Chapter 19 Doubt

Lu Jiao threw the wild boar to the ground with a thud. The four little girls in the east bedroom heard the movement outside and ran out quickly. When they saw the wild boar on the ground, they looked frightened and lay at the door and dared not move.

Outside the small courtyard of Xie’s family, many villagers ran over to watch the fun when they heard the noise.

"Oh my God, such a big wild boar."

"Did Yun Jin's wife beat her? She has the ability?"

"I heard that I got a trap and caught it."

"What trap is so powerful."

"Even hunters in the village can't catch such a big wild boar."

"You care about them, anyway, this is what they caught."

There were all kinds of people saying it, and some of them asked Lu Jiao loudly: "Yun Jin's wife, will this wild boar be killed?"

One person spoke, the others became thoughtful, and Zhao also became thoughtful.

If Lu Jiao killed the wild boar, their family would also say that they would try some meat. How long has it been since they ate meat?

Although Xiejia Village is backed by the mountain, most of the villagers are illiterate and cannot recognize many things on the mountain, so they dare not move.

The only thing the villagers can count on is the grain in the fields, but because Xiejia Village is backed by the mountains, the humidity in the air is too heavy, and the light is not good, the grain harvest in the fields is very bad.

Because of this, Xiejia Village is very poor, so poor that many families cannot eat enough, and they cannot even eat enough food, let alone eat meat.

Lu Jiao glanced at the villagers outside the fence and saw that some of them were not good, but most of them had good character. Although some people had quarreled with the original body, they were good for Xie Yunjin and the four children.

Xie Yunjin comes from Xiejia Village. Even if he goes out in the future, Xiejia Village will be his roots.

In this era, people pay great attention to family. If they do not pay attention to family, even if they become officials in the court in the future, they will be impeached by imperial officials.

Xie Yunjin will take the imperial examination in the future, win the top scorer, and be the prime minister, so Xiejia Village is very important, let alone the four children, who will also go out in the future, and this reputation is very important.

Lu Jiao thought, smiled and looked at the person in front of the fence gate, and said aloud.

"Since everyone wants to eat meat, I'll let someone kill the wild boar."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhao on the side and said, "Sister-in-law Laifu, I remember that Hu Zi seems to be able to kill pigs. Can you please trouble him to kill me?"

Zhao immediately nodded happily: "Okay, okay."

When she looked up, she saw her daughter-in-law standing outside the fence, and immediately ordered: "Chunyan, go and call your man to come and kill the wild boar for Yun Jin's wife."

Hu Zi's daughter-in-law is Lin Chunyan. Since marrying Hu Zi, she has not given birth. She is very reluctant to raise her head in her husband's house. She usually dares not disobey her mother-in-law at all. After hearing Zhao's words, she immediately responded: "Okay, mother."

Lu Jiao glanced at the villagers outside the yard and said, "I will kill the pig later. If anyone wants it, I will weigh it. Since everyone is a fellow villager, I won't collect more, just fifteen cents per pound."

The pork at the market is twenty cents per pound, and the wild boar is rare, and sometimes it is slightly higher.

Unexpectedly, Yun Jin's wife lost five cents when she opened her mouth, and everyone was happy.

"Okay, my family will come over to weigh one pound later."

"My family also calls it one pound to satisfy their cravings."

Everyone went back happily, and of course some people were unhappy.

Widow Li was very unhappy and said angrily: "Yun Jin's wife, fellow villagers in the country, how can you charge everyone for such a big wild boar?"

As soon as Widow Li said, someone whispered: "Yes, how can you collect money from the villagers?"

Lu Jiao looked up at Widow Li outside the fence. This woman was Shen Xiuniang who was thinking about Xie Yunjin. She was not only vicious in her mouth, but also very greedy for small gains and had a very bad style.

I heard that many men in the village have something to do with her, so I asked them to give me some favors.

Lu Jiao sneered and looked at Widow Li: "Then my Yun Jin was seriously injured. Why don't you take some money to treat our family's injuries? There are seriously injured patients at my house and four children under me to raise them. Why don't you help me?"

As soon as Lu Jiao finished speaking, outside the fence courtyard, many people surnamed Xie scolded Widow Li, saying that this woman is really nothing.

"You have some shame, you have no limit on being greedy for small gains."

"I'm so shameless to be greedy for someone else's meat."

After hearing what the man surnamed Xie said, Lu Jiao felt a little better and said with a gentle expression.

"Actually, this wild boar is sold at least three taels of silver to the restaurant. I can only get half of the money by killing it. But as a member of Xiejia Village, I cannot forget my roots. Everyone has a difficult life. Since I have a wild boar, it is not easy to be indifferent to the love. So if everyone wants it, fifteen cents per pound and come and weigh it later."

After Lu Jiao said that, she ignored the people outside the fence. It was getting late at this time, and Xie Yunjin and the four little guys had not had breakfast yet.

Zhao took the egg and followed her into the kitchen, putting it down.

"Don't pay attention to the shallow-eyed thing. You have never seen a good thing in your life. Not to mention meat, even a handful of weeds on the side of the road, I wish I could pick it up."

Lu Jiao nodded: "Well, I ignore her. The more I pay attention to this kind of person, the more excited I get."

After the two of them said a few words, Zhao left. Later, Lu Jiao cooked a pot of hot water and slaughtered pigs for Xie Hu. He cooked half a pot of corn paste, but added boiled eggs. Zhao had sent twenty eggs before, Lu Jiao cooked six, one for each person in the family.

When the breakfast was cooked, Xie Hu came over to kill pigs for her. Many children came to the yard, and the four little ones also ran out of the room to watch.

Lu Jiao ignored these and poured a bowl of sugar water to the east bedroom. Xie Yunjin was seriously injured and needed more water. Of course, she did not forget to add some spiritual water to regulate her body to the water.

Xie Yunjin's body is very weak at the moment. If he doesn't take good care of it, it will be a bit troublesome to have surgery later, so he can do a better job of the body first and then he can have a smooth operation later.

In the room, Xie Yunjin listened to the lively sound outside, just like the New Year.

At this time, he already knew that Lu Jiao had caught a wild boar when she went out in the morning.

Xie Yunjin thought that yesterday Lu Jiao went out to catch two pheasants, a hare, and two Ganoderma lucidum plants. Today, he got another wild boar.

Are there so many good things on the mountain in Xiejia Village?

Xie Yunjin couldn't help but squint his eyes. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Lu Jiao was strange.

Lu Jiao took the sugar water outside the door and walked in: "Are you thirsty? Drink some water, the breakfast is cooked, I'll bring it in to feed you later."

Xie Yunjin didn't say anything. When Lu Jiao finished feeding the water, he suddenly looked up at Lu Jiao and said, "How did you get the wild boar?"

Lu Jiao was so guilty that she was staring at his eyes, and then she said calmly: "I made a trap, and the wild boar ran into the trap, and was stabbed to death by bamboo pieces, so I got it back."
