First Assistant s Petite Wife Has Space

94 Lu Jiao Operating

Lady Ruan wanted to say more but Xie Laogen stopped her, “Enough.”

The Village and Clan Leaders all glared at Lady Ruan. This sh!t stirrer should be kicked out of this place and sent back to her own village.

The Village Leader said coldly, “Enough, let’s all wait outside and leave everything to Dr. Qi.”

Dr. Qi nodded, “Do not worry. I will do everything I can for him.”

The Leaders all smiled, “Thank you, Dr. Qi.”

“Of course.”

The group went to wait outside. Lu Jiao peeked at the Leaders, “Village Leader, Clan Leader, you haven’t eaten yet, right? Allow my brother and I to get some food for you all.”

The Leaders waved around their hands, “No need, no need.”

Lu Jiao wanted to say more when Lady Ruan interrupted, “Your father and I haven’t eaten. Hurry up and go get us something.”

Lu Jiao ignored her and continued to speak to the Leaders, “Other than you, I’m sure many people skipped breakfast this morning. I’ll go buy some so everyone can eat together once they arrive.”

Without giving others another chance to speak, she left with Lu Gui.

Lu Jiao took Lu Gui to a vendor nearby and bought two giant bags of whole wheat buns – two tokens for three. It wasn’t that she wanted to cheap out on everyone, it was that it felt inappropriate for her to spend a lot of money on the good stuff.

“Take these two bags of buns and give them to everyone to eat. Ask Baohe Tang for some water.”

Lu Giu found this strange, “What about you?”

Lu Jiao patted down her chest, “I’m going to take a stroll around. The thought of your brother-in-law getting cut open in there petrifies me. I’m a little scared and too worried to go back.”

Lu Gui quickly agreed, “Take your time. Try to relax. I’ll go back with all this.”

After Lu Gui left, Lu Jiao turned into a back alley that was connected to Baohe Tang’s backdoor.

Once she got inside, Qi Lei welcomed her, “Master, I fed Lord Xie the medicine you gave me. He’s asleep.”

Lu Jiao’s face darkened. Lord Xie? How ugly.

“Don’t call him that. You can refer to him as the scholar in the future.”

The two headed for Xie Yunjin’s room as they chatted.

Outside the room, Lu Jiao ordered Qi Lei, “Ask someone to guard this place, and don’t let anyone in. You come in here later to care for him post-surgery.”

Qi Lei stared at Lu Jiao with anticipation, “I can’t go in to speculate?”

“Are you sure you won’t pass out? If you pass out at the sight of blood and disrupt my surgery, you will have to take responsibility.”

The serious look on Lu Jiao’s face diminished Qi Lei’s curiosity, “Next time then.”

Lu Jiao nodded, “You have to start with small surgeries.”

“Okay.” Qi Lei nodded.

Lu Jiao walked away and quickly took out some stuff from her space – disinfected white robe, face mask, gloves, and so on.

To her, today’s operation was no piece of cake. Since she had no assistants, she had to do everything herself, which was an enormous load of work.

As Lu Jiao thought it through, she snuck out an ECG monitor from her space. She checked out his temperature, pulse, breathing, and blood pressure. Turns out, he was stable.

Then, she took out the anesthetic. Worried that he would wake up in the middle of surgery, she decided to fully numb him.

Afterward, the operation officially started. Lu Jiao first used the scalpel to slice open Xie Yunjin’s legs. Exposed, everything was what she expected when she first examined him.

Xie Yunjin’s legs were disjointed due to impact and many parts of the bones were crushed. She had to take out the small pieces and push his bones back in place.

The surgery went on as planned inside.

Outside, the hallways of Baohe Tang and the streets nearby were getting rowdy. The more than 20 Clan members had arrived and now chatting nervously.

Lu Gui divided up the whole wheat buns for everyone to share.

Lady Ruan stared at the bun and was furious at Lu Gui, “Where’s Lu Jiao? Why would she feed her mother-in-law something like this?”

Only then did Lady Ruan realize that Lu Jiao didn’t come back.

On the side, Chen Liu and Xie Lan provoked, “Third sister-in-law must’ve gone shopping.”

Xie Lan mocked, “Her own husband is in surgery yet she’s out there having fun. What’s the point of having such a wife? I’m going to ask my brother to leave her tomorrow.”

Lu Gui angrily argued back, “What are you talking about? Worried about my brother-in-law, my sister is outside getting some fresh air alone. She’ll be back soon.”

Everyone thought what he said was fair and nodded.

The Clan Leader glared at Lady Ruan, “Is it ever enough with you?”

Finally, Lady Ruan stopped talking. Her rigid old face tightened even more as if somebody owed her money.

It took four hours to finish Xie Yunjin’s surgery.

Once it was done, Lu Jiao was close to passing out. Her entire body was covered in sweat and her face was pale.

This was exhausting. She had to do all the tasks herself. Terrified of mistakes, she was highly stressed and tense. By the time everything was done, she almost collapsed.

Lu Jiao didn’t leave right away and instead, waited for two bags of IV drips to finish. She had used some anti-inflammatory saline for Xie Yunjin.

She couldn’t risk others seeing this so she guarded him herself.

Once the two bags were done, she walked out while stabilizing herself against the wall.

Qi Lei walked over and helped her stand up, “What happened?”

Lu Jiao looked at him, “Exhausted.”

She then ordered, “The surgery is done. You go in there now to take care of him. After a while, come out and tell the Xie family that the surgery was a success.”

Qi Lei nodded, “Master, are you okay?”

Lu Jiao shook her head, “I’m okay.”

Qi Lei was about to walk in when Lu Jiao stopped him, “I had to put my husband under for the surgery. He’ll be asleep for a while. Make sure you tell the family that.”

Qi Lei raised an eyebrow, “Put him under?”

Lu Jiao explained with a smile, “It’s the effect of Mafei power. We must use that before surgery to ease the pain.”

“Oh, got it.”

Qi Lei walked inside.

Lu Jiao took a deep inhale to refuel her energy. She could’ve fed herself some spiritual water to feel better.

But the image of Lady Ruan made her forget that idea. If she showed up all healthy-looking, Lady Ruan would give her a hard time.

Lu Jiao walked out of the back alley and secretly headed towards the front door.

Inside the Baohe Tang’s hallway, Qi Lei was talking to the Xie family.

“The surgery is finished. It was a success.”
