Luo Tiancheng nodded after listening to Luo Qiao's words and said, "Alright, then I'll have to trouble you."
Having heard what Luo Qiao said, Luo Tiancheng felt relieved, thinking that it would be great if he could get his share, but if not, at least he had tried.
Watching Luo Tiancheng walk away, she thought of the kind-hearted old woman. Without Grandma Luo, the original owner might have lost her life early on; back then, with so many children in the big house, it was understandable that no one looked after her.
After collecting her graduation certificate and photo, everyone exchanged contact information, and she made arrangements with Xiao Ya to come to Capital City earlier when reporting for duty, then left the school.
On the way home, Luo Qiao found a payphone to call Lu Yichen: "Hello, could you please get Lu Yichen for me?"
"Just a moment."
Soon, she heard footsteps and a magnetic, pleasant voice came through the phone: "This is Lu Yichen, who's this?"
"Brother Chen, it's me."
"Qiaoqiao, have you finished with everything on your end? When are you coming back to the Capital?" The joy in his voice was noticeably greater than before.
"I've taken care of my matters here, but I need to go to the farm with Second Brother this afternoon to pay respects to Grandma Luo. I'll be taking the bus back to Capital City tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay, I'll pick you up at the station then."
"If you're busy, don't make a special trip, I'll be with Second Brother. Besides, he has already mailed all my stuff this morning."
"Alright, got it." But in his heart, he was thinking that the bus would arrive in the morning and he was definitely going to pick her up.
After they finished discussing their matters, Luo Qiao finally brought up, "Brother Chen, do you know anyone at Ji City Steel Factory?"
Lu Yichen asked, "What's the matter, is something wrong?"
Luo Qiao recounted the issue Luo Tiancheng had mentioned earlier today: "Could you ask someone to look into it for me?"
Lu Yichen knew about the Luo Family in Ji City; indeed, he had made investigations before, and Luo Tiancheng seemed to be quite decent, so he replied, "Alright, don't worry about it, I'll ask for you."
Since she was around colleagues, she couldn't talk about anything else, so they chatted for a bit and then hung up the phone.
When Luo Qiao arrived at the farm with Luo Xuyuan, she found that Elder Qin wasn't the gatekeeper anymore; upon asking, she learned that Elder Qin had been sick and was now recuperating at home.
Luo Qiao asked, "What sickness does he have, is it serious?"
The new gatekeeper replied, "It seems to be a problem with his back; he was in the hospital for quite a long time and is now recovering at his younger son's place."
Luo Qiao casually asked, "Where does his younger son live now?"
Caught off guard, the new gatekeeper said, "I am not really sure. If you want to know, you could ask Fat Auntie's family inside the farm; they visited Old Qin not long ago."
Luo Qiao expressed her thanks and went with her Second Brother to Grandma Luo's grave. It was evident that someone had looked after the gravesite. She placed the offerings she brought and said, "Grandma, I'm here to see you. I've finished my college entrance exams and will be going back to Capital City for university when the new term starts.
Uncle mentioned today that the steel factory might be allocating apartments, and I will do my best to help fulfill his wish. I'm doing well now, so you can rest in peace."
Luo Xuyuan, who was usually quiet, first bowed three times to Old Madam Luo's grave: "Grandma Luo, greetings; I am Luo Qiao's Second Brother, Luo Xuyuan.
In fact, I used to despise the Luo Family because of your son and his wife. If not for them, my little sister would not have suffered so much. But now, I still want to say thank you for taking care of my sister in those difficult times.
Let's consider the past grievances settled. As long as your son's family does not provoke trouble, I will not trouble them. But if they ever come after my sister's well-being, I won't hesitate to act."
Luo Xuyuan had made a special effort to inquire about his sister's foster family yesterday, and hearing the results had been satisfying, yet he worried that the family might come after her once they learned of her situation.
So, he said these words in front of Old Madam Luo's grave; he had already decided that since his sister had given him a fresh start at life, he would spend the rest of his days protecting her and needed to become stronger to do so.
After paying their respects, Luo Qiao visited Director Tiong to drop off some things she had prepared in advance to thank him for watching over Grandma Luo's grave. She also inquired about Old Qin's younger son's address before finally leaving the farm.
