Chapter 307: Chapter 307: Whether to Live or Die, Let’s Leave it to Fate

Approaching noon, Luo Qiao said, "Grandma Lin, I wasn’t lying, was I? I really can’t finish all this. I’ll bring some over tonight, and you mustn’t decline."

This time Old Lady Lin didn’t say much but took out the twenty yuan from her pocket and handed it to Luo Qiao, "I’ll shamelessly accept the food, but I really can’t take the money."

Luo Qiao said, "Grandma Lin, you know my situation. I’ve recognized my birth parents, and when I went to Capital City during the National Day, I received so many red envelopes that I’m truly well-off now.

This money doesn’t come with any strings attached. I just thought that if you run into an emergency, it’ll be convenient to have some cash on hand. These twenty yuan aren’t of much use to me now, but it’s different for you. Can you understand what I mean?"

Old Lady Lin wiped her eyes with her sleeve, "I know, it might even be lifesaving money, but your Grandpa Lin’s hospital stay already cost you quite a bit. I truly feel ashamed."

Luo Qiao said, "Look at me now, I’ve found my parents, and the days ahead won’t be as hard. Isn’t this my good fortune? Can you still fuss about such things with me within my means?"

In the end, Old Lady Lin relented and carefully put away the money.

The entire afternoon was spent tidying up the homestead. After dark, Luo Qiao stealthily brought five big baskets of sweet potatoes and three baskets of potatoes to the Old Couple of the Lin family.

With these sweet potatoes and the soon-to-be-distributed grain, she hoped they wouldn’t have to worry about food this winter. Later on, she could occasionally supplement their diet with finer grains. She sighed at the prospect.

At night, Luo Qiao partially stored the goods in a cellar and some in her space, exhausting Stone in the process. She made up a bed for him in the next room, letting him wash up and go to sleep.

Luo Qiao herself was quite tired today. After securing the front door, she entered her space, indulged in a nice bath, and got ready to rest there, when suddenly she remembered the instructions from the accountant’s wife.

She quickly dressed and left the space. She was very tired today and feared she wouldn’t hear anything from outside if she slept in her space. After exiting the courtyard and setting things up, she finally returned to her room to sleep.

The mattress on the bed was freshly taken out from her space. The previous one had been taken by the Cui brothers, but the Zhao Family had compensated her with cloth and cotton.

She barely lay down before falling into deep sleep, only to be startled awake in the middle of the night by the sound of a shovel hitting the ground. It took her a moment to think that someone might be up to no good outside.

She got up unhurriedly, took the sleeping powder from her space, put on her shoes and sat by the bed with her eyes closed, waiting for someone to come in.

After a while, she heard someone outside whisper, "Be careful not to wake her up."

"Dad, can we really do this? What if she reports us to the police tomorrow?"

"She won’t know who did it. There are others in this village who have grudges against her besides us."

With her eyes closed, Luo Qiao heard everything clearly. She tiptoed to the door and peeked through the crack, seeing two people each holding a bottle. What were they planning?

She then saw Zhang Dezheng pour the contents of the bottle alongside the house, and she smelled kerosene. Her spirits lifted, understanding their intent to commit deliberate murder.

True to their kin!

Luo Qiao quietly opened the door crack and scattered the sleeping powder outside. Soon, she heard two thuds as bodies hit the ground. Opening the door for a better look, she saw both had fallen unconscious.

Stepping outside, Luo Qiao looked down at the two men, first collecting their bottles of kerosene into her space. She then washed the kerosene-soaked ground back and forth seven or eight times with water until she could barely smell the kerosene before stopping.

After taking the men into her space, she climbed over the backyard wall and headed towards Daqing Mountain. Nearly an hour later, she dropped Zhang Dezheng and his son outside and decided to let them fend for themselves from there.

Luo Qiao didn’t want to cause any more trouble. Since they’d shown no kindness, she had no obligation to do so either. Their fate was now up to destiny.

Returning the same way, she used her Special Ability to make the path she trod appear untouched, making it impossible to see that anyone had passed by. She then went back inside, entered her space, changed clothes, and went to sleep.
