Chapter 70: He Accepted this Favor

Translator: CokeZero  Editor: Rainystars

Lu Jiao glanced at Chen Liu and Xie Lan emotionlessly before she looked over to her skinny and honest second sister-in-law.

“Second sister-in-law, you can come and learn from me in the future.”

She then looked over to the Clan and Village Leaders, “I’m thinking one person from each household should come out and learn. Too many people could get too messy.”

“Okay, okay.”

The leaders agreed immediately. Lu Jiao added, “Yunjin is getting surgery in a couple of days. After that, I will start teaching the villagers.”

“Okay.”

Lu Jiao then went back to the west bedroom with Lady Zhao and the others. The east bedroom became extremely boisterous. Most of the villagers praised Xie Yunjin for being appreciative of the village.

Xie Laogen family’s faces were all indescribably ugly, especially Xie Daqiang. His cheeks were dark like the bottom of a pan and his eyes were wide from anger. It was obvious that he was refraining from dragging Xie Yunjin out of his bed and beating him.

He knew that was inappropriate so, despite his hatred, he stopped himself.

The Xie Clan villagers left after some time. Xie Laogen’s family, however, stayed.

Now that everyone was gone, Xie Daqiang let his anger out, “Third brother, what’s the meaning of this? You’re teaching everyone but your own family?”

Xie Yunjin coldly responded, “Lu Jiao said she will be teaching the second sister-in-law. She will be collecting herbs and selling them. Of course, she will then give the money earned to the family. What do you mean I am not teaching my own family?”

Xie Daqiang was furious, “Why not teach your first sister-in-law? She’s much smarter than your second sister-in-law.”

Before Xie Yunjin could speak, Lu Jiao walked in and chortled.

“What are you doing, getting angry at your brother? I am the one who doesn’t want to teach your wife. I’m the one with the knowledge and I will teach whoever I want to. I’ve never heard anyone threatening a teacher to teach. Your face sure is big.”

Xie Daqiang had always been spoiled by Xie Laogen and therefore was headstrong. He had no actual useful skills but acted like he was the smartest.

For Lu Jiao to talk back at him drove him crazy. He pointed at Lu Jiao and cursed.

“You b!tch! My family is going to tell you to f!ck off!”

Lu Jiao shouted back, “Come, try me. I am Xie Yunjin’s wife. Without the proper words from him, none of you can make me leave.”

Lu Jiao then pointed at the door, “Get the f!ck out of here. This is my home.”

Fury poured out of Xie Daxiang’s eyes and he extended his arm to hit Lu Jiao.

Inside the room, Xie Laogen yelled, “Stop.”

Xie Yunjin’s expression changed as well, “Xie Daqiang, if you dare to hit her, I will no longer accept you as my brother.”

Xie Daqiang was a little afraid of Xie Yunjin’s threat. He gritted his teeth at Xie Yunjin, “You are not letting me hit a fat woman like her?”

Lady Ruan started to weep, “My third son, why keep such an unfilial wife? Leave her now.”

Everyone from the west bedroom ran over after they heard the commotion. The head of the crowd was Lady Tian, who started to curse.

“You witch. Would you die if you left your daughter-in-law alone? You ask your son to leave his wife every day and tell my daughter to go away. My daughter devotes herself to taking care of your son. What did she do that was so wrong?”

The quadruplets started to cry as well and went to protect Lu Jiao. The First Born pointed at Lady Ruan, “This is my home. You are not welcome here. Go away.”

Lady Ruan scolded, “You bastard! Who taught you to talk like that? You want to die?”

She then raised her arm to hit the First Born.

Xie Laogen stopped her and pulled her away, “Enough! We are leaving.”

If they keep this up, their son’s heart will drift away further and may never talk to them again.

Lady Ruan wanted to curse more but Xie Laogen carried her out.

Xie Laogen was strong and Lady Ruan was very small. As he pulled her out, she had no strength to physically move but she continued to spit out dirty words.

“You bastards left home and started to learn bad things. You learned all those bad habits from that b!tch. You don’t know how to respect the elders at all. No. This can’t continue. That b!tch must leave this family.”

Behind her, Chen Liu eyed Lu Jiao and said in a weird tone, “Third sister-in-law, you should stop disobeying our mother. She’s your mother-in-law after all. Disrespecting the mother-in-law is more than a valid reason to be left by the husband.”

Lu Jiao emotionlessly gawked at these two and simply challenged, “Are you going to walk out yourself or should I beat you out?”

Chen Liu and Xie Lan’s faces froze. When they saw Lu Jiao’s arm was already raised, they ran away scared.

Xie Daqiang followed while he cursed as well.

Xie Erzhu and his wife watched all this with bitter expressions. They didn’t know what to say.

Xie Yunhua on the other hand glanced at his family, then at Xie Yunjin. He wanted to say something but couldn’t bring himself to say it. In the end, he left as well.

Inside the living room, Lady Zhao and others shared their opinion, “That family has such a cruel heart.”

“Yeah, they moved out their son and now they came here causing a scene.”

“Yunjin’s wife, don’t mind them.”

“I don’t think this is over. That mother-in-law of yours has been hard to deal with all her life. For so many years, the entire family had to listen to her.”

Lady Zhao waved her hand, “Okay, enough of that. Let’s finish up the children’s clothes.”

The wives went back to the west bedroom and got busy with making the quadruplets’ clothes.

Inside the east bedroom, Lady Tian’s heart ached as she stared at Lu Jiao. Just what was all this? Her daughter’s mother-in-law made her daughter’s life so difficult.

Lady Tian’s head hurt and Lu Jiao walked her to the west bedroom, “Mom, don’t worry about it.”

Lady Tian nodded. Lu Jiao then went to fetch some water for Xie Yunjin.

Xie Yunjin didn’t ask her to feed him and instead, took the bowl and drank it himself. He could move around now and drinking water was no big deal.

After he drank, he looked up at Lu Jiao with a gaze that was somewhat gentle.

“Why did you tell everyone it was my idea to have you teach them?”

Lu Jiao wanted to tell him that she needed him to have a good reputation so he wouldn’t cause her trouble after their separation.

Those words, however, would cause much shock to the people around so she simply answered, “You need the support of the Xie Clan in the future. It’s better for you to take the credit.”

Xie Yunjin passed the bowl to Lu Jiao, “Okay.”

He will accept this favor.

Lu Jiao turned to leave. The thought of that senseless Lady Ruan made her speak more.

“Your mother is ridiculous. Even after you finish school and move away, you will not be able to get rid of her presence.”

Xie Yunjin grinned slightly as he leaned against the bed frame with his eyes droopy.

It appeared that his mother has had enough of the good and easy life. He will give her a taste of adversity.

Lu Jiao left with the empty bowl.

Within one afternoon, the two sets of clothes for the four little ones were done.

The four little ones were over the moon and continued to play with the clothes. They even imagined themselves in them. The Third Born was the most careful out of them all. He treated the new clothes like they were rare treasures.

Lu Jiao’s heart ached because of it. She patted his head, “I will make you so many more pretty clothes in the future. You don’t need to feel bad for wearing this new set. Tonight, I’ll put you all in your new clothes and let your daddy have a look.”

The four little ones’ eyes sparkled as they stared at their new clothes in anticipation.
