First Assistant’s Petite Wife Has Space

111 Mom has to Thank you

The First Born emotionlessly concluded, “This woman must be here because she wanted to be my daddy’s concubine. She wants to have my daddy’s kids.”

The Second, Third, and Fourth Born freaked out. They snapped their heads around to stare at the First Born.

Lu Jiao raised an eyebrow, “So you asked her to clean the dogs’ house?”

The four little ones carefully observed to see if Lu Jiao was angry. She didn’t seem to be.

Lu Jiao educated, “You can give her tasks to complete because your grandma invited her over to help us out. Don’t intentionally hurt her though, okay?”

Lu Jiao didn’t want the four little ones to go down the villainous path so she was determined to nip their evil thoughts.

The Second, Third, and Fourth Born all nodded to show they understood. The First Born, however, appeared dejected. He remembered the time he poisoned his mom and wondered if she never forgave him for it. Was his mom certain that he was not a good kid?

The First Born was intensely sad.

Lu Jiao didn’t notice this right away and went back to cleaning the water tank.

After she was done, she brought out two wooden buckets to fetch more water from the village.

She turned around and suddenly saw a little shadow walk to the back of the house. That thin and fragile silhouette seemed to be drowning in sadness. Though she couldn’t see his face, Lu Jiao was certain that the little guy was blue.

Lu Jiao put down the buckets and followed the little shadow. The young boy walked to the back of the house, squatted by the wall, and played with the mud on the ground.

The little guy appeared extremely sad.

Lu Jiao walked over and squatted down. She caught sight of the little boy’s red eyes and the bean-sized tears that rolled down his face.

This sad boy was the First Born.

Lu Jiao was in shock. Out of the quadruplets, the First Born was the calmest and most restrained. Very much like his father, he was logical and rarely showed emotions.

Her heart ached when she saw how hurt he was. Lu Jiao grabbed his hand and asked caringly, “First Born, what’s wrong? Tell mom.”

The First Born was surprised to see Lu Jiao. Her question, however, upset him even more and the tears poured out violently.

He couldn’t make a sound at this point and whimpered like a kitty. His current state could worry anyone.

Lu Jiao hugged him and asked warmly, “What’s wrong? Tell me?”

Lu Jiao searched her brain to try and figure out what happened. He was fine moments ago and now he was so somber. Did something happen?

Lu Jiao then remembered what she had said – she had warned the children how not to cause harm to others.

Did the First Born remember the time he tried to poison her?

The First Born cried harder and harder. Lu Jiao patted his back and whispered, “First Born, did you remember that one time you tried to hurt mom?”

The First Born was startled and his little body froze.

Lu Jiao knew that was it. She hugged him and spoke softly, “I don’t blame you. I wasn’t a good mom back then and that was why you did what you did. I have to tell you a secret – it’s because you tried to poison me, and that was why I changed.”

This information made the First Born stop crying. Shocked, he looked up at Lu Jiao. Lu Jiao loosened her grip on him and leveled her gaze toward him.

“Because you poisoned me, I realized how awful I was. For my own son to want to hurt me meant I had failed as a mother and as a person. That was why I decided to change myself and treat you better.”

Lu Jiao reached out and patted the First Born’s head, “I want to thank you. Thank you, my First Born, for waking me up.”

Her words lifted the giant rock that sat in the First Born’s heart. His big eyes brightened and softened.

Lu Jiao was happy to see that and hugged him, “Let the bygones be bygones. Let’s all forget about what happened. How’s that?”

The First Born finally smiled a little. He reached out and put his arms around Lu Jiao’s neck, “Okay”, he responded softly.

His mommy didn’t blame him and even thanked him.

Lu Jiao held him for a while then added, “You do have to promise me something though.”

The First Born nodded, “What is it?”

“Don’t do something like that again. Doing those things will only hurt you. I want you to be safe and sound.”

The First Born felt so warm because of those words. His little head nodded again, “I promise you, mommy, that I won’t do things like that anymore.”

“Good boy. Let’s go back then.”

Lu Jiao let him go and grabbed his hand. They walked back to the yard together. The First Born occasionally looked up to admire his mom. His heart was full of joy. His mom didn’t blame him and even thanked him. His mom was so great.

By the time the mother and son duo got back to the front yard, someone rushed inside.

It was Zhou Xiaotao. Zhou Xiaotao rushed to the water tank to clean it only to find it already clean and empty.

She then saw the two wooden buckets on the side. She picked those up and immediately went out to fetch more water.

Behind her, Lu Jiao watched this in shock. Why did that woman come back?

Lady Ruan must’ve comforted Zhou Xiaotao and reiterated the benefits of this plan to tempt her. Then, she swallowed her pride and came back.

Lu Jiao didn’t really care but the four little ones were obviously unhappy. They angrily complained.

“Mommy, she came back.”

“Does she really want to be my daddy’s concubine?”

“She wants to have my daddy’s babies.”

“Hmmph, she better not think about it. We need to keep an eye on daddy.”

Since they stood by the window, Xie Yunjin managed to catch every word.

His face was unspeakably dark. What were they saying? What did Lu Jiao say to those kids?

Xie Yunjin gritted his teeth.

Though Lu Jiao didn’t see Xie Yunjin’s reaction, she was scared of getting found out and so she acted angry.

“If she dares to try anything with your father, I will beat her up.”

She then comforted the children, “Don’t worry. Treat her like a helper. I will give her things to do.”

The four little ones worried despite Lu Jiao’s efforts.

“No, we need to keep an eye on daddy.”

“Yeah.”

The children ran into the east bedroom. Lu Jiao made a face. Their dad had very picky taste and there was no way he would like someone like that.

Since it was late, Lu Jiao went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Xie Yunjin just had surgery and could not eat anything spicy, meaty, or salty. She had to make something bland.

For dinner, they will have vegetable stir-fry with peanuts, and some side dishes. Lu Jiao really wanted to make steamed buns for the four little ones. However, since they didn’t have the right pot, they had to compromise.
