Chapter 228: Chapter 228 Looking for Faults

Shang Hongying turned and left the room, thinking that someone like her little sister-in-law needed to be taught a lesson, lest she bring even bigger trouble to the family someday.

But as soon as she thought about the possibility of it affecting her own children in the future, she again hoped that her father-in-law and her husband could persuade Luo Qiao to change her mind.

In Ji City, after Luo Qiao woke up and got ready, she first ran to the train station. Ji City didn’t have a direct train to the south; she needed to go to Jinan first and then transfer.

Luo Qiao bought a ticket for the earliest train the next day. It would leave at eight in the morning. After securing her ticket, she headed toward the Yao Family’s house, having prepared all the things she planned to take to them while she was at home.

When she was nearly at the Yao Family’s place, she found a secluded spot to transfer the items to her carrying basket. There wasn’t anything particularly valuable—aside from two fish and ten eggs, the rest were vegetables from her own fields.

Luo Qiao didn’t expect that Zhang Dezheng and his son had been waiting outside the theatre company’s family quarters so long they were almost sun-dried. Zhang Dongze borrowed a bowl from somewhere else. After drinking his fill, he brought a bowl of water to his father, just as Luo Qiao entered the theatre company’s residential building.

At this moment, the Yao Family’s eldest daughter was in the courtyard, arguing with her mother.

It was because she had only discovered upon returning home today that her father had gotten into a fight over Luo Qiao, which displeased her. "Why are you always so involved with Luo Qiao’s affairs?" she said. "If people decide to take revenge on us, where will we seek justice? We’re neither kin nor kith to Luo Qiao, why should she bring her troubles to our doorstep?"

Wu Peiling, somewhat angered, retorted, "Yao Lili, what’s wrong with you? How has Luo Qiao provoked you, for you to have such a big issue with her?"

Yao Lili said, "Yes, she has provoked me. Ever since we were little, you’ve always protected her. In the collective farm, it was one thing, given the proximity. You felt sorry for her and defended her, but now, when she’s far away from you, why are you still rushing to deal with her matters?"

In a fit of anger, Wu Peiling picked up the broom at hand and was about to hit Yao Lili, who, fearing the beating, turned and ran toward the courtyard gate. But as she opened the door, she saw Luo Qiao standing at the gate.

She was taken aback at first, then shouted loudly, "What are you doing here?"

Luo Qiao replied indifferently, "I’ve come to see how Uncle Yao and Auntie are."

Wu Peiling caught up and, hearing her daughter speaking with someone, set aside the broom she was brandishing and asked, "Who are you talking to, and in such a rude manner?"

She peered out and spotted Luo Qiao standing at the gate, quickly pushing past her daughter Yao Lili and saying, "You dead girl, you couldn’t even send a message ahead. If it weren’t for the two people who came looking for you today, we wouldn’t even know you’ve been injured."

"Where are you hurt? Let me have a look. How did you manage to run into that vile girl?"

Hearing Wu Peiling’s conversation, the neighbors also gathered around, and one of the women asked, "Peiling, is this the girl who was almost hit by a cow?"

Wu Peiling then realized they were still standing outside the courtyard and, with a smile, began introducing Luo Qiao to everyone, "This is Luo Qiao, this year’s top scholar of Ji City Middle School Exam."

Luo Qiao greeted everyone with a smile.

There followed a string of compliments for Luo Qiao, and someone said, "This girl is so lovely, and she studies so well. I wonder which lucky fellow will end up with her."

A woman beside them asked, "I heard you almost fell down a cliff. Are your injuries alright?"

Not wanting to delve into this topic, but unable to resist the neighbors’ enthusiastic questioning, Luo Qiao had to briefly recount the event.

Seeing that the crowd was getting too much, Wu Peiling interjected, "Everyone disperse. Let her rest for a bit."

The crowd dispersed, but just as Wu Peiling was about to lead Luo Qiao into the yard, Yao Lili stepped in the way, "What now? I heard that your village gave you half a month off. Are you planning on lazing around at our house for these two weeks?"

It was the first time Luo Qiao met Yao Lili. In the original host’s memories, this Yao Lili had never gotten along with her, resenting her parents for splitting their love between them and always causing trouble for Luo Qiao.
