First Assistant’s Petite Wife Has Space

194 The First Born is Constantly Worried

Lady Ruan rolled around in the Xie family’s yard. Many people from the village rushed over to watch the show and spoke their opinions. Of course, nobody really spoke ill of Xie Yunjin or Lu Jiao, they mostly commented on how fussy Lady Ruan was.

Xie Yunjin was exasperated. He didn’t even want to see Lady Ruan.

Xie Yunjin looked up and called out to Xie Daqiang, “Brother, come here. I have something to say.”

Xie Daqiang detested his third brother and didn’t want to come.

Xie Yunjin coldly glared at him, which reminded Xie Daqiang that he was a scholar and will one day write the imperial exam and become an official. It would be better if Xie Daqiang didn’t offend him.

Xie Daqiang finally marched over and unhappily asked, “What is it?”

Xie Yunjin said in a low voice, “Brother, I think I’ve seen you enter Widow Wang’s home before. Do you think dad knows about that?”

Xie Daqiang stared at Xie Yunjin in awe and panicked. He glanced around anxiously.

That was right. Before, Xie Daqiang was also interested in spending nights with Widow Wang and he was very close to succeeding too.

However, Widow Wang stopped humoring his attempts.

In hindsight, it was because she had decided to seduce Xie Loagen.

Though Xie Daqiang didn’t end up succeeding, he had no desire on letting his father find out about that.

Xie Daqiang was quick to respond to Xie Yunjin, “Okay, I am going to bring mom back and ask her to not come to you to make a scene.

Behind him, Xie Yunjin added, “I also hope my eldest sister-in-law visits less.”

Xie Daqiang didn’t even look back. He went to Lady Ruan, grabbed her hand, and headed out.

Lady Ruan struggled, “Xie Daqiang, you are a coward who calls a sl*t your mother. You cannot even protect your biological mother! Let me go! I am not going to admit you as my son anymore!”

Xie Daqiang covered Lady Ruan’s mouth, “Mother, settle down. If you keep making a scene like this, dad may really leave you.”

Even now, Lady Ruan still refused to believe that and screamed, “See if he dares! If he dares, I will fight him until one of us dies!”

Xie Daqiang rolled his eyes. Every day, she threatens with her life when she herself is scared of death the most.

Xie Daqiang dragged Lady Ruan out. Behind them, Chen Liu didn’t follow, which made Xie Daqiang angrily snap his head around, “Are you not coming back?”

Chen Liu had to follow and the two of them left.

Outside, the villagers said to Xie Daqiang, “Daqiang, talk to your mother. The other person is now officially a part of your family so there is no point in being so angry. Plus, that woman signed an indenture so you can literally treat her like a servant. Find her housework to help out with.”

“In a sense, Widow Wang went into your family with dowry. She has her own home with a nice yard. You basically got a three-room home for free. What’s there to complain about?”

Xie Daqiang truly listened. If he could get possession of Widow Wang’s yard, that would be pretty nice.

Inside Xie Yunjin’s home, Lu Jiao pushed Xie Yunjin inside. The First Born went to them quickly and said to Lu Jiao, “Mommy, daddy hasn’t eaten lunch.”

Lu Jiao’s heart ached, “My son, you’re only four years old and you’re so worried about all the little things. Worrying like this will impact how tall you grow.”

The First Born froze. Xie Yunjin rolled his eyes at Lu Jiao, “Don’t scare him like that.”

Xie Yunjin then patted the First Born’s head, “Your mom is joking with you. But you should just worry about yourself now that my legs are healed. You don’t have to worry about me anymore.”

The First Born glanced at Xie Yunjin’s legs and smiled, “Daddy, I got it.”

Lu Jiao saw his heart had settled down and giggled.

Out of the four little ones, she ached the most for the First Born. He was the same age as his brothers but he took on the elder brother role and took care of the others. He even kept an eye on his old dad. She must spoil him more in the future.

Lu Jiao asked Xie Yunjin, “What do you want to eat?”

Xie Yunjin didn’t have many requests, he was fine as long as the food was edible. He was not someone who acted all noble and honorable.

“Anything.”

Lu Jiao smiled, “Okay, then I will go and make ‘anything’.”

She then went to cook. Behind her, Xie Yunjin chuckled. Sometimes, this woman acted very serious, other times, she was fun.

Here in the Xie family, Xie Yunjin’s legs slowly recovered and the family’s lives went back on track.

Other than taking care of Xie Yunjin and the four little ones, Lu Jiao studied to read and write.

As for Xie Yunjin, he taught the village children, the four little ones, and Lu Jiao different reading materials. He also started to study again. Since he had decided to take the exam next year, he couldn’t let his knowledge go to waste.

Since Lu Jiao had told Aunt Guihua about how people gave her a hard time when seeking treatments, Aunt Guihua passed on the message to the Village Leader. The Village Leader, in turn, ordered that nobody was allowed to go straight to Lu Jiao for consultation. Only those he approved were allowed to go ask Lu Jiao for help.

This saved Lu Jiao lots of trouble and created more time for her to read books and write.

Very quickly, she finished learning the Three Character Classic, the Hundred Surnames, and the Thousand Character Classics. After that, she didn’t need Xie Yunjin to teach her anymore. She would find books for herself to study and if there was something she didn’t know, she would ask Xie Yunjin.

Because of this, she mastered a large number of different characters very quickly. Her writing skill also drastically improved.

Xie Yunjin was now more and more convinced that where Lu Jiao came from, they simply used different forms of the same characters. That was why she didn’t know how to write before but was able to learn this quickly.

The four little ones continued to stick to Lu Jiao’s exercise schedule and they got stronger and stronger. They’ve also formed very good habits and their actions and words revealed how educated they were.

While over here, the family’s lives were improving, Xie Laogen’s family was getting more and more chaotic. Lady Ruan didn’t want to accept her fate and continued to cry and howl every day and scream at Xie Laogen to sell Widow Wang. Pity though, Xie Laogen was hooked and ignored Lady Ruan.

Because of Lady Ruan’s behavior, she pushed him closer to Widow Wang. Those two acted like they were a young couple falling into a honeypot. Their relationship grew sweeter.

This triggered Lady Ruan, who decided to curse shrilly every day until she lost her voice. Nobody in the Xie family was able to live peacefully because of her.
