Chapter 580: Chapter 580: Even Eating Can’t Shut Your Mouth

Having come to his senses, Luo Haotian added, "But he’ll have to pass our tests first, and just like your cousin, you’ll have to wait until you’re of legal age to get a marriage license."

Luo Qiao said, "Don’t worry, we’ll talk about it after I get into college."

Everybody felt reassured upon hearing what Luo Qiao said.

Luo Qiao quickly changed the subject, "Cousin, are your in-laws easy to get along with?"

Luo Jialin said, "They’re okay, but those two sisters-in-law are always prying into my salary and savings, and I’m somewhat afraid to be alone with them now."

Luo Qiao asked, "Don’t they have jobs, too?"

Luo Jialin nodded and said, "My eldest sister-in-law has a formal job in textiles, and the second is a temp worker."

"Your husband works at the steel factory, right?" Luo Qiao asked.

Luo Jialin nodded, and Luo Qiao said, "I’ll ask around for some help with the housing situation later."

Luo Xuyan, who was sent to deliver watermelons, arrived at his master’s home just when the whole family was there: "Master, I’ve come to bring watermelons. My grandfather grew them himself behind the house and asked me to bring some for you all to try."

Professor Woo’s wife, Nie Yaxin, said, "It’s great everyone’s here. Let’s cut one open and try it together. Xuyan, go wash your face and come back to have some."

Once the watermelon was cut open and served, even Professor Woo, who normally didn’t pay much attention to gastronomic pleasures, remarked, "This watermelon is really good, much better than the ones you buy."

The rest of the Woo family also showered it with praises, and Woo Yunping, the eldest daughter, said, "The watermelon is really good indeed. We’re lucky to have our youngest sister here."

Feeling a bit shy, Woo Yunmei retorted, "Even eating can’t keep your mouth shut."

The whole room burst into laughter.

Seeing that it was getting late, Luo Xuyan said, "Teacher, Madam, it’s getting late, so I’ll take my leave now."

After saying goodbye to everyone in the room, he headed for the door, and Professor Woo said, "Yunmei, why don’t you see Xuyan out?"

While Woo Yunmei muttered, "He knows the way; he doesn’t need anyone to walk him out," she was already on her feet and chasing after him, laughter following behind her.

Woo Yunhai, the son, asked his parents, "Mom and Dad, have you really decided to marry our little sister off to Luo Xuyan?"

Professor Woo responded, "Haven’t you seen for yourselves? If your sister didn’t want to, would she have gone to see him off?"

Woo Yunping laughed and said, "Big Brother, Luo Xuyan is nice; he’s gentle, handsome, and not only that, but also a favorite pupil of Dad’s. Our sister likes him a lot, too – that’s enough, isn’t it?"

Woo Yunhai replied, "I’m not saying Xuyan isn’t a good guy; don’t make me out to be the bad guy, Second Sister. I’m just asking if Dad is sure about settling this."

"Since your sister likes him, your mother and I definitely approve wholeheartedly," said Professor Woo.

Woo Yunping said, "Looks like I’ll have to start saving up another gift of money."

The next day, Lu Yichen took the opportunity during lunch to visit Luo Qiao at the Mechanical Factory Residential Compound.

Zhou Guifang, seeing that Lu Yichen was all sweaty, hurriedly greeted him, "Rushing over in the middle of the day, boy, you’re not afraid of heat stroke. Come on in. Today, Qiao Qiao made sour plum soup. Grandma will get you a bowl."

When Luo Qiao heard the voices, she came out and, seeing Lu Yichen’s state, said with a pang of heartache, "If you didn’t have time, you could have called, and I would have brought it to you. You didn’t have to suffer through this heat," her eyes welling with tears.

Lu Yichen quickly responded, "It’s fine. It’s not that far, and I just rode my bike too fast, which is why I’m sweating so much."

Zhou Guifang first brought a bowl of sour plum soup and then served up some watermelon. After exchanging a few words, she went back to her own room.

Luo Xuyuan came down from upstairs, greeted him, then sat not far away at the dining table, writing and drawing.

After eating a few pieces of watermelon, Lu Yichen took out two stacks of money from his briefcase, handing over one stack first, "This is for the medicine we bought before. Uncle Kong insisted on paying a consultation fee. I relayed your words to him, and only then did he drop the issue.

"This is for two more jars of Scald Healing Spirit and two bottles of the Nourishing Pill, count it."

Luo Qiao replied with a smile, "I trust you; there’s no need to count it. Take one set of the medicine with you; I don’t have that much right now. Once I’ve made more, you can bring it to him.

"And tell him to let me know when new flesh starts growing on his wound. I’ll find time to do acupuncture for him. It will help him recover faster."
