Chapter 412: Chapter 412: Really Unworrisome

She turned around and asked, "Big cousin, where’s the kid?"

Ning Lingshan replied, "The child is too young, and it’s cold today, so my mother-in-law didn’t let us bring him over."

Luo Qiao directly handed over the red envelope she was holding: "Then you keep this for your little nephew for me, it’s a little something from his maternal cousin aunt. Make sure you don’t refuse it."

Ning Lingshan had initially intended to refuse, given that Luo Qiao was still a student, and it seemed somewhat inappropriate.

Luo Siyuan said, "Take it, our Qiaoqiao has income from her writings. Although she is still studying, she has a steady income now. Since it’s her goodwill, you should accept it for the little nephews and nieces."

Luo Qiao had felt a bit guilty for accepting the meeting gifts from her big uncle and second uncle last time, and thought of giving red envelopes to the two kids for a festive and happy occasion.

Her big uncle’s second cousin Ning Lingxuan and third cousin Ning Lingyu were twins, and her second uncle’s fourth cousin Ning Lingyuan and fifth cousin Ning Linghan were also twins.

By this time everyone had entered the room, and Aunt Zhang Yuehua said, "You had me worried sick, just listening to you talking outside without coming in."

Aunt Zhang was holding her seven-month-old son Ning Lingyu in her arms, a child born late in life, younger than her own grandson.

Luo Qiao laughed and quietly said to her fourth brother, "Auntie is really brave."

Luo Siyuan smiled and said, "Indeed, you don’t know, but this little cousin was hard-won. If anyone had objected back then, he certainly wouldn’t have stayed around."

Luo Qiao also prepared a red envelope for this little cousin today, and Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Lingyu, your cousin has given you a red envelope. Here’s to our Lingyu growing up healthy. Let’s accept it."

Zhang Yuehua noticed that Ning Xueling had been quiet: "Xueling, what’s wrong?"

Luo Haotian helped to explain, "She might have gotten inflamed from being too busy before the New Year, these past few days her throat hasn’t been well, so she can’t speak."

As soon as Luo Haotian finished speaking, big uncle Ning Hongda looked at his sister Ning Xueling, thinking to himself that she must be causing trouble again. He couldn’t understand why she wouldn’t just enjoy her life and be content.

Alas, none of her children felt close to her, and instead of looking for the reasons within herself, she’d wait until they became completely disillusioned with her. One day, she would regret it.

After chatting for a while, Luo Qiao saw that her big uncle and second uncle had called her parents away. With so many people present and only her second aunt and cousin busy working, she took Ning Lingyu out with her, ready to help out.

No sooner had they stepped out when her big cousin and second cousin also came out, and the four of them walked towards the kitchen together.

When second Aunt Feng Caiqin saw them entering, she said, "Qiaoqiao, let your cousins take you to play. The kitchen is full of fumes, and the food will take a while longer. Have them show you around the environment here."

Luo Qiao smiled and replied, "It won’t be too late to go later. Second aunt, if there’s anything we can do, I’ve been cooking since I was very young."

Upon hearing this, Feng Caiqin felt a pang of heartache. It was a tragedy that a good child like her had been swapped by that wicked woman and suffered so much, while that Zhao Jianing was pampered and enjoying the life meant for Qiaoqiao.

Fearing that refusing again would make Luo Qiao overthink, Feng Caiqin said, "Then, Qiaoqiao, help your aunt soak the black fungus."

Then, addressing her daughter and niece who had followed them in, she instructed, "Find something to do for yourselves. Once we’re done here, you can show Qiaoqiao around the neighborhood, get to know the people at our neighbors’ houses, so when Qiaoqiao comes over next time, they’ll recognize her."

In Qingshan Village, early in the morning, the peace at Zhao Changlin’s home was shattered by a rapid knocking on the door.

Zhao Changlin opened the door only to see it was his younger brother’s wife, Zhao Xiaoyun: "Xiaoyun, what’s the matter?"

Zhao Xiaoyun, out of breath, said, "Uncle, you need to come quick, my sister and the others have started fighting again. My dad can’t pull them apart on his own, and he just got hurt."

At that moment, Zhao Changlin’s wife also came out from inside the house, and her face showed displeasure upon hearing this news: "What a way to start the New Year, really worrying. They can’t seem to last a day without causing a scene."

Zhao Changlin was also not pleased inside, but now that they had come to him, he couldn’t just ignore it. He said to his wife, "Say less, I’ll go take a look. You prepare breakfast at home."
