Chapter 460: Chapter 460 Nobody Wants to Feel Uncomfortable

Last time he visited, his second son Xuyuan was also able to go out for walks on his own. As long as the distance wasn’t too far, he basically had no problems. Now, every morning, he would take one or two laps around the small grove behind their house.

Some days ago, he also passed the school’s examination. Someone had taken care of enrolling him in school on his behalf, and by now, he had finished reviewing all his high school textbooks. These days, aside from tutoring Big Brother in cultural courses, he was busy solving practice problems.

All of this had been brought on by his daughter. Luo Haotian looked up at Luo Qiao with eyes full of gratitude and doting.

Luo Qiao said, "Dad, on our way back, we saw Qiao Meng at Deputy Director Qiao’s doorstep. Has she moved back in now?"

Luo Haotian said, "A few days ago, Qiao Meng’s stepmother didn’t want her to continue studying and found her a temporary job, telling her to work to support herself. She threw tantrums at home several times to no avail; her father didn’t dare interfere.

Yesterday afternoon, she ran out from home and came over to seek Deputy Director Qiao’s support."

Luo Qiao said, "So, is there an outcome?"

Luo Haotian said, "Last night, Qiao Meng’s dad and stepmother came over and had a fight. Her stepmother made a harsh statement: either their senior house takes charge, or they should stay out of their junior house’s affairs. After dropping this ultimatum, she dragged Qiao Meng’s dad away with her."

Luo Siyuan, while swallowing a mouthful of food, said, "Qiao Meng is so scheming, like a sieve. She actually wanted this to happen. She probably couldn’t even get enough to eat at her birth father’s place and must have been looking for an opportunity to return to her uncle’s house early on."

Luo Siyan, who usually spoke little, actually joined in, "Perhaps Deputy Director Qiao’s younger brother and his wife had the same idea and just fell in with Qiao Meng’s wishes.

Initially, they didn’t want to take Qiao Meng back. Now with all this drama, the people are gone, which fits right in with her stepmother’s wishes. Qiao Meng’s birth father, being a man, surely wouldn’t have been unable to take charge of his own household. It’s likely that this situation also suited him. He just went with the flow.

His daughter doesn’t have to stay at home anymore; living with Big Brother, she has a good life and education and gets to eat well. And if she becomes successful one day, she won’t need to look after them. This man has made a really cunning calculation."

Luo Qiao felt that her third brother was right; regardless, Qiao Meng’s father and stepmother wouldn’t be at a loss. Either she goes to work, or she stays at her uncle’s place. This whole family is truly a shrewd bunch.

Luo Haotian said, "Qiaoqiao, when you leave this afternoon, take some of the dried vegetables from the kitchen cabinet for your grandparents. They mentioned a few days ago when your Big Brother brought some, they really enjoyed it."

Luo Qiao laughed and said, "That’s no problem. I’ll dry more this year. By the time the fresh vegetables come in, he will probably be tired of eating them."

The family ate their meal in high spirits, and not a single person brought up Ning Xueling; no one wanted to feel uncomfortable.

After dinner, Luo Qiao cleaned the kitchen while Luo Siyan and Luo Siyuan began to clean upstairs and downstairs. Luo Haotian wasn’t idle either; he tidied up the yard. After finishing, Luo Qiao called them over for tea.

Luo Qiao was brewing Biluochun tea. Luo Haotian came in after washing his hands and said, "I could smell the fragrance of tea from afar."

Luo Qiao asked, "This tea is good, where did you buy it from?"

Luo Haotian took a closer look and said, "Last time a comrade-in-arms came to Capital City on business, he brought it for me. I’ve been reluctant to drink it until now."

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "If you like it, just brew it and drink. When I head south next time, I’ll bring some back for you. Have you finished the tea I brought you last time?"

Upon hearing his daughter ask about the tea, Luo Haotian’s smile vanished, "Your mother took all of it to give away. I only had it once when you came back."

After hearing this, Luo Qiao liked Ning Xueling even less, "Then why didn’t you say so? I still have some. I’ll bring it over next time I come back. From now on, I’ll take care of your tea."

Luo Haotian laughed, "Not just yet, you’re still in school. Wait until you start working, then you can take care of Dad’s tea."

Luo Qiao smiled, didn’t continue the conversation, but kept the matter in mind.

Luo Siyuan came over, took a sip from his tea cup, and commented, "It’s fragrant and strong, and there’s a sweet aftertaste. This tea is indeed excellent."

Luo Haotian said, "You cheeky kid, could it be bad when my comrade-in-arms sent it? Their family hails from a tea-producing region."
