Chapter 386: Mommy, are you Raising Five Sons?

Translator: c.o.keZero Editor: Rainystars

Lu Jiao smiled and pursed her lips. Their relations.h.i.+ps shouldn’t even be compared. They are in the courting phase now, so naturally, he was treating her well. Only if he was able to keep this up, would she conclude that he treated her well.

Lu Jiao pushed Li Yuyao playfully, “Sister, if you find your brother-in-law not good enough, you can train him when you get back.”

Li Yuyao didn’t get a chance to respond; the four little ones around them had already rushed toward Xie Yunjin. “Daddy, did you wait for us?”

“Have you eaten enough?”

“If you haven’t eaten enough, tell Auntie Hua to make more for you later.” “But Uncle Han’s family made delicious meatb.a.l.l.s today.”

Lu Jiao looked at the four little ones in front of her, not sure what to say. She was astonished by their antics in front of someone else’s door. Were they afraid that Uncle Han might starve their father?

Xie Yunjin took the hands of two of the little ones and turned his head to look at Lu Jiao.

Li Yuyao nudged Lu Jiao, “Hurry, your husband can’t wait any longer.”

The two finished their conversation and parted ways. Lu Jiao followed Xie Yunjin to the front of the carriage.

Xie Yunjin asked Lu Jiao with concern, “Today among the female guests, you didn’t encounter anyone trying to make things difficult for you, did you?”

Lu Jiao remained silent for a moment and then shook her head. Although

Zhang Biyan tried to win her over, she didn’t make things difficult for her.

But Xie Yunjin could tell that something was amiss when he saw her silence and asked with concern.

“What’s wrong?”

By this time, the family had reached the carriage. Both parents lifted the four little ones onto the carriage, and then Xie Yunjin helped Lu Jiao onto the carriage. He was the last to board.

Once everyone was in the carriage, the Xie family’s carriage left Han’s house.

Lu Jiao told Xie Yunjin about Zhang Biyan trying to approach her.

Xie Yunjin’s face darkened unconsciously. However, he quickly regained his composure and turned to Lu Jiao, “Today, Li Wenbin also invited me to join them. It seems the Zhang family is indeed making efforts to win us over.”

Lu Jiao nodded in agreement. Thinking back to the time when Xie Yunjin was paralyzed after the carriage accident, she quickly added, “You need to be careful.”

She didn’t say anything more, as the four little ones were in the carriage, and saying too much might make them anxious.

Xie Yunjin nodded calmly and said, “Tomorrow, I plan to go to school to study.”

Lu Jiao considered Xie Yunjin’s wound. She had cleaned it with her spiritual stream water, so his injury had healed quite well. Although the wound was on his back and Xie Yunjin couldn’t see it, it had mostly recovered.

“Alright, your legs are fine now, and your injury isn’t a big issue anymore. You can go to the county school and study. The exam is coming up next year, so you should work hard.”

Xie Yunjin nodded thoughtfully. However, the thought of going to study at the county school meant he would be leaving home. He had been living at home for some time now, constantly with Lu Jiao and their four little ones. But with school, he knew things wouldn’t be as convenient.

With that thought, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of reluctance.

He turned to Lu Jiao with a touch of sadness and asked, “When I go to the county school, will you miss me?”

Lu Jiao looked at him in amazement.

Was this really the same high and mighty Xie Yunjin she used to know?

Now he was acting like a three-year-old baby, asking if she would miss him when they hadn’t even left home yet.

“Xie Yunjin, how about I give you a new name?”

Xie Yunjin immediately looked expectantly at Lu Jiao. She smiled and said,

“From now on, we won’t call you Xie Yunjin, we’ll call you ‘Three Years Old Xie’.”

Inside the carriage, Xie Yunjin was instantly shocked. The four little ones in the carriage had caught on to what Lu Jiao said. The First Born quickly asked, “Mommy, are you saying that dad is only three years old?”

Yes, your dad is quite immature now. From now on, we’ll call him ‘Three Years

Old Xie’.”

The Second Born’s lips moved fast, “Then, mommy, are you raising five sons?”

Inside the carriage, everyone turned to look at the Second Born. The Second Born, realizing that he had misspoken, quickly covered his mouth.

Xie Yunjin wickedly teased, “Second Born, are you itching for some playfulness?”

The Second Born hurriedly moved closer to Lu Jiao and begged, “Mommy, help me!”

The whole family was in a lively ruckus, and the carriage quickly returned to the Xie residence.

The following day, Xie Yunjin left to attend school. Lu Jiao had initially thought he would have to stay at school during the week and only return on the weekends. However, to her surprise, he came back every evening, claiming that he was concerned about his dear wife and young sons.

Lu Jiao gave him an amused look.

With Xie Yunjin at school, Lu Jiao suddenly had more free time. She decided to take the family to Heping Street and Jinli Street to explore whether they could purchase two shops. The oil mill had already started selling oil to the public, and once she set up a shop on the street, she could expand.

However, before she could leave, Zhao Lingfeng from Baohe Tang sent word to her. He had already secured two shops on Heping Street for her. The location was excellent, and the shop s.p.a.ces were quite large. Moreover, there was a small courtyard at the back of the shops, which would be perfect for living.

Intrigued, Lu Jiao asked him to show her the shops.

The shop a.s.sistant readily led Lu Jiao to Heping Street to view the storefronts.

Inside the store, the shopkeeper was waiting for them and received them with utmost hospitality.

“Is this Lady Lu? Please, have a seat.”

Lu Jiao expressed her thanks and looked around the shop. The two shops were connected, and the place appeared quite s.p.a.cious.

Lu Jiao planned to take over the shops and separate them. One would become an oil mill, while the other would be used for cosmetics and a drugstore. “This place is nice. May I ask how much the shopkeeper intends to sell it for?”

Intrigued, Lu Jiao asked, and the shopkeeper quickly responded, “In response to Lady Lu, these shops are free.”

Lu Jiao thought she had misunderstood and turned to the shopkeeper, “What do you mean?”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, “Our master says these shops are a gift to

Lady Lu, free of charge.”

Lu Jiao immediately furrowed her brow and looked at the shopkeeper, unable to comprehend who their master was.

“Who is your master?”

Just as Lu Jiao finished speaking, the door curtain behind her rustled, and someone approached.

She turned her head and was surprised to find that it was Zhang Biyan and her two maids.

It turned out that these shops were part of the Zhang family’s property, and Zhang Biyan wanted to give them to Lu Jiao as a way to win her over.

Lu Jiao felt disappointed inside but maintained a composed demeanor on her face. “So these shops are owned by the Zhang family, a prominent wealthy family in Qinghe County. Your family’s shops can’t be sold. Is this a gift from Lady Zhang to me?”

Upon hearing Lu Jiao’s words, Zhang Biyan was straightforward and smiled, “Yes, I wanted to give you something even better. I was afraid that Lady Lu wouldn’t accept it. If Lady Lu is willing to take over, you can have anything you want.”

Lu Jiao’s expression turned serious as she furrowed her brow, “Since you’ve put it this way, Lady Zhang, I won’t beat around the bush either. I won’t accept anything from the Zhang family.

We may not be wealthy, but we won’t accept bribes. I don’t want to end up like

Peng and Yang..”
