Chapter 6: Resolution

The brigade leader frowned as soon as he heard Luo Qiao mention going to the Public Security Bureau. He thought to himself that since the Zhao family son’s household registration had already been moved, it wouldn't have much of an impact even if Luo Qiao wasn't the Zhao family's daughter and he registered her anyway.

Gao Suhua was also afraid that Luo Qiao would actually go to the police, and it wouldn't be good if other matters were dragged out as a result. She chimed in, "Brigade leader, since my Guibao’s household registration has already been moved, why don't you just help Luo Qiao get hers settled?"

The brigade leader was also worried that the Zhao family's affairs would spread and make the village a laughingstock for other villages, so he said, "Alright then. The house at the educated youth compound is empty; you can stay there for now, but you can't stay for free."

Luo Qiao said, "I understand that. The house is public property, so I should pay rent."

Seeing that Luo Qiao was sensible despite her young age, the brigade leader felt much more at ease and said, "Give me your household registration transfer certificate, and I’ll find time to get your registration sorted out.

As for the educated youth compound, it costs one yuan a month to the brigade. Since you don't have any money right now, we'll deduct it from your year-end dividends. Do you have any objections to that?"

Luo Qiao said, "No objections. Thank you, brigade leader."

To avoid future disputes, Luo Qiao added, "In that case, brigade leader, please write us a statement certifying that I have no relationship with the Zhao family. That way, if the Luo or Zhao families bring this up again in the future, we’ll have proof, and it will save everyone trouble."

Gao Suhua was currently desperate to sever ties; she didn't want to support Luo Qiao for nothing, and she was afraid the Luo family might come looking for trouble later. She thought that a written statement was a good idea—it was Luo Qiao herself who said she could earn work points to support herself, so if anything happened to her in the future, she couldn't blame the Zhao family.

Lu Yichen found paper and a pen to help write three copies of the statement. The content roughly stated that Luo Qiao and the Zhao family had no blood relationship and that they would live their own lives independently from then on. The brigade leader, Lu Yichen, and several respected villagers signed as witnesses.

Finally, Luo Qiao, Gao Suhua, and Zhao Pulin—who had been following behind in silence—signed, pressed their thumbprints, and left their marks. Each party involved and the brigade kept a copy, and the matter was considered settled.

With the matter resolved, the brigade leader told everyone to disperse and said to Luo Qiao, "Your health hasn't recovered yet, so stay at Yichen’s place for the time being. The Luo family left ten yuan yesterday to pay for your medical treatment.

Three yuan were used to pay the doctor and buy medicine, so here is the remaining seven yuan. Keep it; you’ll need to buy some things to settle into the educated youth compound."

Luo Qiao took the money and thanked the brigade leader repeatedly.

The matter was finally resolved, and Luo Qiao was exhausted.

Lu Yichen said, "You should rest for a while." After saying this, he went out with the brigade leader.

Once Lu Yichen and the brigade leader had left, Luo Qiao quickly lay down on the kang; this body was far too weak.

Lying on the kang, she sorted through the events, thinking that she would likely have to live in Qingshan Village for the next few years, and couldn't help but sigh.

Thinking of the place she had dreamed of earlier, Luo Qiao wondered if she really had such a space. Recalling the novels she had read in the past, she jokingly said, "Enter."

In an instant, the scenery before her eyes changed, and she was standing in front of a bookshelf. Looking closely, wasn't this the place from her dream? She couldn't help but be stunned. Coming to her senses, she reached out and pinched herself, wincing in pain.

It wasn't a dream after all; she had really obtained a space. Before, only her consciousness had entered; this was too lucky! Seeing the book that had fallen to the floor, it was exactly the one on embroidery techniques she had pulled out in her dream.

She had no heart to look at it now, so she put the book back in its original place.
