First Assistant's Petite Wife Has Space Chapter 22

Chapter 22

Leave it up to the Heavens

After hearing what Lu jiao had said, Xie Lu started to manage the sale of the meat.

Lu Jiao brought the dirty dishes to the kitchen to wash. She then brewed medicine for Xie Yunjin. As she brewed, she thought about how she’ll go into the city to sell the ganoderma this afternoon and would return late, she brewed an extra portion for tonight.

Outside, Xie Hu was more than occupied with the sale of the pork. These days, the people lacked oil, and therefore, the fatty parts of the boar were the easiest to sell. The ribs, legs, and organs were harder to sell.

Though the boar was large in size, it couldn’t meet all the demand. It didn’t take long for the entire boar to almost be sold. The last bit was s.n.a.t.c.hed by Lu Jiao.

“This part isn’t for sale.”

The part Lu Jiao managed to take was around one pound. It wasn’t right for Xie Hu to leave with nothing after he helped her with the boar and all.

Lu Jiao gave Xie Hu the pound of pork she s.n.a.t.c.hed, then gifted him an additional two pounds of ribs and a pork hock.

“Thank you for your help today.”

The reason why Lu Jiao killed the boar and sold the meat was that she wanted to establish good relationships with the villagers. After all, she’ll live here for a while and her four little ones will need to play around with the other kids.

This place was Xie Yunjin’s roots. If any bad rumors about him get out, it may negatively affect his future.

As for Xie Laogen’s family… Lu Jiao wasn’t worried. They were the ones who exiled Xie Yunjin here.

Xie Hu looked at the meat Lu Jiao gave him and searched for his money. Lu Jiao stopped him, “Just take it. Or else I’ll be too scared to ask you for help in the future.”

The Second Grandma noticed Lu Jiao’s personality and knew how she hated to owe anyone favors. She was good-natured so why did she act like that in the past?

The Second Grandma couldn’t understand this and said to Xie Hu, “Alright, it’s a gift from your third aunty-in-law. Just take it.”

Xie Hu happily responded, “OK.”

After Xie Hu left, the Second Grandma noticed something. Lu Jiao had sold the entire boar and there was no meat left for the family.

“You’re all out of meat?”

Lu Jiao froze. She lifted her head and saw the four little ones pout in the corner and stand around sadly.

The four little ones met Lu Jiao’s gaze and ran away. It appeared that they were angry.

Lu Jiao found this funny and said to the Second Grandma, “We still got the head, ribs, hocks, and the organs.”

All the stuff the villagers didn’t want.

The Second Grandma sighed, “Those aren’t anything good. There’s no fat on those parts.”

Lu Jiao didn’t think so. Braised pork ribs, pork hock stew with beans, braised pig head, and braised intestines… All those dishes were yummy.

It was true that she lacked spices though. Where would she find peppercorn, bay leaves, and anise?

Lu Jiao smiled at the Second Grandma, “All those can be made into tasty dishes. Once I cook it, I will give you some to try.”

“Alright, then you should clean this up.” The Second Grandma looked at the pile of mess and asked caringly, “Should I ask Chunyan to come and help?”

Lu Jiao shook her head, “No it’s okay. I can do it.”

Xie Hu did a good job and there wasn’t that much left to clean.

After some more chitchats, the Second Grandma left. Lu Jiao turned to go to the east bedroom and found the four little ones listless by the head of the bed. When they saw Lu Jiao come in, they looked away and avoided her. It was obvious that they were mad but they didn’t dare to say it.

Lu Jiao said, “You’re angry? There’s still meat left.”

The First Born flashed her a look and whispered, “Those are meat n.o.body else wanted. They don’t taste good.”

Lu Jiao smiled and said, “If I cook it, you still think it wouldn’t taste good? Did you find anything I made you these few days bad tasting?”

The four little ones shook their heads. This evil woman’s cooking was delicious – much better than what the Xie family was capable of making.

Lu Jiao continued, “I can make what we have into really tasty food. Do not worry. Plus, did you forget that we also have two chickens and a rabbit? Today, I’ll make you chicken soup first.”

Her words brightened the four little ones’ eyes. They stopped being mad.

Lu Jiao was about to leave since that’s been dealt with. When she turned and saw Xie Yunjin’s tense expression and frigid body, she went up and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable somewhere?”

Xie Yunjin stared at her, opened his mouth but then shook his head. His expression, however, remained unpleasant.

Lu Jiao remembered how he acted when he needed to use the washroom before. Could it be that he needed to pee again?

“You need to pee?”

Xie Yunjin shook his head but remained speechless. Lu Jiao thought about it and remembered that these past few days, Xie Yunjin hasn’t p.o.o.ped. He likely wanted to p.o.o.p.

“You want to p.o.o.p?”

Lu Jiao’s words changed Xie Yunjin’s expression. His face turned from green to black, then back to green.

Lu Jiao understood based on his reaction. However, she hasn’t had a chance to make a simple toilet with the bamboo leaves she got from the mountains. What should she do?

Lu jiao stared at Xie Yunjin and thought about it. Currently, the biggest issue was that Xie Yunjin had a concussion and couldn’t move. Every little movement resulted in extreme dizziness and nausea. His broken ribs and internal bleeding, on the other hand, could be endured.

“What if I bring a bucket inside? I’ll help you and you can sit on it.”

That was the only way.

Xie Yunjin didn’t decline. He had no other option and he was sure he couldn’t hold it in much longer.

Lu Jiao went outside to get a bucket.

Inside the room, Xie Yunjin was hopeless and accepted his fate. With his eyes closed, he decided to leave everything up to the heavens.

Lu Jiao didn’t laugh at him. This was a critical issue with most disabled patients. Some people were unable to do it while bedridden so they just held it in.

Lu Jiao walked to the bed and picked Xie Yunjin up.

Xie Yunjin widened his eyes in shock, “What are you doing?”

Lu Jiao was speechless and her lips stretched out, “Helping you up. How do you get down otherwise?”

Xie Yunjin struggled, “Put me down. I can do it myself.”

Lu Jiao remembered the night when this man got out of bed to kill her. Her face froze a little.

However, she didn’t let Xie Yunjin go and continued to hold him. It wasn’t that she wanted to do it, it was that this man was so injured that any major movement could worsen the situation.

“Enough now. If you struggle any more, you are going to pa.s.s out.”

If it weren’t for the spiritual stream water that’s been conditioning him, he would’ve died or became fully paralyzed after that night’s chaos.

The only reason he was still alive was because she’s been secretly feeding him the stream water.

Lu Jiao then picked up Xie Yunjin princess style.

Xie Yunjin was in shock. This was the first time he first hand experienced Lu Jiao’s strength. This woman was this strong? How come he never noticed this before?

Lu Jiao carried Xie Yunjin to the bucket and put him down. She then started to untie Yunjin’s pants.

Xie Yunjin was astonished and pressed onto her hands. His lips were pursed as he stared at Lu Jiao coldly.

It was as if Lu Jiao was an ill-willed female pervert.
