Xie Lan smiled and greeted Xie Yunjin, "Third brother, how are you? Are you better?"
Xie Yunjin's mouth curled into a sneering smile. This is the little sister he loved in the past. She really has the heart of a wolf and the lungs of a dog!
[T/N: The heart of wolf and the lungs of dog: This idiom is used to describe a particularly cruel and unscrupulous person who is ungrateful.]
"Do you think the third brother is so good?"
Xie Yunjin asked Xie Lan in return. Xie Lan was stunned for a moment, feeling a little annoyed. Why is the third brother so angry? Forget it. For the sake of his injury, this younger sister won't bother with him.
Xie Lan ignored Xie Yunjin, turned her head to look at Lu Jiao, and said, "Third Sister-in-law, I heard that you hunted a wild boar. Mother said to let you send one of the boar's hind legs to our house, and sell the rest for the third brother's treatment."
Lu Jiao looked at Xie Lan speechlessly, how shameless was she to say such a heartless thing! Kicking their family out of the house and having the audacity to run for the boar's hind legs!
Lu Jiao sneered unceremoniously, "Xie Lan, I just want to ask you, how did you have the guts to say this?"
Xie Lan's expression changed, and she glared at Lu Jiao, "What do you mean?"
Lu Jiao looked at her mockingly and said, "Why should I give you one of the hind legs of the wild boar I hunted? How big is your face? You kicked us out of the house after giving us only five taels of silver. Now I don't have enough money to treat your third brother's legs, yet you still have the face to ask for meat."
When Xie Lan heard Lu Jiao's words, her face turned ugly. She stared at Lu Jiao and said angrily,
"Lu Jiao, you are so unfilial. You hunted a wild boar, and your parents only want one of the boar's hind legs. Why don't you give it? If such a reputation spreads, are you not afraid of being scolded by others for disobedience?"
When Xie Lan finished speaking, she turned to look at Xie Yunjin and said angrily, "Third brother, won't you order her?"
Xie Yunjin sneered. There was no warmth in his eyes.
"If you want to eat meat, you can buy it with money, or you can take me back for treatment, and I will give you the whole wild boar."
When Xie Lan heard this, her eyes burned with anger. When she thought that the wild boar in her mouth was gone, and she had no meat to eat, Xie Lan started to speak out again.
"Okay, you are so disobedient and unfilial, you eat meat yourself and don't give it to your parents, so aren't you afraid of others laughing at you for being unfilial?"
Lu Jiao was very tired of hearing this and looked at Xie Lan and said coldly, "Get out of here."
Xie Lan didn't want to let go of the wild boar, so how could she leave? She scolded yet again.
"You two white-eyed wolves, you eat meat yourself, and you don't even give your parents anything. I'm going to tell everyone how you treat your parents."
[T/N: White-eyed wolf: Ungrateful]
Lu Jiao was too lazy to talk to this shameless thing again. She stood up and walked to Xie Lan's side, reached out to grab Xie Lan's hair and dragged her outside.
"Don't you want to tell everyone that we are white-eyed wolves? Go, go out and talk."
Xie Lan was not prepared to act when Lu Jiao disagreed, but Lu Jiao pulled her hair and dragged her outside. Her scalp was almost torn apart, and she screamed in pain.
"Lu Jiao, you fat motherfucker, let go of me, let me go right away."
She struggled and raised her hand to hit Lu Jiao. Instead of hitting Lu Jiao, she herself was slapped twice by Lu Jiao. Lu Jiao smartly didn't hit her in the face. She hit her on the back of the head.
Not only was Xie Lan unable to struggle, she was dragged out and even beaten when she came, and she couldn't help but cry.
"Lu Jiao, you bitch, let me go, boohoo, let me go."
Many villagers came to buy wild boar meat in the yard. Seeing this scene of the fighting between the sisters-in-law, they immediately started gossiping and asked, "What happened?"
"Why did Lu Jiao beat Xie Lan?"
Lu Jiao's reputation was not good, but the people in Xie Clan Village also disliked Xie Lan. This woman was obviously a country woman, dark, thin and ugly.
She prefers to apply rouge and powder. Most importantly, she is very proud and thinks she is the younger sister of a scholar. She doesn't want to marry a commoner, instead she wants to marry someone in town.
In the nearby town, she still chooses, asking people for money and a lot of betrothal gifts. She is so ugly that no one wants her in the town. As a result, she has not married yet at the age of seventeen, but is still mean when talking to others.
Seeing her being beaten, everyone felt that she deserved it, but some people still came out to persuade her.
"Yunjin's wife, let go. What's going on?"
At the right time, Lu Jiao loosened her hand, pointed to Xie Lan on the ground, and said to the people in the yard, "This shameless ran here, asking me to give her one of the boar's hind legs."
Xie Lan cried when she heard it, "It's for my parents, not for me. As the daughter-in-law of the Xie family, it's your duty to send one of the boar's hind legs to your in-laws if you have hunted a wild boar."
Lu Jiao said bluntly, "How dare you say such a thing? Xie Yunjin was seriously injured and was kicked out by you all. Right now, our family doesn't want anything. Just depend on me to earn some money so that I can buy medicine for him and buy some food for my family."
"Your mouth is like a boar's hind leg. Why don't you know how to bring money to treat your third brother's injury?"
"Today, I, Lu Jiao, am here to say something. Don't try to get anything from our house in the future. Xie Yunjin is seriously injured. In our family, there are also four children. This whole family is counting on me to take care of them. It's good enough for us to have something to feed ourselves, and you still have the face to come and ask for something. I would be so ashamed that I would have banged my head to death." Lu Jiao's words made the villagers in the yard talk a lot, mostly out of sympathy for her.
Xie Yunjin was hurt so badly even then Old Master Xie and his wife only gave five taels of silver, and Lu Jiao has to make money to treat Xie Yunjin's injury and raise four children. It is really not easy.
The second grandma walked in from outside the yard, looked at Xie Lan, and said, "Go back and tell your parents that if you want Yunjin to be filial in the future, you should take them back now."
A lot of people around them nodded, thinking that this was reasonable. Now take them back and heal them. Yunjin will be just as devoted to his parents in the future as he was to them in the past.
Xie Lan's expression changed when she heard the words of the people around her. She cried and got up, ran to the door, and stopped to stare at Lu Jiao in the yard.
"Lu Jiao, wait for me. Sooner or later, my parents will tell the third brother to divorce you."
Lu Jiao wished Xie Yunjin would divorce her. That would save her trouble.
Many people in the courtyard advised Lu Jiao to ignore Xie Lan.
The second grandma also came to persuade her. Lu Jiao immediately thanked the people around her, and her attitude was indescribably gentle and polite. Before, the people of Xie Clan Village had a bad impression of her, but it changed a lot at once.
At this time, Xie Hu was done slaughtering the wild boar. After opening the belly, he pulled out the gut from the belly and chopped the meat into pieces.
Lu Jiao looked at the villagers in the yard and said, "Okay, the wild boar has been slaughtered. Tell Xie Hu how much you want."
Lu Jiao didn't care much about the money she made from selling pork. If it was purely for the money, she would have sent the wild boar to a restaurant in the town or a big family.
Selling the whole wild boar makes a little more money, but slaughtering the boar and selling the meat doesn't actually make much money, just half the price.
She can't count on this at all. What she can count on is the Ganoderma lucidum in the space.
