First Assistant’s Petite Wife Has Space

163 Not Born a Princess, Acts like a Princess

She then went to get the wood.

Lu Jiao, however, didn’t walk away and started to point fingers as Xie Lan worked, “Raise your arm higher, that will give you more strength. The way your arm is raised cannot break any wood. What is it? Did you not eat? Raise your arm! Yes, that’s right. Aim well, and cut decisively.

Sister-in-law, I’m not trying to give you a hard time. But what will you do once you marry? You were not born a princess yet you have all the problems a princess has. Are you really planning on buying a servant who can take care of you? No family can afford that.”

Lu Jiao spoke with a smile on her face while Xie Lan wanted to curse. Every time she saw Lu Jiao’s face, however, she was scared off. That woman handled her parents, let alone her.

Xie Lan started to cry. She cried while she chopped wood.

After a few more minutes of instructions, Lu Jiao went to prepare lunch.

Since there were four guests, she ended up taking out all the food she bought in town last time.

There was chicken, duck, fish, and pork. There were also gifts from the villagers. All that was enough to fill a table.

Spicy chicken, long beans with duck, braised fish, jalapeno with pork stir fry, shrimp with vegetables, steamed egg with green onion, smashed cucumber, chive pockets, and yam with mushroom ears.

Mushroom ears were given by the villagers and the yams were found by Lu Jiao when she went up in the mountains.

At this time, yam was still mostly used for medicine and most people didn’t know it could be used to make food with. Lu Jiao took the chance and made it into a dish.

At the dining table, Zheng Zhixing and the others now believed what Classmate Han said. The food was insanely visually pleasing and they just knew they would taste delicious.

Zheng Zhixing saw the food and couldn’t help but check out Lu Jiao for a few seconds. He realized that this woman had lost a considerable amount of weight since he saw her last. As it turned out, she was pretty. Her skin, in particular, was pale like jade. She didn’t look at all like a countryside housewife.

Xie Yunjin noticed the look in Zheng Zhixing’s eyes and quickly turned unpleasant. With his face droopy, he said, “Okay, let’s sit and eat.”

There were lots of people today so the table couldn’t fit everyone. Lu Jiao brought inside the old broken table and placed it before Xie Yunjin.

She said to the four little ones, “There are lots of guests here today. How about you sit here and eat with daddy?”

The four little ones glanced at everyone and agreed. Daddy had taught them once that visitors are respectable guests. They were the hosts and should accommodate.

“Okay, mommy.”

Lu Jiao smiled in satisfaction. She got a portion of all the dishes into their bowls and placed them on the small table. She also filled a bowl for Xie Yunjin. Only then did she ask the guests to come and eat.

“My home is old and dirty. Please don’t mind.”

Zheng Zhixing responded in a nice tone this time, “We are the ones interrupting your day.”

Li Wenbin smiled, “Lady Lu, you are such a good cook, not like my wife, whose cooking is barely edible.”

Countryside women normally make sure the food is cooked through. They don’t care about the taste because they didn’t have the conditions to.

Zheng Zhixing responded quickly, “Your wife needs to cook herself? Don’t you have servants?”

Li Wenbin quickly became uncomfortable. Lu Jiao knew right away there was a story there and tried to change the subject.

“Okay, let’s eat. The food is getting cold.”

Everyone sat down to eat.

Since Xie Yunjin was injured and had to eat in bed, Lu Jiao had to eat with everyone as the host.

However, sitting at their table was also Xie Lan.
