Chapter 589: Chapter 589 Moving, Grievance

When Luo Qiao learned of this, she thought of the phrase "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." However, this was just retribution for Wei Zixiong and the Cui Family. Even a cornered rabbit will bite, let alone Zhao Jianing, who was already not a good person.

She considered the matter closed; after all, whatever happened to Zhao Jianing was none of her concern. If she herself failed to see the error of her ways, no amount of persuasion would be of any use.

As time entered November, everything concerning the new house had been readied. The rooms had been aired out for a while, the furniture had all been ordered and allowed to off-gas in advance, and all that was left was to choose an auspicious day to warm the house and move in.

After the house was completed, many neighbors went in to have an early look and marveled at how nicely the house had been constructed. Everyone was deeply envious, saying that the Luo’s elderly couple was very blessed.

Luo Daoren checked the calendar and chose the ninth day of the eleventh lunar month to invite relatives, friends, and neighbors for a housewarming feast at home. Joyously and boisterously, they moved into the new house.

People noticed that each room in the new house was particularly warm, which prompted someone to ask, "Old Luo, every room in your house is quite warm, but I haven’t seen any stoves lit."

Luo Daoren replied with a smile, "It’s a small boiler with a firewall designed by my grandson himself."

In the kitchen, during winter, the bricks and boards that blocked the way were removed, allowing direct heat transfer through the flue and firewall. Fearing that the kitchen stove alone couldn’t warm all the rooms, they left space of just over one meter at the back of the house, where they installed a homemade boiler on the other side.

With the heat delivered by both the kitchen stove and the homemade boiler on the other side, the rooms weren’t exactly hot, but they were definitely not cold. Anyway, if one wanted more heat, they could simply stoke the fire a bit more.

Today’s housewarming feast featured all vegetables sent over by Peng Mingdong at Luo Qiao’s request, and even the fish, eggs, and meat had been prepared in advance by her for him to bring along.

However, this time the Luo Family insisted on paying Luo Qiao for everything. Even if Luo Qiao was wealthy, they couldn’t just rely on a young girl to provide for the whole family, so she reluctantly accepted the money.

Days passed, and not long after Luo Qiao’s last acupuncture session, Kong Xiangrui walked out of his house, truly feeling as if he had been reborn. He found everything to be beautiful.

Although his body still bore many scars, Luo Qiao said she could make him some Scar Soothing Gel. Luckily, the Kong Family was well-off, otherwise, his treatment would have been unaffordable.

Seeing her younger son finally improving, Kong Xiangrui’s mother broke down in tears of joy, "Thank heavens, my son, you’ve finally left your room."

Kong Xiangrui disliked seeing his mother so teary: "Mom, I’m better now. You should be happy. Besides, you don’t need to thank the heavens or the earth; if you’re going to thank anyone, it should be Lu Yichen’s girlfriend."

Then he heard his mother say, "We do need to properly thank her, but it’s not like we haven’t paid her for the medicine."

Kong Cunlai, Xiangrui’s father, said displeasedly, "Don’t get clever just because you got a deal. If it weren’t for them, your son might not even be alive now."

Fu Lanhua realized she had misspoken: "Alright, alright, I was just talking."

None of them noticed Lu Yichen standing by the moon gate, but just then, the second son of the Kong Family returned: "Yichen, why don’t you come in?"

This startled the three inside the moon gate, especially Kong Xiangrui’s mother, who felt her face burning with shame. She wanted to say something, but knew that nothing could remedy the situation.

After Lu Yichen stepped in, he handed the medicine to Kong Xiangrui, being someone who liked to settle accounts on the spot: "Don’t waste this medicine like you did before. She doesn’t have any more medicinal materials; this is the last Lingzhi, and it’s all in your medicine now.

How much you improve from here on out will be up to fate. Anyway, you’re a man, and a few scars will only add to your masculinity. With your credentials, you won’t have trouble finding a wife, right?"

Lu Yichen knew that Aunt Kong didn’t have any ill intentions; she probably started worrying about the money now that Xiangrui was getting better. But didn’t she consider that without the young girl’s intervention, Xiangrui might not even be alive?

Although he knew that Aunt Kong was just venting, he still didn’t like hearing it. He had brought the young girl over trying to save his brother’s life, and if Qiaoqiao heard this, she likely wouldn’t be pleased either.

Kong Cunlai said, "Yichen, I’m sorry, you know what your aunt is like. She’s just letting her old habits show, and it’s that mouth of hers that has ruined her life."

Lu Yichen responded, "I don’t mind, but I don’t think it’s fair for my girlfriend. Also, as I mentioned before, she waived the consultation fee out of respect for the lifelong friendship between Xiangrui and me, but you’ll have to pay for the acupuncture.

As for how much, I won’t say. You can go to the Jing Family and pay according to what they think is fair, since you’re not too far from them and Uncle Kong should be quite familiar with them. Elder Jing’s legs were cured by my girlfriend.

Go ahead and calculate how much it all comes to, and send it over to my grandfather. Lately, I’ve been busy at the bureau and coming back less, so if there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way."
