Chapter 174

Xie Yunjin looked at Lu Jiao and motioned for her to speak. This matter was originally thought up by Lu Jiao and should be arranged by her.

Lu Jiao didn't refuse. She called these people over today mainly to get them to sign a contract, and it could be regarded as helping the women in the village.

"I asked everyone to come here today. I think everyone knows what it is for. Yes, it is for everyone to come and press fingerprints. The village head and patriarch must have told you that everyone who participates in breeding leeches must guarantee that in the future They are not allowed to take concubines if they earn money, and the family money is kept by women. In addition, each household pays people in proportion. Those who participate in the breeding, the final share of the money, hand over two-thirds to the public, and keep it for themselves. one third."

As soon as Lu Jiao finished speaking, the room began to chatter.

Although the village head and patriarch had said these things before, they still felt that Lu Jiao was being a little too strict.

Someone said: "Daughter-in-law Yun Jin, whether or not to take a concubine is a matter for each family. Are you taking too much control?"

"Yes, why do you have to hand over money to women, men can't manage money."

"There is no separation in the family, how can the younger one get one-third of the money? It should all be handed over to the public."

Lu Jiao raised her eyes and glanced at the people in the room coolly, and said lightly, "I'm discussing with you, aren't you? If you don't agree, you don't have to participate in the leech raising, and I don't have to teach either."

When she said that, the faces of the village chief and the patriarch changed. Now they know Yun Jin's daughter-in-law's temper, which is not very good. They can't provoke her, what should they do if they don't teach them?

They signed a contract with Baohetang before, and they even took a deposit of twenty taels of silver.

The village head and patriarch thought about turning around and chastising the person who spoke.

Lu Jiao was the first to speak: "I teach everyone to recognize herbs and raise leeches in order to make life easier for everyone. In the future, I can spend more money to educate the children in the village, so that more people in Xiejia Village can go out or become useful scholars. , or become a big businessman who can make money, not to let you have money to make things happen."

"Didn't the village chief and patriarch tell you? If you are capable of taking concubines and earning money and managing them yourself, then I won't say a word, but don't try to use the money I earned for you to do these things. "

At the end of Lu Jiao's speech, her expression was a little bit bad, and her face was cold.

All the people in the room were shocked by her, and the village head and patriarch hurriedly said: "Daughter-in-law Yun Jin, don't pay attention to those who are not clear-headed."

Lu Jiao nodded her head and said, "Of course, it's fine if you don't want to follow my rules. You just quit and don't participate in raising leeches. If you participate in raising leeches, you will break the contract after making money and leave Xiejia Village directly."

After Lu Jiao finished speaking, she said with a smile: "Okay, everyone does it voluntarily, I won't force you."

In the east bedroom, many people said: "Daughter-in-law Yun Jin did this for the harmony of our family. What she did was for our Xiejia Village. We agree."

"We are willing too, we listen to you."

"Yes, what she said is for the good of our family."

Someone asked in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law Yun Jin, what if Yun Jin takes a concubine in the future?"

Although the words were whispered, they were extremely abrupt, so the moment he uttered the words, the room fell silent for an instant.

Lu Jiao turned her head to look at Xie Yunjin, wanting to talk amusedly.

It's none of her business whether he takes a concubine or not.

However, Xie Yunjin lowered her brows, raised her eyes with dark eyes, glanced at the people in Xiejia Village and said.

"I don't take concubines, maybe you will question what I said today, but you will see it later."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Lu Jiao, as if you were waiting to see how I behave.

Lu Jiao looked at him in astonishment. She probably got him wrong. Aren't they going to make up? What does it mean for him to look at her like this now?

Just as Lu Jiao was thinking about it, in the room, the patriarch stood up annoyed and said, "If you like to make your fingerprints, you can participate in raising leeches. If you don't, you won't participate. No one is forcing you, so why not talk nonsense."

After the patriarch finished speaking, he was the first to speak: "Daughter-in-law Yun Jin, I will be the first to press my fingerprints."

Many people in the room shouted: "Me."

"I."

"And I."

Lu Jiao didn't care to think about Xie Yunjin's strange expression, she looked at Xie Yunjin who was on the side and said, "Can you write the contract for us?"

Xie Yunjin agreed straight away: "Well, tell me to write it."

Lu Jiao got up and went to the desk to bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Seeing that Xie Yunjin was sitting on the bed and it was difficult to write, she ran out and brought in the broken small table for eating at home, and placed it on the bed.

The small table was relatively short, and it was placed in front of Xie Yunjin, just enough for him to sit and write the contract.

After Lu Jiao arranged these things, she said: "There are two main points in the contract. First, the money earned by raising leeches is handed over to the women in the family, and men are not allowed to take concubines. Two-thirds for the middle school, and one-third for yourself.”

As soon as Lu Jiao said that, Xie Yunjin's eyes lit up. He knew that Lu Jiao's last point was to help his second brother, and she did her best to help his second brother.

A sense of sweetness rose in his heart, and his face was warm and gentle.

"it is good."

There are not many words in the contract, Xie Yunjin wrote it very quickly, and wrote the name of the person who pressed the fingerprint on the bottom after writing.

Although there are many people who come, there is only one handprint on each room, so it is quite fast.

On the side of Xie Yunjin's parents, Xie Laogen came. Xie Laogen knew how to raise leeches, and his third daughter-in-law would teach his second son.

Thinking of the contract saying that among the two-thirds of the people involved in raising leeches, one of the three would be satisfied, Xie Laogen was very upset.

One-third of it is a lot of money. If it is divided into ten taels of silver, one-third is more than three taels, which will be taken by the second son.

The second son's family is full of girl dolls, what does he want money for, these should be given to his eldest son.

When Xie Laogen pressed his fingerprints, he couldn't help but said: "San'er, isn't it inappropriate to be self-satisfied? What should I do if the whole family lives together and eats and drinks?"

Xie Yunjin's gentle face suddenly turned cold, and she looked at Xie Laogen with cool eyes.

Seeing his expression like this, Xie Laogen felt a little nervous. The fingerprints he pressed before were still in the hands of his third son.

If he provokes him again, he will be expelled from Xiejia Village, Xie Laogen said quickly.

"Forget it, forget it, pretend I didn't say it."

He pressed his fingerprints on the words, and then carefully added: "But your elder brother can also raise leeches, right?"

In this way, the boss can also get one-third of himself, which is pretty good.

Just as Xie Laogen was thinking, Lu Jiao called out behind him: "Next one, hurry up, it's getting late."

She still has to take her four children to climb mountains, but she has no time to waste words with them.
