Chapter 311: Chapter 311 Declare Position

After the inspection team and the excellent teachers from various counties and towns left, the city’s No. 1 Middle School also ushered in this semester’s mid-term exam. Luo Qiao’s deskmate Xiao Ya grabbed Luo Qiao before the exam and said, "Luo Qiao, aren’t you nervous at all?"

Luo Qiao said with a bit of a laugh, "Nervousness will only affect one’s performance. Just treat it with a normal heart."

After listening to Luo Qiao’s words, Xiao Ya thought about it and felt it indeed made sense. If she really flunked the exam, she could simply increase her study efforts in the latter half of the semester.

Luo Qiao was always the first to finish each subject and would then carefully review her work before waiting to hand in her test. She didn’t hand in any of her papers early, simply because she didn’t want to disturb others.

The three days of exams passed quickly, and some in the class exclaimed that math and physics were too difficult, complaining that there wasn’t enough time.

Lu Yichen had contacted the agricultural machinery station in advance, asking them to bring a lot of sweet potatoes and potatoes into the city for Luo Qiao. There were also some leftovers in the village that might occasionally be needed when she returned to the village. It was always necessary to maintain appearances.

Luo Qiao had gone back to the village and negotiated the contracting of the Thorn Forest at the Foot of Daqing Mountain. That patch covered more than seventy mu, and together with the thirty-plus mu next to the pond on the slope, including the pond itself, it was rounded up to a hundred mu total.

The village cadres had no experience with such matters, saying that they needed approval from the commune and that the specific amount for the annual contract still had to be discussed with the commune leaders before a decision could be made.

After all, they too were "crossing the river by feeling for the stones" and feared making mistakes. So they told Luo Qiao to wait for news with peace of mind.

When the grades were released, Xiao Ya was utterly in awe of Luo Qiao, her eyes shining as she said, "Luo Qiao, from now on I’m going to follow you around."

Luo Qiao’s top-ranking scores in the whole grade level made her a hot topic once again.

Time flew by until, in late December, a call came through to Lu Yichen’s workplace from Qingshan Village, asking him to inform Luo Qiao that she could contract the land, but since she was still a minor, she couldn’t complete the process, so the matter was put on hold.

Afterward, as the weather grew colder, Luo Qiao went back once more, stored the vegetables from the backyard into her space, and didn’t plan to return to the village in the short term.

At the same time, Zhao Jianing had been perpetually waiting for her foster mother Ning Xueling, who had failed to appear because Luo Haotian had made the call directly to his third son, Luo Siyan, and fourth son, Luo Siyuan.

That evening, the father and two sons returned home and laid their cards on the table with Ning Xueling. If she decided to support Zhao Jianing, then it would mean forsaking her husband and sons and abandoning the family; they asked her not to blame them for making their choices when the time came.

Ning Xueling didn’t expect her husband and sons to say such things and was a bit unable to accept it at first. However, the third son bluntly stated that if she were to contact and support Zhao Jianing, he would never return to this home again.

Then the fourth son also showed his support, saying, "Mom, do you ever feel you owe your daughter an apology? Over the years, you’ve given all your love to Jianing. You were so disappointing when your daughter came back for the National Day holiday. I was ready to give you some time, but now I’ve retracted that thought.

Have you ever considered that your daughter’s misfortune was caused by Jianing’s biological mother? She arranged for her daughter to enjoy the good life in our family, while your own flesh and blood suffered for over a decade.

I can understand that you might be having trouble accepting this for a moment, but it’s been several months now. If you can’t face it, I’m afraid you’ll lose all five of us siblings. You decide."

Seeing his two sons leave one after another, Luo Haotian said, "Xueling, I know you’ve had a particularly unpleasant rift with your parents because of the eldest and the second. It’s only because of our daughter that there has been a chance for reconciliation with your side of the family.

These years have been painful for you; you feel guilty towards your sons, and your parents didn’t allow you to see them because of what happened back then. Later, the third and fourth grew up mostly with their grandparents, and only Jianing was always with you, accompanying you through the hardest years.

I understand all of that, but Jianing is not our daughter. She was schemed into our family by her biological mother, while the daughter you nearly died giving birth to was swapped and suffered all these years.

Your daughter was treasured like a pearl in your hands all these years, Xueling. Please think about it carefully. I can understand if you don’t know how to interact with your daughter just yet.

However, if you’re harboring thoughts of having the best of both worlds, then I think I would end our marriage for the sake of my daughter. I don’t want her to stay away from me because of your indecisiveness."

So, Zhao Jianing in Qingshan Village could long for it as much as she wanted but never received a call or remittance from her foster mother, let alone the possibility of being picked up to return to the Capital.

Luo Qiao, after receiving a phone call from her fourth brother and learning about Zhao Jianing’s actions, was quite pleased with her father and brothers’ handling of the situation and happily agreed to return to the Capital for New Year’s Day.

Luo Haotian also told the two older uncles about the situation, asking them to give their sister a good talking to so she wouldn’t do anything foolish, all the while clarifying his own stance.
