First Assistant's Petite Wife Has Space-Chapter 55 - Leave you Sooner or Later

Lu Jiao smiled brightly at the thought and left the room. Once she reached the door, however, she made a sad face.

In front of the door, Lady Tian watched Lady Ruan in disdain, “You witch, what right do you have to come over here and ruin my daughter’s reputation? My daughter has such a bad rep because of you! I don’t understand how you have the audacity to come over here and ask for things. Look around, look at this home, there’s practically nothing here.”

Sadly, Lady Ruan had rolled to the ground and was whimpering with her eyes closed.

“I cannot live like this anymore. My son and daughter-in-law are so unfilial. Just let me die!”

In front of the gates, a lot of villagers watched the show.

Lots of people criticized Lady Ruan but of course lots of people blamed Lu Jiao. They saw how much stuff Yunjin’s classmates brought – it seemed fair to distribute some of that to Lady Ruan. She was the mother after all.

Back inside the yard, Lady Tian wanted to say more. However, Lu Jiao walked over and grabbed her hand. She then stared at the crying Lady Ruan.

“Mom, it’s not that I don’t want to give you anything. It’s just that I need to sell everything in town so I can buy Yunjin medicine. Right now, the most important thing is to treat Yunjin’s legs.”

Her words made many villagers sigh and they stopped blaming Lu Jiao.

Yunjin’s wife had a hard life – having to take care of a paralyzed husband.

Lu Jiao ignored the villagers and continued, “Mom, tell me honestly, it was your fourth son who asked you to come here and take all the gifts, right? He refuses to leave his brother alone until he dies! In order to prepare for his marriage, he manipulated you into shunning your own son.

And now, he saw his brother’s classmates come with gifts so he manipulated you to come and get those gifts.”

Just then, the noises of crying came from behind.

Lu Jiao turned around and saw that the four little ones were all crying. Even the First Born, who never cried, teared up.

The First Born complained, “Grandma, you don’t like us, do you? You only like our fourth uncle. Before, the fourth uncle had eggs to eat every day but we never got to eat any. Fourth uncle got sugar water every day, but we never got to drink any. Fourth uncle had new clothes to wear, but we never got to wear any.”

The quadruplets got sadder as they talked. Seeing them sad made Lu Jiao sad. She leaned down and comforted them.

“Good boys, don’t be sad.”

As she hugged them, the First Born whispered in her ear, “We are pretending.”

Lu Jiao’s face went dark. The four of them were all crying!

Before the door, the mother and boys looked miserable, which made many villagers sad. All of them started to complain about the Xie family’s fourth son, Xie Yunhua.

In the past, the Xie grandparents always talked trash about Lu Jiao and said Lu Jiao stole food from her sons, hit her sons, and refused to make them new clothes.

In the end, it was all Xie Yunhua’s fault.

Lady Ruan heard their words and immediately fell into a bad mood. Her face turned dark and she screamed at the quadruplets.

“Shut up, you heartless boys! Did you forget how your fourth uncle used to give you food?!”

The quadruplets cried harder. How sad!

The four little ones were already articulate for their age. Now, under duress, they somehow became even more well-spoken.

Enduring through the sorrow, the First Born stared at Lady Ruan with his eyes red, “That food was bought using silver my father gave you. My father gave you silver so you can buy us food. Yet you used it all to buy fourth uncle food. The fourth uncle ate eggs, drank sugar water, ate cakes, and wore new clothes. We didn’t even get basic food.”

The Second Born wiped away his tears using his own sleeve, “Grandma, you have such a poor heart. All the good things we had were given to the fourth uncle and the little aunt. We never got to eat anything! Ahhh, our lives are so hard. How did we end up with such a grandma?”

The Third Born added, “The fourth uncle got to dress pretty every day yet we had nothing to change into. We look so ugly.”

The Fourth Born saw what was happening and it scared him. However, his brothers were all acting so he had to too. 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖

He glanced at his mother and the sight of her calmed him down. He chimed in and howled, “The fourth uncle never did anything. Every day, he just ate and played. Ahh, grandma, you told us to dig for worms and feed them to the chickens. If we didn’t do it, we didn’t get food.”

Inside the yard, Lady Ruan’s face could not get any darker. She clenched her teeth and she got off the ground to hit the quadruplet.

“You bastards! I am going to hit you to death! How dare you ruin your uncle’s reputation!”

The quadruplet ran to the back to hide. Lu Jiao protected them from the front and yelled, “Mother, your fourth son is trying to destroy my family. If he dares to treat us this way, as his older sister-in-law, I dare to teach him a lesson. I am going to beat up that greedy lazy bum.”

She then walked towards the gate, obviously going to find Xie Yunhua and hit him to death.

Lady Ruan chased after her and cursed, “Lu Jiao, I dare you to hit my fourth son! I dare you!”

Lu Jiao temporarily stopped so Lady Ruan could catch up. Lu Jiao stared at her, “If he dares to manipulate you to cause trouble on my turf, I dare to teach him a lesson.”

In front of the trellis, the Second Grandma came over to soothe down Lady Ruan, “Go home, stop this. This is ridiculous. Yunjin’s still bedridden.”

Lady Ruan wanted to fight more but the Second Grandma pulled her away. This way, Lady Ruan didn’t fight it.

She was really scared that Lu Jiao would actually beat up her son. She heard that Lu Jiao beat up Shen Xiaoshan last time and he ended up lying in bed for three full days. The key thing was that there was no open wound on his body as evidence. If Lu Jiao really did run to her house, then her youngest son may suffer.

Lady Ruan left angrily and cursed as she walked.

Behind her, Xie Lan and Chen Liu stared in disbelief. They were leaving already? What about the stuff? They weren’t going to try to get the stuff anymore?

Lu Jiao glared at Xie Lan and Chen Liu.

These two women were scared but didn’t want to give up on the goods. So they spoke up in turn.

“Third sister-in-law, look at how much stuff you got. Just give some to mother – it’s no big deal. If you guard them without sharing, others may blame you.”

“Sister-in-law, I saw a lot of food in that pile. You should give half of it to your parents-in-law. That’s what good wives would do.”

Lu Jiao pointed at those two women mockingly, “I told you, I am going to sell everything. Get out of here. If you don’t, I will throw you out.”

Xie Lan and Chen Liu were furious but helpless. They walked outside the gate and cursed, “You heartless b!tch. Sooner or later, I will convince my brother to leave you.”

“What an unfilial daughter-in-law. The Xie family has no room for you. You have so much good food to eat and refuse to share with your parents.”

Behind them, Lu Jiao responded unpleasantly, “I have no objections to paying respect to my parents. But everything they have, they feed it to you and their fourth son. Are you my mother or are you my father?”
