Chapter 743: Chapter 743 What Happened to That Day Afterward Chapter 743: Chapter 743 What Happened to That Day Afterward Lu Yichen watched as people walked away before closing the door, “Eat quickly, if it gets cold, it won’t taste good.”
Luo Qiao said, “These dumplings have two different fillings, try them.”
Lu Yichen picked one up, dipped it in the vinegar Luo Qiao had just poured over the lid of her lunchbox, ate one, looked up at Luo Qiao and gave her a thumbs-up, mumbling, “Delicious.”
Luo Qiao felt pleased seeing him enjoy the food, and her mood improved too.
Lu Yichen certainly had a big appetite; Luo Qiao had eaten about fifteen or sixteen dumplings and so vegetables and was full. The rest were all left for him.
Luo Qiao frowned at him, “Aren’t you going to burst, you fool?”
Lu Yichen replied, “I am a bit stuffed. I’ll wash the dishes; you just wait here.”
With a goofy smile, he took the lunchbox and thermos out of the office but imdiately lost his smile once outside, shooting a glare at the colleagues piling up like a tower of monks in the opposite office.
Even when he was far away, he could still hear their laughter and chattering.
When Lu Yichen ca back after doing the dishes, he took out a cup from under the desk that obviously wasn’t his, poured a glass of water and handed it to Luo Qiao, “Have so water.”
Luo Qiao looked at the cup and asked, “Whose cup is this?”
Lu Yichen looked at the cup, “I ca across it when I was out on a case and thought it was quite special, so I bought it. I thought you’d like it.”
Luo Qiao raised her head and inquired, “This cup should co in a pair, right?”
Lu Yichen smiled and took another one from below, and Luo Qiao took it, “Not bad, let’s use them as couple’s cups.”
Seeing her happy put a smile in Lu Yichen’s eyes.
Luo Qiao handed the cup back and inquired about the house, “How did things go after the other day’s incident?”
“I re-applied for the apartnt previously occupied by Deputy Director Yao, who was transferred away. I bought the necessary materials yesterday afternoon, and since the workers have done it before, they’ll be able to finish the job quickly without taking much ti.”
“What about those two people?”
“The two families reconciled, and they’re getting married in a few days. They won’t be living here anymore; Qiao Dajun’s real father has a small courtyard where they will live.”
“That’s a relief; at least it spares people in the family compound from awkwardness.”
“You too, always attracting bees and butterflies. This ti, raise the courtyard wall directly.”
“Alright, it’s a good excuse; no one else can say anything about it.”
As they were speaking, loud noises ca from outside. Lu Yichen said to Luo Qiao, “Wait here, I’ll go check it out.”
Lu Yichen got up and walked outside.
After finishing her glass of water, Luo Qiao, curious, followed him out.
The wailing mother was being comforted by a female police officer, surrounded by a dozen people. After listening for a while, Luo Qiao understood; the old woman’s only daughter had fallen in love with a young man from a village in the suburbs a few years back.
The parents had not agreed to it initially, but having no choice given their daughter’s willingness, they eventually relented. After the marriage, not wanting their daughter to suffer hardship, they let the couple stay in Capital City with them.
The young man had no job, and he wasn’t a Capital City resident either, aning the food for three had to stretch to four. While they managed, it wasn’t without difficulty.
Two years ago, the daughter fell ill while pregnant, but for the sake of the unborn child, she adamantly refused dical treatnt, enduring pain so severe it made her wish for death, wasting away so much that she beca unrecognizable.
During the daughter’s severe illness, to bring in more inco, they allowed her husband to take over her job. This also paved the way for transferring his residency to the city.
After the child’s birth, the daughter’s condition was beyond dical help. They had hoped it was just a tumor on her leg but never expected that it would claim her life.
The child is now a year old and extrely adorable. A few days ago, the son-in-law said he wanted to take the child to visit his hotown, and the elders didn’t think much of it and let him go; after all, the grandparents would want to see the grandchild, a natural sentint.
But when the son-in-law returned today without the child, the in-laws were shocked to learn that the grandparents in the village demanded that if they wanted to see their grandson again, the house in Capital City must be transferred to the son-in-law’s na.
Upon hearing this, the elderly couple could not agree. Though they only had one daughter, they were not to be trifled with. They imdiately gathered their brothers and nephews from the neighboring rooms.
After retelling the story, everyone felt that the son-in-law was going too far and took him directly to the public security bureau.
