Chapter 236: 240

240 Lu Jiao’s Name on the Deed

Lu Jiao nodded and smiled, “Then, please help me find some craftsmen. I’m looking for craftsmen who can work with wood and some who can work with mud tiles.”

Classmate Han was more and more intrigued, “It sounds like you have some major changes in mind. Sounds good, I will bring some people as soon as possible.”

The two of them were having a great conversation and appeared to have forgotten about Xie Yunjin. Xie Yunjin’s mood became worse and worse and he started to stare at Classmate Han with his eyes dark. Classmate Han didn’t even notice and continued the conversation cheerfully, “The more I hear about this, the more confident I am that the children will love this. I’ll bring some people as early as tomorrow.”

Lu Jiao noticed that the guy beside her had a change in demeanor. Subconsciously, she looked up at him and found Xie Yunjin staring at Classmate Han with much unfriendliness. When he saw her looking over, however, he smiled warmly at her.

Lu Jiao’s lips twitched. When did this guy learn to change his face so quickly?

Xie Yunjin almost sneered at Classmate Han, “I keep on asking you for things lately and I must be taking time away from your studies. I need to stop that. Starting tomorrow, you should stop coming over. Settle down and study.”

Classmate Han had no idea that Xie Yunjin was jealous. He figured that Xie Yunjin was just worried about his academic achievement. He beamed and said, “Now that you’ve arrived, I can stop worrying. If I have any questions that I cannot solve, I will ask for your help.”

Xie Yunjin’s eyes dropped and he said softly, “Okay, go home and study. You’re procrastinating. It’s already August and your prefectural level exam is next month.”

Classmate Han shook his head, “That won’t do. I have already ordered some dishes from a restaurant nearby. It’s noon so let’s eat first. I will go home afterward.”

Just then, Classmate Han’s busboy dashed over, “Young master, the food is here.”

Classmate Han grinned at Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao, “See, the food is here already. Let’s hurry and have lunch.”

Just then, Lu Gui brought the four little ones over.

The children were dancing with joy, “Mommy, this place is big.”

The First Born was good at controlling his emotions and habitually understated his feelings.

The Second Born, however, had no such rule for himself. He exclaimed cheerfully, “Mommy, out there on the south side, there’s a gymnasium. It’s huge! Inside, there are swords, knives, and bows. Everything’s there! I want to learn it all.”

Classmate Han chuckled, “You enjoy learning martial arts?”

The Second Born puffed out his chest, “Naturally. I’m going to learn martial arts well and become a general! I am going to protect my mother and father in the future.”

The Third Born chimed in then, “I want to learn medicine from mommy and be a miraculous doctor like her.”

The Fourth Born’s heart-shaped eyes dazzled with light. He excitedly announced, “I’m going to make money. I’m going to make so much money so that I can buy my mommy new clothes and silver bracelets.”

Classmate Han was so touched as he stared at the four little ones. These kids were obedient and more than that, they had dreams. His two sons were so different from these boys. All they did was eat, drink, play, cry, and make a scene. They also made no effort to learn anything.

It appeared it was necessary for his kids to spend some time with the four little ones. Maybe they could learn some stuff from the four little ones.

Lu Jiao patted the children’s heads, “You’re all such good boys! Are you hungry? Let’s go eat.”

“Okay, mommy.”

The four little ones headed to the main hall. There, Classmate Han’s servants had already placed the food on the table. Since they ordered from a restaurant, there was a variety of good-looking and delicious food.

The family traveled far from the Xie Village all morning and was now hungry. After they saw the food, they sat down quickly to start to eat.

As Lu Gui ate, he chuckled like an idiot. He had always said that his sister was such a lucky person. See! Here she was, living in such a large and beautiful place. And he himself was able to enjoy it with her.

The four little ones saw that their uncle was only picking away at his plain rice like a fool, and they quickly used the common chopstick to get him some side dishes.

Lu Jiao was speechless as she stared at her idiotic brother. This man was so dumb yet he still planned on becoming a steward? He wouldn’t even know if someone sold him to a human trafficker. Being a steward was not an easy job.

Lu Jiao then said to the four little ones, “After lunch, go to the back courtyard to organize your rooms. This time, you’ll get your own room. I’m going to put two beds in that room so that you can share the bed in pairs. Are you okay with that?”

The four little ones nodded. Now, they were certain that their mommy was going to start sleeping with their daddy. The four little ones smiled happily, “Sure, mommy.”

“Then, we can go set up your room together later. Whatever more things you want, we can go buy them together.”

“Okay, mommy.”

The four little ones happily ate their food. Once they were all done, Lu Jiao didn’t even need to clean up. The busboy Classmate Han brought cleaned up the dishes and brought the empty plates back to the restaurant.

Lu Jiao took out a banknote worth 1,200 taels of silver and gave it to Classmate Han. Classmate Han didn’t even look at it before he put it away. He then asked Lu Jiao, “How about we visit the county office to transfer the house title this afternoon?”

Lu Jiao nodded. However, she remembered that she promised the children to set up their rooms later. Therefore, she said to Xie Yunjin, “How about you go with Classmate Han? I want to set up the children’s room with them later.”

Xie YUnjin agreed. Lu Jiao and the children went to the back courtyard.

As Xie Yunjin and Classmate Han walked away, Xie Yunjin asked, “About the money I’ve been keeping at your place, can you total it and give me the balance next time?”

Xie Yunjin then paused for a short while before he added, “Also, about the business you asked me to do with you. I’ll do it.”

There was no rule that stated that officials were banned from having their own businesses. Therefore, most government officials ran side businesses. It was fine as long as they did not break any laws.

Before, Classmate Han had suggested multiple times to Xie Yunjin that they should start a business together. Every time, however, Xie Yunjin declined.

The fact that Xie Yunjin was agreeing to it today made Classmate Han ecstatic.

“That’s great! Let me think it through and decide what we should do.”

Xie Yunjin said, “I have an idea. I will write something up for you to read.”

“Okay.”

The two of them then got back on the horse carriage so they could visit the county government and get the property’s title transferred.

At the government’s office, Classmate Han was somewhat in shock because, on the title deed, Xie Yunjin wrote Lu Jiao’s name. Normally, the family left the husband’s name, yet Xie Yunjin left Lu Jiao’s name.

“Honorable.”

Classmate Han gave Xie Yunjin a thumbs up, who glared at him in response, “The house was bought with the money Lu Jiao earned. It’s only right to leave her name on the deed.”
