So they quickly washed their faces, changed their clothes, and fixed their hair, and then the family set off. It was already past four in the afternoon.
They walked towards Xia Qingqing's house in a mighty procession. When they were downstairs, they were afraid that people would recognize them, so they walked with their heads down.
After all, this is also the family building of the furniture factory, so it is normal that some people would recognize them. When she was recognized on the street before, people called her the factory director's wife, but now it's different.
When they walked downstairs, they were caught up by Xia Qingqing. She had been waiting at Luo's house for several hours but didn't see anyone. Her legs were numb from squatting, but the person still hadn't come back.
She first thought of going home to ask her grandfather and others. Although they were no longer working there, if Luo Zisen’s father was really arrested, they should be able to know such big news.
Who would have thought that as soon as she walked to the gate of the family compound, she saw Luo Zisen. At that time, they were almost at the stairs of their own house. Luo Zisen and others.
Xia Qingqing was very surprised when she saw them. She didn't know why they went to her house. She remembered that Luo's mother had said that as long as Luo Zisen got better, she would go to their house to cancel the engagement.
Xia Qingqing was a little flustered. If what happened to Luo's father was true, then just cancel it. Maybe then they would beg her not to leave Luo Zisen.
If that thing was a misunderstanding, that would be bad. What would I do if the engagement was cancelled? Where could I find such a gullible young man with a rich family?
So she strode forward and finally caught up with them before they entered the door. She patted Luo Zisen's shoulder from behind and looked at him with a pretty face.
But when he turned around, Xia Qingqing saw that he looked a little haggard and didn't seem to be in a very good mood. He couldn't guess what was going on.
After all, considering how much Luo Zisen likes her, she would be sad if he came to her house to break off the engagement. If his father was arrested, she would be even sadder.
So there was no way to guess what was going on. Seeing so many people standing here, she had no way to ask. Fortunately, at this time, Old Lady Xia opened the door from the inside.
Looking at the Luo family outside, Old Lady Xia frowned. It was obvious that they had also heard about what was happening outside. They were quite unpopular, especially after the engagement with the Luo family.
They became arrogant all of a sudden, looking down on everyone, and the neighbors around them hated them even more.
Even if Old Man Xia didn't go to work and his family didn't go anywhere else, they still found out because they had a group of neighbors who wanted to laugh at their family.
There have been a lot of people at their door since noon. Those people deliberately stood at their door and talked about this matter as loudly as possible.
As if afraid that they couldn't hear it, someone who had a grudge against their family went directly to their house to tell them about this matter.
He clearly had an expression of gloating, but he still said that he was worried about them. He talked about it in such detail that they had no choice but to listen.
So now Old Lady Xia didn't look at these people from the Luo family with a happy face, but she didn't do anything too excessive. After all, they didn't know why Deputy Director Luo was arrested.
If they found out that it was just a misunderstanding and he was still the deputy factory director, they would suffer a huge loss. So they just let them in unenthusiastically and did not kick them out.
After everyone in front had gone in, Old Lady Xia looked at Xia Qingqing who was following behind, walked out the door, and stood outside, whispering, "Aren't you at school? Why are you back, and with them? Let me ask you, do you know why Deputy Director Luo was arrested?"
When Xia Qingqing heard her grandmother say that Uncle Luo had been arrested, she said in shock, "This is true, not just some random rumor."
"Of course it's true. If it weren't true, there wouldn't be so many rumors out there. How come you don't know yet? Then why did you come back? Do you think it's easy for us to pay your tuition?"
Xia Qingqing quickly said, "No, no, I just saw that Brother Zisen didn't go this afternoon, and everyone in the class said that something happened at his family, so I wanted to come out and take a look."
Old Lady Xia said fiercely, "Forget it this time, but don't let it happen again. If you're skipping school again, don't go. This will save you money and give your brother two more meals of meat."
"Follow me when you enter the house. Don't talk nonsense. If you dare to speak, you'll have to wait for me until they leave."
Xia Qingqing nodded vigorously and followed her grandmother in. When they went in, everyone was already sitting on the sofa.
Looking at the person behind Old Lady Xia, Grandma Luo stood up and looked at her with a gentle smile, and gently asked Xia Qingqing to sit next to her.
The other members of the Luo family were also very kind, with a completely different attitude from before, which made her confused. She didn't know what was going on. She wanted to ask, but because everyone was looking at her, she didn't dare to speak.
I could only keep this doubt deep in my heart for now, and plan to ask Luo Zisen alone later.
Xia Qingqing remembered what her grandmother said before she came in, and sat down next to her obediently. Just as she sat down, before she could take a look at the situation, she heard Luo's mother speak.
"My dear relatives, why don't you see the mother of these three children?"
Mrs. Xia said unhappily, "He went to work."
"Good job, good job."
Old Man Xia said from the side: "Just tell me what you have to say. There's no need to beat around the bush."
"If we can help, we will, but we really don't have any help with your family's problem. We are just ordinary people. Do you have any relatives who can help?"
"To be honest, after we became in-laws, your family became the most powerful among our relatives, so we can't help you with that matter."
Grandma Luo was not angry at all. Instead, she smiled and said, "Look at what your in-laws are saying. Since we are here, it means that there are still powerful people in your family."
"Your granddaughter also knows this. She also saw it when we got engaged."
Old Lady Xia said with some disdain: "What kind of capable person is this? How come I don't know him? Are you being deceived by others?"
Luo's mother smiled and said, "How could that be possible? The girl your daughter-in-law brought here is a capable person. She knows the county magistrate of our county, and the county magistrate is very respectful to her."
"You say this is considered capable, so we came this time to ask you to help our family. We will soon be a family, and we will prosper together and suffer together."
"And if this thing is really done, I will agree to any conditions you ask for, whether it's a job or money, whatever you want."
