Chapter 171

Zhao Lingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, Mo Bei turned coldly and led the way, Lu Jiao followed him all the way to the small building behind Baohe Hall, Qi Lei accompanied Lu Jiao to the small building.

In the back room, the village head and patriarch looked terrified, subconsciously got up and wanted to follow, Zhao Lingfeng immediately motioned them to sit down and explained.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Lu will be fine. Just now that person wanted to ask her to go over and thank her. She saved their master before."

The village head and patriarch muttered to themselves, does that look like a thank you? It looked like he was going to hit someone.

The two of them were very upset.

Lu Jiao followed Mo Bei all the way to the small building at the back. On the way, Mo Bei couldn't help but sneered: "You are really greedy for money."

Lu Jiao turned her head and gave him a cool look and said, "You are really ungrateful."

Mo Bei's face turned cold when he heard that, he stopped and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

Lu Jiao was not afraid of him, and said coldly: "Did I save your master, and you treat me like this, is it not ungrateful? And your master's life is not worth five thousand taels of silver."

After Lu Jiao finished speaking, she ignored Mo Bei and walked towards the small building. Mo Bei followed behind with sullen eyes, and said as she walked, "I've never seen someone ask for five thousand taels of silver to draw an arrow for someone."

The reason why Mo Bei couldn't understand Lu Jiao was because he felt that this woman was too arrogant. A country woman was so arrogant. None of the noble girls in Beijing were so arrogant, but this woman pulled an arrow for her master. It made Mo Bei even more unhappy that five thousand taels of silver was required.

Lu Jiao said angrily, "Then why don't you find a doctor who doesn't want five thousand taels of silver?"

After finishing her sentence, she didn't want to say another word to Mo Bei, and strode towards the small building.

There were two guards standing outside the bedroom door of the main building. When these people saw Mo Bei, they immediately called out respectfully: "Captain Mo."

Mo Bei nodded and motioned, "My lord wants to see her."

The two gatekeepers let Lu Jiao and Qi Lei in, and the group entered the master bedroom.

On the bed in the master bedroom, one person was leaning on the bed and reading a book. When he heard the movement, he looked up.

At first glance, Lu Jiao thought this person seemed familiar, but upon closer inspection, she found that she didn't know him at all, so she smiled lightly and said, "This young master wants to see me?"

The young man on the bed had hair tied in a silver crown, his face was deep and three-dimensional, and his eyes seemed to hide evil spirits. When he raised them, one could feel the fierceness rushing towards his face.

But soon he restrained the sharpness in his eyes, and said with a gentle expression, "I heard that you pulled out the barbed arrow for me?"

Lu Jiao said indifferently, "I'm a doctor, and I use money to do things."

On the bed, Xiao Yu looked at the woman with a free and easy manner in surprise. This woman was not like the vanity-loving woman Mo Bei said, but her words and deeds were open and upright.

Xiao Yu glanced at Mo Bei, who was looking at Lu Jiao with an unkind expression.

Xiao Yu looked at it and smiled, Mo Bei followed him, some eyes were higher than the top, ordinary women would not bother to pay attention, he probably suffered a loss at the hands of this woman, that's why he was annoyed.

Xiao Yu saw Lu Jiao today, also because Mo Bei told him a few times about how this woman is so greedy for vanity and so arrogant, but he actually told him that she just has a free and easy personality and doesn't refuse small things.

Xiao Yu ignored Mo Bei, looked at Lu Jiao, and thanked him earnestly: "Thank you for drawing the arrow for me earlier, today Xiao accepts your action, and if Xiao is needed in the future, Xiao will definitely help."

Lu Jiao didn't want to have too much involvement with these people. This person was assassinated, who knew what was involved behind it, so it was unnecessary.

"I took the money, you don't have to be so polite."

When Xiao Yu heard that there was still something he didn't understand, he didn't want to have anything to do with him, so he didn't say anything more.

"Mo Bei, send this lady out."

Xiao Yu ordered, and Mo Bei sent Lu Jiao out again. On the way, he didn't say anything, and Lu Jiao didn't want to talk to him. She doesn't like bad men.

Lu Jiao walked out of Baohe Hall with a cold face and went to the town to buy things.

There was nothing to eat at home, so Lu Jiao bought a bunch of meat, chicken, duck, fish, pork ribs and trotters, and then bought noodles, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and a lot of sugar.

There were always guests at home, and the sugar was used up very quickly. Besides the sugar, Lu Jiao bought a lot of candy and snacks for the four little ones, and finally went all the way to Baohe Tang satisfied.

In Baohetang, Zhao Lingfeng had already signed a contract with the village head and others.

As soon as the village chief saw her coming, he showed her the contract. Lu Jiao took it over and even recognized and guessed it. Finally, she understood that Zhao Lingfeng did not deceive the villagers of Xiejia Village.

"No problem, the patriarch will keep it."

The patriarch agreed and put it away, and Lu Jiao led them out of Baohetang.

The group went back to Xiejia Village happily. On the way, Lu Jiao, the village chief and the patriarch said.

"Now that the contract has been signed, the leech raising can start immediately. The village head and the patriarch will hold a meeting in the afternoon to inform the people involved in the breeding of each family. Each household will sign a contract. There are two main points in the contract. First, the money earned by the family is handed over to the woman, and men are not allowed to take concubines. Second, which house has a man, one-third of the money earned will be handed over to the woman in the house, and two-thirds will be handed over to the public."

Lu Jiao's last one is mainly for Xie Erzhu, and those women in the village like Xia Lian who are oppressed by the elders.

After Lu Jiao finished speaking, she suddenly thought of the matter that her father-in-law Xie Laogen and Widow Wang got together. If she decided not to take a concubine, wouldn't Widow Wang not be able to enter Xie's house?

Lu Jiao quickly added another sentence: "Of course, it is allowed to take concubines now. I mean the money earned from raising leeches. You must not take concubines. If anyone takes a concubine, they will be expelled from Xiejia Village."

In fact, Lu Jiao originally wanted to teach the women in the village to raise leeches and give them some protection, but now it is a collective model. In this case, she has to get those men to sign.

Because she is well aware of the evil nature of men, especially in this era when three wives and four concubines are normal. If a man is rich, he will definitely take a concubine or something. She helps them make money, not to harm women or to disgust herself.

The village head and patriarch had no objection to Lu Jiao's words.

They followed Lu Jiao for a trip today, and they could see that if Yun Jin is smart, Yun Jin's wife is also a formidable one. I didn't see her face those powerful people without the slightest bit of fear. She really deserves to be Yun Jin. Sincere daughter-in-law.

"Okay, let's go back and have a meeting in the afternoon."

When Lu Jiao returned home, she saw a lot of people standing in her yard, and a lot of people were talking in the main room, all talking lively.

Seeing Lu Jiao's return, these people immediately greeted Lu Jiao happily.

Second Mistress greeted her and said, "Jiaojiao, go in quickly and have a look. That kid Youcai made a wheelchair for Yun Jin, and said that he can sit on it and move around freely."

The others nodded: "Yes, you can push it by yourself, and Yun Jin won't have to stay at home all the time."
