130 You Treat me with Sincerity Today, I return the Sincerity Tomorrow

Aunt Guihua started to ignore Widow Wang and turned to Lu Jiao.

“Jiaojiao, is sheep milk really that great?”

Lu Jiao nodded, “There are many benefits. Sheep milk is very gentle and can heal the stomach and spleen. It cures deficiencies and provides moisture. Sheep milk can even help detox the body. There are many benefits.”

Aunt Guihua’s heart fluttered, “Once I get rich, I’ll also get a sheep and give the milk to my Tiedan.”

The other women inside the cart speechlessly looked at Aunt Guihua.

Aunt Guihua had a grandson, fat like a ball. Obviously, he was a frequent over-eater and didn’t need any extra nutrition.

When Lu Jiao arrived home, the four little ones were waiting for her by the door. They stared in her direction and the moment she appeared, they jumped up and rushed to her side.

“Mommy, you are back!”

“Momy, we were good and taught everyone how to read.”

“Mommy, are you hungry?”

The Fourth Born hugged Lu Jiao’s legs and whined, “Mommy, I missed you. Did you miss me?”

Lu Jiao found this funny. They only separated for a little bit and they already miss her?

She patted the Fourth Born’s head to taunt him, “How much did you miss me?”

The Fourth Born let go of Lu Jiao and extended his arms out, “This much!”

Lu Jiao replied with a grin, “I missed you that much too.”

The Fourth Born giggled out of happiness.

The mother and her children entered the yard. From the kitchen, Lin Chunyan walked out and greeted, “Third aunt, you’re back. I made you lunch. You’re back just in time.”

Lu Jiao felt really bad and pulled Lin Yanchun aside, “Chunyan, stop doing all my chores for me.”

Lin Chunyan was anxious, “Third aunt, I…”

Lu Jiao felt that Lin Chunyan hated doing nothing more than chores. The anxiety of doing nothing was worse for her illness.

Lu Jiao thought about it and decided to add, “Of course, if you’re free, you can help me out. But you can only help me once you are done with your own housework.”

Lin Chunyan smiled and agreed, “Okay, third aunt!”

Lu Jiao grinned back, “Wait a second.”

She went to the kitchen and took out three medicinal herbs from her space – a horse chestnut, bark lotus, and amaranthus. She also grabbed a handful of candy.

“Chunyan, crush these herbs and put them in a pouch. Bring it with you when you go into the mountains to protect yourself against snakes. If you get a snake bite, smear it on your wound to get rid of the inflammation. Also, I got some candy today while I was in town, take some to try.”

Lin Chunyan declined right away, “Third aunt, I can’t take these.”

Lu Jiao pulled onto her, “Your health isn’t good. You need to eat more sugar for your body. If you feel bad, do some housework for me.”

Lin Chunyan’s eyes turned red. Honestly, because of her inability to carry children, she’s been very suppressed at home. Her mother-in-law never treated her well because she hasn’t had any children. Growing up, she’s never had someone show her this much care.

“Thank you, third aunt.”

“Do you want to have lunch before heading back?”

Hearing that, Lin Chunyan took the medicine and the candy and left.

Lu Jiao took the wok and the sheep and headed to the kitchen.

Only now, did the four little ones notice the sheep that came back with Lu Jiao.

The First Born asked in shock, “Mom, what is that?”

“This is a sheep. I asked someone to get it for us. I’m going to feed you the milk from this animal. That way, you get to grow tall and be healthy!”

The First Born was ecstatic. With his eyes as clear as crystal, he stared at Lu Jiao.

His mom was so nice to them!

The First Born was now certain that the only reason his mom treated them poorly before was that she wasn’t happy back at the Xie family home. When people are in a bad mood, they naturally get angry and transfer that negativity to others. He, himself, has done the same. Therefore, no matter what, he refused to go back to the Xie family home. As long as his mommy is in a good mood, she will treat them well.

The Second, Third, and Fourth Born were very happy to be able to drink milk.

Lu Jiao tied the sheep near the kitchen and reminded the four little ones, “Remember to feed the greens I grew to the sheep.”

Once the sheep drinks the greens that’ve been nourished by the spiritual stream water, her milk will be more nutritious and better for the body.

The four little ones circled the sheep and discussed while Lu Jiao took in the wok.

While she was at it, she took out a small portion of all the food she brought back so everything looked reasonable.

When the four little ones came inside and saw all the items in the kitchen, they were stunned.

They were still young and didn’t wonder how their mom managed to stuff so many things in her half-full basket.

Right now, they were far too thrilled to see all the food, “Mommy, you bought so much good food!”

Lu Jiao nodded with a smile. She washed some grapes and placed them into a bowl.

“Share these with your dad. I will scoop out lunch for us to eat.”

The four little ones cheered, “Okay mommy!”

Then they went to the east bedroom with the bowl of grapes to share with Xie Yunjin.

Lu Jiao scooped out the dishes and brought them to the living room table.

For lunch, Lin Chunyan made rice, steamed some eggs with green onion, and stir-fried long beans.

The thought of her two new woks elated Lu Jiao. From now on, it’ll be easy to cook. This afternoon, she’ll clean the woks, and then she’ll be able to use them for dinner.

Lu Jiao was getting happier by the second as she thought about it. She took a tray of food and went into the east bedroom.

Right now, the four little ones were happily eating grapes with Xie Yunjin. There was honestly only enough for a few grapes per person. Lu Jiao had a lot of fruits in her space but she didn’t dare to take them out. Fruits such as strawberries and cherries didn’t exist in the Zhou Dynasty. She wouldn’t be able to explain how she got them.

She could only take out fruits that were on the market.

She felt very saddened by this but she had no other choice

“Okay, wash hands and eat lunch.”

Lu Jiao placed Xie Yunjin’s food by his bed and helped him sit up. She asked, “Are you okay to eat by yourself?”

“It’s fine. I can eat by myself.”

“Do your legs hurt today?”

“No, they stopped hurting. Did Dr. Qi have any messages for me while you were there today?”

Lu Jiao thought about it, “Dr. Qi said you need to rest well and eat nutritious food, such as bone broth. I bought chicken, duck, and fish today, as well as some big bones. Now that we have two pots at home, I can make soup easily.”

Xie Yunjin’s gaze deepened. Looking at Lu Jiao, he very much wanted to tell her –

You treat me with sincerity today, I return the sincerity tomorrow.

In the end, he couldn’t bring himself to say it. He asked, “Didn’t you say I can get the stitches out in a few days? Did Dr. Qi say when?”

Lu Jiao walked up to his legs and lifted his pants. She unwrapped the bandages and checked, “Dr. Qi said five to seven days. It looks like your wounds are healing well. You can probably get the stitches out the day after tomorrow.”

Though she hasn’t been able to administer saline for him, she’s been giving him anti-inflammatory medicine daily. This was why he was healing nicely.

Xie Yunjin’s mood was unspeakably wonderful.

His happiness crawled up his brows and his eyes gathered much light. His dark pupils emitted rays of softness and slight drunkenness. The way he stared at Lu Jiao seemed to hold much affection.
