Chapter 76: You don’t seem to know how to Read

Xie Yunjin looked at her and decided to drop the matter. With a cold expression, he asked, “What happened when you visited my brother? Did you get hurt?”

Lu Jiao knew he was asking about when she took the children to the Xie family.

Lu Gui must’ve told him all about how the Second Born got hit.

Lu Jiao told him what happened and coldly hissed, “You didn’t see just how sad your dad looked when Caidou was being hit. I don’t understand. All the children are his grandchildren, why does he only care about your elder brother’s children? Why doesn’t he care about ours?”

Lu Jiao thought of a possible explanation and asked Xie Yunjin, “Could it be that you are not biologically their children? Were you picked up off the street?”

Xie Yunjin’s eyes gloomed over. He’s had his fair share of suspicions about that. He even investigated in secret. However, in the end, it was concluded that he truly was Xie Laogen and Lady Ruan’s child.

“I’ve looked into that. I am my parents’ child.”

In this world, not all parents love their children.

Under circ.u.mstances where there were multiple children in the same household, it was common for parents to have favorites.

This was why he was determined to be a fair father after he had his four children.

Lu Jiao sighed, “This family of yours will drag you down in the future.”

Xie Yunjin raised an eyebrow, “Are you worried about me?”

Lu Jiao froze, then shook her head, “You’re overthinking. I’m worried about the quadruplets.”

She really was. It was a misfortune to have grandparents like that. Those people were the elder generation and it was easy for them to mess with the younger generations.

Xie Yunjin whispered, “I have ways to make them quiet down. I’m bedridden right now and cannot put up a fight. Once I heal, they won’t have the energy to act like this.”

He spoke so calmly and nonchalantly it was as if this was nothing.

Lu Jiao remembered how capable he was and decided not to worry.

Xie Yunjin thought of the surgery he’ll be having, “The most pressing matter right now is my surgery. I need to get that done as soon as possible.”

Lu Jiao thought about it, “Then, the day after tomorrow, I will go into town and talk to Doctor Qi about your surgery.”

Xie Yunjin was impatient, “Can’t you go tomorrow?”

If she goes tomorrow, then they could be ready to operate the day after. At the end of the day, he wanted to be able to stand as soon as possible.

After this incident, he’s learned the true personality and intentions of everyone around him. Going forward, he will repay those who deserve it and distance himself from others.

Lu Jiao disagreed with his suggestion, “Your concussion only just got better, you shouldn’t rush it. I will go in the day after tomorrow to ask Doctor Qi about your surgery. I have something I need to do tomorrow. Tomorrow, I have to teach my mom how to make tofu.”

Xie Yunjin stared at Lu Jiao in astonishment. Strong physique, knew medicine, knew herbs, and now she revealed she knew how to make tofu? Just what kind of woman was she in the past?

“You know how to make tofu?”

Lu Jiao grinned, “I learned it from reading.”

Xie Yunjin chuckled lightly and reminded, “You don’t seem to know how to read.”

Lu Jiao’s face darkened. After a long pause, she finally murmured, “I listened to others read out loud.”

“Ah, then you are truly amazing. You learned so many skills by listening to others read books.”

Lu Jiao was a little stunned. Was this man mocking her?

Since Xie Yunjin finished eating, he said to Lu Jiao, “Go out and eat. It’s late.”

Lu Jiao walked away with the empty bowls.

Behind her, Xie Yunjin softly grinned.

The thought of Caidou hitting the Second Born made his face cold again. His fingers tapped gently. Once he could walk away, he will need to find something for the Xie family to do. That entire family was far too free.

After dinner, Lady Tian washed the dishes and heated up medicine for Xie Yunjin.

Lu Jiao washed the four little ones and changed them into their new clothes. In the end, she brushed their hair and put them into two high pigtails. The boys’ hair was shaved bare before and only started to grow over the last year. So, two little pigtails were all she could do. She tied them using hair bands that were the same color as their clothes.

After this little dress-up, the boys were now the spitting image of cute babies found in drawings.

Especially since the four of them were dressed exactly the same way – the picture of them together was a blessing to the eyes.

Lady Tian couldn’t help herself and hugged each one of them and gave each one of them a fat kiss.

“Ah, whose babies are you? You’re so good-looking. You’re truly carved from the same mould.”

Lu Jiao subconsciously checked out the four children. The quadruplets actually didn’t look that much alike if one looked closely. It was because they were the same age, had the same haircut, and wore the same clothes, that most people couldn’t tell them apart.

Lu Jiao smiled at the four little ones, “Okay, go show your daddy. You guys are so good-looking today.”

The four little ones smiled so big their lips couldn’t find each other anymore.

Drowning in joy, they headed to the east bedroom.

Lu Jiao poured the hot medicine into a bowl. Beside her, Lady Tian patted her head, “My Jiaojiao is going to have such a good life.”

Lu Jiao was speechless. What good life? The man wasn’t hers, and the babies weren’t hers.

How could she explain all this to Lady Tian? Lu Jiao was troubled and her head hurt.

Oh well, she will leave this matter to deal with at a later date. She smiled at Lady Tian, “Mom, I’m going to feed Yunjin medicine. You should wash up.”

“Okay.”

Lady Tian went to get clothes and get washed up. Lu Jiao went to the east bedroom with the medicine. Before she reached the door, she already heard the children chirping like little magpies.

“Daddy, do we look good?”

“My new clothes are so comfortable.”

“I’ve never gotten new clothes before.”

“Mommy said she will make us a lot of new clothes in the future.”

Xie Yunjin’s lips curled up as he watched how excited the four little ones were. When they were happy, he was happy.

Lu Jiao came in with the bowl of medicine, “Alright, stop showing off. Get up there and go to sleep. It’s late.”

The four little ones nodded. They suddenly thought of Soot and Marble and said, “Mommy, we want to see Soot and Marble. We’ll come back soon to sleep.”

“Okay, go ahead.”

Soot and Marble were pretty down because they’d just been taken away from their mom. They enjoyed hiding in the little dog house that was built for them. Therefore, the four little ones visited them whenever they found the time.

Lu Jiao didn’t stop them.

Inside the room, Xie Yunjin took over the medicine. However, he wasn’t in a rush to drink it. He looked up at Lu Jiao, a little dazed.

“Thank you for everything you’ve done for the four little ones.”

Lu Jiao stared at him in surprise. The great villain was thanking her? That sure was rare.

Xie Yunjin then drank his medicine in silence.

Lu Jiao’s mood lifted, “Why thank me? They’re my sons as well!”

Xie Yunjin’s eyes darkened a little when he heard those words. Without flinching, he finished the medicine, “That’s true.”
