Translator: CokeZero Editor: Rainystars

Outside, in the living room, Lu Jiao could hear the four little ones cry. She felt really bad and came in with her bowl.

“Enough now, what are you crying for? We are not going back. If your daddy dares to go back, I will stay here with you four and split from him.”

The four little ones stopped crying and stared at her, “Really?”

Lu Jiao nodded, “Yes, really.”

The four little ones finally stopped crying.

Xie Yunjin wasn’t happy with Lu Jiao and glanced at her coldly, “Did I say I was going back?”

Lu Jiao ignored him and only paid attention to the four little ones, “Did you hear that? Your daddy isn’t going back either. We will stay here as a family.”

The four little ones sighed in relief and then went to hug their daddy happily.

“Daddy, you’re the best.”

The Fourth Born went to kiss his cheek.

The Second and Third Born quickly copied him and kissed their dad’s cheek.

The First Born hesitated but ended up planting a kiss too.

Xie Yunjin, with much saliva on his face, looked up to Lu Jiao. They must’ve learned this from her.

Though the four little ones were close to him, they’ve never kissed him.

Lu Jiao raised an eyebrow and beamed brightly at him. Those kisses must’ve delighted him.

She then left the room. The four little ones followed.

Both their parents agreed to not go back. That was great news.

Xie Erzhu watched this and realized that there was no way his third brother would go back.

He asked, “Third brother, since you don’t want to go back, you should think about how you can break that news to mom.”

Though their parents were awful, it was unacceptable for a son to disobey their parents’ orders. Now that his brother’s legs were going to heal, he had to be even more careful with maintaining his reputation in this village.

“There’s no need to worry second brother.”

Xie Erzhu stood up to leave. Before he left, he said, “Third brother, let me know when your surgery is. I will accompany you into town.”

“Okay.”

Lu Jiao came in to take away the dirty bowls and asked, “Second brother, do you want water?”

Xie Erzhu shook his head, “It’s alright. I’m going back now.”

Lu Jiao didn’t try to keep him and left.

In the afternoon, many different families came to visit Xie Yunjin, including the Village Leader and the Clan Leader.

Lu Jiao made them tea, greeted them, then went to make clothes for the four little ones in the west bedroom.

Many of the wives saw what Lu Jiao was doing and ended up helping. Because of that, the clothes for the babies were quickly made.

Lu Jiao made two sets of clothes for the quadruplets. One round neck and straight, and one collared robe.

The four little ones knew these were made for them and were thrilled. They watched closely as the clothes were being made.

Growing up, they have yet to receive any new clothes, making all this so much more exciting.

Since so many people offered to help, Lu Jiao didn’t contribute much. Honestly, it was because she wasn’t good at sewing.

She used the time to make hair bands for the four little ones so she could put their hair up.

Young boys living in the rural area typically have their heads mostly shaved with only two strands of hair on each side that were put up in two buns.

Some boys only keep a strand of hair in the middle and put it in a ponytail.

Some others shave the sides and only keep some bangs in the front.

The four little ones used to have their hair mostly shaved and two buns up top. However, over the last year, nobody cut their hair so they now had soft and somewhat yellow hair.

Lu Jiao didn’t want to shave their heads. She wanted to put them up in two knots. It was cuter that way.

She never told the boys that she would shave them. However, the four children were worried, especially the Third Born.

He touched his own hair and carefully went up to Lu Jiao. He grabbed her hand and whispered, “Mommy, I don’t want to be bald.”

He thought he looked better with his hair. His daddy had a head full of hair and he looked great.

All the other children in the village, like Daotou and Maomao, were all shaved with only a tiny ponytail on top. How ugly!

Lu Jiao found this funny. She discovered that out of the four children, the Third Born cared the most about his appearance. Though his clothes were old, he always made sure to tiptoe and check out his own reflection whenever possible. He also knew to brush out the tangles in his hair.

“Okay, you beauty king.”

The Third Born happily walked away.

Inside the room, Lady Zhao asked with a smile, “What are you two whispering about?”

The Third Born ran back to Lu Jiao and covered her mouth with his hands, “Mommy, don’t tell!”

Everyone in the room laughed, “He already knows to be secretive with his mom at such a young age!”

Lu Jiao smiled and patted his head, “I got it. I won’t tell. It’s our little secret.”

The Third Born happily nodded. The Fourth Born rushed over and whispered, “Mommy, I want to have a secret with you too.”

Lu Jiao couldn’t help but giggle, “Okay, what’s your secret?”

The Fourth Born didn’t know. However quickly, he thought of something and leaned into Lu Jiao’s ears, “Mommy, let me tell you, last time, I peed the bed.”

His face then turned bright red. He quickly added, “Mommy, don’t tell people.”

Lu Jiao laughed loudly and nodded, “Ok, I won’t tell.”

All the villagers saw how smart the four little ones were and praised them profusely.

While everyone here chatted and made clothes for the children, the Village and Clan Leaders were having a conversation with Xie Yunjin.

Just as everyone here enjoyed the moment, another group of people arrived outside the gate.

Xie Laogen, Lady Ruan, and their children all came to visit. Even Xie Erzhu was called to be here.

Xie Laogen felt a little uncomfortable. Lady Ruan however, acted like it was her right and led everyone through the door. Her eldest daughter-in-law, Chen Liu, noticed the lack of greeting from Lu Jiao and got angry. She said to lady Ruan.

“Mother, does the third sister-in-law not welcome us?”

Her mention of this infuriated Lady Ruan. She remembered how Lu Jiao and Lady Tian embarrassed her and dragged her out.

Lady Ruan’s face was heavy as she frowned.

Her youngest daughter, Xie Lan, recalled the time when she failed to get any of the gifts Xie Yunjin’s classmates gave. That memory made her hate Lu Jiao.

She said to Lady Ruan, “Mom if Lu Jiao is already behaving like this, can you imagine what will happen when my brother gets a job? She will power trip even more and flat out ignore us.”

Lady Ruan’s expression got uglier. She gritted her teeth, “She doesn’t dare!”

Though she was saying the words, she knew that that b!tch had the guts to do so.

For all these reasons, that woman should not be kept in the family. There was no way she was going to let that happen. The rewards her son reaps should be shared with her – not with other women. Why should that fat b!tch enjoy the fruit of her son’s hard work? Only in her dreams!

Lady Ruan started to plot how she could get rid of Lu Jiao.

There were so many people here so it was quite loud. Lu Jiao raised her head and saw them through the window, her gaze dimmed.

She got up to greet the group.

“Mom, dad, you’re here.”

Lu Jiao faked a smile.
