Kapitel 25: Resentment
Mrs Zhang immediately smiled and said, "Okay."
She turned around and placed the rabbit in the kitchen before taking the basket and heading to the vegetable field to collect vegetables.
In the living room, Xie Fugui asked about Xie Yunjin's situation with concern and told Lu Jiao earnestly.
"Although Yunjin has suffered such a major ordeal, it doesn't mean that he will not be able to stand out in the future. The doctor at the Medical Hall said that if his leg could undergo surgery, he could be cured, so you have to treat him well. In the future, he will rise to the top, and you will enjoy the blessings as well."
Hearing Xie Fugui's words, the corners of Lu Jiao's mouth twitched. She doesn't hope to enjoy any blessings as long as she doesn't have to worry about him settling accounts with her.
However, through these words, she also became aware of how high Xie Fugui's expectations are for Xie Yunjin. Even if Xie Yunjin is hurt like this, he still has high hopes for him.
"I see, village chief."
Datou and Maomao, Xie Fugui's two grandchildren, stood in the yard, staring at the bamboo dragonfly held by the triplets.
Lu Jiao looked at the triplets and said, "Second Child, Third Child, Fourth Child, let brother play with the bamboo dragonfly in your hand."
The triplets frowned unhappily right away. This was the first toy they received, and they didn't want to give it to others to play with.
However, due to their fear of Lu Jiao, they didn't dare say no, but their faces were full of reluctance.
Lu Jiao said softly, "You should share your toys with your friends. In the future, when Datou and Maomao have good toys, they will also share them with you."
The three little boys eventually agreed, and the children quickly started playing together, filling the yard with cheerful laughter.
Xie Fugui turned around to face Lu Jiao after taking everything in. Yunjin's wife seemed to have changed. She used to be a shrewd bitch, but now she has completely changed.
Could it be that because Yunjin suffered such a great disaster, she changed her outlook on life?
Thinking of it this way, he felt quite relieved. Listening to Yunjin's wife educating her children in such a reasonable manner, he felt that this was the correct approach of teaching children. Their children should play together in the future.
Meanwhile, Mrs Zhang came in with a basket full of vegetables.
"Yunjin's wife, come and pick up more vegetables at my house once you've finished eating these. There are a lot of vegetables growing in my yard, and they'll eventually get spoiled since we can't eat them all."
After she finished speaking, she handed the vegetable basket to Lu Jiao and suggested, "I noticed that your yard is empty, so you can also grow some vegetables in there."
Lu Jiao instantly nodded, "I think so too. In the afternoon, I'm heading to town to see if there are hoes for sale in the blacksmith shop so that I can start growing vegetables in the front and back yards."
Mrs. Zhang agreed, "Well, that's fine."
Just as Mrs. Zhang spoke, she thought that the bullock cart was going to town in the afternoon, so she said, "My family's bullock cart is going to town in the afternoon. You can also come over in the afternoon."
Xie Fugui's family owns a cow. In the farming season, the cow is used in the farm. Otherwise, they use it to transport the villagers to the market in the town. Of course, they charge money. Every back and forth trip to town costs two cents. Once at least five to six villagers have gathered to go to town, they set off.
Xie Fugui also looked at Lu Jiao and said, "Come here in the afternoon and go to town in Tieniu's bullock cart, so that you don't have to run here and there."
Xie Tieniu is Xie Fugui's eldest son. Usually, he is the one who drives people to the town in the bullock cart.
"Okay, thank you, village chief and sister-in-law. I'll go back first to prepare something to eat."
"Let's go back," she said to the triplets.
As the four mothers and sons were about to leave, Datou and Maomao stared intensely at the bamboo dragonflies in the hands of the second child and the third child.
When Lu Jiao looked at the triplets, she noticed that they were clutching the bamboo dragonfly tightly, obviously afraid that she would let them hand it over to Datou and Maomao.
Lu Jiao also understood their feelings. She would also definitely be reluctant to give away her toys the first time she received them. She didn't insist on letting the triplets give them away because even if she made them again for the triplets, the meaning would be different.
"Datou, Maomao, how about I make two for you in the afternoon?"
Lu Jiao originally wanted to say that the third aunt would make two for you, but in the end, considering her seniority, OMG, Datou and Maomao should be calling her third grandma!
Lu Jiao had a black line on her face. She immediately stopped talking. She didn't want to become a grandmother at such a young age!
Datou and Maomao were overjoyed, nodding again and again while calling her third grandma enthusiastically.
"Third grandma, please remember to bring it over in the afternoon."
"Don't forget it, third grandma"
With a flushed face, Lu Jiao pulled the three little boys away.
The three little boys were also quite happy because Lu Jiao didn't ask them to hand over the bamboo dragonfly to Datou and Maomao.
People kept saying hello to Lu Jiao along the way, and Lu Jiao also politely spoke a few words to them one by one.
However, there were also a few snide comments directed towards her.
"Oh, the Scholar's wife is going to the village chief's house to give gifts. Haha, she won't give it to her parents, but she will willingly give it to others. What a white-eyed wolf!"
Lu Jiao turned around to see that the one who spoke was Luo Guihua, a villager who had always resented the original owner.
Luo Guihua resented the original owner because she resented the original owner's mother.
Luo Guihua was in love with the original owner's father when she was young, but the original owner's mother got married to him first. Luo Guihua and the mother of the original owner were like enemies. Luo Guihua later on got married to someone else from the Xie Clan Village.
Originally, the matter was supposed to be over. Who knew that the original owner was also married to a man from the Xie Clan Village, and that too, to the only scholar in the village? Luo Guihua was furious at this point, and she sneered and ridiculed the original owner whenever she saw her. The original owner, of course, was also not polite to her.
As long as Luo Guihua was looking for trouble, she would definitely scold her, and as a result, the relationship between the two became worse and worse.
From memory, after Lu Jiao learned about this woman named Luo Guihua, she immediately sarcastically said,
"Since ancient times, if the father has not been kind, the son has also been unfilial to him. To be an elder, you must first act like an elder, and only then will the younger generation be filial and considerate. I have grown up so much, but I have never heard of a parent who drove their seriously injured son out. Of course, if Aunt Guihua is also such a person, she won't be able to understand our feelings."
After Lu Jiao finished speaking, she led the three children away, and Luo Guihua yelled angrily behind her, "Damn fat woman! She thought she would go to heaven if she married a scholar, so she acted like her mother, shamelessly robbing other people's men. Bah!"
After she finished cursing, she turned around and directly went to Old Master Xie's house.
