126 Those Women could Hang out Together
Lu Jiao thought it over and became excited. To be able to see Lady Ruan get clobbered thrilled her.
She was a little worried, “What if Widow Wang manages to make your father leave your mother? Then she’ll become the wife and you’ll have a widow as a mother. That woman can give you a hard time if she becomes the mother of the family.”
Xie Yunjin snickered in a frigid tone.
“You really think I’ll let her do whatever she wants? If she wants to enter my family, she must sign to waive her rights.”
Lu Jiao’s heart thumped. This man was rather harsh. Though she hasn’t spent a lot of time with Xie Yunjin, she knew him well enough to know that he wouldn’t hurt the harmless. Did this Widow Wang wrong him in the past?
“Did Widow Wang wrong you?”
The air around Xie Yunjin intensified. Annoyed, he glared at Lu Jiao, “It’s late. Why don’t you go read the children your nighttime story.”
Lu Jiao nodded and turned to leave. By the time she got to the door, something clicked in her brain and she asked Xie Yunjin, “Did Widow Wang try to seduce you before?”
Xie Yunjin’s face darkened as he stared at her and gritted through his teeth, “Lu Jiao, just what is going on inside your head every day?”
Lu Jiao tried to run away, fast. However, Xie Yunjin stopped her. Subconsciously, he didn’t want her to misunderstand.
“Wait.”
boxn ovel. c0mLu Jiao stood still and awkwardly chuckled, “I was just joking.”
Xie Yunjin explained almost angrily, “Widow Wang ordered her niece to seduce me. I found out. Since that failed, she tried to seduce my father. I found that out too and warned my father to keep his distance. That’s the only reason she failed last time.”
Since he was now tired of his mother, he was okay with that woman getting into his family.
Nobody in that family was a nice person. Other than his mother, there was his eldest sister-in-law, and his soon-to-be fourth sister-in-law… all of them were hard to deal with. All those women could just hang out together.
Xie Yunjin closed his eyes to rest.
Lu Jiao didn’t even know what to say. Everything that happened was like a dramatic theater show.
Lu Jiao went to the west bedroom to tell her bedtime story. She then ordered them to sleep. The Third and Fourth Borns obediently went to accompany their father.
The next day, after the family ate breakfast, and Lu Jiao fed Xie Yunjin medicine, she gathered the four little ones and announced her plans for them.
Not only were the four little ones not annoyed, but they were also even excited. Their mother had made them four mud bags that morning and hung them on the trees. The four children were excited to throw punches this morning.
Now, they had fun toys, yummy food, materials to learn, and books to teach.
Everything was wonderful.
“Mommy, we got it. We will do as you planned.”
Lu Jiao nodded in satisfaction, “I will have to go into town to pick up my woks and bring home a sheep. I will get milk from the sheep for you to drink.”
The four little ones wanted to go with her, “Mommy, we want to go.”
Lu Jiao said no. She had a lot of things to buy today, “Once your father heals, we can all go together. I can’t bring all of you today because I have lots of things to carry today. You can, however, tell me what you want to eat. I will buy it for you.”
The Second Born shouted immediately, “Mommy, I want those peaches you got last time.”
The Third Born, “I want grapes.”
The Fourth Born grabbed Lu Jiao’s arm, “Mommy, I don’t want anything. I want you to come home early.”
The First Born stared at Lu Jiao seriously, “Mommy, I will take care of them for you.”
Lu Jiao patted his head, “I know. You’re the best kid.”
The Second, Third, and Fourth Born all yelled, “Mommy! What about me?! What about me?!”
Lu Jiao laughed, “You’re all great kids.”
While they chatted, the village children started to arrive one by one. Lu Jiao cautioned the four little ones, “Be patient. The others have never learned how to read and may be slow. Don’t get moody.”
The four little ones were extremely intelligent and learned new words fast. They also had good memorization skills and could easily memorize whatever they read.
The other village kids may not have as good of a memory. This was why Lu Jiao was worried.
The four little ones promised they would take teaching seriously.
Lu Jiao made sure everyone was comfortable before she got her basket and left for town.
The four little ones didn’t make a scene this time because the other kids had found their new toys and formed a circle around them. The four little ones started to proudly show off their toys and forgot all about Lu Jiao.
The Village Leader’s ox-cart was going into town anyway today. By the time Lu Jiao arrived, several people were already inside.
There was Lady Zhang, the Village Leader’s wife; Lady Jiang, the Clan Leader’s daughter-in-law; Aunt Guihua; Zhang Chunhua, Xu Duojin’s wife; and a pale-skinned, long-faced young woman.
Lu Jiao recognized her right away. That was the Widow Wang Xie Yunjin brought up.
Since Widow Wang had once seduced Xie Laogen, Lu Jiao couldn’t help but study her a little. She was a good-looking woman and she was young. It wasn’t impossible for her to marry a nice and proper man.
There was no law in the Zhou Dynasty that banned women from remarrying. So if this woman could find a nice man to marry, she could easily live a comfortable life.
Sadly, she was greedy. Because Xie Yunjin was a scholar, she asked her niece to seduce him. When that failed, she herself went after Xie Laogen.
Lu Jiao felt a little guilty. After all, the original host drugged Xie Yunjin and snuck into his bed.
Lu Jiao sneakily studied Widow Wang and silently thought over Xie Yunjin’s suggestion.
His words that night meant for her to give Widow Wang the idea that the Xie family was a good one to get into.
As Lu Jiao pondered, Lady Zhang waved at her with a grin.
“Yunjin’s wife, you’re going into town also?”
“I asked Dr. Qi to get me some woks – they are here. I’m going to pick them up. It’s really hard to cook and boil water with just one pot at home.”
Everyone nodded. Lu Jiao got in and before she could sit down, Aunt Guihua made some room and pulled her to sit.
“Jiaojiao, come and sit.”
Lu Jiao smiled and thanked her. Aunt Guihua shook her head, “Why are you being so polite? Your mother and I are close. You don’t need to be reserved.”
Everyone was speechless. This woman was truly shameless. Before, she fought Lu Jiao’s family whenever she could, and now, she claimed they were close?
Aunt Guihua didn’t care what others thought and continued to chat, “It is hard to only have one pot. When I was young and newly married, we only got one pot as well. It took years of saving for me to get a steel wok.”
