169 Who Raised Them? They were too Cute


    Everyone inside the room looked out the window and watched as the group of people walked into the yard. Once they got inside, they called out loudly, “Yunjin’s wife, are you around?”


    Lu Jiao went to greet them. It was the third grandma, her eldest daughter Xie Dahong, and the Tong family. Of course, lots of vigers were there with them.


    The third grandma took Lu Jiao’s hand and thanked her, “Jiaojiao, there really were worms inside Xiaoyu’s stomach. We saw. There were so many.”


    The vigers all gasped, “Oh my god, really? That’s terrifying.”


    “Yes, luckily, Yunjin’s wife found out about it. Or else my children would’ve gotten as sick as Xiaoyu.”


    “Did you see how skinny that kid got? It was all because of the worms. How could the doctors in town and the county not know about it?”


    “This means Yunjin’s wife knows more than those doctors.”


    “I am now certain that she is the most knowledgeable person around here. She’s truly a miracle doctor.”


    “Yes, Yunjin’s wife truly is.”


    There were mutters of all sorts of rumors. Xie Dahong stared at Lu Jiao appreciatively, “Thank you for saving Xiaoyu’s life. If it weren’t for you, nobody would’ve known why he was sick.”


    If they waited longer, Xiaoyu would’ve lost his life. How fortunate they are to have found Yunjin’s wife.


    Xie Dahong was unspeakably thankful. Lu Jiao smiled, “We are all neighbors. You don’t need to be so courteous to me. Xiaoyu will be fine after two more days of deworming.”


    The family and the vigers all thanked Lu Jiao more before they left.


    Since it was sote, Lu Jiao headed back to check if Xie Erzhu was done helping Xie Yunjin. She wanted to give Xie Erzhu some hot water to wipe down Xie Yunjin with.


    Inside the east bedroom, Xie Erzhu was done helping Xie Yunjin. He brought with him the portable potty to dump it outside.


    Lu Jiao turned to get the hot water. Xie Yunjin called out to her.


    “Lu Jiao.”


    Lu Jiao thought he needed something and went up to him, “What is it?”


    Under the dim light, the man leaned on the edge of the bed with his hair draped down. His skin was jade smooth as usual and his dark and deep gaze pulsated with sparks. He looked like a painting.


    Lu Jiao couldn’t help butpliment him. He truly had a beautiful exterior.


    However, more and more she felt like he’s been looking at her differently. She couldn’t exactly pinpoint what was different, it just was.


    Oh well, maybe he was just appreciative of her caretely and started to treat her kinder.


    Since Xie Yunjin didn’t say anything, she asked again, “What is it?”


    Xie Yunjin’s lips curled, “Your medical knowledge seems to be truly amazing.”


    It wasn’t just the vigers who were oblivious, he was also unaware of stomach worms. Therefore, this woman was a great doctor.


    Lu Jiao’s heart skipped a beat and she smiled, “I may know stuff others don’t but others also know stuff I don’t. We all have our strengths.”


    She didn’t let Xie Yunjin answer and yawned, “I’m going to get some hot water and ask the second brother to wipe you down.”


    She left in a hurry, which made Xie Yunjin grin deeper and wonder if she was being shy.


    Just now, he didn’t need anything. He just wanted to talk to her. He always felt like talking to her put him in a good mood.


    Outside, Lu Jiao didn’t know what Xie Yunjin was thinking. She got hot water for Xie Yunjin and went to wash up the children.


    Afterward, she cleaned herself and went to tell the four little ones a bedtime story.


    The four little ones declined.


    The First Born said to the other three in a serious tone, “Mom is very tired tonight. We will skip out on tonight’s story and continue tomorrow night.”


    The other three agreed, “Okay.”


    They then came up to Lu Jiao and each kissed her once.


    The First Born also kissed Lu Jiao, waved his hand, then took the Second Born to sleep with their dad.


    Lu Jiao smiled as she watched the children. They were so aware and sweet, how obedient.


    Who raised them? They were just too cute.


    Lu Jiao made herselfugh and she giggled while shey down. The Third and Fourth Born didn’t know why she was so happy but knew tough alongside her. In the end, the three of them fell asleep giggling.


    The next day, the family was having breakfast when the n and Vige Leader arrived.


    Lu Jiao was speechless. Wasn’t this far too early? Was this necessary?


    “Have you eaten? Do you want some?”


    Breakfast this morning was simple. Rice porridge, boiled eggs, and two vegetable dishes.


    Lu Jiao’s vegetables, however, were extremely fresh. Therefore, despite the dishes being vegetarian, the children loved them.


    Xie Yunjin was also eating happily.


    The leaders waved around their hands, “You eat. We already ate.”


    Lu Jiao brought them chairs so they could sit. She also poured them some sugar water.


    The vigers enjoyed sugar water more than tea, so Lu Jiao tend to serve her guests with sugar water.


    The leaders chatted with Xie Yunjin, mainly about his school and studies.


    With his injuries and his long break, will his teachers still admit him back to school?


    Xie Yunjin exined calmly, “Do not worry. My teachers have been worried about me. They even asked ssmate Han to deliver the message that I should take my time resting.”


    The leaders smiled and stopped worrying. The Vige Leader remembered that there was an exam next year in the province and asked caringly, “Next August is the triennial examination held in each province?”


    Xie Yunjin nodded. He was very confident about the exam. Honestly, he could’ve taken the exam three years ago. However, Lu Jiao had just given birth to the children – four of them at once, and he was far too worried to take the exam.


    This time, he wasn’t at all worried about the uing exam.


    The Vige Leader carefully asked, “Yunjin, are you confident about the exam?”


    Xie Yunjin raised an eyebrow and said coolly, “If it all goes ording to the n, I should ce high on the exam.”


    He was humble. He will likely ce first in the exam.


    The leaders didn’t even know he was being humble and started tough, “Great! You’re amazing. It’s no surprise that you are from the Xie Vige!”


    Lu Jiao listened with a speechless look on her face. If the Xie Vige was so great, why weren’t there more aplished people here?


    In the end, she didn’t say anything. The two seniors were good people and she shouldn’t hurt their feelings.
