Chapter 210: Shitou’s Understanding is Heartbreaking

Luo Qiao turned to look at Lu Yichen. Lu Yichen cleared his throat lightly and said, “I’ll take this police officer outside to guard the courtyard.”

After saying that, he called the male police officer and they left the yard, walking to a slightly more distant place, keeping an eye on that section of the road, afraid that someone with bad intentions might come at this moment.

The female police officer in the courtyard was shocked when she saw the several scratches on Luo Qiao. Luo Qiao’s skin was tender now, a slight bump would cause bruising, let alone under those circumstances.

This sight wiped away any sympathy the female police officer had for Zhang Qiaoyan, who was still detained in the police station. She thought to herself that fortunately, this girl was lucky. If she had really fallen off the cliff or been hit or trampled by a cow, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

After seeing off the two police officers, the tenderness in Lu Yichen’s eyes was evident to anyone. He composed himself and said, “Tonight, I’ll cook. You’ll have to manage with it. I’ll try learning how to cook .”

At this moment, Lu Yichen deeply regretted why he hadn’t thought of learning how to cook on Luo Qiao earlier. In the past, he used to only care about studying, but now he realized the value of culinary skills. What a regret!

Shitou rushed in energetically and, upon seeing Luo Qiao, he ran up to her with a teary voice, asking, “Sister Luo Qiao, are you hurt anywhere?”

Luo Qiao said, “I’m fine. Where did you go? Why are you all sweaty and your clothes are so dirty?”

Shitou looked down at his clothes nervously and said, “I’ll wash them myself later. Sister Luo Qiao, I went to the Wang family. I saw Zhang Qiaoyan being taken away by the police.

Originally, I planned to come back with the villagers, but I overheard the village secretary and aunt Chunni saying they should stay there for a day or two before returning to the village. I wanted to see what they were doing over there.”

It turned out that after Shitou heard about Luo Qiao’s incident, he ran down from the mountain. By the time he arrived, Luo Qiao had already gone to the city. Later, he heard from the adults that it was Zhang Qiaoyan who had caused trouble, which made Shitou cry out of anger.

He also saw the police and many villagers following the village head to Wang family to find someone. He followed them too, wanting to see with his own eyes that bad person Zhang Qiaoyan being arrested by the police.

He saw Zhang Qiaoyan hiding behind her mother and grandmother, refusing to let the police get close, and even cursing at her own father. But no matter how much she resisted, she was still taken away by the police.

When no one was looking, he grabbed a clod of dirt by the roadside and fiercely threw it at Zhang Qiaoyan. After throwing it, he ran away. Zhang Qiaoyan turned around to find who had thrown it, but unfortunately, she couldn’t find anyone.

Luo Qiao patted Shitou’s head and said, “Shitou, these are all matters for adults. Sister Luo Qiao understands your thoughts, but you’re still young. In the future, you’re not allowed to follow people outside anymore. What if you encounter bad people on the road? How will you make us worry?”

Shitou lowered his head and said, “Okay, I understand. I will eat well, grow up quickly, and protect Sister Luo Qiao.”

Luo Qiao smiled and said, “Good, I’m looking forward to you growing up and protecting your sister.”

Upon hearing Luo Qiao’s words, Shitou climbed up the pole and said, “Then can I just call you Sister directly? Adding ‘Luo Qiao’ sounds distant.”

Luo Qiao suddenly laughed, “You little rascal, you even know about being close, haha.”

Furrowing his brows, Shitou asked, “Sister, are you really okay? Do you want to go inside and lie down for a while?”

Luo Qiao lightly tapped Shitou’s head, “I’m really fine, you don’t need to worry. I have a few scratches, sitting is better than lying down.”

Shitou furrowed his brow and said, “Okay then, do you want some water? Shall I pour some for you?”
