Chapter 635: Chapter 635: Do We Have to Seek Her Help?

Luo Qiao entered the house, took out some medicinal pills and powders she had prepared earlier from the space, each labeled with simple instructions for use. Only then did she come out of the house, "Take these with you, and take good care of yourself."

Lu Yichen extended his arms to hug Luo Qiao. After releasing her, he said, "Don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself."

Luo Qiao walked him to the end of the alley, only to find a police car waiting there.

After sending off Lu Yichen, Luo Qiao thought that there must be a major case, or else a car wouldn’t have come so quickly to pick someone up.

By the time Luo Qiao returned, people from the neighboring Zhang Family had already begun to come over and help. Auntie Zhang came out just in time to see Luo Qiao, "Luo Qiao, remember to come over for dinner tonight."

Luo Qiao nodded with a smile, "I have to go to school this afternoon, so I can’t help much anyway."

Auntie Zhang laughed, "Going to school is important, and besides, there are plenty of people here to help. Just make sure you come over for dinner in the evening."

Auntie Zhang called her eldest son and daughter-in-law to come out, "You follow Luo Qiao over and see how many tables can be set up in her yard. The weather is neither cold nor hot right now; it’s perfect for setting up outside in the yard."

The eldest son of the Zhang family eagerly complied, and his wife smiled at Luo Qiao, "Will it disturb you if we go now?"

Luo Qiao smiled, "No, it won’t. I’m not leaving for a while yet."

The eldest son of the Zhang family looked around Luo Qiao’s yard and said to his wife, "We can fit six tables comfortably, but if we squeeze a little, we can fit eight tables."

The wife of the Zhang family’s eldest son made a round and then suggested, "Let’s just put six tables. That way there’s room to move around. If we put eight, it won’t be convenient for those sitting inside to get in and out."

After they finished assessing the place, the wife of the Zhang Family’s eldest son said, "Luo Qiao, we’ll trouble you to tidy up the yard a bit tonight. I’m worried there might be oversights tomorrow with so many people around."

Luo Qiao smiled and agreed, and the couple then left.

After glancing over the yard, Luo Qiao gathered what needed to be put away and then locked the door before heading to school.

In the Luo family of Ji City, the patriarch Luo Tiancheng sat down, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and exhaled slowly, "Can’t we think of another way? Do we really need her help?"

His eldest son, Luo Tao, said, "Dad, what time is it now? And you’re still asking this? If we miss this opportunity, there’s no telling when it will come again. Besides, she owes it to grandma’s memory to help."

Qiao Juan looked at her husband, "Tiancheng, I think we should listen to the children. The past events had nothing to do with our branch of the family. Though we never raised her ourselves, we never mistreated her either, and in any case, grandma did bring her up.

Besides, we’re not asking her to do anything bad, just to give us a bit of extra insurance by passing on a message. I know you feel that Tianming and his wife did Luo Qiao wrong and you’re ashamed to ask her for help.

But this matters a great deal to our family. If we don’t seize this chance, who knows when we’ll get another shot at housing allocations from the factory?"

The second son, Luo Jin, chimed in, "Dad, mom’s right. I’m already twenty this year, and Zhao Nan and I have been dating for over a year. Her family has been pushing for marriage several times. If we had our own place, we could propose with more confidence."

Luo Tiancheng finished his last drag and said, "Alright then, I’ll swallow my pride and go find her at her school tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Luo Qiao got up and tidied up the yard again. She also organized the shed neatly and locked the gate leading to the backyard. She was worried that some naughty children might trample on the seedlings.

After locking all the rooms, she was about to go out and speak to the neighbors when she saw the wife of the Zhang family’s eldest son coming over with two bowls. "Luo Qiao, your sister-in-law has brought you breakfast."

Luo Qiao said, "Sister-in-law, I could have come over myself. You really didn’t have to bring it here."

The wife of the Zhang family’s eldest son laughed, "I didn’t see you last night and thought maybe you were too shy to come over. I looked for you for a long time this morning, and so I brought it over."

Luo Qiao felt a bit embarrassed. Indeed, she hadn’t gone over the previous night. When she came back from school and saw so many people in the neighboring yard and a queue forming in front of the pot, she decided not to join them.

After returning home, she simply took some food from her space.

She never expected Auntie Zhang to be so considerate and could only smile and say, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
