Bab 23: Wisdom Fairy
Lu Jiao was dumbfounded and the corners of her mouth twitched, "Can we settle this matter quickly? I'm going to cook the chicken soup."
Xie Yunjin didn't move, and said angrily, "You go out, I'll do it by myself."
Lu Jiao looked up at him, then at his legs. His leg bones were fractured, and he couldn't stand at all. Even now she was half-holding him. If she left, he couldn't even stand. How would he relieve his bowels?
Lu Jiao was about to speak when Xie Erzhu's voice came from outside the room, "Third brother, how are you?"
As soon as the words fell, he walked in and saw Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao hugging each other tightly.
Xie Erzhu's aged face immediately turned red, and he retreated subconsciously.
In the room, Xie Yunjin called out, "Second brother, wait a minute."
Xie Erzhu looked back in embarrassment. Xie Yunjin called again, "Second brother, come and do me a favor."
Seeing Xie Yunjin's insistence, Lu Jiao also knew that this person really didn't want her to help, so she could let Xie Erzhu help.
This time, Lu Jiao also said, "Second brother, come and help me."
Since both of them called him, Xie Erzhu decided to come in.
As soon as he came over and saw the toilet behind Xie Yunjin, Xie Erzhu understood. It turned out that he just wanted to poop. They were not doing anything else in broad daylight.
Lu Jiao looked at Xie Erzhu and advised, "You half-hold him and let him sit on the toilet to make it easier. Right now, his leg is broken, and he can't stand, so he can only lean on the second brother."
Xie Erzhu nodded immediately, "Third sister-in-law, don't worry, I know what to do."
Lu Jiao handed Xie Yunjin into the hands of Xie Erzhu, and she backed out. Before leaving, she took the four little ones with her.
The four little ones were also obedient, knowing that Daddy didn't want people to see him relieve himself, so they went out obediently.
Lu Jiao was not in a hurry to deal with the pig remains in the yard. She first prepared the chicken soup, and then took her time to sort out the remains. Xie Hu had already cleaned the pig's head and trotters. Only the intestines, which are more difficult to clean, were left.
Lu Jiao used ash to clean the pig's intestines.
After the pig's intestines were cleaned, Lu Jiao put all the things in the space without anyone noticing. It's summer, and if these things are not put away, they will soon become spoiled.
At this time, Lu Jiao realized the advantage of space. It can be used as a refrigerator in the summer.
In the east bedroom, Xie Yunjin finished relieving himself, and Xie Erzhu carried him to bed, tidied up his clothes, and went out to clean up the toilet.
Lu Jiao really wanted to give Xie Erzhu something to eat, but Xie Erzhu lived in Xie's house, and even if she gave him something to eat, their family wouldn't be able to eat much.
Lu Jiao thought about it, looked at Xie Erzhu and said, "Second brother, I should give you some pork ribs or something, but you won't be able to eat much if you take it back, so come here at night. I will pack some pork. Bring the bowl back to your room and let the second sister-in-law taste it."
Xie Erzhu immediately waved his hand and said, "No, no need. Let the third brother eat these to nourish himself."
Lu Jiao smiled and said, "There is enough, and if you let Daya and Erya come over to play, I might as well give them something to eat, otherwise they won't be able to get it."
Xie Erzhu immediately shook his head and said, "No need, they ate at home."
Lu Jiao looked at Xie Erzhu unhappily, "Second brother, how can you act like this with us? I wanted to trouble my second brother with something, but I can't tell you if you are like this."
When Xie Erzhu heard Lu Jiao's words, he immediately said, "What does the third sister-in-law want me to do?"
Lu Jiao glanced at Xie Yunjin on the bed and said, "It's okay for me to take care of Yunjin. It's just that relieving the bowels is not convenient for me to take care of. I will trouble the second brother to come every night in the future."
[T/N: Lu Jiao is using the medical term here.]
Xie Erzhu looked blank, "relieving the bowels?"
Lu Jiao turned to look at Xie Yunjin on the bed. Xie Yunjin stared at her coldly with a black line on his face.
Xie Erzhu looked at his expression and immediately understood what relieving the bowels meant. He nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll come here every night."
"Well, then you remember to come over tonight," Lu Jiao said, and Xie Erzhu was about to wave his hand. Today, the third brother has pooped, and he doesn't need to come again.
But Xie Yunjin said on the bed, "Second brother, come over tonight, and later let Daya and Erya come over to play with the four children."
The person Xie Erzhu admires the most is Xie Yunjin. Since he was a child, he has felt that his third brother is smart, so he is mostly willing to listen to him. At this time, as soon as Xie Yunjin opened his mouth, Xie Erzhu agreed, "That's fine."
"Well, second brother, go back, don't let them find out. Otherwise, you will be scolded again."
Xie Yunjin didn't even mention the word "parents". Xie Erzhu opened his mouth to say something nice about Old Master Xie, but, in the end, without saying anything, he turned around and left.
In the room, Lu Jiao walked over to the bed and looked at Xie Yunjin and said, "I'm going to the town to sell Ganoderma lucidum in the afternoon. Your medicine is almost over, there is no rice at home, and the four little guys don't have any other clothes. I'm going to buy each of them two sets of ready-made clothes."
Lu Jiao paused for a while, and then went on to remind Xie Yunjin, "Look at the four children. Don't let them run around."
Xie Yunjin squinted at the woman beside the bed, obviously it's still the same big round face.
At this time, she was gentle and clear yet loud enough, and the words she said weren't vulgar and disgusting, but when he calmed down, he could see that she was very concerned about the four children now. This concern is not false. It's the kind of concern that's brimming with sincerity.
Xie Yunjin couldn't understand how a person could have two different personalities. He couldn't help but frown and reply lightly, "Yeah."
After Xie Yunjin finished answering, he suddenly thought of what Lu Jiao had said before. In the past, she was so crazy because of her unrequited love.
However, he quickly rejected the idea. The confidence of the woman in front of him was etched in her bones. Her words and deeds showed good upbringing, which is not something that ordinary country people can teach.
Xie Yunjin felt that even those young ladies in the county couldn't match her confident gestures, so this woman was unlikely to be the original her.
In the room, after Lu Jiao and Xie Yunjin finished talking, she turned around and went out. Behind her, Xie Yunjin stared at her, calm and graceful, neither humble nor arrogant.
Looking at her from behind like this, he suddenly realized one thing, this woman is not Lu Jiao. Who is she?
As Xie Yunjin kept thinking about it, a light flashed in his mind.
He remembered the strange anecdotes he had seen before. There was a fool somewhere. When he woke up, not only was he not stupid, but he became extremely smart, and he also passed the jinshi.
[T/N: Jinshi was the highest and final degree in Imperial China's imperial examination.]
Somewhere, a mute suddenly opened his mouth to speak. Not only was his speech fluent, but his actions were also very well-organized.
Locals say that such a person was enlightened by a Wisdom Fairy.
When Xie Yunjin saw it at the time, he thought that the person's body had been taken over by an unaccompanied spirit, so would Lu Jiao's body have been taken over by a spirit as well?
