Chapter 430: Chapter 430 Tears that Rip through the Heart

Sending Lu Yichen on his way, Luo Qiao entered the space for her usual routine of punching and yoga. After a soak in the bath, she picked up a book to read. She had nearly finished reading all the medical books in the space.

In her free time, she also followed the prescriptions from the books to concoct some medicines, but many of them had not yet been tested for efficacy. At this moment, she thought of the medicine she used on Luo Tianming and his wife.

At first, the medicine made the body go limp, but if used three times in a row, she feared they’d suffer from poor health for the rest of their lives. So, it was best if they did not provoke her.

Meanwhile, Luo Tianming and his wife, the very ones Luo Qiao had on her mind, were negotiating with the eldest brother’s family. Why the negotiation? Because they had no other choice; tomorrow was the day to pay up.

They planned to sell the few rooms they lived in to the eldest brother and find another place to live afterward. Luo Tiancheng and his wife were willing to buy, but the price had not yet been settled.

Luo Tianming said, "Big Brother, you’ve seen so many houses recently, so you know the current house prices. I won’t ask for much, and don’t you lowball me either. If I didn’t need the money, I would never sell the house."

Eldest brother’s wife Qiao Juan said, "Second brother, rest assured that we’ll give a fair price. Five hundred won’t be too shabby."

Feng Hui retorted, "Five hundred and you call that fair, Eldest Sister-in-law? In that case, we might as well sell to someone else. Tianming thought we should ask Big Brother first before looking elsewhere, afraid it might be inconvenient for another family to move in.

But here you are offering five hundred for both the house and courtyard, claiming it’s fair. Are you planning to kick us while we’re down?"

Luo Tiancheng, too, knew that five hundred was indeed not a lot. Looking at his second brother, who had kept his head down in silence, he said, "Then let’s make it seven hundred. If that works for you, we’ll transfer the deed tomorrow.

Once you’ve found a place, you can move out, but you can stay no longer than half a month. You all know Taozi has found a match, and we’ve been house hunting lately, so we need to start fixing up the wedding house."

Luo Tianming nodded in agreement. Qiao Juan, extra cautious, decided to call a few neighbors as witnesses tomorrow, to avoid future hassle.

The next day, Luo Qiao got up early to cook. Soon after, Lu Yichen and Stone arrived. After eating, Luo Qiao prepared some food for Lu Yichen to eat in the car, and then they pushed their belongings toward the railway station.

After coming out of the train station, Luo Qiao rode her bike with Stone to the elementary school gate before heading home.

Since she had some free time today, she took out the fabric she had brought back and prepared to make a few pieces of transitional clothing for Stone and herself. This way, she could rest easy when she left in a few days.

Luo Tianming and his wife went to the housing authority early in the morning with the eldest family and the neighbors Qiao Juan had brought to handle the transfer. They brought out the testimonial they’d written in advance for everyone to sign. Only then did they hand over the money to the second Luo family in front of witnesses.

Unfortunately, the money lasted little more than an hour in their hands before four hundred eighty was spent, leaving them with two hundred twenty. Feng Hui wept heartbreakingly by the roadside.

She hadn’t cried when she lost her job, thinking that at least she wouldn’t starve with a home and Tianming’s salary. But now that even their house was gone, she couldn’t bear the blow.

Seeing Luo Bin walking out of the village, she rushed over and began beating and kicking him while cursing, "Why can’t you stand up for yourself? Don’t you understand that because of you, our whole family has lost our home? Why are you such a bastard?"

Luo Bin knew something must have gone wrong at home for him to be free of trouble, but he was never close with the Luo family and couldn’t take such a beating from his mother. Angered, he violently pushed Feng Hui, knocking her to the ground.

Feng Hui didn’t see it coming and cried out in pain as her elbow hit the ground. The passersby who were frightened by her screams quickly gathered around, and Luo Tianming, pale with rage, rushed to ask the villagers for help.

At the hospital, the doctor said she had a fracture and needed surgery. There went the rest of the money, how much would be left was anyone’s guess.

Yet that wasn’t the worst of it. Now he had to return to the factory to work, or he’d risk losing his job if things continued like this. But Luo Bin had vanished, forcing him to ask Luo Fei, his ten-year-old daughter, to take time off school to look after her mother.
