Chapter 81: Chapter 81 Crafty Calculations

Luo Qiao actually had a bit of claustrophobia and only after scooping up a batch of fish and feeling it was enough did she find a safe place to enter her space.

She used the rag bag prepared in advance to pack about four or five fish at a time, weigh them, and then place them into buckets or basins. Luo Qiao had prepared fish weighing over one and a half jin each, and it took her about one hundred thirty or so fish to make up two hundred jin.

Luo Qiao even added a few extra large fish to ensure that even after accounting for water loss, the weight would still be two hundred jin, before she stopped, throwing all the smaller fish left over into the pond in the valley.

After completing all these tasks, she left the space and headed down the mountain.

Since she still had to go to school for half a day tomorrow, Luo Qiao made another trip to the village chief’s house, bringing along some shepherd’s purse she had casually dug up on the mountainside.

The shepherd’s purse was very tender, perfect for adding a dish to dinner that evening; it was a small token of her appreciation. Auntie Gao, seeing it was fresh shepherd’s purse, did not decline but thanked Luo Qiao directly.

The adults in their family were all out working and had no time to forage for wild vegetables, and their two grandsons and granddaughter were too young to have been let out to forage yet, so they truly cherished these shepherd’s purse.

After requesting leave, Auntie Gao also gave her some homemade soy paste in return. The two of them agreed to have Auntie Gao teach Luo Qiao the next time she made more.

When Luo Qiao left the village chief’s house, she happened to run into the Zhao couple.

Gao Suhua, reminded of serious matters, did not make any snide remarks this time and said to Luo Qiao, "Luo Qiao, the day after tomorrow is my Xiaotao’s wedding day. Remember to come over for the celebration."

Although Luo Qiao disliked the people of the Zhao family, it would be rude not to show face since they had invited her, especially with several gossip-loving village women standing nearby.

Luo Qiao responded, "Okay, congratulations, Auntie. I have to go; I’ve got other things to tend to."

Watching Luo Qiao’s departing figure, Gao Suhua sneered inwardly, her eyes sparkling with a cunning that made Zhao Pusen feel odd, even giving Gao Suhua a nudge and asking, "What are you looking at?"

Gao Suhua snapped back to the moment and said, "Nothing, let’s head home."

She couldn’t discuss such matters with this stubborn man lest he ruin her plans; she and her younger sister-in-law had already agreed that once they delivered the person, they could get their hands on the money—that was a hundred yuan.

The younger sister-in-law said she only wanted thirty yuan, and the thought of the remaining seventy yuan delighted Gao Suhua.

In Capital City, Luo Jianing had been discharged from the hospital. Under Ning Lingyu’s unwavering watch, Luo Jianing had no choice but to admit she had accidentally fallen down the stairs, lest Ning Lingyu report it to the police.

The incident caused Luo Haotian and Luo Siyuan to grow even less fond of Luo Jianing. Usually, Luo Haotian wasn’t unkind towards Luo Jianing, but he always felt there was something preventing them from getting closer.

As a result, the father-daughter relationship was not very close, and as for the two brothers, their relationship with Luo Jianing was just average, having suffered their mother’s ill temper on her behalf since they were young. They were not as close to her as they were to their cousin, Ning Lingyu.

Angered by the affair, Luo Jianing had not refrained from speaking ill of them in front of their mother, but despite their efforts, the brothers found they just couldn’t warm up to her.

With this incident, Luo Jianing’s image had worsened in everyone’s eyes. Fortunately, both families kept the matter to themselves instead of spreading it.

Otherwise, the image they had maintained for so long would have collapsed.

Due to this matter, Ning Lingyu’s years of endurance might have reached its limit. In front of both families, she forced Luo Jianing to apologize to her, and only then was the matter settled.
