Chapter 109

Both the village chief and the patriarch are human beings. Looking at the situation in front of them, they knew what was going on after a little thought.

The Ruan family acted like a demon again, the patriarch was very angry, and looked at her with cold eyes.

In the room, the four little ones didn't quite understand what Ruan Shi and Lu Jiao said, they said anxiously: "Mother, I don't want her in my house."

"Yes, she's always crying."

Lu Jiao looked down at the four cubs and said softly: "This is the person your grandma invited to help us with things. If there is anything at home, let her do it, so that mother can play with you."

"Is that so?"

The four little ones turned around suspiciously and looked at Ruan Shi, then at Zhou Xiaotao.

You can ask her to do anything at home.

Zhou Xiaotao's face changed, and she anxiously wanted to defend herself, she was here to take care of her cousin, not to help them.

But Ruan quickly gave Zhou Xiaotao a look, don't talk nonsense, you can't stay if you talk nonsense.

Zhou Xiaotao looked at the handsome and jade-like man on the bed, just like the man in the painting, and finally held back.

In order to marry her cousin, she endured it.

Zhou Xiaotao looked at Lu Jiao thinking about turning around to demonstrate, and this woman was waiting for her.

Lu Jiao wants to give her a supercilious look. What kind of dream is this? Can Xie Yunjin take a fancy to you?

In the room, facing the patriarch and several elders in the clan, Ruan felt pressured in his heart, and quickly said: "Okay, people stay, I'll go back first."

Ruan turned around and left, while Zhou Xiaotao panicked behind her, always feeling a little scared.

Lu Jiao originally wanted to arrange for her to do something, but she didn't want Dabao, one of the four cubs, to be the first to say, "You, come and help us with something."

After hearing Dabao's words, Zhou Xiaotao immediately grinned, trying to pretend to be gentle.

"OK."

Dabao shivered a little when he saw it, it was really ugly.

Everyone else in the room also felt that his face looked ugly, so the village head and patriarch hurriedly looked away.

Seeing Zhou Xiaotao and the four little ones going out together, Lu Jiao didn't worry about the four little ones being coaxed away, the four little ones were smart.

In the room, Lu Jiao asked the village chief and patriarch to sit down, and went to the kitchen to get the teacup she bought last time to make tea for the village chief and patriarch.

"Yun Jin, we are here because we don't know how to do something, and we want you to help us make up our minds."

Xie Yunjin is the only scholar in the village. Usually, the village head and patriarch will listen to his opinions on any important matters in the clan.

So this time they couldn't make up their minds, so they came to discuss with Xie Yunjin again.

Xie Yunjin did not refuse, and looked at the elders of the clan with a gentle expression: "What's the matter?"

The patriarch said, "Didn't you ask your daughter-in-law to teach the villagers to recognize herbs before? This was a good thing, but we are not sure about one thing, whether to teach only Xie people to recognize herbs, or to teach people in the village together."

"Compared to other villages, the people in Xiejia Village are more harmonious. Although there are a few bad people in the village, they are basically okay."

"If only people with the surname Xie are taught to recognize herbal medicine this time, then people with a non-surname in the village will form a group, and the Xie family village will be divided into two factions in the future, which will create a bad atmosphere in the village."

"If the whole village taught it, and I was afraid that the tribe would complain, I could have made more money, but as a result, there are too many people who recognize herbal medicine, so I'm afraid I can't make much money."

The patriarch's face was full of embarrassment. He was very happy because Lu Jiao wanted to teach them to recognize herbal medicines, but when it happened to him, he realized that this matter was troublesome. They couldn't make up their minds, so they came to discuss with Xie Yunjin.

Xie Yunjin's eyes were deep in thought, and soon he looked up at the village head and patriarch and said.

"Then let's teach them all. The village chief held a meeting and asked all members of the Xie clan and people of other surnames to attend. Let the people of other surnames guarantee that the hills near Xie's village are reserved for people surnamed Xie. If they want to gather herbs, they must go to other hills. .”

"There are a lot of mountains around here, not just the mountains near Xiejia Village. In addition, you told the Xie tribe that this is not a long-term business, but a temporary income. I will think of a long-term business for them in the future. So it’s best for everyone not to conflict for short-term interests.”

After Xie Yunjin finished speaking, the village chief and patriarch thought this method was feasible. First, let the people with the other surnames go to other mountains to collect herbs, so as to appease the hearts of the people with the surname Xie, and give the people with the other surnames a chance to make money. They just ran more It's just the road.

Later, Yun Jin said that he would think of a long-term livelihood for them, so that no matter whether it is people with the surname Xie or people with the foreign surname, it is not easy to make a fuss over what is in front of them.

The patriarch stood up happily: "Okay, just do what Yun Jin said."

After the patriarch finished speaking, she thought about how many families in the village Lu Jiao was at odds with, and would she like to let those families learn.

"What does Yun Jin's daughter-in-law have to say?"

Lu Jiao looked at the patriarch and said, "Let my second sister-in-law come and learn from our house, I don't want to see others."

After finishing her sentence, she talked about Widow Li's family: "Widow Li's family asked her daughter-in-law Xia Lian to come over, don't ask Widow Li to come over."

If she hadn't sympathized with Xia Lian, she wouldn't have let Widow Li's family participate.

As for Aunt Osmanthus, who had quarreled with her before, they all apologized, and she will never let her go.

What's more, although she taught them to recognize herbs, she may not make much money, but it is just a slight improvement in life.

The patriarch agreed immediately: "Okay, let your rich brother arrange this."

Xie Fugui nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll implement it, let them come over tomorrow to identify herbs."

After Xie Fugui finished speaking, he thought that there were many families in the village. Even if one family came, the small house of Xie's family could not hold so many people.

"Daughter-in-law Yun Jin, if everyone comes, I'm afraid this room won't be able to stand up."

Lu Jiao also thought about this problem, pointed to the outside of the yard and said, "Everyone bring your own stools and sit outside. In fact, it's just to explain the herbs. I don't know if they can understand them. If they don't, I will give them some herbs to take with them." , We got to know each other a few times."

Thinking of this, Lu Jiao felt that the herbs she picked before might not be enough, and she would go up the mountain to pick some herbs tomorrow morning.

After hearing her words, the village head and patriarch immediately nodded happily: "Okay, then let's go back and arrange these things."

Everyone in the room laughed, and suddenly there was crying outside the room.

Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look at the door, outside the door Zhou Xiaotao came in crying.

"Cousin, they, they actually asked me to clean the kennel and the shit."

Zhou Xiaotao looked at Xie Yunjin on the bed pitifully, as if being bullied.

It's a pity that she has no sense of beauty at all at this time, her face is yellow and white, and she is even more ugly than before.

Xie Yunjin frowned involuntarily on the bed, and looked at Zhou Xiaotao with sharp and cold eyes.

Zhou Xiaotao was frightened by such eyes, and forgot to cry for a while.

The village head and patriarch looked at Zhou Xiaotao, then at Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao, not knowing what to say about this matter.

In short, everyone scolded Ruan, the scourge, to death in their hearts.

In the room, Lu Jiao couldn't look directly at Zhou Xiaotao's face, so she said angrily, "Just let you clean a kennel, and you cry like this, so you don't do anything at Zhou's house? Do you enjoy life all day long?"

Looking at this woman's sallow face, so thin that there is no trace of flesh, one can tell that she is not a noble person in the Zhou family.

Since he is not a noble person, it is normal to feed pigs and chickens at home, and clean the pigsty and chicken coop, so he is getting hypocritical here.
