Chapter 210: 209

209 Profit Sharing

The three little ones stared at Xie Yunjin with their eyes red. Xie Yunjin inhaled deeply and finally promised, “I will do my best to like your mother. However, if I still do not like your mom after some time, you can’t blame me.”

The three little ones smiled happily and chose to ignore the second part of his comment.

Just then, Lu Jiao walked in, “Come out and eat.”

Xie Yunjin glared at her angrily and meaningfully stated, “In the future, you should deal with this kind of stuff.”

She had to tell the children that the reason she was leaving was that he didn’t like her. That made Xie Yunjin responsible for this ordeal. If it were up to him, he would throw her under the bus and tell the children she insisted on leaving.

Lu Jiao knew what he was referring to right away and felt somehow guilty. Quickly, she glanced at the children, “Come and eat.”

She then smiled at Xie Yunjin, “You too.”

After Xie Yunjin thought about it for a night, he was now calm. Since Lu Jiao was determined to separate, he will grant her that freedom.

“Sure.”

The three children had taken this time to murmur to the Fourth Born about the conversation they just had. Their daddy had promised to try and like their mommy.

The Fourth Born’s mood lifted. The four children were now confident that they had resolved the problem and they were now in a great mood.

The family sat together and ate breakfast.

Since Xie Yunjin was not in the mood yesterday, he took another day off from teaching the village children how to read. Today, he was going to restart those lessons.

Lu Jiao cleaned up after everyone was done and took some time to clean up the house with the four little ones.

Just then, Baohe Tang’s horse carriage arrived. Manager Li rushed out and said to Lu Jiao, “Lady Lu, we accepted a patient this morning that may need your consultation.”

Lu Jiao nodded and went to tell Xie Yunjin and the four little ones, “Baohe Tang accepted a very sick patient. I need to go and take a look.”

The four little ones became worried and started to shout, “Mommy, we will go with you.”

This time, Xie Yunjin didn’t ask to go with Lu Jiao. He was in no position to offer.

Though they were technically still married, Lu Jiao had made it clear to him that she wanted to behave as if they were already separated.

Xie Yunjin pursed his lips subconsciously and his face grew cold.

Lu Jiao didn’t even look at him and only spoke to the four little ones, “I’m going to treat a patient. I’m not going to have fun. I will bring you next time I go into town for fun.”

The four little ones were quiet. Lu Jiao patted their heads then turned to Xie Yunjin, “Keep an eye on them. I don’t know if I will return by noon. If I don’t, you can ask Chunyan to cook you something.”

She then remembered that Xie Yunjin didn’t like to speak to women from the village and added, “Do you want me to ask Chunyan?”

Xie Yunjin was expressionless, “Don’t worry. I can deal with this kind of stuff.”

After she left for good, the five of them would still need to eat.

Lu Jiao also thought of that and didn’t say anything more before she left.

The four little ones watched her go and strangely, their eyes turned red as they felt the urge to cry.

Xie Yunjin saw this and comforted, “Your mom is going to treat the sick. It’s not that she doesn’t want you there. If she was going to do anything else, she would’ve brought you.”

The First Born pressed his lips together before he finally admitted, “It’s not that we want to go play. We are just worried that mommy isn’t going to come back.”

Now that those words were spoken, tears started to roll down the children’s cheeks. The other three asked Xie Yunjin, “Daddy, do you think mommy is not coming back?”

Xie Yunjin’s heart ached to see his children like this. However, he still did his best to comfort them, “No way. Your mom has always done as she promised. She would never leave you behind without a word.”

The four little ones thought about it. That was true. Their mommy had always fulfilled her promises. Before, she had vowed to give their daddy a chance to like her.

The four little ones turned to stare at Xie Yunjin in unison.

“Daddy, let me tell you, my mommy loves it when people compliment her. You should compliment her whenever you have free time.”

The Second Born quickly shared some ideas, “You can say things like, ‘you have such a pretty face. Your cheeks are chubby and cute like a piglet.”

Xie Yunjin ogled at him with a frown. Why was his second son so obsessed with piglets? Every time his second son talked about his mother, he compared her to a piglet. If Xie Yunjin took his advice and said those words, Lu Jiao would stomp him to death.

The Third Born added, “Daddy, you should tell mommy that she is very capable and is the best doctor in the world. I’ve heard others call her a ‘miracle doctor’ and mommy smiled so big her eyes disappeared.”

The Fourth Born said, “Daddy, you should put flowers in mommy’s hair and buy her new clothes to wear. Ah, yes, buy her good food too.”

As he spoke, he became worried and gawked at Xie Yunjin, “Daddy, do you have money?”

If he didn’t, he would have to make money first. Or else he wouldn’t be able to buy mommy flowers and new clothes.

Xie Yunjin studied the children who were worried sick about him. His heart felt both sweet and sour — the thought of how determined Lu Jiao was to leave stung.

Oh well, since that woman wanted to leave, why should he overthink it? He would have to spend his future days with the four little ones.

Xie Yunjin said to the children, “I’m going to teach you in a bit. Hurry and get your books.”

The four little ones temporarily forgot about the matter with Lu Jiao and went to get the books for everyone before the lesson started.

Inside Baohe Tang’s horse carriage, Lu Jiao asked Manager Li, “What symptoms is the patient exhibiting?”

Manager Li smiled and shook his head, “Lady Lu, there’s no critical patient today.”

Lu Jiao was in awe, “Then why are you taking me to Baohe Tang in such a rush?”

Manager Li explained, “The owner did as you instructed and sold ice in the Capital City. He made some money and wants to share the profit. He also wants to discuss the other business ideas you had.”

Lu Jiao’s eyes lit up right away and she grinned.

This surprised Manager Li. It appeared that the owner was right.

The owner said that when Lady Lu found out there was actually no patient, she would get mad. However, the moment profit sharing is mentioned, Lady Lu’s anger would turn to joy.

Though the owner and Lady Lu haven’t interacted much, he seemed to understand her well.

Manager Li studied Lu Jiao a little and discovered that she had lost a sizable amount of weight. Compared to their first meeting, it was like sky and earth. Now, though her cheeks were still chubby, she was no longer considered fat, instead, she was curvy.

She was a beautiful person with smooth skin who acted with optimism and confidence. The aura she gave was colorful like a blooming flower.

Manager Li couldn’t help but exclaim over how this capable and beautiful woman ended up married to Scholar Xie. If she was still single, she could marry the owner and be the wife of a young master.
