Chapter 600: Chapter 600 Touched Chapter 600: Chapter 600 Touched For Zhao Jianing, Luo Qiao felt no pity at all; it was all her own doing.
Upon arrival, Luo Qiao got off the vehicle directly.
The sky had been overcast since the day before, and when she got off, she felt snowflakes landing on her face. Looking up, it was indeed snowing.
She found a secluded spot to take out the things she had prepared the night before: two processed chickens, ten pounds of meat, and three sizable fresh fish, along with quite a bit of cured meat and fish.
She had also specifically included a lot of dried bamboo shoots. Last time, Master mentioned in passing he wanted to eat bamboo shoots, but unfortunately, they were not for sale. So, Luo Qiao made a lot of them in her space. Fresh shoots would be a perfect excuse to give them to him when she returned from the South, so it wouldn’t arouse suspicion. In her hand, she also carried a basket full of eggs.
With a woven bag in one hand and the eggs in another, Luo Qiao entered the alley, but seeing a crowd of people ahead, she thought Master’s unfilial sons had e to make trouble again and hurried forward a few steps.
Only when she got closer did she realize the crowd was gathered around Master’s next-door neighbor, the Liu Family, and she let out a sigh of relief.
She thought so. Jing Wanpeng’s handling of things should not have caused any repercussions. If those families were making trouble again today, she wouldn’t mind teaching them a lesson. Master and Madam were old and couldn’t afford to be upset now.
As Luo Qiao approached, she heard Auntie Qiu saying, “Qiaoqiao, have you brought some tasty treats for your Master and Madam again?”
Luo Qiao replied with a smile, “Mm, have they e back yet?”
Auntie Qiu replied, “Your Master and Madam just entered the house; they’re probably cooking right now.”
The onlookers were envying Luo Qiao for the items in her hands, and she said to Auntie Qiu, “Auntie Qiu, I’ll go in first then.”
Auntie Qiu smiled and said, “Go on in, your Master and Madam will definitely be happy to see you.”
Luo Qiao nodded to the people watching the excitement and quickened her steps into the courtyard.
“Auntie Qiu, is this young lady the closed-door disciple that Professor Yang took in?”
“Yes, her name is Luo Qiao. She’s especially good to Professor Yang and his wife, often visits them, and every time she brings food and necessities. They indeed did not teach her in vain.”
“This young lady is really pretty. Does she have someone?”
“That I don’t know. She always es by herself.”
“You all better not set your sights on her; she’s still in school.”
“It’s been a long time since the children of the Yang Family came to make trouble, hasn’t it?”
“Mm-hmm, quite some time, indeed. They must have reformed.”
“Hmph, they’re all so selfish; how could they change? I’ve heard they were warned—another ruckus and they’d be transferred to the Northwest, and if even one showed up, all three families would go.”
“Really?”
“Of course, it’s true. My relative works in the same factory as the Eldest of the Yang Family; it slipped out from his youngest son. The story is foolproof.”
“I suppose some student couldn’t stand it anymore and decided to teach them a lesson.”
“Recently, someone has been delivering vegetables to Professor Yang’s house every morning. It’s not much, but it’s daily.”
“Yep, yep, yep, I’ve seen it a few times myself. The person delivering the vegetables always arrives before Professor Yang and his wife leave the house.”
“I even stopped and asked once. The delivery person just said it was arranged by the leadership, and the vegetables are especially fresh.”
“Look at how envious you all are, ha ha.”
Once Luo Qiao entered the courtyard, she headed straight for the kitchen because she heard Master’s and Madam’s voices, “Old man, is that pickled vegetable you made ready?”
“It should be about there; we can open a jar to taste later.”
“Sure, Qiaoqiao loves that kind of thing. If it’s ready, we’ll call her to take some back with her to eat.”
“Then I’ll go open a jar later. This girl has been busy with something these days and hasn’t visited for a while.”
“If you miss Qiaoqiao, just say it outright, why be so roundabout, ha ha!”
“You’re making fun of me, but aren’t you also thinking the same?”
“I didn’t say I wasn’t missing her.”
As the two bantered, Luo Qiao outside the door had red-rimmed eyes, “Master, Madam, I’m back.”
“Ah, I hear Qiaoqiao’s voice.”
When they realized who it was, they put down what they were holding and walked toward the door. Feng Shumin said, “We were just talking about you. e in and warm up, oh, it’s snowing.”
