Widow Li heard Lady Tian’s cursing and couldn’t help but get angry. She wanted to curse but when she saw Lu Jiao’s cold stare, she was scared off.

She snapped around her head, and she left. Behind her, Luo Wangcai and Shen Xiaoshan didn’t dare to stay.

After the three took a few steps, Lu Jiao shouted from behind, “Stop right there.”

Widow Li Luo Wangcai and Shen Xiaoshan trembled. The three of them looked back.

Widow Li forced herself to ask, “You, what do you want?”

Lu Jiao walked over and stared at her coldly, “If it weren’t for your old age, I wouldn’t forgive you for what you did today. I must warn you once again that if you dare to come here to harass me again, I won’t forgive you.”

Lu Jiao then glared at Luo Wangcai and Shen Xiaoshan. The two of them shook their heads.

“It wasn’t us. We came here because of mother.”

The two men then tried to drag Widow Li out, afraid that she might hit them for saying that.

Outside the trellis, a crowd started to form. They commented angrily, “If your daughter didn’t come home, you should go into town to look for her. Why would you come into someone’s home? What does she owe you?”

“Yunjin’s wife went into town today to discuss Yunjin’s surgery tomorrow. She doesn’t have time to think about your daughter.”

“Maybe Shen Xiu ran away. She didn’t want to marry Luo Wangcai in the first place. She probably looked for an opportunity to run away today.”

“I think she escaped as well. Why else would she disappear?”

The villagers’ words made Widow Li and Luo Wangcai’s faces drop. They started to wonder if Shen Xiu actually ran away. After all, she really wasn’t okay with the marriage.

After she chatted with the crowd a little, Lu Jiao returned to the room to sleep.

Tonight, the four little ones behaved well and didn’t chase her for a story.

“Mommy, go to sleep early. Tomorrow you have to send daddy into town for surgery.”

Lu Jiao smiled, “Okay. You guys go to sleep too.”

The First, Second, and Third Born all went to sleep with Xie Yunjin in the east bedroom. The Fourth Born, Lu Jiao, and Lady Tian slept in the west bedroom.

The next day, a pack of people came to the Xie family yard. At a glance, there were about 40 to 50 people. They were all people from the Xie clan – one per family.

Lu Jiao stared at the group and her head pounded. They were going for surgery today, not going for a fistfight. What was the use of having so many people?

She called the Clan and Village Leaders aside to talk, “There are way too many people. If we go into town, people will think we are going for a fight. That’s a bad look. I think we should bring fewer people.”

The Village and Clan Leaders agreed with her after thinking about it. They discussed and decided to only allow the head of a few families to tag along. Even after that elimination, there ended up being around 20 people.

The Village Leader’s oxcart arrived bright and early. Xie Yunjin on the other hand ate breakfast and was all ready.

Lu Jiao gently voiced, “Don’t worry. Everything will be fine. The surgery will be a success so don’t stress. Being in a good mental state helps with the surgery.”

Xie Yunjin stared at the woman beside him. This woman’s face had slimmed down and her original double chin had shed to only one. Her eyes appear larger now as a result. It became more obvious that she had beautiful eyes.

Xie Yunjin watched her and thought of his Second and Third Born. Those two looked just like this woman. At first, he was confused as
