First Assistant's Petite Wife Has Space - Chapter 200

200 It’s been a Month

Xie Yunhua honestly wasn’t too happy with the turn of events. He didn’t know why things turned out the way it did. He wanted to stop his dad from divorcing his mom. After all, his mom spoiled him. But these days, his dad acted possessed.

Xie Yunhua glanced at Widow Wang. It was all that woman’s fault.

Xie Laogen was happy to hear Xie Yunjin’s suggestion. Chen Liu was his eldest daughter-in-law and he found it appropriate for her to be in charge.

“Sure.”

!!
Beside him, Widow Wang’s face dropped. Silently, she realized that being with Xie Laogen was a miscalculation on her part. Like Lady Ruan said, this man was a worthless wimp. On the inside, Widow Wang hated Xie Laogen but she didn’t show it.

Inside the room, Xie Yunjin looked at Chen Liu and continued to speak calmly, “First sister-in-law, you should delegate tasks accordingly and make sure everyone does their part.”

Chen Liu was happy to hear that. Widow Wang, Xie Yunhua, and Xie Lan however, disliked that.

Xie Yunjin ignored them, “As for Lady Wang… though she is our father’s woman, she is a cheap concubine. Being a cheap concubine is the same as having a servant. You should make sure she’s kept busy.”

Xie Laogen interrupted, “She has to take care of me.”

Xie Yunjin glared at him, “She can take care of dad at night. In the morning, she has to do her part around the house.”

Xie Yunjin’s eyes were cold. Widow Wang dared to convince his dad to leave his mom. She didn’t deserve a comfortable life.

Xie Laogen didn’t dare to butt head against his third son and stayed quiet.

Xie Yunjin turned to Chen Liu, who happily agreed, “Third brother, do not worry. I know how to manage everything well.”

No longer wanting to spend more energy here, Xie Yunjin said to Lu Jiao, “Let’s go back.”

Lu Jiao smiled and helped Xie Yunjin with his wheelchair. Ah, what a great show they put on today. From now on, her disgusting mother-in-law will no longer bother her. She felt the sky above her has cleared up.

In a great mood, Lu Jiao pushed Xie Yunjin home in his wheelchair. On the way back, Xie Yunjin couldn’t help but comment, “How can such a stupid woman exist? How did she end up living such a life?”

Lu Jiao knew he was referring to his mother and didn’t want to get involved.

Xie Yunjin noticed her silence and took a look at her. He smiled, “If she was as intelligent as you, she wouldn’t end up the way she did.”

Lu Jiao rolled her eyes. She didn’t find what he said to be a compliment. It was not an honor to be compared to Lady Ruan.

“We are like the sky and the ground.”

Xie Yunjin knew Lu Jiao wasn’t happy and his tone softened, “You’re right. You’re much smarter than her.”

He was truly fortunate to have met her.

The two of them chatted casually and went home.

When the four little ones saw them return, they dashed over at lightning speed.

“Mommy, daddy, you’re home!”

Lu Jiao saw that they were sweating and wiped their faces dry.

“You can run slower! Look at all the sweat.”

The four little ones smiled and looked up at them. They didn’t object to Lu Jiao wiping their foreheads. With their cheeks slightly pink and extremely soft, they were unbelievably cute and pretty.

Lu Jiao pinched them and love poured out of her eyes. Xie Yunjin watched her move and felt jealous.

He mumbled to himself…. It appeared that Lu Jiao didn’t treat him as well as she treated the four little ones. Was he overthinking it or was she too shy to get close to him?

Lu Jiao didn’t care what Xie Yunjin was thinking. She bathed the children and got them ready for their afternoon nap.

Xie Yunjin also napped. Later, he’ll have to teach the children. After all these lessons, he’s closely observed and found a few children with high potential. He was ready to suggest to their parents to send their children to school.

At night, Lu Jiao made dinner and was getting ready to eat when Xie Erzhu arrived. His eyes were a little red. It was obvious that he was sad about Lady Ruan.

Lu Jiao didn’t know what to say. Lady Ruan was both a failure and a success. She managed to have two sons who treated her nicely but she chose to spoil the heartless ones.

“Ah, you’re here in time for dinner. Have some with us.”

Xie Erzhu said sullenly, “I have no appetite.”

He then went to sit on the side.

Xie Yunjin watched him. He knew his brother was sad about Lady Ruan.

Xie Yunjin knew Xie Erzhu’s personality and didn’t blame him. He simply asked, “You’ve dropped off mom?”

Xie Erzhu nodded, “Yes.”

He then said, “Third brother, why did dad divorce mom? Though she treated us poorly, she’s always been nice to dad. How’s he cold-hearted enough to leave her?”

Xie Yunjin raised an eyebrow and simply said, “What’s happened has happened. Don’t be too sad.”

Xie Erzhu remained depressed, “I know. I am afraid her days at uncle’s will be hard.”

He didn’t feel good when he saw where his mother ended up.

Xie Yunjin reminded him, “If you’re worried about that, you should visit with gifts sometimes. As long as uncle doesn’t cross the line, it should be fine. If uncle knows you might visit, he wouldn’t dare to give her a hard time.”

This was the last filial thing he was willing to do for his mother.

Xie Yunjin then said, “Okay, don’t be too sad. Come and eat.”

Xie Erzhu shook his head, “It’s okay. I’ll eat at home.”

These days, Xie Yunjin was now fully independent again and didn’t need Xie Erzhu’s help anymore. Therefore, Xie Erzhu got ready to go home.

Lu Jiao stopped him, “Since you’re here, sit and eat.”

Xie Erzhu didn’t decline then and went to the table. As everyone ate, he suddenly remembered something and said to Xie Yunjin, “Third brother, it’s been a month since your surgery, no?”

Xie Yunjin smiled, “Tomorrow it’d be a month.”

Xie Erzhu looked over to Lu Jiao, “Sister-in-law, Dr. Qi said my brother can try walking a little after a month of healing?”

Lu Jiao nodded, “That’s right.”

Because Xie Yunjin’s been having spiritual stream water, he was fine to walk as long as he didn’t overdo it.

Xie Erzhu was ecstatic, “Congratulations, third brother.”

Xie Yunjin smiled just as brightly. Even the air around him was soaked with gracefulness and gentleness. His normally dark eyes were now bright like the stars in the sky.

“Thank you, second brother, for all your help.”

Xie Erzhu embarrassingly waved around his hand, “No worries. I did what I should’ve done.”
