First Assistant's Petite Wife Has Space

Chapter 52: Teach them a Lesson

Translator: CokeZero Editor: Rainystars

Lady Tian’s eyes reddened. Other than the fact that she lent her daughter money to help out her son-in-law, she had another intention. If her son-in-law could heal enough to sit up straight, then as a scholar, he would be able to accept pupils in the future and become a teacher. All the children from the Lu family could go study under him. Even if they don’t end up scholars, they would have more options in life if they learned how to read.

Sadly, the entire family was short-sighted and all blamed her for lending out money.

She could make peace with her sons and daughters-in-law whining. But her own husband blamed her too.

That was the part that hurt Lady Tian the most. She married Lu Danian back then because he was a humble and responsible man who treated her well. If he didn’t, she never would’ve married him. She knew from a young age that this man wasn’t going to be good at making big money.

All she wanted was a tranquil life. Yet in the end, not only was he incapable, he even complained and blamed her when something bad happened.

The more Lady Tian looked at Lu Danian, the less attractive she found him.

Lu Jiao skimmed across the yard and continued coldly, “Since you are so unhappy with mother, I am going to take her away. Other than her three sons, she also has a daughter. I will take care of her from now on.”

This time, Lu Ping, Lu An, and Lu Gui’s faces all dropped. If their mother ended up being taken care of by her only daughter instead of her three sons, the whole world would curse them to death.

Lu Jiao turned to Lady Tian, “Mom, come and live with me.”

Lady Tian was angry and only wanted to get away so she nodded, “Sounds good.”

This time, Lu Danian’s face changed, “Tian Hua, what are you doing? I simply complained a little. Do you have to react this way?”

Lu Jiao glared at him angrily, “Those closest to you hurt you the most. Your whining is the reason why mom is so sad. She’s been with you for so many years and never complained about you. But in the end, you complained about her.”

Lu Danian’s expression changed as he didn’t expect his own daughter to lecture him. But he didn’t dare to curse in front of Tian Hua.

Lu Jiao went back to the east bedroom and got her basket. She originally brought with her a basket full of stuff – a deer, a wild rabbit, over five pounds of rice and flour, plus a pound of candy.

Who knew the Lu family treated her mother so poorly? Why should she give them all this good stuff now? She rather toss all this food to dogs.

“Mom, let’s go.”

Lady Tian went to her room to pack. Inside the yard, everyone became flustered. Lu Danian went inside the bedroom to sweet-talk his wife.

Pity that Lady Tian was really furious this time. She only packed two sets of clothes and headed out with Lu Jiao.

The Lu family’s three sons blocked them. Lu Gui angrily criticized Lu Jiao, “Lu Jiao, you should be talking sense into mother instead of fueling the fire. Just what are you doing?”

Lu Jiao was impatient as she shouted back, “As mother’s sons, you make her sad. From now on, she lives with me.”

Lu Jiao didn’t truly want to cut ties with the Lu family. She just wanted to teach them a lesson so they stop taking advantage of Lady Tian.

If she didn’t do this, they may get into the habit of blaming Lady Tian when anything goes wrong.

Of course, she had to set them straight today.

Lu Jiao pushed Lu Gui away and then left with Lady Tian.

Behind them, second sister-in-law Hu Xiang sharply saw Lu Jiao’s basket full of stuff. She even managed to see that there was meat in there.

Hu Xiang was greedy for the goods and jumped in to soothe, “Mom, please don’t be angry. We were wrong. It was our fault. Sister, stop being angry. Help us calm down mom.”

Lu jiao didn’t even acknowledge her and walked on

Behind them, Lu Danian’s face was scrunched up and he was extremely anxious. He’s been married to Lady Tian for so many years and they’ve never separated. Now, Lady Tian was leaving out of the blue and he didn’t know what to do with himself.

Lu Gui decided to pursue Lu Jiao.

But this time, he didn’t dare to stop them and only followed from a distance.

In the front, the adrenaline for her own impulsive decision wore off, and Lady Tian started to worry.

If she went to her daughter’s place, wouldn’t her son-in-law get angry? What if he got mad at her own daughter?

Lady Tian regretted her own decision. Everything was okay so why did she freak out in front of Lu Jiao? Back then, when she saw the silver, all she could think of was to hit the men with it.

Lady Tian looked over to Lu Jiao, “Jiaojiao, is it bad for me to go to your home with you?”

Behind them, Lu Gui heard that and instantly opened his mouth, “Mom, let’s go home. Come, let’s go back.”

Lu Jiao, however, grabbed onto Lady Tian and acted spoiled, “Mom, your son-in-law is bedridden. I have to take care of him and my four children. It’s so tiring. Can you come and help me out? Ah right, last time, I went into town to buy things and because nobody was home, the four babies got beaten up by someone. If you can come with me, you can help keep an eye on everyone when I’m away.”

Lady Tian’s heart ached after she learned of that. She agreed immediately and ignored her son.

Her eldest and second eldest sons were prime examples of men who forget their mothers after they married.

Only her daughter would fight on her behalf.

Lady Tian knew that her daughter offended the whole family to help her out.

“Okay, then I will go and help you out.”

Behind them, Lu Gui’s face turned ugly. Just what was happening? By now, he had realized that his sister was not to be messed with.

Lu Jiao continued to pretend Lu Gui didn’t exist. She pretended to dig into her basket, and took out two pieces of baked goods from her space. She handed Lady Tian a piece and kept one for herself.

“Mom, eat some. I bought some red bean cake last time.”

Lady Tian declined, “I’m not hungry. Save it for the babies.”

Lu Jiao forcefully pushed it into Lady Tian’s hand, “Eat. We don’t lack food at home.”

She then explained, “Mom, I now know how to set traps and hunt. See, this is a deer that fell into my trap. And that is a wild rabbit. I originally brought all this for you guys but since they have been treating you poorly, I am taking all of this back. Tonight, I will make a spicy rabbit dish for you.”

Lady Tian stared at the deer in Lu Jiao’s basket in awe. So her daughter managed to earn money from ganoderma and she learned to hunt? Oh wow, how amazing.

When did her daughter become so amazing?

Lady Tian inquired while still in awe, “Jiaojiao, when did you learn all this? Tell me.”

Lu Jiao thought about it, “I learned it all from Yunjin’s books.”

“No wonder people need to learn how to read. Books are great things. Even my own daughter is learning from them and making money.”

Lu Jiao pushed the cake into Lady Tian’s mouth, “Mom, eat. We really don’t lack food at home.”

“Alright, alright.”

Lady Tian ate happily and didn’t even peek at her own son.

Lu Gui watched them eat in jealousy. He himself was famished and felt like his front stomach was touching his back.

Because of that five taels of silver, nobody even cooked a proper meal these past few days. He was a young man and he’s been starving.

Now, these two women acted like he didn’t exist, he sure was sad.

He marched towards them and tried to befriend Lu Jiao, “Sister, do you have more? Give me one.”

Lu Jiao glared at him and snickered, “Don’t call me that. I’m not your sister.”
