Chapter 147: Chapter 147: The Speaker Is Unintentional, the Listener Intentional

Lu Yichen wasn’t in a great mood. He and Stone had been standing not far from the crowd of onlookers, because they couldn’t hear very clearly from inside their yard what was being said outside, and he was worried that the little girl might be bullied.

So, they quietly positioned themselves behind, with the cornfields as their cover. Only when those people began to disperse did they retreat back into their own yard.

He had heard the young girl say she would only consider finding a partner after getting into university and that she wanted someone like-minded as her companion. Although there was nothing wrong with these statements, they still made him feel uncomfortable.

Stone saw the steamed dumplings and couldn’t help chuckling, "Sister Luo Qiao, I’m so happy right now. I’ve never eaten so many different kinds of food, and they’re all especially delicious.

The most important thing is having you and Brother Lu with me. It’d be great if we could always stay together like this."

Though the speaker meant no harm, the listener took it to heart. Suddenly, Lu Yichen understood why he had been so concerned about those words. He looked up at Luo Qiao as if he had thoroughly figured something out, and then his mood improved.

After taking a sip of the porridge, he picked up a dumpling and bit into it, "Mm, Stone is right, each dish is particularly delicious."

In his heart, he silently added, "We’ll never part from now on."

Finishing his meal in a good mood, his expression softened as he turned to Luo Qiao, "Be a bit more careful these next few days. Li Xiulan has suffered a big loss and is probably looking for a way to save face."

Luo Qiao pouted and rolled her eyes disdainfully, "I am Gao Shunyi’s lifesaver, and he is someone who cares about face. Li Xiulan would only dare to cause trouble privately, but do I look like someone easy to bully? Underestimating me, hmph!"

Lu Yichen laughed out loud, "Okay, okay, you’re formidable, alright?"

After saying that, he took the initiative to wash the dishes, while Luo Qiao re-applied medicine on Stone, "Stone, the scabs on your back might feel itchy in the next few days, but you must not scratch them, understand?

Just bear with it for a few days. Once the scabs fall off, I’ll apply some scar-removing medicine. After a while, it won’t leave any scars, alright?"

Stone responded with an "Mhm": "Sister Luo Qiao, is this medicine very expensive? Grandpa Gao said it would cost a lot of money." His voice sounded somewhat downcast.

After finishing with his back, Luo Qiao replied, "Some herbs in it are indeed a bit expensive, but since I make it myself, it saves quite a bit of money. Stone, don’t worry."

Lu Yichen finished with the dishes and took over the next part of applying the medicine, as it involved applying it to the buttocks and legs and it was somewhat inconvenient for Luo Qiao to do so, especially since Stone was now eight years old.

Taking the medicine and leading Stone outside, preparing to go back to his own yard to continue, he said to Luo Qiao, "We’re leaving. Don’t dawdle either, it’s almost time to go to work."

During the course of one breakfast, the news about Li Xiulan had spread quickly throughout Qingshan Village. The Gao Family members walked with their heads lowered when they came out to work, fearing others might bring up the morning’s events.

Now, the villagers no longer dared to look down on Luo Qiao; without making a sound, she had participated in the middle school exams. With Li Xiulan showing up to propose marriage, she had managed to prevent them from revealing who the suitor was—a feat not just anyone could achieve.

For Li Xiulan, the village gossip expert, to be rendered speechless was something not many in Qingshan Village could do. It was like Li Xiulan suffering the torment of swallowing a bitter medicine without being able to express her distress.

Quite a few people in the village were whispering among themselves, looking at Gao Shunyi and Li Xiulan with scorn and contempt. Truly, a family without shame.
