First Assistant's Petite Wife Has Space Chapter 15

Chapter 15

Then get your Revenge

Before Lu Jiao could finish, Xie Yunjin choked on the water. She caught two wild chickens and a wild rabbit? Along with two bunches of ganoderma? How come he never knew there were so many goodies in the mountains?

Lu Jiao didn’t expect her words to make Xie Yunjin choke. She quickly went to find something to wipe his mouth with. She failed to find anything nearby and in the end, wiped his mouth with her own sleeve.

Lu Jiao only did it out of convenience but Xie Yunjin was stunned by her action, “You, you…”

When Lu Jiao realized that she had just wiped Xie Yunjin’s mouth with her sleeve, she felt awful.

“Haha, it’s late. I’m going to cook for the four babies.”

She then took the bowl and left. Behind her, Xie Yunjin angrily stared at her, “Lu Jiao, you dare to wipe my mouth with your sleeve.”

Outside the door, Lu Jiao sneered. Ha, he minded the fact that she wiped his mouth? It was a luxury that someone wiped his mouth in the first place.

She walked to the kitchen to cook for the four little ones. For dinner, she made porridge with glutinous rice and vegetables. Honestly, glutinous rice was hard to digest, but they were out of white rice and she didn’t soak the brown rice. Cornmeal wasn’t nutritious and shouldn’t be eaten too frequently.

So, Lu Jiao made glutinous rice and vegetable porridge. The glutinous rice was a gift from the village leader.

After she was done, she poured the food into four bowls and set them on the table. She went to the east bedroom to call the four little ones to dinner.

“Come out and eat.”

The four little ones didn’t move. Lu Jiao grunted and the four little guys remembered what she said at noon and quickly came out.

The First Born walked to her and looked up at her, “Then, feed daddy some food.”

Lu Jiao saw his determined face and how he was doing his best to mimic Xie Yunjin’s cold demeanor. In actuality, however, he was very much anxious.

Lu Jiao found this hilarious. He was only a silly kid yet he pretended to be an adult. She raised her hand and rubbed the First Born’s head.

“Enough now. I will feed your daddy. You guys go and eat.”

The First Born was in shock. This evil woman dared to touch his head.

Behind him, the Fourth Born walked over. He gawked at her, then gawked at her hand.

Lu Jiao understood him immediately. He wanted a pat on the head as well.

Lu Jiao’s grin widened. What an amazing baby he was. She raised her hand and patted the Fourth Born’s head, “Good boy. You guys go eat and I will get some food to feed your dad.”

The four little beans finally went to eat. Lu Jiao fetched a bowl of glutinous rice and vegetable porridge to feed Xie Yunjin,

Because Xie Yunjin would lay in bed all day, he didn’t digest well. So, Lu Jiao didn’t get too much food.

“I didn’t have time to make chicken soup. I’ll make it for you tomorrow.”

However, the man in the bed ignored her words and slightly nudged his body away.

“You get out and eat. I don’t need you to feed me.”

Dark lines appeared on Lu Jiao’s face. In hindsight, she realized why Xie Yunjin acted so strange. She thought about it carefully and realized that after this guy got injured, he’d eaten very little. Why was that?

“Xie Yunjin, what are you playing at? You’re critically wounded, how can you not eat? I remember now – for the last few days, you’ve only eaten very little as well. You also always have a lot of leftovers.”

The air around Xie Yunjin turned colder. Depression started to cloud his eyes as he spat in anger, “That’s not your business. Get out and eat.”

Lu Jiao ignored him. The sick had the right to act unreasonably.

“If you don’t eat, what will happen to the four babies? If something were to happen to you, who would take care of them?”

Xie Yunjin’s heart quivered a little as his fingers quietly tightened into a fist. He remained silent and his entire being appeared solemn and dejected.

Lu Jiao stared at him and a light flicked off in her head. Could it be because of the washroom issue?

The once glorious scholar was now paralyzed in bed and needed a.s.sistance to relieve himself. It was a given that he wouldn’t be comfortable with that.

Lu Jiao blinked. That must be a hard knot to untie for many paralyzed patients.

“Xie Yunjin, could it be that you are not eating because of your inability to use the washroom?”

Xie Yunjin’s body trembled. His handsome and slender face was now full of dark lines. He snapped his head around and gawked at Lu Jiao cruelly.

“What are you talking about?”

Though he didn’t understand what she meant by “going to the washroom”, he could vaguely guess what she meant. His expression was now indescribably ugly.

Lu Jiao didn’t get scared off by him. With a heavy heart, she said, “Xie Yunjin, you are already heavily wounded. Though you’re enduring by taking the medicine and you may be feeling somewhat alright, your physical body is actually doing very poorly. Do you know how unwell your face looks? You are not showing any signs of color. If this state continues, not only will you not heal, you will likely die due to your own doing.”

“I understand why you’re doing this. The once glorious scholar is now paralyzed in bed and requires a.s.sistance to use the washroom. This situation is far too embarra.s.sing. But think about it, everyone gets sick sometimes. This is nothing. You need to think more about the quadruplets. They’re worried daily about your health and don’t dare to leave your side, terrified that something might happen to you. If something does happen to you, aren’t you afraid they’ll be traumatized?”

Lu Jiao’s words somewhat changed the expression of the man in bed. However, when he looked up and saw Lu Jiao, his face quickly turned gloomy. He frowned and said in a heavy voice, “Lu Jiao, I am in this state all because of you. If I wasn’t so worried that you’d hit the kids while I was away, I never would’ve taken an overnight trip to rush home. I wouldn’t have run into a horse carriage in town and gotten hurt like this.”

Lu Jiao listened to his furious words and didn’t explain herself. She nodded, “Yes. This is all my fault. Since you blame me, then why not take this chance to revenge yourself? Why not make me take care of your meals and help you go pee? Isn’t that the best revenge against me?”

Lu Jiao’s words strike Xie Yunjin’s brain like thunder.

That was right. He was paralyzed in bed. This woman had to take on most of the responsibilities. It was her responsibility to take care of him.

Xie Yunjin thought about it and looked over to the porridge in Lu Jiao’s hand.

Lu Jiao didn’t speak more, terrified that he would find something else to argue over. She quickly started to feed him.

After the majority of the food went into his tummy, she stopped. He had barely eaten for several days and wouldn’t digest well if he ate too much at once. That would cause bloating.

“I’m going to brew your medicine. If you need to pee or something, call me. I’ll be in the kitchen next door.”

Lu Jiao got up to leave. Behind her, Xie Yunjin stared at her unkindly. This woman continued to talk about peeing. How indecent.

In the kitchen, the four little ones finished eating. When they saw Lu Jiao enter with an empty bowl, their faces instantly relaxed.

They got up and started to run outside. Behind them, Lu Jiao couldn’t help but warn them, “Slow down.”

She washed the dishes in the kitchen and started to brew medicine in a crock. As she sat and waited, she felt her body ache all over. There wasn’t a single spot on her body that felt well. Once she sat down, she didn’t want to move.

This body of hers has been far too lazy. It caused her to be in pain every time she moved. Even though it hurt, she did not plan to give up on her diet.
