Chapter 102 Tribute to Heroes

Lu Yichen said, “I don’t need these coupons either. Take them. If you won’t accept them, then take away what you brought. How can I always take advantage of you?”

Helplessly, Luo Qiao tried to take one of the coupons, but Lu Yichen stuffed them directly into Luo Qiao’s hand and walked towards the kitchen.

Luo Qiao opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, she couldn’t speak.

She threw the coupons into the basket and placed them on the ground.

She called out to Lu Yichen, suddenly doing a graceful and humorous bow like those seen on Douyin, then said, “Tribute to the hero!”

This action stunned Lu Yichen; he never expected Luo Qiao, this young girl, to make such an unexpected gesture, warming his heart for reasons he didn’t understand.

Luo Qiao said seriously, “You are not useless. You are a hundred times, a thousand times stronger than those who are physically whole but idle and reckless all day. Keep going!”

After saying this, she picked up the basket on the ground and walked out of the yard. As she finished speaking, her mood soured, and she trod step by step along the muddy road towards home.

Lu Yichen stood at the kitchen door, watching where Luo Qiao disappeared. He stood motionless for a long time before coming back to his senses. Suddenly, his mind cleared up, and his mood changed.

Luo Qiao hadn’t expected that her gesture and a few words could make Lu Yichen suddenly come to think of many things, dispelling the pent-up frustration in his heart. Instead, he felt refreshed.

Back home after dinner, with the weather already darkening, Luo Qiao closed the gate and entered her space. She practiced martial arts and yoga, thinking about the fabric she brought back from Yao house’s last time.

This fabric was given by both the Yang family and the Yuan family, enough to make a set of clothes. Fortunately, there was no shortage of scissors in her space, and making clothes was also her strength. In her past life, she had often followed her mentors and senior sisters around, busy with tasks.

Two sets of clothes were made that night, and she indeed didn’t sleep early.

In the capital city, the old man of the Yuan family, Yuan Huaijian, received Luo Qiao’s letter. He noticed that her handwriting had improved a lot compared to before, thinking that she had returned to Ji City to study and practice martial arts. However, the more he read, the angrier he became.

He nearly smashed the table, frightening everyone in the house into silence. His eldest son, Yuan Weizhou, hurried over and asked, “Dad, what’s wrong with you?”

Mr. Yuan Huaijian slammed the letter on the table, his eyes full of anger. “How could there be such shameless people in this world? No, I must bring that girl to the capital.”

“By the way, go make a phone call. The Luo family in Ji City no longer needs our support. From now on, they don’t need to consider our Yuan family. Do it now, this is intolerable.”

The eldest son didn’t dare delay and immediately dialed the phone in front of the whole family. After a brief conversation, he hung up.

Mr. Yuan Huaijian said to his second daughter-in-law, “Book me a train ticket. I’m going to Ji City.”

The family members became anxious and tried to persuade him. The old man, Mr. Yuan Huaijian, had suffered a lot before going to the farm, and his health wasn’t great. If it weren’t for Mr. Yang from the farm secretly nurturing him for several years, he might have been in worse condition by now.

After the Yuan family members read Luo Qiao’s letter, they began to criticize the Luo family’s actions, all to ease Mr. Yuan Huaijian’s mind.

The youngest son of the Yuan family took charge of the matter, saying he had a business trip in a few days and could help him check on the situation.
