บท 32: Lu Jiao Shares Money
Xie Fugui was angry as well. The atmosphere at Xie Clan Village has always been good, but there are still some shitty people stirring up trouble in the village, which is really annoying.
With a cold expression on his face, Xie Fugui said in a deep voice, "Get out of Xie Clan Village for me if you don't want to compensate them with money. Our Xie Clan Village cannot accommodate people like you. Your family's children may spoil the other children in the village in the future."
Widow Li's face turned pale. Even though she wanted to say something, she didn't dare speak up because of Xie Fugui's gloomy face. If the village chief ruthlessly drove them out of Xie Clan Village, where would they go?
Originally, Xie Clan Village was where the Xie clan stayed. Later on, they began to accept some foreigners. However, their roots were not as deep as the Xie family's.
"Yunjin's wife, how much do you want?" Xie Fugui asked Lu Jiao, ignoring Widow Li.
Lu Jiao squinted at Widow Li and half-smiled as she said, "Two taels of silver is enough. The village chief should be aware that my family's Yunjin needs at least two doses of medicine per day. Don't even mention these two taels. Even five taels of silver isn't enough to buy a pair of good medicines."
"I don't want their money. All I want is for her to learn a lesson and stop bullying our family in the future."
Initially, when Lu Jiao opened her mouth and asked for two taels of silver, the people thought she was opening her mouth way too wide like a lion. However, when they heard that even this wasn't enough to buy a pair of medicine for Xie Yunjin, they felt that Lu Jiao was kind-hearted.
Several people spoke up for her, "Yunjin had been really angry before, and he had even vomited blood. Two taels of silver isn't much. She's not asking for much."
"She's really not asking for much. With their family making such a fuss, I don't know how much it will cost for Yunjin's family."
Widow Li refused to give it, so she cried and said, "My family has no money, no money."
When she finished, she saw Xie Lan on the side, grabbed Xie Lan's hand, and said, "Miss Lan, I beg you and your third sister-in-law for mercy. Don't let her ask aunt for money. You know the situation at aunt's house."
After listening to Widow Li's words, Xie Lan thought about her relationship with Shen Xiu, and she realised that this was the time to establish a kind image for herself.
Xie Lan turned her head to face Lu Jiao, but the latter didn't even wait for her to say anything before yelling, "Shut your mouth, I'm annoyed whenever I see you."
When she had finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and started dragging Shen Xiaoshan out, saying, "Since your family does not want to compensate us with money, then go to the county government office. You bring your mother and daughter to our house to extort money, so you should be put in a cell and jailed."
"By the way, you seem to have the habit of stealing chickens and dogs. Once you go to the county office, I'll tell the county magistrate to look into the good things you did in the past, so that you may be able to stay in prison for another two years."
Shen Xiaoshan's face turned pale with fear, and due to the beating earlier, there was not a single spot on his body that didn't hurt.
"Mother, give it to her, give her the money quickly. I don't want to go to the county government office, I don't want to go to jail," he screamed, his face pale.
When Widow Li saw her son like this, she didn't dare say anything, so she simply called out, "Don't take my son to the county office. I'll go back and get you money."
The person ran back quickly, and Lu Jiao was not afraid that Shen Xiaoshan would run away, so she slowly put away the knife in her hand.
Everyone in the yard let out a sigh of relief. The sight of Yunjin's wife armed with a knife was too terrifying.
Widow Li brought over two taels of silver as if they had been plucked out of her heart.
Lu Jiao did not take the money herself. Instead, she motioned to Xie Xiaobao standing on her side to hold it while she looked at the quadruplets standing on her other side.
"Eldest Child, who helped you today?"
The second grandma's family, the village head's family, and another hunter's family surnamed Xu were all pointed out by the eldest child.
Lu Jiao nodded, looked at the village chief, and said, "I don't want these two taels of silver either, so I'll just share them with these three families equally."
Everyone in the yard was stunned when she finished speaking, and they all began talking.
"God, is it true or false?"
"Why didn't we think of helping the quadruplets earlier?"
"The three families share these two taels of silver equally, and there will be more than three hundred cents. Oh my God, they'll be able to buy more than ten kilograms of meat."
Xie Fugui said to Lu Jiao, "Yunjin's wife, there is no need for this. Yunjin needs this money."
Lu Jiao shook her head and said, "I'll find a way to pay for his medicine. Didn't the village chief see it before? I can hunt and, in fact, I can also collect herbs, so I don't have to worry about the money for the medicine. I'll share the money among the three families to thank them for taking good care of my four children."
After she had finished speaking, she didn't even want to say anything more, so she pushed Shen Xiaoshan away and said, "Go away."
Widow Li quickly supported her son and did not dare to stay any longer. The mother and son slipped away in despair.
Shen Xiu turned to walk out after giving Lu Jiao a glum look from behind. Xie Lan thought of Lu Jiao's previous words, and glared at her angrily, then turned and walked away.
Everyone went out of the courtyard. The three families who had helped the quadruplets came over to say their goodbyes to Lu Jiao.
However, Lu Jiao was obliged. It won't be good for her to accept this money. If she took the money, the people in the village would say she was not good, so it would be better for her to not take this money for herself. Lu Jiao asked that the village chief take care of the division of money on her behalf. These two taels of silver are really not that rare for her.
The village chief Xie Fugui finally took over this matter and took them away to divide the money equally.
On the other hand, his daughter, Xie Xiaojuan, did not leave, but stayed behind and told Lu Jiao, "Third Aunt, Third Uncle and the children are all injured. I'll stay and prepare the dinner for you. Go ahead and help them clean up."
Lu Jiao saw that it was getting late and that it was time to cook dinner, but Xie Yunjin and the four little ones were injured and needed to be attended to.
Eventually, she thanked Xie Xiaojuan and led the four little ones into the main room.
"Wait for me. I'll go get some rice for your sister Xiaojuan to cook dinner, and after that I'll take care of your wounds."
The four little ones were restless in the main room. As soon as Lu Jiao left, the four dashed towards the east bedroom.
They had seen their father vomit blood before, but as they stood by his bed, watching him while he was unconscious, the four little ones were so frightened that their tears couldn't stop flowing.
Lu Jiao went into the west bedroom and took out half a bowl of rice from the cupboard. "Xiaojuan, sorry to bother you," she said as she walked to the kitchen and handed it to Xie Xiaojuan.
"It's all right, third aunt. You can go do your work."
Lu Jiao nodded and walked to the east bedroom after she had drawn a basin of water from the water tank outside.
Before she had even entered, she could hear the four little ones' sad and choked cries, "Daddy, wake up."
"Don't sleep, we won't fight anymore."
"Never fight with others again, don't be angry."
When Lu Jiao walked in, she saw the four of them standing in a line, crying and wiping away their tears.
Lu Jiao called them over, "Come here, wash your face, wipe your body. See how dirty you look."
When the quadruplets turned around to look at her, they recalled how Lu Jiao had protected them before, and they felt a lot closer to her.
The eldest child came over quickly and said while looking up at her, "First, you give daddy medicine."
"I checked on him earlier. He's fine. Don't worry about it," Lu Jiao said, looking at the eldest child as she sat down on the only stool in the room.
"Then why doesn't he wake up?" the four little boys asked, puzzled.
"He was already injured, and now he got angry again, so he can't wake up right now, but don't worry, he'll be fine."
