Chapter 132: Chapter 132 Envy

Just then, Captain Gao and Zhang Branch Secretary heard that another jeep had arrived and that it was military personnel, so they also came out to greet them from the brigade headquarters.

Luo Qiao introduced Yuan Weicheng to them, "Uncle, this is our Qingshan Village’s Zhang Branch Secretary and Captain Gao."

Then she turned and introduced, "This is my Uncle Yuan Weicheng."

Yuan Weicheng took out a box of Daqianmen cigarettes, opened it, and handed one to the Branch Secretary and the Captain. He then distributed some to the uncles and grandpas nearby and said, "Thank you for taking care of Luo Qiao while she has been in the village. I will come to visit you later."

Zhang Dezheng laughed, "There’s no trouble at all, Luo Qiao is quite capable herself."

The Captain said, "It’s getting late; you should hurry on home."

Luo Qiao gratefully replied, "Then we’ll be going now; it’s time to cook at home."

Yuan Weicheng asked, "Is it far from here? I brought some things for you in the car. Can the car drive over, or is it too far to carry everything?"

When Zhang Branch Secretary heard this, he said, "If there are a lot of things, use the brigade’s cart."

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Thank you, Secretary."

When Luo Qiao brought the cart over and saw the things in the car, she asked, "Uncle, you prepared so much. Are you afraid I’ll starve to death?"

Yuan Weicheng replied, "When I received the letter you sent, the old man almost came here himself in anger. If it weren’t for the whole family’s efforts, and me taking the initiative to visit you, the old man would have probably stormed over a while ago."

Luo Qiao said, "Actually, I’m doing quite well now. Really, I’m free and independent, not having to endure their disdainful looks. Moreover, as you know, I learned medicine from Grandpa Yang at the farm, and I can make a living by digging up herbs and selling them in my spare time."

Luo Qiao’s words were specifically intended for the villagers who had stayed behind to hear, just to let them know that she hadn’t lied and indeed knew medicine and understood herbs.

Yuan Weicheng unloaded everything from the car onto the cart and said, "Alright, I know you’re capable. Let me take a look at where you live, so I can report back to the old man."

The villagers resting under the willow trees by the river saw the person visiting Luo Qiao bringing so many things and each showed an envious expression.

After Luo Qiao and the others had gone a distance, those people started gossiping once again.

Some said, "Ay, the people Luo Qiao knows are all quite impressive, each driving a car and bringing so many things."

"You think the Zhao Family is regretting their guts now? Gao Suhua stubbornly refused to take her in, haha, it’s killing me."

"Speaking of which, Luo Qiao is no simple character; no wonder she had the nerve not to step into the Zhao Family’s door. ’You don’t want me, but I don’t want to enter your house either.’ Look, now she’s got her family’s support."

"Look at all the things in that cart, all good stuff! I even saw Mai Ru Jing and canned food. How much money would all that cost?"

"How much it costs is none of your business, why are you even worried? Hahaha."

"Do you think the Luo Family in the city knows that Luo Qiao knows these people?"

"They should know. Didn’t you hear Luo Qiao say she met them previously at the farm? The Luo Family is definitely aware."

"Then the Luo Family is just being foolish. They raised her for so many years; why fear raising her a few more? Instead of sending her back, if they had raised her for a few more years, they could have married her off and received a bride price."

"You’re right, that girl Luo Qiao is quite pretty. If she grows up more, she might become quite the beauty."

"With relatives of such standing, she wouldn’t be someone just any family could hope to marry into."
