First Assistant's Petite Wife Has Space-Chapter 20

The Four Little Ones Made Lu Jiao Empty Promises

Xie Yunjin’s gaze fixated on Lu Jiao and refused to let any changes in her expression slip by. This woman looked the same as usual. However, the way she handled everything was not at all the same as before.

If it weren’t for this face of hers, he was certain that this was not the same woman. But the face on her looked the same as ever. Was there a second person in this world who looked like that?

Lu Jiao saw how Xie Yunjin stared at her. This man must suspect that she wasn’t the same person as before. After all, their personalities were so different.

Lu Jiao didn’t want to explain to him so she simply sneered, “When have you ever cared about me? Don’t act as if you know me better than everyone else. I have always been like this. Before, I lost myself and acted crazy. I’m awake now.”

She then glared at Xie Yunjin before she left.

Behind her, Xie Yunjin stared at her silhouette and discovered that even the way she walked was different. Before, despite her roughness and ruthlessness, she was insecure and acted very fidgety and scared.

But now, confidence exuded out of her pores. Everything she did was kind and cheery in nature.

Xie Yunjin couldn’t figure out how someone could change so drastically.

Outside the room, Lu Jiao didn’t think twice about Xie Yunjin’s suspicions. Right now, she just needed to feed them good food and good drinks. When the right time comes, she will perform surgery on Xie Yunjin. Once he is healed, they will no longer cross paths. What was the point of thinking too much?

Lu Jiao went into the yard and found Xie Hu had shaved down the boar. Since the boar was dead, there wasn’t much blood to drain. He only needed to shave it and then cut open its belly.

Xie Xiaobao excitedly circled the boar while he chatted with the four little ones. This was because Lu Jiao had just helped Xie Xiaobao get out the fish bone in his throat.

So, Xie Xiaobao was very keen to take care of the quadruplets and talked to them non-stop.

Lu Jiao was very happy to see that. The four little ones stayed home all day and never left the gates. That wasn’t ideal.

With Xie Xiaobao taking the lead, he could bring them into the village to play later.

Lu Jiao then called out to the four little ones for breakfast, “First, Second, Third, and Fourth Born, it’s time to eat breakfast.”

The four little ones were reluctant to leave. However, they didn’t dare to defy Lu Jiao’s orders so they hesitantly went to the kitchen for food.

Lu Jiao found this funny, “You can come out and watch after you eat. It’s not like I’m not letting you look.”

The four little ones’ eyes brightened. They rushed into the kitchen to eat their breakfast. By the time Lu Jiao entered, the four of them had drank half their porridge.

However, nobody touched the eggs that were placed in the middle of the table. Lu Jiao took the eggs to peel and then placed four peeled ones into the bowl.

“After the cornmeal, each one of you should eat an egg.”

The four little ones were stunned and stared at Lu Jiao in shock. The eggs were for them?

Though the last few days they’ve eaten well, without Lu Jiao’s orders, they didn’t dare to peel the eggs to eat. They were certain that the evil woman boiled the eggs for herself to eat.

They didn’t expect that the eggs were for them. Plus, who knew that the evil woman would peel the eggs for them?

The four little ones gawked at the white eggs and then carefully looked up to Lu Jiao. She didn’t appear as evil as she used to be.

Lu Jiao ignored their thoughts and patted their heads. With a gentle voice, she said, “Once we get more money, all of you can eat an egg every morning.”

The First Born heard Lu Jiao’s words and raised his head to speak loudly, “We will not eat the eggs. Sell the eggs and buy daddy medicine.”

Then, his dad would be cured.

Lu Jiao’s heart felt so sour. These boney kids who looked like baby chickens were more worried about their dad’s injuries.

These children have big hearts. Lu Jiao couldn’t understand how these children would end up as villains who commit all sorts of evil.

Lu Jiao thought about it and continued to speak gently, “As you can see, I can hunt. From now on, our family no longer lacks the money. We have enough to buy your daddy medicine. So you need to stop worrying and eat whatever you are given.”

The four little ones quickly looked up to her, “If you can help cure dad, we will let you hit us in the future.”

“Even if you hit us, we won’t curse at you.”

“That’s right. We will be good and listen to you.”

“When we grow up, we will also take care of you.”

Lu Jiao found this hilarious. Were these all empty promises? Their brains sure were sharp.

“Enough now. Didn’t you want to watch the boar get shaved? You can go and watch once you’re done eating.”

The four fellas instantly forgot how they made Lu Jiao empty promises. With a super speed, they finished their porridge and eggs. As they ate, they wondered. This evil woman is no longer evil Should they call her “mom” if she continues to be nice?

They didn’t have time to think too much before a loud shout outside interrupted their thoughts, “I’m opening up the belly! Opening up the belly!”

The four little ones hurriedly finished breakfast and dashed outside.

Behind them, Lu Jiao sat down to eat. After she ate her cornmeal and egg, she washed the dishes. She scooped out some more food to take to the east bedroom and feed Xie Yunjin.

“I made cornmeal porridge and egg for breakfast. Today, I’ll go into town to sell the ganoderma. With the money, I’ll buy some rice and flour. You and the babies aren’t healthy enough to only eat cornmeal. It doesn’t have much nutrition.”

Lu Jiao then started to peel the egg. Xie Yunjin remained on his bed and squinted his eyes at her. She acted at ease and confident. The person was still the same but inside that body, she didn’t appear to be that person anymore.

Xin Yunjin narrowed his eyes subconsciously. Just who was she? Her appearance was the same as before but everything else appeared to be different.

Lu Jiao ignored Xie Yunjin. No matter how wild his thoughts were, there was no way he would think that she was transmigrated here.

At the most, he suspected that she had devious intentions. So she didn’t care what he thought of her.

After she fed him the cornmeal and egg, Lu Jiao offered kindly, “If you need anything, just call for me.”

Xie Yunjin softly agreed, “Okay.”

Lu Jiao left with the dirty dishes. However, before she could get out of the room, she heard a thin voice call to her, “Third sister-in-law? Are you here?”

Lu Jiao recognized this voice to be Xie Yunjin’s sister, Xie Lan. That woman was just as mean as her mother. In the past, Xie Yunjin treated her extremely nicely. However, ever since Xie Yunjin was wounded, Xie Lan never came to visit.

For her to visit now meant she had selfish intentions.

Lu Jiao faked a smile and glanced at Xie Yunjin. In the past, Xie Yunjin treated his sister way better than he treated the original host.

Xie Yunjin’s brows were heavy as coldness exuded off him. 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶

Lu Jiao shouted towards the door, “Come in.”

Outside, Xie Lan pursed her lips. She wasn’t too willing to go inside. The third brother was paralyzed, which meant his room must be dirty and smelly. Should she go in?

But if she didn’t go in, how could she tell her third sister-in-law to give them the boar’s hindlegs? The thought of pork made Xie Lan salivate. It’s been a long time since she had pork.

With that as her motivation, Xie Lan didn’t think further about the mess and the scent. 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

She lifted her leg to go into the east bedroom. Once she was there, she found Xie Yunjin’s cold stare. Xie Lan found this version of her third brother to be a little unfamiliar. However, she remembered that Xie Yunjin was paralyzed and figured it was normal for him to behave this way.
