Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Public Apology Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Public Apology The original Zhao Family Patriarch who had co along, being Zhao Pulin’s great-grandfather Zhao Mingqiang, also wanted to argue a few points with the brigade commander.
But he only heard the brigade commander say, “Director Wang has already instructed about tomorrow’s matters and that a report must be given to the commune.”
Once the Zhao family mbers heard this, they abandoned the idea of further advocating for themselves; after all, it was Zhao Xiaoi’s behavior that had crossed the line, and it wasn’t possible to go head to head with the commune officials over her.
So, it wasn’t long before the Zhao family mbers returned the way they had co.
Seeing that the Zhao family had left, the brigade commander, his wife, and Accountant Sun finally departed together.
The next day, Luo Qiao got up early to get ready and heated up the soy milk she had ground in her Spatial Warehouse the night before, and also stir-fried two dishes on another stove, sautéed green beans and spicy shredded potatoes.
She also used the soy pulp to make a pancake by adding so flour, green onions, cilantro, carrots, salt, sichuan pepper powder, and the last remaining pheasant egg from yesterday. She waited until the soy milk was ready and then poured it out.
After cleaning the pan and drying it on low heat, she brushed a layer of oil on it and fried the other side of the soy pulp pancake to a golden brown, which was incredibly fragrant. She made quite a lot, keeping out what she needed for breakfast today, and stored the rest in the underground warehouse.
She planned to use the midday period in the coming days to go up the mountains and prepare more to have at hand whenever she got hungry.
After breakfast and tidying up the kitchen, she took out a bamboo tube she had found in her Spatial Warehouse.
The bamboo tube wasn’t very large; such thick bamboo couldn’t be found in the north, but if anyone asked, she would simply say it was a gift from soone at the farm.
She heated so water in the outer kitchen. Without smoke from the kitchen, people might get suspicious, so heating water served a dual purpose: she could bring it to work to drink when she was thirsty.
By the ti Luo Qiao arrived at the riverbank, many people had already gathered. Today was the start of spring planting, and no one dared to be late.
When Qiao Lianlian saw Luo Qiao arrive, she waved her over.
Luo Qiao called out obediently, “Auntie.”
Qiao Lianlian smiled and said, “Co over here quickly. Zhao’s Second Daughter will have to apologize to you later.”
Then she whispered to Luo Qiao, “Did you hear anything last night?”
Luo Qiao knew what Auntie Gao ant; she certainly couldn’t tell her she had heard the noise but hadn’t co out, haha.
So she also whispered, “Auntie, I went to bed early last night. Did sothing happen in the village?”
Seeing that Luo Qiao seed unaware of the events, Qiao Lianlian, not wanting to stress her, didn’t bring up last night’s incident. After all, not many people knew about it.
Before long, the brigade commander stood up and announced, “Today, we have two things to address. First, Zhao Pulin’s daughter, Zhao Xiaoi, must apologize to Luo Qiao in front of everyone.
As for why she must apologize, I believe everyone knows, so I won’t take up more ti elaborating. Spring planting is upon us, but Director Wang from the commune has still requested that we take this opportunity to educate everyone.
Illegally seizing other people’s property without their consent, that is, with the intent of unlawful possession, constitutes robbery, which is an offense. If reported to the police, it can lead to imprisonnt depending on the severity of the case.
Thus, I hope that all mbers will rember not to do things they might regret, causing harm to themselves and others, and bringing sha to their families and our village.”
“Because this is Zhao Xiaoi’s first offense and Luo Qiao has been generous enough to let the village handle it, Zhao Xiaoi must personally apologize to Luo Qiao and promise that yesterday’s incident will not happen again.”
Reluctantly, Zhao Xiaoi went up to the platform and said to Luo Qiao, who stood below, “I’m sorry; I won’t do it again. Please forgive .”
