Chapter 289: Not Seizing Credit

Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Not Seizing Credit

Old Master Yuan didn’t claim any credit and said with a smile, "The main thing is that the girl has a good talent, I really can’t take the credit for that."

Suddenly, Luo Qiao became famous in the courtyard, and someone came up to ask, "Young lady, how old are you, have you thought about joining the military?"

Luo Qiao replied with a smile, "I’m still in school right now, I haven’t considered these things yet, I just want to get into a good university."

Luo Qiao thought about how she studied design in her previous life; in this life, she would either apply for medical school or aim for Beijing Foreign Studies University. Joining the military hadn’t really crossed her mind.

Old Master Yuan dismissed the people outside the courtyard, then turned to a few of his grandsons and said, "How about that, I didn’t brag, did I? You didn’t believe me, but now are you convinced?"

The grandsons nodded hurriedly, Yuan Jiaming said, "Grandpa, I think even the top soldiers in the military might not be able to beat Sister Luo Qiao."

Old Master Yuan nodded with a chuckle and looked at Luo Qiao, "I didn’t expect you to have improved so much in just a year, it seems your talent is even better than I imagined."

Then he said with a laugh, "You’re covered in sweat, go and wash up."

Talking to the guard behind him, he said, "Xiao Zhang, go and get her some clothes to change into later."

Luo Qiao said, "Grandpa Yuan, that’s not necessary, I’ve brought a set with me in my bag, I can just change into that."

Once inside the house, Luo Qiao took the mushroom meat sauce she had prepared in advance out of her bag, "Grandpa Yuan, this is the mushroom meat sauce I made myself. I brought a few bottles for you to try, and if you like it, I can send you more later."

Old Master Yuan said with a smile, "Then I am indeed fortunate."

Luo Qiao, carrying her clothes, followed Nanny Chen to the washroom. After Nanny Chen showed her around, she left; she still had a dish simmering on the stove.

Back in the kitchen, seeing her daughter helping her with the vegetables, she felt comforted and said, "Si Si, I’ve got it under control. We have plenty of time, you go play with them for a while. Tomorrow you’ll be going back to school."

Aisiss didn’t stop her hands and asked, "Mom, who is that girl?"

Auntie Chen replied with a smile, "She is a granddaughter recognized by the old Marshal at the farm, personally taught in martial arts. Now that it’s National Day holiday, she came to visit the old Marshal."

Aisiss said, "It seems like the Yuan family people all like her a lot."

Auntie Chen continued to chop the vegetables in her hands and said, "There aren’t many granddaughters in the Yuan family to begin with, only Jia Ning from both branches, so of course they’re happy to have another one.

Besides, this girl knows how to deal with people. She had previously sent some homemade food to the old Marshal a few times. You wouldn’t believe it but everything she makes is delicious – the old Marshal was all smiles for days after receiving those gifts."

Aisiss was almost crushing the vegetables in her hands, feeling an uncomfortable tightness in her heart. She had been part of this family since junior high, coming over on Sundays and holidays, yet they always treated her with polite distance.

Especially Jia Ning: no matter how much she tried to please her, it was no use. Jia Ning would be somewhat considerate in front of the elders, but privately she made no secret of her dislike.

Yet today, Jia Ning hit it off with Luo Qiao, whom she had just met. It was truly disconcerting.

Auntie Chen turned and noticed her daughter’s actions, at first startled, then realizing something, she patted her shoulder, "Si Si, you’re mashing the vegetables.

Our current life was not easily come by. If it wasn’t for the old Marshal taking pity on your father and offering us this job, who knows whether we would be alive or dead. We should be content and cherish our blessings.

I know what’s on your mind, but some things are simply beyond our reach. Don’t do something that puts your mother in a difficult position; otherwise, we might not even have a place to live.

After your grandmother passed, when have your aunts ever shown us a kind face when they visited? And as for your grandma, let’s not even mention her - aside from reaching out for her living expenses, she probably wouldn’t care to remember us.

Nowadays, our good days feel almost like they were stolen, so Si Si, you must cherish them. Focus on your studies, and with the old Marshal looking out for you, he will surely arrange a good job for you. Then, I can rest easy."

Aisiss, growing impatient with her mother’s nagging, still replied, "I know, Mom."
