Chapter 64: When I Lie, I Blush

Translator: CokeZero  Editor: Rainystars

Of course, Xie Laogen’s household received this news as well.

Compared to other families, who were happy to hear the news, Xie Laogen’s family was deep in bitterness. Lady Ruan continued to rumble in disbelief.

“How’s that possible? That old doctor from Baohe Tang said even if he gets treatment, he will be bedridden for life. Did that doctor lie to us?”

Xie Laogen was frustrated, “That doctor was a doctor who studied in town. Doctor Qi is from the Capital City and he was trained there. His skills are of another level. If he says he can do surgery, then he can.”

Xie Laogen recalled how he forced his son to move out after he sustained injuries.

If his son did heal, would he still consider them family?

Inside the yard, the eldest son grinned, “Isn’t it good news if the third gets cured? If he does well, then we will all do well.”

Chen Liu nodded, “Exactly. What are you so worried about, mom and dad?”

Lady Ruan slapped her leg after she heard those words, “That is true. I gave birth to him. So what we made him live separately before? He is still my son. There’s nothing he can do to change that. If he disobeys me, then he is unfilial. Then I will go to the judge and accuse him of disobedience.”

Xie Laogen interrupted, displeased, “Shut up. What are you going on about?”

Xie Lan smiled and said to Lady Ruan, “Mom, why don’t we ask the third brother to move back?”

Lady Ruan nodded, “That’s a good idea.”

She then ordered Xie Laogen, “Go pick up the third this afternoon.”

Xie Laogen sighed, “I’m afraid he won’t want to come back.”

Lady Ruan lowered her gaze, “He wouldn’t dare.”

Xie Laogen thought about it and finally agreed, “Okay, then I will go pick him up this afternoon.”

In the corner of the room, the fourth son, Xie Yunhua’s face dropped.

If his third brother moves back, where will he live once he marries?

Xie Yunhua wasn’t happy with this idea and progressively got more depressed over how his third brother’s legs were going to heal.

At the moment, Lu Jiao had no idea how shameless the Xie family was being. She was currently happily preparing lunch with Lady Tian.

For lunch, she made a whole pot of white rice and several dishes.

Braised deer meat, pig tongue with napa cabbage, braised pig ears, leek with lettuce, and steamed eggs with spring onion.

Lu Jiao wanted to cook more but realized that she didn’t even have enough plates at home to put the food on. On top of that, she only had one pot, which made timing impossible. In the end, she gave up on cooking more.

After she made everything, she remembered something very important.

This morning, she didn’t get a chance to ask Uncle Youcai to make them a table and chairs. So for lunch, the whole family had to eat standing up again.

Lu Jiao helplessly went to tell Xie Yunjin, “We have to eat standing up again today. I will go find Uncle Youcai right after lunch.”

Xie Yunjin knew how busy Lu Jiao was all morning and nodded, “Apologies to your mother and brother.”

Lu Jiao smiled, “It’s no big deal.”

Just then, the Second Born ran inside like a rabbit. While panting heavily, he announced, “Mom, there’s a giant carriage outside our gate. There is a lot of stuff on there.”

Lu Jiao was confused and turned to look out the window. As described, she saw a horse carriage outside the trellis. Two to three young people stepped off the carriage and were now looking around.

Many children surrounded the horse and pointed curiously.

Lu Jiao’s head hurt. Who was it now?

She said to Xie Yunjin, “I’ll go and check to see who it is.”

Why did they come during lunchtime? She didn’t have enough resources to ask them to stay and eat.

She wasn’t cheap. It was just that she didn’t have enough utensils or space. How could she ask the guests to eat standing up?

In front of the trellis, Lady Tian and Lu Gui chatted with the three strangers.

“Who are you?”

The oldest-looking person from the group stepped forward, “We are from town. We are the apprentices of Carpenter Chen. Doctor Qi from Baohe Tang bought some drawers, closets, tables, and chairs from us. He had asked us to deliver everything here. Doctor Qi said that he feels indebted to you, given that you shared many prescriptions with him and therefore ordered these goods to show appreciation.”

Many villagers have now gathered outside Lu Jiao’s gates. Once they heard what they were here for, they started to chitchat.

They weren’t saying anything bad – they merely were surprised at how generous Lu Jiao was. She gave prescriptions to Doctor Qi? She should’ve asked him for money in exchange!

Outside the trellis, Lu Jiao raised an eyebrow. The villagers may not know the whole story, but she did.

Qi Lei did take three prescriptions from her, but he paid for them.

Why did he decide to gift her all this furniture now? Could it be because he thought he underpaid her?

But moments ago, she didn’t see any signs of him feeling bad.

Lu Jiao pondered and quickly realized that Qi Lei appeared very enthusiastic when she revealed that she was a surgeon.

Could it be that he wanted to learn that skill from her? That was why he sent her so many gifts? If he genuinely wanted to learn, then she had no issues teaching him.

That thought made Lu Jiao feel okay with accepting the gifts. She then smiled and responded to the strangers.

“What exactly did he purchase from you?”

The other man from the group handed her a list.

Lu Jiao took a look. Two bed frames plus bed stands. A desk and several boxes for storage. There was also a dining table and several chairs.

Her home did not have a lot of furniture, and this shipment sure made up for most of it. This Doctor Qi was quite observant and considerate.

Lu Jiao had no intention of declining this offer. This stuff was exactly what she needed. Since Qi Lei wanted her to have them, she will accept everything.

“Okay, then come on in and help me move everything.”

“Sure thing.”

The three young men started to unload. Lu Jiao took the list and headed to the living room. Behind her, Lady Tian was worried.

“Jiaojiao, is it okay for you to accept everything? You should ask Yunjin.”

Lu Jiao glanced at Lady Tian and smiled, “Don’t worry. It’s fine.”

Compared to Lady Tian, the four little ones reacted very differently. They were overjoyed at the new objects and watched as everything was being moved.

“We have beds now?”

“We even got a desk.”

“We have a table to eat on now. And chairs!”

“We don’t have to eat while standing up anymore.”

Lu Jiao was happy to find the four little ones happy. She went to the east bedroom and told Xie Yunjin what happened.

Xie Yunjin’s face was cold and his eyes were full of suspicion, “Why would he give us all this stuff?”

Lu Jiao did give him prescriptions, but she was paid for them.

Logically, they were even now.

Ah no, since Doctor Qi was performing the surgery in a couple of days, they should be the ones who were indebted to him. So why was he eager to send gifts over?

Something was wrong.

Xie Yunjin narrowed his eyes and stared at Lu Jiao, “You asked him to buy all this?”

Lu Jiao shook her head.

Xie Yunjin asked again, “Did you make some kind of deal with him?”

Lu Jiao shook her head again. What deal?

Xie Yunjin continued to stare at her. He tried again, slowly, “Are you lying to me?”

Lu Jiao responded in a serious tone, “Why would I lie to you? Growing up, I’ve never lied. When I lie, I blush. When I lie, I get flustered. When I lie, I don’t even dare to look the other person in the eye. Is my face red? Am I flustered? Am I afraid to look you in the eye?”

She was gaping at Xie Yunjin the whole time as she made her speech.

Xie Yunjin laughed in anger.

Now he knew another skill of this woman’s – to lie with her eyes open, to lie without needing a rehearsal, to lie without being flustered.

He knew exactly the type of person she was! She claimed to never lie? What a joke!
