First Assistant's Petite Wife Has Space-Chapter 7

Daddy, Don’t Hit Him

Lu Jiao continued to stare at them with a long face. Once again, she ordered, “Go get me a stick.”

This time, Xie Yunjin didn’t stop her. For the First Born to do what he did today, he deserved punishment. Or else he truly won’t learn just how high the heavens were.

At this moment, Xie Yunjin felt regretful. He shouldn’t have done what he did in front of the kids. He should’ve thought of another way.

The First Born’s eyes were red as his legs trembled. He didn’t know how to walk properly anymore as his body swayed with each step forward. 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦

He would be beaten to death by that evil woman. Waaaa, he was going to die.

Though scared, he still found the stick the original host used to hit them with.

Lu Jiao took over the stick and while she watched the four lined up kids, she lectured expressionlessly, “You three, watch this. If you do what you did today again, you will receive the same punishment.”

She ordered the First Born, “Give me your hands.”

The First Born extended his boney hands. The sight of his hands made Lu Jiao quite sad. But she remembered how evil and ruthless they’ll turn out and slapped the First Born’s palm with the stick.

As she hit his hand, she lectured in a low voice, “Yes, it was my fault for hitting you in the past, but I am simply a common woman from the village. If my reputation gets tarnished, nothing will happen to me. However, you guys are going to get educated and you’re going to get honorable jobs. If anyone finds out that you once poisoned your mother, what path would be left for you? How do you become good citizens then?”

That one strike on the First Born’s hand made the other three cry. As they cried, they begged.

“Stop hitting him. We won’t do it again.”

“We won’t do it again.”

“We won’t try to hurt you again. We’ll let you hit us in the future.”

Their words made it impossible for Lu Jiao to hate them and strike hard. The strikes grew soft and after 20 strikes to the palm, she looked at the First Born.

“Remember, think before you do something. If you want to do something, consider whether or not you should. Until you’re certain, it’s best not to do it.”

The quadruplets were only four years old. They were still unsure what those words meant and only nodded as they listened.

On the bed, Xie Yunjin kept his gaze on this woman.

She sure appeared capable while she educated his sons – not at all stupid like before. However, Xie Yunjin didn’t believe that this capability was hers to have. Someone must have taught her behind their back. Was it his mother-in-law?

His mother-in-law was once a servant for a rich family in town. She had seen and experienced much more than normal commoners.

His mother-in-law must’ve taught her all this. Xie Yunjin smiled sarcastically as he coldly stared at Lu Jiao.

Lu Jiao glanced around the room and spoke slowly, “Now I finally know how much you all hate me.”

She paused, then looked at Xie Yunjin on the bed, “Let us have a serious chat.”

Xie Yunjin didn’t answer so Lu Jiao continued steadily, “Xie Yunjin as you should know, I wasn’t always like this. When I lived with my parents, I wasn’t like this. Back then, I may have been a little spoiled but I never would’ve acted so unreasonably.”

Lu Jiao didn’t lie. Back at her parents’ place, she would have some harsh requests, but to the outsiders, she had always been somewhat good and she never rolled around angrily or hit people without a good reason.

The reason why she turned out this way was partially because of Xie Yunjin.

“I am now the way I am because I wasn’t able to receive what I wanted. I married into the Xie family with high hopes. I wanted you to like me and be nice to me. Sadly, not only am I not in your heart, you even hate me.”

She married into the Xie family with the expectation of having a good husband. The result was that her husband was cold and aloof. This was why the original host got more and more unreasonable as time went on. She started to roll on the ground and scream and even hit her own sons. The reason for that was because that was the only thing that could cause Xie Yunjin to show some emotions.

The original host saw that Xie Yunjin would get angry when his sons were hit. So she started to feel a rush of happiness as if she had avenged herself. Therefore, she started to hit them harder.

Of course, the original Lu Jiao wasn’t all good. She didn’t care as much and had an attitude that she didn’t care about what happened to her.

Lu Jiao wanted to treat today as an opportunity to change her personality. It would be difficult for her to continue to act like a devious b!tch.

“I am exhausted so I have decided to stop bothering you. I have decided to separate from you.”

“Separate?”

This time, Xie Yunjin finally showed some emotions. Not only did he frown coldly, his lips also formed a mocking smile.

So this woman did so much just to separate from them.

It was because he was paralyzed and she didn’t want to take care of him anymore.

The mocking grin on Xie Yunjin’s lips intensified and his face got so gloomy it just might rain.

Lu Jiao saw the heavy look in Xie Yunjin’s eyes and found it hard to continue. However, she forced herself to speak, “Don’t worry though. I’m not talking about separating now. I will separate from you once your legs are healed. Before, the doctor from Baohe Tang said the best army doctor can cure your legs. I will find that doctor and ask him to perform surgery. Once you are healed, we can separate. What do you say?”

Xie Yunjin snickered, “Finding me the best doctor? From where? How?”

Lu Jiao raised an eyebrow, “Don’t worry about that. I will be able to find one.”

“What if you can’t?”

“I won’t leave until I find one. I will for sure cure you before I leave.” fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

Lu Jiao wasn’t at all worried. She knew how to perform surgery. With all the medicine and equipment in her space, surgery was a none issue.

On the bed, Xie Yunjin continued to stare at Lu Jiao. This dumb woman seemed to have smartened up a little. The way she spoke and acted was now logical. His mother-in-law must’ve spent mad energy when she taught her.

Without any expression, Xie Yujie glanced at Lu Jiao and said coldly, “If you can really find a doctor who can cure my legs, I will agree to separate. I will sign the paper.”

“Okay.”

Lu Jiao was ecstatic. This was great. Now, she just needed to find the opportunity to perform surgery and then take care of him for two to three months after. After that, she would get to leave the Xie family.

With her improved mood, she turned to look at the four little ones. Slowly, she said, “See this? Your dad and I are going to separate soon. So you no longer have to worry about me hitting you.”

The four little ones exchanged glances. They had no idea how to react to the current situation.

They should be happy that this evil woman will be. But for some reason, they couldn’t get themselves to feel happy.

The four little ones were a little scared. On her way out of the house, Lu Jiao saw the First Born’s swollen hands. She wanted to bandage him up but the memory of him poisoning his own mother made her think better of it. He needed to be taught a lesson.

“I’m going to make breakfast.”

Behind him, Xie Yunjin watched her leave with a sarcastic grin. He sure wanted to see how she’ll manage to find him a doctor.

As he thought about it, he looked over the First Born.

“First Born, give me the stick.”

The baby was terrified. His hand hurt a lot. The evil woman had just hit him, was his dad going to hit him as well?

Second, Third, and Fourth Borns pleadingly looked up to Xie Yunjin, “Daddy, don’t hit him.”
