Chapter 1073: Chapter 1073: It’s Not That I Don’t Want to Return, It’s That I Have No Face to Return

Just like every year, on the afternoon of the first day of the lunar new year, Luo Qiao and Lu Yichen, with their two daughters, went back to their master and his wife’s place, planning to stay there for one night before heading to grandma’s house the next day.

In the evening, they did not stir-fry any dishes but simply made a few small dishes to accompany drinks, enjoying a hotpot meal.

The master had drunk too much today and kept saying that he had failed in teaching his children, and Lu Yichen had exerted great effort to get him back to his room.

After tidying up the kitchen, Feng Shumin commented, "It has ultimately become a thorn in his heart."

Luo Qiao poured a glass of boiled water for her master’s wife and gently said, "Master’s wife, please have some water."

She had initially wanted to offer some comforting words, but as she had not experienced their suffering personally, she found it hard to speak out. Instead, she decided to observe and follow the master and his wife’s lead.

As they grew older, during the festive seasons, they surely envied other families whose children and grandchildren gathered in joy and harmony. If those families could come back and communicate well with the master and his wife, perhaps they could avoid further hurting their hearts.

In fact, as long as those three families did not behave outrageously, she also hoped that in their later years, the master and his wife could enjoy their days surrounded by joyful grandchildren and family unity.

After all, no matter how filial she was, she could not replace the kinship of their own grandchildren.

Nevertheless, Luo Qiao still said, "Master’s wife, whatever you decide to do, I will support you."

Feng Shumin looked at Luo Qiao and smiled, though tears twinkled in her eyes.

The next morning, Luo Qiao got up early, and Lu Yichen helped as her sous-chef, preparing mutton soup for the master and his wife. As there was no oven available, they made pan-fried buns instead of pastries and whipped up a few appetizers—perfect!

Last night, Feng Shumin thought about many things and went to bed late, but luckily, she had slept sweetly thanks to the medicinal pack Luo Qiao had prepared earlier, allowing her to wake up late.

After the elderly couple had finished tidying up, nobody mentioned last night’s events. Just as they stepped outside, they heard Yanyan and Yueyue calling out, "Grandpa, Grandma, it’s time to eat."

Yang Jiancheng’s face was wreathed in smiles as he handed over red packets prepared the day before: "This is the lucky money Grandpa has given to help you sleep well. Take it."

After Yanyan and Yueyue took it, they politely said, "Thank you, Grandpa."

Feng Shumin looked towards Luo Qiao coming from the kitchen: "Smelling this, it must be mutton soup. Really fragrant."

Seeing Lu Yichen wearing an apron, Feng Shumin’s face showed relief. No matter what, her Qiaoqiao had married the right person. In this conservative era, having someone cook for you is genuinely rare.

Lu Yichen poked his head out: "Master, Master’s wife, it’s time to eat."

Yang Jiancheng, cheerfully pulling Yanyan and Yueyue along, said, "Let’s go, it’s time for some mutton soup."

Just as they were about to finish eating, they heard someone shouting in the courtyard: "Grandpa, Grandma, we’ve come back to see you."

Yang Jiancheng and Feng Shumin exchanged looks, a tremor in their hearts, as they stood and walked outside. Upon seeing the people in the courtyard, Yang Jiancheng sternly asked, "What are you doing back here?"

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy stepped forward: "Grandpa, we’ve come to see you and Grandma. Of course, we also have something to ask of you."

Yang Jiancheng replied coldly, "We don’t need you to look after us. Please leave."

The boy looked at the two elderly figures: "Grandpa, Grandma, many years have passed, and my parents now realize their mistakes. They haven’t come back to see you all these years not because they didn’t want to, but because they were ashamed.

Grandpa, Grandma, I’m about to take my university entrance exam this year, but with my grades, getting into a university in Capital City seems unlikely. If our family could return to Capital, and I got my residence back in Capital City, there might still be hope.

Grandpa, Grandma, I want to move back to Capital, to attend a university in Capital City, to be closer to you."

Following him, Yang’s Second Child Yang Ligang and his wife also stepped forward, with Yang Ligang kneeling down before his parents: "Dad, Mom, it’s my fault. I have been unfilial and I’m asking for your forgiveness."

Luo Qiao quickly approached: "Master, Master’s wife, if you have something to discuss, please talk inside."

Yang Jiancheng did not say a word but turned around and walked towards the living room. Feng Shumin glanced at her kneeling second son: "Aren’t you coming inside?"

Luo Qiao turned back to the kitchen, brewed a pot of tea for them, and then left the room. After all, she was an outsider, and some matters needed to be resolved by them themselves.

After cleaning up the kitchen, she stewed a pot of spare ribs, steamed a seabass, mixed a small dish of assorted vegetables, sliced some sausages, prepared the rest of the vegetables for later use, and finally used the rice cooker to cook some rice.

Fortunately, since they had just eaten, their coats were still in the dining hall. After getting dressed, Luo Qiao turned down the stove to simmer the spare ribs and left a note. Then, the family of four departed.

Once in the car, Luo Qiao sighed, "Every family indeed has its own difficult scripture."

Lu Yi patted Luo Qiao’s hair: "Don’t think too much."

Luo Qiao turned her head to look back at the courtyard: "I wasn’t overthinking. As long as the master and his wife are happy, I will support them unconditionally. The issues back then don’t involve the grandchildren, and it’s not unreasonable for the child to want to return to Capital City."
