Su Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.
You only realize how little money you have when you need it.
I've been too idle lately; I need to find another way to make money.
Now is not the time to think about this.
Su Qiao returned to Zhao Dasao's side.
"Sister-in-law, I can pay for Brother Zhao's medical expenses in advance."
Sister-in-law Zhao looked up in disbelief, tears welling in her eyes.
That's 1000 yuan!
What kind of family can just take it out like that?
Su Qiao pointed to Lu Xiangze standing not far away and introduced him, "That's my boyfriend. He used to be a soldier, so he can't stand seeing soldiers being mistreated. He agreed to lend me that money."
Sister-in-law Zhao knew she was being shameful, but she had no choice.
If they can't raise the medical expenses soon, Old Zhao might really not make it to the hospital.
She knew that Lao Zhao might be angry when he woke up, but she couldn't care less.
"I'll write an IOU right now, and we'll pay you back later."
As she spoke, Sister-in-law Zhao tried to stuff all the tickets she was going to sell on the black market into Su Qiao's hands.
Su Qiao took two snack tickets as a token gesture.
The rest were pushed back.
"You still have many expenses at home, so keep it for now and give it to me after you've recovered."
Sister-in-law Zhao was extremely grateful.
Her emotions were written all over her face.
It's much better now.
Su Qiao took the money and gave it to Zhao Dasao, and also accepted her IOU.
I casually put it in my wallet.
Zhao Da Sao didn't go home; she went straight to the hospital.
She planned to go directly to the city with Lao Zhao to have the surgery.
She knew perfectly well that if she went home, she probably wouldn't have a single penny left.
Fortunately, she took all her family documents and money with her when she went out today.
She quickly obtained the necessary permits and boarded a bus to the city that very evening.
This happened.
Su Qiao lost interest in shopping and went straight home.
Seeing that she was in low spirits, Lu Xiangze gently hugged her when she got home.
The hug was fleeting.
Before Su Qiao could react, he had already left.
"Thank you."
Lu Xiangze replied, "There's no need for thanks between us."
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed a strong gaze.
"Why aren't you kissing him yet? There's no one else here."
The hushed voice reached their ears.
The two of them turned their heads at the same time.
Then I saw a dark blue corner of clothing peeking out from the corner of the wall.
Su Qiao gave Lu Xiangze a wink.
Lu Xiangze walked over and saw Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu standing against the wall.
It was pressed tightly against the wall.
He met Lu Xiangze's gaze.
Grandma Lu chuckled dryly, "My dear grandson, what a coincidence! I've run into you here."
"I never expected to run into you while I was exercising. What a coincidence! Isn't that right, old man?"
Grandma Lu nudged Grandpa Lu with her elbow.
Grandpa Lu, who had been pretending to be dead, finally turned around.
"Yes, what a coincidence."
Do you even believe that reason yourself?
Grandma Lu shook her head honestly, "I just wanted to see how things are going for you, my dear grandson. You can't do this. What's the point of hugging someone if you can't win over a girl..."
Lu Xiangze was afraid that his grandmother would say something shocking again, so he immediately interrupted her.
"You should go back first, it won't be safe after dark."
Grandma Lu could only slowly make her way home.
When I reached the entrance of the educated youth compound, I suddenly turned around.
She saw Su Qiao waving at her.
She responded enthusiastically immediately.
"Goodbye, granddaughter-in-law." With that, she went home contentedly.
Su Qiao looked at the two of them, who were acting like old children, and really had no way to deal with them.
Lu Xiangze turned around and apologized somewhat embarrassedly.
Su Qiao finally seized the opportunity, "There's no need for apologies between us. Besides, Grandpa and Grandma are quite lovely. Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure."
Lu Xiangze felt much more at ease.
With such a distraction, her original mood naturally vanished.
Everyone goes back to their homes.
When Su Qiao returned, she was surprised to see Xiao Bai reading a book.
The cover is all colorful and flashy; it doesn't look like a proper book at all.
Sure enough, as soon as Su Qiao approached, she saw the following written on the open page:
...He put his arm around her waist, and their breaths gradually drew closer...
"noob!"
Xiao Bai quickly closed the book.
The book disappeared.
"What's wrong, my dear master?"
Were you reading a romance novel just now?
Xiao Bai chuckled, "I... I just had nothing better to do. I just took a look..."
It dares not reveal the real reason.
Last time, it mocked Lu Xiangze, who only dared to cover Su Qiao with a blanket and then stare at her longingly after she fell asleep.
Lu Xiangze turned the tables on him.
He mocked it for not even knowing what love is, and for laughing here.
Unless it can rattle off ten strategies in one go.
Otherwise, it's just nonsense.
How can we tolerate this?
Xiao Bai immediately agreed.
That's why I wanted to read what was written in the novel.
After all, it was just an innocent and naive little spirit.
Unexpectedly, I was caught before I even finished reading the first book.
Su Qiao was amused by Xiao Bai's guilty look.
This was the first time she had ever seen such a rich array of expressions on its face.
That's so interesting.
Finally, she took pity on Xiaobai and let her go without asking any further questions.
In the evening, Su Qiao rested and recuperated in her private space as usual.
Suddenly, Lu Xiangze came to find her.
"I have to leave for a while. I'm going on a business trip again. I'll take those groceries with me while I'm at it."
As he spoke, he tentatively reached out his hand, then withdrew it.
His gaze was exceptionally solemn.
It was as if he was about to do something dangerous.
Su Qiao panicked and took out a small bottle of spiritual spring water.
Lu Xiangze hung the small bottle around his neck.
I'm leaving tonight, so I won't bother you tomorrow. Goodbye in advance, goodnight.
As he was about to walk back to the next room, he rushed back and gave Su Qiao a big hug.
His head rested on her shoulder, and his arms were tightly wrapped around her waist.
The force seemed to express his reluctance to part.
Su Qiao wasn't angry at his sudden action; she simply hugged him back quietly.
She tilted her head slightly and whispered, "I'm waiting for you to come back safe and sound."
Lu Xiangze nodded emphatically.
Lu Xiangze set off early the next morning.
Because Grandma Lu brought breakfast.
She knew Su Qiao's cooking skills, so naturally she couldn't let her eat raw food alone at home.
She's going to be my future granddaughter-in-law, after all. Since my grandson's gone to work, this is a good opportunity to get to know her better.
So, every time it was mealtime, Grandma Lu would bring her whole family to Su Qiao's house.
She cooked for her, while Su Qiao did the dishes; the division of labor was very clear.
We get along like a family.
Su Qiao quite likes her current life.
Grandma Lu was very satisfied with Su Qiao after spending these days together.
Perhaps if Lu Xiangze were willing to get married, she could pick out any good partner.
Coincidentally, the gift she had asked someone to buy for her earlier also arrived.
They were all sent to Su Qiao's courtyard at once.
Fearing being reported, he didn't let the villagers know.
Su Qiao wanted to refuse, but Grandma Lu said it was a gift for the engagement.
They hadn't given each other gifts before their engagement. Now that they had the chance, they naturally wanted to make up for it.
