Chapter 460: Chapter 460 Nobody Wants to Feel Uncomfortable Chapter 460: Chapter 460 Nobody Wants to Feel Uncomfortable Last ti he visited, his second son Xuyuan was also able to go out for walks on his own. As long as the distance wasn’t too far, he basically had no problems. Now, every morning, he would take one or two laps around the small grove behind their house.
So days ago, he also passed the school’s examination. Soone had taken care of enrolling him in school on his behalf, and by now, he had finished reviewing all his high school textbooks. These days, aside from tutoring Big Brother in cultural courses, he was busy solving practice problems.
All of this had been brought on by his daughter. Luo Haotian looked up at Luo Qiao with eyes full of gratitude and doting.
Luo Qiao said, “Dad, on our way back, we saw Qiao ng at Deputy Director Qiao’s doorstep. Has she moved back in now?”
Luo Haotian said, “A few days ago, Qiao ng’s stepmother didn’t want her to continue studying and found her a temporary job, telling her to work to support herself. She threw tantrums at ho several tis to no avail; her father didn’t dare interfere.
Yesterday afternoon, she ran out from ho and ca over to seek Deputy Director Qiao’s support.”
Luo Qiao said, “So, is there an outco?”
Luo Haotian said, “Last night, Qiao ng’s dad and stepmother ca over and had a fight. Her stepmother made a harsh statent: either their senior house takes charge, or they should stay out of their junior house’s affairs. After dropping this ultimatum, she dragged Qiao ng’s dad away with her.”
Luo Siyuan, while swallowing a mouthful of food, said, “Qiao ng is so scheming, like a sieve. She actually wanted this to happen. She probably couldn’t even get enough to eat at her birth father’s place and must have been looking for an opportunity to return to her uncle’s house early on.”
Luo Siyan, who usually spoke little, actually joined in, “Perhaps Deputy Director Qiao’s younger brother and his wife had the sa idea and just fell in with Qiao ng’s wishes.
Initially, they didn’t want to take Qiao ng back. Now with all this drama, the people are gone, which fits right in with her stepmother’s wishes. Qiao ng’s birth father, being a man, surely wouldn’t have been unable to take charge of his own household. It’s likely that this situation also suited him. He just went with the flow.
His daughter doesn’t have to stay at ho anymore; living with Big Brother, she has a good life and education and gets to eat well. And if she becos successful one day, she won’t need to look after them. This man has made a really cunning calculation.”
Luo Qiao felt that her third brother was right; regardless, Qiao ng’s father and stepmother wouldn’t be at a loss. Either she goes to work, or she stays at her uncle’s place. This whole family is truly a shrewd bunch.
Luo Haotian said, “Qiaoqiao, when you leave this afternoon, take so of the dried vegetables from the kitchen cabinet for your grandparents. They ntioned a few days ago when your Big Brother brought so, they really enjoyed it.”
Luo Qiao laughed and said, “That’s no problem. I’ll dry more this year. By the ti the fresh vegetables co in, he will probably be tired of eating them.”
The family ate their al in high spirits, and not a single person brought up Ning Xueling; no one wanted to feel uncomfortable.
After dinner, Luo Qiao cleaned the kitchen while Luo Siyan and Luo Siyuan began to clean upstairs and downstairs. Luo Haotian wasn’t idle either; he tidied up the yard. After finishing, Luo Qiao called them over for tea.
Luo Qiao was brewing Biluochun tea. Luo Haotian ca in after washing his hands and said, “I could sll the fragrance of tea from afar.”
Luo Qiao asked, “This tea is good, where did you buy it from?”
Luo Haotian took a closer look and said, “Last ti a comrade-in-arms ca to Capital City on business, he brought it for . I’ve been reluctant to drink it until now.”
Luo Qiao smiled and said, “If you like it, just brew it and drink. When I head south next ti, I’ll bring so back for you. Have you finished the tea I brought you last ti?”
Upon hearing his daughter ask about the tea, Luo Haotian’s smile vanished, “Your mother took all of it to give away. I only had it once when you ca back.”
After hearing this, Luo Qiao liked Ning Xueling even less, “Then why didn’t you say so? I still have so. I’ll bring it over next ti I co back. From now on, I’ll take care of your tea.”
Luo Haotian laughed, “Not just yet, you’re still in school. Wait until you start working, then you can take care of Dad’s tea.”
Luo Qiao smiled, didn’t continue the conversation, but kept the matter in mind.
Luo Siyuan ca over, took a sip from his tea cup, and comnted, “It’s fragrant and strong, and there’s a sweet aftertaste. This tea is indeed excellent.”
Luo Haotian said, “You cheeky kid, could it be bad when my comrade-in-arms sent it? Their family hails from a tea-producing region.”
