First Assistant’s Petite Wife Has Space Chapter 33

Chapter 33

Lu Jiao Educating her Sons
Lu Jiao then checked out the four little ones and found cuts on all of their faces and bodies. Luckily, there were no broken bones or sprained muscles. Since they were so young and their skin was so tender, they scarred and bruised very easily.
Though they appeared very hurt, they were relatively okay. The two daughters from the Shen family were way more hurt.
Lu Jiao had no time to pity others. Everyone has their fate and she was no saint.
“If this stuff happens again, don’t fight them on the spot. Just let her take the eggs and wait for me to come home to deal with her. You are all so small and if they hit you, they’re likely to win the fight.”
The First Born looked up at her and said with a serious expression, “You asked us to watch the chicken and the eggs before you left today. So we couldn’t just let her take them.”
Lu Jiao froze. This was all because she asked something of them? She felt a little bitter.
“Ah, I understand. You guys did well today. In the future, don’t put yourself in a disadvantageous position again.”
Then, she pulled eight candies out of her sleeve and handed them to the four little ones, “Here is the candy I promised you. Two each.”
The four little ones stared at them. Wow, this really was candy.
All the sour spots on their bodies suddenly stopped hurting. The Fourth Born raised his head in surprise, “Mommy, you really brought us candy?”
The Fourth Born’s words petrified the room, including Lu Jiao.
The other three children glared at the Fourth Born.
The Fourth Born was surprised as well. He quickly shot Lu Jiao a look and realized that she wasn’t angry.
He then turned to look at the other three. Before, they had agreed never to call this evil woman their mother. He had broken that pact just now and wondered if his brothers were mad at him.
The Third Born was obviously pissed. He stared down at the Fourth Born angrily before he turned away to ignore him.
The Fourth Born wasn’t sure what to do now. However, when he saw Lu Jiao, he smiled. He called her “mommy” and she didn’t tell him to not do that. He has a mommy now!
“Mommy.”
Lu Jiao thought he needed something and answered, “What is it? Do you need something?”
The Fourth Born shook his head and called again, “Mommy.”
By now, Lu Jiao knew he just wanted to call out to her so she let him. Every time he called out, she responded.
The other three were getting madder and madder and refused to move for a while. Lu Jiao ignored them.
She wiped down their bodies using an old towel and left with the water once the four little ones were clean.
Afterward, the three children all glared at the Fourth Born, “Hmmph, you dare to call her your mom. We agreed to never call her that.”
“I’m going to ignore you now.”
“I’m going to ignore you now too.”
None of the other three children acknowledged the Fourth Born afterward.
Later, Lu Jiao returned with their clothes that she had previously washed and dried for the kids to change into.
It was obvious to her that there was a conflict between the children. However, she pretended not to notice. After she changed them, she took out anti-inflammation medicine and applied it to their wounds. Then, she gathered their old clothes and walked out.
Since the brothers now ignored the Fourth Born, the Fourth Born ran out and grabbed Lu Jiao’s hand, “Mommy.”
Lu Jiao lowered her gaze and looked into his heart-shaped eyes. His eyes were full of affection and admiration. That look softened her heart into mush.
“What is it?”
“Mommy, I want to spend time with you.”
“Okay.” Lu Jiao walked out holding his hand. She originally didn’t mind that the children didn’t refer to her as their mother, because she had no plan to stay here long term. However today, the Fourth Born called her “mom”. This lifted and brightened her mood greatly.
The First Born frowned deeply as he watched this. It was as if he contemplated a life-changing decision.
The Second and Third Born watched him and waited for him to make a decision.
Outside, Lu Jiao fetched a fresh bucket of water to clean Xie Yunjin with. She had no idea how he managed to make his way outside, but his entire body was dusty and dirty. He even got blood on it. It was for the best to clean him up and get him into new clothes.
Luckily today, she bought him two new sets of clothes.
Lu Jiao, along with the Fourth Born, got to the east bedroom and heard the First Born make an important announcement, “If he wants to call that woman mom, then let him. We can just ignore him.”
Lu Jiao entered with the water and said in an unpleasant tone, “It doesn’t matter what you refer to me as, I am your mother. Don’t bully the Fourth Born.”
The Second and Third Born felt they have been wronged, “You were the one who told us not to call you that.”
Their words reminded Lu Jiao of all the bad things she’s done before. That was true, the original host didn’t allow them to call her mom. When they did, she would hit them. In the end, the children collectively decided to not call her their mother and would refer to her as “the evil woman”.
Lu Jiao remembered that and dry laughed, “Then I was wrong.”
She was terrified that the children would drag out that conversation, so she changed the subject.
“Second and Third Born, I didn’t get a chance to ask you two – Second Born, who taught you to speak such ugly words? Words like b!tch… who taught you that?”
Lu Jiao was serious as she stared at the Second Born, which scared him a little. However, he had to defend himself, “Those are words you always used to curse at people.”
Lu Jiao’s face turned dark, “I am simply a woman from the countryside who doesn’t know better. Therefore, I sometimes speak rather poorly. You boys are men, why learn from a woman how to curse at people? Do you ever see grown men curse at people the way I do?”
The Second Born thought about it and quickly chimed in, “Shen Daniu’s dad curses like that too.”
This angered Lu Jiao, “Shen Daniu’s dad is not a good man. Nobody in the village thinks anything of him. You want to become a man that’s hated by everyone, even dogs?”
The Second Born shook his head. He wanted to become someone like his father. Before, everyone in the village was so nice to his father.
“If that’s the case, then don’t go around cursing like that. Of course, I will stop cursing like that too.”
Lu Jiao confirmed with the Second Born, “Do you hear me?”
Unconvinced, the Second Born peeked at Lu Jiao, “You really won’t curse anymore?”
“Have I been cursing these last several days?”
The Second Born shook his head. These last few days, the evil woman didn’t curse at anyone and she’s been so nice. She cooked them nice meals, protected them, and even bought them candy.”
The Second Born mumbled, “I got it. I won’t curse anymore.”
Lu Jiao nodded in satisfaction. She then looked over to the Third Born. The Third Born lifted his chest high, “I didn’t curse at anyone.”
Lu Jiao snickered, “Haha, you sure didn’t curse. You sat on the ground and rolled around, saying your life is over.”
Lu Jiao remembered that the original host used to do that and that was where he learned it. So she quickly shut up and hissed, “Don’t do that anymore in the future. You’re a man, so act like one. Have you ever seen your father cry and roll around like that?”
The Third Born shook his head and promised, “I won’t lie on the ground anymore.”
Satisfied, Lu Jiao took the water and walked up to the bed.
