First Assistant’s Petite Wife Has Space

221 Beggar Mom over Official Dad

Lady Tian glared at her and said unpleasantly, “I think my current son-in-law is good. You need to hold onto him.”

In the end, Lady Tian chose to focus on the fact that her daughter liked her son-in-law and wasn’t able to gain any affection back. Days like that were hard. After all, her daughter had always been exclusively in love with her son-in-law. In reality, to Lady Tian, she didn’t care whether or not the man liked Lu Jiao back. If they were able to raise the four little ones well, Lu Jiao will be able to enjoy the fortunes the children bring her later in life.

Then, she remembered how upset and sad she was when Lu Danian was unhappy with her about lending money. To not be loved by one’s husband one’s entire life must hurt.

Lady Tian closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, “If my son-in-law really doesn’t like you, then leave him. Your next one will be even better.”

Lu Jiao didn’t expect this from Lady Tian and she laughed.

Her laughter made Lady Tian hit her, “How can you laugh at a time like this? Do you know how hard life is for a divorced woman?”

She then remembered the four little ones and asked, “What about the children?”

Lu Jiao explained, “I’ll take care of them. If Xie Yunjin gets as far as the imperial exam in the palace, he’ll take the children.”

Her words pained Lady Tian even more. Those four little ones were so obedient, cute, and mature. How could her daughter just leave them with Xie Yunjin? Lady Tian’s heart ached so much she felt like tumbling over.

“Can’t he give you one of them? My son-in-law sure is cruel.”

Lu Jiao couldn’t say anything but to comfort Lady Tian, “It’s better for him to take them. If he ends up moving to the Capital City and gets a job there, The four little ones would have an official for a father. It’s much better for them to be with him than me.”

Lady Tian disagreed with that and fixated on Lu Jiao, “Have you heard of one saying? Children would rather stay with their beggar mothers than be with their official fathers. The official father will for sure marry someone else later. Step-mothers are no joke. Will she treat the children well?”

Lu Jiao recalled the ending of the novel and what happened to the four little ones. To have been able to turn the four little ones into villains, the woman Xie Yunjin will marry was not going to be a good person.

Lu Jiao couldn’t help but worry and wonder if the four little ones will end up becoming villains. No, she had to use the next year to ensure their personalities were solidified.

Lu Jiao stared at Lady Tian, “Mom, don’t worry. Perhaps I’ll stay with him. All these worries are for the future.”

Since it was late, Lu Jiao asked Lady Tian to sleep and cautioned Lady Tian, “Mom, the four little ones thought their father and I made up. Don’t tell them about this.”

“I know.” Lady Tian rubbed her temples and her eyes remained red, “My poor grandsons. How did they end up with such a father?”

Lu Jiao’s lips stretched out and didn’t dare to comment on that. She returned to Lu Gui’s room.

Inside the room, Xie Yunjin remained lopsided on the bed. He wasn’t sure if Lady Tian was going to come in again so he didn’t dare to go back on the floor.

After he sse that Lu Jiao came back by herself, Xie Yunjin got off the bed and took the thick blanket.

Lu Jiao watched him settle in on the ground. She recalled Lady Tian’s words, children would rather stay with their beggar mother than be with their official father.

She couldn’t help but warn, “Xie Yunjin, once we separate, you may marry someone else. Please don’t become a stepfather to the children just because they’re going to have a stepmother.”

Xie Yunjin studied Lu Jiao and found her beautiful visage to show traces of worry. It appeared that she was worried about the children’s future.

Xie Yunjin couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. What did Lady Tian say to her?

Since Xie Yunjin didn’t answer, Lu Jiao added, “There are lots of evil women who have many tricks up their sleeves. They act one way in front of you, then act another way behind your back. Some people are cruel to children but pretend to treat them well in front of you. Some women also spoil their children and give them whatever they want. They make the children narcissistic so others dislike them…”

Before Lu Jiao could finish, Xie Yunjin questioned, “If you’re so worried about them, why do you want to leave?”

Lu Jiao froze and stared back at Xie Yunjin. The way he looked at her was profound. His dark eyes appeared to be overflowing with emotions.

Lu Jiao was flustered but quickly remembered the time when he told her she was overthinking when she asked him again if he liked her. He was right. She needed to stop overthinking everything.

Lu Jiao laid back down and said in an unhappy tone, “Sleep.”

On the ground, Xie Yunjin went back to staring at the floor. Because of Lady Tian’s interference, these two found it hard to sleep.

Xie Yunjin couldn’t help but talk to Lu Jiao, “Lu Jiao, why are you so determined to separate?”

Lu Jiao’s head hurt. It was impossible for her to explain everything. There was so much to it.

First of all, she wasn’t the original host. She transmigrated here and it was impossible for her to take another woman’s man and children without feeling bad. Second of all, she was from the modern era and therefore, had many different values than Xie Yunjin.

Third of all, this was a novel. In the novel, this man ends up with another wife.

Lastly and most importantly, she wanted to find someone who was head over heels in love with her.

Lu Jiao actually lacked love deep within. When she was a child, she was neglected by her parents and so, she craved love.

In her previous life, she was so focused on her career that she never found someone who loved her. In this life, she wanted to find someone who loved her for who she was.

She had no way of resisting those who show her unconditional love. Such as Lady Tian, such as the four little ones.

Of course, she naturally couldn’t communicate all this to Xie Yunjin.

Lu Jiao pretended she was asleep and ignored Xie Yunjin.

Xie Yunjin didn’t pose again. He closed his eyes and searched for reasons why Lu Jiao wanted to leave so badly. Was it because he didn’t like her? Or because she didn’t like him?

Xie Yunjin thought of Lady Tian. Others may not know this but he knew that the Lu Jiao today is not the original Lu Jiao. But Lu Jiao accepted Lady Tian and was exceptionally nice to her.

Why was Lu Jiao so nice to lady Tian? Was she trying to replace the original host who died?

Xie Yunjin slowly fell asleep as he thought about it. Lu Jiao also fell asleep.

The next day, as soon as the Sun arose, the Lu family yard got loud. The four little ones, Huzi, plus Taozi chatted loudly inside the yard.

Huzi didn’t like the four children. However, in the morning, he saw that the four children were putting away the boar bones from last night. He was shocked and asked the First Born, “Why are you taking the bones left over from dinner?”

The First Born told Huzi, “My mommy is going to sharpen this bone into a toothbrush handle. Then she’ll make a toothbrush head. After that, everyone in my family will have a toothbrush.”

Huzi didn’t know what a toothbrush was and asked, “What’s a toothbrush?”

“It’s something you use to clean your teeth with. You see how villagers use willow branches to clean their teeth? My mommy said toothbrushes are better than willow branches.”

Huzi’s mind was blown and couldn’t help but to ask, “Can I ask aunt for one?”

Beside them, Taozi jumped over and hugged onto the First Born, “Brother, brother, I want one! I want one!”
