Bab 24: Bamboo Dragonfly
Xie Yunjin thought about it carefully, and suddenly thought of Lu Jiao's injury and bleeding from the forehead. It seems that since that day, her words and deeds have been abnormal, so it is possible that the current Lu Jiao may not really be her.
When Xie Yunjin thought of this possibility, his brows and eyes instantly turned hostile, and his black eyes flashed with a cold light.
But soon, he thought that the current Lu Jiao was not as violent and cruel as the one before. On the contrary, this person didn't seem to have bad intentions towards them, and she also cared very much for the quadruplets.
Thinking of this, Xie Yunjin visibly relaxed, but he still decided to be alert.
Even if that person doesn't have bad intentions right now, who knows if she may develop bad intentions later, so he has to pay attention. If she never harbours any bad intentions, it is not impossible for him to allow her to live.
Xie Yunjin figured this out and closed his eyes to rest for a while.
Outside the room, Lu Jiao didn't know all this. She took the bamboo and gum she got from the mountain to make a toilet for Xie Yunjin that could be used on the bed.
The quadruplets, standing beside her, curiously watched her work.
Seeing that the four little guys had nothing to do, Lu Jiao made four bamboo dragonflies.
"Come here, this is a bamboo dragonfly for you to play with."
The four little guys looked at the bamboo dragonfly in her hand curiously. Lu Jiao rubbed her hands together, and the bamboo dragonfly flew up.
The quadruplets' eyes sparkled, and their small faces stared excitedly at the bamboo dragonfly that flew into the air.
"You can compare whose bamboo dragonfly flies the highest."
The four little guys weren't too afraid of Lu Jiao now, so they reached out to pick one each. The four of them played with their bamboo dragonflies in the yard.
The lonely and desolate courtyard suddenly turned lively because of their laughter. While making the toilet bowl, Lu Jiao looked at them while thinking about what all she needed to buy when she went to sell Ganoderma lucidum in the afternoon.
As Lu Jiao was mentally preparing a shopping list, she put together a simple and easy-to-use version of the toilet. After she put away her things, she realized that it was still early, so she decided to go to the village chief's house.
Right now, their relationship with the Xie family has turned stiff, but they still have a good relationship with the village chief.
Lu Jiao took one of the pig trotters, took out the hare that she had caught yesterday, put it in the basket, and found a piece of cloth to cover it.
"I'm going to the village chief's house. Do you want to go too?"
Carrying the basket, Lu Jiao asked the four little ones who were having fun in the yard.
When the four little boys heard her words, they glanced at her for a moment. The second child, the third child and the fourth child were all a little tempted, but the eldest child shook his head sensibly.
"I'll accompany daddy."
The Second Child, the Third Child and the Fourth Child listened to his words, and quickly shook their heads, "We'll also accompany Daddy."
She didn't insist. She planned to leave with the basket in her hand. The youngest of the four looked at the three brothers beside him and suddenly ran out and rushed towards Lu Jiao. He reached out and held Lu Jiao's hand.
Lu Jiao looked down at him in surprise and saw him blinking and staring at her.
Lu Jiao smiled and said, "Do you want to go to the village chief's house with me?"
The Youngest Child quickly glanced at the three brothers behind him, and then nodded vigorously, expressing that he wanted to go with her.
Lu Jiao didn't refuse, "Okay, let's go out. You can play there."
The Second Child and the Third Child, who were still standing in the courtyard, resisting the temptation, saw the movements of the Fourth Child, and immediately called out angrily, "Big Brother, look at the Fourth Brother!"
The eldest child first looked at Lu Jiao and then at the Youngest Child. He felt that the bad woman would not sell the Youngest Child, so he nodded and said, "If he wants to go, let him go."
He turned his head to look at the second child and the third child and said, "You can go too. I'll be watching Daddy."
When the Second Child and the Third Child heard it, both of them were tempted. They also wanted to go out to play, but wouldn't it not be good to let the eldest brother guard by himself?
Ignoring the people behind her, Lu Jiao led the youngest child out of the yard fence. In the courtyard, the second child and the third child became anxious and couldn't care less about their big brother, so they immediately chased after her.
"I, I'm going too."
"I want to go too."
When Lu Jiao looked back at the Second Child and the Third Child, their big apricot eyes were full of unease, and when she saw that they had the same appearance as herself in her previous life, her heart softened a little.
In her previous life, she didn't even have a man, let alone a child, but now that she sees a child who looks very similar to herself, she feels a bit overwhelmed.
"Okay, keep up. I'm going to cook after coming back from the village chief's house."
The Second Child and the Third Child immediately became happy, but felt sorry for their big brother, so they turned around and looked over.
The Eldest Child had already turned around and walked into the house. The Second Child and the Third Child quickly followed Lu Jiao, who was walking in the front, and the mother and sons walked all the way to the village chief's house.
Xie Yunjin and the village chief, Xie Fugui, are from the same generation. They have two sons and one daughter. They are very fair-minded and have a good reputation in Xie Clan Village.
Before Xie Yunjin got seriously injured, Xie Fugui had great hopes for him. If Xie Yunjin walked out of Xie Clan Village one day and became an official, Xie Clan Village would be driven to become prosperous.
It's just that he never thought that Xie Yunjin would be seriously injured.
Xie Fugui was even sadder than Xie Yunjin's parents.
But now that the matter has come to this point, Xie Fugui can't do anything about it. On the contrary, Xie Fugui sympathises with Xie Yunjin due to the actions of Old Master Xie's family.
Xie Fugui saw Lu Jiao coming and asked with concern, "Yunjin's wife, are you facing any difficulty? If you are facing any difficulty, you can tell me. Let me see if I can help you."
Lu Jiao smiled and shook her head, "Village chief, there is no difficulty. My family has been bothering you for the past few days, but we weren't able to compensate you. There are still some pig trotters left from the wild boar that was slaughtered today, so I want to give a pig trotter to the village chief. The village chief must not dislike it."
As soon as Lu Jiao said it, Xie Fugui refused with a straight face, "Take it back to nourish Yunjin. We don't need it."
In the house, Mrs. Zhang, Xie Fugui's wife, also nodded in agreement, "Yunjin's wife, take it back. Our family bought a pound of wild boar from yours before, and it hasn't even been touched yet."
Lu Jiao had brought it. How could she take it back? So she insisted firmly.
"You must know that I can go up the mountain to hunt, so this is not really a valuable thing. If Yunjin wants to eat it, then I will go up the mountain to get it. You should accept it. Otherwise, when I want to ask the village chief for help again in the future, I would be too embarrassed to do so."
Xie Fugui and his wife looked at each other, and finally Xie Fugui looked at Mrs. Zhang while saying, "Then accept it. Look at what food you have at home. Give some to her. They don't have any food right now."
Lu Jiao didn't refuse because she was afraid that they may refuse her again.
Mrs. Zhang took the basket to the kitchen. When she found a hare in it, she immediately cried out in surprise.
Xie Fugui glanced in and asked, "Why are you shouting?"
Mrs. Zhang came out with an injured rabbit and said, "Yunjin's wife has also given us a rabbit."
In Xie's courtyard, Xie Fugui's two little grandsons ran over, cheering, "Rabbit, fat rabbit, there's meat to eat now."
Previously, their family had already bought wild boar meat, and now they also have rabbit meat. Wow, that's great.
Seeing her grandson's expression, Mrs. Zhang wanted to accept it, but felt it was not appropriate, so she looked at Xie Fugui. Lu Jiao came into the room and said with a smile.
"If the village chief and sister-in-law feel bad about it, they can give me more vegetables. What my family lacks the most right now is vegetables."
