章 34: Youngest Child Has A Sweet Mouth
Xie Yunjin was still unconscious, but his face looked extremely dirty.
Lu Jiao wiped his face and hands with an old rag before putting it down, intending to take off his shirt and scrub his entire body yet again.
Who'd have guessed she was just about to unfasten Xie Yunjin's waist knot when a hand reached out to grasp her hand? Next, a weak but cold voice was heard.
"What are you doing?"
Lu Jiao looked up and saw that Xie Yunjin had regained consciousness. He was staring at her with cold eyes, as if she was Dengtuzi and he was a woman from a good family who was about to be ravaged.
[T/N: Dengtuzi is a lustful and lecherous character in Chinese literature.]
Dumbfounded, Lu Jiao furrowed her brows and said, "Earlier you went out, and your body became so dirty, plus you hadn't taken a shower in the past two days. I wanted to give you a quick scrub and change your clothes. Do you really want to keep wearing these dirty clothes? Don't you feel uncomfortable in these clothes?"
She's a doctor, so she's used to it, so she doesn't think too much about it, okay?
Lu Jiao furiously rolled her eyes.
Xie Yunjin didn't let go of her hand because of her words. Instead, he still held on to his waist knot. Although he was very weak, he struggled and said, "I'll do it myself."
Lu Jiao didn't force it. She said gently, "Okay, okay, you can do it yourself. Untie the waist knot of your coat first."
Even after the words were spoken, Xie Yunjin still remained motionless, staring at her.
Lu Jiao thought about it and understood what he meant, so she turned away from him.
Later, Xie Yunjin sighed, frowned, and started to take off his shirt with great effort. He had vomited blood earlier. He was extremely weak, and he had almost no strength in his hands, so he shivered for a long time but was still unable to untie it.
The four little boys in the room looked worried, and they dashed over and hurriedly said,
"Daddy, I'll help you."
"I'll help you."
Lu Jiao silently raised her hand and patted her forehead, thinking about how to solve this problem.
From outside the door, Xie Erzhu's voice came in, "Third brother, how are you?"
When Lu Jiao heard Xie Erzhu's voice, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and called out, "Second brother, come in."
Xie Erzhu walked into the room. When Lu Jiao saw him come in, she immediately asked him to scrub Xie Yunjin. Then she went to the west bedroom to get a set of clothes and added after returning, "Put this on for Yunjin. He'll feel more comfortable in these."
Xie Erzhu gave Lu Jiao a careful look. He used to be afraid of this third sister-in-law, but now he is even more so. I heard that today, the third sister-in-law had dealt with the problems caused by Widow Li, and even took two taels of silver out of Widow Li's hands.
Eventually, she also gave the two taels of silver to the three families who helped the quadruplets. This news was very lively in the village. Many people were annoyed that they had missed the chance to help the quadruplets, and evem more people thought that the third sister-in-law was very arrogant.
On the other hand, when their mother heard about this, she kept on scolding the third sister-in-law for being prodigal for an hour at home.
Xie Erzhu thought carefully while answering, "Well, I see, the third sister-in-law, you may go."
Lu Jiao nodded, turned around, and walked out, leaving the Youngest Child behind, who looked at his father on the bed, then at Lu Jiao, who had turned and walked out. He also turned and ran after Lu Jiao, shouting.
"Mother, I'll accompany you."
The triplets in the room glared at his leaving back fiercely, and then all three of them complained at the same time to Xie Yunjin on the bed.
"Daddy, the Youngest Child called the bad woman Mother."
"Hmph, we're going to ignore him. We're not going to play with him. We're not going to talk to him anymore."
"From now on, I'm not going to protect him."
"What are you talking about? Whether you call her that or not, she's still your mother, and you can't let others not call her that just because you don't want to call her like that," Xie Yunjin reprimanded, raising his eyebrows and looking solemnly at the triplets.
"She wouldn't let us call her that," the second child and the third child grumbled.
Xie Yunjin became angry as he listened to the second child and the third child's words, but he soon realized that Lu Jiao was no longer the woman who used to annoy him previously, and he felt a little more at ease for no apparent reason.
"Isn't she being nice to you now?"
The Second Child and the Three Child stopped talking. Xie Yunjin looked at the three beanies and said earnestly, "If you don't call her that, Daddy won't embarrass you, but you can't be angry just because the Fourth Child is calling her Mother. Remember, you are good brothers. "
"Daddy, we got it," the triplets nodded and said as they looked at each other.
Outside, Lu Jiao was unaware of this and promptly took the Fourth Child to the kitchen.
The pig's head, pig trotters and pork chops from the wild boar that was slaughtered earlier in the morning have not yet been dealt with. Even though they will not be spoiled in the space, they cannot be kept there indefinitely.
Lu Jiao decided to leave the pork chops in the space and first marinate the pig trotters and head, but she had to wait until dinner was over to do so because there was only one pot.
In the kitchen, Xie Xiaojuan has already helped her prepare the rice porridge.
"Third aunt, the porridge is ready. Do you want to feed it to the four little guys?"
Lu Jiao nodded, walked over, and started pouring porridge, and said to Xie Xiaojuan, "You stay and eat a bowl as well. You haven't eaten for such a long time. You must be hungry."
Unexpectedly, as soon as she said it, Xie Xiaojuan shook her head and walked out, "Third Aunt, I'll go back to eat. Please call me later if you have anything else to do."
Lu Jiao wanted to stop her, but Xie Xiaojuan quickly walked out of Xie's small courtyard.
Lu Jiao had no choice but to turn around and go to the kitchen, where she had been serving porridge on the small table. Because it was a little late, she didn't prepare any side dishes. She thought about taking out the red bean cake she had bought in town.
The Youngest Child, looking at the red bean cake in surprise. He couldn't help but ask, "Mother, what is this?"
"Red bean cake. I bought it for you to eat. Each person gets one bowl of porridge and half a piece of red bean cake."
The little boy's eyes twinkled as he looked up at Lu Jiao and exclaimed, "Mother, you are so good."
This mother is really good, much better than the original mother.
When she saw his cute little appearance, she couldn't help but tease him, "If I give it to you, you'll say I'm good. If I don't give it to you, you'll say I'm not good, won't you?"
Shaking his head and smiling until his peach blossom eyes turned into crescent moons, the youngest child said, "Mother is good even if she doesn't give it to me."
Lu Jiao's heart was so full of joy that she couldn't help but lean down and kiss the Youngest Child.
The Youngest Child was stunned, then covered his face and smiled. Mother kissed him! Mother kissed him!
Lu Jiao found it amusing, but seeing that it was getting late, she took the table and walked out, telling the youngest child to slow down, "Be careful, don't fall down."
"Hmm, I see, mother."
The Youngest Child had long since forgotten about the brothers' anger. Mother was so good. She bought candies and red bean cakes for them. By the way, Mother also gave him a kiss. He is so happy.
In the east bedroom, Xie Erzhu had already cleaned Xie Yunjin and put on clean clothes.
Xie Yunjin felt that his whole body was much more comfortable. Despite the fact that Xie Erzhu had scrubbed his body previously, he was still dressed in his old clothes, which was extremely uncomfortable. Now that he was wearing a soft cotton shirt, he felt very comfortable.
Xie Yunjin's aura had also softened a bit.
When Lu Jiao came in with the small table, he didn't appear to be as cold as he used to be. Whatever this woman's background may have been, everything she's done so far has been good, so he won't expose the truth about her identity for the time being.
