Chapter 1338: Chapter 1338 There Must be Some Compensation for the Mistake

Luo Qiao drove away and first found a place to store the food from the car into a storage space before continuing on the road.

Once out of Capital City, there were no streetlights on either side of the road, and it was pitch black. Driving purely by feel, it’s a good thing that Luo Qiao was at the wheel, as a novice likely would have ended up in a ditch.

The place they were in now was not on the main road, but all dirt paths full of potholes, making it really tough to drive.

When Luo Qiao arrived two hours later and saw lights in the distance, she put all the food back in the car and even took out an old quilt from her space to cover it up.

As she got closer, she found everyone in the chilly wind, carefully collecting evidence bit by bit.

This was their last stop for the day. They had just arrived when Luo Qiao had called earlier.

Seeing a car approaching, a police officer came over to stop it, but after recognizing the license plate, everyone felt a heartwarming sense of appreciation, no wonder the chief cherishes his own wife so much, the mutual concern, that must be love.

After the car engine was turned off, a police officer approached: "Sister-in-law, we don’t know what to say, thank you for going through the trouble."

Luo Qiao joked with a smile: "Who told me I’m part of the police family? I’m just looking out for our chief, you guys are just on the way."

The people around laughed: "Right, right, right, on the way, on the way, we’re happy to be on the way, too."

Luo Qiao said with a smile: "Let everyone take turns to have some hot food before continuing with work, you can’t get by on an empty stomach."

Lu Yichen came over after getting the news: "It’s so late, why didn’t you let Qi Ling bring it over, you’re getting naughtier."

Luo Qiao, afraid that others would hear him, pinched him and retorted: "Am I not worried that the food would be cold by the time he brought it over? I just wanted you to have something warm to eat, you’re really too unpleasant."

Lu Yichen took Luo Qiao’s hand and whispered, "And am I not worried you’d get tired? Alright, Qiao Bao, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have snapped at you."

Luo Qiao seized the opportunity to make a request: "Shouldn’t there be compensation for being wrong?"

Lu Yichen glanced around: "Fine, whatever compensation you want, you make the call, will that do?"

Luo Qiao nodded: "That’s more like it, I forgive you. As for compensation, I’ll let you know once I’ve thought it through. Go and have your meal."

Everyone had been running around various scenes that afternoon, without even the time to drink water, so they didn’t expect sister-in-law to be so thoughtful, being provided with not only food but also a large thermos of porridge which was incredibly heartwarming.

Fortunately, Luo Qiao was clever, she remembered to bring bowls and chopsticks before leaving, otherwise, there would be food but no way to eat it.

Today, Lu Yichen didn’t have any special treatment and ate heartily alongside everyone else, with his wife by his side.

Firstly, the food was indeed delicious, everyone had been busy all afternoon and was starving, and secondly, the workload for the day was significant, fearing they would have to spend the entire night here, they all hoped to finish the work as early as possible.

So in less than half an hour, the food was all eaten.

With food in their stomachs and timely replenishment of fluids from the porridge, everyone’s spirits were high on this cold night.

After packing everything up, Luo Qiao didn’t stay long. She spoke with Lu Yichen for a few moments and then drove off.

However, halfway through the journey, she stopped again, recalling that there was a reservoir dispatch office not far away, still lit up. Luo Qiao drove there, got out of the car, knocked on the yard gate, and upon its opening, she explained her arrival.

The woman warmly let her in. People in this era are still quite simple and sincere.

From the car, or more accurately, from her space, Luo Qiao took out ginger and brown sugar and borrowed their kitchen to cook a big pot of ginger sugar water. She cleaned the large thermos that previously carried porridge and filled it to the brim with ginger sugar water.

Luo Qiao, taking some fruit from the car, thanked the woman before departing.

When everyone saw Luo Qiao’s car return, they were puzzled, wondering why the sister-in-law came back again.

Lu Yichen, thinking something might have happened, rushed over anxiously: "Qiaoqiao, why have you come back?"

Luo Qiao got out of the car: "It’s nothing, don’t worry everyone."

Walking to the back of the car, she opened the trunk: "Not far from here is a reservoir dispatch office, there’s a couple on duty, I borrowed their kitchen and made a large thermos of ginger sugar water for you all. In this freezing weather, you’ll have at least something to sustain you through the night."

Lu Yichen hugged her tightly, whispering in her ear: "Thank you, my dear wife."
