Chapter 574: Chapter 574 Did You Find Something?

Auntie Gao saw Luo Qiao and called her into the house. It was Luo Qiao’s first time meeting Auntie Gao’s daughter, who she had heard worked at a distillery in the county.

Auntie Gao went inside and said to her daughter, "Baozhen, this is your sister Luo Qiao."

Luo Qiao saw there were quite a few people in the house. She turned to the girl who had stood up and said, "Congratulations, Sister Baozhen."

Gao Baozhen stood up with a smile, "I’ve often heard my family mention you. I feel like I know you well, even though this is the first time we’ve met. What a coincidence."

Luo Qiao casually handed over the thermos she was carrying, "This is a congratulatory gift for you. I hope you like it."

Gao Baozhen, just like her mom, was cheerful and open-hearted, "Oh my, this is really too valuable. You shouldn’t have gone to such expense."

She couldn’t refuse the gifts others offered, so she happily accepted it and thought about finding ways to return the favor later. Then, she handed the thermos to her mom, hurriedly ushered Luo Qiao to sit down, and introduced her to her classmates and friends.

Luo Qiao quickly found herself chatting with them, and soon they started talking about the hair styling for the next day. Luo Qiao suggested, "I could style a new hairstyle for you, but I’m sure the person doing your hair tomorrow has their own expertise. Why don’t you call them over, and I’ll teach her."

The sister-in-law was skilled with her hands. After going through it once, she had pretty much got it down. When leaving, she made a point to thank Luo Qiao and mentioned she might get to eat a few more wedding candies in the future.

Gao Baozhen explained, "After I get my hair done tomorrow, if other people think it looks good, then they will definitely ask her to do their daughters’ hair for weddings in the future. That’s why she said she might get to eat a few more wedding candies."

Luo Qiao spent the night in the village. The house she used to live in had now become a procurement shop, for the tractor shed below was too small and couldn’t accommodate it. Huo Yuhao paid to have the road fixed, so cars could now drive directly to the entrance of the yard, saving the trouble of offloading goods with a cart.

The next day, Luo Qiao left after the wedding feast.

In Capital City, Lu Yichen had taken Luo Qiao to examine Kong Xiangrui’s health when the other members of the Kong Family were absent. The hospital had used a lot of antibiotics fearing infection, but his condition wasn’t just about treating burns.

Therefore, at that time, Luo Qiao went all out: she made an enhanced version of Scald Healing Spirit, produced Nourishing Pills to protect the five organs, and also prescribed a traditional Chinese medicine formula for them to brew daily and detoxify Kong Xiangrui.

Concerned that Aunt Kong might not believe it and it could harm the families’ relations, only Uncle Kong and Kong Xiangrui knew about this. After a few days, Kong Xiangrui seemed like a changed person. He stopped being destructive and started actively cooperating with the treatment.

When Lu Yichen visited him another day, Kong Xiangrui said, "Brother Yichen, I owe you my life. Thanks for never giving up on convincing my dad. I won’t forget this favor, bro."

Lu Yichen replied without any pretense, "Good."

He then carefully observed Kong Xiangrui’s skin, "It seems lighter than before."

Kong Xiangrui said, "Brother Yichen, when is your girl coming back? I’ll run out of that ointment in two or three days."

Lu Yichen replied, "Use that ointment sparingly, just a thin layer will do. Using more is no good; it can’t be absorbed and might even hinder the skin from breathing."

Kong Xiangrui teased, "For a rough guy like you to say that, it must have been your girl who told you."

Lu Yichen gave him a look, "So you’re starting to get cheeky again now that you’re feeling better, huh?"

Kong Xiangrui sighed, "If my parents had agreed the first time you brought it up, I might have been out enjoying myself by now. If it weren’t for your relentless persuasion every other day, I’d probably be boxed up by now."

Laughing, Kong Xiangrui added, "Brother Yichen, if Luo Qiao weren’t your girl, I’d have pledged myself to her in gratitude for saving my life."

If Lu Yichen hadn’t seen him in such a wretched state, he would have picked him up and beaten him by now.

But now Lu Yichen was missing that young lady. It had been several days since she went back, and not once did she call him. He’d tried calling her several times but always just missed her.

After coming back from the Kong Family’s home, the telephone in the living room rang. It was from the Lu Family, telling him to come back that night for a discussion.

Lu Yichen directly called his older brother, "Big Brother, did they call you too?"

On the other end of the line, Lu Yixuan replied, "Yes, they asked me to come back tonight. I’m guessing it’s about Cui Jianhua’s wedding."

Lu Yichen remembered the pair of bracelets and so he said, "Big Brother, our little sister also turned eighteen a while ago. Those things mom left behind should be entrusted to her for safekeeping now, don’t you think?"

After a moment of silence, Lu Yixuan asked, "Have you discovered something?"

Lu Yichen thought for a moment before saying, "Cui Yueyue was wearing mom’s bracelet on her wrist before. Out of curiosity, I made sure to check while dad was looking for something. Indeed, that pair of bracelets was not there."

Lu Yixuan said, "We will see how things go tonight."
