Chapter 1798: Chapter 1798: May I Ask Who You’re Looking For?

At this moment, a middle-aged man sitting silently spoke: “You said it yourselves, those boys are pretty skilled, they might not be ordinary people. It’s better to keep the peace and avoid trouble.”

“Big Brother, our Qiu Family is well-established, how can we tolerate this humiliation? How can you expect me to swallow this anger?”

“Since the girl isn’t willing, just let it go. If it really doesn’t work out, find a girl willing to marry your second brother from the countryside. Why do you have to focus on that girl?”

“It’s not like I insisted on marrying that girl to my second brother. It’s his Big Brother and Sister-in-law who somehow found out I was looking for a wife for my second brother, and they brought it up.”

“Then why did it go wrong? If someone uses this against us, what do you expect me to do to help you clean up the mess?”

“Big Brother, you’re being overly cautious. I have both video and audio recordings. Even if something really does happen, we’d still be the victims.”

“Alright, I think we should just drop it. Track down that couple and get the money back. If you can’t let go of today’s anger, then beat them up to vent.”

“So today, am I just going to take this beating for nothing?”

“We still need to figure out those people’s backgrounds before dealing with them, to avoid any mistakes.”

“Don’t worry, they’re classmates with that girl, and they came from over there. In this cold winter, they’re only wearing sportswear, without even a thick piece of clothing. What kind of background could they have?”

“Alright, just make sure you find out clearly. Don’t cause me any trouble.”

******

Huang Yuyan, as a classmate, knew of Xiao Ye and his reputation.

On the next day, the morning of the lunar New Year’s Eve, Mother Huang took her daughter and second daughter-in-law to inquire at the opposite side. It was so inappropriate.

The Lu Family was easy to ask about; they asked a child in their teens, and he directly led them there.

The Lu Family’s front gate wasn’t closed. They stood at the gate: “Is anyone home?”

Luo Qiao was about to write couplets, while Lu Yichen was helping her grind ink. The two were teasing each other with smiles and laughter, when they suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice. The dog barking came first.

The couple went out, and Luo Qiao looked at the strangers at the gate: “Who are you looking for?”

Mother Huang smiled and stepped forward trying to grab Luo Qiao’s hand, but Luo Qiao dodged it and stepped back: “Who are you people?”

Mother Huang awkwardly withdrew her hand and pulled her youngest daughter forward: “This is my daughter, Huang Yuyan. Yesterday, your son, oh, he’s my daughter’s classmate, helped us a lot. We came specifically to thank you today.”

Luo Qiao laughed out loud, “During the New Year, you came to thank us empty-handed?”

This remark made the faces of the three from the Huang family flush with embarrassment.

Mother Huang said awkwardly: “We came in a hurry and indeed forgot this. Rest assured, we won’t come short. We’ll go buy something in a moment.”

Luo Qiao smiled with a hint of sarcasm: “I was just joking, don’t take it seriously. My son often helps others; it’s quite a normal thing.”

The Huang family exchanged a look, and Huang Yuyan said: “Yesterday, we were really grateful to them. Thank you so much.”

Luo Qiao politely smiled: “I appreciate your gratitude on behalf of my son. Today is a day for family reunion, and I believe everyone is quite busy. You should hurry back to your tasks. They’re classmates, so it’s expected for them to do the right thing. Don’t worry about it.”

Luo Qiao was saying polite words, but there wasn’t much sincerity in her eyes, thinking that this family visiting at this time probably had ulterior motives.
