First Assistant’s Petite Wife Has Space

195 Classmates who Despise each other

Though Lu Jiao never had any intention to ask about her in-laws, there was always someone who provided her with updates.

“I have to say, she is truly stupid. Her husband obviously had a change of heart but she still cries and screams needlessly. Sooner or later, she’s going to hurt herself. If a man values you, he would do whatever he can to treat you well. For her to behave in such a manner will only make their relationship awkward.”

Lady Zhao talked about Lady Ruan with frustration but there was also some sympathy in her expression. She couldn’t help but imagine how she would feel if she was in Lady Ruan’s shoes. It was so hard being a woman.

“But Xie Laogen truly is not a good person. Before, for Lady Ruan, he infuriated his own parents to death. And today, he is infuriating his wife to death because of Widow Wang. This is karma.”

Lu Jiao raised an eyebrow, “Historically, men have always ended up luckier. Why do women rely on women for happiness? Why can’t we work for our own happiness?”

Lady Zhao stared at Lu Jiao in awe, “Your statement sure is unusual.”

Lu Jiao wanted to say more when she heard the sound of a horse carriage arriving. Lu Jiao turned to look at her own door.

She was now very experienced. Everyone who visits on a horse was normally here for Xie Yunjin or herself. Her neighbors or families rarely visit with a horse.

The point was, it was always either Xie Yunjin’s classmates or Baohe tang.

Lady Zhao heard the horse galloping as well, “You have another visitor?”

Her tone was envious. Being educated sure was a good thing. Sadly, they still had no grandchildren in her household. She thought of Lin Chunyan, who was barren and became angry. She asked Lu Jiao, “Are you sure Chunyan is okay?”

Lu Jiao instantly comforted, “I examined her recently. She’s recovering well. Don’t pressure her too much and she may just get pregnant soon. If you give her too much stress, she may be unaware of her pregnancy and get hurt. Huzi may blame you then.”

Lady Zhao was scared, “Ah, then I will watch out.”

Lu Jiao nodded in satisfaction. Lin Chunyan was a great person and she didn’t want Lady Zhao to kick her out. In this era, the women whose husbands left them normally killed themselves.

Lu Jiao could tell that Lin Chunyan was a dutiful woman. She always repaid those who did anything nice to her. Just because Lu Jiao examined her, she made the four little ones two sets of clothes each, plus a set of pajamas. She even kept the leftover cloth in order to make the children a pair of shoes each.

Lu Jiao went outside and saw Qi Lei get off the horse carriage.

Thinking that there was a patient who needed assistance at Baohe Tang, Lu Jiao went to him.

Behind Qi Lei, walked two more people. The first one was a young master. He was handsome, of moderate height, and wore very expensive clothing. It was obvious he came from a well-off family.

Lu Jiao thought he was sick and checked him for a few extra seconds. She discovered that he was not sick, so why was he here?

Qi Lei went up to Lu Jiao and introduced, “Lady Lu, this is the husband of the pregnant lady you helped save before. This is Young Master Hu.”

Lu Jiao understood right away. This was Li Yuyao’s husband and Xie Yunjin’s classmate.

Lu Jiao greeted politely, “Hello, Young Master Hu.”

Lu Jiao studied him carefully and found him to be arrogant. The sight of Lu Jiao shocked him.

“This is the Lady Lu who saved my wife and my son?”

Qi Lei nodded, “That’s right.”

Though Hu Shan was shocked, he remained polite and paid his respect, “Thank you, Lady Lu, for saving my family.”

He then ordered his subordinate, “Go get the gifts.”

The subordinate nodded and brought down a pile of stuff from the carriage.

Lu Jiao’s expression remained calm while Lady Zhao was dying from jealousy. She didn’t stay and went home after saying bye to Lu Jiao.

Lu Jiao brought Hu Shan and his subordinate inside.

Hu Shan knew Lu Jiao’s husband was Xie Yunjin, his rather aloof classmate.

Today, he came to both thank Lu Jiao and visit Xie Yunjin. He heard his classmate was wounded and paralyzed, and only recovered after surgery. Since he was here, he should also visit his classmate.

Hu Shan asked, “I heard classmate Yunjin had surgery. How has he recovered?”

“He’s doing very well. He’ll be able to walk in a couple of days.”

It’s been about a month since the surgery and he was ready to walk for a short period of time every day. However, he should still take it easy and let things heal.

Hu Shan smiled, “That’s great. Next year is the provincial exam.”

The group went to the living room. In the east bedroom, Xie Yunjin was reading at his desk. He heard the commotion and looked up to find Lu Jiao, Hu Shan, and Dr. Qi entering.

The sight of Hu Shan didn’t bring much joy to Xie Yunjin’s face.

He didn’t have a harmonious relationship with the young master.

It wasn’t just unharmonious, because of what this young master had spread, Xie Yunjin had to suffer somewhat.

Therefore, he wasn’t excited to see Hu Shan. Xie Yunjin knew that he didn’t come to visit him, he was here to thank Lu Jiao.

However, the surgeon who saved Li Yuyao was Dr. Qi, he only needed to thank Dr. Qi and it was not necessary for him to make the trip here.

In front of the door, Hu Shan smiled at Xie Yunjin, “Classmate Yunjin, you’re studying. How disciplined of you. With your intelligence, you don’t even need to study to pass the exam next year.”

Hu Shan wasn’t being sarcastic. He truly felt that Xie Yunjin was good enough to score high without studying.

Xie Yunjin raised an eyebrow, “Confucius once said, ‘learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous.'”

Lu Jiao translated that as knowledge has no limit.

She was too lazy to hear them talk in code and went to make some tea.

Once she was back, she found Hu Shan and Xie Yunjin throwing personal attacks at each other.

“You’re just a poor scholar who lives in the countryside. You act all mighty and honorable every day for whom to see?”

“Hehe, I’m still better than you guys. Who pace around without considering anyone else’s feelings. All you have is a somewhat wealthy family that you were born into.”

“How are we not considerate?”

“All the classmates run away from your group when they see you. Even the wheelers hide away from you. That tells you how inconsiderate you act.”

“We never provoked anyone and we are not inconsiderate. It’s other people’s choice to stay away from us. Why is that something we should care about?”
