First Assistant's Petite Wife Has Space

108 Someone to Help Around the House

Lu Jiao snickered and responded fiercely, “Mother, how come I never knew we had this cousin?”

This mother truly had issues. If she wanted another wife for Xie Yunjin, she should’ve found a prettier or smarter one. Why did she find someone so ugly? This was like jalapeno to her son’s eyes. He’s always had a high standard and would never show interest in someone like that.

As Lu Jiao silently vented, she checked out Zhou Xiaotao and concluded that she was similar to Shen Xiu. They were both weak-looking women who pretended to be naive.

At least Shen Xiu was very good-looking. This woman here had nothing to show for it. She was already 17 to 18 years old with a very thin frame. Her face was very average and she had absolutely no curves. She was, however, quite an actor.

Sadly, she had no idea how ugly she looked at the moment. Her tears had rubbed off much of the powder, which made her face look blotchy. Her face was now in patches of white and yellow and was very displeasing to the eyes.

The four little ones formed a circle and mumbled together.

“She’s so ugly.”

“She looks like a ghost.”

“She looks scarier than a ghost.”

“I’ve never met someone so ugly.”

The four little ones thought they were whispering but everyone heard them.

Zhou Xiaotao cried harder while Lady Ruan scolded the children, “First Born, what are you going on about?! This is your aunt, how can you be so disrespectful towards your aunt?!”

The four little ones ignored Lady Ruan and looked at Lu Jiao.

Lu Jiao was calm, “Mom, I don’t remember having this cousin. How come she didn’t attend my wedding ceremony with Yunjin?”

Lady Ruan wanted to scratch this woman’s eyes out.

This b!tch! It was all because of her that her son was no longer attached to his family. There was no other reason. Before her son had always complied with all her requests yet now, he was so inconsiderate.

Though Lady Ruan hated Lu Jiao, she’s never won against her in a fight so she endured.

She faked a smile and said to Lu Jiao, “What do you mean? Your father’s sister is from the Zhou family. This is her uncle’s daughter, which makes her Yunjin’s cousin.”

Lu Jiao finally found out where this cousin came from. This was Xie Yunjin’s aunt’s niece. To get rid of Lu Jiao, this old woman sure put in a lot of work.

Lu Jiao remembered that the Zhou family never interacted with Lady Ruan. Were they talking now because they have something to gain? Why would she send someone from the Zhou family here?

Lu Jiao nonchalantly grinned, “Ah, cousin Zhou. Mother, why did you bring cousin Zhou here?”

Lady Ruan faked yet another smile, “Your mother left, right? It’s too hard for you to take care of my son and my grandchildren at the same time. I brought Xiaotao here to help out.”

The four little ones were the first to object angrily.

“My dad doesn’t need her care.”

“She’s so ugly. My dad wouldn’t like her.”

“My mom knows how to take care of my dad.”

“She’s not welcomed.”

Zhou Xiaotao once again cried. Humiliated, she looked to Xie Yunjin, hoping he would take her side.

Sadly, Xie Yunjin didn’t even spare her a glance. He coldly gawked at Lady Ruan while a storm formed on his face.

Lady Ruan didn’t notice and furiously frowned at the four little ones. She scolded Lu Jiao, “Lu Jiao, how have you been teaching these kids?! If you don’t know how to educate them, I will bring them back and educate them.”

Once those words came out, the air around Lu Jiao changed. Disdain spilled out of her pores as her eyes sharpened, “Mother, how do you think these four kids, educated by me, compare to you as an individual?”

Lady Ruan’s face cooled as she stared back, “Lu Jiao, what do you mean by that?”

The snarl on Lu Jiao’s lips deepened. She may be chubby with a full face but she was dazzling, “So you are fully aware of the kind of person you are. Since you are aware, then don’t tell me how to educate my children. No matter how poorly of a job I am doing, my children will grow up to be better humans than you. No… they’re going to be MUCH better humans than you.”

Lady Ruan’s face turned black right away. She gritted her teeth and cursed, “lu Jiao, how dare you talk to your mother-in-law in this way?!”

No longer looking at Lu Jiao, she turned to Xie Yunjin, “Xie Yunjin, did you see that? This is how your wife treats your old mother. How can you have a wife like this?!”

Xie Yunjin’s dark eyes were cold, distant, and without emotions. His gaze unsettled her.

Very quickly, she used Lu Jiao as a scapegoat for Xie Yunjin’s attitude. That b!tch ruined their relationship! She must make Xiaotao seduce Yunjin and get rid of this b!tch.

Lady Ruan suddenly started to cry and mumbled sadly, “Out of the pureness of my heart, I found someone to help you, yet you treat me like this! I know it was my fault for kicking you out before but I have changed. I’ve been wanting to repair our relationship and I found someone today to make your lives easier. Not only did you not accept my kindness, you are rude to me! How heartless of you!”

Lady Ruan tried to run outside but Lu Jiao spoke up, “Mother, we misunderstood. You brought us a helper, of course, we accept this.”

Lu Jiao was troubled by all the housework she had to do. It was great that Lady Ruan brought someone to her doorstep.

Tomorrow, she would need to teach the villagers and figure out a teaching schedule for the children. On top of that, she needed to take care of the four little ones and Xie Yunjin. Since her mother went home, she had more work than ever. It was good to have a helper.

Lady Ruan had a bad feeling.

Zhou Xiaotao also didn’t like how this sounded. She was here to help Xie Yunjin, not be a helper for the whole family. This made her sound like a servant.

As she was about to speak, the Village and Clan Leaders, and a few elders walked in.

They realized right away that something was off.

The Village and Clan leaders saw Lady Ruan and knew that she was out here to cause trouble again. The Clan Leader was the first to speak, “What are you doing here?”

This time, Lu Jiao answered, “Clan Leader, mother noticed that I have a lot of housework so she found me a helper.”

Lady Ruan and Zhou Xiaotao’s faces dropped. Zhou Xiaotao wanted to speak but the Clan Leader beat her to it, “You have such a good heart?”

Lady Ruan was a little afraid of the leaders. They’ve never liked her and wanted Xie Laogen to leave her. She couldn’t afford to get on their bad side today.

Lady Ruan winked at Zhou Xiaotao and immediately replied, “Yes, I noticed that my third daughter-in-law is very tired so I found someone to help out around the house.”
