Chapter 874: Chapter 874 I will explain this matter to you

Luo Qiao originally wanted to bring a puppy back from Yipin Base, but when she asked, she found out that the previous litter of wolf cubs had all been sent to a subsidiary, and she would have to wait a few more months.

Lu Yichen heard her mentioning it that day, and took it to heart. He found one from somewhere, as long as it was a good dog, she could train it well once it was in her hands.

Because the yard was not very large, Luo Qiao could only plant a grapevine on the side. Now that the framework was set up, Luo Qiao sat in the rocking chair, reading a book, while occasionally instructing Lu Yichen, who was sitting beside her washing duvet covers.

Being a man, his strength was great, and he finished washing in no time. Luo Qiao helped him hang them to dry, then asked, "Brother Chen, when will your colleague’s wife return the washing machine? It’s been borrowed for three or four days now."

Lu Yi helped Luo Qiao smooth her stray hairs. "I’ll make a detour on my way to work later. You shouldn’t have agreed to lend it to them that day."

Luo Qiao pouted. "That sister-in-law asked to borrow the washing machine in front of so many people. I was in a hurry to catch a train and didn’t really agree. I just said we’d talk about it when I got back. How was I to know she’d be so bold as to go home and tell you I’d agreed?

If it weren’t for your sake, I would have confronted her already. I haven’t even used that washing machine many times myself, I really don’t know what she was thinking."

Lu Yichen pulled her into his embrace. "Alright, don’t be angry. I’ll check on it shortly, and from now on, make sure you give your consent yourself before proceeding with anything."

He also knew that Luo Qiao hadn’t confronted them because of him, but this Kang Huaiqing’s family really was too much. He had never seen such people before.

After drinking the tea Luo Qiao made, the two of them cuddled on the rocking chair for a while. Lu Yichen left a few minutes earlier than usual and took a detour to knock on the Kang family’s door.

Kang Huaiqing was about to leave the house when he heard someone knocking. Opening the door, he saw Deputy Director Lu standing at the doorway, somewhat puzzled, "Deputy Director Lu, what brings you to my place?"

Lu Yichen checked the time and directly spoke, "Your wife borrowed our washing machine a few days ago. It’s time to return it, isn’t it?"

Kang Huaiqing froze, "Deputy Director Lu, you’re saying my wife borrowed your washing machine?"

Lu Yichen nodded. "What’s wrong, you didn’t know?"

Kang Huaiqing replied, "My wife hasn’t been home these days. She went back to her mother’s place two days ago to help with her brother’s wedding."

He stopped midway, unable to continue. "Damn it, no wonder she wouldn’t let me into her brother’s new house. There was something she was hiding from me."

Now Lu Yichen’s face darkened. "Don’t tell me the washing machine isn’t even at your house."

Kang Huaiqing looked extremely distressed. "Deputy Director Lu, I will sort this out and explain it to you."

With that, he closed the door, quickly greeted Lu Yichen, and walked out, heading straight to his father-in-law’s after requesting leave from the office.

Luo Qiao had just finished her lunch break and was preparing to visit the machinery factory to see her father. She rarely visited there, but during a phone call that day, when she mentioned visiting, she could clearly sense her father’s happiness.

Just as she was readying the items to bring along, she heard noisy disturbances outside, wondering which neighbor it was causing such a ruckus.

The clamor grew closer until it was right outside her front door, and she also heard the word "washing machine," suddenly feeling quite furious. This Kang family’s sister-in-law really had a problem.

She had never agreed to the matter, yet she dared to come over and lie to Lu Yichen. Borrowing was one thing, but it had been three or four days and it still hadn’t been returned, and now they were making a commotion at her doorstep.

As Luo Qiao was walking out, someone also knocked on the door. Opening it, she saw the Kang couple standing outside along with some onlookers who had come to spectate.

Luo Qiao spoke up, "What’s going on, making such a fuss at my doorstep?"

Kang Huaiqing looked somewhat embarrassed. "I’m sorry, I’ve brought my wife here to apologize to you. The washing machine might not be returned soon; its outer shell got broken."

Luo Qiao frowned and looked at Mao Yunshang. "Sister, that day you mentioned your in-laws were staying for a while and you had lots of laundry to do. You wanted to borrow our washing machine. I was in a hurry to catch a train and casually said we’d talk about it when I returned, right?"
