Chapter 436: Chapter 436: Dealing with Zhao Jianing

Luo Qiao looked at Zhao Jianing with disdain and continued, "If what you’re saying is true, then I really underestimated how shameless your biological parents could be. If they can’t afford to raise a child, they shouldn’t have one. Is a little less exercise going to kill them? To birth a shameless daughter like you, so desperate for a good life, is just crazy."

Hearing these unbearable words, Zhao Jianing was so angry that she charged at Luo Qiao, who landed a spinning kick on her, sending Zhao Jianing flying two or three meters away, straight into the nearby river.

The river wasn’t deep enough to drown anyone, but Zhao Jianing screamed in fright, and Luo Qiao disdainfully said, "Scream louder, why don’t you? Call all the village ruffians here. They can enjoy the spectacle of your shamelessness."

Luo Qiao then addressed Zhao Pulin, who was hiding by the side of the path, "Your daughter is over there screaming her head off, and here you are hiding. What are you waiting for? Or do you feel too ashamed to show your face?"

After finishing her speech, Luo Qiao said goodbye to Auntie Gao and left without looking back, as she would miss the last bus if she was any later.

By the time she reached the city, it was already dark, and to her surprise, Stone was waiting outside the station. Luo Qiao felt warmth in her heart for a moment, but the next second she was angry. He was pretty bold. What if he met some bad people?

When Stone saw Luo Qiao, he called out, "Sister, over here, I came to pick you up."

Luo Qiao said, "Let’s go, let’s go home."

It wasn’t until they were home that Luo Qiao said, "Stone, I’m really happy you thought to come and meet me today, but do you think it was the right thing to do?"

Stone replied, "Sister, I know what you’re worried about, but I’m grown up now. Besides, I’ve been practicing boxing every day with Big Brother. Also, our house isn’t far from the station. I won’t go there alone again next time."

After hearing Stone’s promise, Luo Qiao finally said, "You’re still young, and what good will your little bit of kung fu do if you really meet some bad people? One chloroform handkerchief would take care of you. What will we do then?"

Stone lowered his head and said, "I get it, Sister. I won’t run off on my own again and will keep practicing every day to master the boxing techniques Brother taught me."

Luo Qiao, seeing that he understood the seriousness of the situation, let the matter go. That evening, she made porridge without cooking any other dishes, just served with the previously pickled spicy white cabbage and radish strips, and steamed a few sticky bean buns that Auntie Gao had brought over."

After dinner, she took Stone back to Lu Yichen’s courtyard, where central heating meant there was no need to kindle a stove in the house anymore.

Once back home, Luo Qiao closed the door, went into her space, and, after her routine workout and a bath, continued writing her novel. In a few more days, this one would also be finished, and she could take it directly to the Capital City.

The time quickly reached Saturday, and after dinner, she had Stone do his homework while she cleaned up the kitchen.

She wrapped the two potted orchids, which she had prepared in plastic sheeting beforehand, with the intention of taking them to Capital City to sell. This way, the money from contracting the land could also find a resolution. The two potted orchids Luo Qiao had raised were especially fine, and anyone who understood and loved orchids would surely like them.

It wasn’t until 9:30 PM that they both left the house, each carrying a pot, heading toward the train station.

Their train was at 10 PM, and Luo Qiao had already bought the sleeper tickets earlier in the day. This way, they could sleep through the journey and not delay the next day’s affairs.

It was Stone’s first time on a train, and he was very excited. After boarding, he touched everything here and there, brimming with curiosity.

They had two tickets, one for the lower berth and one for the middle. Stone chose the middle berth, clambered up swiftly, and then Luo Qiao settled down to rest once the orchids were secure.

She was deep in thought and hadn’t fallen asleep when she started hearing noises from the next compartment. It sounded like a woman in pain.

Then the sounds turned chaotic, and she heard a man say, "Fangfang, don’t scare me. Just hold on; I’ll go find the conductor and see if there’s a doctor on the train."

Hearing the search for a doctor, Luo Qiao quickly sat up and put on her shoes. Soon she heard someone running outside the compartment, and a male voice said, "I don’t know how to deal with childbirth, and besides, my status really doesn’t allow me to get involved."

Luo Qiao went out and said, "I have some knowledge of Chinese medicine. Let me take a look. If you’re not comfortable with that, you can also make an announcement to see if there are any other professional doctors on the train."
