Chapter 345: Chapter 345: Human Desire Is Never Satisfied

She originally wanted to give gifts to a few classmates from well-off families, hoping to bond with them and pave a new path for herself. If she couldn’t get into college in the future, maybe she could rely on these classmates’ connections to find a decent job, without always begging the Yuan Family.

She also wanted to scheme against Luo Qiao by letting the Yuan Family think that she sent only a small amount of stuff. After all, Luo Qiao wouldn’t be able to ask exactly how much was consumed later on. Let the Yuan Family think she was stingy!

When she heard a classmate saying someone was looking for her and saw Yuan Weicheng and Yuan Jiayi, Yuan Jiaze, she had a bad premonition and feared the gig was up.

The first thing Yuan Weicheng did when he returned to the compound was to revoke Aisiss’s free access rights and said that Auntie Chen would also have to register whenever she went out.

The disappointment of the Yuan Family was inevitable. When Old Master Yuan returned and learned about the Ai family’s situation, he declined the person assigned by the organization and asked Auntie Chen to help at home, wanting to lend a hand to the wife and daughter of a deceased subordinate.

After Aisiss’s father, Ai Hongqi, sacrificed his life, all of his pension was clutched by his parents’ hands, leaving Aisiss and her mother in the family as if they were punching bags.

Because she hadn’t given birth to a son, she was looked down upon by her mother-in-law. Later, after the death of Ai Hongqi, even Aisiss’s chance to study was stripped away. It was only after Old Master Yuan learned of the situation that she was given the opportunity to study again.

Auntie Chen was too ashamed to continue working, and though the Yuan Family didn’t say it, they were also upset. It was precisely at this time that the Ai family sent word that Ai Hongqi’s two younger brothers had an accident in the mountains and suffered serious injuries.

The pension from Ai Hongqi had been used by the Ai family to build a tiled house, and the money on hand wasn’t enough to treat the Ai brothers’ illnesses, so the Ai family sent a message asking for an additional five yuan per month.

Auntie Chen earned twenty-five yuan a month working for the Yuan Family. She used to give the Ai family ten yuan every month, so she and her daughter could save a bit from the remaining fifteen yuan, after Aisiss’s expenses.

But now, with the Ai family demanding fifteen yuan, she and her daughter would only have ten yuan left. If she lost this job, where else could she go? But if she didn’t give the Ai family the money, given their character, they would definitely make a scene here.

If she lost the job, her daughter couldn’t continue her studies, and returning to the Ai family would mean reliving a life worse than death. That’s why she apologized to the Yuan Family and, invoking her late husband, begged them to keep her on.

In the end, Old Master Yuan decided to keep her, but everyone’s attitude toward Auntie Chen had changed significantly, and important matters were no longer discussed in her presence.

Aisiss had already attracted Song Huizhen’s attention with her performance last time, and before she had time to figure out how to get rid of her, Aisiss took the initiative to do so, thus sealing her own fate.

Luo Qiao didn’t expect that just sending some things over would lead to such a big incident, no wonder Auntie Chen looked so unnatural when she saw her earlier.

Upon arriving at the Zhong Family, Old Master Yuan shouted as he entered the yard, "Old Zhong, look who I’ve brought to see you!"

Members of the Zhong Family pushed Grandpa Zhong out in his wheelchair, and they saw Old Master Yuan followed by Yuan Jiayi and a young girl.

Grandpa Zhong smiled and said, "Where did you kidnap this little girl from?"

Master Yuan said, "She’s not kidnapped, she’s my god-granddaughter Luo Qiao."

Grandpa Zhong laughed, "So this is the girl they’ve been talking about, quite impressive indeed. How old is this young lady?"

Luo Qiao replied confidently, "Sir, I am fifteen years old this year."

Zhong Hongjun looked at Luo Qiao with a smile, "Good, very good, you’re quite the catch. From now on, just call me Grandpa Zhong like Jiayi and the others do."

Luo Qiao smiled and greeted, "Hello, Grandpa Zhong."

Zhong Hongjun laughed heartily, "Good, good. Have you ever thought about joining the military?"

Luo Qiao was unsure how to respond. The elderly commanders in the compound generally liked young people with good physical skills, hoping to recruit them into the military to serve the country. Luo Qiao could understand their feelings.

But she was planning to apply to medical school. If she answered no directly, just like the last time, would Grandpa Zhong be disappointed? She pondered over how to reply.
