Chapter 148: Chapter 148 Collections

Capital City, Yuan Weicheng brought home the melon Luo Qiao had given him. It was the weekend, and everyone was at home. They all teased Yuan Weicheng when they saw him return with the backpack.

Upon seeing what was inside the backpack, Big Brother Yuan Weizhou asked, "Third brother, where did you get this from?"

Yuan Weicheng glanced at Old Master Yuan before replying, "This was brought back on request from that girl Luo Qiao. Dad, Luo Qiao’s temperament is quite different from what you described. That girl is quite something. Don’t worry about her."

Song Huizhen, the sister-in-law, took a few melons to the kitchen, washed and cut them, then served them to everyone. Yuan Weicheng said, "Come and try this. I carried it a long way back home. These melons are really exceptionally tasty."

After taking a bite, Old Master Yuan gave his youngest son the thumbs up, "Indeed, not bad at all. They’re sweet and fragrant."

After listening to Yuan Weicheng describe Luo Qiao’s situation, the family gained a new understanding of this young girl, and Old Master Yuan felt much relieved.

As for the basket of melons, each family got a share, and some were sent to the neighbors on either side to try. Of course, they did not forget to send a portion to the Yang Family, and it was unanimously praised by all.

In Ji City’s Luo Family house, Luo Bin had been so frightened that he hadn’t dared to go out for three days. The money he swindled from his foster parents in Qingshan Village was all gone in gambling, and he was still sixty yuan in debt. He was afraid that the people from the gambling den would come looking for him.

Luo Tianming had noticed something off about his eldest son these past few days, but Luo Bin wouldn’t say a word. Ever since they brought the child back home, he had been distant from Luo Tianming and his wife, refusing to go to school. Except for asking for money occasionally, they hardly ever saw him.

But now, for three whole days, the boy had just been holed up at home, not going out at all, and today, looking anxious and constantly peering outside the front door, Luo Tianming began to have some bad premonitions.

Before he had a chance to inquire further, they heard knocking at the door. As he was about to see who it was, a group of thugs walked into the courtyard. Luo Tianming asked, "Who are you looking for?"

The leader of the thugs replied, "We’re looking for Luo Bin. He’s home, isn’t he?"

Luo Tianming could tell that this group wasn’t good news. How could his son possibly know these people?

Frowning, he asked, "What do you want with him?"

One of them said, "Ask him when he’s going to repay the money he owes us."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tianming asked, "Why would he owe you money, and when did he incur this debt?"

The head thug glanced inside the house and called out, "Luo Bin, we know you’re at home. Come out now. You can’t hide forever."

In the main room, Luo Tiancheng and his wife, upon hearing the thugs’ conversation in the courtyard, felt an even greater dislike for Luo Bin, and Qiao Juan thought to herself that splitting the family was now inevitable.

Luo Tianming called Luo Bin out and asked him, "Did you really owe them money?"

Luo Bin, without daring to lift his head, glanced up at the people standing in the yard and gave Luo Tianming a barely perceptible nod.

Luo Tianming was nearly enraged to death by his eldest son. Grinding his teeth, he asked the terrified Luo Bin, "How did you incur this debt, and how much is it?"

Luo Bin was too scared to speak, retreating several steps back.

The thug from the other side interrupted, "Could you hurry up? We’re on a tight schedule."

Luo Tianming lost his temper and gave Luo Bin a slap, "Won’t you talk?"

Luo Bin looked up at Luo Tianming and said defiantly, "You hit me? My parents have never laid a hand on me, and you dare to hit me? I hate you."
