Reborn as a Superpower Girl in the 80s-Chapter 1186 Refusal
Chapter 1186: Chapter 1186 Refusal
After breakfast that day, Lu Yichen took his family to his master’s and mistress’s place, planning to return to his grandfather’s after lunch.
Luo Qiao brought a lot of chocolates because even though the master was getting on in years, he had developed a fondness for chocolate. Fearing he might not control himself and eat too much, she handed the treats directly to the mistress.
The neighbors heard that Luo Qiao was back, and she had brought her triplet sons with her. Many people came over to watch.
The three little ones weren’t shy at all, sometimes reaching out their tiny hands to ’ow, ow’ at everyone. Occasionally, they would even call out ’mama, mama’.
Thanks to Rong Daniang’s good care, the children didn’t look premature at all. Each one was growing strong and healthy.
The neighbor Auntie Qiu saw the three almost identical kids and clapped her hands in delight: "This is my first time seeing triplets. Qiaoqiao, you and your husband are really something."
Another sister-in-law agreed: "It’s rare enough to have twins, and now you’ve had triplets. It’s really enviable."
Just then, a newlywed bride came to visit with her mother-in-law, and many started to tease her: "Gao Family’s new bride, come and hold the triplets, get some of their good fortune."
Her mother-in-law also smiled towards Luo Qiao: "Can your sister-in-law hold them? It might bless our Gao Family with more children next year."
With that, everyone in the room burst into laughter, and the face of the new bride flushed with shyness.
Honestly, Luo Qiao was reluctant to let others hold her babies, but she also didn’t want to refuse outright, so she said: "These little ones may look well-behaved now, but they are actually quite wary of strangers. Why don’t you give it a try, sister-in-law?"
Whether the triplets could understand human speech or what, in the end, the new bride did not get to hold them. Unconvinced onlookers wanted to give it a try too.
But, without exception, all failed.
While everyone was laughing and chatting, Bai Sulì from the Yang Family arrived with her grandson Yang Zechao.
As soon as she entered, the lively atmosphere quieted down significantly. Some people had already seen the triplets and began to take their leave.
Bai Sulì walked over with Yang Zechao: "Mom, I’ve brought your great-grandson to see you."
Feng Shumin looked over at her great-grandson: "You’ve gotten taller again. Wait for your great-grandmother to get you some treats."
Auntie Qiu looked at Bai Sulì with a smile: "Coming to see your in-laws empty-handed?"
Bai Sulì felt a moment of embarrassment: "My parents don’t lack anything, and what I bring won’t be put to use."
Then, leading her grandson over to the triplets, Luo Qiao smiled and said: "Hello, sister-in-law."
Bai Sulì sized up the master’s closed-door disciple; she had only seen her once before and would definitely not recognize her on the street: "Hello."
Luo Qiao turned and took out some chocolates from her bag to give to Yang Zechao: "Your auntie has some chocolates for you."
The child was quite polite: "Thank you."
Bai Sulì then looked at the triplets sitting on the sofa, which had been pushed together to prevent them from falling: "The kids are growing up well."
Luo Qiao replied with a light smile: "They’ve got good appetites and have been on solid foods for a while now."
People slowly started to leave, and soon only a few that got along well with Feng Shumin remained, chatting with Luo Qiao about life and studies abroad.
Feng Shumin brought out a variety of treats for her great-grandson, who thanked her and sat down to eat. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com
Bai Sulì glanced at the wall clock: "Mom, what’s for lunch today? I’ll help get things ready."
Feng Shumin replied indifferently: "Your dad and Yichen are preparing it in the kitchen, they should be almost done by now."
The others in the room who were still chatting also got up: "It’s getting late; we need to go cook too."
Feng Shumin went to see off the guests and stopped by the kitchen to see if the meal was ready.
Bai Sulì turned to Luo Qiao: "Luo Qiao, are you leaving again this time?"
"Yes, in a few days. I haven’t finished my studies yet."
Bai Sulì looked outside for a moment, then after some thought, said hesitantly: "I have a favor to ask of you."
Luo Qiao, with a light smile: "What could I possibly help you with?"
"Well, my daughter and son-in-law are still overseas. Could you find someone to help find them a receiving unit?"
Luo Qiao thought briefly: "What kind of work are they doing now? What kind of unit should they be looking for? Are they permanent employees at their current job?"
Bai Sulì was a bit embarrassed: "They are both temp workers over there; could you help them move their household registration back to Capital City?"
Luo Qiao frowned: "I’m afraid that’s impossible now. If it were underage children, it might be possible, but as they are married off, it certainly doesn’t comply with the regulations. If they want to move their registration back, they’d probably need to buy property in Capital City."
Bai Sulì became somewhat displeased: "I know all that, which is why I’m asking for your help."
Luo Qiao inwardly remarked on how quickly people’s attitudes could change: "I’m sorry, but I can’t help you with this. Not to mention Capital City, even elsewhere it wouldn’t be easy. Nowadays rural-to-urban registration is limited to the local jurisdiction. Think about how strict household registration management is."
Bai Sulì, restraining her displeasure: "Isn’t this where I thought your husband works in the public security bureau? Just a word from him could sort this out."
Luo Qiao glanced at her: "I’m sorry, but he doesn’t have that kind of authority, and he would certainly not commit a known wrongdoing. You should think of another way."
Bai Sulì couldn’t mask her frustration: "If it were easy, I wouldn’t need to ask you. We’re proper relatives, and my in-laws have been good to you. Can’t you help us with this?"
