Reborn as a Superpower Girl in the 80s
Chapter 352: You Really Put Heart into It

The government officials issued a donation certificate and expressed a few words of thanks before leaving, and then they also took away the eldest son of the Yang Family and his family.

Only after the onlookers outside the courtyard dispersed did Elder Yang turn to Luo Qiao and Yuan Jiayi who were standing aside and say, "I apologize for the scene you witnessed. Please come inside and sit down."

As Luo Qiao entered and set down her things, she noticed Grandma Yang, who still hadn’t recovered from the shock, "You still have me. I will take good care of you."

Grandma Yang immediately burst into tears, "My dear child, we were really left with no choice. If we hadn’t done this, I’m afraid we couldn’t have saved him."

Luo Qiao, somewhat confused, looked towards Grandpa Yang.

Grandpa Yang said, "Shumin, stop crying, don’t scare them."

After Grandma Yang dried her tears, she said, "I’m really sorry, you shouldn’t have had to see this."

It wasn’t until Grandma Yang had calmed down a bit that Grandpa Yang explained why they had to donate the money. It turned out that their eldest son had been tricked into gambling away money not long ago, and the person who had set him up was actually an acquaintance.

That person was targeting the money of the Old Couple Yang, but the eldest son was not listening to anyone else’s advice, convincing his family that he wanted to get money from them. The other two families were also afraid he would give the money to Big Brother in private, so they kept causing trouble every other day.

For the sum of money in their possession, they had been extremely vigilant over the year, and under others’ influence, they’d somehow come to believe that the money should rightfully be theirs. The eldest son thought that, even if he lost some money, the old couple would surely not let him suffer without helping.

Old Master Yang then decided to donate all the money, to put to rest their greedy expectations, encouraging them to be honest and upright instead of always hoping for unearned benefits.

After learning the truth, Luo Qiao admired the Old Couple Yang’s actions greatly. When she was on the farm, Old Couple Yang would not let her call them masters, saying they feared if something were to happen, it could involve her. However, they had taught everything they knew to their protégée.

Even though their children and grandchildren might not understand their intentions, they resolutely donated a large sum of money. Their breadth of mind and spirit deserved respect.

Luo Qiao comforted Grandma Yang for a while, then they talked about Luo Qiao’s life and studies. Luo Qiao took out the tea leaves and skincare products she had made.

This lifted the spirits of the old couple, and Luo Qiao also recounted her acupuncture session that day to Elder Yang, sharing her diagnoses and speculations for analysis, prompting a thoughtful discussion between them.

Seeing that they were discussing serious matters, Grandma Yang went to the kitchen to prepare food. Yuan Jiayi, finding no opportunity to join the conversation, also volunteered to help in the kitchen.

After the master and apprentice finished talking, Grandma Yang had also finished cooking. They then moved to the dining table. Grandpa Yang could no longer perform acupuncture because his hand had been crushed under someone’s foot when he was persecuted.

Today, hearing that Luo Qiao had started performing acupuncture and was very successful at it made him truly excited; his medical skills would be carried on.

Now that both were contributing their remaining energy at the school and had returned to lecturing, they were filled with mixed emotions. Today Old Master Yang’s mood swung from joy to sorrow, and he ended up drinking too much and fell asleep. His temperament when drunk was good; when he had too much, he simply slept.

After helping tidy up and checking Grandpa Yang’s pulse, Luo Qiao sat down with Grandma Yang for another chat. Once assured Grandpa Yang was fine, Luo Qiao and Yuan Jiayi bid farewell and left.

The Yang family lived in a single-story house, which would require a stove to be warm in the winter as there was no central heating in the area. So, Luo Qiao decided to return to stay with the Yuan Family to avoid causing inconvenience to Grandma Yang.

After Luo Qiao and the others had left, Grandma Yang, tidying up, found a package of medicinal herbs in the gifts brought by Luo Qiao. They were all high-quality tonifying herbs, which moved Yang Shumin to tears.

The child must have long known about their family’s situation and prepared these fine herbs fearing the old couple couldn’t withstand their ordeals. She was truly thoughtful.
