
She had arrived early because today was her brother’s betrothal, and her father asked her to set up the scene in advance and greet the early-arriving guests.
Feeling that she had finally gotten one over on Luo Qiao today, but also aware that she shouldn’t be too arrogant in public, she refrained from making too many unpleasant remarks, still considering her own image.
Di Manning was also adorably ignorant, interning at a small hospital close to home, and being inconsistent with her attendance. However, she had relatives there, so her internship reviews would undoubtedly be fine.
Thus, having such a doctor assigned to any hospital wouldn’t be good for the hospital or the patients. One really wonders why she chose to study medicine in the first place.
When Luo Qiao returned home, she quickly freshened up. After drinking a cup of warm water handed to her by her grandmother, she took her child and cooed, “Yanyan, my little darling, did you miss mommy?”
Since she had been out for a long time today, the little one was nearly starving. Luo Qiao asked her grandmother to bring Yueyue over too. With both sisters on her lap, they fed contentedly.
Zhou Guifang watched for a while, “You go ahead and breastfeed, I’ll go check if the steamed egg custard is ready. Your older and second sister-in-law should be back soon pushing those three little troublemakers.”
Luo Qiao said with a smile, “It’s good that my older and second sister-in-law are on summer vacation, otherwise the three of us wouldn’t be able to handle it all by ourselves.”
Zhou Guifang laughed, “That’s very true.”
She then went downstairs to the kitchen, and within moments, the front door opened, and Xiao Ya’s voice could be heard, “Grandma, we’re back!”
Zhou Guifang emerged from the kitchen, “Come on in. I guessed you’d be back by now. If not, the children would be too hot to handle.”
She placed three bowls of egg custard on the table, “Feed them some water first, then give them the egg custard.”
As Xiao Ya took the bowls, she asked, “Grandma, has Qiaoqiao come back yet?”
Zhou Guifang sat down, taking Peng Yun to feed him egg custard, “She’s back, upstairs breastfeeding Yanyan and Yueyue.”
Xiao Ya commented with envy, “I hope my baby will be as easy to care for as Yanyan and Yueyue when I have one.”
Woo Yunmei laughed, “After the new year, you can start planning for a family too. We’ll find a relaxed position for you first, then look for a chance to transfer after the baby is born.”
Xiao Ya’s face flushed, “That’s what we’ve been thinking.”
After Luo Qiao finished feeding the two little ones, she put them in the basket her grandfather had made so she could come downstairs; she simply didn’t have the ability to carry them both at the same time.
Seeing Luo Qiao come downstairs, her older sister-in-law Woo Yunmei asked, “What time did you get back?”
Luo Qiao lifted the two from the basket and placed them in a small cart, “I just got back a while ago.”
At that moment, Luo Daoren entered carrying a basket of tomatoes, “Qiaoqiao, weren’t you saying this morning that you wanted tomato and egg noodles? I’ve picked quite a few, you can have them with sugar if you’d like.”
Luo Qiao took the basket with a smile, “Perfect timing, I’m craving them now. Older sister, second sister, would you like some?”
Xiao Ya said with a smile, “Let’s open a plate, I’ll help too.”
Luo Qiao quickly sliced five plates, and sprinkled sugar on them, “Doesn’t this look like snow-capped mountains?”
Xiao Ya looked at the plates of tomatoes sprinkled with sugar, “Indeed, it does resemble them.”
