First Assistant's Petite Wife Has Space-Chapter 24

Bamboo Copter

Xie Yunjin thought it over carefully and suddenly remembered how Lu Jiao hurt her head until it bled. That day was when she started to behave irregularly. The Lu Jiao today may really not be who she was before.

That possibility garnered much hostility inside Xie Yunjin as his dark eyes reflected with coldness.

Very quickly, however, he recalled that Lu Jiao was not cruel and violent like she was before. On the contrary, she didn’t seem to possess much maliciousness. Towards the quadruplets, she even showed affection and love.

Those thoughts calmed Xie Yunjin down. He relaxed a little but remained guarded. 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶

Even if that person has no poor intentions now, who knows what she’ll be like in the future? He had to be careful. If she remains the way she was, he may consider the possibility of sparing her life.

After Xie Yunjin thought this through, Xie Yunjin closed his eyes to rest up.

Outside, Lu Jiao wasn’t aware of any of this. She took some bamboo and glue and started to make a portable toilet that Xie Yunjin could use in bed.

The quadruplets curiously watched her work.

Since the four little ones were bored, Lu Jiao casually made four bamboo copters.

“Come here. This is a bamboo copter. This is for you to play with.”

The four little ones stared at the bamboo copter in her hand. Lu Jiao spun it between her palms and the copter flew upwards.

The quadruplets’ eyes flickered as they excitedly gawked at the suspending bamboo copter.

“You guys can compete and see who’s bamboo copter flies the highest.”

The four little ones were no longer terrified of Lu Jiao so they took over the toys and started to play around with them. It only took a little while before they all started to laugh

The secluded and lonely yard became lively right away. Lu Jiao kept an eye on them while she made the portable toilet. She also made a list of what she’ll need to buy when she visits the town.

Lu Jiao made a mental list and finished the portal toilet. After she put everything away, the day was still early so she decided to make a visit to the village leader.

Since she made enemies with the Xie family, it would be good for her to befriend the leader.

Lu Jiao packed up a pork hock and one of the wild rabbits she caught yesterday. She covered them with a large cloth.

“I’m going to make a trip to the Village Leader’s home. Do you want to come along?”

Lu Jiao asked the four happily playing children while holding her basket.

The four little ones quickly exchanged glances. The Second, Third, and Fourth Borns hesitated but the First Born shook his head.

“I’m going to keep daddy company.”

The other ones also shook their heads when they heard his response. “We are going to stay with daddy.”

Lu Jiao didn’t persist and walked away with her basket. The Fourth Born took a look at his brothers and then suddenly ran towards Lu Jiao. he then grabbed Lu Jiao’s hand.

In shock, Lu Jiao lowered her head to look at him and found him blinking his large eyes at her.

Lu Jiao grinned, “Are you saying you want to come with me?”

The Fourth Born once again glanced at his brothers before he nodded aggressively to show her that he wanted to go.

Lu Jiao didn’t decline, “Alright, then you can have some fun outside.”

Behind them, the Second and Third Born angrily shouted, “Brother, look at the Fourth Born!”

The First Born peeked at Lu Jiao before he peeked at the Fourth Born. He thought that the woman likely won’t sell the Fourth Born so he nodded, “If he wants to go, then he can go.”

He then said to the Second and Third Born, “If you guys want to go, you can too. I’ll guard daddy.”

The Second and Third Born wavered. They wanted to go outside and play too. However, it wasn’t nice to leave their brother alone.

Lu Jiao ignored the hesitating boys and walked out the gate with the Fourth Born. Behind her, the Second and Third Born were flustered. Without any capacity to think about their brother anymore, they chased after Lu Jiao.

“I, I want to go too.”

“I want to go.”

Lu Jiao turned to look at the Second and Third Born and found much anxiousness in their giant eyes. She saw how their faces looked similar to her own face from her previous life and her heart softened.

In her previous life, she didn’t even have a man, let alone children. To suddenly see children who looked like herself was a strange feeling.

“Okay, come then. After we visit the Village Leader, I’ll need to come back and cook.”

The Second and Third Born giggled but suddenly felt bad that they’d leave their brother behind. They turned back around.

The First Born had already gone into the bedroom. So the Second and Third Born followed Lu Jiao and headed to the Village Leader’s home.

The Village Leader, Xie Fugui, was considered to be the same generation as Xie Yunjin. With his wife, they had two sons and a daughter. They were fair and just with a good reputation in this village.

Before Xie Yunjin got injured, Xie Fugui placed a lot of hope on him. He thought that if one day, Xie Yunjin could leave the Xie Village and become an official, then the Xie Village could, in turn, get wealthy.

He never imagined for a minute that Xie Yunjin would get injured.

Xie Fugui was sadder about that than Xie Yunjin’s mom and dad.

Due to how Xie Laogen and his family reacted to their son’s injuries, Xie Fugui very much pitied Xie Yunjin.

When Xie Fugui saw Lu Jiao, he asked with concern, “Yunjin’s wife, are you having trouble with anything? If you need help, you can speak up and I’ll try to help.”

Lu Jiao shook her head, “Village Leader, it’s nothing. It’s just that we’ve been relying on you for everything and never did anything in return. There was only a boar hock left so I wanted to give it to you. Leader, please don’t mind it.”

Xie Fugui instantly declined, “Take it back and use it to help Yunjin recover. We don’t need it.”

Inside the room, Xie Fugui’s wife, Lady Zhang, nodded in agreement, “Yunjin’s wife, take it back. We bought a pound of pork from you and we haven’t eaten it.”

Since Lu Jiao brought it, of course, she wasn’t going to take it back. Determined, she said, “Leader, sister, as you know, I know how to hunt in the mountains. So really, this isn’t anything valuable. Whatever Yunjin wants to eat, I will hunt it down in the mountains. So please accept this. Or else I will be too shy to speak up when I need your help in the future.”

Xie Fugui and his wife exchanged glances. In the end, Xie Fugui asked Lady Zhang, “Take it then. See what vegetables we have that can be given to her. They don’t have much vegetables.”

Lu Jiao didn’t decline. She was worried that if she did, they could reject the gift.

Lady Zhang took the basket to the kitchen and ended up finding a wild rabbit. She screamed.

Xie Fugui unhappily walked in, “What are you screaming about?”

Lady Zhang showed him the injured rabbit, “Yunjin’s wife also gave us a rabbit.”

From the garden, Xie Fugui’s two grandsons cheered and dashed over, “Rabbit! A fat rabbit! We finally have some meat to eat.”

They had just bought some pork and now they have rabbit meat. Wow, amazing.

Lady Zhang saw how her grandsons reacted and wanted to keep the rabbit. However, that might not be appropriate. She looked towards Xie Fugui.

Lu Jiao walked inside and smiled, “If you are uncomfortable accepting this, then please trade me with more vegetables. We are very low on vegetables.”
