Chapter 209: 208

208 The Four Babies Teaching their Old Dad

The Fourth Born was far more aggressive with his promise, “If daddy doesn’t like mommy, I will leave with mommy. We will ignore him.”

Before the west bedroom entrance, Xie Yunjin heard their conversation and couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. Was it true that Lu Jiao wanted a separation because he didn’t like her?

Xie Yunjin recalled the time when Lu Jiao asked him if he liked her. At the time, he seemed to have told her to not waste her time thinking about such things. It appeared that he gave the wrong answer.

Xie Yunjin self-reflected outside. Inside, Lu Jiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Just what were they talking about? Oh well, she will have to take this slow.

Lu Jiao looked at the four children and asked, “You must be hungry. I made some ginseng soup with eggs earlier. You all should have some and sweat it out. You’ll feel better tomorrow.”

The four little ones were truly hungry. After they heard what Lu Jiao offered, they happily agreed.

“Mommy, I want to eat that. I’m hungry.”

“I’m also hungry.”

Lu Jiao almost angrily flicked their foreheads, “Don’t you dare to make such a fuss again!”

She then got up to leave and was startled by the person standing by the entrance.

Only upon closer look did she realize it was Xie Yunjin.

Lu Jiao couldn’t help but glare at him. Why was he standing there trying to scare her instead of sleeping in the middle of the night?

Lu Jiao ignored him and went to the kitchen.

Behind her, Xie Yunjin debated but ended up following her. Once they arrived at the kitchen, he couldn’t help but ask, “Are you asking to separate because I don’t like you?”

If that was the case, he figured she shouldn’t worry. He thinks he liked her somewhat.

Lu Jiao abruptly snapped her head around, “Even if you do like me, I wouldn’t stay.”

Without paying any more attention to the now moody Xie Yunjin, she went to fetch the ginseng soup.

Before the kitchen door, Xie Yunjin was now frigid. He watched as Lu Jiao worked. Repeating the words she just threw in his face, his heart seized and tightened.

Xie Yunjin left. Since she was so stubborn about leaving, then she could do whatever she wanted.

No longer in the mood to visit the four little ones, Xie Yunjin went to rest in the east bedroom.

In the kitchen, Lu Jiao originally was going to ask Xie Yunjin if he wanted any food. When she turned around, however, he was already leaving coldly.

Lu Jiao didn’t call out to him. She scooped out soup for the children and went to feed them.

The four little ones each had an egg and drank half a bowl of soup. They then quickly fell asleep, exhausted.

Lu Jiao was also tired and fell asleep as soon as she laid down.

What a day!

The next day, the children seemed to have recovered for the most part. Though they weren’t jumping around endlessly, they were in good spirits.

After the fever shot, soup, and eggs, they sweated through their shirts. In the morning, Lu Jiao boiled water and washed them up. After all the cleaning, the four little ones returned to their normal soft and cute selves.

Many villagers came to visit them. Only after they confirmed that they were safe and sound, did they go home to make breakfast.

Since so many people helped with the search last night, Lu Jiao was very thankful of the villagers. She walked every visitor out and thanked them personally.

The villagers all waved their hands and smiled, “Yunjin’s wife, don’t be so polite. You helped us plenty before.”

“Yeah, no need to be so formal with us.”

After everyone progressively left, the Village Leader’s youngest daughter, Xie Xiaojuan, stayed and asked, “Third aunt, should I help you make breakfast?”

Lu Jiao declined right away, “There’s no need. I can do it myself.”

Xie Xiaojuan recently found herself a soon-to-be husband. Other than harvesting herbs, she had to sew pillowcases amongst other things. Lu Jiao didn’t want to inconvenience her.

Xie Xiaojuan left after a few more exchanges with Lu Jiao, and Lu Jiao went to prepare food.

The four little ones ran to the east bedroom to talk to Xie Yunjin early in the morning. What was their purpose? Their purpose was to teach their daddy how to fall in love with their mommy. They had an amazing mommy, why would their daddy not like her?

The First Born stared at his dad with a confused look, “Daddy, do you truly not like mommy?”

Xie Yunjin pursed his lips and his expression was aloof. That face of his confirmed to the four little ones that he truly was not interested in her.

The children were not happy to find that out. The First Born quickly argued, “But mommy changed for the better. She’s even better looking now. How come you don’t like her?”

The Second Born chimed in as well, “Mommy is chubby like a little piglet. She also knows how to do everything. Why don’t you like her?”

Xie Yunjin couldn’t help but think of Lu Jiao’s face and his expression softened somewhat.

However, the memory of how determined she was last night evaporated that softness. His face turned back to its normal cold and emotionless ways.

The Third Born was now furious and grabbed onto Xie Yunjin, “Daddy, you should like mommy! She’s pretty and cute! Everyone adores mommy. How come you don’t like her?”

The Fourth Born gritted his teeth and vowed, “If you don’t like mommy and choose someone else, I will stop liking you! I’m going to follow mommy.”

The Fourth Born’s words garnered everyone’s attention.

He chickened out a little but since he had already spoken the words, he straightened his back and threw up his fist, “I am telling the truth! The truth!”

He ran away after that remark. Behind him, the First, Second, and Third Born all gazed at Xie Yunjin.

Xie Yunjin frowned and explained, “Children, the thing with ‘like’ is that you cannot control it. Using yourselves, for example, you naturally have some things you like and some things you dislike. Can you control that?”

“For example, First Born, you like puzzles, like reading, but you don’t like sports. You don’t like to use bows and arrows. Can you force yourself to like those things?”

The First Born thought about it and became mute. It was true that he didn’t like exercising or sports. He enjoyed reading and learning quietly. The reason he went tree climbing and arrow shooting was that his mommy taught him that even scholars need to be healthy. That was the only reason.

Xie Yunjin then looked to the Second Born, “Second Born, you like sports, like climbing trees and shooting arrows. You dislike reading and studying. Do you think you would like it if I made you study every day?”

Before the Second Born could say an opinion, Xie Yunjin turned to the Third Born, “Third Born, you like to look handsome and dress up in pretty clothing. If I force you to wear old and torn clothes, would you be happy? Therefore, you cannot control what you like.”

After the lecture, the three little ones started to understand this concept a little more. More than that, the three children now know that their daddy truly didn’t like their mommy.

Their mommy was such a great person. Why didn’t he like her?
