Chapter 89: The Entire Clan is Happy
Lu Jiao gave no chance for Aunt Guihua to speak and left in a hurry. Behind her, Aunt Guihua mumbled.
“This child sure is good. I was a fool back then.”
She headed home but quickly started to shake her head, “No, I need to make it up to Jiaojiao or else I’ll feel bad.”
She rushed home and picked up the eggs she’s been saving. Then, she dashed back out, “Jiaojiao, wait for me.”
Lu Jiao marched forward in giant leaps and pretended not to hear.
Behind her, Aunt Guihua somehow followed her all the way back home.
Outside the trellis, Lu Jiao saw a bunch of people in her living room and east bedroom. There were people standing and people sitting. They were all clustered together and chatting.
Lu Jiao’s expression changed. Did something happen again?
She rushed home with her basket. Inside the yard, the four little ones were walking the dog. When they heard the door, they ran towards her.
“Mommy, you are back!”
“Mommy, have you had lunch?”
“Mommy, are you tired? Let me pour you some water.”
“Mommy, put down your basket. It’s heavy.”
Everyone’s words warmed Lu Jiao’s heart. Seeing the big crowd in her home, she first asked the First Born, worried, “Why are so many people here?”
Before the First Born could answer, Xie Fugui came out greeting. He asked impatiently, “Yunjin’s wife, what did Dr. Qi say? When can Yunjin go under surgery?”
Many people walked out after Xie Fugui. Lu Jiao realized they were all from the Xie family.
Everyone stared at her and waited for an answer.
Lu Jiao knew then that they were here to ask about Yunjin’s surgery.
Xie Yunjin remained the hope of the entire village.
Lu Jiao only now realized how important one talent was to an entire clan.
Lu Jiao smiled at the Village Leader, “I have agreed with Dr. Qi to bring Yunjin in tomorrow for surgery. Dr. Qi said he will prepare everything today.”
Xie Fugui started to guffaw loudly, “Great! This is great! Tomorrow, I will bring my people and send Yunjin into town.”
The others all chimed in, “I will go tomorrow as well.”
“Me too.”
From behind, Aunt Guihua also shouted, “My whole family will go as well.”
Her participation was very unexpected. After all, all the villagers knew that she didn’t like Yunjin’s wife.
The two of them fought verbally and physically every time they saw each other.
Xie Fugui scolded, “What are you doing here?”
Aunt Guihua straightened her back and said to the Village Leader, “Village Leader, I have already apologized to Jiaojiao and she has forgiven me.”
Xie Fugui looked over to Lu Jiao, who had no chance to nod when Lady Tian came out of the room. When Aunt Guihua saw Lady Tian, she leaped over and grabbed her arm.
“My elder sister, I have been meaning to visit but I have been too ashamed. You must forgive me for my past behavior. I was under a spell back then to butt heads against Jiaojiao! I deserve death! Sister, do not hate me. I will for sure treat Jiaojiao nicely and never fight with her again.
You have no idea how good of a child Jiaojiao is. She is so kind, so generous, and now, very good-looking. Sister, how did you give birth to such a good kid?”
Lady Tian originally hated Aunt Guihua. This woman always targeted her daughter.
But today, she came here with eggs in hand and a mouthful of sweet words. This made Lady Tian speechless. She had no choice but to smile.
“Jiaojiao made mistakes as well. She fought against the elder generation.”
Aunt Guihua shook her head, “No, no, Jiaojiao wasn’t wrong. It was my fault. All my fault.”
The Xie clan all sneered at Aunt Guihua. They ignored her thinking that at least no more fighting was a good thing.
Lu Jiao also ignored her. That woman was too exhausting.
She headed to the east bedroom with her basket and Xie Fugui. The crowd parted a little to let her through.
Once she entered, she found Xie Yunjin staring at the door eagerly. When he saw Lu Jiao, he asked instantly, “Did Dr. Qi agree to operate tomorrow?”
Lu Jiao nodded, “We agreed to send you in tomorrow morning. You need to rest up today and manage your mood. Dr. Qi said once he repositions your legs, you should heal without problems.”
Xie Yunjin’s eyes eased. Pure happiness clearly oozed out of him. His gaze brightened and strummed on the heartstrings of the crowd.
“That is great news.”
Other than Xie Yunjin, the Xie Clan was all very happy. They each went up to Xie Yunjin to congratulate him. Lu Jiao watched this with a smile and didn’t join in. She went to the kitchen and arranged her newly bought bowls and eating utensils.
The four little ones followed her into the kitchen and saw the candy, peach, and grape in her basket.
The children hopped in joy, “Mommy, you bought food.”
“Yes, I will give you food after I wash all these bowls.”
The four little ones promptly said, “We will eat with daddy.”
Lu Jiao was a little sour. They truly never forget about their dad.
That made sense. After all, they went through four years together and the original host used to hit them.
It made sense for them to think of Xie Yunjin all the time.
As Lu Jiao organized, the clan members left one by one. A lot of people came to the kitchen to say bye.
Lu Jiao went to send people away. A lot of people informed her that they planned on accompanying Xie Yunjin tomorrow into town.
Lu Jiao nodded, “Okay, thank you, everyone.”
The last to leave was Aunt Guihua, who dragged Lady Tian and asked her to visit.
“Come for tea.”
Lady Tian wasn’t used to this but felt too rude to decline. She chatted with Aunt Guihua for a long time before slowly declining, “When I have more time, I will go visit.”
“Okay, that’s a promise.”
Aunt Guihua was finally satisfied. She turned to Lu Jiao, “Jiaojiao, I’m going home then. Give the eggs to Yunjin so he heals faster.”
Lu Jiao gestured for Lady Tian to get Aunt Guihua to take the eggs back. But Aunt Guihua escaped faster than a rabbit.
Lady Tian and Lu Jiao exchanged a glance.
Lady Tian said, “She’s old and she’s apologized. Don’t fight with her anymore. Let the bygones be bygones.”
Lu Jiao nodded, “I know.”
The four little ones ran out of the kitchen happily and looked up to Lady Tian, “Grandma, my mommy bought a lot of good food. There are candy, peaches, and grapes!”
