It was only at lunchti that Luo Qiao found out Miao Shuang was actually married to Qiao Yu.
She thought to herself that the world really is small.
They had a very pleasant conversation, just like back in their school days. When Miao Shuang learned that Luo Qiao was now the mother of five children, she was so shocked she almost dropped her jaw.
The fact that Luo Qiao had five children was only known to a few school leaders and old professors at Beijing dical University. They didn’t spread the word, as this was Luo Qiao’s private matter. Given that she gave birth openly and also registered the children, it indicated that she had legally obtained the permit for a second child.
After finishing their al, Luo Qiao said, "Let’s get Ji Lin and have a gathering, just the three of us."
Miao Shuang turned around and walked backwards, gesturing excitedly: "Yes, let’s call Ji Lin, I haven’t seen her for so many years."

Ti flies, and two weeks have already passed since the beginning of the school term. The children were gradually getting used to the pace.
To reward the little ones, Luo Qiao decided to take them to the zoo this Sunday.
All the children were delighted to hear this, eagerly looking forward to Sunday.
When Luo Qiao wasn’t too busy, she would also take them to kindergarten. The teachers gave feedback that the kids were very adaptable, had a strong sense of justice, and sotis preached high morals, making them the class clowns.
Now, Luo Qiao could completely rest assured.
Starting this week, Yanyan and Yueyue are resuming their extracurricular classes. Both are at Level 5 in piano and violin. Their teachers were introduced by Big Brother Luo Xuyan, both of whom feel the children have a talent for music.
Moreover, now the two daughters can read music on their own, no need for any supervision, practicing piano and violin one hour in the morning and an hour and a half in the evening every day.
Lu Yichen also found a martial arts class that the girls would start attending this week. Neither daughter objected, and he thought martial arts were essential, so he didn’t oppose it either.
After returning to the country, life has finally gotten on the right track.

Just after finishing class and returning to the office, there was a chaotic noise coming from downstairs. Initially, she thought the school security would arrive soon, but the clamor from the woman below only got louder.
Luo Qiao stood at the window looking down; the woman was speaking too fast and unclearly, so she only caught words like "house" and "heartless."
It’s been almost fifteen minutes, and the woman just wouldn’t leave. The school security tried to apprehend her several tis, but she directly started shouting: "Indecency."
Leaning on the window and watching, Miao Shuang rushed in: "This old lady is really going all out over her house."
Luo Qiao frowned and said, "Talk about it, whose ancestor is this?"
Miao Shuang opened her thermos and took a sip of water before speaking, "That’s the mother-in-law of Teacher Gao Wuping from the office up front."
Luo Qiao frowned: "Mother-in-law?"
Miao Shuang checked the ti: "Let’s go, let’s go eat. I’ll tell you all about it on the way. Old Madam Qian is unreasonable. She lives in the big communal courtyard on the lane by the Qiao Family, very notorious in that alley."
As they left the building together, Luo Qiao learned from Miao Shuang the reasons why the old lady was causing a commotion at the school.
The old lady had three daughters and two sons at ho. When the eldest son got married, he used the dowries of the eldest and second daughters since they lived in a big communal courtyard, cramped in a room and a half with the whole family.
The family erected curtains and lived in bunk beds, truly under poor conditions.
Therefore, when the eldest and second daughters were looking for a marriage, it was essentially a case of ’highest bidder wins.’ They didn’t leave any dowry money; it was as if they were selling the daughters, who left ho empty-handed.
The money from the two daughters’ dowries, besides finding a wife for the eldest son, also contributed to buying a room in the courtyard opposite theirs, which was intended as the marital ho for the eldest son. The wedding at the ti was quite lively.
The youngest daughter was pretty and smart and worried about being traded for a dowry like her sisters, so she found her own partner, Teacher Gao from our school.
Teacher Gao had just lost his wife back then and had no children. Sohow, the youngest of the Qian Family found out and no one knows how she did it, but they were all set for marriage before the old lady got wind of it.
