Chapter 227: 226

226 Hurry and take her Home

Xie Yunjin left the kitchen. Outside in the yard, the four little ones ran to him, “Daddy, someone else came to visit!”

Xie Yunjin looked outside and saw two to three people approaching. It was Xie Yunjin’s uncle, aunt, and one of his older cousins.

Once they entered the yard, they greeted, “Yunjin, your legs are working again?”

Xie Yunjin didn’t show much emotion toward the visitors. The Ruan family members were similar to Lady Ruan – impatient, small-hearted, and greedy.

In the past, Lady Ruan frequently stole money to aid this younger brother of hers. Who knows what his intention was for coming over here today?

Xie Yunjin gestured for his aunt and uncle to go into the living room.

Lu Jiao pretended not to notice and continued to clean the kitchen.

The lack of attention from Lu Jiao made the uncle and aunt frown.

Since they had an agenda, they didn’t unleash their anger and followed Xie Yunjin into the room.

The moment they all sat down, they started to cry.

“Yunjin, go and visit your mother, hurry. Ever since she came back, she’s been refusing to eat or drink. She’s been waiting for her death. She keeps on talking about how she’s sorry for treating you the way she did. She says the memories of how she treated you make her want to die. We came here today to ask you to please take your mother back home.”

“My aunt says she will treat you nicely and will never be unkind towards you again.”

Xie Yunjin’s lips curled up. So this entire family was here to ask him to take back Lady Ruan. He was no idiot. Why would he do that?

That mother of his was still dreaming wildly. She truly was overthinking this. If he wanted her here, he would’ve rebutted against the divorce.

Xie Yunjin glanced at his aunt and uncle, “Theoretically, your family is no longer related to my family in any way. This means you are no longer my aunt and uncle.”

His aunt and uncle’s faces dropped.

Xie Yunjin ignored that and continued, “My father left my mother. Her only identity now is the daughter of the Ruan family, not the wife of the Xie family. For her to live with me here makes no sense.”

Xie Yunjin kept his gaze on his aunt and uncle.

The duo was stunned by the coldness he emitted and remained quiet for some time. Finally, the cousin spoke up, “Cousin, you’re incorrect. Even if my aunt is kicked out, she remains your mother. Nothing can change that.”

Xie Yunjin stared at his cousin with his eyes dark, “Cousin, you need to be careful with your choice of words. I call her my ‘mother’ because I try to remain filial. Technically, the moment the Xie family decided to kick her out, she was no longer my mother. If you don’t understand these concepts, you should ask your parents to teach you.”

His aunt and uncle were silent. He was right, that was how it worked. Women who were asked to leave were no longer tied to their ex-husband’s family. She would not be considered a wife or a mother. The children she bore would no longer be considered her children.

Today, they came over thinking that they could make Xie Yunjin accept Lady Ruan given their biological ties and their past.

It was no big deal that Xie Laogen left Lady Ruan. But Xie Yunjin as a son would prove to be extremely useful. There was no way she should give him up.

If Lady Ruan could stay with Xie Yunjin. Then once Xie Yunjin makes it big, even his aunt and uncle would benefit from his status.

Sadly, Xie Yunjin’s attitude has shown that he wasn’t willing to accept Lady Ruan.

The aunt and uncle silently cursed Lady Ruan’s past moronic behavior. Why didn’t she favor the one son who would end up useful to them?

They tried again, “Yunjin, your mother did give birth and raise you. Even if she was kicked out by Xie Laogen, you cannot change the fact that she gave birth to you. You cannot deny her as your mother.”

Xie Yunjin replied unhurriedly, “That’s not what I’m doing. This is the Xie family. She’s a woman whom my father chose to leave. Taking her back would be slapping my father in the face and I would be seen as an unfilial son. Uncle, do you really think I would do something so unfilial?”

He gave no chance for his aunt and uncle to talk more, “She is my mother. That fact cannot be changed. I ask you two to please take care of my mother. I will send you 10 taels of silver each year.”

Anything that could be handled with money was no trouble. By giving the Ruan family 10 taels of silver, he was able to get rid of Lady Ruan while repaying her for raising him. Those who do not know what truly went on would even say he was a great son.

His aunt and uncle’s eyes grew hot as they excitedly gaped at Xie Yunjin, “Are you for real?”

Xie Yunjin nodded, “Please do not treat my mother poorly. If you do that, I will not send you money.”

The entire family quickly vowed, “We would never do that to my little sister.”

“She’s my aunt, who would we treat her poorly? Cousin, you better fulfill your promise.”

Xie Yunjin coldly glared at his cousin, “Am I the kind of person who doesn’t do that?”

The Ruan family was not at all mad. To them, Xie Yunjin was their God of Wealth. They weren’t going to get on his bad side.

Xie Yunjin then got up, “I am busy today so I will not ask you to stay. In the future, I ask that you do not come to this village. After all, my mother has been kicked out and our families are no longer related.”

The Ruan family didn’t look too happy. They honestly blamed Lady Ruan for getting herself into this kind of situation. That woman was seriously stupid. So what Xie Laogen got himself a concubine? So many people in town have concubines. How come they could all deal with it but she couldn’t?

Though angry, it was too late to change anything. The Ruan family left the room.

It just so happened that Lu Jiao, Lu Gui, and the five children were on their way in.

When the aunt and uncle saw Lu Jiao, they glared at her and then complained to Xie Yunjin, “Your wife has no respect for people.”

Lu Jiao rolled her eyes and then took the five children to the west bedroom to nap.

Lu Gui started to clean the living room. Xie Yunjin thanked him, “Thank you, brother-in-law, for all this work.”

Lu Gui stared at him in awe. Why was he getting more and more polite and distant?

Lu Gui scratched his head in confusion.

Xie Yunjin went to the east bedroom to think some things over. He no longer had time to teach the village children so he must compile a list of children who were school material. He’ll ask those children’s parents to send them to school. Every family in this village had made some money. Once leech keeping kicks off, they should have enough income to send their children to study.

He also had to start constructing his home. Once that’s done, he will take Lu Jiao and the four little ones to the city of Qinghe.

Before, he was so filled with hatred and sadness that he was too lazy and depressed to think about making money. That won’t do anymore. He had to seize the time and opportunities he had to make money.

The tutoring job won’t make him rich, but it’ll make him a decent amount of income. To earn 2 taels of silver from each student and an extra 30 taels for those who pass the exam in September was very good income.

Once Xie Yunjin sorted out his thoughts, he headed outside. Lu Jiao, who had just soothed the children to sleep, also walked out at the same time. The two of them exchanged glances then both subconsciously looked away and turned to the side.

Both of them felt like this was awkward and wrong. Neither of them planned on being nemesis after their separation finalizes, so why were they behaving this way?
