Chapter 1096: Chapter 1096: Alright, I Give In

Everyone laughed as they watched their little cousin. Second Brother Luo Xuyuan said, "We can lend you the money, but we have one condition. From now on, you’ll do the dishes whenever the family gathers, and you must attend every gathering without hiding."

Everyone watched her conflicted expression and laughed inwardly.

Big Brother Luo Xuyan asked with a smile, "Have you made up your mind?"

Luo Jiayue pouted, "You guys are really not nice to me, hmph, so mean."

Just when everyone thought she would argue for herself, instead, they heard, "Alright, I give up."

A burst of laughter rang out, alarming the uncle and little aunt’s families sitting nearby, who all turned to look.

Then, Miss Luo Jiayue signed a loan note for twelve hundred yuan, which was promptly torn up by Second Brother Luo Xuyuan after she walked away, but rules had to be established.

Luo Xuyan promised that he would go with her the next day to choose a violin. Even though their cousin had been careless this time and fell for someone else’s trick, they couldn’t let their own kid be bullied.

Luo Xuyuan also said that if they were buying a violin, they should buy a good-sounding one that would last a while.

Luo Xuyuan turned to Xiao Ya, "Wife, finally we have someone dedicated to washing all those dishes."

That remark frightened Xiao Ya, who quickly waved her hands at grandma, saying, "I never said I didn’t want to wash the dishes."

Then anxiously turned to Luo Xuyuan, "Aren’t you making people hate me? When did I say I didn’t want to wash dishes?"

Seeing Xiao Ya genuinely upset, Luo Xuyuan quickly soothed her, "I didn’t say you said it. Look how scared you got; I was just being considerate."

That comment just led to Xiao Ya responding, "Great, now you’ve made it even worse."

Then, Woo Yunmei and Geng Yanqiu could be seen giving Luo Xuyan and Luo Siyuan a cold stare, their disdain obvious.

Luo Qiao couldn’t help but burst into laughter, and then Big Brother Luo Xuyan and Fourth Brother Luo Siyuan, before Second Brother Luo Xuyuan had a chance to react, pulled him into the living room on the first floor. Soon after, loud roars of laughter continued non-stop.

Finally, Luo Xuyuan shouted, "Wife, save me."

Xiao Ya stood up and yelled at the room, "You’re always so clever, how come your brain took a day off today? Serves you right."

Then everyone burst into uncontrollable laughter.

That night, Luo Qiao and her husband didn’t stay at the Luo Family’s house but went back to the Gu family home, as the uncle’s acupuncture treatment couldn’t be skipped during this critical period.

However, upon entering their house, they found that guests were already present.

As they went into the living room, Gu Qianru stood up, "You’ve returned. These two people are here to see Luo Qiao."

Luo Qiao thought of the person who had stopped her at the hospital previously, and on closer inspection, indeed it was him. She nodded at the two visitors and instructed Lu Yichen to take the children to wash up.

After the children went to the backyard, Luo Qiao approached.

The elderly lady on the sofa spoke, "I’m sorry for bothering you today, but we heard that Dr. Luo is going abroad after the fifteenth, and out of desperation to seek medical help, we came here. Please forgive our urgency."

Luo Qiao nodded, showing understanding, "Who are you seeking treatment for?"

She wasn’t interested in prying into their family background. If it weren’t for this elderly lady being quite polite, she wouldn’t have entertained them at all.

The old lady sighed, "It’s for my grandson. A few years ago, due to his youthful recklessness, he got into a conflict which damaged his leg nerves. We’ve traveled all over the country without being able to help him walk like a normal person."

Hearing this, Luo Qiao said, "Even if I can treat him, it would be a long-term project. I’m leaving the country in three days, so I’m afraid there’s not enough time."

The man standing next to her interjected, "Why are you being like this? Our family’s old lady has personally come here, and you’re still dodging the issue. Just tell us how much it will cost to treat him."

The old lady shouted, "Shut up."

Luo Qiao glanced at the speaker and then at the old lady, "It’s getting late; I’ve said what needed to be said, please leave."

The old lady pleaded anxiously, "Dr. Luo, we truly apologize. She’s watched my grandson grow up and is just anxious. Please, for the sake of our Qiao family, forgive her."

Luo Qiao found this even more amusing, "I don’t care who you are, and I’m not interested. You probably haven’t found out who I am; sorry, but I really don’t need the money. Please leave."

The old lady became more urgent, "Dr. Luo, we were wrong to speak loosely, but my request for medical help is sincere. We only learned about you from a friend yesterday, and upon hearing that you were going abroad, we hurried here."

With the old lady using ’you’ respectfully, considering her age and how humbly she sought help for her grandson, calling Luo Qiao ’you’, Luo Qiao softened.

She said, "My grandma is about your age, and seeing how much you love your grandson, I might be willing to take a look. But whether I can treat him or not depends on seeing the patient."

"But I’m leaving the country in three days and can’t delay. Do you still want me to examine him?"

The old lady eagerly replied, "Yes, yes, as long as there’s a slight hope, our Qiao family won’t give up."

After a sigh, she added, "Actually, to be honest, we’ve taken my grandson abroad for treatment before, but even after surgery, he couldn’t recover to his original state."

Luo Qiao glanced at the living room clock, "Madam, it’s getting late. You better head back. Bring him over tomorrow, and we’ll see how things go after the examination."
