First Assistant's Petite Wife Has Space

Chapter 30

Scamming

Lu Jiao’s face subconsciously turned cold. Xie Yunjin was internally bleeding yet still struggled his way out of bed and into the yard. The damage to his body grew more severe and that was why he vomited blood.

Lu Jiao then saw the four little ones who stood in the yard. Each one of them had messed-up hair and ripped-up clothes. There were also cuts and bruises on their faces.

When the four little ones saw Lu Jiao appear, they suddenly felt so wronged and sad and exploded into cries. They shrieked and wept, heartbroken.

In giant leaps, Lu Jiao went up to the four little ones and rubbed their heads. She then turned and went to Xie Yunjin and carried him back into the east bedroom.

When she showed up, Xie Yunjin suddenly felt relieved and his mind went blank.

While he fought to stay awake, he said, “Don’t be nice to them.”

Lu Jiao was strong, Xie Yunjin knew that. His statement meant he wanted Lu Jiao to teach Widow Li a hard lesson.

Obviously, Lu Jiao understood what he meant and with a heavy expression, she nodded, “I know what to do. You need to rest. Don’t worry, I will teach them a lesson.”

With another sigh of relief, Xie Yunjin passed out.

Lu Jiao knew he’d been fighting to move and now, he had finally used up all his energy.

If it weren’t for the fact that she had nourished him with the spiritual stream water, he probably would’ve died moving around like that.

But she was here now and he would be fine.

With a quick movement, Lu Jiao fed Xie Yunjin some more stream water. This time, she was generous with the amount. Since Xie Yunjin was passed out anyway, he wouldn’t know that she fed him water.

The stream water was highly effective so Xie Yunjin’s body will repair itself very quickly.

Just then, outside the room, Widow Li’s shrill voice spread.

“You dead fat woman, this isn’t over. Look at how your four bastards wounded my Daniu and Erniu! You will need to compensate me with money. Until you compensate me, this isn’t over. We are not going to let this go.”

Right after she spoke, Lu Jiao heard the Second Born’s crying voice, “You cursed old widow! Don’t you dare think about scamming us. Our money is saved to cure daddy’s sickness. It’s your Daniu who came over today to steal our stuff. She deserved to be hit!”

After the Second Born cursed, the Third Born’s angry voice arose, “Oh my god, lord do you even want me to be alive? I cannot live like this. Lord, just take me away!”

While Lu Jiao was furious, the curses the little ones spat out made her temples jolt.

She felt like the way the children cursed and cried sounded familiar. She thought about it and realized that the original host often spoke like that. Therefore, these two little fellas learned from her.

Lu Jiao left the room.

Outside the room, Widow Li jumped towards the two young boys and cursed dirtily at them, “You bastards, how dare you speak to me like this? I am going to beat you two sons of b!tches. Your dad is disabled and your mom is going to abandon you soon. How dare you scream at me? Watch me beat you two to death!”

Widow Li then raised her arm to hit the boys but the villagers pulled her away. The Second Grandma’s family then went to protect the quadruplets.

Xie Xiaobao was enraged and pointed his finger at Widow Li, “You’re here to con us! Your Daniu and Erniu came here today to steal yet you think you’re in the right? Also, Daniu and Erniu hit the four children, and Wang Gousheng from your family also came to hit the children. Gousheng is already 10 years old yet he hits little kids. Are you not embarrassed? Even I am embarrassed for you.”

Widow Li heard Xie Xiaobao’s words and jumped up three inches. She spat out, “You are talking trash! Who saw my Gousheng hit anyone? Who? I only saw my Daniu and Erniu getting hurt. So this family must pay up!”

Lu Jiao coldly asked Widow Li, “You want my family to pay you?”

Before Widow Li could speak, her daughter, Shen Xiu grabbed her hand, “Mom, let’s go back. Stop this.”

Widow Li fought off Shen Xiu’s hand and cursed, “Get away!”

Then, she dragged Shen Daniu and Shen Erniu out.

The quadruplets may be hurt, but Shen Daniu and Shen Erniu were in way worse conditions. Not only were their bodies bruised, but there was blood on their faces. One of them lost a tooth while the other had a cracked nose. They looked miserable and couldn’t even stand up steadily while they were dragged by Widow Li.

Lu Jiao could tell by one glance that there was no way these two girls were hurt by the quadruplets. The quadruplets were malnourished and very weak. There was no way they had enough strength to hurt two girls like this.

It was most likely the Shen family who had hit their children and blamed it on the quadruplets. They did this to scam their money.

Widow Li pointed at Shen Daniu and Shen Erniu and said to Lu Jiao, “Look at the state my children are in. Their faces are hurt, they’ve lost teeth, and their eyes are swollen. You have to pay up so we can go see a doctor.”

Lu Jiao peeked at the girls and remembered that they beat her four children. For them to be hit by the Shen family was deserved.

She ignored Widow Li and turned to the quadruplets, “Tell me, what happened?”

The First Born stepped out and spoke first.

“You asked us to keep an eye on our home today, so we squatted in the kitchen. We saw Shen Daniu sneak into our backyard and into the kitchen. She ran in, took our eggs and chicken, and ran out. I stopped her from escaping so she screamed for her cousin Wang Gousheng and Shen Erniu.”

“Then, the three of them beat us together. We couldn’t defend ourselves so we screamed until they ran away. After that, their grandma came over to ask us for money.”

Though the First Born was very young, he spoke clearly. His words made the villagers understand what had happened.

A lot of people had guessed what Widow Li intended. She likely thought that since Yunjin’s wife sold a boar and earned some money, she could scam that money out of her. Also, Shen Daniu and Shen Erniu were so wounded. How could the little quadruplets hit them that hard?

It was just that Widow Li was very difficult to deal with. She obviously wanted money from Yunjin and that was why she hit her grandchildren so hard.

The crowd worriedly looked over to Lu Jiao.

Lu Jiao remembered the day she transmigrated here because the original host died. That day, the original host suspected the quadruplets stole her eggs. It looked like those eggs were stolen by Shen Daniu. Shen Daniu succeeded once and so she came back for a second time.

Lu Jiao coldly looked at Widow Li and said in a low voice, “Widow Li, where are you standing right now?”

Widow Li was thrown off, “Your home.”

Lu Jiao snickered, “Ignoring whether or not your grandchildren were hurt by my children, your grandchildren were thieves first. They deserved to be hit. They deserve to get hurt and even deserve to be hit to death.”

“Why don’t you go to the judge and ask what happens to thieves? Thieves caught in the act are often struck to death. Those who kill the thieves are considered to be innocent. The ones who caught the thieves today were these four young children.”

As Lu Jiao continued, she walked up to Widow Li, “You sent thieves to another person’s home. Then afterward, you shamelessly come over to deceive people in that person’s home? Haha, you sure dare to dream big.”
