147 Allow them to Bounce Around a Few More Days
In front of the trellis stood several seniors. They were here to watch the show. When they heard what Lu Jiao had said, they couldn’t help but scold Chen Liu.
“How did you raise your children? They are calling their own aunt a b.!.t.c.h and their own cousins b.a.s.t.a.r.ds. Those are not words children should say.”
“Her sons are not going to have a future if they already behave like this.”
“It’s a shame for our village to have children like this.”
Chen Liu’s face became uglier and uglier as she listened to the villagers.
She turned to Lu Jiao, “How can you believe children’s words so easily? Look at how badly your kids hurt Caidou. They’re blood-related cousins! How could they be so cruel towards their own cousins?”
Even now, Chen Liu was trying to get the children to make up.
Before Lu Jiao could speak, the quadruplets walked out and said with their heads held high, “We don’t have cousins like them. They cursed our mother! They’re our enemies.”
After the First Born spoke. The Second, Third, and Fourth Born all nodded in unison, “Exactly.”
The memory of Caidou cursing out his mom made the Fourth Born furious. He angrily shouted, “He called my mommy a b.!.t.c.h! You’re the b.!.t.c.h! Your whole family is a b.!.t.c.h!”
Lu Jiao coughed instantly. The Fourth Born turned to Lu Jiao, “Mommy, I won’t curse anymore.”
Lu Jiao then said to Chen Liu, “You need to leave. If you refuse, I will have to throw you out.”
She then walked up to Chen Liu and her son. When Chen Liu remembered how Lu Jiao looked when she beat up people, she shuddered and ran away with Caidou.
Outside, the Second Grandma and the others sincerely lectured Chen Liu, “Daqiang’s wife, you need to educate your children. Or else you’ll be the ones suffering when they grow up.”
“Yeah, boys need to be scolded and punished to know how to be a man. Only if they are educated, will you get to enjoy life later.”
Chen Liu pulled Caidou away, ignoring those people. Once she got to a place with n.o.body else around, she finally cursed at her son, “How are you so stupid? I told you to make the quadruplets happy yet you go around cursing them?”
Caidou’s been doted on all his life and he’s never suffered such a loss. When he heard Chen Liu’s criticism, he angrily howled, “You’re not my mother! They hit me yet you curse at me!”
He then turned around and ran away. Currently, he was highly jealous of the quadruplets. Look at how nice their mother was! After they fought, she took out candy for the kids who helped her sons. With his own mother, he got scolded after he got beat up! His mother also got so scared by his third aunt and she ran away fast like a rabbit. How useless.
Back at the Xie yard, Lu Jiao got rid of Chen Liu and Caidou. She asked the quadruplets to go back to teaching.
Since the village kids have never learned any words before, the quadruplets were only able to teach a few sentences each day.
The First Born was responsible for teaching them the p.r.o.nunciations of each word while the Second Born taught them how to read the different characters.
The Third Born was responsible for checking up on their knowledge and quizzing them to make sure they didn’t forget what was taught previously.
As for the Fourth Born, he asked the kids to flip through the book and find characters on later pages that match the words they just learned. That way, he could ensure they fully understood.
Lu Jiao went back to the east bedroom.
There, Xie Yunjin’s brows were filled with coldness.
Lu Jiao was now also in a bad mood. That Xie family always brings her down.
She silently exclaimed how lucky she was to separate from Xie Yunjin soon. Or else she would have to see those people occasionally her entire life. They were so annoying she was willing to hit them with sticks.
Lu Jiao went to the chair by the desk and glared at Xie Yunjin, “Your family is full of special people.”
Xie Yunjin didn’t fully understand but he didn’t want to clarify. He turned to Lu Jiao and smiled.
“Only a few more days of injustice.”
Lu Jiao couldn’t really comment further after that.
Xie Yunjin’s gaze softened, “Once I can move around, I’ll make sure they won’t be able to provoke you anymore.”
Lu Jiao remembered the plot Xie Yunjin set up against his mother – it hadn’t even come to fruition. Once that news comes out, Lady Ruan will likely cause more trouble.
As for Xie Daqiang and the others, Xie Yunjin will take care of them once he has more mobility.
Those thoughts cheered Lu Jiao up. She grinned back, “Once you can move around, you can get rid of Xie Daqiang and the others if they come here.”
Xie Yunjin agreed right away, “Sure.”
Lu Jiao felt better since he accepted right away.
With her smile bright, she decided, “I will allow them to bounce around for a few more days.”
Keeping her smile, she left the room, “I’ll go fetch you some water.”
Her happy, warm, and flower-like smile put Xie Yunjin in a much gentler mood.
Lu Jiao got some water from the kitchen and added some spiritual stream water. Since Xie Yunjin gave her custody of the quadruplets, she will take care of him well these last few months.
Her behavior, however, made Xie Yunjin misunderstand that she was in a good mood and was now highly proactive because she was happy they would no longer be separating.
It appeared that she liked him just as much as she liked the four little ones and the idea of staying together made her happy.
Her mood often determined his mood.
Later in the day, Lu Jiao took the four little ones up the mountain. The Second Born brought his slingshot and vowed to hunt down a wild chicken. The Fourth Born took his bamboo sword and promised to protect his mother.
Lu Jiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she took the children up the mountain.
This time, the kids made it to the top. However, they did need breaks in between.
Once at the top, Lu Jiao took out some candy for them to share.
The kids ate and rested. With more energy now, they strolled around excitedly.
This was their first time up the mountain and they were interested in everything. Even the wildflower made them curious
“Mommy, what is this?”
“That is creeping thistle. Though it’s wild, it’s very valuable and can stop bleeding.”
“Mommy, what is this? It looks like a dog’s tail.”
The First Born pulled some Setaria and inquisitively looked at Lu Jiao.
Lu Jiao smiled, “That’s Setaria. It’s also a medicine.”
The First Born stared at Lu Jiao in awe, “Mommy, you’re amazing. You know everything.”
Before Lu Jiao could answer, the Fourth Born chimed in, “Of course my mommy is amazing.”
Lu Jiao and the First Born both laughed. Just then, the Second Born’s excited scream was heard, “Mommy, come here! Look! What is this? Can I eat it?”
