Chapter 476: Chapter 476 Hating Ning Xueling

Qin Muyang laughed and said, "Ever since she started taking the prescription you gave, she’s been recovering well recently."

Qin Muyang asked Luo Qiao to wait for a moment and hurried into the house. It didn’t take long before he came back out, handing the money in his hand to Luo Qiao. He said somewhat embarrassedly, "Here, take this money. I was supposed to repay you for the ginseng roots, but I really couldn’t find any of that quality."

Luo Qiao accepted the hundred yuan Qin Muyang handed over. Actually, what Luo Qiao had given him was worth more than this—those were roots snipped from a hundred-year-old ginseng.

Knowing the Qin family’s situation, Luo Qiao said, "I’ll take fifty; that’s enough. You should take the rest back, give your sister Qin Muxiao a little more to nourish her body."

Qin Muyang replied, "No need, no need. I’ve taken on a few transportation jobs recently and made some money. Besides, those ginseng roots you gave are probably worth more than this, but this is the best I can do for now."

He had taken those ginseng roots to ask around, and the people in the know had mentioned that the age of the roots was not insignificant. Even giving a hundred in compensation made him feel somewhat embarrassed.

Seeing Qin Muyang’s expression, Luo Qiao guessed that he probably knew the age of those ginseng roots, so without further ado, she accepted the money.

Qin Muyang watched as Luo Qiao took the money and felt relieved. He really hated owing others. After exchanging a few more words, Luo Qiao then took her leave.

From Qin Muyang, Luo Qiao learned that his Big Brother had split from their family, and now he was living with just his mother and sister. Luo Qiao thought this might actually be better since they could live a more peaceful life.

When Luo Qiao got off the bus and was walking back, she heard the women chatting outside Uncle Sun’s gate: "That youngest daughter-in-law of the Zhang family is really something, implying that if it weren’t for them, Wu Bing would have suffered a great deal yesterday."

One of them said, "If you’re going to be grateful, you should thank that little granddaughter of the Luo family. She has such nerve. In the end, she even said she wanted Wu Bing’s uncle to help her husband get a permanent position."

Another woman chimed in: "Her intentions are too obvious, and she’s too hasty. She’s trying to benefit from the achievements of the Luo family’s granddaughter, using someone else’s credit to do her own family favors."

"I was saying, that young daughter-in-law of the Zhang family has never liked getting involved in others’ business. It turns out she had all this calculated—such a schemer indeed."

Luo Qiao thought to herself, nobody troubles themselves for no reason; it looks like what she overheard yesterday was true. She could understand, considering she hadn’t been polite in speaking to the Zhang family either yesterday.

Returning home, Luo Qiao saw her grandmother busying herself in the kitchen. She set down her things and went over to take a look—her grandmother was kneading dough.

Luo Qiao coughed softly, "Grandma, are we having noodles for dinner?"

Zhou Guifang, seeing her granddaughter back, said, "Qiaoqiao’s back. Tonight we’ll have hand-pulled noodles."

She continued to knead dough while chatting with Luo Qiao. In the middle of their conversation, something suddenly occurred to her, and she stopped what she was doing: "Today, that young daughter-in-law from the Zhang family went to see Wu Bing’s mother, wanting Wu Bing’s uncle to help her husband secure a permanent position.

Old Lady Wu overheard it, and she’s been broadcasting it outside, really made me laugh. Some people are just filled with petty schemes. I was saying yesterday that none of the Wu family came by, and now look how eager that young daughter-in-law of the Zhang family is—it turns out she’s been waiting for this moment."

Luo Qiao laughed and said, "I knew about it yesterday, which is why I wasn’t polite with my words."

Zhou Guifang spoke irritably, "That’s why you were so angry yesterday. You knew her intentions. Let it be; it’s normal for people to have their little schemes."

At the Wei family, Zhao Jianing finished cooking and looked at her scalded hand. She was starting to resent Ning Xueling. If Xueling couldn’t provide a good life for her, why would she bring her back?

Unable to continue her studies and dealing with such treatment at the Wei family every day, Jianing’s feelings of injustice and anger reached a boiling point.

In the past few days, her stepmother had been asking classmates to help their younger daughter, Wei Hongyan, find a tutor. If she could care so much for her stepdaughter, why couldn’t she find someone to help her get into a school, instead of making her wait until the next semester?

Wei Zixiong came out of his room and saw Zhao Jianing sitting in the corner, lost in thought. He squinted his eyes, then approached: "Jianing, everyone’s eating inside. Why are you sitting here?"
