Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Disgusting Others Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Disgusting Others Luo Qiao said, “I’m just here to take care of some business, so I stopped by to see Uncle Yao and Auntie Yao. There’s no need for harsh words.”
Yao Lili blocked the doorway, refusing to let her in, and said mockingly, “If you think my words are unpleasant, you shouldn’t have e. You don’t know how much of our family’s food you’ve eaten at the farm, and now you’re afraid of hearing unpleasant words.”
Luo Qiao really couldn’t stand such people, but the original host indeed received a lot of help from Mr. and Mrs. Yao, and she had to accept this debt of gratitude.
Luo Qiao set down her carrying basket, “Then I won’t e in. Just find a basket and transfer the things out; I will leave right away.”
Yao Lili snorted disdainfully, “We don’t care for it; you think these things can make up for all the food you’ve eaten from our family over the years? Stop dreaming.”
Now Luo Qiao was truly angry; owing the Yao family did not mean she had to put up with Yao Lili’s attitude.
Auntie Yao, infuriated, looked around for something handy to hit Yao Lili with, this trouble-maker who caused nothing but problems. However, Luo Qiao stopped her.
Luo Qiao said, “Then tell me, how do you think I can repay this debt? Should I return food or money, or do something else?”
Yao Lili huffed, “Look at you, thinking you’re so capable. People who don’t know any better might think you’re something special.”
Luo Qiao said, “During my time on the farm, the kindness Uncle Yao and Auntie Yao showed me will always be remembered in my heart. Since you now feel that I owe your family, then I will repay it. I am giving you the chance now, whether you want money or food, it’s up to you.”
Some women who hadn’t left yet teased, “Li Li, this is a great opportunity you mustn’t let slip. Isn’t your brother still without a wife? This fits perfectly, and besides, this girl is quite pretty.”
To be honest, Luo Qiao was a bit oblivious to jokes and hated people who brought trouble to others with just a flip of their lips. She turned her head and looked at the woman who had spoken.
The woman caught Luo Qiao’s displeased look and said, “Hey, don’t look at me like that. For a village girl to marry into the city, that’s like a carp leaping through the dragon’s gate. It’s better than staying in the village.”
In truth, Luo Qiao had not eaten much from the Yao family. The Yao family had many children to feed and could barely satisfy their own hunger, let alone help Luo Qiao with much. But it was true that they had protected her quite a bit over those years.
In those years, Luo Qiao had eaten much more at the Yuan Family and Yang Family. Old Master Yuan was there because he’d taken the initiative to retreat bravely, stepping down to the farm, and his treatment was different from others.
The Yang Family’s days were better because Elder Yang could heal, and the farm’s leadership was previously under Master Yuan’s mand, so they lived better than other families on the farm.
Wu Peiling, regardless of Luo Qiao’s prevention, reached out to hit Yao Lili, but was stopped again by Luo Qiao, “Auntie, you really can’t hit Li Li today. If you do, I definitely won’t be able to e and see you again afterwards.
I don’t want to cause unrest in your family because of me. You’ve always protected me on the farm, and I have not forgotten that kindness. If I have the ability in the future, as long as it doesn’t break the law or go against my conscience, Luo Qiao will surely repay the debt with the utmost gratitude.
Listening to Luo Qiao, Wu Peiling was extremely disappointed in her daughter and knew that their relationship with Luo Qiao could not go back to how it was before. It seemed like after all they had done, all that was left was the remembrance of that kindness.
Luo Qiao looked at Yao Lili, “Since you think I’ve eaten a lot from your family, why don’t you state an amount now? I will repay it all at once. I was thinking of repaying it gradually in the future, but now it seems unnecessary.”
Yao Lili said, “These are your words; I did not force you, did I?”
Luo Qiao said, “Yes, these are my words.”
Yao Lili said, “For over a decade, there have been a few occasions each year. Although the food wasn’t great and there wasn’t much of it, it still saved your life. I’m not wrong about that, am I?”
Wu Peiling shouted, “Yao Lili, are you asking for death?”
Yao Lili said, “Mom, since Luo Qiao wants to repay us and we’re in need right now, why can’t I mention it?”
Wu Peiling angrily said, “Li Li, how old are you this year? Can’t you understand some things? Are you trying to anger me to death?”
Luo Qiao thought that today she must resolve this matter. She didn’t want Yao Lili to keep troubling her with this issue in the future.
