Chapter 166: 170 A Woman with Eyes only for Money

170 A Woman with Eyes only for Money
Lu Jiao quickly finished breakfast and cleaned up the dirty dishes.

“You boys stay and listen to your dad. Don’t make him mad, got it?”

The four little ones nodded and indicated that they will be good.

“Mommy, come home early.”

“We will wait for you.”

The four little ones stared after Lu Jiao. Lu Jiao patted their heads, “I will come home early and bring you peaches and grapes.”

Xie Yunjin’s face dropped when he heard that. Peaches and grapes were brought here by Baohe Tang.

Lu Jiao spoke about those fruits like she owned them. That meant she had a great relationship with Baohe Tang.

Xie Yunjin thought of Dr. Qi and that owner whom he’s never met.

The more Xie Yunjin thought about it, the more depressed he got. His face turned a bit cold.

Lu Jiao ignored him and asked him, “Keep an eye on the four little ones. Don’t let them run around too much. I should be back by noon.”

Before Xie Yunjin could respond, Lu Jiao left with the leaders.

Xie Yunjin watched them leave in a bad mood. From inside to outside, he seeped with negativity.

The four little ones noticed and quickly went to show their concern.

“Daddy, how come you are not happy? Your legs hurt?”

“If your legs hurt, I can massage them. When I massaged mom’s legs, she smiled.”

“I can blow on your legs. Blowing helps with the pain.”

The First Born raised an eyebrow and glanced between his father and the door. He felt his dad’s unhappiness was related to his mom.

The First Born’s brain flashed. His dad must be worried like him – worried that his mom wouldn’t return home. That must be it.

The First Born grabbed Xie Yunjin’s hand and said, “Daddy, don’t worry. Mommy will come back.”

Xie Yunjin denied immediately, “What are you talking about? I’m not worried about that. Why would she not come back?”

Where would she go? She was his wife and she liked him so much.

He was simply in a bad mood knowing how close she was with other people.

Xie Yunjin thought of his legs. He will be able to walk soon. Once he could, he could accompany her on these trips.

Xie Yunjin’s mood improved.

Lu Jiao had no idea what was going on inside his head and rode into town in the oxcart.

When Qi Lei saw her, he happily went to greet her, “Lady Lu, how come you’re here?”

Lu Jiao pointed at the Village and Clan Leaders, “Where’s your owner? I brought the leaders here to chat.”

This time, Qi Lei didn’t bring the group to the backyard. Lu Jiao knew right away that the wounded guy they saved last time still rested there. Therefore, they had to avoid the area.

Qi Lei smiled, “Wait here for a minute. I will ask the owner to come here.”

“Okay.”

Zhao Lingfeng arrived shortly after and everyone went to chat in a private room.

Lu Jiao introduced the leaders to Zhao Lingfeng and said, “I heard that you were planning on opening a pharmacy. My village wants to start leech keeping. I wonder if you would be willing to purchase leeches from us?”

Zhao Lingfeng raised an eyebrow at Lu Jiao, appearing graceful and high-class.

To the leaders, they felt like that man was a buddha sitting in a very tall chair. They didn’t even dare to look straight at him.

Lu Jiao didn’t feel anything. That man was simply born into a good family. In her opinion, this Zhao Lingfeng likely had a harder life than a commoner.

Zhao Lingfeng wasn’t thinking that much. He simply felt that it was weird for Lu Jiao to bring these men here. The pharmacy was a business they mutually agreed upon and she could make that decision. Why would she bring them over here?

He thought that it meant Lu Jiao didn’t want anyone to know about her involvement in the pharmacy. If that is the case, then Zhao Lingfeng will cooperate.

He turned to the leaders and said calmly, “You want to keep leeches?”

“Yes, yes. I wonder if you are willing to buy them off of us?”

Zhao Lingfeng didn’t give the leaders a hard time, “We will. How many acres of land are you planning on dedicating to this?”

The leaders were ecstatic. As long as Baohe Tang decides to be a buyer, their options would open up and they wouldn’t need to fear.

“We are thinking of starting with two acres of land to start the reproduction process.”

The Village Leader explained carefully then shot Lu Jiao a look to confirm he said it right.

Lu Jiao nodded, a little impatient. She said to Zhao Lingfeng, “We are here to sign a contract and get some deposit from you. What do you say?”

Zhao Lingfeng knew right away that Lu Jiao was impatient. Though he hasn’t known her for too long, he knew she was not the patient kind.

Zhao Lingfeng didn’t want to wrong this money-maker and agreed right away, “Sure. I will give you 20 taels of silver as a deposit. How’s that?”

Though he was talking to the leaders, he was looking at Lu Jiao.

Lu Jiao agreed right away and stood up, “Then, you guys can sort out the details. I have to go buy some stuff around town.”

She’s eaten all the meat from before. Today, other than sorting out the contract, she had to buy food for the family.

After she stood up, someone pushed the door open and walked in. It was the guy Lu Jiao’s met before – Mo Bei.

When he saw Lu Jiao, coldness rushed up his cheeks and fury shot out of his eyes. This woman truly only lights up when she sees money. Before, removing one arrow from his master cost them 5,000 taels of silver.

Zhao Lingfeng saw the look on Mo Bei’s face and almost begged him to not provoke Lady Lu.

Zhao Lingfeng peeked at Lu Jiao, who remained unmoving and expressionless as if she didn’t notice Mo Bei.

She tried to leave the room but Mo Bei blocked her way.

“My master wants to see you.”

Lu Jiao was blunt, “No.”

Though these people were obviously rich, as long as she didn’t do anything illegal, she had no reason to fear them. Plus, she saved their lives, which meant they shouldn’t give her a hard time. Lu Jiao had the right to not be scared.

She tried to push away Mo Bei’s arm but she failed.

Mo Bei opened his mouth again, “My master wants to see you.”

Lu Jiao didn’t speak. Zhao Lingfeng stood up and walked over, “His master’s the person you saved last time. He likely wants to thank you.”

Lu Jiao truly didn’t want to go see that “master”. She didn’t want to get involved with all these people. The way Mo Bei was behaving, however, made it clear that if she refused today, he would make sure she didn’t get to leave this place.

Lu Jiao was in a rush to buy groceries and didn’t want to waste time there. In an exasperated tone, she blurted out, “Lead the way.”
