Chapter 304: Chapter 304 You Have to Be More Vigilant Tonight

Luo Qiao chuckled, "I also need to make a trip to the team leader’s place. Grandpa Lin, please take good care of yourself. I’ll be on my way. You guys go ahead and eat."

After Luo Qiao left, Old Lady Lin began cleaning up and only then discovered that there was still twenty dollars in the oil paper package. Tears immediately welled up in her eyes. Fearing that the old man would see, she forcefully held back from making a sound.

All these years, on the few occasions their daughter came home, she had never left them any money, yet now, someone with no relation to them had given them so much help. This filled her heart with warmth, yet also left her somewhat at a loss.

Clutching the twenty-dollar bill, not knowing what to do with it, she thought about how she still had to go over and help out the next day. She would see them then and pay it back. They, the elderly couple, already owed enough to others. They really couldn’t accept the money.

Luo Qiao took a detour to Auntie’s house on her way. The family was in the middle of dinner, and Luo Qiao didn’t enter the courtyard. She called out from beyond the gate, "Auntie, thank you for speaking up for me last time. It saved me from a lot of trouble.

These are something I made, just following the recipe for mooncakes. I’ve brought them over for you to try. Don’t feel offended if it’s too little."

The auntie laughed, "You’re too polite, my girl. It was they who were wrong, I didn’t do anything special."

Luo Qiao smiled, "If everyone thought like you, that would be great. I’ll be on my way then, I won’t disturb your meal."

After watching Luo Qiao walk away, the auntie took the cakes back to the table and gave each family member a piece, urging them all to try it. The youngest son took a bite and said, "It’s really tasty, Mom, it’s so delicious."

Seeing that their mom didn’t have one, he lifted his own piece to her mouth saying, "Mom, take a bite, it’s truly exceptionally good."

Luo Qiao turned a corner and arrived outside Accountant Sun’s house, standing at the entrance she asked, "Is Auntie Caifeng home?"

Ding Caifeng had just finished washing the dishes when she heard someone outside, "Who’s there?"

"Auntie Caifeng, it’s me, Luo Qiao."

"Oh my, Luo Qiao, come on in, quick. Are you back for Sunday?"

"Yes, I just came back to sort out the private plot of land. Did Uncle Sun go out?"

"He just went out after dinner, probably to have a chat by the bridge. Are you looking for him?"

"No, not really. I made some snacks and brought some over for you to try. They taste like mooncakes, they’re not made very well, so don’t be too critical."

"You’re being too courteous. How could I accept this?"

"Please take them. I genuinely wanted to bring them to you. Ever since I arrived in the village, you and uncle have helped me a lot. I’ve always kept it in mind. It’s not much, but it’s a token of my gratitude."

"Ah, you kid, then thank you," she said.

"Alright, auntie, I’ll leave you to it. I’ll be going now."

"Hold on, Luo Qiao, wait a moment. I have something to tell you."

Ding Caifeng glanced around and, pulling Luo Qiao indoors, said, "Luo Qiao, when you come back, you must be careful with those families. I reckon they might look for a chance to get back at you. They can’t do it openly, but who knows what they might do behind the scenes. Be extra cautious at night and don’t fall for their tricks."

Luo Qiao replied, "I’ll keep that in mind, auntie. Thank you for the warning, I’ll be careful."

Luo Qiao left Accountant Sun’s house and then headed for the team leader’s home, thinking to herself that if they dared come, this time she would send them deep into the mountains—whether they lived or died would be a matter of their own luck.

As Auntie Gao saw Luo Qiao coming in, she walked over with a smile, "Did you go to your parents’ place during the National Day holiday?"

Luo Qiao smiled, "Yes, I went back to the farm to tend to Grandma Luo’s grave, then I had a trip up to Capital City. It was a tight schedule."

Auntie Gao, somewhat puzzled, asked, "Luo Qiao, since they came looking and you’ve recognized each other, why don’t you want to go back with them to Capital City?"

Luo Qiao replied, "After all, we haven’t lived together for over a decade. We need to get reacquainted and adjust. Besides, I’m happy at Capital City No. 1 Middle School. The school waives tuition and miscellaneous fees for me, and I don’t want to relocate again."

Auntie Gao nodded, "You’re right. Hey, it’s all Gao Suhua’s shameless deeds that brought harm to others and herself."

Luo Qiao chuckled and asked, "How has Zhao Jianing been lately?"
