Chapter 27: Going to sell Ganoderma
Editor: Rainystars
Lu Jiao had no idea as to what was on Xie Yunjin's mind. She efficiently cleaned the dishes and then made two bamboo copters for Xie Fugui's grandsons.
Once she was done with the toys, Xie Hu's wife, Lin Chunyan came over so they could visit the town together.
Lu Jiao took the bamboo copters and took a basket from the kitchen. She had a lot of stuff she wanted to buy in town today so she needed something to carry them in.
Before she left, Lu Jiao visited the east bedroom, "Xie Yunjin, I'm going into town. Keep an eye on the four little ones and make sure they don't run around too much."
Since the quadruplets were malnourished, they could only get bullied if they ran into trouble. This was why Lu Jiao wanted to make sure Xie Yunjin was careful.
Xie Yunjin nodded. Lu Jiao then smiled at the quadruplets.
"Stay here today and keep an eye on our home for me. There's chicken and some eggs in the kitchen. If you watch our home well, I'll come back and reward you with candy and desserts."
The Fourth Born batted his heart eyes and confirmed in surprise, "Really?"
Lu Jiao couldn't help but pat his head, "Of course."
She then put on the large basket on her back and left.
Behind her, Xie Yunjin and the four little ones watched her leave.
After some time, the four little ones surrounded Xie Yunjin and whispered, "Is it possible that she's not coming back?"
Xie Yunjin saw how the children were worried and he couldn't help but frown. Was that a possibility?
They haven't separated. So no way she wouldn't come back, right?
Plus, she had assured him that she would find him a surgeon. Though he didn't believe her, if she did run away today, there was no way he would forgive her.
Darkness flashed across Xie Yunjin's eyes and he comforted the four little ones, "No way. She said she would bring you treats once she's back so she will be back. Don't worry."
"Oh right. She asked you to keep an eye on the chicken and the eggs. Don't forget to do that."
Xie Yunjin wanted the four little ones to find something to do so they don't focus all their time thinking about that woman.
The four little ones nodded, "Yes, we will do our job and keep the chicken and eggs safe."
They then ran out to guard the goods.
On the other side, Lu Jiao, Lin Chunyan, and Xie Hu walked to the Village Leader's home.
The moment they arrived, Xie Fugui's two grandsons dashed out.
"Third grandma, did you make the bamboo copters?"
"Third grandma, did you bring them?"
Lu Jiao's face froze when she heard them refer to her as a grandma. She quickly took out the bamboo copters and handed them to the two children.
"Here you go. Go play."
Datou and Maomao shrilled in excitement and ran away with the bamboo copters.
Lady Zhang walked out and helplessly exposed them, "They've been mumbling about those all day and even missed their naps. They've been waiting for you."
Lu Jiao laughed, "All children are like that."
The two of them chatted when Xie Fugui's son, Xie Tieniu, took out the bullock cart and asked everyone to get on.
Xie Fugui's young daughter, Xie Xiaojuan also got into the bullock cart with a basket of eggs. She planned to sell some eggs in town and buy some salt.
Everyone chatted inside the cart. However, in the front, Xie Tieniu's face became long. Angry, he turned his head around.
"The other two still aren't here? If they don't come soon, I'm going to leave without them."
Just then, there was a noise of people breathing heavily and someone shouting, "Wait, wait."
Two people ran over holding hands. They were Shen Xiu and Xie Lan.
When they saw Lu Jiao, their expressions changed.
Xie Tieniu unhappily scolded, "Hurry up. It's getting late."
Shen Xiu and Xie Lan climbed into the cart but stayed as far away from Lu Jiao as possible. They had no intention of acknowledging her.
Lu Jiao rolled her eyes at them. As if she wanted to talk to them.
The bullock cart started to accelerate then. Xie Lan checked out Lu Jiao and recalled the time she hit her. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. What made her even more furious was that Lu Jiao didn't give them any pork.
She thought no matter how poor their relationship was, Lu Jiao would've given them some. However, in the end, Lu Jiao gave nothing. And today, there was a rumor that Lu Jiao talked poorly of the Xie family.
The more Xie Lan thought about it, the angrier she got. She glared at Lu Jiao but was too scared to say anything out loud.
Shen Xiu on the other hand, was full of rage as she stared at Lu Jiao. She wanted to figure out the fastest way to get this woman out of the Xie Village. If this woman stayed and took care of third brother Xie for a long time, he may end up not kicking her out.
Shen Xiu silently plotted.
Lu Jiao didn't care for these two and only thought about all the things she planned to buy.
The cart continued on and picked up two additional villagers on the way.
The Xie Village was close to town and only took around an hour to get there.
Xie Tieniu parked the cart and said to everybody, "Don't spend too much time here. Come back early."
Everyone nodded.
Lu Jiao went to Baohe Tang first to sell her ganoderma and also to get Xie Yunjin's medicine.
Xie Lan and Shen Xiu walked out after her and glared at her. The two of them continued to mumble about her even after they walked for a long time.
"That fat b!tch sold pork and decided to waste her money here in town. It's so sad that my third brother is so injured and nobody's there to take care of him."
