Chapter 465: Chapter 465: No Fondness for Even His Own Mother

It turned out that Wei Hongyan’s maternal family had some connections, suggesting she should learn a musical instrument or take up vocal music or dance lessons. If she mastered a skill, they would help her join the performance troupe in a few years.

Wei Hongyan’s dream was to stand on stage. Knowing that Ning Xueling had several classmates working at the music academy, Wei Zixiong wanted her classmates to help introduce some teachers.

Unfortunately, Wei Hongyan’s natural ability was quite poor. She wasn’t fit for dance, she lacked talent for musical instruments, so they thought that if all else failed, she could opt for vocal music.

They felt Wei Hongyan sang alright, but it was a pity that the teacher today didn’t think she was a rough diamond and even considered her to be slow on the uptake, not material worth shaping, and so declined politely.

Wei Hongyan said this while casting a glance at Ning Xueling, who was sitting off to the side: "What kind of people are you introducing? They clearly didn’t give a damn about facesaving, just a waste of our time."

Hearing Wei Hongyan’s words, Ning Xueling responded: "It was just an introduction. You have no talent yourself, and you blame me? You really have some nerve."

Seeing they were about to start arguing again, Wei Zixiong had to say, "Enough, it’s not such a big deal. We’ll just look for another teacher later, maybe we can even find a better one."

Ning Xueling had endured quite a bit of mistreatment at the Wei Family over the past few months and was already feeling frustrated when her own children treated her this way today, so she didn’t offer Wei Hongyan any kind words.

Luo Qiao and the others didn’t care about Ning Xueling’s reaction at all. Frankly, none of the five siblings had a good impression of their biological mother; not mocking her was already considerate enough.

When they got home, the grandparents had already prepared the meal and ushered everyone to wash their hands and get ready for dinner.

At the dinner table, Luo Siyan said, "I need to return to the unit tonight, so I’ll be leaving after dinner."

Luo Qiao said, "Third Brother, you only took one day of leave."

Luo Siyan replied, "There’s a major competition in a few days. It was already not easy to get one day off. You can come to the troop to visit me when you have time."

Luo Qiao said, "Okay, then let’s eat quickly. After we finish, I’ll give you a check-up."

Luo Siyan was about to refuse, since he was in good health, but Grandma said, "Yes, let your sister have a look at you later."

So Luo Siyan didn’t object.

After dinner, Luo Qiao had her brother help Grandma clean up, and then took him for a few laps around the yard before asking him to lie down on the bed so she could sort out his meridians.

At first, Luo Siyan felt quite comfortable, but then some areas started to feel a bit painful. After the massage from his sister, he felt comfortable again. Forty minutes later, Luo Qiao stopped.

Luo Siyan felt a little sticky and uncomfortable on his body, and was somewhat annoyed with himself.

Luo Qiao knew what he was thinking and said, "You can’t take a shower for three hours, remember that."

Luo Siyan could only reply, "Okay, I’ll be just in time when I get back to the troop."

Luo Qiao got up and took out two porcelain bottles from the bag hanging on the wall, saying, "Take these, I made them myself. One bottle contains a powder for quick hemostasis and inflammation reduction, and the other is for regulating the body.

The one for the body is in pill form. Start taking one a day from tomorrow. Remember, I used a lot of good medicinal herbs for these, it’s good for your health, so don’t waste it."

Luo Siyan felt touched, his eyes moistened slightly. In all the years he had been a soldier, his family had never treated him with such care. He felt a mixture of emotions inside.

He took the items in his hand, looked up at his sister, and said, "Qiaoqiao, thank you. I’ll make sure to follow your instructions and finish them, I won’t waste them."

Grandma Zhou Guifang packed some food and told Luo Siyan to take it with him. After he took it and said goodbye to his family, he quickly left.

Zhou Guifang said, "Your third brother isn’t much of a talker, probably got moved, and that’s why he hurried off so quickly."

Luo Qiao laughed, "I’ll go visit Third Brother in the troops in a few days, bring him some warmth."

Meanwhile, at the Mechanical Factory Residential Compound, Qiao Haiqing came home to find his wife and child not around, panicking at once. He knew that his wife wasn’t just joking with him this time. Looking at Qiao Meng who was still watching TV, he suddenly felt how foolish he had been.

What’s the value of face? If this led to his wife and child drifting away from him and his family fell apart, that would be the real embarrassment. So he said, "Qiao Meng, pack up; I’ll take you back."
