First Assistant’s Petite Wife Has Space

162 Coincidental or Intentional?
Xie Laogen and Lady Ruan’s expressions appeared extremely ugly. They didn’t dare to breathe another word as they turned around to leave. Behind them, the leaders and elders also left while laughing and chatting.

Lu Jiao went into the east bedroom with the contract. Xie Yunjin had leaned himself against the edge of the bed and asked Lu Jiao about what happened the moment she walked in.

“The leaders want something?”

Since the event took place outside the trellis, Xie Yunjin couldn’t hear anything.

Lu Jiao happily gave the contract to Xie Yunjin to look over.

“Last night, the leaders made your parents sign this. They won’t dare to cause us trouble again.”

Xie Yunjin read the contract. It was merely two sentences and the writing was all twisted. Some villager must’ve written this.

It basically said that Xie Laogen and Lady Ruan were not allowed to cause Xie Yunjin any trouble. If they do, they will be kicked out of the Xie Village. Below, Xie Laogen and Lady Ruan left their thumbprints.

Xie Yunjin coldly hissed and asked Lu Jiao to put it away. Lu Jiao didn’t move.

“Take it.”

Why should she? She was going to move out soon.

Xie Yunjin found her lack of action strange, “Take it.”

Lu Jiao was about to speak when the four little ones rushed inside, “Mommy, why are you up already?”

The children rubbed their eyes and found their dad to be awake too. They quickly greeted, “Daddy, you’re awake too?”

Xie Yunjin nodded and warmly asked the four little ones, “Do you want to sleep longer?”

The Second Born shook his head instantly, “We want to box.”

Ever since Lu Jiao told the children to do some boxing in the morning, the children had been strictly following it. Though sometimes, they wake up a little later, they still insist on boxing before eating.

Today, they were up early and they still wanted to box first.

Xie Yunjin smiled and told them to go ahead.

After the children left, Lu Jiao decided she was too lazy to argue about who should keep the contract. Since he wanted her to have it, she’ll keep it temporarily.

“I’ll make breakfast then. You can sleep longer.”

Xie Yunjin was satisfied that Lu Jiao took the contract, “Sure, go on with your business.”

He suddenly remembered the wheelchair, “After breakfast, ask Uncle Youcai if the wheelchair is ready to go.”

Lu Jiao agreed, “Okay.”

She went to cook breakfast and prepared herself for a busy morning. Other than breakfast, she had to milk the sheep and boil its milk. Then, she had to water all her planted veggies.

The four little ones boxed under the tree out front. After they were done, they had their sheep milk followed by breakfast.

After breakfast, Lu Jiao took the children to visit Uncle Youcai. When they got out of the gate, they saw a horse carriage parked in front.

Lu Jiao recognized the cart driver right away. It was Classmate Han’s family carriage.

Lu Jiao was confused. Xie Yunjin had asked Classmate Han to focus on studying in order to take the September district exam. Why was he here now?

Before Lu Jiao could say anything, Classmate Han got out of the cart with boxes of gifts. He smiled at Lu Jiao, “Yunjin’s wife, you’re going out?”

Lu Jiao nodded and the four little ones grinned at Classmate Han, “Uncle Han, hello.”

“Have you eaten breakfast?”

“We still have lots of food at home.”

Classmate Han patted each one of them on the head, “I’ve eaten. You’re going out to play with your mommy?”

The four little ones nodded. Lu Jiao looked at Classmate Han, then at the three men who consecutively got out of the horse carriage.

They were the other classmates who once visited Xie Yunjin.

Lu Jiao couldn’t help but check out the classmates. All three of them were dressed simply and all three of them appeared studious and graceful. Out of the group, one of them had a face that stood out. However, the way he looked at Lu Jiao made her uncomfortable.

Though this man was handsome, he carried with him an air of arrogance. The way he looked at Lu Jiao was like he was looking down at her.

Lu Jiao wanted to roll her eyes at him. If he thought poorly of her, why was he here?

Since he didn’t explicitly say it, she didn’t mention anything.

Classmate Han introduced the others to Lu Jiao, “Yunjin’s wife, these are the classmates who visited last time. This is Zheng Zhixing, this is Duyi, and this is Li Wenwu.

Zheng Zhixing was the handsome but arrogant one.

Lu Jiao ignored him and looked toward the other two. Both of them were very warm and kind looking. Li Wenwu in particular seemed to be very sincere and honest. When he saw Lu Jiao, he paid his respect right away, “I heard Yunjin’s legs are well now. All of us are very happy for him, therefore, we asked Classmate Han to bring us over for a visit.”

Lu Jiao nodded and then led the group to the living room.

On the way there, she remembered her suspicion from last time.

Four years ago, Xie Yunjin was drugged. Four years later, he was hit by a horse carriage. Weren’t all those incidents far too coincidental? Could it be that someone was jealous and intentionally harmed him?

Though Lu Jiao had those thoughts, she didn’t express them. She led Classmate Han, Zheng Zhixing, and the others to the east bedroom.

When Xie Yunjin saw everyone, he happily gestured for them to sit.

Lu Jiao went to make tea.

The four little ones saw the guests and asked Lu Jiao in a quiet voice, “Mommy, are we not going to Mutou’s place anymore?”

Lu Jiao nodded and patted their heads, “We’ll go in the afternoon. I have to cook lunch later and don’t have time to go.”

The four little ones didn’t say much else, “We got it. Then we will get ready for our reading lessons.”

“Sounds good, go ahead.”

Lu Jiao then brought some tea into the east bedroom.

There, Zheng Zhixing and Xie Yunjin chatted.

“Yunjin, you sure are lucky to remain unscathed after such serious injuries. As the saying goes, one who survives a great disaster is destined for good fortune after. I am certain you will experience great fortune.”

Lu Jiao felt like that guy’s tone was a little bitter.

The other two classmates warmly smiled. Li Wenbin grinned sincerely, “I am glad you are okay. Now, you can attend next year’s exam. Given your intelligence, I am certain you will place first in our prefecture.”

Those words made Zheng Zhixing’s face drop. His lips also tightened.

Xie Yunjin smiled in response, “I’m happy to just pass. In our Ning Prefecture, there are many hidden talents and lowkey geniuses who are waiting to pounce on the opportunity to show off their skills.”

Because of those words, Zheng Zhixing’s expression lightened up.

Calmly, Lu Jiao placed the tea and the cups before everyone, “Have some tea, everyone.”

She handed the cups of tea to each guest. Afterward, she politely walked up to Xie Yunjin and asked, “Should I cook some food and have everyone stay for dinner?”
