First Assistant's Petite Wife Has Space

Strictly on Guard

Lu Jiao then walked out with the empty bowl. Behind her, Xie Yunjin glanced at her silhouette but didn’t take her words seriously.

Because Xie Erzhu didn’t show up, Lu Jiao worried that Xie Yunjin may need something overnight. So she grabbed some sheets and slept in the east bedroom.

This time, neither Xie Yunjin nor the quadruplets fought her over it. They had silently accepted her decision.

The moment Lu Jiao lied down, her eyelids started to fight themselves. She was so tired she could barely keep her eyes open.

However, up on the bed, Xie Yunjin didn’t seem to be able to sleep. He tossed and turned occasionally, which forced Lu Jiao to ask, “Are you thirsty?”

“No.”

“Then, are you hungry?”

“Am I a pig?”

“Then why are you moving?”

“Did I bother you?”

Lu Jiao was too lazy to pay attention to this troublesome man. She closed her eyes and was ready to sleep. Then, her brain flickered and she thought that Xie Yunjin moved around like this because he needed to use the washroom but was too shy to ask for help.

She quickly turned her head and looked at the man on the bed, “Could it be that you need to use the washroom but are too embarrassed to ask?”

By now, Xie Yunjin knew what she meant by “washroom”. It was true, he wanted to pee but didn’t want to tell Lu Jiao. This was why he continued to toss around and couldn’t sleep.

Xie Yunjin didn’t speak but Lu Jiao knew that he wanted to use the washroom. Speechless, she made a face. What an annoying man. Would he die if he asked for help? Why did he have to be difficult?

Lu Jiao yawned as she crawled off the floor. She walked to the bed and took out the urinal from underneath the bed. She then extended her arm to pull up Xie Yunjin’s clothes.

Xie Yunjin’s face drastically changed and he grabbed onto his clothes.

With his eyes dark and cloudy, he stared at Lu Jiao and sneered, “What do you think you’re doing?”

Lu Jiao was confused, “I’m helping you pee.”

Xie Yunjin’s brows subconsciously grew tense, “Give me the urinal. I will do this myself.”

Lu Jiao was speechless as she stared at him. This delicate and handsome face of his was almost frosty and those dark eyes on him exuded with cold air. The angry way he looked at her was like she was a pervert who provoked a young woman.

Lu Jiao was unhappy as she continued to stare. Was he so strictly on guard because he thought of himself as some kind of a prize? Did he think she wanted to take care of him?

Annoyed, Lu Jiao handed Xie Yunjin the urinal.

[If you can do it yourself, do it yourself.]

Lu Jiao retreated two steps and turned around. That would be enough for him, right?

Sadly, she waited for a long while but heard no noises.

No longer able to suppress herself, she asked angrily, “Why aren’t you doing it?”

She was so sleepy after such a hard day.

Behind her, Xie Yunjin’s face clouded over. It took him some time to finally speak through his teeth, “I can’t do it with you in this room. Get out.”

Lu Jiao rolled her eyes and walked out. The moment she left the room, she heard noises from inside, and only when all sounds subsided, did she return. She took the urinal back from Xie Yunjin’s hand.

This time, Xie Yunjin didn’t object and gave it back to her.

He was wounded because of her. So it was natural that she took care of him. She should take care of him.

Lu Jiao didn’t find this dirty. As a military doctor, she frequently dealt with this stuff. This was very normal.

Lu Jiao took the urinal outside and dumped it. Then, she rinsed it in the yard with water and left it there to air out the smell.

Once she was done, she cleaned her hands and went back to sleep.

On the bed, Xie Yunjin saw that Lu Jiao was ready to sleep and said unhappily, “I haven’t washed my hands.”

Lu Jiao very much wanted to say, enough already!

But she recalled how violent the future First Assistant could get and accepted her fate. She fetched some water and washed Xie Yunjin’s hands. By the time she was done, it was late into the night and the family finally slept in silence.

The next day, when the sun had just started to rise, Lu Jiao got up to go up the mountains. Not only could she lose weight this way, but she could also come back with some firewood.

Up on the mountain, she went to check out the trap she set up yesterday to see if there’s been any more prey.

Who knew that there really was an animal inside the trap. A wild boar that was over 100 pounds and hasn’t been dead for too long.

Lu Jiao was ecstatic and she pulled up the wild boar.

She won’t find firewood today then. Instead, she’ll bring the boar to the market and sell it.

This boar was so big it would be impossible for the family to finish. So it would be better to sell it.

Since she has space, the boar wouldn’t go bad if she placed it there. However, she didn’t want to kill this animal, so it was better to sell it.

Should she put this boar into her space and then secretly sell it, or should she make a big deal out of this by bringing this boar back home?

Lu Jia thought it over and decided to bring this boar back home. Because she will need to buy Xie Yunjin medicine and buy food for the four little ones right after.

If people didn’t see how she made her money, the villagers would make up all sorts of rumors as to how she got it.

Lu Jiao happily went down the mountain with the boar on her back. Once she was close to her home, she heard an excited cry come from her front gate.

“Oh my god, is… is that a wild boar?”

Lu Jiao looked up and found Lady Zhao staring at her and her wild boar with an astonished expression.

Before Lu Jiao could speak, the neighbors heard the commotion and all rushed out to see.

Everyone was in awe and Xie Xiaobao happily ran around while he screamed, “Wow, third aunt, you’re so great. Did you hunt this wild boar?”

Lu Jiao looked at Xie Xiaobao and smiled, “I set up a trap earlier. I didn’t expect it but I caught a wild boar.”

Just then, Lady Zhao snapped back to reality. She stared at how easily Lu Jiao was carrying this wild boar and her scalp went numb. Just how strong was she? How strong could she get if she was in a physical fight?

Lady Zhao’s heart trembled as she mumbled silently to never wrong Lu Jiao. If Lu Jiao ever punches her, she may just lose half her life.

Lady Zhao thought about it and started to wave around the eggs in her hand, “I brought you some eggs.”

Lu Jiao declined instantly, “Ah, sister, there’s no need.”

Lady Zhao insisted, “You saved our Xiaobao yesterday and refused to take any money. Don’t reject these few eggs. If you don’t accept them, then you don’t see me as family.”

Lu Jiao thought about it and did not decline again. It was true that she saved Xie Xiaobao. And it was not a big deal to eat a few of their eggs.

Lu Jiao walked into her yard with the boar on her back. Behind her, Lady Zhao followed with an unexplained troubled expression.

Xie Xiaobao didn’t understand why his mother was so scared. He followed Lu Jiao into the yard and pursued, “Third aunty, how did you make your trap? You’re so capable. Can you teach me?”

Lady Zao’s face went dark. There was no way someone would share their hunting strategy.

Lady Zhao was about to scold Xie Xiaobao when Lu Jiao said, “Sure. I will teach you later.”

The reason why she was able to catch a wild boar wasn’t only because of the trap. It was also due to the baits she used that had been brushed with the spiritual stream. That water had the ability to draw in prey.

Lady Zhao didn’t know that and was touched, “Yunjin’s wife, ignore him.”

Xie Xiaobao angrily turned his head to glare at his mom, “Mother.”
