Reborn as a Superpower Girl in the 80s-Chapter 1173: Schemes

After turning around from the mechanical factory’s gate, he took a turn into the neighboring residential compound for the factory’s families.

People in the courtyard were puzzled, having never seen this car before, and wondered whose house it was headed for.

The roads within the residential compound were quite narrow, making it troublesome for cars to turn around. Before, Luo Qiao would have had Lu Yichen park the car outside the compound, but with stuff brought along and five kids on board, it was not convenient to park outside.

They could only let Lu Yichen drive in, thinking at worst they would just back out later.

After getting out of the car, Luo Qiao carried her oldest son to open the gate, while Lu Yichen took the two younger ones in his arms. At this moment, some aunts gathered around: "Luo Qiao, are you coming back to see your dad?"

"Yes, auntie."

"I heard from your dad that you’re studying abroad; how come you have time to come back?"

"Yes, I’m studying abroad. A friend is getting married during the May Day holiday, so I took some leave to come back, and I also wanted to check in on my family."

"Oh, these are your children?"

"Yes."

A neighbor auntie asked: "All five are yours?"

"Yes, one set of twins, one set of triplets, all mine."

"My, aren’t you lucky!"

Actually, many people also wanted to ask, how much would the fine be?

While chatting and handling stuff, Lu Yichen had already put the two toddlers on the living room sofa for Yanyan and Yueyue to watch and had carried the rest of the stuff inside.

Luo Qiao closed the trunk with a smile: "Ladies, aunties, I’ll head inside first—need to tidy up my dad’s place a bit." freēwēbηovel.c૦m

"Ah, alright, go ahead."

Passing the children to Lu Yichen, Luo Qiao went upstairs and downstairs for a round, finding the place quite tidy. She walked into her father’s room on the first floor, pulled off the bed sheets, duvet covers, and pillowcases, and started washing them in the washing machine.

Noticing the good weather, she instructed Lu Yichen to take the mattress and quilt outside for airing and to give the room another round of cleaning.

After arranging the items they brought back, she locked the door, ready to drop the keys off, as they had arranged to have lunch at her grandparents’.

Once they left the residential compound, the women from various families, carrying their groceries, gathered together to gossip while picking vegetables.

"Do you think what Luo Qiao said is true? Those five kids are all hers?"

"They must be. Those little ones look quite alike, you can tell they’re triplets."

"She’s so lucky, two births and five kids, such a high fertility rate!"

"That must’ve incurred a hefty fine?"

"Who can be sure about that?"

After returning the keys to the mechanical factory: "Dad, I’ve put your bedding in the washing machine, and I’ve aired the mattress and duvet outside. When you go back home at noon, you can collect them—remember to hang the beddings from the washing machine, too."

"Good, my girl’s the best."

"By the way, dad, I’ve placed the nutritional supplements I brought back in the living room cupboard. Please don’t forget to take them; you wouldn’t want them to expire."

"I got it. I’ll go downstairs with you and take a look at Yanyan, Yueyue, and the three little ones."

Luo Haotian followed her down, picking up Xiao Ye, playing with him for a while, and then playing with the other two toddlers in the car. Then, handing Xiao Ye back to Luo Qiao, he picked up Yanyan and Yueyue to chat for some time.

Before leaving, he gave his two granddaughters ten yuan each to buy some snacks.

However, the two kids refused no matter what. It was only after Luo Qiao spoke up that they thanked their grandfather and accepted the money.

After the car left, Luo Haotian cheerfully made his way to the office. Quiet rumors began to circulate: "Is that the factory director’s daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren?"

"It must be. But wasn’t the factory director’s daughter said to have gone abroad? How come she’s back?"

"She went abroad to study, why couldn’t she come back?"

They didn’t know how the mechanical factory’s gossip went, but just as they arrived at the grandparents’ house, Lu Yichen’s phone rang, with Shen Jianzhong on the other end looking for Luo Qiao.

Lu Yichen handed the phone to Luo Qiao: "Shen Jianzhong is looking for you."

Luo Qiao didn’t expect the call to come so quickly: "Is it convenient to talk?"

Realizing this must be something significant, Luo Qiao said: "Go ahead."

"I sent some people to investigate and they stumbled upon a big secret. Lv Jiangping and He Qingshan, who manages logistics at the mechanical factory, are involved. Our people happened to overhear their conversation."

Luo Qiao had a feeling that what would follow wasn’t going to be good news.

She listened as Shen Jianzhong continued: "Turns out, both of Lv Jiangping’s children are actually He Qingshan’s. She got pregnant before marriage and hastily married Si Chenglin, a driver. From what our people heard from those in the know, it was Lv Jiangping who schemed against her husband Si Chenglin to get married.

"The second child also came about from an affair with He Qingshan when the husband was in a car accident. Just a few days before Si Chenglin’s accident, the couple had a big fight, and neighbors said Si Chenglin broke down in tears that day.

"People at the glass factory say Lv Jiangping caused Si Chenglin’s demise, but the exact circumstances haven’t been investigated fully yet."

Hearing this, Luo Qiao thought to herself, well done, He Qingshan, looking for a fool to keep supporting your mistress and illegitimate children, daring to scheme against the Luo family. Then don’t blame me for being unkind.

She spoke calmly on the phone to Shen Jianzhong: "Have someone investigate carefully again for me; we need solid evidence."

Shen Jianzhong replied: "I know, I’ll have people gather everything as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Qiao entered the living room where Geng Qiuyan was holding her eldest son Luo Pengyue, looking at Luo Qiao coming in: "Yo, done with your call? You really are a busy person."

Luo Qiao wasn’t bothered by her teasing, smiling as she walked over: "Come, let auntie hold you. This must be our little Pengyue."

Geng Yanqiu laughed and passed her son over: "Just having twins in one birth with my third sister-in-law made people amazed; but you, having triplets in one go, that’s really something."

Luo Qiao teased her nephew while replying with a smile: "Nothing I can do about it; I’m just that impressive."

Geng Yanqiu also laughed and said to her son in the stroller: "Look at your aunt, calling her fat, and she’s already out of breath."

Everyone in the room laughed at the comment.
