Zhao Lingfeng silently mumbled to himself.

He then turned back to Xie Yunjin with a soft face, “Scholar Xie, help me out. Think of it as I owe you one. If you need anything going forward, speak of it and I’ll lend you a hand.”

Xie Yunjin raised an eyebrow. In the end, he agreed to help.

First of all, Zhao Lingfeng was Lu Jiao’s business partner and if he still disagreed, it would make things awkward for Lu Jiao. Lu Jiao did her part to save his face and he had to respond to that.

Second of all, Zhao Lingfeng was from the official residence of the marquees of Yongning. Though he was only the son of a concubine, he must have networks in the Capital City. In the future, Xie Yunjin may actually need his help. The more people he knew, the more paths he would be able to take.

Xie Yunjin turned back to Lu Jiao to discuss, “Then, we let her stay?”

Lu Jiao didn’t care. It didn’t matter who stayed. She was going to correct those who do wrong.

“Sure.”

Xie Yunjin immediately turned to Zhao Yuluo and warned her, “You can stay. However, you are not allowed to cry endlessly.”

Zhao Yuluo pouted and ignored Xie Yunjin. She ran to Lu Jiao and grabbed her hands, “Aunty Lu, I listen to you.”

This girly was calculative. She knew to get on Lu Jiao’s good side.

Lu Jiao thought of her sad ending and pitied her. She patted her head, “You have to be reasonable with the things you do. If you are unreasonable, I will still get mad. You should be a good kid who considers others.”

Zhao Yuluo blinked her huge eyes and nodded, “Aunty, I got it.”

Her eyes scanned around and then she pointed at the four little ones, “Aunty

Lu, if the little brothers do something wrong, do you punish them?”

“Of course. No matter who it is, I punish them if they do something wrong.”

Zhao Yuluo grinned. So everyone was being treated as equals! That was good. She must keep an eye on that troublemaker to make sure he isn’t doing something wrong. Hmmph, once he does something wrong, she’ll ask aunty to punish him!

Zhao Yuluo threateningly stared at the Second Born, who understood the message right away. He hissed and turned his back towards her.

Classmate Han saw that owner Zhao got to stay and he grew hopeful. He stared at Xie Yunjin and tried again, “Yunjin, since owner Zhao’s daughter can stay, can my two sons-”

Xie Yunjin rejected him right away, “They cannot.”

The two of them were already rotten on the inside and were calling people disrespectful names. Honestly, if they cursed at him, he might be able to forgive them. It was Lu Jiao they cursed at though. He couldn’t accept that.

Classmate Han’s expression was a pained one, it didn’t make Xie Yunjin feel good. Classmate Han was his friend and he helped out the family so much. Xie Yunjin didn’t enjoy rejecting him. However, Du Lanzhu had first personally cursed Lu Jiao, then hired someone to hurt her, and now, her sons were out here shouting nonsense.

Xie Yunjin couldn’t accept these two kids.

On the other side of the room, Lu Jiao studied Xie Yunjin. She knew that if Xie Yunjin rejected classmate Han, it would create distance between them and they may not be as good friends as before.

Lu Jiao thought of the book. Classmate Han should be supporting Xie Yunjin throughout the story. She didn’t want her arrival to ruin their relationship.

Lu Jiao said to classmate Han, “Classmate Han, they can stay. However, they have formed a lot of bad habits. If you want them to change, they might have to go through some pain. Are you going to be okay with that?”

Classmate Han was originally hopeless. He didn’t expect Lu Jiao to speak up.

Classmate Han quickly said to Lu Jiao, “As long as you teach them, you can hit them or scold them. I won’t complain once. I truly just want my children to change for the better.”

Lu Jiao nodded, “If that’s the case, then drop them off tomorrow morning.”

Xie Yunjin called out then, “Lu Jiao…”

Classmate Han pulled his sons away so he didn’t have to hear what Xie Yunjin wanted to say. He walked away quickly and said, “Then, I’ll drop them off tomorrow early morning. ”

By the time Xie Yunjin turned around, the father and sons were gone.

Xie Yunjin was speechless. He looked back at Lu Jiao. He knew that Lu Jiao agreed to this because she didn’t want his relationship with classmate Han to crumble.

Xie Yunjin grabbed Lu Jiao’s hands, “Thank you.”

Before Lu Jiao could speak, Zhao Lingfeng dry coughed, “You have guests.

Watch yourselves.”

Lu Jiao felt uncomfortable because of those words and pulled back her hands. Xie Yunjin opened his mouth unhappily, “Owner Zhao, you aren’t leaving yet?”

Zhao Lingfeng smiled at them and said, “I stayed to ask you whether or not you would want to hire a teacher for the children. Before, I hired two teachers for

Yuluo. If you need teachers, I can ask them to help out here for the time being.

Whatever you say, Lady Lu.”

His suggestion pleased Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao.

Xie Yunjin bluntly said, “You pay for the teachers.”

Zhao Lingfeng glared at Xie Yunjin, “How cheap of you. Sure, I will pay then. After all, I paid for them for my daughter.”

Lu Jiao’s next question was, “What are the teachers like? Are they corrupted? Are they open-minded?”

Lu Jiao was worried that the teachers would not like her study plans for the children.

Zhao Lingfeng laughed, “Honestly, the teachers are fun. They’re not the political type. I specifically looked for people who weren’t greedy.”

“That’s good then. You can ask them to come tomorrow. They can live here and teach the children.”

“Okay.”

Zhao Lingfeng didn’t stay and tried to leave with Zhao Yuluo.

Zhao Yuluo didn’t want to leave, “I’m not leaving!”

Zhao Lingfeng coaxed, “You can come back tomorrow morning. Let’s go get you some new shoes and new clothes. Ah, didn’t you want to bring gifts for the four little brothers? We’ll buy those today and bring them tomorrow.”

Zhao Yuluo finally stopped fighting her old man.

Inside the living room, Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao waved for the four little ones to come closer.

The four little ones were obviously unhappy. They pouted like ducks and they frowned so deeply.

Xie Yunjin knew that the boys didn’t want the two Han boys to come tomorrow.

Xie Yunjin grabbed the First Born’s hand and taught them, “Do you know why I agreed to let the two boys come over tomorrow?”

The four little ones shook their heads. Xie Yunjin warmly explained, “It’s because their dad is my good friend. When I was going through a hard time, their dad helped me out a lot. When I was bedridden, uncle Han visited me frequently, didn’t he? As people, we need to be grateful and repay those who have been kind to us..”
