Lu Jiao's lips twitched, "It's okay. I was impatient and said something mean. I angered the children."
The Second Grandma lectured Lu Jiao, "Your children are really good kids. They're obedient and respectful. Don't be too hard on them."
Lady Zhao nodded in agreement. The children's weeping hurt her too.
The other villagers also chimed in a little. They told Lu Jiao to not be too hard on them. They were good kids for their age. If they rounded up, they were four. Their actual age was only three.
Lu Jiao nodded and mentioned she will be more cautious. Only then did everyone leave.
Lu Jiao headed back to the west bedroom and offered to take the children into town.
The four little ones loved to go into town. There were lots of people and things to do there.
This time, Lu Jiao was unsuccessful. The children all sprawled out on the bed and buried their faces into the pillows as they continued to sob.
