Luo Qiao said with a smile, “Yes, I went to the city yesterday and stayed for a night.”
Lu Yichen glanced at the basket behind her and asked, “Do you want me to help you carry it over?”
Luo Qiao waved her hand, “It’s not very heavy, just a set of bedding.”
She waved her hand and headed towards her home.
As she opened the front gate and entered the yard, she hurriedly placed her things and then quickly went to the backyard. She released a couple of chickens from the space into the chicken coop, in case someone came over for a visit and found something amiss.
After taking the blankets that the team leader’s wife had given her and washing them, nightfall had arrived. Although she had never used the blankets herself, she felt at ease only after returning them clean.
Once everything was in order, she boiled a pot of water, preparing to fill the thermos to keep it warm, and used the opportunity to bake some steamed buns over the fire.

What Luo Qiao didn’t know was that a few groups of people were talking about her.
Gao Shunyi returned home and told Li Xiulan about encountering Luo Qiao on the road, also mentioning that Luo Qiao was carrying a basket full to the brim.
Li Xiulan became excited, “Did you see what was inside?”
Gao Shunyi replied, “It looked like a blanket on top; I don’t know what was underneath. But the blanket seemed quite new. I wonder where she got it from. Such a young age, yet quite capable.”
Upon hearing that the blanket was quite new, Li Xiulan thought that all those things would eventually belong to her own family. She planned to remind Luo Qiao to take good care of her things, so the young girl wouldn’t ruin them without knowing how to manage the household.
While she was feeling pleased, she heard Gao Shunyi saying, “You should take Taohua’s matter more seriously. We can’t delay any further. If it really comes down to it, look at the two families we talked about before and settle for whichever offers a higher bride price.
“If we keep delaying, she’ll end up an old maid. Plus, once she’s married off, the bride price can help with finding a match for Ru Lin, our second child. Just compare it to what the Rumu Family offered for Shunyi.”
Li Xiulan replied, “Alright, I’ll take another look these days and decide quickly. We really can’t keep dragging our feet with Ru Lin; it gets harder to talk about marriage the longer we wait.”
Suddenly thinking of something, she looked at her husband, “Dad, when do you think we should settle things with Luo Qiao? I bet there could be others in the village eyeing that girl. We can’t afford to be late.”
Gao Shunyi said, “Let’s wait a bit longer. The girl has just arrived in the village, and it wouldn’t look good to be too eager. We’ll visit her more often when there’s nothing else going on. Let her come over to our house more frequently, and once we’re closer, we can bring it up.”
Li Xiulan agreed, “Alright, then. I’ll make a point of talking to her more often. If things work out, we could save a lot of money.”
Gao Shunyi cautioned, “Don’t mention this to anyone at home, and don’t blabber about it outside either, to avoid being a laughingstock.”
Li Xiulan snorted, “Am I that stupid? If I let it slip and others rush in before us, I’d regret it to death.”
Gao Shunyi nodded, “As long as you see the big picture, that’s fine. Just keep your mouth shut; don’t go around blabbering all day. Now go cook something, I’m starved to death.”
Li Xiulan said with a smile, “Sure thing, I’ll go cook now. You take a break first.”
Meanwhile, the Yao family in Ji City was also discussing Luo Qiao. The family head, Yao Chengxuan, was furious after his wife told him about Luo Qiao, “The Luo Family is really despicable. I heard that Luo’s old man used to be a cadre of some sort back in the day.
“How could they raise such a shameless son? It’s inhuman. Luo Qiao is only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child. And the Zhao Family from Qingshan Village isn’t any better; they’re all the same kind of people.”
