Reborn as a Superpower Girl in the 80s-Chapter 811 Plotting

No matter what they thought, Luo Qiao had already packed up her things and was preparing to leave school. It was particularly cold today, so Luo Qiao wore a long down coat newly released from the clothing factory, taking the opportunity to advertise for the factory.

As soon as morning came, many classmates gathered around to ask where she bought the coat.

Luo Qiao gave them the addresses of several exclusive stores Lu Ningzhou had recently opened in Capital City, feeling it too verbose, and thought about having the factory print some business cards later. This way, she could simply hand one out whenever someone asked.

Di Manning, seeing Luo Qiao receiving so much attention, felt quite displeased. She looked at Tan Xiaoyan, whose eyes also seemed to be somewhat fiery, thinking to herself that their time would come.

Luo Qiao packed up her things and headed straight for the school gate, where Lu Yichen quickly stepped forward to take the things from her hand. "Anything else you need to take back?"

Luo Qiao patted her hands. "That’s all. I’ve been bringing things back gradually."

The couple first took the belongings back to the secondary courtyard and had lunch at home. Afterwards, they went to the large greenhouse in the back to pick some vegetables to bring along before heading to the public security families’ compound, where today her grandfather was going to measure for furniture as part of her dowry.

Since everything on the Gu family’s side was already prepared, her grandfather planned to build furniture according to the dimensions of the current home, and deliver it here before the wedding.

Not long after Luo Qiao and Lu Yichen arrived, Grandfather Luo Daoren and Second Brother Luo Xuyuan came over. Looking at the neatly kept yard, Luo Daoren said with a smile, "This place has a better environment than the previous yard, at least it’s quieter."

Luo Qiao said with a smile, "Granddad, there’s a patch of land just under one-tenth of an acre outside the yard. I plan to clean it up, and later on, we could even grow some vegetables."

Luo Daoren followed Luo Qiao out to take a look. "It’s not very large, but it should be enough for just the two of you."

He then added, "However, the soil needs to be deeply tilled, otherwise the vegetable shoots might not grow well."

Lu Yichen came over. "When spring comes, we’ll bring in some soil and build up the ground a bit thicker."

Luo Daoren nodded, "If you want it to grow well, you really do need to put in the effort."

After the measurements were taken, Lu Yichen brewed a pot of tea. "Grandpa, Second Brother, after we eat, I’ll take you back. This house hasn’t been warmed yet, so it’s a good opportunity to try out our stove."

Luo Qiao looked through the kitchen ingredients, planning to make braised pork, boiled pork slices, mushroom stir-fry with bok choy, homestyle tofu, a plate of sausage, spicy shredded potatoes, steam some rice, and finish with an egg soup—perfect!

She busied herself in the kitchen. After finishing the tasks in the yard, Lu Yichen let Grandpa and his second uncle go inside to rest, then entered the kitchen himself. "Qiaoqiao, what should I do?"

Luo Qiao looked at the ingredients laid out. "Peel a few potatoes for me, I’ll need them soon."

Working together, man and woman, made the job easier, and in no time at all, the meals were ready. She called Grandpa and Big Brother to come wash their hands and dine.

As Luo Daoren sat down, he spoke, "Yichen, after the new year you two will be getting married, and afterward, it seems you will spend more time here at this family compound. You should talk more about this place with Qiaoqiao, so she isn’t completely in the dark."

Lu Yichen nodded, "Okay, I’ll remember that."

At the Luo family home, Luo Jinwen gripped her cup tightly, her mind full of the conversation she had just overheard outside the study—she had not expected her father and brother to think of using Luo Qiao as a threat against Lu Yichen.

Though shocked, she thought Luo Qiao deserved it, feeling a mix of fear and excitement.

People in the compound often compared her unfavorably to that woman, and she was truly fed up. Lately, she had been constantly bickering with Sun Maolin, reflecting on the words she had heard people say in the compound.

They said that Lu Yichen had recently made another notable achievement, now a young deputy bureau chief, and with the current chief stepping down soon, it seemed likely that Lu Yichen would take over, having not only military honors but also having cracked several major cases in the public security system in recent years.

Every time people in the compound saw her, they would look at her with a mix of pity and ridicule behind her back, making her feel on edge and extremely unsettled.

Then, seeing the aimless Sun Maosen back home, her anger was truly ignited, regretting her choice deeply, wondering how she had been so blinded to have chosen such an unsuccessful person.
