First Assistant's Petite Wife Has Space

93 I only know how to Save People

Seeing that both their mother and father were leaving, the quadruplets got nervous and their little cheeks paled.

The First Born was the most stressed. His lips were pressed together tightly and his entire body was quivering.

Lu Jiao hugged him, then hugged the other three. After that, she said to the First Born, “Don’t worry. I will bring your father back. Don’t worry and wait at home with grandma.”

The First Born nodded violently. With his gaze as clear as the lake, he declared in a serious manner, “Mom, I trust you.”

Lu Jiao was stunned. All this time, the other three children had called her “mother” except the First Born. She had made peace with the fact that this child may never get there before her separation with Xie Yunjin. She didn’t expect him to call her that at a time like this.

Lu Jiao’s heart softened. She hugged onto the First Born and said in a soft voice, “Since you trust mom, then don’t be scared. I will do as I say.”

The First Born’s heart finally calmed down. His mother was a very capable person and she will be able to achieve what she claimed. There was no reason for him to be anxious.

Lu Jiao hugged the other children again and reminded them, “Listen to grandma well. Your dad and I will come back soon.”

The three children responded in unison, “Mommy, we got it.”

Lu Jiao let them go and went into the oxcart. Behind her, Lady Ruan followed. The entire Xie family tried to get in but Lu Jiao blocked their entrance.

“Yunjin is heavily wounded. We cannot have so many people inside. Mother, father, you can come inside. Village Leader, Clan Leader, you can come in too. Lu Gui, you should come as well so you can carry Yunjin out later.”

Lady Ruan wanted to argue. Her heart ached for her fourth son. Though the trip to town wasn’t that far, it also wasn’t close. Her fourth son had never traveled that far on foot.

Lady Ruan’s glare was hostile as she demanded, “This cart is huge. We can fit in two more people.”

Terrified that another fight would break out, Xie Laogen pulled on Lady Ruan’s arm. Lady Ruan let it go but continued to gawk at Lu Jiao with resentment.

Lu Jiao pretended she couldn’t see this and only looked outside to apologize to the villagers, “Sorry everyone. I must apologize for this.”

All the Xie villagers waved around their hands, “This is no big deal. You’re only leaving first and we’ll arrive shortly after. We aren’t that far from Baohe Tang and we’ll get there soon.”

“Yes, yes, Yunjin’s wife, don’t worry.”

In the end, Lu Jiao, Lu Gui, Xiaogen and his wife, Village Leader and Clan Leader took the oxcart to send Xie Yunjin into town.

On the way there, Lady Ruan couldn’t help herself but to get angry at Lu Jiao, “No matter how I see it, you should be the last person to sit in this cart. You’re so huge. If you get off, then we can fit in two to three more people.”

Before Lu Jiao could speak, Xie Yunjin, whose eyes remained closed this whole time, responded coldly, “She is my wife. She’s the only person who has the right to sit here. Ever since I became paralyzed, she’s been the only person who took care of me day after day. I sure didn’t see any one of you there for me during those days.”

Before Lady Ruan could shout back, Xie Yunjin added, “Mother, are you here today to go to surgery with me, or here to fight with me?”

This made Lady Ruan swallow back all her words. Her face, however, burned to black due to anger and her chest heaved up and down.

While she violently glared at her own son, she silently cursed at Lu Jiao.

What a b!tch! How dare that woman disrupt the relationship between a mother and her son?! The only reason why their relationship sucked right now was because of this b!tch in the middle.

It appeared that her son no longer felt obligated to her and the family. Once he passed his exams and became an official, will he still come back home and share the benefits?

No, she had to figure out a way to get rid of this damn woman and find her son someone that was more submissive. Only then, will her son listen to her again.

Those plans helped calm her down.

Xie Yunjin didn’t want to look at her and kept his eyes closed to rest.

Inside the cart, Xie Laogen looked at Xie Yunjin with worry in his eyes. He didn’t share his wife’s confidence that their son would return home. Their son really appeared to have lost faith in this family. What should they do now?

Xie Laogen was worried that if he failed to get his son back, his son would no longer help out the other siblings.

Lu Jiao didn’t want to give those two attention and focused on talking to the Village and Clan Leaders.

The Leaders asked Lu Jiao all about her meeting Dr. Qi yesterday.

“This surgery will likely take a long time?”

“Did Dr. Qi tell you how long it will take?”

Though Xie Yunjin’s eyes were shut, his lashes quivered, making it obvious that he was listening.

Worried that Xie Yunjin’s mood had been dampened by Lady Ruan’s show, Lu Jiao did her best to share the good news.

“The surgery will take around four hours. Based on Dr. Qi’s tone, this surgery isn’t considered to be a major one and no accidents are expected to occur. Dr. Qi also told me that a month after surgery, he will not be able to walk exactly, but he could start practicing standing. Two months after surgery, he should be able to walk normally. Three months after, everything should be back to normal, he should be able to act like normal people, jumping… skipping…”

Lu Jiao shared all this to comfort Xie Yunjin.

She was successful. Her words softened Xie Yunjin’s entire body and happiness seeped out of him. His facial features relaxed and garnered much light, making him look like a painting.

Lu Jiao allowed herself to admire him for a few seconds and silently complimented him. She stopped worrying after.

In the oxcart, the Village and Clan Leaders showed a comparable amount of joy. They laughed and their hearts filled with happiness.

Xie Laogen and his wife, however, gloomed. Lady Ruan couldn’t help but pout and mumble about what a good life her son had.

At Baohe Tang, Qi Lei had already prepared everything. Once the oxcart parked, Qi Lei brought out his guys to greet everyone.

“They’re here. Go in and help the patient.”

Lu Gui exited the cart and carried Xie Yunjin inside.

Xie Yunjin wasn’t used to this and endured.

His other option was to have Lu Jiao carry him. To be carried inside by his wife was a little too embarrassing.

After Xie Yunjin was inside, Dr. Qi hollered for everyone to get out of the room.

“Alright, everyone out. I will handle everything from here.”

Qi Lei glanced at Lu Jiao, who gently gave him a nod to confirm that she will enter the operation room later through the back. Qi Lei received the message.

At the entrance, Lady Ruan’s expression dropped, “Why do you not let us stay here? What if you hurt my son?”

Qi Lei’s eyes narrowed and snapped back unpleasantly, “I am a doctor. I only know how to save people, not hurt people.”

This countryside old woman sure was being difficult.
