Chapter 19

Lu Jiao threw the wild boar to the ground with a plop in front. The four little ones in the east bedroom heard the movement outside and ran out quickly. When they saw the wild boar on the ground, they were terrified and lay down at the door, not daring to move.

Outside Xie's small fenced courtyard, many villagers heard the commotion and ran over to watch the commotion.

"My God, what a big wild boar."

"Did Yun Jin's daughter-in-law hit her? Does she have the ability?"

"I heard that he set a trap and caught him."

"What kind of trap is so powerful."

"The hunters in the village may not be able to catch such a big wild boar."

"You don't care about them, anyway, they caught them."

They said everything, and one of them raised his voice and asked Lu Jiao: "Daughter-in-law Yun Jin, will this wild boar be killed or not?"

When one person spoke, the others also started thinking, and Mrs. Zhao also started thinking.

If Lu Jiao killed a wild boar, their family would also order some meat to taste. It's been a long time since they ate meat.

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

The people in the village can only count on the grain in the field, but because Xiejia Village is surrounded by mountains, the humidity in the air is too high, and the sunlight is not good, so the grain harvest in the field is very poor.

Because of this, Xiejia Village is very poor, so poor that many people can't even eat enough to eat, let alone meat.

Lu Jiao glanced at the villagers outside the fence. Some of them were not good, but most of them were of good character. Although some had quarreled with Yuan Chen, they were good to Xie Yunjin and the four children.

Xie Yunjin comes from Xiejia Village, even if he goes out in the future, Xiejia Village will still be his root.

People in this era attach great importance to the family. If they don't pay attention to the family, even if they enter the court and become an official in the future, they will be impeached by the imperial officials.

Xie Yunjin will take the imperial examination in the future, win the first prize, and be the first assistant, so Xiejia Village is very important, not to mention the four children, they will also go out in the future, this reputation is very important.

Lu Jiao thought, smiled and looked at the person in front of the gate of the fenced yard, and said loudly.

"Since everyone wants to eat meat, I will have the wild boar killed."

After she finished speaking, she looked towards Zhao Shi and said, "Sister-in-law Laifu, I remember that Huzi seems to be able to kill pigs, can I trouble him to kill pigs for me?"

Mrs. Zhao immediately nodded happily: "Okay, okay."

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

Huzi's daughter-in-law is named Lin Chunyan, since she married Huzi, she has never had a child, she can't hold her head high in her in-law's house, and usually dare not disobey her mother-in-law's words, but when she heard Zhao's words, she immediately responded: "Okay, mother. "

Lu Jiao glanced at the villagers outside the courtyard and said: "After killing the pig, anyone who wants it can come and weigh it back. Since everyone is a fellow villager, I don't charge too much, just fifteen yuan a catty. .”

Pork in the market costs twenty yuan a catty, and wild pork is rare, sometimes even slightly higher.

Unexpectedly, Yun Jin's daughter-in-law lost five cents when she opened her mouth, everyone was happy.

"Okay, my family will come over later and weigh a catty back."

"My family also calls it Yijin Jiejie."

Everyone went back happily, but of course some were unhappy.

Widow Li was very unhappy, and said angrily: "Daughter-in-law Yun Jin, from the village, how can you collect money from everyone for killing such a big wild boar?"

As soon as Widow Li's words fell, someone echoed in a low voice: "That's right, it's easy for people from the village to collect money."

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

I heard that there are many men in the village who are related to her, so I just want to ask for some small favors from them.

Lu Jiao looked at Widow Li with a sneer and said, "Then my family, Yun Jin, was seriously injured. As a villager, why don't you take some money to treat our family's injuries? There are seriously injured patients in my family, and I have four children to support. Why don't you see me?" Help me a little bit?"

As soon as Lu Jiao finished speaking, outside the fenced yard, many people surnamed Xie scolded Widow Li, this woman is really nothing.

"Show face, there is no limit to being greedy for petty gains."

"You're greedy for other people's meat, why don't you see what's going on with them, it's really shameless."

After hearing what Xie said, Lu Jiao felt better, and said with a gentle face.

"Actually, this wild boar will sell for at least three taels of silver in the restaurant. I can only get half of the money for killing it. But as a villager in Xiejia Village, I can't forget my roots. Everyone's life is hard. Since I got a wild boar, It’s not good to not think of love at all, so if everyone wants it, fifteen cents a catty, come and weigh it later.”

After Lu Jiao finished speaking, she ignored the people outside the fence. It was getting late at this time, and Xie Yunjin and the four little ones hadn't had breakfast yet.

Mrs. Zhao took the eggs and followed her into the kitchen, and put the eggs down.

"Don't pay attention to that shallow-sighted thing, as if you've never seen a good thing in your life, let alone meat, even a handful of weeds by the roadside, you can't wait to pick it up."

Lu Jiao nodded: "Well, I don't care about her, this kind of person gets more and more enthusiastic."

The two exchanged a few words, and Mrs. Zhao left. Lu Jiao boiled a pot of hot water for Xie Hu to kill pigs, and cooked half a pot of corn paste, but added boiled eggs, which Mrs. Zhao sent earlier. Twenty eggs, Lu Jiao cooked six, one for each family member.

After the breakfast was cooked, Xie Hu came to butcher the pig for her. Many children came to the yard, and the four children also ran out of the room to watch.

Lu Jiao ignored this, and made a bowl of sugar water and sent it to the east bedroom. Xie Yunjin was seriously injured and needed to drink more water. Of course, she didn't forget to add some spiritual water to the water.

Xie Yunjin's body is very weak right now, if he doesn't recuperate well, the surgery will be a bit troublesome later, so he should recuperate his body first, then the surgery can be performed smoothly later.

In the room, Xie Yunjin listened to the bustle outside, as if it was Chinese New Year.

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

Xie Yunjin thought that Lu Jiao went out yesterday and caught two pheasants, a hare, and two Ganoderma lucidum plants, and today she went out and got another wild boar.

Are there so many good things in the mountains of Xiejia Village?

Xie Yunjin narrowed her eyes involuntarily, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was something weird about Lu Jiao.

Outside the door, Lu Jiao came in with sugar water: "Are you thirsty? Drink some water. Breakfast is already cooked. I'll bring it in later to feed you."

Xie Yunjin didn't say a word, 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 felt guilty for a moment after being stared at by him, and then she said calmly: "I made a trap, and the wild boar ran into the trap, and was stabbed to death by a piece of bamboo, so I got it back."

"Yesterday I got a pheasant, a rabbit, and a ganoderma lucidum, and today I got a wild boar. How did I not know you have such a skill?"
