Chapter 956: Chapter 956: The Enviable Dowry Chapter 956: Chapter 956: The Enviable Dowry After returning to the office, Luo Qiao imdiately called Lu Yichen and asked if there were any available staff ready to take over positions. An hour later, two Changhe brand microvans arrived.
Twelve uniford security personnel alighted and quickly took over the managent of the front and back gates of the factory, responsible for the security and theft prevention within the premises.
The original security staff at the factory were initially reassigned to other types of work.
Seeing that everything was well arranged, Luo Qiao then left the garnt factory.
Over the next few days, Lu Yiting’s dowry items were delivered to the courtyard one after another, including a refrigerator, a washing machine, a television, a standing fan, a won’s 26-inch bicycle, and a set of sofas.
Two brocade blankets, two pink peony bed sheets, two pairs of pillowcases, two enal basins, two sets of wedding toiletries, two thermoses, and two of the latest suitcases.
Six quilts, two mattresses, as well as eight sets of clothing, six pairs of shoes, and so other small items.
This dowry certainly caused a sensation in the courtyard. Every day after work, people ca to look at the dowry, filling young girls with envy and many aunties and moms from the courtyard with regret for not having arranged a marriage for their sons earlier, all of them coveting the dowry.
Luo Qiao was originally supposed to contribute the majority of the dowry, but Lu Xinyi, Lu Yixuan, and Wang Xiaoxin would not have it, resulting in Elder Gu stepping in and offering to contribute his share, thus they evenly divided it into four parts.
Gu Qianru, the younger aunt, did not get involved with them and simply gave three hundred yuan as a token.
Luo Qiao hired Master Lv, who had previously helped her renovate her room, to do a simple refurbishnt of her younger sister’s room, with the main addition being broken glass atop the courtyard walls as a precaution.
Fortunately, the police station was not far from the house, so there was so assurance of safety.
During this period, the case at the police station was also resolved. Wu Xiaomin was sentenced to two years in prison, and her husband to one year. After hearing the news, her mother ca over, insisting that her son-in-law, Lu Ningzhou, bail them out.
Driven to irritation, Lu Ningzhou threatened to go straight to the military to seek help from his younger uncle if she continued to make trouble, making the old lady leave reluctantly.
Lu Ningzhou still called his uncle in the military to explain everything in detail. After so silence, the uncle said, “Don’t worry, my older sister has her own dignity and no one else to bla.”
It seed that the uncle from the military must’ve spoken to the family because after that, the mother-in-law stopped bothering them.
Lu Ningzhou’s wife, Wu Xiaofang, didn’t bla her husband for the situation, stating that her older sister brought it upon herself and it did not affect their relationship. Still, from ti to ti, she helped her two nephews who were living alone.
Luo Qiao went back to the Gu family ho before the fifteenth to acclimatize Yanyan and Yueyue to being with Rong Daniang and Elder Rong.
After school started, Luo Qiao beca busy. Her master’s thesis had been submitted to the various committee mbers before the New Year, and upon the start of the sester, the graduate school arranged for her defense. The defense was packed with no empty seats.
The defense was splendid, highly specialized, and extrely rigorous, causing the committee mbers to nod in approval frequently. Her thesis defense ended perfectly.
Right after stepping out of the defense venue, she was called to the principal’s office. The school had a major project and asked if she was willing to join, led by Professor Guo.
Luo Qiao did not imdiately agree. She said she needed to think about it. The principal could understand, knowing that she had the talent to be proud of. Otherwise, soone else would have accepted imdiately. However, Luo Qiao wanted to et with Professor Guo first to understand the details before deciding.
After leaving Professor Guo’s office, Luo Qiao noticed it was still early and went back to her master’s place. However, Master Lv wasn’t there today.
When Feng Shumin saw Luo Qiao returning, she asked, “Qiaoqiao, why do you seem so preoccupied?”
Luo Qiao replied, “I’ve passed my thesis defense, and starting this sester I’ll be pursuing my Ph.D. Now, the school wants to join a project, but this project requires results by the end of this year, and it’s quite challenging.
Professor Chang said there would only be one day of rest each month. With Yanyan and Yueyue still so young, if I can only return ho once after such a long ti, they might not recognize by then.”
