235 Did he Think he was Rich?

Xie Yunjin then walked forward and ignored Xie Yunhua and Xie Lan.

Xie Lan realized that Xie Yunjin truly had no plans to continue to talk to her and cried harder, “Third brother, we are siblings who share the same parents! How can you be so heartless!”

Xie Yunjin tauntingly looked over to Xie Lan and repeated after her, “Siblings who share the same parents?”

He then walked on. On the other side of the hanging flower gate, Xie Erzhu heard the commotion and came over.

When Xie Lan saw Xie Erzhu, she started to scream, “Second brother, help me beg my third brother! Ask him to forgive me!”

Xie Erzhu glanced at Xie Yunjin and then back at Xie Yunhua and Xie Lan. he didn’t speak up for them.

This past while, Xie Erzhu’s been asking Lu Jiao to teach him how to keep leeches, and as a result, learned a lot of life lessons from her too.

Everything Lu Jiao has said resonated with Xie Erzhu. Xie Erzhu felt like he finally started to understand life lately and he grew much smarter.

Therefore, despite Xie Lan’s pleading, he didn’t ask Xie Yunjin for forgiveness on her behalf.

“Everyone should take responsibility for their own actions. You guys were the ones who hurt the second brother and now you’re here begging him for forgiveness? What’s the meaning of this? Third brother had made it clear that he doesn’t want to get involved with your business, and he will do as he says. You guys should go home.”

Xie Erzhu then left Xie Yunhua and Xie Lan be. His family had just moved in and there was a lot to do. He had no time for this silliness.

Xie Yunhua and Xie Lan started to cry out loud in unison. No matter how hard they cried, however, n.o.body paid any more attention to them. They had no choice but to return home.

Xie Erzhu walked alongside Xie Yunjin and discussed with him plans for tomorrow.

“Third brother, don’t worry, I will take good care of your house. I’ll make sure the place is squeaky clean and ready for you. You can come back to visit whenever.”

Xie Yunjin smiled at Xie Erzhu and responded in a warm voice, “Second brother, let’s go visit grandpa with some alcohol.”

Their grandpa was rather fragile and never drank in his life. This time, they must bring some alcohol and drink with him.

“Okay.”

Xie Yunjin and Xie Erzhu then went to visit their grandpa’s grave.

Lu Jiao packed with her second sister-in-law and her nieces, Daya and Erya.

“Third sister, let me help you.”

Lu Jiao smiled and asked her second sister-in-law to sit, “There’s not much to pack. Only my husband’s and children’s clothes and the children’s toys. I’ll also have to bring the dogs, sheep, and rabbits. There’s really nothing else.”

She heard that the house she bought from Cla.s.smate Han had everything she could possibly need.

Therefore, the 1,200 silver taels house was an amazing deal for her.

Lu Jiao checked out Xie Daya and Xie Erya. The two of them were thin, pale, and had absolutely no baby fat on their cheeks. Due to the amount of housework they’ve had to do since they were born, they acted a little slow and somewhat dumbfounded.

Lu Jiao sighed. They didn’t have good nutrition and had to work hard every day. Naturally, the children turned out this way.

“Daya, Erya, come, I have candy for you.”

The two girls happily looked up and walked to Lu Jiao, who gave them a handful of candy each.

The second sister-in-law saw how happy her daughters got over candy and felt extremely sad.

Lu Jiao then asked the four little ones to come over and play with the girls.

The children played outside.

Inside the room, Lu Jiao asked her sister-in-law to sit, “Give me your arm and let me feel your pulse.”

Xie Erzhu and his wife had two daughters only. In this era, no son meant the end of the family line. Those who die without having a son were often cursed as if that was their fault. Therefore, Lu Jiao wanted to see if they could have more children.

The second aunt instantly gave Lu Jiao her arm. Lu Jiao examined her and concluded that there was nothing wrong with her reproduction system. Her body was simply too destroyed from all the work and lack of nutrition.

“Your body has been so poorly taken care of. You need to eat better and get enough nutrition. Then, you should be able to have more children.”

The second aunt has been feeling so guilty over not bearing a son for Xie Erzhu. After hearing Lu Jiao’s words, she excitedly shouted, “Really?!”

Lu Jiao nodded, “Now that you live here, you can just cook for yourself. Eat better food. You’re not the only person in this family who needs better nutrition. The second brother needs it and your daughters even more so.”

The thought of the future brought a smile to the second aunt’s face. She forgot how to stop grinning as she stared at Lu Jiao with her eyes lit up, “I’m going to take good care of the family and make sure they only eat good food.”

Lu Jiao nodded in support.

For dinner, the two families ate together. Xie Erzhu, his wife, and their children paid proper respect and thanked Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao.

“We only have the life we have now because of you. We thank you.”

Xie Yunjin waved his hand and asked them to sit, “We’re family. There’s no need to act like this.”

After dinner, Xie Yunjin and Xie Erzhu stepped outside to chat. Lu Jiao took the four little ones and gave them a bath. The four little ones were exceptionally excited today because they were moving to the city of Qinghe county tomorrow. However, right before bed, the four little ones felt sad.

“Mommy, will we still see brother Xiaobao and Mutou?”

“And Tieniu and Gousheng.”

Lu Jiao laughed at them, “We’ll come back to visit often. In the winter, your dad will be on break from school and you can come back here.”

The four little ones accepted that answer and stopped feeling sad.

Lu Jiao was about to ask them to go to sleep when Xie Yunjin called out to her softly from outside the room, “Lu Jiao, can you come out for a second?”

Lu Jiao knew he wanted something. She asked the children to sleep and she followed him out.

The four little ones watched them carefully. Once Lu Jiao left the room, the First Born waved his hand and the children put their heads together.

“Now that we are moving to the city, we have to get mommy and daddy to sleep together. Grandma said that if they give us little brothers or sisters, then mommy won’t leave.”

The other three children’s eyes brightened, “We’ll remember that!”

Outside, Lu Jiao asked Xie Yunjin, “What’s the matter?”

Lu Jiao was embarra.s.sed as he tentatively asked, “Can I borrow 10 more taels of silver from you?”

He had to borrow money from Lu Jiao to pay the villagers for helping out. Now, he had to borrow even more money from her. How embarra.s.sing.

He felt like it would be a good idea to get the rest of his money from Cla.s.smate Han and give it all to Lu Jiao. It would be more convenient that way.

Lu Jiao said instantly, “I told you, you still have quite some money left.”

Before, Xie Yunjin gave her 150 taels of silver. She didn’t plan on using that money in any way. Right now, she doesn’t lack money and therefore hasn’t touched Xie Yunjin’s 150.

As for the money she spent buying Xie Yunjin medicine, food, and clothes, she’ll treat it as her redeeming the sins of the original owner.

Xie Yunjin instantly felt bad after he heard those words. What she had said made it clear that she planned to keep everything separate from each other. She planned on eventually returning the money he gave her earlier.

Xie Yunjin was quiet for a while before he spoke, “All this time, you’ve definitely spent more than 150 taels of silver on us. I’ve told you to treat that as money I borrowed from you. I will pay you back for all that I’ve borrowed.”

Lu Jiao stared at him with a raised eyebrow. Did he think he was rich? He was going to have to raise the four little ones in the future.

Though Lu Jiao didn’t speak, Xie Yunjin somehow understood what she was thinking. He stated instantly, “Though I’m not as good at making money as you, I will work hard to make money in the future.”

He then tried to walk away. Lu Jiao quickly took out 10 taels of silver from her sleeve, “Here you go.”

Xie Yunjin took it and left. Silently, he made up his mind to prioritize money making. It wasn’t a good look to make so much less money than a woman.

Lu Jiao didn’t know what he was thinking about and went to soothe the children to sleep.
