Chapter 223 - 223 Did He Replace His Wife?

223 Did he Replace his Wife?

Since Lu Jiao didn’t decline, Lady Tian smiled happily.

This was the first time the four little ones received a red pocket. They danced around and cheered.

After moments of excitement, they collectively gave the money to Lu Jiao.

The four little ones announced, “Mommy, this is for you to buy new clothes with.”

“Once we get more money, we’ll buy you a silver bracelet.”

The four little ones had not heard of or seen jewelry other than silver hoops or bracelets, therefore, they all thought silver bracelets were the best jewelry there was. They kept on making the promise to buy Lu Jiao a silver bracelet.

Lu Jiao smiled, “Awesome. I will wait for my sons to show their appreciation for me!”

The four little ones were so happy their lips couldn’t close. Lady Tian loved them so much. However, she quickly remembered that her daughter was going to separate from the family and the four little ones would be Xie Yunjin’s only.

The sadness Lady Tian felt was unspeakable. Her eyes subconsciously turned red. Beside her, Xie Danian comforted her, “Don’t cry. Our daughter will visit us often.”

Lu Danian didn’t know about the problem between Lu Jiao and Xie Yunjin. Lady Tian didn’t tell him.

By the time the oxcart returned to the Xie Village, it was already afternoon. Everyone knew they were out visiting, so when they saw the oxcart return, everyone greeted them and told them, “Yunjin, Yunjin’s wife, you have guests.”

Lu Jiao and Xie Yunjin exchanged glances. Guests? Who?

Lu Jiao thanked the person, “Thank you, aunt Lin.”

When Xie Tieniu heard that, he picked up speed and headed to Xie Yunjin’s home.

There was a horse carriage at Lu Jiao’s gate. Also, there were two to three people chatting with the Xie villagers.

The oxcart arriving caught everyone’s attention.

Lu Jiao looked over and saw that out of the three guests, two were older. One of them was rather handsome and acted very studious. He appeared to be a sophisticated scholar. The other one was also graceful and charming.

The young one of the group was someone Lu Jiao recognized – Classmate Han.

Given that Classmate Han was here, Lu Jiao easily guessed the identity of the other two.

Beside her, Xie Yunjin had gotten out of the oxcart happily and greeted the guests, “Dean Lu, Professor Wang, what are you doing here?”

It became obvious to Lu Jiao why the two men appeared so studious.

At the front, the Dean and the Professor happily chatted with Xie Yunjin. Behind them, Lu Jiao and Lu Gui carried the four little ones and Huzi off the cart.

Xie Tieniu wanted to go back home right away. Lu Jiao took out some money to pay for the ride but Xie Tieniu refused it and left.

Since he left, Lu Jiao didn’t chase after him. She went to thank the Second Grandma and Xie Xiaobao. The Second Grandma waved around her hand to tell her to go back to her guests.

Lu Jiao took the children and Lu Gui into the living room along with Xie Yunjin.

Classmate Han was the last to follow. When he saw Lu Jiao and the children, he struck up a conversation, “Lady Lu, you went to visit your family?”

He heard from the neighbors that Xie Yunjin’s family went visiting and he thought he was going to miss them. Luckily, the family returned today.

Lu Jiao nodded, “Yes, I brought the kids to see their grandma.”

The four little ones then greeted Classmate Han politely, “Uncle Han, you’re here.”

Classmate Han nodded and patted their heads. He then saw a naughty boy staring at him and he asked, “This is…?”

Before Lu Jiao could answer, the four little ones started to introduce Huzi excitedly, “This is my cousin, Huzi.”

The children then said to Huzi, “This is Uncle Han. You also call him Uncle Han.”

Huzi imitated the boys and called out, “Uncle Han.”

Classmate Han felt embarrassed and chuckled, “I’m sorry I didn’t bring you a gift today. I’ll make it up to you next time.”

Lu Jiao responded, “There’s really no need.”

She then asked, “Is something the matter? Why are Dean Lu and Professor Wang here?”

Classmate Han whispered, “The Dean just returned from his trip and heard about what happened to Yunjin. He came to see him and also has something to talk to him about.”

It wasn’t Lu Jiao’s place to ask more. She told the kids to play by themselves before she went to make some tea and food. The family had been traveling all day and still hasn’t eaten lunch yet.

The four little ones took the intrigued Huzi to see their dogs, rabbits, and sheep.

Inside the living room, Xie Yunjin was conversing with the Dean and Professor, “Thank you both for visiting. My legs are fine now. I plan on returning to school after a short while.”

Now that Xie Yunjin could walk again, the Dean and Professor were exceptionally happy.

Xie Yunjin was famous in the Qinghe District. Even the district magistrate had once complimented Xie Yunjin’s intelligence. For next year’s exam, if he’s able to pull off first place, he would end up being number one in the whole province. His future would be set then.

Before, when Xie Yunjin was trampled by a horse carriage, the Dean was out visiting another school. When he heard the news of the extent of Xie Yunjin’s injuries, he almost passed out.

“As long as your legs are fine, you can take next year’s exam.”

Xie Yunjin nodded and promised, “I will do my best on next year’s exam.”

“Great, great.”

The Dean and Professor both smiled. Dean Lu stared at Xie Yunjin in satisfaction. With Xie Yunjin’s capability, he was most likely to place first on next year’s exam.

“Yunjin, if you are still homebound and have the time, can you do me a favor?”

This was his second reason for visiting today.

Xie Yunjin respectfully answered, “What is it?”

“Because of the September exam, lots of younger students want your help. Of course, they aren’t asking you to do it for free. They are all willing to pay. I did some math. There are around 17 to 18 people who want your help. You can help them out and also make some money.

I’ve told them that they should pay you two taels of silver each until the exam in September. If they do end up passing, they would then pay you 30 taels of silver extra.”

Those words made it clear to Xie Yunjin that the people needing help were wealthy young masters who didn’t lack money.

Xie Yunjin frowned slightly. He knew the Dean was doing this to help him earn some extra income. However, at the same time, if lots of students pass the exam, it would help build the school’s reputation as well.

As Xie Yunjin thought it over, Lu Jiao came in with tea, “Dean Lu, Professor Wang, have some tea.”

The Dean and the Professor looked at Lu Jiao. Then, both of them were stunned.

They’ve heard that Xie Yunjin married a fat, moronic, idiotic, and loud woman. Therefore, they didn’t expect to see such a delicate, elegant, and confident woman.

Did he replace his wife?
