Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Going to the Market, A Chance Encounter

Watching the Zhao family’s retreating figures, Luo Qiao thought to herself, "Originally, you owed the previous owner a life, and I was thinking of taking revenge on behalf of the original owner when I became capable enough."

"Now that you dare to reach out, don’t blame me for being impolite; I’ll be collecting some interest in advance."

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. These past few days at the Black Market in Ji City, He Yujie had almost been annoyed to death, all because of the trouble caused by the batch of fish Luo Qiao had provided.

After those fish arrived, they were hardly sold retail. Instead, someone bought them all and gave them away as gifts, and everyone who tasted them fell in love with the taste. They claimed these were definitely not common wild fish.

Not only was the taste superior, but the nutritional value was high as well. Eating them regularly was good for one’s health. However, half a month had passed, and that girl hadn’t made any contact.

He had been preparing to return to Capital City during this time, but he couldn’t leave with this matter unresolved, which was frustrating.

Luo Qiao wasn’t averse to going to the city; it’s just that taking leave too frequently would draw the team leader’s disapproval, so Luo Qiao hadn’t been able to find an opportunity.

That day, after work, the experienced elders said there might be heavy rain tonight.

Luo Qiao looked at the sky, which wasn’t overcast, and found it hard to believe.

But as night fell, the rain indeed started pouring.

Luo Qiao thought that if it rained all night, they probably wouldn’t be able to work tomorrow, and if that were the case, she would take a trip to the city.

After all, going there and back in one day shouldn’t be an issue without a letter of introduction.

The next day, Luo Qiao got up early. The rain had stopped, but the road was difficult to navigate, which was really bothersome.

Looking at the sky, she thought, "Please don’t rain again, or else I really won’t be able to leave."

She started by boiling porridge and steaming a pot of buns with sweet potatoes that she had made dough for yesterday, then went off to wash and freshen up.

By the time she was ready, the porridge and sweet potato buns in the kitchen were also done. The buns with sweet potatoes looked just like those made with two types of flour but tasted especially delicious because they were sweet.

After breakfast, and seeing that it didn’t look like it would rain again soon, she changed into her Jiefang shoes, shouldered a basket, locked the door, and headed out of the village.

Because she left early, she didn’t encounter anyone, but because the road was indeed in poor condition, her shoes were caked with mud. When she reached the commune’s intersection, she still missed the early bus to the city, which left Luo Qiao very frustrated.

She was standing there, uncertain of what to do next when she saw a jeep drive a long way off, then reverse back toward her.

There was a girl in the car, waving at her. Luo Qiao turned and looked around for a while but didn’t see anyone else. When the car came to a stop, the girl excitedly opened the door and jumped out.

Zhang Xiao said with a smile, "Don’t you recognize me anymore?"

It was only when Luo Qiao saw Zhang Xiao that she remembered; this was the girl who had fallen off the dam that day.

Zhang Xiao smiled, "Remembered me now?"

Luo Qiao pointed to the dam ahead, "How’s your mom’s arm?"

Zhang Xiao replied, "It’s almost healed. I didn’t even have the chance to thank you that day; we’ve been unable to locate you."

"Oh, it’s nothing worth mentioning. It was just lending a hand when passing by, and you don’t need to keep it in mind. Besides, I didn’t really do much."

"If it wasn’t for you that day, my mom and I don’t know how long we would have stayed under the dam. I was really petrified at the time, clueless about what to do, and it was fortunate you reminded me."

As they spoke, another person came down from the car. Zhang Xiao quickly said, "Dad, this is the girl who helped us that day."

Zhang Jianjun walked over and said to Luo Qiao, "Miss, I really want to thank you for that day."

Luo Qiao smiled faintly, "You’re being too polite; it was nothing worth mentioning."
