Chapter 279: Chapter 279 The Ways of Humanity and the Sounds of Complaint

Director Tiong chuckled and said, "Oh my, you calling me, ah, such a good child, just having this intention makes me very happy already. I really can’t accept this."

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "The mushroom sauce is homemade by me. You can take it back for aunt and the others to try. As for this brown sugar, I just heard Sister-in-law Yuehong is in her confinement period. It’s truly a little something from my heart.

Moreover, I’ll have to trouble you in the future to look after Grandma Luo’s grave, as I’m so far away and definitely won’t be able to come back often. You have to let me be at ease somewhat, right?"

With the conversation at this point, Director Tiong had no choice but to accept, so he said, "Rest assured, I will look after Grandma Luo’s grave whenever I have the time, remove the weeds a bit. Grandma Luo certainly didn’t dote on you for nothing."

Actually, Luo Qiao was just saying the polite thing; a big director like him wouldn’t have time to do those things. It was all just so that if something happened, he could stand up and speak a fair word for her.

Having settled her business, Luo Qiao didn’t linger as she still had to catch a ride. So, upon leaving the office, she headed straight for the farm’s main gate, hoping to catch a passing ox cart or donkey cart to save herself the long walk.

She encountered many people along the way, but Luo Qiao didn’t stop; she just greeted them hurriedly and walked on. Reaching the farm’s main gate, she saw Elder Qin standing outside looking around.

Luo Qiao hurried over, "Elder Qin, why are you standing outside?"

Elder Qin said with a smile, "Didn’t you mention you have to rush to catch the train after paying homage to your grandma? This morning, the eldest son of the Zhao Family from Baijia Village came back with his wife. I reckon he will leave again soon. He cycled back."

"I was just thinking if he happens to come by, he could give you a lift. There are especially few cars going out in the afternoon, and with such a long distance, I am indeed a tad worried about you, young lady."

Upon hearing Elder Qin’s words, Luo Qiao felt a warm rush and her eyes reddened. She nodded and said, "Thank you, Elder Qin."

Old Qin laughed heartily, "Thank me for what? You’re like a child I watched grow up. Come back and visit more often when you have time."

Luo Qiao nodded, "Yes, I will."

While Elder Qin was waiting at the main gate, Luo Qiao went into the gatehouse, left two bottles of mushroom and meat sauce, and a handful of White Rabbit Creamy Candies on the table, then quietly slipped out again.

After chatting a bit more at the farm gate, they indeed saw the eldest son of the Zhao Family from Baijia Village approaching on his bicycle. Old Qin called out to him, "Young Master Zhao, wait up a second."

Zhao Shun braked and asked, "Elder Qin, is there something you need?"

Old Qin smiled and said, "Young Master Zhao, could you give someone a lift to the train station?"

Zhao Shun smiled, "Sure, Elder Qin, it’s no big deal."

After saying this, he turned his gaze to Luo Qiao standing aside, "Is it this young lady?"

Old Qin smiled, "Yes, if you can take her to the train station, that would be great, to save her the walk. There are fewer passing carts in the afternoon, and I’m worried she might miss her train."

Zhao Shun laughed, "Alright, then let’s go."

After bidding farewell to Elder Qin, Luo Qiao got a lift to the train station.

Old Qin watched Luo Qiao go off into the distance until he could no longer see her. Only then did he turn back to the gatehouse, thinking to himself that Old Lady Luo really didn’t dote on her granddaughter in vain.

Entering the gatehouse and seeing the items on the table, he was initially startled but then, remembering something, he slapped his thigh, "Oh boy, this child, she really is...ah, why did she leave behind so much? This girl, ah, she’s a good kid."

Before long, someone from the farm came over and chatted with Elder Qin at the main gate. When Luo Qiao was mentioned, Elder Qin also shared the story of Luo Tianming and his wife’s troubles in passing.

Upon arriving at the train station, Luo Qiao graciously thanked the eldest son of the Zhao Family and, before leaving, she grabbed a handful of fruit candies from her pocket and placed them into the basket hanging on Zhao Shun’s bicycle handle, then she dashed off.

She had inquired when getting off the train earlier that there would be a train heading towards Capital City at six in the evening. Luo Qiao straightaway bought her ticket, then went to the wonton stall outside the station to eat a bowl of wontons before finding a shady spot to sit and wait for the train.

In Ji City, ever since Luo Tianming and Feng Hui had that fight, the couple would quarrel over just a few words upon seeing each other, causing the neighbors to complain bitterly and wishing they would just leave.

Under these circumstances, Luo Bin would hang out with the riffraff in the streets all day, idling his time away and occasionally getting up to petty thievery.
