Chapter 122: Everyone Joins in the Bustle
At this remark, Li Xiulan’s face also showed some embarrassment. The incident had happened more than twenty days ago, and she would not have brought gifts if it hadn’t been for the villagers’ pressure that day.
The few women who had come along as witnesses felt somewhat ashamed as well, as they had all been pulled in by Li Xiulan, fearing that the villagers wouldn’t be aware of her coming to give thanks.
Just then, Wang Chunnian, the wife of the village secretary’s brother, came along with the couple, panting slightly. Wang Chunnian had hurriedly gathered some items to bring over after learning that Li Xiulan had taken people to Luo Qiao’s house.
Luo Qiao looked at the people entering through the courtyard gate, still a bit stunned. Since she had moved in here, aside from Lu Yichen’s initial visits, it was only the Zhao family that had come a few times. What kind of wind was blowing today that they all ended up here?
Luo Qiao said, "Auntie, what brings you here? Please, come in."
Wang Chunnian glanced at the neatly arranged courtyard and smiled, "You’re quite capable. We’ve always meant to thank you. That day, if it weren’t for your timely intervention, my brother-in-law’s family would have suffered a great deal."
Luo Qiao replied, "You can’t say that, it’s just that I happened to know a few things. I’m happy to help everyone, there’s no need to take it to heart."
Zhou Xiaomei, the sister-in-law of Wang Chunnian’s family, stepped forward and took Luo Qiao’s hand: "Luo Qiao, don’t say it like that. We’ve been neglectful in coming over to thank you because of the business before.
Please don’t be offended by our rudeness, auntie. If it wasn’t for you, my family would have been ruined. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
